Things that go Bump in the Night (Van/Open)

[Marcus Prasad]

Bark at the moon!

Rina and Tah would have thier own problems to contend with, nevermind what happened to Marcus. Inside the Store they would see only darkness, the only sounds they would hear would be the heavy snarling of Tah's dogs as they dissapeared inside along with Marcus' Roars of Defiance along with something......else.

Something alot bigger.

Kind of like the something biggers that began to ooze out of the Darkness around the pair. A sickening crunch could be heard just behind Tah and Rina as a massive shape smashed down into a parked car on all fours before almost non chalantly trotting off of it. In the light the creature looked like a wolf only larger and mishapen, as if it's muscles had grown improperly, shifting uncomfortably under the patches of scarred and stitched up flesh that could be seen. It's head was a lumpy mess as it raised it's stubby snout to sniff the air with a wet snuffing sound before lowering it to Growl low and dangerously at the Pair.

Suddenly another Mutant....Warg. Yes, Lets call them Wargs. Another Warg would then ooze out of the Darkness down the street, it's razor sharp claws clicking against the pavement as it stalked its way to new prey, letting out a horrific sounding howl that would chill the bones of those who heard it. What was even more disconcerting was the sounds of return howling comming from two seperate locations.

Inside, The dogs would find Marcus Virtualy Wrestling with the savage creature, who was in fact LARGER than the ones outside. Perhaps it was the Alpha? Either way, With no time to Pull out his fang he was reduced to grappling with the thing, twisting it this way and that in a bid to gain leverage enough to swing the creature round and into something big and heavy.

Well, that was until Tahs dogs bounced off his broad back in thier own bid to get at the creatures throat. Now with three new threats latched on to the creatures shaggy throat, the monster would rear up onto it's hind legs and try to bring it's bulk down onto the dogs, crushing them between it and the floor.

Or at least it would have if Marcus didn't tackle the thing instead, turning the melee into a confusing mass of fists, teeth and claws as the Larger Warg tried to pull away and get some distance. The fur around it's neck managing to mostly protect it though it bled from quite a few wounds.

[Vespyr]

Tah's eyes widened a little bit at the sight of the beast, though he kept quiet and the only sign of fear he showed would be the sudden tensing of his shoulders. For a long moment he just stared, quite unsure how to react to this… which he'd never seen before.

… He hoped these weren't the things Marcus had been talking about, or the deal was definitely off.

His right hand trembled a little as it reached for something at his hip, and a moment later his other hand followed to its own pocket and he held in his hands, respectively, a collapsable baton and a serrated hunting knife. The young man's wide green eyes were resolutely fixed on the beast, for a moment unable to react at all. But then his right wrist flicked, extending the baton to its three-foot length. It was snappy and whip-like, definitely a necessity for any animal trainer who had to deal with rabid beasts on a daily basis. The tool was scarred with bite marks and scrapes but the boy held it expertly in his hand, ready to lash out at the creature should it make any approach.

It was a standoff. The young man's stance and the resolute, unyielding look in his green eyes was a well-practiced tactic for asserting control over his own dogs, reminding them who was boss... though he had no idea how well that would work with this... thing.

Inside the store, Tah's dogs would relentlessly jump up with snapping jaws at the beast's thick throat. Frustration only urged them to snap harder, viciously, their maws dripping and oozing with bloody saliva. As the massive warg backed away from Marcus, the three smaller beasts would advance and continue lunging for its throat, as well as its belly, ducking their heads between its muscled legs at any opening it left. The hounds seemed to attack in unison; once one of them began running behind the beast's legs, the other two followed suit, until the constant ducking in and out beneath the creature's abdomen would most likely cause it to trip or confuse itself if it tried attacking anyone of the dogs at once.

[Rina Vade]

The appearance of such twisted creatures sent Rina moving for higher ground; the top of a semi. It was where she felt safest. And well, those things were massive. She lifted an arm and Niveus dove forward as she channeled her kinetic energy to him.

It would give him more bite when it came to attacking.

The blackbird went for the eyes of the creatures as Rina flitted from the top of one car to the next, avoiding drawing the attention of the Wargs. She was intent on getting into that building to see if Marcus was alright. Her gazed snapped over to the boy and his weapon of choice made her raise a brow. "Oooo, nice." she thought with a grin.

Niveus cawed at her sharply, telling her to focus. She frowned at him, but tore her gaze away and continued on her path.

~Dex lowered while using her Qi~

OOC - Drunk as hell. If this all makes sense, I'll be surprised. Took me a while.
