[ entering a room we know nothing about, full of wolves who might want to kill us. what's not to feel good about?

reaching for that door handle though ]

[he's got the Lady's brooch clutched and hidden in one hand now lol

I think we'll need to. Ananke--use your best judgement on whether to stay or move, but be ready to run with that body.]

[ I'll stay out of sight. If anything goes wrong, I can be there in seconds.

And then, over the radio ]

I'm okay here. I gotta make sure the fire's out, but I'm sending them through to you.

[a crackle of the radio. It's unsure if they heard it all entirely, but something went through.

they enter and.........

It's something resembling a literal underground casino. Huh. There are slots and tables and such all for entertainment purposes. Or that's what it looks like on first glance. They might notice there's no (known) currency at use, or even stand ins like poker chips and such. Things on the table include actual food, like bread or packs of meat or fresh vegetables. They'll also notice scattered belongings here and there. A jacket here, maybe a scarf. It looks like the people who were evacuated were done so in a hurry.

More immediate though, to their attention, is the dozen or so security wolves staring at them with utter confusion. Like the security they had faced up til now, some have masks, the power of which keeping the ink-like ooze on their fur in place, while others are just, y'know. Normal wolf furries in suits. Judging by how they all look the Lily 'wolves' up and down with bafflement, they're clearly on guard, guns drawn, unfamiliar, but not ready to pump them full of lead yet.

They all look between each other tensely, before a flatscreen tv on the wall flickers on. The wolves immediately all turn their heads toward it, ears perked up in attention.]

[And that's when a familiar face (to some) appears. Ceo, glaring through the screen, over his glasses.

His attention seems to be focused solely on Charon, and he sneers.]

Well. At least it isn't Clover.

[he stares even harder.

Lethe, Kevin, and Cepheus will hear an incredibly hard to resist order in their heads as their bodies move on their own:

Kill the captured sheep. The Lily.

roll 1d10 - if 5 or lower, you can't resit at all. If 6-9, you still are compelled to attack but can control it somewhat. If a 10, Charon can counter-order you.

And then Ceo speaks outloud.]

If they resist, take them out. I don't believe those are refugees.

[the Teacher's skill does not cut out, which is exactly how everyone else knows Lethe lost his will save immediately. he reaches for the weapon that is easiest to grab--his gun--but from the angle they're all at, there is a few seconds of delay before he actually levels the thing at Charon's head. hey maybe someone should stop hi]

[ from ONE side there's the Hades kid with a bone crushing tackle--]

[ has his sword in his hand before he knows what he's doing, but — no, no, no.

ALSO TACKLES LETHE FROM BEHIND let's go this ain't happening ]

Finally, I meet the bastard who won't believe his sister lives.

[ANANKE. GET HERE NOW

he does not even bother keeping up the pretense a second longer, just. pivots. pulls one of his own guns from his coat, in the same motion he drops the rope. starts shooting the guards in their gun-holding hands one by one by one

good: his aim is actually fantastic. Triguns taught this man how to shoot. the bullets contain honeysuckle

bad: the rest of Lily, or at least Lethe, may feel a a kind of visceral rising lockup terror from him that doesn't quite freeze him entirely, but makes it a lot less likely he'll hit exactly where he intends to after the first few shots]

[ Ananke's already in motion by the time Charon's command comes through, zipping down the hall at top speed. The moment he's in the doorway of the 777 room he snaps across the link—

EYES CLOSED.

It's time for another BLINDING FLASH followed by charging up an energy blast for later as a safety measure ]

[The TACKLE knocks Lethe's senses back to normal, overlaying Ceo's command. Likewise Kevin and Cepheus don't feel the wolf's presence anymore either.

Meanwhile Charon oh here being a SHARP SHOOTER. A couple manage to get some shots out, but most are disarmed harmlessly.

Ceo watches all this with a wrinkled, snarl of a muzzle--he JUST got her body back he does not want to hear lip from a Lily!! Before he can say anything though, he sees Ananke zipping back in.

He barks out an order before killing the feed.]

Do NOT let them escape, by any means necessary!

[And then there's the flash. Ker-blind. . .

For most.

Two of the mask wolves, well. They do what the boss said. And remove their masks. Immediately their bodies are contorting, resembling that of your typical mist wolves, and they lash out blindly under the cover the flash.

Everyone but Ananke--roll 1d10. If 5 or lower, CHOMP.

Meanwhile, that brooch of Charon's is vibrating. Let her know if yall need a save bro.]

[god this is embarrassing. he snaps back to normal just in time to roll out of the way of a mist wolf and back onto his feet!! this time when he aims, it's at a mist wolf with a sunflower. sun beam right to the face for that guy]

[ meanwhile, he's lashing out with his sword when he gets CHOMPED right in the sword arm. drops riptide as he shouts in pain and pure fury ]

[starts to fumble for a sunflower, curses as a wolf's jaws close on his arm, and kicks it away from him, scrambling for the door (he'll help anyone who appears stuck beore he leaves the room though)]

RUN. WE'LL CALL THE LADY IN THE FACTORY.]

[ why bother with sunflowers when he can just energy blast these wolves in the face??

GO! I'll cover our exit! ]

[fuckin sunflowers!!1

Its enough to disorient the wolf that gets it with it though it does kind of berserk out.

And starts absorbing some of its fellow security wolves. Including the body they brought! SO YEAH OKAY TO BLAST THAT ONE as the others blindly try to shoot as they fly, calling for back up on their radios, while others try to get the mist wolves' masks back on.

The factory is the same as it was, if you're gonna break in and do some steals, better do it now.]

[ You know what. Kevin's been good and he hasn't really gotten to murder anything and he is VIBRATING from his near miss with getting bitten.

when they pass the door, he lets out a frustrated noise and tears all the metal out of it at once with his earthbending powers. maybe the door too. fuck it. ]

[ well.

while this is happening.

gonna be flooding the path behind them as they head back, to cover their retreat!! ]

Edited 2024-06-24 02:58 (UTC)

[since everyone else is covering their exit, Lethe keeps his eyes up front in case they run into any problems ahead, gun and sunflower at the ready. he flicks Charon a look to be ready to call their Lady at a second's notice]

[someone else grab the masks real quick, he’s going to hurriedly look around for ANYTHING that looks written (instructions, blueprints, whatever.) if it’s nailed down and he can’t take it he’s going to memorize what it looked like to reproduce for a Weed later

once that’s done he squeezes the brooch in his hand yeah]

Lady, please, we need you now.

[ as soon as everyone's out of the 777 room, Scaranke unleashes another blinding flash before following them out. He'll grab a few masks as they race through the factory, keeping an eye out for anything else that looks remotely interesting.

If there's nothing left after Charon's sweep then he's at least grabbing the welding torch. Maybe Aides will like it. ]

[ Meanwhile, Kevin is wrecking the vending machine and stealing as many snacks as he can get his hands on. ]

[Yes they can take the table note and yes Kevin gets ALL THE SNACKS and will belatedly realize there was a hidden passage into the casino behind it,

but hey those wolves are still rolling in, tho most are getting swept away by the water! But those who aren't are readying their weapons and removing their masks again. . .

just before a plume of fire pours out around Lily, and their priest appears. She shudders all over.]

See? See, this is why I'd NEVER step foot in such a dirty place.

[and she isn't! She's floating.

But anyway! A snap of her fingers, and dead vines erupt through the floor, impaling or restraining the remaining wolves. Are they also dead? PROBABLY. Not her problem!! She claps her hands.

a large spider lily begins to bloom beneath them.]

Let's get out of this sty, shall we?

[The petals fold over them, bringing them into darkness.]
