Streets of Fandom - Saturday

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

There was a bull-size wolf moving through town. The fact that some people might end up thinking he was a monster had occurred to Jacob, but his sense of self preservation was very much skewed. Besides, how many monsters did you know that walked around with a cut off pair of jeans attached to his hind leg by a gas mask. Luckily there was no droid baby, Sedna had been dumped with Morgana which seemed better for everyone involved. Except perhaps Morgana.

It left Jacob free to wander the island, trying to pick up a scent of the wolves that had taken the principal. He couldn't help wondering if the one he'd met on Thursday had anything to do with it. He didn't want to believe it, she'd been... He didn't know what it had been, but he'd been comfortable with her almost as if she'd been one of his pack despite all the differences.

The fog was still thick and while Jake's bulk gave him at least some time before he started hallucinating, he wasn't immune. It forced him to retreat regularly when the vampire scents became more poignant and he could see things moving that weren't really there. He'd find a spot, turn back and breath through the gas mask until he was certain his head was clear enough. Then he'd be back out, looking for real monsters and the wolves. Because somehow that was personal.

[Open for monster encounters and/or running into Jake.]

Bod was not wearing a mask. He knew he probably should have heeded some of the warnings but he was too...curious about the effects of this fog to dull his senses. After all, he didn't plan on staying out long.

It was proving difficult to see, difficult to even move and he'd resorted to waving a hand in front of him to try and disperse some of the fog as he walked.

"This is unreal," he muttered, watching his feet as he walked to make sure he didn't trip over anything errant.

[SP cuz of work but who could resist hallucinating roommates even if one is in wolf form?]

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob heard the voice quite clearly and recognised the scent. He should have run, taken off, but his roommate was out in this thing and he didn't quite like his chances if Bod ran into one of those dinosaur things.

The indecision had probably made it too late anyway and Jacob held his spot, lowering his head to look less intimidating as he peered ahead in the mist.

[therewaslife]

Bod couldn't be sure if he was hallucinating yet because he hadn't seen anything but the thick, black fog. Even so, he found himself blinking to keep his vision clear.

When he thought he caught sight of...something up ahead, he stopped and kept still. Mentally, he cursed for the inability to Fade. Outwardly, he breathed quietly and tried to will himself to see what was near.

The baby godzilla was out for blood, having failed the master when the wolves had not. Blame a poor sense of smell and an island fully of shiny objects.

Spotting an oversized version of his foul beast brothers, the godzilla roared, calling it to battle!

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob raised his head at the sound and even in a fog this thick, he could already make out the huge shape.

His hackles raised and he let out a snarl in response, but kept his ground for the moment just in case he was making this thing up from his previous battle.

[madetoosmrt.livejournal.com]

The snarling wolf was greeted by the thunder of meaty legs lumbering toward him at a surprisingly speedy pace. The baby's tail flicked to and fro, excited to give this monster a taste of the master's fury.

Jennifer was probably foolish to be out in the fog alone. But she knew other people were out there alone, and she was going to face her fears and go out and make sure people were safe.

So also out on the streets was a near seven-foot green giantess, who was definitely no monster.

The one thing she wasn't expecting to see was a giant wolf. Seriously, that was one big wolf.

"...I feel like I should be wearing a big red cloak with a hood," she said.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

It was surprising Jacob hadn't had a Red Riding Hood joke before, but at least it beat having to go through the "I'm not a real monster" thing. He hoped.

He grinned at Jennifer, looking rather amused for a big ass wolf.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer tilted her head. That was definitely a different look for a big animal. And it wasn't attacking her, so she wasn't entirely sure whether it was even real or not.

"Hey wolfie," she greeted. "Don't suppose I know you, huh? Run around here often?"

There was no halting fighters from doing their best to fight back against the things attacking their island home, and Dimitri was no different, spending his day in the fog now that he was better equipped with a mask against the breathable compulsion, thanks to his novice.

Emerging from the thick fog, Dimitri paused at the sight of the familiar wolf.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

For a moment Jake thought he needed to head back already and get some pure oxygen as the vampire scent increased. Except that it wasn't a full vampire scent, but that familiar mix that he'd learn to distinguish talking to Rose.

This wasn't Rose, but the other one and he raised himself, looking at Dimitri but making no attempt to attack him. That'd just be repeating themselves.

[guardian-god.livejournal.com]

Dimitri eyed Jacob, the memory of their first meeting was a strong one. But today there was a different sort of enemy at hand. "I believe we're on the same side today." Dimitri believed they were always on the same side, but convincing a werewolf of that fact was not on his to-do list today.

Triela was out in the streets once again. And she was still quite pissed at the fog. How was she supposed to shoot things with visibility so poor?

Her scowl was hidden underneath her mask, and she kept her weapon at the ready. It wouldn't do be caught unprepared, especially since anything she encountered was likely to be at close range.

She also kept her eye out for other students or adults from the island. It wouldn't do to shoot one of them, either.

[unborn-renegade.livejournal.com]

After the morning's craziness, Jak...

... was still out on the streets. With his blaster gun, and the red laser scope attached. It cut a figure against the fog, that was for sure. Sneaking.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela stopped walking suddenly and cocked her head. She thought she heard a footstep.

Was that... a spotting laser?

The report about the wolves kidnapping the principal meant there was a very cranky two-legged wolf stalking the streets of Fandom, armed with her longbow and sporting one of the strange masks.

By her side, unsurprisingly, was Blind Seer. He did not have a mask, just determination not to repeat the embarrassment of the scent-magic incident in the sewers beneath Thendulla Lypella. His nose would not be fooled again.

Blood, Blind Seer commented, sniffing the air. Wolf's blood.

Show yourself! Firekeeper demanded, wondering if the blood belonged to their prey.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jake had forced himself to get up, his head was swimming from the blood loss, even as his body worked to try and heal him up. The scratches had been deep enough that he still was bleeding and the russet fur on his flank was matted with blood.

Just like his muzzle, there was green and red blood on it, but the wounds there at least were gone. He stopped moving, recognising the familiar scent and really there were only two wolves on the island who'd ever spoken to him like this.

It's just me, he answered.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper's own nose was detecting nothing but the stale smell of the inside of the mask, which was definitely annoying.

Well, 'just me', you look as if you've had some trouble, which was perhaps an understatement as she took in Jacob's state.

Tahiri had had enough of biosuits after that last infiltration of Coruscant, so she was wearing one of her usual flight suits today, only with a rebreather -- a concession she wasn't the fondest of, but a necessary one, particularly after what had happened on Wednesday with Jak and Jono. The rebreather kept her Force senses from getting clouded up like they had that day, so she trusted herself enough to stay under control and range further away from the dorms.

Barefoot as usual, and lightsaber casting a freakish pale blue glow in the fog, she already had gunk from several dispatched creatures on her as she paced through the streets. She was very slightly more the Yuuzhan Vong warrior than the Jedi Knight at the moment; considering the creatures they were dealing with, it seemed the smarter choice, although she was keeping a careful watch over her own state of mind.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

She had enough monster gunk on her that it took a moment for Jacob to figure out what exactly he was smelling. None of the monsters he'd seen so far came with a glowy stick however and so he held back, waiting to see what exactly was coming at him.

As he figured it, it was probably best not to meet up or make any sort of sound as he wasn't eager for any other misunderstandings.

[weetuskenraider]

There was something close by in the fog, and a little exertion of her Force senses gave her the familiar signature of someone she knew. The shape she could halfway make out, though, looked more like Blind Seer than anything else . . . but that wasn't his Force presence.

"It's Tahiri," she called out cautiously, still poised to move if she had to; no idea if whoever was out there was affected by the fog or not.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

It wasn't that surprising that Rose was out wandering through the streets equipped with a gas mask and a sword.

Was it?

She frowned as she saw the large creature emerging through the fog, and the sword was drawn quickly. "God, it's always wolves or psi-hounds or something."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

And here Jake was thinking it always were vampires, or people who stunk like them. Well sort of, there was some distinction, but it still made him wonder if he was hallucinating, except that he didn't think he'd hallucinate about Rose.

So he was going with a no and he came to a stop, lowering his head and eyeing the sword warily.

[heromaniac]

Normal people would assume that monsters and evil fog outside meant you should stay inside. Blossom knew, of course, that no one on this island was truly normal, and so far she'd had to rescue and try to escort home more than one NPCitzen.

So, yeah. Blossom was out and about, pounding the streets (stupid fog!) and doing her hero thing and keeping an eye out for any possible clues about the kidnapping.

[madetoosmrt.livejournal.com]

She might want to spent a little less time looking for clues, and maybe a little more time paying attention to that low growling sound somewhere off to her side.
