Reanimates a putrid corpse, then directs it to start punching itself in its rotten face with an equally rotten hand.
"Stop hitting yourself."
It's an amusing break from scavenging for useful items scattered about the stinking battlefield.
It was hard to turn the stomach of one of Nurgle's plaguelords, but the strange green-clad figures manages it. The Unclean One visibly recoils at the perversion of the cycle of life and death, it's accent thick with mucus and no small bit of anger as it's clogged nostrils flare.
"Do you mind?"
A huge Plaguesword is pulled from the entrails of the daemon. With monstrous strength, the rusting brass thing slams down on the zombie with enough force to be felt through the earth.
That's the biggest fucking rat he's ever seen in his life.
-16 has to convince himself he's not hallucinating. He doesn't move right; he's too steady for something human-shaped and especially for one who is bewildered. The Apex is so still, in fact, that one might not be faulted for believing he's a particularly well-posed armor display that just so happens to be staring directly at Sulfur -- those red lenses give away nothing.
He'll wait to see what this "Ratzilla" will do. With luck, the thing is some T-infected creation and won't try its chances with him.
Well. While the large human sized rat is NOT T-infected, he does NOT try his luck with this freaky new thing that smelled all sorts of wrong and wasn't moving. He jumps like a cat and lands on all fours to arch his back and hiss, fur spiked all over, and back away several steps before bolting for his life!
She's holding up her mutated arm, and extended hand tendril. The purring discussions have not gone unnoticed.
“Depends, are you gonna scratch it with that one?” It looked like it could slice his ears off, but he had to admit to himself that he was curious about what those claws would feel like... Behind his ears, mostly, but also just to touch.
He’s practically teetering on the edge of the CRRC, absolutely fixated on the IR lights of the unidentified vessel some distance behind them — oh, yes, he can see them.
“It will cost you a gun for the next hour, but I can get rid of that for you.” / @vehxmence
it's the practiced calm of the dead ghost exudes - always one to live up to the namesake he'd taken upon himself. he hears what's spoken to him, and brown eyes flick over, studying his companion. his thumb idly runs along his sniper, laid in his lap. an hour. he could be without. he's gone for longer, he knows that. the knives hidden on his person are enough reassurance he'll survive without.
he wordlessly offers out the rifle, though there's a look in his eyes that threaten if there's a scratch on it, there'll be hell to pay.
Sits on his nonexistent porch, guarding his nonexistent lawn with a very existent enchanted rocket launcher waiting for the fucking thing to come around again.
[ turn ] your muse rolling from beneath to atop my muse. - 16, sparring, I’m sure there’s no way Bertha could possibly make this weird
The medic purrs from her spot underneath, pushing her head up not to headbutt 16, but to press their masks together, "Is that an inhuman mutation in your pants, or are you just enjoying our little training session? I hope it's a bit of both."
Nothing escapes -16's analytical stare, not here. He's too used to how people walk, their tones of voice, their postures. And so when he sees Jill for the first time with that damnable device in place, he knows something is wrong before he even catches a glimpse of the hardware. She doesn't cringe away from him like she did before, albeit unconsciously. She doesn't...do anything at all, really; at first it prompts that Apex urge to remind her of the pecking order, but he holds back, and when he sees the glint of metal and pieces together the conversation he can just hear in the other room, his demeanor shifts entirely.
He passes by her without any of his usual stiffening or hard staring, but he does eye her with something indecipherable behind that mask -- something that isn't even performative hostility.
The countless surgeries, her body being built anew after being decimated by the fall, through all of it she fought. Screamed until her voice was hoarse, fought until she had to be sedated- but not anymore. Now the screaming is only in her own head, fighting the prison that is her own body.
Always perceptive, she can almost feel his hackles rise when she doesn't move away when she remains unresponsive. If he attacks, can I respond? She wills her body to give her any sign- but it doesn't. Jill wills herself to say something, say anything- to beg him to kill her to put her out of this misery. But on the surface she is calm, breathing even, seemingly unbothered by whatever is going on beneath the surface, kept perfectly complacent with the red glow in her chest.
By their very nature, vampires are monsters; Garrett holds no illusions about that and he doesn't understand those who do (he does understand the longing for the life one has lost, but pretending like many Toreador seem to do will only hurt in the end). But he also knows there are some among the clans who can be (theoretically) worse, like the Tzimisce fleshcrafters or the Sabbat in general. He might be a monster, but he’s glad at least he wasn't brought into that side of Kindred society.
Talking bat? Talking bat. She's seen some weird shit on this little pilgrimage of hers, but this is a first.
Hawker very, very slowly lowers the map, mismatched eyes straining through the light of her meager campfire.
"I have had one drink," she mutters, staring into the tree as if she needs convincing.
[You get mainverse Hawk because she's very neglected aslkdfjhalksjdfh]
Ears quickly swivel back. Whoops. Wings fold over each other as claws adjust on the branch.
"I suppose the cat is out of the proverbial bag." He half mutters to himself before turning back to the human. Hm. Maybe he could still recover this moment.
