[ORP] Eye See You (Chel Plot EVERYONE WELCOME PG 2)

[chiickadee]

It might have looked like a silly children's drawing, were it not so enormous and ******** terrifying. It had no particular shape, it was all shadow and curled masses and tentacles. And eyes. So many eyes. Each of them a different shade with different pupils all different sizes as though they'd been plucked from different creatures in fantastical worlds.

Scratch that, definitely plucked from different creatures, because the enormous tentacle creature had now picked up one of errant market goers and was forcibly removing one of his eyes. It surged down the tentacle, being absorbed into the creature's flesh.

Eventually, it popped forward from the shadows. A new eye to decorate his most horrible form.

A hearthy laugh erupted from the shadows as Chel lay limp on the ground. Just what had she done?

Quote:

ALL SEEING
A giant tentacle monster who steals eyeballs. Though he had originally dwelled in Other Ashdown, he's found a way to the real Ashdown through Chelsea Craft, who is now stone cold knocked out on the ground drenched in her own blood.

Shun's gaze shifted from the bright green jar, to the looming shadow not too far off. He came to a halt, as he needed a moment to take in what the hell was going on right about now.

Many eyes sprouted from the creature, and nearby he could see Chel on the ground. Bloodied. He couldn't tell if she was dead or alive. But given its proximity, and what he had heard of the creature, he could guess that this was All-Seeing.

As he eyed it, his vision flickered. He could see the Other Ashdown police department. The vision carried him down the steps leading into the lower archives, before stopping abruptly at the metal door.

he hissed, before calling out, "Everyone fall back! Stay away from it!"

He was off duty. He didn't have his gun with him. He kind of wished he did right about now. He also didn't have his radio on his physical person. He did have his phone, though.

His warnings had come out too late as the creature plucked someone up and... well. Plucked their eyes.

"s**t, s**t..." he uttered while flipping out a pocket knife. He wasn't about to start tapping into his powers just yet. Not while he was so out in the open. At least none of the powers that are inherently obvious.

In any case, All-Seeing had started its assault. He needed to find a way to subdue it. One way or another. What was even the right protocol for handling a monstrosity? Either way, this was not going to help with the whole fear of magic thing.

He reached for his phone and dialed up Jeremiah while he rushed in closer to the beast, striking at one of the eyes coming from a tendril before rolling away.

"Mercer. We have a--" he was cut off with a grunt as the tentacle slapped him across the back, "- Situation at the farmers market. Giant shadow eye monster - All Seeing is attacking citizens."

Screams could probably be heard in the background of the phonecall.

Shun has heightened reflexes that allow him to dodge things better basically. Helpful y/n?

Jeremiah had not been expecting any phone calls from Shun, it was Saturday, and while normally he did not work that day he had actually gone in to get a few things taken care.

"Detective Kuroda," he greeted, before the young detective started talking and-

"What?" Quickly followed by. "Protect civilians, do what you can, I'll be right there after I make the necessary calls." Which meant the Chief of Police was having to put in a call for crazy magical bullshit is going down.

B1ade Kuroda

he will be there very shortly

chiickade3

jer's got damage resistance (hella), so would it be possible to get an extra 5 points of HP when his butt gets there?

 

[chiickadee]

As Shun came down from his vision, he would noticed one of the eyes that was once a piercing gold turn to a dull grey color.

blade kuroda

Due to his reflexes, Shun only takes 3 damage instead of 5.

azuredreams

Jeremiah's damage resistance can grant him an extra 5 HP yes!

Dawson's eyes bulged at the sight of the monster, and his hands began to break out in a sweat. He watched a man collapse, blood spurting almost comically from his now empty eye socket, and the instinct to get the hell out of dodge nearly overwhelmed him.

"s**t. C'mon, lil' dude," he said to Shiloh, hoping to take his arm if not his hand. Hoping to leave before things got worse. They always did.

It was almost stop motion. Five seconds ago there was space, and then in sudden segments there was something there. The shock had him fall over himself, but he barely felt the pavement against his palms as he pulled himself back up. He could deck weres and party at mysterious balls, but Jack did not feel suitably strong enough to fight something like All-Seeing.

Shun had his phone out; he presumed Jeremiah was being contacted. They could contain the situation, or bring others that could. Meanwhile, he...

Jack plucked the unconscious Chel from the ground, trying to put distance between them and All-Seeing. He wasn't sure fleeing was out of the question, but for sure he had to find a spot to stop the bleeding. As the crowd began to devolve into a panic, he ducked in, following the course until he found a large abandoned stall of organic vegetables. He wrinkled his nose at the smell, but it'd do.

Lying her down, he began to try and stem the bleeding.

Realistically, leaving was probably the smart choice. He couldn't afford to put himself in harms way for a myriad of reasons: being the key, promises to Jamie to keep safe, his goal to protect the pepole he cared about. In the same breath, when had Shiloh ever done anything smart? These people were getting hurt--innocent people--people that didn't need to be harmed by magic. It was like Blackfrair's all over again.

"B-But-- Oh <******** no--" he tried to reason with Daws, frozen in place, torn between fight or flight. As it was, he stumbled backwards as he was pulled away, not yet having the resistance to pull away. He took his phone out to text Jamie instead.

saedusk
text to: Lucky <3

ok so
big fcking monster just shwd up
frmers market
gonna try not 2 die
idk wht ppl say during ths s**t
ilu

He smashed send, hesitating before sending out a smile text to his brother. All-Seeing was more monstrous than anything he'd seen conjured up from the otherworld, and it was terrifying.

"We can't just run." His feet finally found their footing, stopping quickly despite Daws grip on his arm. Granted, he could still drag him off if he wanted to; man was a lot bigger after all.

Jack would find that where Chel went, All-Seeing could go too. He was still tethered to her blood, it would seem. Not that it made much difference; he was so huge and ever-growing that being attached to this spot or that spot made very little difference in his mobility.

The bleeding didn't stop, but upon pulling up her shirt to stem the blood he would find what seemed to look like a series of marks around All-Seeing's tattoo. The first was a series of long-since healed knife marks, jagged in a shape around the tattoo. The second was a new series of cuts, more closely cut to the tattoo, but still healed over. One could deduce she'd tried to cut the tattoo out more than once. The last was the tattoo itself, which was where the blood was coming from.

And of course, she didn't wake up.

The look on his face said yes we most certainly can, but Dawson stopped pulling him for a moment. His hand remained firm in grip. "Ya got somethin' that can sweep this thing up?" he asked, dreading and reluctant. The only reason Shiloh wouldn't be backing out, he realized, would be because he was part of the magical world too. Because he may or may not have been used to it, and that made his heart twinge. "Power or somethin'?"

- - -

Of course she would have tried to handle this herself. Of course.

Cold hands pulled his scarf off to try and press down on the tattoo regardless. As one hand kept it pressed down, the other dialed a number.

"Temp," he breathed into the receiver as around him were the sounds of screams and knocked over tables, "tell me you're good at supernatural healing."

Shun hung up quickly, not wanting to divert his attention from All Seeing more than he needed to. Jack was pulling Chel away but... was the creature following? It was hard to tell with how massive this thing was. But if Jack could get her out of the way and possibly stabilized, it was one less thing he had to worry about here.

He glanced to Dawson and Shiloh briefly, expecting them to flee, then scanned the area for anything that might be of use. There mostly was just a bunch of fruits and vegetables around here. Then again...

Looking down to his side, he saw some fresh, organic, habaneros on display. Furrowing his brow, he plucked one and continued to move around, looking for any citizens that were possibly still within the creature's reach. While he moved, he went ahead and coated the blade of his knife with the pepper. If nothing else, this stabbed into one of its eyes may cause a considerable extra amount of pain, which hopefully might distract it more. That was the idea, anyway.

"Get out of here," he urged, seeing someone scrambling under one of the stands. He put himself between the monster and the hiding person for the time being, and it was then that his vision flickered to Other Ashdown once more. He saw the theater, with its various gashes that had been left behind by the Destroyer. The vision was brief, but it still took his attention away from All Seeing for a moment. The next thing he saw was one of its tendrils coming straight for him. He managed to shift off to the side a bit, feeling it bludgeon his arm lightly. While he moved, he just flicked his blade up into the tendril. It probably didn't do much. He had been caught off guard.

The cheerful chirp of her phone thoroughly interrupted her attempt at straightening her room. She almost ignored it for a second.

"Jack," she said, and listened. Temperance's mouth formed into a hard line. "Where do you need me?"

medigel

chiickadee

how would healing type powers translate here? ie:
stitch witch
Temperance can heal others by 'pinching' closed wounds using her fingers. The wound edges must be no greater than two inches apart.

 

[medigel]

"Farmer's market," he answered quickly. "Big Other creature taking eyes. Be careful."

Dawson would be right. Shiloh was, in fact, very magically inclined. His noble rights screamed at him to do something. His status as a principal said he should run. "I—" He was fighting for his words again, "Yeah— no? It's—"

His eyes never left All-Seeing, weary in case it tried to strike at them. "I mean, I'm still not that practiced." His teeth were gritting together now. "I-I dunno if I need to out myself either." His voice dropped to a hushed sort of hiss, hand tightly clenched around his cell phone. The flowers did start to flourish outwards now; light green vines coiling his finger tips and the cellular device. Buds formed. Thorns bloomed rather than flowers.

And he seemed to realize this too, because he was pulling his hand closer to his chest like he was trying to hide it (not that anyone was really intent on noticing him compared to the horror-terror). Then again, there was Shun, fighting without any sort of apprehension.

"I mean, we can't just—" he shook his head, "I-I don't know what to do but it can't just— it going to level half of the ******** town." Not that he felt like the heroic type, but people he knew would more than likely be involved, and another death of someone he cared about was the last thing he wanted.

So the flowers were more than just strange decorations. For some reason, it saddened him to see. It was like that old Spider-Man quote: with great power comes great responsibility. Kids like Shiloh shouldn't have been worrying about that yet.

Dawson gulped as he glanced at the mound of eyes again, but there was a resolution solidifying within him. He let Shiloh's arm go, set his mouth into a grim line, and then fixed his cap. "Okay. I can try an' keep up," he said. "Ain't got nothin' like magic flowers, but I can take a beatin' n' watch yer back." Well, so he hoped.

Melancholies

chiickadee

can daws' yaoi hands aid him if he defends someone? is there a defense mechanic now that I'm thinking about it and if so, does he take damage when he does?

 

[chiickadee]

Shiloh wouldn't have the option of convincing Dawson further; one of the tentacles snared his ankle and began dragging him towards the tentacled mass.

Marcus and Shun would notice two more eyes go a dark, innert gray.

the semblance of unity

chels tattoo is bigger than two inches unfortunately!

istoleyurvamps

Marcus can do 5 flat damage per bomb-thing created.

medigel

Daws can spend a turn making Yaoi Hands and deflect someone else's auto-damage. He still takes damage himself.
