Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

[Rule 34]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

"Heh. I like her, she's a keeper. Ain't that right, Jimmy? Jimmy?" Alan turns towards the headless, handless apparition and stares at it for a moment before bursting out in laughter. "Oh right, I almost forgot how bad this fuck-up messed you up." Fletch's eyes go wide as the horrors of his past rise and slowly walk towards them. Jimmy slowly shambles towards the crazy bite-sized bitch holding him, and as his bloody stomps touch her, her flesh starts to flow and part like a puddle of skin-colored mud... and he slowly steps inside her, and his arms are hers, and her face is his bleeding, fleshy, torn neck stump and Fletch releases a blood curling scream of horror and slams his head forward as hard as he can.

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

River grunts as she drops to a knee under the assault, having missed the woman as she sped past. to make up for it, she slashed at the guy's face with her other arm, then sped off after her as she healed, aiming to pounce on her again and drag her to the ground with her claws.

(Activating Celerity again, clawing guy once then chasing after the woman to claw her a bunch.)

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Digging her fangs deeper into the brute's flesh, her teeth grinding into his skin, she jerked her head back, hoping to tear free a large chunk of flesh before snapping her head forward and going for his neck.

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

"Shit!" Izzy can't get back far enough after the bruiser shakes off Raven. She also can't help but get momentarily distracted, wanting to make sure he's okay and that's when he hits her. She doubles slightly, but it's more from the force of it than the pain, her supernatural fortitude making for a bit of a buffer with regard to any wounds. Picking her head up some, she actually laughs.

"My turn."

Raising the gun again, she squeezes off another shot into him, not exactly caring where she hits, just that she does so, and something that big is an easy target for even her at that range.

(She's aiming for torso, head would be ideal, but I'll leave it to you to determine her hit...or if she does. He's obviously got Celerity.)

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

As Claire tears her fangs loose from the biker's shoulder she has to spit a chunk of bloody flesh out of her mouth before she brings her fangs back down on his throat. His grunts of pain abate for a second only to return as he somehow seems to squeeze Claire even tighter causing more of her bones to crack and break loudly. (total of 3 lethal damage for Claire.)

River catches one of the guy's eyes with her claws momentarily giving her the chance to slip away and chase the girl when he goes to grasp at his face. She manages to just catch the girl as she goes to open the stall, the girl hoping to have just enough time seems to fumble with the catch as she grunts in frustration. Though her shaking of the catch seems to have roused whatever is inside as the stall rattles a little accompanied by a growling sound. (total of 1 lethal damage for River.)

Eve looks to the rifle for a second before deciding it's too far away to grab before the woman will be on top of her. Thankfully the fleeting shadows she had been seeing have disappeared as she gets to her feet and prepares to defend herself as best as she can form the woman's assault. The woman steps forward and throws a punch for Eve's head which she barely manages to duck away from. (total of 1 lethal damage for Eve.)

Toro doesn't even bother to move out of the way as the bullet from Izzy's gun passes through his gut, only grinning evilly as he unleashes two more blows on Izzy catching her in the face and stomach. As she falls back from the force of the blows she can see Raven has jumped on the back of the biker's shoulders and rams his skull straight into the back of the biker's head. (3 lethal damage for Izzy.)

Fletch's head snaps forward as he screams connecting with what should be Jimmy's missing head. The woman grunts slightly as her nose is shattered from the blow, but she still manages to shoot her head forward and lock her fangs into Fletch's neck. A feeling of strange bliss interrupts Fletch's senses as the effects of the kiss try to take hold, but he feels as if he can fight off the feeling if he tries. (1 aggravated damage for Fletch.)

From inside the house the sounds of something else being broken through can be heard momentarily before the sound of a bloodcurdling scream can be heard followed by complete silence from the farm house.

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

River growls at the woman in her grasp as she hears the assumed monstrosity begin to wake. "Well, you've just given up your last hope, I no longer have the luxury of toying with you." She purrs, then starts tearing into the woman again, making sure the man didn't try to slip past them to finish the job.

(Celerity once again, all 3 attacks to the woman. Healing that lethal as well.)

 

[Sinfulwolf]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Pain laced through her form, but Claire tried her best to fight through it, tried to get her bones to re-align and mend, while she brought her fangs in a deep bite towards the side of the brute's neck, sinking her teeth through skin and muscle, while bringing her knee sharply up towards his groin.

(healing 1 lethal for now)

 

[Rule 34]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Before Fletch's horror-filled eyes, two veins have risen out of Jimmy's neck and struck out, attaching themselves to his neck. With all his might, he tries to break free of the abomination's grasp, tries to get away from that thing that should not be.

 

[Copper]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

It's the first blow that rings her bell enough to knock her down for the second. Shaking her head to clear away the stars, she pushes herself up again, although she's still sitting on the ground. At least she's stable enough for another shot. It might not be phasing him much, but for the time being, it's the best offense she has (outside of cracking him with the gun itself.) She aims lower, not wanting the bullet to go through and hit Raven, and wanting to try and take out this guy's legs at the same time. Small blessing that his attention's likely divided between the two of them, though her own snaps to the door for a second, hearing the scream, but bigger fish to worry about. Much bigger and faster fish.

(Healing one lethal.)

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Eve launches herself at the woman's knees, trying to take her down to the ground. Glaring up at the woman's face she exposes her fangs, drawn her lips back, and lets out a hiss that makes even herself wonder where the hell it came from, all the while using her now free hands to try and tear the woman's kneecaps off.

(Dread Gaze, lol And no kneecaps means no walking. Bitch. XD )

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Claire's fangs again bite deep into the biker's neck as he continues to try and squeeze the life from her. Her attempt at kneeing him in the groin seems feeble as she can't seem to get a decent shot in, though her attempts at healing seem to work a little despite the fact that she still feels more bones snap and break. (Healed 1 lethal, but still took 1 lethal so Claire stays at a total of 3 lethal damage, 6/12 BP's.)

The man seems to be working at the flesh on his face as if trying to fix his slashed eye, growling once it finishes he begins to stalk towards where River and the woman are fighting. The woman turns with a strange mix of fear and excitement on her face as River begins slashing at her with her claws. The woman manages to dodge the first, but the next two slashes tear through her stomach and torso causing a strange squeal of exultation to come from the woman's throat. Even as the sound of another creature can be heard joining it's partner in hurling itself against the walls of the stall. (No damage, 7/14 BP's.)

Eve launches herself at the woman's knees catching her off guard and causing them both to tumble down the hill in a heap together. Though Eve's display of her bestial vampire nature doesn't seem to have any effect on the woman who tosses Eve away from her like a rag doll and starts getting up from the ground a look of annoyance on her face. (Eve takes 1 bashing damage from the tumble for a total of 1 lethal and 1 bashing damage, 8/14 BP's.)

Izzy's shot manages to somehow just barely miss the large biker's knee as he turns his attention to the pesky Raven. Reaching up behind him the biker manages to grab Raven by the neck and hold him up outstretched away from himself. Raven just barely manages to land a somewhat solid blow with his foot to the biker's jaw before he can feel the biker begin to squeeze his throat with one hand. (Izzy now at a total of 2 lethal damage, 11/12 BP's.)

With a tremendous burst of strength Fletch manages to dislodge Jimmy away from and shove him to the ground before him where Jimmy's headless and armless corpse seems to flail briefly before it somehow seems to get up from the ground. Once up it's almost as if it looks in Fletch's eyes, from where it's head should be, before it starts stumbling forward again. (Fletch stays at 1 aggravated damage, 4/12 BP's.)

No more sound seems to come from the house to indicate what's happening with Ronny to the others as they continue to fight each of their own little battles.

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Instinct and rage boiled within Claire as she tried to heal more of her snapping bones, the pain nearly overwhelming her. Her boots kicked against the man's shins and knees. She tore and bit as much as possible at the man's neck.

She needed to get out of this hold, or she was done.

 

[Rule 34]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Fletch slowly catches his breath and gets his mind back in the fight. "I didn't want you dead then, and I don't want you dead now," he growls as he starts running towards Jimmy. "BUT I'M STILL GOING TO KILL YOU!" With this bellow, Fletch jumps, no, pounces at the woman/Jimmy, trying to take her/him to the ground.

 

[Copper]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Not so much of a surprise, given it's her first time with a gun. Given now that the guy's distracted with Raven, though, gives Izzy more of an opportunity and she actually takes a page from Raven and jumps onto his back, attempting to latch her arms around his neck ((legs, too, but if he's that big, I doubt it)) and sink her fangs into any exposed flesh she can reach.

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

River raised an eyebrow at the woman's reaction, but decided not to comment when she spotted the man moving back up the them. So instead, she digs her claws into the woman one more time and hurls the both of them into the man, trying to send all three of them as far from the gate as possible again. then she starts tearing into them again. Chances are whatever is soon to bust through that door is going to be on her as well, she'll have to hurry if she wanted to even the odds.

(Celerity, one to the woman, then one to each if they get tumbled together.)

 

[dmronny]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

The biker struggles to maintain his grip on Claire as she bites and kicks at him in her attempt to get away. He seems to barely manage to continue holding her in the crushing grip of his bear hug as they continue fighting. (4 lethal for Claire)

River manages to latch her claws into and throw both herself and the woman back at the man as he hurries towards them. The trio find themselves entangled together on the floor where River continues slashing at the pair, managing to catch each of them at least once. The woman tries to bite down anywhere she can reach but her fangs don't manage to pierce the flak vest that River is wearing. The man meanwhile begins clubbing with the bone spikes anywhere he can reach. Catching River in the neck with one of the spiked blows. (1 lethal for River)

As Raven struggles in the grip of the huge biker Izzy manages to leap on his shoulders and wrap her arms around his neck. As the biker brings his free arm up to try and get her off she manages to lock her fangs into his bicep causing him to growl in pain. (0 for Izzy)

Fletch easily tackles the woman/Jimmy to the ground, but as they're falling she somehow brings her knee up which causes Fletch to land on it hard with his full weight. (1 aggravated and 1 bashing for Fletch)

 

[Copper]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Given that the other vampire is having trouble reaching her, Izzy uses that to her advantage, trying to keep herself out of his grasp and rending into what she can reach with her fangs once again. She never keeps the bite held for too long, though. The last thing she needed was him wrenching his arm to the point where he'd rip her teeth out. She wasn't entirely certain that could happen, but why tempt fate?

 

[Rule 34]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

Fletch grunts as her knee rams into his guts, the pain momentarily phasing out the visions before they come back with a vengeance. Trying his best to stay on top of Jimmy, Fletch just starts to wail on the twitching, bleeding corpse with his claws, trying his damnedest to rend this horror to pieces. Even more. All the while he is somewhere between howling and sobbing madly. He's not sure, but he thinks he has started to drool.

 

[Shrike7]

A gasp, immediately followed by a low growl, is all that escapes River's throat as the bone spike pierces her neck. that's the second time the Tzimisce has hurt her, and she can feel the beast within her cry for it's blood, but she appeases it with another stab towards the man's face and focuses her attention back on the woman. She's the one that seems more focused on letting loose whatever's in that pen, and from the sounds of it, four on one is not odds that River wants to take.

She spares a glance over to where she last saw Claire fighting. The bruiser still had her pinned, but his shoulder was a mess and she still looked like she was going at it, so she started back on the tangled mess that was the combined bodies of her, the Tzimisce, and the woman.

(Celerity yet again, one claw on the man, two on the woman)

 

[Sinfulwolf]

Re: Chapter 2 - The Calm Before the Storm

With fangs tearing and rending, and feet desperately attempting to cause as much pain to her enemy as possible, feeling his blood course down her throat, fueling her.

Bones inside cracked and splintered, before starting to mend themselves almost immediately. She would see this man dead if it was the last thing she ever did.

(heal 3 lethal)
