This is the end, but still your need is driven on

WHO: The Major, the Doctor, and their game pieces. I.e. EVERYONE.
WHERE: Throughout the City.
WHEN: The nights of Friday the 6th to Sunday the 8th.
WARNINGS: Violence and death galore.
SUMMARY: The Major and Doctor Einsturzen go to war for fun, and drag the entire City along for the ride.
FORMAT: Whatever works!

Nightfall was marked by fire. The subway station at East 42nd Street and Park Avenue rocked as a series of explosives ripped through the tunnels, setting everything ablaze, lighting up the evening and filling it with the terrified screams of civilians. That was the first. It was starting.

Across the City, there was movement from the underground. Vampires in trenchcoats and gas masks emerged onto the streets, bloodthirsty and vicious. Hounds the size of bears or larger, barely recognizable as what they once were, prowled from the alleys, saliva dripping from their jowls. Children in canine masks darted across the rooftops. All the while, more explosions tore across the City subway systems, as if keeping time for the two monstrous armies marching towards each other.

Anything that stood between them would be consumed-- natives, ImPorts, businesses, homes. Nothing was safe. This war would be winner take all, a prize of bloodshed and destruction to the psychopath left standing. The nights to follow would be long and full of terrors.
caprihorn: (Slow and painful right?)

Open; Lots of murder

Blood, he's covered in it from head to toe, it's in his hair and teeth, and it's been there since about half an hour after he'd learned Karkat was taken hostage. It's to the point where someone can figure out where Gamzee's been just because of the footprints he's leaving behind. Where he's going is a little harder to guess though, as he's certainly targeting only Angelica's fighters if he can help it, but he's picking victims at random and his flash stepping allows him to pop in and out of the area so quickly that most people watching him can only catch him swinging a massive hammer down for a few seconds before he's gone again.

Unfortunately, with the speed he's carrying himself with sometimes more than his intended targets are getting caught in his swings. And the only way to know he's coming beforehand is the occasional sound of a honk.

The few times he pauses it's to build traps or reset them. These devices are even worse than himself in their discriminating between who needs to be killed and who's allowed to live.

Crane didn't particularly care about anyone involved in the chaos (at least anyone who couldn't take care of themselves properly) but the symphony of screams and suffering drew him like the crows to carrion, and after a long few minutes of observing from a rooftop, suffused with a golden glow, he determined the cause of the most fear in the area and stepped down--closer, drinking in that blissful emotion.

"Gamzee."

Oh, he was grateful enough to thank him for the show.
caprihorn: (Just a little blood)

Paused at just the right time, there to reset a contraption nearby made to thrust as many arrows as possible into flesh, he caught the sound of his name.

"Bro, the motherfucker brings you near my shit?"

And he kept an ear tilted toward Crane as he moved amongst his device. A few things here and there getting restocked and rope being being fixed into place was nothing enough to keep him distracted from any conversation. Even the screams wouldn't be enough to take his attention away here.
phobic: (§ fixes and misses you spoiled the stash)

"I can feel it." He stepped closer, not nearer the trap, keeping a healthy respect for un-perforated flesh even at the height of his pleasure.

"Their terror of you. It's glorious. I --" Jonathan drew in air through his teeth, stepping over a corpse, "...You seem to be picking your targets. Is there a reason for that?"

It was like watching an intellectual get slowly more tipsy, try to bring the logic in without quite a grasp on it.
caprihorn: (The fuck did you say)

A normal person would have been concerned about Jon's behavior. A normal person would pick up that something might be very creepy or wrong with Jon. Gamzee just responded casually as he calmly worked on his trap.

"Yeah, been killing them motherfuckers on the doctor's side. Other side's got to having my moirail. And I can't lose himself."

At least it's calm until the last part is filled with Gamzee's rage and fear.
phobic: (§ seething smiles fall about the place)

"Oh, I see..." His tone was gentled, considering, turning as he did to shred a would-be attacker with shards of yellow hard light, as pleased by Gamzee's fear as he was by the fear of Gamzee's victims. As pleased as he would be by his own.

"Are you planning on saving him, then."
caprihorn: (Have a funny joke for you)

[personal profile] caprihorn 2012-07-12 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wouldn't be any kind of worthy motherfucker of him if I didn't go after him."

The trap clicked and Gamzee moved around it, letting someone charge at him and it. As soon as they were within range it went off and came to resemble a red pincushion in seconds. Gamzee just honked a bit at the lifeless figure.
phobic: (§ and you're on your own)

"And obviously you don't need help," He intoned, "But I would like to follow you for a time and observe, if you don't mind terribly."
caprihorn: (And it's hard to tell if it's smug)

[personal profile] caprihorn 2012-08-09 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't mind at all, brother. Can follow myself anywhere you want here."

And without another word he leaped back into the crowd and began swinging his hammer around again.
