DRAIN YOU OF YOUR SANITY
WHO: The Emissary and co. versus everybody
WHERE: Off the coast of Battery Park and throughout the City
WHEN: Just before midnight October 31st (technically November 1st)
WARNINGS: Violence and frightening imagery
SUMMARY: Drawn by Illidan’s magic, a demon from beyond reality has come forth to help the Betrayer doom the world. The battle that saves or destroys everything has begun. Happy Halloween, Cityverse!
FORMAT: Paragraph to start, whatever works after.
It came.
The Moon of midnight on All Hallow’s Eve shone wetly on the waters of the City’s Harbour. From beneath the surface a rumbling could be heard, as though emanating far, far below, within abyssal depths and ancient fathoms that could not possibly be there. First there was a ripple, then a wave, then the creature began to arise from the waters. It slid upwards and upwards, rising smoothly and continuously out of the ocean like a living edifice, a vast Thing ancient and immovable, a walking island sunken no longer. The head then the shoulders then the wings then the misshapen body came forth, yet still more of Its bulk remained beneath the waters, with slow thighs beginning to move It towards the City. All around it the sky and the ocean seemed to darken with an almost positive quality, as though jet-black ink was spilling into the universe itself. The Emissary had come.
Water flowed off Its body in torrents, mixing with drool and ichor. An unending series of sickly slopping and slobbering noises came from the twitching forest of tentacles around Its mouth, the product of a ravening hunger. The ocean heaved immensely around the Titan form, waves thrashing from the power of Its body. How to describe such a thing? How to even conceive of such horror, outside of madness or nightmare? That immense octopus head crowning the terrible body, those dragon-bat wings sprouting from Its back, those rubbery, sea-green scales, the mingled and loathsome aspects of the reptile, the mollusc- and the human! For it was on two feet that It moved, and with two arms did the Emissary reach out toward the morsels It slavered for.
An aura of panic and despair announced It, greater than any herald’s trumpet. Merely to look upon that incomprehensible shape and its alien geometry was to gamble with one’s sanity. Its very presence emanated a sense of immeasurable insignificance and absence of meaning, as though all the Earth was plankton in the presence of a whale. It moved with a shambling, unwholesome motion that had nothing to do with clumsiness, gathering speed. A mountain walked or stumbled! Toward the City, toward the Well. Toward the end of the world.
[ooc: goddamndoomchat is open on AIM if anyone's interested! There are some people fighting the Emissary who have not been slotted into threads yet; we will work those out as we go along! The raid against Illidan in Central Park will be posted by Jill later. Have fun everybody!]

Now she's running down the street, every so often turning around and firing a spell from her wand. She's not running away! No. She's just luring it away. Where exactly she's luring it away to, she doesn't know.
All of a sudden it roars before picking up a car and flinging it forward.
Incoming! ]
no subject
So without hesitation he drops his gun (a mistake he might regret later, but doesn't have time to worry about now) before diving sideways to try and grab her, hoping he can snag her and that the momentum of his lunge will carry them both out of the way of the flying, metal death trap. ]
no subject
She sees Jensen too late, too late to avoid him. Tonks doesn't want the automobile to hit him either so she does the next best thing. She apparates them both out of the way. Specifically, she apparates them several yards away and on top of a three-story building.
Brace yourself Jensen, it's going to be a bumpy ride! ]
no subject
He's a tough guy, so he's not about to lose his lunch over this, but when they come to a stop at the top of the build he jumps up and stumbles back a few steps, takes a minute at his surroundings, then at Tonks, then at his surroundings again. ]
Well shit.
no subject
[ Tonks looks up at him. She's a bit bent over and trying to catch her breath. Give her a minute, it's her first breather. It hadn't been the smoothest apparition ever but Tonks doesn't feel as though she's splinched herself. ]
You don't feel as though you're missing any body parts do you?
no subject
[ Not that she exactly had time for that, but details. And at that question he's going to be nervously looking himself over. He's not sure why she's asking, but he doesn't really like that line of questioning. ]
Not that I can tell... why? What is that supposed to mean?
no subject
[ Tonks looks him over. He doesn't seem to be missing anything. ]
Sometimes Apparition can go a bit wrong. It's not supposed to but sometimes parts can get left behind.
no subject
How vital are these parts?
no subject
[ Yeah, Tonks, like he knows.
As she finally feels as though she's caught her breath, Tonks steps over to the edge of the roof. She looks towards the spawn. Yeah, it's still there. ]
Well, what d'you want to do about that thing?
no subject
[ Looking back down at the monsters running amuck. ]
Right now? Not much I can do, unless you can teleport my assault rifle up here too.
no subject
[ Well, she can try! ]
Where did you leave it? Oh, by the way, I'm Tonks.
no subject
[ Squinting down on the street, trying to find it, but glances over his shoulder at her introduction. ]
Jensen. If we manage to get through this alive, I'll say it's officially nice to meet you.
no subject
[ Tonks leans over the edge of the building. She follows Jensen's gaze as she slides out her wand. The object is known, she knows vaguely where it is. It's not her personal item and she's never seen it before so she hopes for the best.
It should work. ]
Accio (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luixbzzd961qbj52ro1_500.jpg) Jensen's gun!
no subject
[ Still watching his gun, raising his eyebrow when he starts lifting up off the ground slowly before it starts hurtling towards them. ]
Woah!
[ Ducking down by the wall, no offense to Tonk's aim here, but he isn't sure he trusts her that much. ]
no subject
Well... That's sorted at least.
no subject
Oh thank god.
[ Going over to pick it up. ]
