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.

[ He hears gunned down before compromised can sink in, and for a second the shock (stupid, naive) is enough to freeze him halfway through sitting up and rubbing his wrists. ]

...Damn it. That's- [ Not surprising so much as disappointing. ]

No, I don't know what they... I mean, I'm assuming if it's not out there in public already they were holding it for leverage. Or-

[ His thoughts are a mess. Hundreds, maybe thousands dead by now because he couldn't hold it together long enough to make it count. He presses his hands to his forehead and tries to sort through the vague pieces of memory he has of that night. ]

What's the plan to get everybody out?
gevurah: (hydrology was the only good arc)

Onyx is taking care of the vampires outside. [ She offers a hand. ] I'll get the others out, but there are plenty of other fighters on their way. Their first inclination might be to storm the place since Stark sent the location. [ Which means any moment this place can become a war zone. ]

We need to move fast. Can you walk?
batmantled: ([dick] they painted up your secrets)

...Onyx? You're saying you brought- [ He takes the offered hand and still has to lean a little against the wall when he's on his feet. It's been at least a day, if he's this weak already. ]

I'm fine. If we work together it won't take long. Listen, I- [... oh right. ]

-I need something to put on.

She was pretty insistent on helping for once. [ And with time against them, she wasn't going to argue or pass up "heavy artillery". Kate moves closer, pulling his arm around her shoulder and hoisting him up. ]

Do you know if they still have your uniform around here?
batmantled: ([batman] you were always so far away)

Explain it to me sometime. [ He lets her drape the arm and even leans on her a little. He just needs a minute, while he catches his breath. ]

Probably not anywhere accessible. But maybe if we improvise... [ He's lucky this version has the cape detached. He reaches for the fabric and tries to pull it apart with his hands, wincing a little because yep that kevlar's not going anywhere. ]

Tell me you brought something sharp.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (???)

[ She motions to the wooden stake attached to her belt. Plus, her gauntlets are sharp enough. ]

Let's get moving. I want to get all the others out as I don't think the others have a coordinated plan of attack. [ Incredibly worrying, as they might end up killing and hurting more civilians and hostages in this situation. ]
batmantled: ([dick] what if i make it right)

[ Welp he takes what he'll just assume is an invitation to pluck the wooden stake out of her belt, then use it to carve a jagged chunk out of the weakest point of the fabric. Kate's words draw a bit of an incredulous stare. ]

Whose plan was that?

[ No time to cut holes for the eyes, so he ties it around his nose and mouth instead. It's not pretty, but it does the job for now. ]

I'll do what I can from this side if you can get to the other prisoners. What's the situation outside?
