TFW PRELUDE: SOOTOPOLIS SCENARIO B-2
POSTED ON Jul 29, 2024 23:27:41 GMT
Damo could feel her energy returning to her the moment the Giga Drain hit, yet, as welcome as the reinforcements of the Noctowl were, grew even more agitated to have another intrude upon her domain. It snarled, rearing itself, only to be blocked by a forceful Shadow Hold keeping it tied in place. Struggle as it might, the shadows did not bend to her will and only made her watch as her prey made a getaway. A hiss of anger echoed against the metal walls as the Noctowl stayed and hooted at her its given message. The viper's fangs flashed as the Noctowl finally relinquished to give chase to its foe, leaving Damo be.
In the lower sections, Mercury stalks onward silently within the ship's shadows, urged on by an unsatiable need to find that which is hidden. She has no idea what is taking place, burst after burst of poison being injected into her bloodstream. And with each shot she gets a little more loose, a little less morally inclined. Her hunt even becomes a mindless wandering.
Until she comes across a first trace of violence.
It's small, easily missed if she hadn't slowed down to an almost glacial pace, but it's there. A smear of blood on the wall at waist-height, and the faintest trickling of blood silently puddling from underneath a closet door. She does not need to open the door to know what she will find, the metallic scent of blood permeating the air.
Her fingers run across the smear, only to drag traces through it, and she cannot help but smile. A fresh kill. So the culprit should be close. Ice-blue eyes flicker within the darkness of her hood, almost dancing as she continues. Had anyone seen the jump in her step they would've probably questioned her motives as well.
But she knows. The little voice in her head knows; she isn't losing it. The intruder is. No traces to be found aside from the disturbance above, and yet now they start popping up? Subtly so. A small dent. A smear here. Like they have to move fast before they get caught. Whomever it is, they're getting sloppy.
And that is to her advantage.
Is it the poison's influence that's making her brazen, or is it the presence of Cillian Quinn , who's dark miasma now lingers around the ship's hull? For Damo it is the latter, who stills in the Shadow Hold as the miasma creeps on board.
When it nears her she inhales deeply, feeling the shadowy tendrils spurn around her body and seep into her skin. Taut veins pop up across the dark viper's body as it snarls, feeling its new-found power coursing through her veins. This time when she stirs, the Shadow Hold breaks, and the beast roars triumphantly, striking at its surroundings with flashing red eyes before it slithers off after the prey that got away.
Whereas one only targets on killing its prey, the other sees fit to toy with it.
"Itsy bitsy spider..."
Mercury knows they are near. Not bothering to remain silent she begins her little warning sign to the rhythm of her footsteps. The timbre of her voice clear and searching, meant to alert anyone who heard it to her imminent arrival.
"Crawled up the water spout..."
In the distance Mercury hears the telltale beep of a series of high-security locks opening. A wicked smile creeps upon her lips as she rears her head, continuing onward, her footsteps echoing like a warning to the intruding paxton concordas . He has time left, and her footsteps reveal she does not bother speeding up.
"Down came the rain,"
Her voice echoes out to him. Another boost of poison shoots into her veins, followed by a deep inhalation trembling with pleasure and relief.
"And washed the spider-"
She continues her little rhyme, slow and sing-songy as she finally turns the corner.
"Out."
Tldr; - Outfit || paxton concordas - Damo remains stuck in Streenstrup's Shadow Hold, Noctowl gives chase - Calliope finds traces of Paxton's handiwork, becomes oddly happy about the carnage - Calliope turns a little more unhinged, sings nursery rhyme to toy with Paxton's mind - Cillian Quinn proximity empowers Damo, allowing her to break free
