Shopping Disaster.

[ziohazard]

This was the first time Cielo had been brave enough to stray far away from Redfield Apartments by himself. He'd left Naomi and the Tribble Trio in Sera's care, packed up his side bags with candy for the journey, and headed out

Dyaus didn't need to see Fred to know that he was there. He could smell the boy, and he could feel the utter terror coming from him.

The blue monster hissed threateningly and jerked its head, flicking the spear thing in front of his face to attack with. Fred would be a human shiskhabob if he wasn't careful!

[ziohazard]

There was visible strain in the creature's face as it pulled itself forward, headed in Fred's direction. It dug its claws into the floor to continue crawling forward, leaving a trail of blood and glass in its wake.

Once again, it snarled, seeming to have pegged Fred as an easy meal.

*Victoria had been making her normal sweep through the area when she heard, and more importantly, heard Dyaus' shriek. From a roof to a fire escape to a window to the stairs to another side and into the room skids Vic, barbeque fork drawn.*

Identify yourself, or face the consequen- *Vic pauses, looking at the beast. Looked like an Atma, after all.*

Cielo?

[ziohazard]

The creature turned its eyeless face to Victoria, upon hearing the name 'Cielo.'

"HUMAN... NOT..." Dyaus spoke in a savage, deep voice that was tinged with pain. "NOT FEED ME. HUMAN SEE PAST LIFE, I FEED SELF." He then snapped his razor-sharp teeth at the fork-weilding woman, almost tempting her. He was no match for something as pathetic as a fork, or so the demon thought.

*Gale approaches the door to the apartment and stops. He gets a familiar feeling of foreboding. Junkyard instinct? Some deeper sense of circumstances lent by the Atma? It's potent whatever it is. Enough to make Gale tense and draw his concealed hunting knife before reaching for the knob. He finds the door suspiciously unlocked, and pushes it part-way open, scanning the apartment before stepping completely inside, back to the wall, blade brandished.*

*He notices Vic, Fred, and immediately, Dyaus' much larger form. And the blood. And that's when the adrenaline properly hits.*

Cielo!

*He rushes forward, and stops short, recognizing that Cielo isn't exactly himself.*

Victoria, Fred, keep clear.

[victoria_sage]

*Hey, this thing's one of those big, two-pronged armstabbers. :(*

*Vic somehow manages to frown in the demon's direction, despite having no face. She hears his words about a past life, as well, but keeps it for later.* Do not force me to subdue you. Revert, and we can properly see to you being properly fed.

I repeat, revert to Cielo, or suffer the consequences.

And Claire comes upstairs late, holding two 9mm pistols, with her grenade launcher slung at her back.

She comes out of the elevator with one of the pistols held up and level.

[gale_force]

*Gale decides that this is probably a good time for a little diplomacy. He tries to block her from stepping too far into the apartment.*

Everything is under control now, Claire. There is no need for firearms.

*He wonders just what she was planning to do with that grenade launcher.*

[finalgirl]

Launch grenades. GOSH.

Claire puts the safety on. "What the hell happened? It sounded like a war zone up here."

[ziohazard]

Cielo looks immediately worried as Claire busts in on the scene. He shrinks back- wincing as he does so.

"I-I umm... was hungry, ja? I'msorrysistareallyIcouldn'thelpit!"

And once all of the commotion dies down, the lock on one of the bedroom doors clicks, and the door itself swings open. One cat, three tribbles, and Sera stream out of it, with Naomi running ahead of Sera and the cyber shaman having the fuzz balls resting on her shoulders and head.
She doesn't like what she sees, and steps over to where Cielo is curled up.

"Cielo? Are you- Is he...going to be okay?" She asks both the young Embryon and the woman tending to him. She's handling the fact that the caretaker has no face surprisingly well.

[ziohazard]

"S-Sera!" Cielo exclaimed when she came in, sitting up. He winced and immediately laid down, but waved his arm around to get her attention.

"I'm okay, Sera! I tink... my head be hurtin' lots. Are you okay, sista?" He asked, concerned that she may have been in the crossfire down in city streets or up in the apartment.
