CB's Grim Frequencies IC -- COMPLETE

In the kitchen, the baking soda has been ripped apart and sprayed everywhere. Fine white powder coats the countertop and floor. The box--torn in half--lay discarded under the table. Feral can scoop up some with his hands, maybe.

T-dawg helps Marks pin down Esmeralda, who appears to be mid-seizure if the white spittle frothing at her mouth is anything to go by. "Get her on her side!" Marks barked, fear in his eyes.

Otter pushed the tip of the chef's knife into the thrall's ocellus. The knife--poor quality, where was a Wusthof or a Sabatier when you needed one?--had a blunt edge that made prying through the tough outer skin difficult. The skin was, indeed, damnably thick and tough. She got the end of the knife through the body by pressing down with steady pressure. Slicing, however, would be another matter entirely. Hadn't Marks stitched up T-dawg two days ago? As Otter worked, the thrall's ligula reflexively curled in on itself, and one suckered tentacle twitched.



Emergency vehicle sirens sounded in the distance, probably from somewhere out on East Washington Street.

Feral scooped what he could in to the bottom half of the box and brought it to Marks.

Feral started mumbling, "I want to go back. I want to go back to prison. I want go back to where things made sense."
 


"Dude," Otter said in a fascinated outrush of air. "This thing is bad ass."

In the back of her head, she felt a little lurch.

"But... Okay. Hold on."

The knife went onto the floor, and Death Otter stood up and paced away to the bathroom door to stare out.

"So there's nothing like this, all right? Nothing. In recorded history. So either no one's ever seen one and lived, or people who've seen one and lived have never gone public with it with any evidence. The body's not...I don't know, turning to dust or something...so if one's ever died before, we've never found it."

She glances at J.R. "Or...OR...NOPE! Sirens! Okay! You stay here and don't let anyone touch this thing! I'm gonna go make sure Marks doesn't eff this up for us!"

And then she was off like a shot, running back up the hall into the kitchen where Marks and the others were trying to save the girl's life.

"You can't tell them about it!" she declares.
 

Feral stood up and glared at Otter, "You. Are. Crazy! Frickin' Lovecraft monsters come crawling out of the sewers and you want to keep it? No! Burn it! Burn the whole place down!"

Feral grabs Otter by the shoulders, his eyes wild, "BURN IT ALL DOWN!!"
 

"That thing is a god damned alien." Cyril announced, finally breaking fee of his shocked state and starting to think rationally, at least as rationally as he ever thought. "We've got to call in the Army. This is way beyond the f(*&^%n' FCC. What are they gonna do, fine them for saying bad words in whatever language they speak?"

Hearing the sirens, he added, "You think that's for us?"

OOC: I know y'all bought a gaming system. Did y'all buy a giant surround sound system to go with it? I'm trying to be crafty.
 


"Dude," Otter said flatly to Feral. "Mitts. Off. Jeez. Is everyone in here immune to zombies but ME? THINK!"

She looked around. "YES, Cyril, it's a one-eleven shots fired! That's us! And Feral, this isn't about me wanting to KEEP IT. Either one of these has never died before, or every TIME it's died before, everyone who might have said something DIDN'T. I'll let you do the math on that, but in the MEANTIME lets agree on a story that DOES NOT involve a refugee from a porn cartoon!"
 

OOC: Haha I see what you're trying to do, blame it on the TV. Could always grab a hammer and nails, so we were getting an early start...


J.R. shifts uneasily,

"Yo, if the cops come snoopin abaht in here what we sayin abaht da killer sea food?"
 

OOC: Super loud surround sound system with Call of Duty 5 or whatever could potentially give an explanation for the gunshots. We've got all kinds of tarps and stuff, we can probably close off the bathroom with a tarp and stuff and say it's in mid-remodel...


Cyril blatantly ignored Otter's brand of bat$&*^ crazy and asked Marks, "You're the boss. What are we doing?"
