[d20 Cthulhu] What Rough Beast... (Part I)

Sam will smile warmly and squeeze Julia's hand lightly, giving her a moment to think. He will then ask in a gentle voice "Ah I am sure they would not hurt you Julia, but... who are they? Who are you trying to protect? Maybe I can help them in some way or another. You know that I would do anything for you and Alan, maybe I can help them? But you have to trust me to help."

Bees, why did it have to be bees???

“Hey what in the hell is going on here? OUCH! These things are starting to sting”

Randy will try and ignore the stings for a second and drop something in the drawer a stapler or something handy, so see if it is just an illusion or what. Randy will then continue to try and close the drawer for another second, if it remains jammed he ( I ) have a flash of insight and will put his hand on the symbol and try and turn it right side up.

After this he will back away from the drawer and slap at one of the stings trying to kill some of the bees, and then try to pull out any stingers.

“Ok everyone lets get out of this room for a second until we can decide what to do.” Randy will usher everyone out of the room and close the door. “Doctor can you please remove the stingers from by back?” Randy will remove his jacket and shirt so Dr. Silver can access the stingers, but Randy will take a firm hold on his weapon.

“Has anyone else ever seen bugs like that before? We seem to be running into a lot of bugs today. First Mr. Alister’s cockroaches and now bees.”

OOC: you know in real life I had a phobia of bees for years

OOC: I know, I've done research on all of you.

The influx of the bee-creatures begins to slow to a trickle, but their rhythmic dronic begins to get louder. THe ceiling is covered with these things, and a few begin to buzz around the room. All of you see some of these bees clinging to Randy, but he seems unmindful of them. Instead, you see him grab a stapler and drop it into a desk drawer (which you cannot see the contents of at this time).

Randy, you see the stapler fall into the 'hole' - and then you watch as it reverses direction and falls 'down' into the red sand, sending up a small cloud of the stuff. As you watch this, unsure of what this means, you begin to feel a... burning... under your skin. As if your flesh is heating up in some way. You swat at the bees, and then you think of one word: poison.

Alex looks up, just before Randy opens the drawer. "You know, now that I think about it, that symbol does seem familiar... I remember now! I painted that a while ago - Holy :):):):), bees!" He scrambles to his feet and quickly backs out the door, eyes boggling.
 

Randy stands mute for a second after dropping the stapler into the drawer, then franticly tries to close the drawer, using the above methods then quickly exits the room.

“Everyone out quickly, these bees have some kind of poison, I can feel my skin getting hot.”

"@#$%!!!!"

*At the sight of the spewing bees, Ray dives for the door and gets down the hall, after gazing aghast at Randy who stops to throw a stapler at a fountain of bees:eek: *

"EVERYBODY OUT, OUT, OUT!!!"

*If they're not already out, that is. I'm guessing someone will shut the door.*

“Doctor can you please remove the stingers from by back?” Randy says, removing his jacket and shirt.

“Everyone out quickly, these bees have some kind of poison, I can feel my skin getting hot,” Randy says after a minute.

*Immediatly Ray turns very businesslike*

"Bees do tend to have poison, do you know if you are allergic?"

*While saying this he'll give Randy a quick once over for signs of a bad reaction, swelling, discoloration, etc*

[Heal +8, or Knowledge (medicine) +7]

"I have to get some tools to get the stingers out. They're in my car, I'll be back in a flash. Go to the kitchen and wait for me, ok?"

*In saying this, Ray will give a little head-dink to the others in a "follow him" gesture*

[Innuendo +1?]

*He then proceeds to haul it toward his car for his medical kit*

OOC: Catching up Sam... Waiting for Karl.

Oblivious to the events in the study, Sam delicately begins to question Julia. "Ahh I am sure they would not hurt you Julia, but... who are they? Who are you trying to protect? Maybe I can help them in some way or another. You know that I would do anything for you and Alan, maybe I can help them? But you have to trust me to help."

Julia looks up at Sam and nods slowly. "It's harmless, I suppose. It's a long story, Sam. But to simplify, it's some former students of Alan's. They called themselves, 'The i Society'. Little 'i'. As in imaginary numbers, I'm sure you remember those from your math class. This was about--" Suddenly, Sam and Julia begin to hear screams from the study, down the hall.

"EVERYBODY OUT, OUT, OUT!!!" It sounds like Dr. Silver.

Alex runs out of the study towards Sam and Julia, eyes wide and looking a bit panicked. "Evil bees! A swarm of demon bees! Run, run!!" He opens the door and heads outside, holding it open for them to follow and urging them to join him.
 

Sam will listen to Julia, thinking what this kids might be up to, when they hear the screaming and then Alex screaming about evil bees... what in the hell is he talking about? Killer bees? Sam thinks, but he will grab Julia by the arm and get her out of the house as quick as possible.
"Do either of you have a cell phone? We had better call the police if there are dangerous bees around, and we can get animal control here to take care of them..."
 

Alex, Kristof, and Dr. Silver flee from the study. Randy, well aware of the bees biting him, nonetheless rears back and delivers a powerful kick to the drawer. Something on the inside makes a snapping sound, and the drawer slams closed. There is a brief flash of light coming from the front of the drawer as you do this, but you could have imagined it.

Without hesitation, Randy runs out of the room, leaving behind a swarming mass of the bee creatures. Kristof and Dr. Silver, beckoning Randy with looks of horror on their face, close the door just as he exits. Inside, the sound of the bees, while muffled, seems to be getting louder.

Randy, just as you were about to flee from the room, you couldn't help but notice the bee-creatures that were on you. Some seemed to be leaving your body, flying upwards towards the main group - but carrying something - their small wings beating furiously against their warped bodies. With revulsion, you realize that they are carrying tiny chunks of you, pale and fleshy, about the size of a quarter. Once outside, you collapse in the hallway outside of the study and peel back the sleeve of your dress shirt (itself covered in holes). There, on your arm - lumps of flesh removed almost bloodlessly. Your skin feels hot and slightly feverish - but other than that you feel no pain.

Alex runs down the hallway, towards the garage. There he sees Sam and Julia, shock and concern on their faces.

"Evil bees! A swarm of demon bees! Run, run!!" Alex shouts, and runs to open the garage door that leads to the outside. Sam grabs Julia by the arm and takes her outside, taking cover from the rain under an awning. Alex joins them.

Back in the hallway, Dr. Silver begins to give Randy a brief examination - the closed door should keep the bees out for right now. Of greater concern is Randy, who appears to almost be going into shock.

Dr. Silver, you assist Randy in removing his jacket, shirt, and gun holster. You notice that the jacket and shirt have holes in them - with blackened edges. On Randy himself you count about 12-16 patches of flesh removed, ranging from the size of a pencil eraser to a quarter. Oddly enough, the wounds bleed very little - you instantly realize the bees must have some type of coagulant in their spittle - in addition to some powerful local anesthetic. What are those things? You need your medical kit to take care of Randy, but it's out in your car. But at the same time, you don't necessarily want to leave Randy here.

Randy, you are wounded and hurt - but you know you'll survive (barring any further compications). You feel slightly dizzy and weak, however.
