hide and seek

[realitymods]

[A fair amount of time after Wolf's transmission, the lights go out, stars and all. When they snap back on a minute later, anyone currently on the Plane will end up at the gates of a run-down, darkened city that looks a bit like old Tokyo, except with the same Plane sky overhead. There are bent and beat-up posters plastered all over, with illustrations of some horrible monsters and a riddle.]

To win hide and seek,
hide from darkness and seek the light.

[The monsters aren't out yet, and there are no residents to be found except the Plane's captives, but there is an eerie, empty feeling about the place.

On closer inspection, this 'sanctuary' is really a dead end. The buildings surrounding it are high with boarded windows, and the alleyways are quick dead ends.

Also, no one has powers anymore. Sorry!]

[ooc: plot start! There will be a post for prisoners going up in a couple of days.

Threadhopping/threadjacking is much encouraged. Don't worry about order, as I will be jumping in occasionally to screw everything up :D]

[There's a horrible screeching of metal on concrete as the snake hits its brakes, so to speak. But there isn't much to be done for the laws of physics. It slams into a nearby arch, and that's when it gets caught in the explosion. The entire tunnel fills with smoke and debris, and the resulting shockwave is enough to knock a grown man off his feet and then some.

When the dust clears a bit, the snake seems to have stopped moving. It's laying across the tunnel, the lights along its scales flickering, its jaw wide open.

And then... and then it starts to pull itself upright, one eye hanging out of a robotic socket, the other still fixated on North's location. It rises to its full height, taking advantage of part of the ceiling that's caved in, and leans forward to snap at the gun-toting agent.]

[Well, damn. At least he knows he made a dent. He lunges backwards down the street, shooting at the remaining eye. If it's going to go after them he's going to make it a confusing hunt.]

[North has all he can do to dodge the debris. It's a damn good thing he has his suit on, too. He can hear bits and pieces ping and fly off his armor, but a good-sized chunk surprises him and smacks his helmet just hard enough that it makes him sees stars, knocking out one of his helmet lights. It's long enough that he's only able to bring his SMG back up and fire the rest of the clip he's got when the snake snaps him up.]

[Bam. That's it. The snake eats North in one gulp, and then... surprisingly, it tries to bury itself back in the tunnel, sufficiently satisfied for now.

It might be Oh Kay.]
