ғɪᴠᴇ. [ action; Dead District, Sunday evening ]

WHO: Pretty much all of you! Except Kallie. She sucks.
WHAT: Werewolf Hunting the Movie, starring yours truly.
WHERE: All around the Dead District.
WHEN: Forward dated to Sunday evening.

[ The hour is late. The sky is dark and the stars are out, the only guidance they'll have for this mission—and this was a mission, in Casval Mass' mind. One he intended on carrying out and returning successfully from, despite the difficulties involved.

He sends out the mass text to everyone when the hour draws near with the full details of their rallying point, sitting on the same trunk from his previous post on the network. He's dressed the same as always; in full captain's regalia, boots polished to an almost severe shine, coattails flickering in the gentle evening's breeze. The only sign of nervousness lingers in the occasional twitch of his knuckles. Otherwise, he's primed and ready for the challenges ahead, keeping a lookout for his "forces" as they arrive.

He's got no delusions about what's going down here. The borderline murderous intent is clear in his eyes. Let them come, his sharp gaze reads.

Let them come so I can kill them all. ]


(( And here we go! Operation: Werewolf is now go! Tag at will! Team assignments can be checked here while you are waiting. Please make sure to mark this post with your appropriate character tag as well.

EDIT: The mingling threads will proceed for awhile to give people time to tag in. Keep an eye out for special threads to go up. Until then, you're wolf free... for now. Please do not NPC running into the wolves, or the wolves themselves. At this time of estimation, they'll likely start appearing tomorrow evening at the earliest, but watch this space for updates. ))

Given the amount of gunfire, Lyall isn't entirely sure staying here is very safe, either. He's never been in anything remotely resembling a firefight before, and each deafening shot makes him flinch and press a little further back against the wall. Bakura grabbing his shoulder startles him, eliciting a more violent twitch, but it does force him to make his brain actually function. The boys aren't safe here. Any moment, the not-werewolves could decide to turn on the ones not actively attacking them as a better deal for capture.

"If there are, they'll-- they'll come running to that, to help their pack," he manages, more hopeful than actually certain. But distance makes it at least marginally less likely that they'll be turned on, and maybe moving around a corner can prevent a bullet's accident, so he's happy to take Bakura's suggestion. "Come on-- this way." And while he's not going to run and maybe attract attention, he certainly walks, shoulders hunched in a futile attempt to look less obvious about it. He urges the two boys to come with him along the wall of the nearest building, one hand on each shoulder.

He looks over his own shoulder every other step, trying to keep an eye on whether the not-werewolves notice the more helpless group members' escape. And keep an eye on whether any of that potentially friendly fire is going to wind up coming their way.

[And all of a sudden, there's another new source of gunfire, and Kotetsu's head snaps in that direction. Was it another of their number? Some other ally? A third party aiming to kill both sides?]

Who--

[But he doesn't get to finish that sentence when the injured wolf slams into him, knocking the air out of his lungs as his back hits cement, and he's probably lucky he doesn't crack his skull open right there. The gun slips out of his hand but doesn't discharge, and as soon as he catches his breath, he kicks at the beast's stomach, pulling one knee in and rapidly straightening it, before twisting so he can grab his gun again.

And then all of a sudden there's more gunfire and when he looks, it's Casval, who's....now charging head-on at the wolf who's grabbed Jack's arm. Goddamn, everyone on this thing is crazy. Or has a death wish. He can't tell which.

...Except Lyall and the kids, apparently, except running could be disastrous. Pointedly, he stares away as he shouts:]


No! Don't run! We can't protect you if you leave here!

The alpha's entire body thrashed against Jack, teeth digging into flesh and the taste of blood flowing over her tongue, bright as it fogged into the snarls drawn out of her by each hit of the man's skull against her own. However, her intent was to ravage and throw him off balance rather than spend too much time locked in place, potentially more vulnerable to further retaliation by the second... and not a moment too soon, she abruptly disengaged, shoving him away.

She turned, right as Casval swung his sword; it hit, enough to bruise, perhaps, but not to get all the way through the reinforcement of her vest. All the same, she hadn't heard him and clearly miscalculated, and the fact that it was only existing preparation that saved her from mortally wounded instead of only knocked aside didn't escape her. Furious, she struck at his face with a dully-clawed hand, red-stained teeth bared in a grimace of unfiltered anger.

Meanwhile, the nightmarish scene only grew worse as the downed beast filled the night with howls of pain and scrabbled on the ground, dazed by the gut-kick and the blood still escaping past any instinctive attempts to hold hands to the wounds. The dog engaging Aaron continued dancing backward, drawing him away from the others as well.

And as for the three people intentionally trying to separate themselves--

"Ha..." The fourth 'wolf' on the scene nearly seemed to grin as she straightened from the crouch she'd entered only moments before, immediately grabbing for whoever was nearest with pawlike hands. As it turned out, both choosing to run alone and then being wary even as she was drawn by the sounds of a fight worked out in her favor.

Casval's appearance on the scene registers with Jack, but only as a distraction. Not a threat to him personally, and not interesting to Jack when there are enough more immediate targets at hand.

Jack's not entirely sure how, but it seems perfectly natural to take the force of the shove and turn the first step back into a full-fledged backflip, landing several feet further back from the alpha as she turns on Casval. He's spattered blood across the ground, and it's running down his arm and in between his fingers, still clenched tightly around the knife, But he doesn't care. Adrenaline is running high, and the pain from his arm is sharp, a gratifying reminder of the battle at hand. It's been too long since he really felt this way. And it feels good.

As quickly as he flipped backwards, he charges straight at her again, only turning sharply on his heel to change direction at the last second. Attacking from an unexpected angle, Jack's knife thrusts straight into her side, through the bulletproof vest below her ribs and up into her chest. He can't grapple to hold her in place, but he can continue the turn, kicking out one leg from under her as he rips the long, bloodstained knife free.

"...Fuck!"

Bakura jumped as he was grabbed, instinctively trying to yank his arm free and elbow the face of whatever had grabbed him. The fact that this was something far bigger and far nastier than any mugger could ever be did not at all register on his reflexes. Nor did the fact that he was armed with a pistol. It was all pure adrenalin fueled instinct.

And likely would not go well...

[Wait -- a fourth? But when -- No time for that; it's coming for them and latches onto Bakura's arm.

[Even in the midst of the chaos, Toushirou's movement is instinctive. A twist to get out of the grip on his shoulder, firming his grip on the sword as he easily pulls it free of the sheath.

[And in the next motion, the blade swipes up at the werewolf's forearm. To anyone who knows anything of swordfighting, this is clearly not a strike of blind panic. It's skillfully aimed, intended to cut into flesh and muscle -- and there's no hesitation in the swing.]

Lyall, sadly, is not someone who knows anything of swordfighting. In fact, he knows nothing at all except "pointy end goes that way" and "causes slashing or piercing damage in D&D". So all he sees here and now is Bakura grabbed by a monster that suddenly jumped out of nowhere, and Toushirou hacking potentially wildly with a sword. That's enough to make any teacher who's never seen battle a heart attack.

So he gives a yelp, and both of them get yanked immediately back, aiming to pull them behind him and away from the danger, with the hands on their shoulders. The hands, too, turn into fists in their shirts for better purchase. Whether the slice combined with Bakura's elbow and the yank are enough to break the former police officer's grip remains to be seen.

The beast is luring him away from his companions, that much is obvious. It's faster than him, and stronger than him. His advantage right now is territory.

Aragorn vanishes into a doorway, slipping into an abandoned building. He cannot disguise his smell, but he can move silently and stealthily. He isn't invisible, but he is hard to spot in the dark.

He climbs to the second floor, silent as a shadow, and waits to see if the creature will follow him in.

[No sooner has he gotten the warning out as he hears Bakura cry out, hears Lyall yelp, and as horrifying as the scene unfolding before him is, Kotetsu knows where his priorities have to lie. Jack and Casval can fight; the children and Lyall cannot. Kotetsu scrambles up to his feet, preparing to rush over so that he can get himself between his group and the fourth wolf, but the one at his feet gives him pause. He knows it would be the safest for them to kill it, to take it out while it's down, but when he levels his gun at its head...he can't bring himself to pull the trigger. It makes him feel sick, the thought of killing something that's now helpless.

With a soft, muttered apology, he shoots one of the paws, just to be safe, and dashes in the direction of his young charges.]

Toushirou's strike hit, tearing into half-furred arm and pulling out a squeal of anger and pain in reaction. However, the newest attacker here had her mind focused, set on accomplishing something, and she held fast to Bakura as her hold only hardened, pulling him closer and dragging the boy with her; she was strong, muscles and instincts lingering from work preceding animalesque transformation. Despite her solitary status, her assumptions lied simply, in that there would be more backup if she could drag her prey far enough away.

In a sense, it was the same sort of base strategy the one engaging Aaron had in mind, even as it retraced, lingered on the scent trail left behind by the man. Fury heated his blood, but the orders of the alpha remained with him. These people - at least some of them - were to be left alive and brought back as whole as whatever means were necessary in capturing them would allow... so with this in mind, he followed after, not exactly subtle as his breaths huffed in the dusty air.

-- But then the alpha screamed- if not totally distracting the others, at least grabbing their attention. Stabbed and attacked, hit and bowled over, however, the viciousness displayed by the apparent leader only warped, an abrupt whirlwind of savageness as she snapped wildly at Casval's arms and face and everywhere she could reach, all four clawed limbs tearing at clothing and the weight pushing against her.

Jack had ducked one of Casval's sword strokes; with the two of them so close in on the action, 'friendly fire' is a whole different ballgame. He dances back out of the way of fur and fangs and raging man, turning straight for the next target. Aaron's holding the one off, Kotetsu is at least in pursuit of the one after the kids... but if Kotetsu can't seem to finish the job on the one he shot, Jack will deal with that dirty business. Gladly.

Blood still streaming down his arm from the alpha's jagged bite, Jack doesn't wait to get mauled again, closing the distance quickly and delivering a savage kick to the head of the creature Kotetsu already downed to daze him. Standing over him, one foot on the beast's chest, Jack slices downward, cutting through the kevlar vest like butter, straight through to flesh and organs, twisting the knife in a smooth gut-spilling curve as he finishes the stroke.

Two down, two to go. Heh.

His old hunting instincts have returned. When hunting a creature with a better nose than you, stay downwind. There's a night breeze coming in through the broken half-boarded windows, and Aragorn hides in it. He creeps around the catwalk that runs along the warehouse wall, silent, always keeping downwind, and waits for the wolf-creature to pass below him.

When it does, he leaps down, using both the strength that is his own and the strength lent by gravity to bring the rebar down onto the wolf's head. A sword would have cleaved it in two. A metal bar...well, that's best left to the imagination.

Really, Kotetsu has no idea what the hell he's doing when he charges the creature. If he'd been thinking beyond protect the children, he might have been able to come up with some sort of--maybe not plan, but something slightly less insane than outright tackling the creature. He throws his whole body weight behind it, hoping against hope that the force of the momentum will make it lose its grip on Bakura.
