Western Fandom Island, Friday night
Apr. 14th, 2006 06:38 pmAfter a trek to the western portion of Fandom Island, Our Heroes reached the entrance to some old sea caverns. There were several tunnels heading off in different directions. Bel was fairly certain which one led to his mother; she was really making no attempt to hide. But there were other demons lying in wait down the side tunnels as well, and they couldn't afford to have them come up behind them.
"Okay," Bel said, trying to be all leader-like. "Group one is Cam, Molly, and Alanna. You take the tunnel on the far left. Group two is Bridge, Isabel, Walter and Camulus. You take the tunnel to the near left. Group three takes the right hand tunnel and is John, Ivanova, Pip and Pippi. Angel, Piper, Paige, and I are going down the middle. We'll meet up back here. Is everyone all set?"
[Locked to those who know who they are.]

Date: 2006-04-15 01:29 am (UTC)Pippi doesn't appear to hear Pip.
"I am a blade of grass." she steps forward trying to pin down the demon's thigh.
"I am not angry." she gives the leg a yank as hard as she can. Both listening for, and dreading, the inevidable wet, slurpy, popping sound.

"Tilt his head back please Pip." she asked quietly.
When he does

It continued to flail. And its neck began to bubble and writhe as its head started regenerating.

Bloodthirsty? No. Repressed? Maybe a bit.

Date: 2006-04-15 02:20 am (UTC)"Couldn't possibly have been that easy could it?" she asked nobody in particular.
Smaller and smaller pieces seemed to be the only recourse.
"I can do this. I've carved a chicken before."
Just like taking a drumstick off.
She took her foot off the thigh and turned with her knee still on the demon's kidney... Or where it would be if demons had kidneys.
She took the thigh with both hands and wrenched it around and back until she heard the same pop of the leg comming free of the socket.

Re: Group Three: John, Ivanova, Pip & Pippi
Date: 2006-04-15 02:39 am (UTC)She panted.
"Damn, I think I ruined my shoes . . ."

Date: 2006-04-15 02:43 am (UTC)In fact, it melted into a puddle of red goo.
That was never going to come out of their clothes.
