It was bound to happen. The Null warned you, after all, and this has been building for awhile - and now it's here. First comes the initial attack, the agents of the Null attacking Hope's temple. Then, an SOS, warning the city of what's happened: a betrayal, and Hope being injured. Luckily for everyone, thanks to the actions of his guards Hope survives the attack. Unluckily, his attacker, the goddess Delight, escapes and lets the Null in.
Flooding into the cave, the Null will attack anyone who they believe is resisting them. They'll destroy buildings and deploy dangerous crowd control weapons, in addition to their sheer strength and speed. Confusion empties the monsters in the tunnels into the city, to help distract the Null. Some gods fight, others provide safe havens, but everyone is in danger.
After about a week and a half of the attack, Fear summons enough power to teleport the city. This stops any new Null from arriving through the tunnels, but the remaining Null must be hunted down and destroyed, or else they'll signal their location to the rest of their species. The danger will lessen as Null are taken out, but things won't really be safe until Fear moves the city again, so don't get too comfortable.
What will you do? Run and hide? Fight? Help the fighters? Turn on the gods yourself? Whatever you do, it's time to make a decision.► This log covers November 25th-December 12th.

Is that a thing? I thought that was bat fangs. [Or something. Hell if he knows.]
But yeah, alright, orchard it is.
[And he'll head in the direction of the exit, expecting Rosie to follow.]
no subject
[ It's not. At all.
Either way, they're on the move now. She knows the route well enough; it's one she travels almost every day. The silence that settles in isn't necessarily tense, but- She doesn't like it. Rose doesn't like a lot of things happening right now though. It all feels too reminiscent of some of the worst experiments Haven had to offer. ]
Sure you wanna' do this?
no subject
Um, yeah. Of course. I mean, if I can help, I probably should, right?
[He realizes he could just be helping with the clinic, but that's not nearly as effective a use of his abilities. Well, his circumstances, really. His only "ability" here is saying yes and letting the monster do its thing.
And anyway, it makes him feel a little less guilty about the murder thing. Saving lives doesn't negate taking them, but it's something.]
no subject
Whatever helps him sleep at night. And maybe it actually does. It doesn't help Rose. Not anymore. But she does good where can even if she stopped hoping that she'll ever actually atone. ]
Alright, dude, if you're sure. Gotta' admit, I'm a little curious too about this other dude. [ ... Creature. Thing. ]
no subject
... So yeah, this kind of qualifies.]
This other dude? [That gets a small laugh.] I don't think anyone's ever called it a "dude" before. Not that it'll mind.
[He's called it a lot of very colorful things before and none seemed to have any particular effect. Suddenly, something occurs to him.]
The place you're from had a lot of monsters, right? So you're probably used to that kind of thing.
no subject
The Makai? Yeah. Literal world of monsters. There's a reason it's called 'Hell' and we're called 'demons.' Not a super friendly place. But I'm definitely used to monsters trying to claw my face off on the regular.
Not saying that the other dude will, just- I'm ready for it. And nothing you do will probably surprise me.
no subject
[People looking at him in fear is like, his least favorite thing. Okay, not even close to least favorite, but it's up there, damn it. He's worried he'll start to see more of it once this whole Null thing is over. So knowing at least a few people won't do that, it's nice.]
And no, it won't try to claw your face off unless it thinks you're trying to hurt me.
no subject
[ Especially considering she grew so used to the opposite. To people wanting to kill her just because of what she was, not who she was. ]
Won't have to worry about that with me. I usually only attack in self-defense. And the Null take priority there because of them fucking everything up.
no subject
[And he's gotten a surprising amount of that support here. Maybe it's because most of the others are outliers, too. Lots of weird shit goin on here, to the point where he's not sure anything can surprise him anymore.]
Sounds like we'll be good, then.
[A nice thing to have figured out, since they're practically right up on the orchard.]
no subject
Fuck The Null for trying to take it from her. Trying to take everything from her. ]
So, do you like go through a magical girl transformation or what?
no subject
I wish. I don't actually know what it looks like, but- not that. [Probably.]
I don't turn into it, we just can't be... active? At the same time. So I'm actually going to, uh. Pass out for a while.
[Excuse him while he finds a nice, defensible tree against which to do so.]
no subject
So, like. You shut down and it boots up. That's an interesting kind of deal.
[ For all that she doesn't know about the technologies,
it seemed like the closest comparison to make. ]
But alright. I promise not to draw funny stuff on you while you're asleep.
no subject
[Michael gives her a faux-suspicious look.]
Right, I better not find a sharpie dick on my forehead.
[And... well, he guesses this tree is as good as any. Not like he has much time to decide, since there seems to be a battalion of Null headed into the orchard. He backs up to the tree and just sort of slides down into a sitting position. And because in case he dies, he doesn't want his last words to be "sharpie dick", he glances up at Rose again.]
You ready?
no subject
Please. I'm not that predictable. It'd be a very detailed labia.
[ Her head turns to the sound of The Null's mechanical footsteps. Creepy fuckers. She hadn't dealt with a lot of robots back home, but if this is what they're like... ]
Ready as I'll ever be.
no subject
[Ah yes, because those are much better last words. Whatever.]
Here we go, I guess.
[He can already feel the Visitor chomping at the bit, now that its targets are in sight. It paces behind the bars of its metaphorical cage. All Michel has to do now is open the door and step back. And so he does.
He slumps forward, and less than a second later, the first skeletal hand reaches out of the air around him. A second one joins it, and together they dig their talons into the ground, leaving furrows, dragging forth first the skull, and then the rest of the creature. As the bones emerge, something gathers around them, particles of smoke or ash, something feathery, dark, and translucent. Once fully formed, the Visitor turns to glance at Rose with the blue lights that serve as its eyes. Finding nothing particularly threatening there, it turns instead toward the approaching Null and howls in its broken voice.]
no subject
metal as fuck, to be perfectly honest. It's not quite what she was expecting but certainly not anything she'll soon forget. A chill runs down her spine at those icy eyes that stare her down. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to perceive her as a threat. Instead, it directs its attention the ever approaching mechanical abominations. So does Rose.
The woman bares her own fangs, fur on her tail and ears bristling in tandem with what she hopes is an intimidating snarl. The Null don't seem too intimidated but she doubts anything would really rattle them. They don't feel fear, do they? They don't feel anything. That's the point.
Well, she hopes they can at least register pain. Because they're about to. In a blink, she's rushing the nearest one and not waiting - but hoping - for The Visitor to follow. ]
no subject
It isn't quite as supernaturally fast as Rose, but it moves with a surprising speed for something so large. The long hind legs make its gait more of a gallop than something with a bear-like skeleton would normally be capable of. It surges forward along with Rose, smashing itself into the line of metal.
The Null closest to it is seized in its jaws and lifted up off the ground by its middle. Up on its hind legs, even taller than the robots, the monster proceeds to dismantle the thing by pulling off its limbs.]
no subject
Rose ends up shouldering one of the metallic creatures hard. It staggers, bionic knees buckling. With it stunned for a second, she lands on her feet and twists her body in a snap to roundhouse kick one of the other ones. It clangs loudly but flops harshly to the ground a few yards away.
It's a good thing her bones are made of stronger stuff than their steel. Looks like she's still got it. ]
Dismembering, [ she comments, unsure of if the thing actually understands her. ] Classic. Good call.
no subject
When Rose speaks, the lights of its eyes flick her direction for a second, and if you squint just right, it almost looks like it nods. An acknowledgment, even if it doesn't seem to participate in the sarcasm. But then it's over, and the monster goes back to trying to find the part that makes the robots stop moving. You know, with sometimes having to backhand a different robot for trying to pry it off of its prey.
And hopefully Rose doesn't happen to be in the way when said backhanding occurs, sending the machine skidding away.]
no subject
Definitely not it having a mean backhand. She isn't directly in the way but she does have to kind of scooch a few inches to the side in order to avoid The Null that's sliding her direction. Once it passes, she turns her attention back to the ones she stunned but didn't kill.
One of them gets a dig of her claws into its chest. Or an attempt to. Instead, ] Ah, jeez, I broke a nail, [ she says. More like she broke all of them but- It's fine. Her pain tolerance is high and she barely registers that, instead switching tactics and taking her teeth to things' metallic throat. It raises its hands to pull her off but she manages to behead it before it can pry her off.
That'll at least slow it down. ]
no subject
Another robot is attempting to cut it, and manages to laser off a couple of ribs before the Visitor turns, slamming a shoulder into its front, tackling it to the ground. The creature then proceeds to stand on its legs and balls its front paw-hand into a fist. Steadying itself with the other hand, it bashes said fist into the Null's center, attempting to simply crush the core inside the metal around it. Seems faster than rooting around for it, anyway. Even if it is cracking the bones in its hand a little bit.]
no subject
One of the Null is judo thrown as it careens towards her. Doesn't do a whole lot to actually stop it, but- These damn things are pretty sturdy. No wonder the gods had such a helluva time trying to shake them. Rose supposes it'd do wonders to not feel pain or need to, like, eat or breath or drink... Man, just think of all the time she'd save.
Only she shouldn't be thinking about that right now because the moment she's distracted is the moment she's sucker punched into the nearest tree. ] I'm alright! [ she declares, raising a hand in affirmation and spitting blood only a second late. ]
no subject
The Visitor doesn't feel pain, or need to eat or breathe or drink, but that seems to have its drawbacks, at least as far as it's concerned. In smashing the Null with its fists, it's managed to fracture several fingers and one of its hands sits weirdly on its wrist. This does not seem to bother the creature, at least.
What does seem to bother it is seeing Rose smashed into a tree trunk. That is far too close for comfort to where it left its host.
With a piercing shriek it leaps forward and rakes its claws through the back of the Null that hit her snapping off an already-broken pinky in the process. The Null fights back, shoving at the black mass and its floating bones while the thing chews the robot's other arm off.]
no subject
From where she lays, Rose suddenly twists, pivots, and leg sweeps the Null as soon as its close enough. Once it's downed, she steps on its chest with an impressive amount of force
repeatedly. Mercilessly. Teeth grit and eyes intense, she doesn't let up on the creature until it stops making the attempt to grab at her.
She might not have destroyed its core but she definitely did enough damage to slow it the fuck down. ]
Fuck these things, dude.
no subject
It surges forward and slashes wide, trying to force the robots back. Those in front attempt to attack it, but between its claws, most of what their lasers find is the ashy black. The shadow stuff parts easily enough, but just as easily, it re-forms around the creature's frame.
The lasers at least give the beast a place to aim, though, chomping down on the nearest weapon-arm and wrenching it sideways.]
