Event Log: Predator vs. Prey

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Predator vs Prey event
Where: All over the city
When: March 13th-March 21st
Warnings: None

It all starts with an explosion, because Rage is excellent at managing her anger. But an explosion isn't enough - she hasn't worked out all her feeling yet. Not until the city itself has gotten caught up in her anger at Fear for being unable to save Delight. And yeah, that means you.

So now you're a predator (Rage) or prey (Fear). You want to hunt, or you're being hunted. Maybe you were defenseless before, or maybe you're the sort who no one could be afraid of... but it's different now, because the gods are passing on their blessings to you. All the better to catch and kill, or run and hide.

What will you do? Try to resist the urge? Good luck with that. Who would want to resist, anyway, when it feels so right to give in? Hunt someone down like a cat after a mouse, or flee like a deer before wolves. Maybe you can find someone to help you, whether that means hunting in packs or looking for safety in numbers. Who knows, maybe you'll even make a few new friends while trying to kill your old ones.

You look like crap.

[ Nate amends, because it's certainly worth saying and it's definitely noticeable. He was aiming for something friendly and concerned, the kind of thing you use to mask cruel intentions, but here they are. Taako already suspects and there's probably no point in pretending otherwise, stopping about fifteen feet short to watch him.

You cool?

Nate's gentle concern twists for the sarcastic, a once-friendly smile slanting sinister. ]

No.

[ He draws his gun and fires. ]

[pocketspa]

[He sees his face twist and Taako's stomach drops, eyes widening in time with the leap of his heart into his throat. It's a good thing he's good at working through fear, because he has a feeling if not, this would be paralyzing.

It takes little more than a lift of his finger for the shield to release, the bullet hitting a shimmering, unseen wall that falls in hexagons after the hit as Taako yells.]

Oh son of a bitch!

[Great, now he has to maybe kill Nate. Just fantastic. This is the most inconvenient thing that's happened so bad, and he counts the Circle of Death Lucretia slapped him with for half his health like an hour ago. He kicks off the ground, starting into a dodge, the Krebstar in his hand glowing as he runs up another spell.]

Alright, you asked for it--

[He's gotta keep mind of his slots-- he burned so many on Lucretia-- but that's why we put those mid levels to work. A second or so later, the floor opens and something appears to climb out of it, coming for Nate.

Taako doesn't need Fear's stupid blessing for this one-- Phantasmal Killer does it for him. So he has as much time as it takes Nate to figure out whatever he just summoned is fake to run the fuck away-- if he's lucky, it'll be the full minute.]
