Event Log: Jumpscares

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Jumpscares event
Where: All over the city!
When: May 16th-May 20th
Warnings: Some startling jumpscares, interdimensional demon cats, the usual

A dark shadow looms over Hadriel on the morning of May 16th. There's a tension in the air, something palpable, as if everything has gone still and is ready to snap. You've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for hours now, and you're getting to the point where you're starting to wish that it would just happen already so that you can stop feeling this way.

Of course, when it does happen, it's not quite like you expect.

Maybe it's a tiger leaping out of your closet, claws extended. Maybe it's a faceless slenderman, stepping out from around the corner or a monster with beak and claws ripping open your shower curtain when you're most vulnerable- but within seconds, after you've been startled half to death by the monsters, they're gone. They vanish in a puff of smoke, or dissipate into glitter, or become something silly instead for a few brief moments before disappearing entirely.

Weird. But not unendurable, I guess. The bright side is that there will also be a few demon cats that have also made their way through the door. No two cats are ever in the same location, but there seems to be enough of them to go around, though the toothy one can be a bit vicious. Still, they aren't untameable, and might make nice pets, as long as you don't mind a bloody finger or two when it's time for lunch!

Of course. But one last thing.

[Hux held out a hand to block Lance, only barely touching his arm.]

I didn't catch your name- I'm sure we'll run into each other again here since there is only so many places to go.

[So there is nowhere to run, Lance.]

[He tries not to flinch when Hux reaches out, but he's just blocking him; not ideal, but could be a lot worse. Still, he really doesn't appreciate it, and his eyes darken slightly in a combination of nervousness and annoyance.]

It's Lance. And I'm sure we will.

[He says it more coldly than goes with the image he's been projecting, but he's rapidly reaching the end of his patience for vague--or not so vague--threats.]

A pleasure, Lance. I look forward to it.

[He lowered his hand so Lance was free to leave and Hux even waved his fingers to indicate Lance was dismissed. With one last smirk he turned on his heel to walk off, pulling off his gloves as he did so.]
