Out of the corner of her eye Sasha caught a slight movement. She thought it might've been... something. It wasn't.

Slowly, nervously, she immediately summoned Nona.

<Do not get comfortable, my sweet. This.. there is something foul. We have fought one like this once before.. but something feels different.>

Rep snorted at Marcus. "You don't need to ******** lecture me man. I'm /more/ than aware I'm meant to read the ******** things. I've already been in a ******** situation where the fine print's bitten me in the a**." But even despite his insults, he looked more than a little bit on edge from being shoved before.

"Fiiiine." he stated, more willing to take a scolding from Clerise than Marcus

He almost jumped out of his skin as Tracey spoke up his head

"Jesuuus" he hissed irritably out loud, before looking apologetic at the others. "Weapon." he explained if anyone glanced at him for jumping.

<< What is it? >> < I felt something. A spike of ..power. Something strange. Be on your guard. >

He summoned Tracey back this time and kept him. Something wasn't right, he wasn't going to be caught off guard with a warning like that behind him. He edged a little closer to the others, just in case. It was always nice to be near other potential targets.

He glanced over, nerves jangling at what he thought was movement. Lights flickered faintly in the distance on one of the rides. He'd seen it before in the other parks. It had never boded well. Fuucking hell he was scared. More scared than usual, practically on the brink of waking flashbacks.

This was why he liked having said that Clerise would be in charge. He didn't have to deal with 'spats', (even if he was the one causing them). "Only because you asked nicely Clerise. And really?" He frowned thinking back the vegas mission. "Back in Vegas me Bix and Cass ran into them all over the place, sort of like a territory? They all lined up but we never managed to see if they formed anything above that." Not the most useful of information but, "If they're all around here the park itself might be their territory? Like a hunting ground or something."

Dis purred in the back of his mind. Dis hardly purred and -
Something.
What.
Something near but not close enough to know where. I feel it's FEAR. Powerful. Guard my Marcus.
Why the purring then?
I'm hungry


Looking back at Rep he rolled his eyes. Later he'd pick a fight. later. "It happens. Dis likes to... Shock me into things sometimes." A polite way to say he tried to shove images of gay porn into his head. Looking over at another stall.- "Another one. They're all over this place."

Clerise glanced at Sasha, at the hooks in her hands.

Slowly, she grasped Balthazar, summoning him as well. She slung him across her shoulder, moving cautiously.

"It makes sense. We're not on our own, anymore..." At least they all had their weapons out, which meant their shields were up.

She paid attention once every blue moon, it seemed. Even as they approached the first major bend, a fork in the proverbial road, given an option between Polynesia and the Far West. Too bad the Far West was the one on the left.

"Anyone else hear that?" Clerise muttered, almost waspish, unable to shake the music that had floated into her mind. "Isn't everything... off?"

As she passed a nearby display, Sasha narrowed her eyes when she caught sight of a strange symbol. Hooking Nona into her pockets as she knelt, Sasha slowly brushed her fingers across it. A feather fluttered nearby. Nona voice was a restless song in the back of her mind; a soft whisper of caution.

"Nona's concerned," Sasha whispered softly, moving closer to Clerise. "She's worried that something isn't right."

Rep frowned, just near enough to be able to hear Sasha's quiet statement. "Tracey too."

He was on edge to the extreme and froze as he spotted a black feather on the ground.

Wheeling whirling masses, claws everywhere, the screeching ravening hordes and an impossible ******** hell. He had to fight the rising panic back again, a lump in his throat as he tried to remain impassive. And he could /not/ take his eyes off those lights.

Tightening his grip on Dis, Marcus looked for anything else. "Last time I ran into these we also had dead bugs all over. Don't see any here though so- small thing that's a a comfort?" Not really, it could just mean that whatever was around was hiding. Of didn't hate bugs.

The daggers he brought were ready for use, but they wouldn't do him any good caught unawares. Hearing that the weapons were on edge made Marcus ask his own.
Thoughts?
It's unsettling. The pulse of FEAR... Little we can do but be ready

True enough, he thought he saw something in the shadows, but nothing moved. Just a black feather in the wind. "If our weapons don't like it, it could mean we're entering something like that lair, where it was just... all sorts of bad."

"Well, this is beautiful," Clerise muttered, darkly. Balthazar tightened around her mind like a cobra, expressing himself in a rather non-verbal way.

As if his throat was closed up, too nervous to speak, much like he had at the lair.

"Balthazar is quiet," she said, metal-clad fingers tightening around the ringblade.

"All sorts of bad is probably what we've ******** waltzed right into, given the track record of these ******** missions." Her eyes linger on Rep, whose quiet unease is unsettling in and of its own right.

She forged her ragtag band of warriors onward, casting glances back at everyone every few moments.

Not to see them; but to see if anyone else had graced them with their presence.

She...felt exposed. Watched. It was a trial not to let panic overtake her-- it's easier to let rage overtake her instead. Lip curled, brows furrowed, eyes narrowed.

Bring it the ******** on, bitches.

I don't see anything.

<Your Nona can feel it, my sweet bird. Please be careful. Stay close to the others.>

"It's so quiet.. has anyone else seen anything?" Heeding Nona's words, Sasha moved closer to Clerise. She yearned to reach out and take the other woman's hand just for comfort.

Rep was already very much overtaken by panic, Marcus mentioning the word lair doing utterly nothing for his state of mind as he was reminded by flashback after flashback of the time from before. Wanting to leave for the first time in a long time, but feeling like a coward for thinking it. He met Clerise's gaze and looked haunted.

"As long as its not the bad from before. We don't even have fear scanners this time"

And then someone pushed him.

And he may possibly have screamed. Before covering his mouth.

"Marcus!" Clerise snipped, without looking back. "Quit ******** with Rep!"

Clerise let Sasha's fingers tangle with hers, her grip secure.

Out of nowhere there was a sudden flash of bright light followed by-

- A man wearing a police uniform was walking towards the trainees, shouting angrily while waving their flashlight. They pulled out a gun, pointing it towards them, continuing a series of foreign commands. Upon no reaction from the trainees, they moved in closer, handgun still focused on the closest one, Clerise, taking cautious steps forward. Another command, as the gun clicked, and they squeezed two fingers on the trigger.

Silence again.

This time, they walked even closer, mere feet away now, their hardened, expression, the dirty flecks of their unkept shave, even the musky stench of their uniform mixed with sweat strong at this close a proximity. They moved another step closer-

- And then disappeared.

A second later, just a mere second, their body dropped to the ground in a dull thud, squirming and flailing as blood spewed from its neck. It's head was missing.

Another two seconds, and a dull thud, as something round rolled into the ground, blood-matted hair facing upwards, features still set in an expression of discontent. They would never know what killed them.

There was a large patch of dark red on the ground, spreading outwards from the body. It was no longer squirming at least.

And then, as their weapons flared to life, as the trainees fought a moment to grasp what just happened, there was a whisper.

"Who is next? Who dares to challenge me next?"

The voice came from the sky, but from no visible source.

Marcus was ready to slap Rep and tell him to go back if he was to broken up for this. But at Clerise's admonishment- "I... am not even near him." That didn't mean he wouldn't have ******** with Rep given the chance. But not on a mission where s**t was off and their weapons couldn't find the source of FEAR.

The flash of light and. "Well, we're ********." Police were police and while he lowered his weapon, he had no idea what the guy was saying. Probably to drop their weapon but ********. They were going to be in so much s**t for getting caught by authorities. Only the body vanishing to drop a second later, headless made Marcus realize no, getting caught was minor. Getting killed? A little more important. "Oh s**t."

Head roll.

"Oh s**t."

Not good. s**t from the sky and none of them were ranged god ******** damn it. Bravery could get you killed. But- "Hard to make a challenge when you can't even see who the ******** you're fighting." Dis was brought up, ready to try and block if Marcus could move fast enough.

"What?" Clerise turned to peek at the two of them, baffled, and--

Ugh. Whatever. It could be dealt with later. "Oh, beautiful. A ******** cop, fabullouus," was her disgruntled reply, hand tightening around Sasha's.

Clerise was unfamiliar with guns, but she'd seen an action movie or two. That guy had just popped the safety off.

Ready to bolt and yank the other Life trainee with her, Clerise moved just a little-- and then.

Then? Clerise was staring down at the head, incredulous, bristling like a terrified and angry cat.

"What the <********>." It never got easier, seeing a dead human, his features frozen in his expression, the body on the ground at a horrible angle. "Who's out there!" she demanded without thinking, lip curled, voice raised. There was a quaver in it, and despite herself, Clerise was unable to hide it. Sliding Balthazar down and off her shoulder, she held the ring blade in front of her.

{[ You are a fool, ]} Balthazar rasped. {[ Flee while you can. ]}
