At some point during the night, Nash had slid an arm around Melvin's waist, burying his face against his back, nestled - well, not technically comfortably, since they were essentially lying on a hardwood floor - but at least warmly.
For approximately five seconds.
Not really, Nash determined, as he jerked upright with an instinctive grumble and a gasp of breath, half dozing and half awake. But it sure felt like five seconds, and it was only after he heard the crashing roar from down below that Nash snapped fully awake.
He scrambled to his feet, half tangled in blankets, and had summoned his weapon within an instant, peering down at the ground just as something reared up and slammed enormous, twisted black paws against the underside of the pavilion. Nash snapped the whip downward with a gasp, an immediate reaction.
"What the <********> is that."

Lawrence had a night filled with strange dreams, going to the zoo with his family as a child with his siblings and getting lost, unable to find them again, running into only strange hostile figures dressed in white coats with blank featureless faces standing eyeing the exhibits. The sound of a snarl seemed part of the dream at first until Melvin shook him, but even this didn't make sense in the confused and addled moments between sleep and waking.
He untangled himself and summoned his claws, taking stock of what was happening in a ruffled mess.
But if there was one thing that was somewhat easy for Lawrence, it was snapping into a murderous and brutal sort of mode, and he'd just been woken from a hard won sleep by a CAT. In spite of Jan having eighteen cats, Lawrence didn't care for them all that much and this one was extra specially unwelcome.
"It's an inconvenience." he said, and with a staggering lack of self preservation, leapt right off of the platform they were on, shifting into his owl form mid-air, gaining a few wingbeats in height, twisting to face the cat and diving, claws outstretched towards it.
And then he turned back as he fell, the claws suddenly Butch's ten long blades which he drove into the creature's back and held on like a bronco rider.
He didn't like being woken up.

Nash was moving, and Lawr already snapped into focus and in one swopping motion rose up into the sky as and owl and down as a sharp dagger. Placing his glasses back on his face, he dug into his back, pulling out a black satchel and opening it up. There were two long, dark rods of metal there with engravings. Babel flew about him frantically, urging him. "I know. I know!" He snapped at it, shooing it away. "Just stay back okay." He told the fish, pulling out one of the rods and looking up, to which the fish seemed to agree. Or maybe it was just his own imagination.
Taking it, he started moving down the steps. He was a long ranged fighter. He always tried to gain distance so changing his entire fighting style felt messy, awkward, and downright terrifying. Saliva was hungry and thrashed in his mind, taking offense to the other weapon.
I'm sorry. I gotta do this. I can't ******** this up.
It was FEAR and Atlantis needed it.
Pushing the indentation on the rod, a long blade came out. "I really like guns better." He muttered before moving down the steps and to what was clearly a black cat. A massive black cat. Panther?
Moving to it, he slashed out, watching at the creature turned about to slash at him.

Nash felt absurdly - and irritatingly - out of his depth here. Lawrence and Melvin were both full hunters, which meant that they had full hunter strength and advanced weapons to work with, whereas Nash only had his basic trainee s**t. And while the whip was enormous, he couldn't make up for lack of rank with it.
It was very aggravating, not to mention humiliating.
Nash ground his teeth together and swung the whip again as the creature's claws smacked at him, the pavilion wobbling. A sideways glance was given to Melvin - and then he did a double take at the long sword in his hand, which was, Nash recalled, not Melvin's usual weapon.
"What the ******** are you even using?"

Lawrence was shaken roughly by the creature as it thrashed and tried to dislodge him, simply holding on more tightly. He was single minded when it came to things like this, entirely focused on ending the life of the creature who'd woken him up.
He only even noticed that Melvin was waving a big sword around when he heard Nash yell about it, giving it a cursory glance before getting back to feeding Butch as much fear as he could possibly manage.
This involved a lot of sinking one set of talons into black furred flesh while the other set got driven deep between the creature's ribs with surprisingly surgical precision for someone astride an angry bucking animal.
"Just kill it." he said sharply to Nash.

"Not important right now!" He called back to Nash, swinging again but pulling back quickly as the panther bucked and swung Lawr towards where he was aiming.
"DAMNIT LAWR! I can't hit you with this! GET OFF IT!" He called out, not wanting to get Lawr's Fear energy mingled with the rod and potentially doing the one thing Soarca wanted him NOT to do - ******** things up.

He felt the reprimands - both of them - like a physical slap, a mixture of anger and embarrassment rising in Nash's face. Ordinarily, he would have brushed it off, rolled his eyes, made a sarcastic remark back - but considering who it came from made it about ten times worse.
So much for his attempts at not getting into anything. And so much for his attempts at keeping his head above water.
His next swing missed, the whip curving across the creature's back, narrowly missing an enormous paw.

Lawrence wasn't paying too much attention to Nash truth be told short of being somewhat pleased the man was at least pitching in on the fight. After all a Lawrence's wellbeing was at stake so it was important everyone pulled their weight.
Melvin though, Melvin was being completely rude.
"Well maybe you should ask him to PUT ME DOWN." he said and muttered under his breath in Swedish.
It translated to
Though that wasn't a direct translation of what he said.
He didn't get down and he only kept right at what he was doing. Butch's runes all lit right up.

He gritted his teeth at that translation, Babel floating higher above him than normal to give him some room, but still supervising over him like a govenment drone.
Was this what Lawr thought?
"Maybe you shouldn't jump on GIANT MONSTER CATS!" He shouted back at him.
He looked over at Nash. "Think we can coral this thing into a corner?"

They were acting like he hadn't been already fighting this entire time, especially considering that Nash had been the first to even try and hit the damn thing. Lawrence was being his usual melodramatic, I'm a savior to the world self, and Melvin was -
Well. Nash didn't know what Melvin was, other than yelling.
He snapped the whip again, teeth gritted together, imagining that it was instead Lawrence's face that he was currently trying to smash in, rather than a very large, very angry, mutant cat...thing that trying to crush them all into pieces.
"The ******** do I know," said Nash, as a claw raked down one of his legs, making him stumble. "All I care about is killing it."

"Then we are all on the same page." Lawrence said distantly before being bucked off entirely, narrowing his eyes at the creature before climbing up to the roof of the platform and leaping straight back at the furious cat. This time it saw him coming and swiped him with a paw, sending him flying straight into the ground and knocking the wind clean out of him.
He lay there for a bit, thinking about how glad he was to have a shield sometimes, before picking himself up againa.

"Alright! ******** tactics then!" He said, moving in and ducking as Lawr was flung back.
Slashing out at it to keep it from going after the fallen prey, he called behind him.
"YOU OKAY, LAWR?!" He called out, standing between him and the creature as it swiped at him again. Damn he hated using a sword. He'd have a charge by now.

He was still trying to figure out if Melvin was being sarcastic or not when the creature bucked Lawrence off, the latter going flying. Nash wasn't about to go after him, and frankly hoped he got some common sense and decency knocked into him in the process.
It was doubtful. Nash was getting a little winded, Acheri clattering inside of his head, muttering something about get moving that Nash ignored, as he always did.
The centipede whip lashed out at the same time as one of the paws of the creature came slamming into the pavilion, rocking it a little, Nash clutching at the edge of the wall to keep from tumbling over the side. He hissed out an obscenity, and then other, and then a whole stream of them.

Lawrence was scuffed up, ruffled, his hair was a mess and it was COLD. He was through being civilised or even pretending to be civilised.
Butch also hated cats and was giving him lots of helpful advice on the importance of going for the neck.
This time, he charged forward at the cat and slung himself onto its back, using the long chains on his claws to hold himself there, looping them under its neck where he tightened his hold and twisted.
It made a sound of rage and once again tried swiping up at him.

Lawr had a hold of him, firm and raising it's neck out for him to see it's chest laid bare to him. Without hesitating, he moved in, rushing forward before he placed a hand at the back of the pole and plunged the sword deep into, letting the rod feed into the deep core of energy inside.
He twisted it, trying to keep it firmly there at it swiped at his shield. "DIE ALREADY!"
