Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( O.o; but Moo's got his cape ))

In less time than he has to think, h'es wrestling and snarling his way out of a pile of biting, scratching zombies, intent on tearing him to pieces, an alley cat caught by a pack of dogs. Tumbling, and rolling, he's hardly aware of the coming gale, the only part of it percievable to him being the raising shriek of the wind sweeping in over the ocean. The blast sweeps through the old buildings, rattling some of the delapedated warehouses down with a splintering crash. None of it makes any sense to his feral brain, until a force stronger than any zombie wrenches him from the throng and he's finally free to think.

Thrown clear, he lands and rolls on the pavement, head swirling. A sound like a frieght train pounds in his ears and the wild tempest threatens to scoop him up, along with their assailants. He scarcely hears Acia's call and struggles to his feet to follow, fighting the wind.

Naraka stumbles after the two of them, until he finds himself being tumbled along helplessly in a fresh gust, swept off his shaky legs. "Acia, rot you!" he shouts through the gale. "What the hell have you done!?!" After a bounce or two off the ground, he finds his feet and scrabbles up to them, where he falls flat on his face.

"Don't! What!?! What are you thinking!?!? Don't you dare!" He rolls onto his back, sputtering. "Damnit!" Pulling himself up once again, he drags Moo to.... well, a safer place than she is now, before dashing backout to the empty street and the swirling winds. HOw she hopes to stop something like that, he's no idea. How she'd even done it in the first place is fairly inconcievable. "Get back here!" he yells furiously into the open air.

Unable to see where the glider had gotten off to, Nar makes for the tornado. If she's gotten herself inside it, there's absolutely nithing he can do. It's getting hard to walk as it is. And then she comes back to him. Nar reaches to snatch her up as she reaches his shoulder. "Oh, for God's sake, let's get out of here," he shouts, turning to run. "Look, it doesn't matter. We just have to go. Moo's fine, she's over--" His voice it cut out in the rushing gail. The twisting column of air's turned and has started to make a slow circle towards them. Out of the goddamn frying pan and into the fire, he thinks bitterly, grabbing up Moo from her hiding place and taking off towards the hospital.

(( Mmmmmmmmm :9~~~ ))


Naraka runs along as fast as his feet can hit the pavement. Nothing in the packing district was safe, being mostly old wood, nothing stable. There are a few close calls with flying debris, but the storms is clearly piddling out, with no real forve behind it other than Acia's abilities.

Bet exactly what had become of the undead persuing them is something of a worry. If they're anything like the ghouls of yore, they'll go wandering off down the street with their leg twisted backwards in search of a meal. Now, however, his primary concern is just getting Moo to the hospital.

The bright glow of the front entrance can be seen down the street. Hissing between his teeth, he whips the door open and jumps in. "Here, quick, take this girl!" Hospital workers rush in on them. "No, damn you, I'm fine! Get off of me! It's nothing, don't touch me! I'm not delerious!" he shouts as they accost him. As a human, he looks like a bloody mess. As a vampire, he's none the worse for wear.

"Let's get out of here before we have to beat them off! Quick, give them her clothes. No, I don't know her medical history, damnit, Ask her; I just brought her. Yes, you can have my name--Sod Off!!!!" He scoops up Acia and escapes back out the door and into the dark. "I can't believe... what's wrong with people?? Do I really look that bad?" He brings a hand up to his head and looks at the red grime on his fingers. "If those things are still wandering around, we'd better find Kanth and Erae as fast as we can."

"I don't know," he moans. "They could be anywhere. And how the hell are we supposed to find out? Look, why don't you just fly up and have a look around? See if you can't spot them. I'm going to start back to where we left them and look for clues. Damn, I wish one of them had just given us their cell number or something. This is a rediculous venture."

"Alright! I'm headed close by. Keep an eye out for me. I'll try not to blend into the dark." He starts off, back the way they came, avoiding the peer district. He might have nightvision, and better hearing than any human, but it's still like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Acia has a much better vantage point.

He comes back to the beach, the last place they'd seen them. Erae and LP's footprints are easy enough to follow along the sand, but once they get back to road, he's a harder time of it. Reguardless, the path is clear. They were headed back towards the house. He hurries to meet Acia.
