It was a long wait for Yelena & Arc. Ghouls, devil rats, and the occasional Grendel, and something with eight legs a bloated body and an almost human head were beginning to move and hunt. So the sensor net would ping, and each time Arc checked it wasn't their target. And then the sensor net ping'd, and even before it ping'd you saw them rise, and Arc suddenly remembered the lag from such a large network, now made larger because of the additions of the gangers. It was a swarm of almost finger long creatures flying out to hunt. And Arc & Yelena's warm bodies are the closest thing to them. In a moment they are surrounded by the hungry little vermin.
@ Feathers, Johnny, Masquerade You all feel an almost overpowering hunger and then suddenly It flows out of the sewer sinuously, silkily, and with inhumanly possible speed, and your minds are suffused with an impossible joy, you want to laugh with the unbounded joy inside of you. It's time to eat! And there is so much food here! And there is the one whose taste you know Oh you could scream with the pleasure of a lover at so much food! So much joy!!! It homes in on Masquerade like a beacon and you are overwhelmed with the joy of it all as it comes. A shadow in the darkness arcing against the starry sky and then heading straight for Masquerade.
@ Feathers Almost as soon as you hear Raven scream "It's coming!" you hear your air spirit call out the same warning. "Auglathavel comes! Guardians ready!" And eagle, who has been curiously silent since his intervention whispers in your mind. "Strength little one. You must focus and do your part in this. We, the guardians have long seen this time coming and have made you, our charges as ready as we can. Focus now."
