"When people build their homes so close together, it tries to confuse my direction..." His mouth formed into a wide smile, showing his tongue as he looked at Nala. "I have the best company to be lost with, I believe." Laughter rumbled in his chest. The man was in a pair of khaki shakes, black leather boots, a pink Hawaiian shirt, and a blue 'Bud Light' trucker cap that had seen better days. |

"Great game guys. You have yourselves a good night." The somewhat shy Asian said to the small group who departed from the restaurant. It looks like Kai had just finished a pick-up baseball game, since he was wearing a Seattle Mariners baseball cap, an unbuttoned baseball jersey with a white graphic t-shirt underneath with a picture of the Koolaid man smashing through a wall and the words "Oh YEAH" written underneath it, grey Adidas track pants that had quite a bit of dirt on them and black running shoes that were covered in dust. He had a black backpack slung over his shoulders and was carrying a baseball bat as he waved one more time at his departing baseball buddies. As he turns to head to his parked car, he notices a rather tall man who happens to have a familiar face in Bjorn who is approaching the restaurant with two others whom he doesn't recognize. "Aloha and evening Bjorn. How are you?" He says in a cheerful tone and nods politely to Nala and Akhlut. |

He'd eschewed 'nice' clothes for running ones; a pair of shorts, good sneakers and a loose mauve tank top that had a dog picture and the legend "Dogs: They're Good." With the world full of fog, it nevertheless wasn't THAT hard to make out two particular figures in the mist. He gave a friendly wave to Akhlut and Bjorn. "Hey it's Olsen and Johnson, the Hellzapoppin boys. Aloha." He nodded to Nala, grinning widely. "And Fathom and Young Skywalkah." He said the last part as it should be, clapping Kai on the shoulder. "How ya been man? Getting into any trouble lately?" He smiled at Iara and gave her a nod. "Aoha Iara. Long time no see. How've you been?" |
Yazhu walks through the foggy night quietly, a light step that carries her on steadily. As ever, she stands out in the modern environs with her anachronistic clothing, a light cloak added over the blue and white ruqun, more for the hood which she has drawn over her head. The rest hangs behind her, off of her shoulders. | Yazhu walks through the foggy night quietly, a light step that carries her on steadily.

A bag well packed, but not too heavy for her it seems. She's nearing the area from the more dense residential portion of this neighborhood. A house call, perhaps. Though with her smooth expression, it's hard to tell if it was a good or bad one. Her eyes flick towards the folk gathered ahead of her at the noodle place. Moving from one indistinct figure to the next. |

The | + | A man exited the noodle house, pulling a black blazer that looked fairly snazzy on over a zipped up, dark gray hoodie. The over-jacket was also in marked juxtaposition to the set of close fitting athletic pants he wore, the dark blue colored garment looking maybe a size too small for the well-built man. His shoes were a set of low slung sneakers, and he notably had no socks on with them. The hood of said hoodie was tugged up to cover his shaggy, brown hair, and he looked around with a set of dark brown eyes that seemed to scan everyone in the immediate area. Of course, the fact that they were all the only things really discernible besides the restaurant in the fog might explain that. He rubbed at his nose with the back of his hand and cleared his throat slightly, though the sound turned into something more akin to a trembling whine as his eyes fixed on Akhlut. The young man jerked his hood forward a bit, attempting to occlude the view of his eyes, before he started walking in a direct path toward the very large man. Once he was within a few steps, the young man launched himself at the tall man in pink, giving a sharp sounding snarl as he did so. Of course, it looked more like a child attempting to sneak attack a father as Akhlut merely reached out and stopped the man's forward progression with a hand at the center of his chest, causing the young, now solid black-eyed, man's breath to whoosh from him in a rush. |

It sounds like you have a better excuse than good surf." The man grinned and nodded, "It is one of my names." Patting on the hand holding Nala's, Akhlut turns his attention and directs it towards Iara. Maybe it was an attempt to make introductions, but his free hand shot up to push his assailant back. The sound that followed could only be describe of jovial laughter. "Just because you can see the fish, does not mean you can bring it into the boat." Releasing Nala, the happy laughter continued as he reached for his attacker to grip the man by his forearms... His grip immediately slipped the sleeves over Matthew's hands, and Akhlut spun Matt in place to wrap his own arms around the poor attacker. |

− | Nala grinned broadly to Kai, nodding to him. "Wonderful name, Kai. He le'ale'a to know you. And mahalo for the advice on dinner. We usually just get four of everything so Akhlut has a snack for the walk home." She winked at Kai, then looked fondly up at Akhlut. When Iara introduced herself, Nala looked over at her and smiled. "Oh! Yes, Doc Keawe mentioned he'd had a young assistant named Iara there for a while. Nice to meet you, Iara." Nala looked like she was about to say something, specifically to Yazhu, when the young man launched himself at her mate.

Nala looked like she was about to say something, specifically to Yazhu, when the young man launched himself at her mate. Her bright, blue-green, eyes widened and she stared at the man, her jaw setting and clenching for a moment as indignant anger crept over her face notably. "HEY! What on earth are you doing, haole?!" Her voice was nearly a hiss, though when Akhlut immediately turned the man around to face away from him and turned the blazer into a straight jacket, humor caused the edge of Nala's lips to curl up into an amused smirk. "Why do people go after the bigger fish? Too greedy, should go for smaller fish." The smile on her face quickly faded, though, to nothing at all as Nala whipped around to look out into the fog. "Someone's... not alright." Nala took a step away from Akhlut, going out into the fog a little, with her head turned specifically in one direction. "Akhlut, something worse was successfully fishing, out there. Did you hear that?" She peered into the fog as if it would reveal something, which it did not. |
− | + | "Nice meeting you Iara." Kai replies to the young woman and then turns to Felix. "Never hurts to keep in shape my friend and you don't mind this weather?" He quirks his eyebrow slightly and then replies with a slight grin, "You do know that stories that contain trouble in it sometimes begin with...It was a dark and foggy night." He then looks up at Bjorn and then to Nala, "Things are good and thanks for your kind words miss." But then this dark haired dude from the restaurant attacks the big fellar Akhulut but is quickly subdued. "What in the...that ain't cool man." By reflex his right leg shifts back a bit as he gets into a guarded stance, glancing around warily just in case there are other attackers and he spins his baseball bat to an upright position like it was a sword as he grips it in both hands now. Despite the rather surprising attack, his demeanor appears calm and his breathing controlled. "I have a bad feeling about this..." He says after hearing those strange sounds coming from somewhere in the foggy distance and then yells out into the fog, "Hey...does anybody need help out there?" He then glances over towards Akhulut. "You got that guy under control? Umm...is it just me or does he have really black looking eyeballs?" He then takes one hand off the baseball bat to adjust his baseball cap and says to restrained man. "Just calm down man...we don't want to hurt you. Was the Pho really that bad from the restaurant...cause if it is, you really should just speak to the manager or give them a bad review on the internet..." | |

+ | Iara nods and smiles softly to Akhlut, "Yes, now that this semester is almost finished, I look forward to working at the farm again. And it is nice to meet you too, Nala." she smiles and nods to her. Her tummy continues to grumble hungrily as she waits for the crowds to pass before taking another step towards the door of the popular restaurant. But her path is once again blocked as another person steps out. This man however, seems to catch her attention for a moment, pausing to peer intently at him, nostrils flaring as she sniffs the air. "Huh? What's this..Felix..?" she narrows her eyes, stepping after him, confused about something it seems, shaking her head as she tries to figure something out. And then, before she can react, the man rushes at Akhlut, who stops him easily. Iara continues to watch him intently, frowning softly now. "Who..Who are you?!" When Bjorn makes that revelation, her brows arch curiously, "You know him? Who is he?" But the scent of fresh blood causes her to frown deeply, ears twitching. "This isn't good.." she shakes her head, moving towards the source of the sound, perhaps a bit more bold than she should be as concern overrides caution. "Who's out there? Show yourselves!" | ||

− | + | As they chatted, Felix caught sight of a somewhat familiar face coming out of the noodle place. And a familiar jacket! He raised his hand to the man, about to call out when he watches as Matthew suddenly lunged for Akhlut. With hilariously predictable results. Rubbing his eyes with thumb and forefinger, he stepped well clear of the flailing, stinky young man. "Oh damn dude! I was gonna ask for my jacket back but I think I'd just burn it instead hell." He frowned. "What have you been up to dude? You smell like a freaking abattoir." He grinned at Kai and nudged him in the side. "Good word right?" | |

As Akhlut wrapped Matt in a bear hug, he scratched a hand through his hair, nodding at Bjorn. "Yeah it is! Matty right? Not looking so good there buddy." At Nala's words he perked his own hearing, trying to make sense of the noises. "Do I hear a really thick milkshake? Ooooh Matty... what did you do? Could you not stay away from those two? Dude she was super hot but this is the second time I've seen you covered in blood. And it's the second time I've seen you. There's kink and then there's like... whatever the hell you're doing." He looked to Kai and shook his head. "Nah man. Last time we saw this dude it got weird. Some lady tried to punch Bjorn in the face. Bjorn! He's got like... the least punchable face I know." Giving the big man in question a thumbs up, he looked out over the fog along with Iara. "I dunno... but something is." | As Akhlut wrapped Matt in a bear hug, he scratched a hand through his hair, nodding at Bjorn. "Yeah it is! Matty right? Not looking so good there buddy."

And a second later, Akhlut put him on the ground, putting one of Matt's ankles back to start wrapping one of the sleeves around the kid's ankles. "This is good exercise to get you stronger." Akhlut's laughter seemed to rattle within his rib cage as he was joyfully hogtying the lad. |

Oh great...you aren't serious are you...wait don't answer that. I already jinxed us from my earlier bad feeling about this comment." He glances towards Nala and nods. "I'll come with you and lead the way if you know where we are going." He notices that Matty is very well restrained by Akhulut right now, so he isn't too worried about him being much of a concern at the moment. "Wait...I think I know where those sounds are coming from. Follow me instead! Someone might need our help." He then rushes off into the fog, like a pick-up baseball player in not so shiny armor, since his uniform is covered in dirt while holding his baseball bat high above his head, like he's some sort of samurai warrior charging into fray. |

− | Felix watched with an increasing frown as his former jacket was used to hogtie someone. He couldn't do much besides shake his head. "Oh man... yeah. Just go ahead and keep that Matty."

He looked to the two big fellows and nodded at them. "Right. I'm heading in." He raised his left hand, which sported a colorful beaded bracelet. "Try to look for this? Just in case. So you don't smash my head in by accident." He gave Bjorn a friendly pat on the bicep, nodded to Akhlut and headed off after the others. |

Those legs and arms weren't moving anymore, though. The thing that was on top of the baseball player lifted his face, looking at the impending group of people, and smiled with lips and the entire lower half of his face covered in a thick, candy-red coating of fresh, dripping, blood. He shifted, hefting the body he'd been on top of so that it was overhead, and then threw it toward Nala, managing to have the arms and legs flop against the woman from the hips down, and peppering her with splatters of blood on her own bare legs as it stained her cut-offs with splotches of red. He then gave a snarling sort of chuckle, and leapt off the car to land on the concrete silently, crouched, with muscles bulging in his plain, gray, Tshirt. |

Her nostrils flare as the strong scent of blood becomes even stronger as they come upon the sight of an apparent vampire, feeding upon one of the baseball players. "No!" she gasps, eyes widened, realizing it's probably too late to save the baseball player. When the body is flung towards Nala, she flinches, stepping back before stepping towards Nala to check on her. "Are you alright?" but it seems she is quite alright, and strong enough to pin the guy against the car. |
Iara breathes a sigh of relief, and hurries to the wounded man's side, checking his vitals. "Hey, can you hear me? I think he's still alive..But barely!" she quickly pulls off her shrug, wrapping it around his neck in an attempt to stop the bleeding. "Hang in there, I'll call for help!" she does her best to maintain her composure, even though the blood is all over her hands now. With her other hand, she does her best to wipe the blood off before reaching for her phone, hastily dialing 9-1-1. | Iara breathes a sigh of relief, and hurries to the wounded man's side, checking his vitals.

− | "Oh shit! What the fuck dude?!" The sight of the heavyset man clearly having killed someone was bad enough, worse for the fact that the body was then hurled at Nala. He'd stepped back to avoid the flying, grotesque missile, too distracted now to wonder what had happened to Kai. When the woman responded by smashing Ronnie against a car and pinning him, Felix let out a cheer. "Ha! That's right! You take that you body flinging creep!" As Iara went to look to the potential and repeated victim, he was surprised to spot Kai become visible in the fog. He looked to the man pinned to the car door by Nala and the fog in general. He sighed. "Ok well... if something's gonna jump out and get me... I want that asshole to hesitate. Fuckers already ruined my jacket." As if that was excuse enough, he shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Dry cleaning bills are on these sons of bitches." A declaration well made, as the transformation that | + | "Oh shit!

As if that was excuse enough, he shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Dry cleaning bills are on these sons of bitches." A declaration well made, as the transformation that occurred was intensely violent and certainly bloody enough. Gore sprayed out as tendrils sprung form his back to envelope him. The sound of bone crunching and flesh shifting might make anyone grateful for the obscuring appendages. When the beast that had been Felix finally pulled free, it let out a cry that scorched the air. "Aaaaaalright biiitch. Remember theeese twoo. Where's yoooou aaat?" As if to try and draw any foes out, he reached out an elongated, taloned hand and took a simple, almost lazy swipe at Ronnie, smashing him in the face with a splayed, clawed hand and sending the big man reeling. |

Nala attempted to get herself in against Ronnie hard enough to keep him immobilized, but the pain and rage building in the man she held against the side of the car managed to keep him from being put into a purely still state. She continued to keep him pinned up against the side of the car with his face mashed into the driver's side window and her knee solidly wedged into his spine between his shoulders, though. "We need to finish him, he may be going to get away from me eventually!" Nala called this out to the people there, but her eyes stayed focused on Ronnie solidly, so he didn't pull something tricksey to escape her. | Nala attempted to get herself in against Ronnie hard enough to keep him immobilized, but the pain and rage building in the man she held against the side of the car managed to keep him from being put into a purely still state.

He wriggled and wrenched at his arms and legs until finally, he managed to get the two sets of limbs unbound from one another. Sure, he was still in a sticky situation as he was laying on the ground and had his upper half still tied up and hardly able to move, but he was better off now than he had been a moment or two ago, and his whimpering seemed to subside a little as this became the case.

The false skinned ones. I've heard they look like disfigured bats under their fake flesh." She knelt down and looked at the shredded flesh mask falling out of Ronnie's pants leg, and at the tear in that mask across the dead creature's face, revealing the leathery, dark skin of the bat-like fiend beneath. "This isn't good. It means they're here, and will be eating people." Nala stood back up, looking at the others gathered, and then to the one that Akhlut had hogtied rather effectively. "We'll have to keep him somewhere secure. If he's like this one, he can't be in sunlight. I can get a cross or two from the main house at my parent's place, and we'll have to rig him up well. Unless one of you happens to have a dungeon somewhere?" Nala looked over at Bjorn and nodded. "Iara did, I heard her talking to them on the phone, and they're likely on the way, the fog just makes it hard to hear, and hard to see until they're on us." Frowning slightly, she looked over at Felix and raised a brow. "Can you grow wings and chase that other person? Maybe give us an idea of where... no, never mind. The fog would make that just foolhardy. We'll have to find her again another time, when we aren't running through soup." Turning her eyes to Akhlut, Nala offered him a soft smile. "I suppose we should carry him out of here before they get here, or they'll just arrest him and who knows what will happen then." |

Keep an eye out for the clingy lady...she's got a real strong grip and moves like the wind. I'm going to go check on Iara and my...buddy." He turns to walk but stops and glances back.

2 March, 2009 Red Court Vampires strike in the fog |
Location
Central Oahu, Mililani Side Street |
Plot(s) |
Fog had rolled in through Central Oahu, leaving everything heavily veiled. Even though it was about 11pm at night, things had a strange, fuzzy sort of glow about them because of the streetlights found strewn and obviously on along the streets of Mililani. Near the small 'downtown' section of the mostly residential area, the businesses glowed from within, giving strange, bright, splotches into the fog to light people's way inside, where they can spend their hard earned money. Better still, while not everything was open, a few of the standard 24/7 locations were up and running to be considerate to those with late night cravings. The gas station, the mini marts, and of course the local 20 Pho 7 noodle house.
The sounds of familiar voices nearby, and a place she has not tried out before - 20 Pho 7 noodle house - cause her to change direction to intercept the others heading in that direction. And once she gets near enough, she offers a shy smile and wave to those gathered, some of them little more than familiar faces. "Aloha ahiahi, Bjorn. How are you?" she pauses a moment, trying to remember the name of Akhlut and Nala, perhaps having crossed paths with them only briefly and ends up just smiling and waving to them. "Aloha ahiahi. What a strange and foggy night it is..I wonder if this place is any good?" she nods towards the noodle house, stepping aside quickly as Kai steps out. "Oh, I'm sorry.." she blurts out automatically. Dressed in a cute flared lacy red summer dress, a short thin black bolero and strappy black sandals on her feet, Iara looks comfortable in the cool fog, dressed for a late night walk in her usual favored colors.
A small bag hangs from one shoulder, a hand gripping the strap. A bag well packed, but not too heavy for her it seems. She's nearing the area from the more dense residential portion of this neighborhood. A house call, perhaps. Though with her smooth expression, it's hard to tell if it was a good or bad one. Her eyes flick towards the folk gathered ahead of her at the noodle place. Moving from one indistinct figure to the next.
She smiles up at Bjorn, giving him a quick hug before nodding to Felix. "Yes, it really has been a while. I guess midterm exams has been keeping me pretty busy. I've had to take a break from my work at the farmhouse.." Oh yeah, that's probably where she saw Akhlut from. She peers at him curiously. "It's..Akhlut, right? Nice to meet you again.." finally, Iara peers curiously at Kai and nods shyly. "Nice to meet you, Kai. I'm Iara." She notices Yahzu, another person who seems only vaguely familiar from somewhere or other and she smiles and nods to her. "Aloha ahiahi. Coming to the noodle house as well? It seems popular tonight.."
As Akhlut wrapped Matt in a bear hug, he scratched a hand through his hair, nodding at Bjorn. "Yeah it is! Matty right? Not looking so good there buddy." At Nala's words he perked his own hearing, trying to make sense of the noises. "Do I hear a really thick milkshake? Ooooh Matty... what did you do? Could you not stay away from those two? Dude she was super hot but this is the second time I've seen you covered in blood. And it's the second time I've seen you. There's kink and then there's like... whatever the hell you're doing." He looked to Kai and shook his head. "Nah man. Last time we saw this dude it got weird. Some lady tried to punch Bjorn in the face. Bjorn! He's got like... the least punchable face I know." Giving the big man in question a thumbs up, he looked out over the fog along with Iara. "I dunno... but something is."
Letting out a growled sort of roar of effort, Nala rushed forward at the man-thing that had hurled the dead body at her. She put all of her strength into the effort, ducking in under the length of his arm and then jerking back behind him. The next moment, she slammed Ronnie the vampire face first into the car, her knee planted solidly between his shoulder blades. "STAY!" She cried the word loudly as the man struggled quite valiantly against her, and then put more pressure against him so that his face was solidly squashed against the driver's door window.
Iara breathes a sigh of relief, and hurries to the wounded man's side, checking his vitals. "Hey, can you hear me? I think he's still alive..But barely!" she quickly pulls off her shrug, wrapping it around his neck in an attempt to stop the bleeding. "Hang in there, I'll call for help!" she does her best to maintain her composure, even though the blood is all over her hands now. With her other hand, she does her best to wipe the blood off before reaching for her phone, hastily dialing 9-1-1.
Matthew, as he'd been dropped to the ground, began to struggle in earnest. Obviously he didn't enjoy being tied up like the soon to be roasted beast. He wriggled and wrenched at his arms and legs until finally, he managed to get the two sets of limbs unbound from one another. Sure, he was still in a sticky situation as he was laying on the ground and had his upper half still tied up and hardly able to move, but he was better off now than he had been a moment or two ago, and his whimpering seemed to subside a little as this became the case. That is, of course, until he sees Ronnie get himself completely murdered. Just... obliterated. Matt let out a scream of terror and started attempting to scuttle away along the ground, like a land-bound crab on its back.
And then thankfully it was Felix again, mass and shape retracting suddenly so that once more there was a college student in running clothes, making a face and sticking out his tongue. "I can definitely help yeah. But right now I wanna go get super drunk and forget I just did that." He grinned at the two big men and Nala. "That was some damn good team work. You really are the hellzapopin boys. And girl."
