Aisling and the Doctor - Change - It seemed the taste was not so sweet...

[coimiceoir]

Even for Aisling, it had been a long day. She had no idea where the wild dogs had come from, or why they were so sick, or how to cure them. She had no idea why the bats were about in day time or why they were actively attacking people instead of avoiding them and finding a nice dark place to sleep in until night fell. So she and her Doctor had been running all day, trying to keep as many animals from being killed and as many people from being hurt as possible.

As evening approached, the creatures seemed to thin, and they had retreated to the forest to rest and watch as the sun set over the mountains. They hadn't spoken much, as tired as they were. Her hand throbbed strangely where an overzealous bat had sunk in its teeth as she'd tried to free it from the wires it had been caught in, and the dog bites hadn't healed as they should either. Doctor had taken worse, over all, though nothing seemed to be bad enough to cause too much concern.

There was something soothing about the way the sun drew in its trailing golden cloak over the waves and turned the sky orange and letting deep dusk follow behind. Finally the edge of it dipped below the sea, and the light of its passing faded behind it, the moon peeping out from behind the mountains. With a sigh, she stretched and made to get up. A sharp, lancing pain shot up her arm, startling a cry from her lips and making her hunch over the offending limb. Something was very wrong. She couldn't quite catch her breath, and her blood burned, scalding her from the inside out. The trees about her rustled and cried out in their shared pain, and she tried to close herself off from them as much as possible. The pain intensified, radiating out to engulf her.

[freezespirited]

For most of the day, Jack had taken to the sky, occasionally stopping on a roof or branch before Wind and he began to play again. He couldn't avoid the bats, but it was better than rabid dogs and bats. It didn't take long for him to realize the creatures ignored him for the most part. "Huh." Weird.

Then again, when weren't things weird?

It was night time, and for some reason, this moon wasn't as comforting as it usually was for Jack. It felt harsh. Like a beaming, artificial light. He kept his back to the sky, floating around with no destination in mind. He had just finished checking on the bunnies, and securing them in his room. Call it a feeling. With all these dogs, he just didn't want to take any chances. He found himself weaving around the sharp maze of the forest's branches, enjoying the game with a light laugh and a strong chill of air that rattled the branches. He flipped up, and dove back down, bounding off the trunks and using the branches like a set of monkey bars, the forest filled with elated laughter, all previous thoughts forgotten. Eventually, he landed gently on the ground, shielded away from the moon, grinning stupidly and already deciding what to do next.

Lin and Koizumi - A Change by Turns

[steelweb]

Lin was exhausted and aching. Ever since a pack of dogs had woken her up just before dawn, she'd been on the move, using her armor and martial arts to her advantage. It hadn't been perfect. She didn't heal as quickly as she did when she was younger, as her doctors kept insisting on telling her, and her ribs had begun to ache around the noon hour. Despite Doctor Watson's timely warning, there had still been too many people about, and half of them needed saving. She hadn't expected the bats the first time, and one of them had gotten itself tangled in her hair, biting at her throat and hands several times before she'd managed to get it untangled. And of course hand-to-teeth with packs of dogs tended to result in bites. She'd stopped by the clinic and gotten her rabies shots and had them bandaged, but that didn't matter. She had needed to keep moving.

With the sun setting, striping the concrete in the orange light and black shadow of a tigerdillo pelt, the packs had thinned, the bats winging their way off into the darkening sky. One more round before she went home. She'd promised Koizumi when they'd met earlier that she'd call him. Check in on him as much as him checking in on her.

It was as they talked, offering small exchanges that attempted to remain open and mostly honest even as they reassured one another that they were fine, that the dizziness hit. Lin had to pause, regain her balance, bite back a hiss. She was passing through a park, and a handy bench afforded her a place to sit as she tried to catch her breath. Everything spun and wove around her, fading into fuzzy incoherence before suddenly sharpening so that she had to shut her eyes lest they be sliced open on the razor's edge of a far building. Her stomach churned. Something was wrong. Very calmly and quietly, she gave the boy her location and requested water, tacking on, "If you're in the area, I would appreciate it if you'd stop by." She hardly heard his affirmative before the line went dead.

Leaning forward, she rested her armored elbows on her thighs and hung her head. At least the nausea gave her something to focus on other than how humiliating this was.

He'd be there. She just had to retain consciousness until he arrived.

Aisling and Koizumi - Fear is nature's warning

[coimiceoir]

The pack didn't quite understand. They knew she'd changed, and they didn't quite like it, but they were hers in every way possible, as was this land, and they would do what she told them regardless. They had each given their tribute, as was required, and now lay quiet about her as she explored the feeling of renewed and bolstered power within her. Yes. This was good. A painful awakening to a new night, but it was better this way. She would be even more capable of defending that which was hers.

Her head snapped up and in an instant she was at the mouth of the den. Someone was here. In her forest. And they'd hurt one of her creatures. She took off, reveling in the added agility and speed her new-found abilities granted her, nothing more than a slight blur and a rustle of sound in the dark.

Lin, Koizumi, and Sarah - You don't want to escape

[steelweb]

A slow heavy-lidded smile played along Lin's lips as she watched Koizumi inhale, his first few breaths as a new creature, born again into the fierce world of immortality. He could sense her, she could tell, the euphoria of new power in his veins and the devotion he would feel to her as his sire... She didn't know where she knew the word from, but it fit, so she shrugged it off. The hunger would strike him soon, as it had her. Now where to find him sustenance. A first feed was important. She could smell the cat in the other room, and the great grey parrot, but they would not be enough for a newborn vampire.

Absently, she smoothed his hair back from his forehead with an unusual tenderness, the cut on her wrist from which she had fed him already sealing. She could, of course, feed him herself. But that would leave her weaker than she'd like.

Her head came around as footsteps sounded in the hall outside the apartment. ...Sarah. A wholly different smile, knife-edged and cruel, thinned her lips. Perfect.

Koizumi and Sheska - Do I dream again?

[librariansheart]

Sheska finally had everything ready. Snacks on the coffee table, drinks in the fridge, her outfit carefully orchestrated to be casual, not formal - certainly nothing suggesting a date! - and a neutral array of movies, none of which involved romance or even kissing. Gwen had been surly and on edge all day, despite Rook's ever-cheerful company, and the woman had finally gone out. On a walk. Alone. As night was falling. ...To say that Sheska was a bit worried was something of an understatement. But tonight was a night to relax! To enjoy a bit of peace and quiet and watch a movie with one of her good friends.

Now to wait for him to get here.
.
.

Maybe she'd better go check and make sure the living room is tidy again.

Lin and Koizumi - Without an honest heart as compass

[steelweb]

Lin's fury had subsided to a simmering rage beneath an icy surface, her calm little more than a thin veneer - a porcelain mask over the monster. Harkness had done an excellent job constructing the cell. For all her supernatural strength, she had been unable to do more than crack the thick Plexiglas. The walls had held. The joints of the structure were solid. Everything was hermetically sealed - even the circulation system was airtight. She had made the rounds of psychological testing as well, and her captors held firm. They hadn't even unsealed the door long enough to release food for her.

She could sense others held here. Wolves, like a restless, migrating itch she could never quite scratch - base-born curs, worth nothing and more frustrating than fleas, they destroyed everything they touched and turned the kine into more of them, leaving little to none left for the vampires to feed on.

Hunger was a constant presence, nearly palpable in its intensity by this point, pulling her skin taut against her bones and exhausting her if she paced too long. So instead she stood motionless, conserving her energy, thinking of other options to try. Ever since she realized she would be unable to escape this place under her own considerable power, she had been reaching out to her eldest child. Her most trustworthy and competent scion. And the most dangerous. If he had any ambitions to take her down and step into her shoes, this would be the most effective method for him to do so while keeping his hands spotlessly clean.

She had considered the notion and deemed it a risk worth taking. Itsuki was intelligent. Ruthless. And though he occasionally chaffed under her control, he didn't fight her nearly as hard or as often as he could have. He might be ambitious. Not that ambitious. He would come. And she would be waiting.

Lin and Koizumi - Icons of self-indulgence

[steelweb]

This was an unbridled nightmare. A disaster on all levels. She could list out everything that went wrong, but that would take weeks. Lin sighed, gritting her teeth against the headache pounding behind her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn't just write the whole thing off as a bad job, much as she longed to, that wasn't how Beifongs dealt with problems. She wasn't a child, to ignore the consequences and pretend it had never happened.

She had killed... so many people, over the last week. But chief among them, Sarah and Koizumi. And had attempted to kill Coulson. Would have killed Carol. Among others. But those were the ones she needed to address first.

Koizumi convulsing on her bed, that strange mixture of pain and euphoria in his face; the eagerness with which he had brought down another and followed her orders. The taste of his blood, the velvet heat of it flowing over her tongue. Revulsion churned in her stomach and she tasted bile. He knelt before her, bowing his head, the very shadows reacting to his presence. He had been hers, and even now there was a hard, hot, jealous possessiveness that curled under her breastbone just thinking about it.

And then there had been that night. After he had broken her out.

She quickly took a drink of water, trying to counteract the surge of self-hatred that accompanied a smug satisfaction and low pulse of pleasure. No. It was wrong and despicable, and he couldn't be left thinking that she would act on that again.

Setting the empty glass beside the sink, she swung her coat over her shoulders and headed for the door. She'd see Koizumi first. Then she'd see.

Sheska and Koizumi - It's over now... (the music of the night)

[librariansheart]

The ceiling still hadn't caved in and crushed her. And Sheska wasn't even sure that she had energy enough to be upset about it.

Sunlight crawled across the living room floor in thin stripes through the blinds, occasionally getting in her eyes, but it was easier to close her eyes than to master her lethargy enough to get up and close the blinds more thoroughly. Rook had given up on pulling or whining her off the couch, and heaved himself up onto the couch to curl up behind her knees.

Sleep and it's comforting oblivion had taunted her since midnight, when she had felt the strength and agility drain away, her vision dim and blur, the voracious bloodlust transmute into shock and revulsion. She very vaguely recalled stumbling into an alley to be violently ill, thin crimson liquid splashing the contents of a half-empty trash can. She couldn't really recall how she'd gotten home... but as long as she hadn't hurt anyone else along the way, it didn't matter.

She was worn out. Worn down. Exhausted and terrified, with shocky denial covering a deep well of guilt and despair. Where could she turn? Who could she talk to? ...What would she even say? Her thoughts had run in circles and spirals for hours, and she couldn't think anymore. So she lay still and let the sunlight creep across her face and hoped that when she finally fell asleep there would be no nightmares.

Eleven and Sarah || who let the cats and dogs out?

[cloneororiginal]

The new powers Sarah obtained since her turning were odd. She woke up to find herself looking and speaking like Allison. From there her image shifted to Cosima, the nerdy student who was part of the 'EvoDevo' department. At first it freaked her out, but considering she was a vampire, it shouldn't have. After an hour of concentrating she learned she was able to control her image, shifting to look like any of the clones she met.

There was one other form she could take, an animal. Her default happened to be a cat. A black cat with brown eyes. She began to roam the streets of the city as a cat.

No one would suspect a cat could be a vampire, right? At least she'd avoid Koizumi and Lin this way. She wanted to delay their inevitable meeting as much as possible.

Joining forces

[dontmesswith]

Rogue was racing through the words, trying her best to find a clear and safe spot to transform. The moon's song was calling out to her, letting her know it was taking it's place in the sky. She wanted to head back to her den (a strange thing to call her apartment, but it oddly felt right) before changing, but that wouldn't be the case. Just as she thought she found a spot she saw something shift and move in the shadows.

She started to let out a low growl, preparing to yell or chase the other away, or worse--prepare for a fight. But nothing happened. There was someone else wandering, someone trying to hide and whose scent was familiar. Was there another wolf out there? Instincts guided her then, forcing her to be light on her feet as she tried to track down the form she briefly saw.

Lin and Carol - The lean and hungry type

[steelweb]

The daylight sapped Lin's strength, and she spent most of the day sleeping in her darkened bedroom, but as evening approached and the sun began to sink, she woke, and found herself restless. She needed to feed. And needed to find out what was going on. So she took to the streets. The shadows were long enough that she could fairly easily slip from one to the next.

She had a few people she wanted to see, and Carol was high on that list. If there was one person Lin wanted unequivocally on her side, it was Carol. Time to check on Avengers HQ.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

The moon was slowly rising over the horizon as Koizumi quickly ran down the street. Lin hadn't said much - most people wouldn't make anything of such an innocuous message. "If you've got a water bottle handy", "I'd appreciate it if you'd stop by" - certainly nothing urgent.

Koizumi knew better. Lin never admitted she was unwell or she needed help, even obliquely. For her to send that message - something was very wrong. He'd taken off immediately, as he was on the wrong side of town.

He sprinted around a corner... and suddenly stopped cold. A big brown wolf with streaks of white in its hair was standing in the middle of the street, no more than ten feet in front of him. It had been half facing away from him, and he tried not to draw its attention, make any sudden movements, even as his heart pounded in his ears. It was probably far too late - he hadn't seen it in time, he was much too close. On top of that, he hadn't been quiet in his approach - and even as he was desperately trying to regulate his breath, he'd been running too fast for too long, and it was still loud and uneven.

He was trying to quietly take a step back when the wolf reacted.

Koizumi and Sarah || Family Matters

[cloneororiginal]

It had been one hell of a night for the vampire. She felt exhausted from using her new gift of shape shifting, running into another friend who was now her enemy (because instincts, bloody instincts, told her so) and now she had to return to her apartment. The place where she was murdered and reborn all in one. She wanted to grab one thing, her kitten. One of the few things keeping her sane.

If Lin or Koizumi ate him, she would find a way to kill them.

Once she had her kitten she'd go to Conrad to see if he could help her out. It was the last thing she wanted to do, but what choice did she have?

[callbacks]

Dave was finishing up the last round of deliveries for the weekend, steeped in the delicious scent of fried mozzarella and oregano, two fat wads of tip cash in his pockets. He had just dropped off his last large in the East building and was making his way back home to West to do some last-minute word problems. Even time-hopping teenage gods weren't exempt from the Sunday night homework scramble.

They also weren't, apparently, exempt from smelling like a delicious snack.

Dave had avoided most of the freaky animal business going down for most of the day, and now that it was evening, it looked like whatever it was had died down. Not bad for weird island shenanigans. He hadn't liked the look of those dogs. Or the sound.

But they were gone, and the night was young, and Dave Strider was young and loaded and invincible and mumbling a new rap to himself and very much not paying attention to his surroundings.

HOLMES, sherlock

[herrin]

It's after dark when she arrives at his flat and knocks on his door, but still early enough that she had made the assumption that John would be at the clinic still. Given her condition, it was safer this way; she'd found the sun to be uncomfortable. On the way, she'd paused to ... snack on a few unwitting citizens, leaving them carefully dumped behind dumpsters. If they were to recover in the course of the night, all they would remember would be a pair of large blue eyes. If not?

Well, wasn't that a pity? Even more the pity was her insatiable hunger.

"Mr. Holmes, I'm not accustomed to waiting," she called, after the door wasn't opened immediately. Ordinarily she would have availed herself of a convenient window, but Irene had found that impossible given her new condition. She ran a tongue over the fangs replacing her canines, hissing under her breath. Every moment wasted.. Was a moment John could be on his way home to interrupt them.

And for the love of god, she swore she could smell them both from across the city. One sweet, ridiculously so, to the point of temptation and utter pull ... the other smelling a bit more like wet fur.

??? - ??? (Profit.) Uh, other feedings, hanging out with Bro, sleeping over at Sheska's, doing his immortal source of sanguinary sustenance thing. Have at him. He's totally open.

Gym class + hanging out

[brotimaeus]

"No, fuck that, I'm taking him home. Let me through."

There was really no stopping Bro Strider once he decided he wanted to do something, and right now what he wanted to do was get to his unconscious brother's side and no one was going to keep him from doing that. Even if it meant he had to push someone - or several someones - out of the way to achieve it.

He crouched down next to Dave, touching the back of one hand to his forehead and generally fussing, which was really only to be expected.

"Hey, li'l man, you feelin' okay?"

11* Morning of the 28th

[tower_bound]

[Rapunzel is thus far blissfully unawares of the chaos ensuing, particularly during the nighttime hours. As such, she treats today as any other, casually walking through town, picking up a few groceries, and taking her time meandering back to the apartment.

However, something catches her eye, something in an alleyway. She ventures inside; the man she saw inside was definitely familiar, and seeing him so sequestered (by her standards, at least) didn't sit well with her.]

Doctor? Are you alright?
