Battle With It 240301

Under the waning gibbous moon and amidst the chilling winds of an after-dusk evening, Meridith finds herself outside the Haven Post Office, a scenic yet eerily quiet location. Her call for assistance is immediately met with the grotesque appearance of "It," a creature of nightmares with numerous hands and mouths, its form a mass of flesh that moves with an unsettling intent towards her. Meridith, gripped by fear, confronts the creature, her voice shaking as she questions the nature of this monstrous being. "It" fixates on her with a sinister fascination, its many voices snarling about her "pretty eyes," a phrase it repeats as it draws ominously closer, its body quivering in anticipation of the dread it aims to instill.

As the situation escalates, Meridith's attempt to defend herself with her blade proves futile against the creature's hideous form. Panicked and desperate, she retreats, her blade still in hand, but "It" is relentless. Employing its many limbs to maneuver through the dark surroundings, "It" continues its pursuit, launching arrows and missiles in her direction while eerily chanting about her "pretty eyes." At a pivotal moment, filled with regret and a newfound resolve, Meridith stops her flight. Turning to face the horror that stalks her, she channels her fear into anger and launches an offensive against the creature, her howl piercing the night as she confronts her nightmare head-on, determined to overcome the terror it represents.

[Wed Feb 28 2024]

In front of the Entrance to the [Haven|Post Office]
This sidewalk is pristine. The cement walkway is flanked by grass a lush
shade of green, perfectly cut in a line, and two small fenced in gardens
bearing pansies make the path rather scenic. Two cast-iron antique
street-lanterns stand here, lighting the way at night, and built-in
sprinklers keep the grounds low-maintenance. A large edifice has been
constructed of stone with gray mortar. Windows rest to either side of the
double doors and a single step rests before this building. A large
cream-colored sign shows the words: United States Post Office. White trim
surrounds all of the windows.

It is after dusk, about 37F(2C) degrees, and there are a few dark grey stormclouds in the sky. There is a waning gibbous moon.

Meridith says "Need a hand!"
Meridith says "At haven post office"
There's a terrible gurgling sound from It as it charges towards Meridith, it's many hands reaching out for her!

Meridith says "Nightmare "
Meridith takes a deep breath, shuddering in fear as she gazes upon this creature. "What are you...? How are you...?"

"Such pretty eyes." It many mouths snarl in unison as too many legs carry the terrible mass of flesh closer and closer yet to someone.

Meridith says "GREAT HARRIET, GOOD TO KNOW!"
It drags itself closer and closer toward someone, quivering and shaking with excitement. It's many mouths begin to drool, spittle running over it's hideous body.

Meridith panicks as her blade slashes down and does almost nothing. She cries out. "No! No! Get BACK!" she cries.

Meridith breaks into a sprint away from the thing, blade held still.

It continues to drag itself after Meridith, hands clutching at the nightmarish buildings around it to pull itself toward her. While other hands operate many different bows, firing arrows and missiles toward her all the while. "Pretty eyes! Pretty eyes!" The creature gurgles.

Meridith says "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I really just wanted to help..."
Meridith stomps her feet into the ground and pivots. She lets out a howl and turns, launching herself at the beast.
