A Battle In The Nightmare 240810


(A battle in the Nightmare)

[Fri Aug 9 2024]

At the mostly empty lot in front of Dionysus Liquor
This concrete-paved lot in front of the liquor store is mostly empty, save the couple of plastic chairs near the entrance and an abandoned stall near the red brick wall to the east. The entire plot is rather dirty just like the rest of this district, but relatively free of trash. The building that this lot happens to be in front of seems to be a rather poorly maintained red brick building.

The large, rickety business sign above the double metal doors to the north reads:
"Dionysus Liquor"

It is afternoon, about 72F(22C) degrees, and the sky is covered by dark grey stormclouds. It's raining.

Konstantin says "Time to make some friends, hm?"
Jodie sniffs the air nearly silent, then she shifts her footing and some rustling of armor can be heard. Eventually she breaks her silence, "Yep."

Konstantin says "Hm. Let's see. Jodie?"
Jodie says "Good guess"
Konstantin says "Eh, it's the voice. "
Konstantin presses a finger to the side of his neck, murmuring something softly as he eyes Jodie in the distance. He calls out afterwards with an upnod; "Been a while!"

"Incredibly sexy and alluring. I know." Jodie says in a deadpan, smokers voice that is just a shade better than sandpaper. She wheels till she finds Konstantin in the distance, "Yeah."

Konstantin steps forward a couple of paces, inhaling heavily, before breathing out a heavy dose of sulphurous smog in greeting, spattering someone' path. He wipes his mouth afterwards with the back of a hand, settling back into a ready stance. "Not what I was thinking.. But sure."

Jodie moves as quickly as she can towards Konstantin, dodging hellfire and electing not to fire back with anything. Not even words.

Konstantin presses a finger to his neck again as one thug turns up, rifle ready. It seems he wont be taking this fight alone. Turning, he acknowledges the newcomer with a nod before flicking a finger towards someone. "I was wondering when I might see you on operation.. a little one on one time is nice thought.. but I don't do fair fighting."

Jodie(wolf) decides not to fight on two feet, but instead four. She snarls as she burst out of her clothes and rushes quickly at Konstantin and jackbooted, balaclava-wearing enforcer with fury in her eyes

Konstantin backpedals, moving with unerring swiftness suddenly as he heaves in a deep breath that makes his chest rise. With a roaring crackle and a jet of flame, Konstantin belches cinder and smoke at Jodie(wolf), trying to stave off the approach

Jodie(wolf) rushes for Konstantin but as she falls just short of him, the enforcer is under foot and so she bats at the guard with her paw.

Konstantin skips back, letting his goons step in as he veers backwards away from Jodie(wolf), spattering flame all the way.

Jodie(wolf) snarls in irritation when a second enforcer arrives making the fight increasingly unfavorable for her. She intends to rely on brute strength and guns for Konstantin to try and take him out

Konstantin lurches backwards and away from the three of them, again employing that hellish flame. Were it not for the non-physical nature of the battle, it'd be sure to leave Jodie(wolf) stinking of sulphur and brimstone; his burning effluvium just missing her with the bulk of its flame

Jodie(wolf) brushes off the incoming fire and bullets. She's nearly rabid and drooling as she tries to snap at Konstantin's face with her jaws. Her considerable bulk is hard to miss yet still she's gotten lucky so far.

Always the one to do the manly thing, Konstantin. turns and runs! He ducks the snapping jaws, enjoying a little of his own luck and perhaps employing a little force shielding in the process to slow the bite at the last moment. He calls out back; "Werewolves! Never good for the conversation."

in frusteration Jodie(wolf) roars when she can't keep up with Konstantin who may not over power her directly. But is very likely going to out play her tactically.

Konstantin seems to be banking on it. He JUST manages to keep distance, Jodie(wolf) hot on his heels as he skirts her assault while the trademark Hand Goons tear at her with rifle-fire. He breathes heavily, trailing smoke from his mouth as he goes.

With her last burst of energy Jodie(wolf) pounces onto the man's back and bites down hard on his shoulder, there is a crunch but then Konstantin disappears relatively unharmed from the battle. The wolf is likely going down within moments..but a Pyhrric victory is a victory.

Konstantin fades out of the nightmare.

Jodie(wolf) fades out of the nightmare.
