A Battle In The Nightmare 240828


(A battle in the Nightmare)

[Mon Aug 26 2024]

In the Parking Lot of the Elm Street Apartment Complex

It is morning, about 71F(21C) degrees,

Konstantin steps out from the ether, drawing into focus from the whirling mists of the nightmare's fringe. He presses a finger to the side of his neck with his left hand, raising his right as a fist in a hand signal. "Artyom, lock in on my signal. Insert now."

Jodie(wolf) glances about till she spots her enemy, then she rips out of her clothes to become a shaggy beast already in a full run towards Konstantin

"Oh, it's Jodie," Korina says, spying the wolf in the distance as she shifts and makes a run toward Konstantin. There's a lazy, half-hearted arrow shot Jodie(wolf)'s way, before she lets out a yawn. "President, you shouldn't let dogs come near you."

Konstantin lowers his fists down beside him as a device attached to his armour begins beeping and flashing with soft blue light. "The plan is not to", Konstantin replies to Korina. He focuses his gaze on Jodie(wolf), clearing his lungs with a quick breath out that sends a narrow streak of flame out, scattering the ground between them.

With only one thought in mind, ATTACK, Jodie(wolf) charges across the long space between herself and the pair to the west. The entire way she's likely to be showered with hellfire and arrows. But she has little choice but to try and force a melee..she does in fact smell a bit bad, like a wet dog

There's an eying of the space between Konstantin and Jodie(wolf), and Korina decides she's fine where she is, really. The President doesn't need protection yet. "And I heard you have fleas," she adds.

As Jodie(wolf) comes hurtling towards him, Konstantin presses a button on the side of his armour and with a muted thundercrack jackbooted, ceramic-plated enforcer appears next to him, breaching into the nightmare. In a moment, they take a knee, bringing their rifle to bear. Lungs purged, Konstantin draws in a heavy breath that lifts his chest and warms the air around him before taking one step forwards the throwing back his shoulder, belching an arcing stream of flame towards Jodie(wolf). It scores a path behind her, overshooting at first, but he manages to direct it downwards until it cuts a path across her midsection.

Jodie(wolf) takes a blast to the chest and yelps as the fire singes her shaggy furr. She looks side to side in a panic but there is no escape in the nightmare. She's a cornered animal and so she uselessly presses forward to try and get her teeth on something.

Konstantin looses a hacking cough, reaching up to smear a thick layer of soot from his lips. He spits a small gobbet of tar-like saliva onto the ground, recomposing himself before huffing out a quick burst of hellish strength to keep Jodie(wolf) at bay before clearing his lungs again, gesturing towards Jodie(wolf) with index and middle fingers pointed. jackbooted, ceramic-plated enforcer moves forwards with a barked affirmative, buttstock of their rifle cheeked, rounds flying.

Jodie(wolf) barely made it within spitting distance of Korina, she snarls in fear and frusteration of being shut down by the three projectile spewing humans.

That's okay - Korina(snow leopard) will close the distance. She puts her bow away and leaps towards Jodie(wolf), and she's shifting from human to not so much anymore in the process. Maybe she just wants to see Jodie(wolf) fade out from the nightmare up close. Maybe she's just letting her get a hit in for fun. Who knows?

Konstantin sees Korina(snow leopard) move in close and lifts a hand, making a chopping motion with a flat palm. someone immediately breaks from firing, ejecting his magazine and loading a new one as Konstantin draws in a breath to fill his freshly cleared lungs. Rather than filling them with infernal flame, however, he opts for simply air instead, before drawing on a different infernal potency more innate to himself. The servos of his armour whir into overdrive as he takes three bounding steps before leaping with a roar, landing beside Jodie(wolf) and plunging his blade into her flank with all the momentum of his hurtling frame.
