Lennys Nightmare Battle With Lucien 250128


(Lenny's nightmare battle with Lucien)

[Mon Jan 27 2025]

In a hallway
Various photographs of large sailing vessels line the hall with two large landscapes centered on either side of the space. The first to the north depicts a vivid painting of Haven's bay, while on the southern side is a depiction of an old suspention bridge at twilight. A small night light is plugged into an outlet, casting dim light for those late night trips through the apartment.

It is about 50F(10C) degrees.

"Yooo." Lenny calls out into the nightmare in a way to try and produce an echo. But there is no echo, all the sound just disappears into nothing after a short distance

Kitsune casually pulls up their hood after arrival, then nods to Lucien. They flash a canine-baring grin then offer a wink of one amber eye.

Lenny upnods someone and says, "Been a long fuckin time since I wasn't alone in one of these."

Lenny upnods Cara and says, "Been a long fuckin time since I wasn't alone in one of these."

Lucien nods to Kitsune, looking around at the depths of the nightmare surrounding them, silent as he waits.

Appearing out of the void Cara nods aside to Lenny. "We've a duty to look after each other." She asserts in gentle tones.

"You got any grenades yeah? Don't throw the neutralizers at me. They disable implants too and make me fuckin' shit." Lenny informs someone casually as if they are just going to order some Mcdonalds and he doesn't want cream in his coffee

"You got any grenades yeah? Don't throw the neutralizers at me. They disable implants too and make me fuckin' shit." Lenny informs Cara casually as if they are just going to order some Mcdonalds and he doesn't want cream in his coffee

Cara nods the affirmative, cracking a thumbs up and displaying the contents of a rifle case and the assault pouches she is wearing. "Any tricks up your sleeve I should be backing?"

"If I can figure out who we are facin' I probably have the right bullet to counter them." Lenny says with a shrug, "Or just, nades."

Lenny says "For whatever reason my fuckin' gas mask never comes with me"
"I was about to settle down for a packed lunch." Cara grumbles through her gas mask. "Noted. I'm shaking some rust off. Hopefully I don't make any boneheaded moves."

Lucien turns, firing off an arrow towards Lenny's location, it goes wide with a sharp 'twang' as the arrow zips through the air of the nightmare's depths.

Lenny moves back from the pair of enemies, popping the robed figure with his pistol and his tranq pistol akimbo style, "Eat this." he says like he's in a B action movie.

Kitsune is fast, but tranq darts certainly diminish that a little. When Lenny goes to shoot at Kitsune, they simply crouch and launch themselves toward Cara. As they travel, spectral foxtails appear behind them, nine in total. Each of those tails is tipped in pure white, and they flick toward Lenny, sending hauntingly white, ghost-like energy toward him. They flash their amber eyes toward Cara and sniff the air before giving her a canine-baring grin. Their left arm remains rested upon the handle of their katana for the moment.

Breath rasping through her gas mask Cara follows Lenny's lead, loading a tranq round into her underslung grenade launcher and backpedaling before firing a round off into Lucien. A burst from her weapons main barrel follows directed at Kitsune. She seems far less vocal than her companion, all military discipline and quickly snapped off drills.

Kitsune finishes covering the distance to Cara just after the dart goes toward Lucien and shots get fired toward them from a rifle. "Always with bullets," they remark with a shake of their head, despite the mirth in their voice. Kitsune stops just shy of Cara and draws their katana for a precise, lightning-fast strike. They then continue around her in a twirling dance of foot movement as they sheath the blade, perhaps hoping the first strike would have been enough to finish her, save the fact it encounters a weapon in the way.

The impact of sword against the kukri Cara only just manages to pull in time sends up an almighty clang in the dark space of the void, Cara's metal blade sending a tremello note warbling into the room as it bounces into Cara's side and doubtlessly jars her arm emote The impact of sword against the kukri Cara only just manages to pull in time sends up an almighty clang in the dark space of the void, Cara's metal blade sending a tremello note warbling into the room as it bounces into Cara's side and doubtlessly jars her arm. A clumsy swing is sent back at Kitsune with the brutish blade then Cara sidesteps the few spaces to Lenny's side.

Lenny moves to step in front of Cara to shield her from the next attack, while there he shoots past Kitsune to pop a shot off at Lucien

Lucien sets himself, nocking another arrow before drawing back his bowstring, sights set on Cara as Kitsune engages with the armour-clad combatant. He maintains his distance, reaching up to pull the tranquilizer dart lodged in his shoulder out and tossing it to the ground. "Typical," the black-haired man sounds annoyed as he lets loose another arrow at the pistol-toting creep who steps in to block his shot while raising a pistol. Shots pop off around Lucien, kicking up a spray of dust.

Kitsune is starting to recover from the tranq dart themself with a quick gekker-like noise voiced toward Lucien in agreement. With both Lenny and Cara focusing on staying back to back, Kitsune follows suit, drawing their katana once more, only this time, they grip it with both hands and make a flurry of attacks, from a dozen angles, each with the express purpose of getting past Lenny to also hit Cara. When they finally slow back down, they square off with Lenny, poised in a stance that resembles what might be used in Japan, one foot back, one forward, slightly crouched, with the blade vertical in fromt of them held at waist level.

Uttering a grunt of gratitude to Lenny's intervention whilst she's on the back foot Cara starts to work around the fight in close quarters with her compatriot, keeping the blade in her right hand whilst the rifle is still held in the left hand ready to be shouldered at a moment's notice. Bullets have failed her so Cara decides to rely on the next modern parlor trick the world has offered the mere mortals to defend themselves with. She swings her kukri at Kitsune, but this time rather than aiming to chop she feints and backswings, pressing a button in the side of it to zap Kitsune with a shocking amount of electricity.

Lenny does not have the finesse that Kitsune might have with his katana. His machete is more of a blunt instrument that attempts to bash, just as much as chop through Kitsune's guard and take him down. He has a crazed look in his eye as he's swinging. "Come on whats wrong? Can't hit harder than that?!"
