[Event] Invasion!

[soul_mods]

Characters: OPEN to everyone!
Location: All over Death City
Rating: Various
Time: February 2nd
Description: Witches have invaded and are attacking the city!

The attack, when it comes, happens quickly enough that Death City would have been caught flat-footed had there been no prior warning, but it's not completely unexpected because of the city's heightened state of alarm the past day. Warning sirens start sounding to alert the citizens and guests the moment a dark, slow-moving mass out in the desert to the south-east of Death City is spotted by Shibusen sentries. There's even time for civilians to run and hide before the mass is identified as an army of what looks like decaying, shambling corpses. The city's defenders are slow to move, however; most of them are distracted and are having trouble dealing with the black blood in their bodies. While agents are gathering to head out to deal with the zombie threat, that's when the witches make their move.

Portals begin opening in the skies above the city, disgorging hideous familiars: bulbous spiders and leggy ants the size of dogs. They drop hundreds of feet down into the streets and alleyways of Death City, and scuttle off in search of victims. The spiders are poisonous and can spin copious amounts of web to capture their targets, the ants spit acid that cause agonizing, paralyzing pain. Their masters bear down on the city in a cloud of black shadows--massive ravens strong enough to carry off adult men. There are five witches, women on broomsticks, beautiful if not for their crazed grins and obvious glee at the chaos descending upon the city. At some unknown signal--maybe the cackling from a couple of them--they dive in concert and disappear into different areas of the city.

Their masterful plan has begun!

He smiles at Yuuri. "My injuries are not serious... and not caused by the insects, that they are not, so they are not poisonous." He's tired, dehydrated from refusing to drink any more water after managing to expel the black blood from his system the day before, has both guilt and worry weighing on his mind, but the important thing is that he has the strength to keep protecting people before him, one at a time. And he will always have that strength. "Were you with anyone?"

"Thank goodness!" Yuuri felt a wave of relief wash over him when it seemed that Kenshin was fine. He was definitely glad to hear that! At his friend's question, the young Maou shook his head before he said, "I was trying to find where my partner was, but then got attack."

"Who is your partner?" Kenshin has run across a number of people in his search through the city for Kaoru—there's a chance, though slim, that he might be able to help point Yuuri in the general direction he needs. "He or she should not be alone either, that he should not..."

"Teresa," he said as if everyone should know her. It didn't even enter his mind that someone might not. "She's a great fighter, but you're right, she shouldn't be alone at all." Given that, no one should be fighting alone, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of panic within at the thought of Teresa getting injured without him there to help protect her.

Shaking his head, he glanced back at Kenshin. "I'll be able to find her though. I'm sure that you've got someone you're looking for yourself, right?"
