[Event] Invasion!

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 registered the grip on his arm for a few seconds and it was enough time for a familiar feeling of concern to wash over him, settling his formerly chaotic thoughts and emotions for once. As he looked down he finally noticed the stains on the other's boots and he actually had to wonder if Barnaby would be irritated about getting them cleaned up after all of this was over.

That casual thought made it feel as if, aside from a few hoards of deadly giant insects, nothing was really wrong. They could handle all of this, right? They were heroes. A few insects were nothing, especially now that Barnaby had found him and as he settled down more and more.

But it was only a temporary relief as the demand made him anxious all over again and he attempted to tug away from Barnaby's grip.

"Back? You mean like, back to the apartment? No, no no, Bunny what are you thinking? We can't go back right now! Have you seen how everything is? There's bugs everywhere and there's these-- they're like p-people, but..." His voice wavered oddly as he stumbled over how to explain the not quite alive but not quite dead figures looming around. He didn't want to say what they were. He knew what they were but he didn't want to say it because it made his stomach twist into knots and the hair at his neck to stand up on end and that familiar woman's face flashed over his eyes once more, causing Kotetsu to fall back into a thinly veiled panic again as he shook his head.

"No, no we're not going back. We can't go back right now. I-- We have to, we have to go... we have to help, we have to go look..."
