EVENT: The Attack of the Clowns

[soul_mods]

Early in the morning, those who had brought one back would find the bird keychains they brought back from their trip to that skii resort doing something...strange. The small eyes on the things started pulsing with a faint light that might go unnoticed at first. It doesn't stop though, and keeps right on pulsing for the rest of the morning.

Shortly, before noon, the light stops pulsing and shines bright enough to be uncomfortable.

Two things happen at once when it does.

One of these things is this: within a 50 meter radius of every keychain, strange ripples appear in the ground. From these ripples, something that is barely humanoid in shape slowly ascend. Their colours range from red to silver to yellow to purple. When they've materialized all the way, the Clowns immediately spring into action, attacking anyone nearby and, if there is no one, move in whatever direction they were facing, seeking victims.

The other thing that happens is a voice, young, lilting and feminine, being projected through the keychains.

""Thank you for all that you have done: none of this would have been possible without your contributions. I would thank you all in person except I don't believe I am really welcome here. Which is a pity as I hadn't gotten to meet all of my lovely victims the first time around. Please accept these children as a token of my appreciation instead. They are a little, ah, crude, but I do hope you will all play nicely~."

Bakura could be hardly called a bystander the way he kept dodging in and out of the chaos with a manic grin on his face, and the knife that left bleeding gashes on friend and foe alike whenever they came too close would have ruined even the most well-intended attempts of calling him innocent.

However, this didn't mean that he appreciated being almost suddenly set on fire from above or as much as thought that it'd be okay. "What the fuck?!" The thief had barely the time to jump to the side and towards the Condominiums' entrance before more bottles came running down and spewed what seemed to be burning blood at the first moment.

"Is that- Wine?!" Bakura stared at the most decadent Molotov cocktails that he had ever seen - for that was what they had to be - before he stared upward to where they were coming from Nanami's place. Of course. What was he thinking to assume that it could be anybody else. "What the hell is she thinking this time again?!"

Abandoning his plans to make it towards Shibusen, Bakura started to ring her doorbell furiously.

At first, Nanami only vaguely recognized the sound of a doorbell. She was still out on the balcony and the sound of the chaos below was mostly drowning it out. It wasn't until she reentered her apartment for more supplies that she registered the ringing properly.

She got close to the door but with more important things to do like collect more wine bottles she called out, "A little busy right now, come back later!"

[feelsgoodinyou]

"Screw you being busy! Let me in or I'll bust the damn door down!!" His voice drifted in with only the barest hint of an angry shriek although he was clearly more than just pissed by now. The smoke was irritating him and the general bloodshed and chaos made him want to participate in it more and more.

But not while this crazy idiot might drop a flaming piano on his head next time!

[morecowbell]

The girl flinched at the voice coming through the door. She inched toward it and looked through the peep hole. "N...no freaking way! You look like you're going to maim me the second I open this door." The hell was his problem anyway?

[feelsgoodinyou]

He waited until he could feel her soul right next to the door before he slammed his fist against it with all his might. "You bet I do! First a flower pot and an umbrella, now a molotov cocktail!! What's next, a freaking anvil with a bomb strapped to it for good measure?! I'm gonna show you how to aim and kill properly, you lose canon!"

[morecowbell]

"What the hell are you even talking about?" Proper language be damned, it was time to find a heavy piece of furniture to drag in front of the door. She hadn't quite connected the dots in her panic. Where was a bookshelf when you needed one? Maaaan there was nothing in the apartment to shove down that tiny entrance way... no maybe a couch would fit sideways...

[feelsgoodinyou]

"That you keep almost dropping stuff on my head instead of those monsters!" Screw courtesy, he was going to pry that damn lock open now. He wasn't a thief for nothing!

[morecowbell]

The former student council president had already started shoving the couch past the kitchen and was headed for the entry way. "Well stop walking where things are falling!"

[feelsgoodinyou]

"How the hell can I do that when it apparently doesn't matter where the hell I go?! Should I glue myself to your back or what?!" Fifty more seconds and he would be in.

[morecowbell]

"Just stop walking under my balcony, it's not my fault it has the best vantage point to take out the enemy!"

Nanami wedged the count into the entryway past the kitchen before it stuck. How did the moving guys get it in there in the first place. She frantically looked for how to get it down the small hallway in front of the door to block it, tilt it, perhaps? But the couch was too heavy for her to lift that way on her own.
