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~."

Right, then we should continue moving up.

[Well, in a moment. First, a few of the humans comes to pet her. It helps them calm down in the moment as her ability extends to them as well.]

[Psii knows has nothing to do with Amaterasu's ability, but still feels proud of how she can help humans. And he is part of why hallway is clear now.]

Humans seem to find you irresistible to pet.

[motherofthesun]

Interacting with an animal eases their anxiety. And it also might be Calming Wavelength.

[00110010_00110011]

Would you mind if petted when am in usual hardware again?

[For now, is thinking ahead, trying to sense clowns on upper levels. Nothing is in range yet.]

[motherofthesun]

Hehe, you may.

[She doesn't know why he hasn't asked sooner. Anyway, she has to move away from the humans and start heading up.] Can you sense anything?

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii's even more hesitant to initiate contact than he is to accept it when offered.]

Thank you.

Feel several clowns, but they're not near landing.

[motherofthesun]

Hm... Alright, we'll find them and flush them out so we have more room to fight them.

[00110010_00110011]

[He reaches out with mind as they get closer, still getting feel for how Weapon senses work.]

One is just behind first door.

[motherofthesun]

I'll pay for a new door then.

[Because she's charging through.]

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii charges up power, ready to let it loose as soon as she needs it. This clown is silver, and is rearranging body to something with crude horns. Psii would be tempted to growl, if were in usual hardware.]

Take it down.

[motherofthesun]

[Well, the horns were stuck on the door. Not her problem as she pushed the clown back into a wall.]

Got it! [Paws still holding the door, it was just a matter of blasting it and squishing the egg.]
