It’s The End of the World as We Know It

[redlightgreenlight]

Who: Tiamat(Valdis), Clarke, The Captain and Skulduggery
What: The Beginning of the End Part 2
When: February
Where: The Bridge at Dawn
Warnings: Potential violence



After all that, waiting until dawn seems like little consequence. But wait she does, though she can’t help but send a little taunt to a particular party before making her way up to the bridge. The sun rises just over the edge of the water, the stars beginning to fade from view. She can sense Clarke not far behind, and the Skeleton must be here somewhere, though maybe they will get lucky and he’s elsewhere. Tiamat leans against the railing to look out over the realm a scared little child created, musing over the various outcomes of what is about to happen. Even if the Captain knows who she is, he’d entertained her before, there’s no reason to suspect he won’t now.

“Oh, Captain,” she says, still watching the sun come up. “Care to watch the sunrise with me?”

[That does prompt momentary surprise, and her heart breaks all over again. Oh, Natsuno. She has to do everything she can to keep him, and everyone they care about, out of this new and horrible prison. She reaches up to his arms, giving them a squeeze with her hands, before taking a deep breath--as much to ready herself for the magic as it is to tamp down some of the emotion that threatens to spill out.]

Okay...here we go.

[They lift gently into the air, hovering just a few inches off the deck at first. Satisfied that the levitation magic is working, she tightens her focus to the freighter. Up, up, over the deck railing, then into mostly-open air--sticking just beneath the gangplank to hide their approach, but now with nothing but the water far below. She'll steadily propel them forwards and up, following the gangplank to the freighter. Further, further, ignore how much magic she's using, they have to get all the way there and she's not going to break her focus until there's something solid under their feet where they can land.

She does keep her fingers squeezed tight over his arms, though.]

[they do land on the ship.

only to be faced with the two men from before, staring at them. one assumes? they clearly are still seeing something for all their eyes are covered by large buttons sewed into their skin.]

[neverleave]

[That's creepy as hell, but he doesn't have time to freak out. They need to get past these too while Malin is occupied on board.

Natsuno's eyes flash red as he breaks into a supernaturally fast dash. If these guys are flesh and blood, he can feed on them, and if he can't - it's best if they hit him first. He regenerates and Rita needs time to cast.]

[Ostensibly Rita shouldn't have time to freak out either, but-]

What the hell--ew! Are those buttons--on their eyes?!

[what the hell what the hell what the hell ewewew gross creepy that better not be what that slimy old biddy has in store for them]
