    Not expected. Not altogether surprising, but not expected, either. At least things will be moderately more interesting this way, though. The scissors are dropped, and a one-handed, knife-size macuahuitl comes out instead. Damn, a knife-macuahuitl?! Where did What get a classy number like that?

    [Philip Memorial Library]

    Xavier and Kirin arrive in the city and head for the library for their research. As they near, Xavier has apparently gotten quite talkative. "I've heard a fair bit about this library, but I've never had the opportunity to visit before now. It sounds like quite a fascinating place. It's really hard to believe I've never made the time. I'm not sure any description I could come up with would do it justice, or be wholly accurate. We will just have to see won't we." Looks like they're here. just a matter of going inside now.

    No, that's just her internal reaction. What just happened? What's going on? What is that? You know, what? General confusion.

    Anyway, Kate takes one look at the obsidian-toothed thing and jumps.

    Straight up, intending to escape via altitude. Once up there she can just fly away, it's not like he can follow her.

    Right?

    Philip Memorial Library

    "I've been in it before. It's creepy. It's really creepy." She does not have the best memories associated with this place... she thinks it might have been coincidence, but if it was not...

    "Oh really? Maybe I should have been more specific earlier, then. Oh well, you didn't need me drilling you for information when we were about to come here anyway." Xavier says with a chuckle. he's a bit to caught up in his own excitement to notice the discomfort Kirin might be displaying. "It sounds like what I've heard might be accurate, then." He comments as he opens the door and steps inside, pausing long enough to hold the door for Kirin to come in behind him.

    "I'll give you, from what I found and what I've heard, that this is probably the best place for what we want," Kirin says, looking around. "But it's creepy."

    A Rubbish Bin

    Not just any rubbish bin mind you, this is one of the higher traffic rubbish bins in the city of Inside. If it's not changed out twice a day by city workers offscreen, it'd be overflowing with trash and unwanted objects in no time.

    A fact that our malleus magnificentum is counting on. Eris fades into view across the street from the trash can, where she'd been casing it all day. Just one of many that she'd taken the time to personally inspect for suitability. This had to be one of the best. Not too upscale a neighborhood, mostly college kids looking to cut corners and live lean. The kind of people who might notice something peeking out of a garbage can and investigate if it were shiny enough.

    Under her arm is one such shiny object. Well, not shiny yet, but that's part of the plan. Stolen from under an author's nose by reaching through the fourth wall, this black, bog-standard looking typewriter was oodles of fun when she first used it, but it seems to have run out of juice to make the kind of broad, sweeping changes that she most enjoys. Time to get rid of the old thing and move on to greater glories.

    Pulling an apple out of thin air, she quickly mashes it into the keys of the typewriter with a wet squelch, engulfing the whole thing in light and coming out the other side of the flash with a shiny new Chrometop miBook. It's last year's model, but that will likely throw off suspicion as to why it's in the trash. People who go for these gadgets rarely keep them after the new one comes out.

    That done, she tucks it under her arm and innocently waltzes up to the trash can, drops the laptop into its slot so that one edge of it sticks out temptingly, and walks off without a care in the world. Whoever finds it, it's bound to cause some mischief without any more effort on her part. Who knows, maybe it'll even be wild enough to catch her attention in a few weeks and remind her that she'd done something with it!

    Probably not though. All that remains is the satisfaction of a mischief well managed.

    The not-really-a-man in a suit doesn't need to follow Kate. He's got his ranged weapon right here, and she's about to find out that getting away from our beloved murdergourd isn't quite as easy as it looks.

    A hammer is hefted up and out of his suit. A very special hammer, that belonged to a very special god. A weapon so blessed, only the worthy can lift it off the ground, much less wield it adequately in a fight. What lifts up his arm so that the legendary Mjolnir might kiss the heavens. There is a great crackling, crashing, hideous bolt of lightning that stabs its way down from up above, which might very well pierce Kate's wings on its way down to the sacred weapon our What Pumpkin has switched to. She better get down her and face him, or he might just do that again.

    There's a girl here. Mousy, scrawny, and in most ways unremarkable. She's been an NPC her entire life, but that's about to change, now isn't it? Her name is Eliise Ellendale, and she's a writer. Not that that means a whole lot, given she just writes odd little stories about the people she meets and the famous individuals in the Nexus. That said, she's broke, and has an older computer that's dying.

    Which is what makes the sight of a working computer in the trash very tempting. She'll look around first, wondering if anybody is paying attention, before picking it up out of the garbage. After a moment to check all the outer components to make sure there's no damage, and being satisfied that it's in good repair, she'll hold it to the front of her denim jacket with a grin. A new computer! Must be fate, right? Fate works like that. Or karma. Karma works too.

    Creepy?

    HA!

    Not all parts of the library are creepy. Some parts of it are just mildly unnerving.

    Like the receptionist there at the front desk, a woman who looks like she get the sanity blasted from her mind. Eyes wide and staring, skin pale and gaunt, white hair slicked back. Certainly not a pleasant sight. She's peering off into oblivion as usual.

    Beyond the front desk is the library proper.

    What are the intrepid seekers of knowledge after?

    ((Yes, I was invited to this scene))

    Overhead, there is an odd buzzing noise. A moment later, four long, segmented, translucent green legs touch the ground and decelerate a woman in Green. With forest green hair and a light green lab coat, her bright blue eyes still stand out somehow. She seems pleased with her landing, and the extra limbs simply disappear. She turns to look at Elise with a smile... it's not clear whether she only just now noticed her or whether she knew she was there the whole time.

    "Hello."

    A Park


    Kate begins falling. The lightning actually makes her pass out for a moment, but when she wakes up she manages to twist and land on her feet.

    However, that's all she can do right now. She suddenly has aches... in her head, her eyes, her arms, her bones. It takes her a moment to work through the sudden haze of pain and back into full awareness.

    Reynard looks over his shoulder at Reynard and Reynard, who shrug at Reynard. Reynard continues to offer the glass, layering more magical suggestions into his soothing words. Do not leave. It is dangerous out there. You are not fine on your own. Stay with us. We will help you.

    Behind the bar, Reynard nudges Reynard to turn up the volume on the sound system. Reynard squints against the bright, painfully white light coming from the windows and door at the front of the building. Since Martyn has his back to the windows, he won't notice something with too many eyes and wings sailing past on a course of fire.
    Martyn doesn't listen to Reynard, he doesn't control his mind like that, Rage does. And I seriously doubt Reynard could sweet talk Rage. Though that thought makes me chuckle.

    Aaanyway, Martyn doesn't see it, but his special senses from Calublufiok allow him to hear juuust fine. He can hear the thing coming even through the sound system, and the first thing he does is fly at it, Powerglove out, attempting to fly at it and punch it with a fist that packs Martyn's natural superstrength plus The Powerglove's superstrength, plus the Mark Two's superstrength. So, in other words... It's probably going to feel that one.

    MDM is allways next to her. he was just a gentleman to open the path for her, something you don't see much today. She will follow silently. there isn't much to say, but obviously she is impressed how easy the plane travel goes.

    And a snakebite to the leg isn't very amusing at all. Except maybe to the snake.

    The young man falls backwards into the dirt with a yell of pain, kicking his leg frantically and batting at the snake in an attempt to dislodge it. Poison hasn't occured yet as a possibility- The pain of those two little teeth cutting through his flesh and muscle is enough to occupy all parts of his mind not shut down in panic.

    What isn't a patient man. Or a patient pumpkin-headed monstrosity thingy, either. He carelessly drop the hammer to the ground, certain that nobody else could possibly hope to steal it, and returns to the macuahuitl knife thing. He lifts the bladed instrument up, and tries to bring it down, before the fog of pain passes. It's time to see if Kate's insides are as wacky and transformation-prone are her outsides.

    What's blade... doesn't cut very deep. Kate's dragon scales protect her from being cut apart, but there is still some wounds. A few of the teeth may even get caught in her flesh, but it's going to take more than that to end her. Kate lashes out, more or less blindly, with her dragon claws. She's fairly strong right now: thanks to being a half-dragon she's about as strong as an Olympic athlete.

    Claws. Not ideal for What's suit. Those tears are going to take quite some time to repair. Hell, it might even be better to just replace this one altogether. There's always going to be another heavy sleeper out there with glass windows, a walk-in closet, and an easily severed head, right?

    What continues swinging with the obsidian-edged weapon, refusing to back off and lick his wounds, or giver Kate room to retreat or get her bearings. He attempts to seize a shoulder of hers with his free hand, limit her defensive options so he'll be in a better position to simultaneously bludgeon and slash the life out of her.

    Reynard waves from the couch to Reynard behind the bar. Reynard passes along a mug of boiling hot Turkish coffee (with a healthy pour of Soma into it for extra strength) from hand to hand to hand until it reaches Rein.
    "They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet
    Quaff immortality and joy."


    Reynard chuckles in amusement and tries to run his fingers through Reinholdt's hair. Come, let us be "Imparadis'd in one another's arms."

    "Dark with excessive bright". Reynard mutters as he winces against the light.

    Reynard tells Reynard what he saw through one of the windows.
    "The other shape,
    If shape it might be call'd that shape had none
    Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb;
    Or substance might be call'd that shadow seem'd,
    For each seem'd either,—black it stood as night,
    Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,
    And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd his head
    The likeness of a kingly crown had on."



    Perhaps you'd like to leave through the basement,
    Reynard asks,
    "Where eldest Night
    And Chaos, ancestors of Nature, hold
    Eternal anarchy amidst the noise
    Of endless wars, and by confusion stand;
    For hot, cold, moist, and dry, four champions fierce,
    Strive here for mast'ry."


    The thing with too many wings is long gone by the time Martyn turns around, but as he looks out the window he can see another being, floating in a bright, empty void that definitely does not resemble Inside. It is four wheels, two nestled inside the other two, all covered in eyes and on fire. Martyn would have to leave the building in order to attack that one, but something about that bright light outside should be screaming to his self-preservation instincts. If he has any. So the question is: Does Martyn stay in the building or does he step out of it?

    "Who overcomes
    By force, hath overcome but half his foe."

    Reynard pedagogically lectures to Reynard, Reynard, and Reynard.
    "Long is the way
    And hard, that out of Hell leads up to Light."


    "Such joy ambition finds." "The hell within him." and "A heaven on earth." You must "Awake, arise, or be for ever fall'n."
    Reynard pipes up. And execute their hairy porpoises!
    Reynard sighs at Reynard. It's "Execute their airy purposes." you idiot.

    Okay, no.

    Kate's adrenaline suddenly starts working for her, and she turns oh her energy field. What will probably find it unpleasantly burning the hand he was trying to grab her with.

    In addition, Kate gives the ground a stomp that sends her flying backwards a bit and sprays some dirt. This is mainly to give her some breathing space, a moment to compose herself and bring up the crosshair on her third arm's energy weapon. Also, she activates her built-in blade. If this thing won't let her escape, then-Is that Mjolnir? Why-no no ponder it later. If she can't escape then she's going to have to fight!

    She suppresses the urge to panic.

    Fab had been having one hell of a rough day before he entered the saloon. Even through the stress and running away from his fans though, he still looked...Fab-ulous. Now he just needed to feel like it.

    So, where else was better than at his boyfriend's Salon?

    Fab is a great tall man, easily six and a half feet in height with hip length luscious blonde hair and muscles so toned they look artificial. Not to mention his absolutely breathtaking smile and angelic face. The Magazine Nexusmopolitan's leading male model was all real though.

    Entering the Salon, Fab locked the door behind him and flipped the sign to "Closed" before pulling the shade down over it, hoping to hide is presence from the adoring fans that had chased him down the street. Once done, he leans against the door, ear pressed against it, and once the sound of dozens of feet sprinting past fades, he sighs in relaxation before heading over to his boyfriend, Brightclaws, to drape himself in the Wolfen's arms.

    "I might have tiger's blood and the DNA of Adonis, but by all the Gods, save me from the fangirls! They're gonna kill me!" He exclaims exasperatedly. "If I got tossed to them, they'd tear me to pieces! Sure, I wouldn't mind a few of the fanboys in my early days before I met you, but still! And work is even worse! 'Here, put this on.' 'No, try this.' 'No, wear this Freudian Slip.' Ugh! Thank the gods for the nude shots!"

    In hiding. Always hiding.

    Taberna Lavernalis

    Reinholdt drinks heavily from the coffee. Eve this isn't enough to deal with this right now. Why on earth did he stop drinking again? Rum would make this all so much more bearable.

    It's like... Calublufiok with his old dimension hopping, but with less endless void and more modern day cthulhu horror poetry readings. And...

    Oh wait. There was some sort of question there amongst the far too friendly hair ruffling. No wait. Not a question. An order? Gah. It'd help if Rein knew what that word meant. As if anything has meaning in this realm. "... If that is your wish." Rein just hopes it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

    Taberna Lavernalis

    Martyn twitches as he turns to face the thing and hears Tobias chanting something. This was about to get very bad. He could tell... So, Martyn begins chanting himself, channeling his and the demon's potent Black Magic. 1 Dies iræ! Dies illa Solvet sæclum in favilla Teste David *** Sibylla! (Day of wrath and doom impending, David’s word with Sibyl’s blending, Heaven and earth in ashes ending! The day of wrath, that day will dissolve the world in ashes as foretold by David and the Sibyl!)

    Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando iudex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus!

    (Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth. How much tremor there will be, when the Judge will come, investigating everything strictly!)

    Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.

    (Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth;
    All before the throne it bringeth. The trumpet, scattering a wondrous sound through the sepulchres of the regions, will summon all before the Throne.)

    Mors stupebit, et natura, *** resurget creatura, Iudicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur,Unde mundus iudicetur.

    (Death is struck, and nature quaking,
    All creation is awaking,
    To its Judge an answer making. Death and nature will marvel,
    when the creature arises,
    to respond to the Judge.)


    I AM DEATH!

    At Martyn's last shout, waves of powerful Hellfire will begin to burst fout from him in a twenty degree wave. That might damage Reynard, Reynard, Reynard, Reynard, and Reinholdt. (However man Reynard's there are.) Next, in a forty foot wave, Black Magic summoned from the darkest pit of Rage's domain bursts out, the pure demonic magic will attempt to cause the ground to dry out, the wood to fall apart, and any living matter to shrivel up. It also will envelope everywhere around Martyn in that forty foot wave in an inky black and poisonous cloud. The final effect is that Martyn places his two hands together, and a beam of what can only be described as pure evil will launch at the white thing, attempting to corrupt and destroy it.

    While the wicked are confounded,
    Doomed to flames of woe unbounded call me with thy saints surrounded. Once the cursed have been rebuked, sentenced to acrid flames: Call Thou me with the blessèd.

    Taberna Lavernalis

    Tobias isn't here and nobody is chanting, only reciting. Do you not understand what is going on?

    "So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,
    Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost.
    Evil, be thou my good."

    Reynard embraces Reinholdt and leans in to kiss him as the entire building falls apart and they are consumed by Hellfire.
    "The mind is its own place, and in itself
    Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n."


    Martyn destroys the Taberna Lavernalis, and with it his protection. Now he is stranded in Heaven, surrounded by inhuman, positive energy. If all the archdevils of Hell were to appear in this place like Martyn did, they would be ripped apart by the Holy Power. No mortal man should be able to survive this, much less a demon with delusions of power. Countless Ophanim, Cherubim, and Seraphim surround Martyn, bearing down on him with the Aweful and Terrible Might of God. His beam of pure evil is but a candle in an ocean of pure Good. And as he realizes that there is no escape from this doom he chose for himself, Reynard's mocking voice sings in his ear one last time.

    "Pie Iesu Domine,
    dona eis requiem. Amen."
    “Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores
    iactatam hac demum voluit consistere terra.
    Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco.”

    Heaven?

    Well, Martyn's dead. He can't do anything here to prevent this, but attempt to teleport away by sending himself back to Earth, if he can. The power and holy energy is splitting him from Rage, which would not kill Marty immediately. But you can see he's starting to be exorcised, as his body is twisting and he's shouting in pain. He'll attempt to teleport away.

    "Sorry." Fab says with a small sigh as he heads back to the door to reopen the place now that the fans are gone. "If you could give me that heavenly treatment you do with my hair and face, it'd really calm my jittery nerves." He says with a small frown as he holds up his hand to show that his perfectly trimmed nails are trembling ever so little.

    Brightclaws says, then comes close to Fab, eagerly sniffing his hair and face. "You... smell... divine."

    Fab sighs happily and relaxes into Brightclaws' arms. "Thank you. And you feel as wonderful as ever." He says with a sly smile. "It might just be you doing it, but I feel relaxed already by the atmosphere."

    This fight (for that's what it is now, an actual fight instead of the originally predicted execution) is getting all the more interesting with every passing moment. Should've been over sooner, but our murderous monster underestimated his victim. Man, What really needs to stop being so goddamn lenient with his targets, lest he get something really interesting next time. He picks up the hammer, now wielding the primitive blade and divine bludgeon simultaneously, the smell of burnt leather still clinging to the hammer-hand Kate had electrocuted. What Pumpkin patiently approaches Ms. Kyland once more, Mjolnir's lightning cackling in anticipation as he runs towards his prey.
