[009 Video - Don't like this ]

[unweeping_willow]

[There's a deep growl emerging from Willow's throat; though she hasn't transformed. There's something huddled in her arms. The observant viewer might even notice that it's moving, a moment before the golden eyes appear. Though Madame Smudge is trying to look stoic, it's quite clear she does not approve of this situation. Looking close enough, they might even find two more pairs of eyes, their owners hidden in the crooks of willow's arms...

The wooden spikes shooting through the walls - missing by mere centimeters in some cases - doesn't seem to be amusing Willow either. If it doesn't dust her, it might just hit the kittens...

The picture shifts for a moment as Willow is forced to leap -  a pit of spikes apparently beneath her; she almost misses the ledge... except for the serendipitous ledge, allowing her to catch a foothold.]


Don't like this flood.



ooc: since I'm not sure what's happening with vampires and daylight for this flood yet, you should probably assume that this is at night. ^^

[Dammit, he was all ready not give any fucks about this flood. Now he has to go do something.]

Where are you?

[Damn, why must all of his physical abilities be compromised right now? It's not like he wants to hurt people all of the time! Just some of it.]

[unweeping_willow]

Caves... near the pyramids. [She'd been looking for Dracula's cabin - or at least her own - to drop off her kittens - when she got lost...

There's a grunt as she lifts herself up at last, looking about worriedly for more traps. Two more kittens, hidden about her clothes, poke their heads out now...

Unfortunately, as she hasn't seen Drac yet, she's still mothering all three.]

[substandard_parts]

Give me a minute. Hang onto the kitten during it. [Because what the hell. He'll skulk off towards the pyramids WHY ARE THERE EVEN PYRAMIDS HERE!? to go save Willow.]

[unweeping_willow]

[She nods, clutching the kittens warily, and leaning against the wall; no traps there for now.]

Can wait... [Not that she needs to catch her breath, but...]

[substandard_parts]

[It takes him a while, but he eventually makes it. He slips around a corner, keeping his balance very well (that automation wasn't compromised) as he travels along the ledge. Some of the rock is loose, though, and he can't be sure what can give way and what won't.]

*Is alive! I swear it!*

[unweeping_willow]

Careful. [She eyes the rock, worriedly, pointing out a section that looks loose to her.]

[substandard_parts]

[He looks at that one, and then misses another one and slams his hand down on a spike when he starts to fall.

He doesn't look pained, just irritated as he lifts his hand up and examines the hole in it. Then with increased irritation he looks at the pillar next to him. He might have his strength docked, but he can still accomplish some miracles with his ingenuity.]

Get as far over to the side as you can. I'm going to lever this over.

[unweeping_willow]

[She nods, scrambling back against a wall, watching him carefully. She doesn't want him hurt - and she's prepared to move forward if need be.]

[substandard_parts]

[He climbs up that pillar, fingers executing a precise grip on the sides and the pressure with his feet just right. He gets behind it near the top and starts to push out.

It teeters, the bottom slipping as it tilts, and it drops to branch across the ledge.

As it falls, so does he, straight down to land and stand back up straight. He then steps up on the pillar to make sure that it's sturdy enough to cross.]

[nolongerhollow]

[Dracula literally just got back and what Willow sees first is a stack of bags and a couple of cases of True Blood.]

--what?

[The scene refocuses on him. He's wearing a Count Von Count t-shirt under his suit jacket.]

Damn it! All right, I'm coming to you from my side. One of the pair of us should be able to reach you. Then I will find our way back here.

[unweeping_willow]

Not worried about me. [She doesn't want Lore to get over here and find her missing, either...

It's just the kittens.]

[nolongerhollow]

You and the little ones are going to be fine. And once you're out I shall catch fish for all three of them, and all shall be--weird, but well. Also I can show you what I got you.

[unweeping_willow]

You got me something? [She's... surprised.]

[nolongerhollow]

Absolutely. Fear not, I didn't get you anything too extravagant.

[His background blurs, and suddenly there are bats flapping and eeking everywhere around him. He beams.] They're so cute!

Let out a yell and I shall listen for you.

[unweeping_willow]

I think Lore's... are those bats?

[nolongerhollow]

[He's waiting for the batswarm to pass, while one of them dangles amiably from his hand.] Yes they are--fruit bats! Aren't they huge?

[unweeping_willow]

Never seen one before...

Think Lore's coming. Could meet you? [Maybe at your cabin?]

[ichoosefight]

Do you need a hand there? You might want to keep the kittens locked up until this is over.

[unweeping_willow]

Lore and Dracula are coming.

Trying to get them home...

[ichoosefight]

Alright, that's good. If you need an extra pair of hands, just let me know.

[unweeping_willow]

Are you alright?

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, I'm fine. I do stuff like this practically all the time.

[unweeping_willow]

All the time?

[ichoosefight]

It's like a day at the gym, but with more sharp edges. [ Only a few more. Batman did always like a sense of realism. ]

[unweeping_willow]

Must be fun... [She doesn't sound entirely sure though.]
