Heridfel Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Kevin sees the tentacles starting to wrap around someone else on the fire escape, and he takes a deep breath. That guy had been trying to help the woman as well, he thought, so he has to give him the best chance possible to resist whatever that thing up there is. He sprints up the stairs, running as fast as he can. He's within sight of the guy now, and he reaches deep down within himself to help make him stronger, tougher... better in a fight.

Uninverted Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 (Grapple: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1473985/ Notice: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1473990/) After being unexpectedly grabbed by his opponent, Michael actually did relatively well. He matched Lop Nar move for move, but when he saw the woman coming towards them, he became a little worried. Out of nowhere though, he suddenly became stronger, smarter, and more perceptive (the last one was no mean feat). He looked over and saw someone else running up the fire escape towards them. This was getting weirder and weirder. But he soon made the connection between his increased abilities and the stranger, and was glad for the help. He though of another use for the approaching ally's aid. He took another look at the tentacles on his opponent's back, and got so close to using them, but couldn't.

flashedarling Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 The tentacles touching Michael suddenly felt cold and sticky. Very cold indeed and the skin in contact with them starts to turn white from lack of blood. As if they it was trying to draw the very life from him. The woman throws a kick at him "Why don't you go grab us something from the kitchen?" says the man in black and the woman runs towards the kitchen.

Heridfel Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Kevin is panting hard as he continues up the fire escape. Stopping in the middle to help the guy might have been the right thing to do from a hero perspective, but it threw off his rhythm and let his body realize how tiring running up 13 flights of stairs really is. He finally gets to the same floor as the tentacles were coming from, and he puts his hands on his knees as he looks inside. If he hadn't already been breathless, he would have been driven speechless by the sight of the roiling black mass, holding onto the guy that he tried to help. Reaching down within himself, he shakes off his fatigue. It looks like he'll have to try to help pull him out, and there's no time for giving into weakness against a creature like that.

He saw his arm freeze and stick to itself, but he shrugged it off. He had seen it happen, and got a thorough understanding of it's mechanics. He smiled, and grabbed his opponent's arm. He tried to suck the life out of it, just as he had almost done to him.

flashedarling Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 At first an expression of shock spreads across the strangers face it quickly turns into annoyance. "I see you learn quick boy. Let's see how quickly you learn how to fly." As he hurls the boy out of the broken window. Out of the corner of his eye he glances the figure still watching him. "Blast this city, everyone thinks it's their job to be a hero!" As his victim runs out of the kitchen with a cleaver he bellows "Clearly seeing first hand was not enough, give him a personal taste of what it means to be a hero!" The woman charges like a berserker down the hall at the man waiting by the stairs.

Heridfel Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Kevin manages (not entirely by accident) to be in the way when the alien thing tries to throw the other guy out the window. It does mean that he's knocked back into the wall from the force of the collision, but he isn't hurt. That means that he has time to react to the woman coming at him with a knife. He has to stop her from doing something she might regret later... and that he might regret now. He stays near the other man, who might be more hurt than he is, and tries to take the knife out of her hands. "Beats all the things who think they need to be villains!" he shouts as he struggles with the woman for the knife.

"Really helpful" he added, picking up a table from across the room and throwing it at Lop Nar.
