Warehouse District, Saturday Night
The fight between the new Fandom-folk and some of the biggest bosses on the island had disturbed something. That was Kathy's best guess for why there were more hollows out tonight than normal--that, or they'd realized the glut of new people led to easy pickings. Kathy had had to change direction multiple times to avoid hollows prowling about looking for an easy meal. She ducked into the burned out remains of one of the old stores to let another go by, keeping her head down to avoid being spotted by a creature that looked like it was made of...knives and shattered glass?
Once it had passed, every step it took chiming gently in the night, she snuck out and continued on her way, scurrying along as fast as she could without making herself cry out in pain. But maybe she was less sneaky than she thought or the glass hollow had better senses than she'd assumed, because she soon found herself being chased by something that could shred the flesh from her very bones.
She stumbled on a bit of trash, hit the ground with force enough to jar her legs from the kneecaps down, and pushed herself back up to stagger forward on unsteady limbs. Soon enough, she'd have to turn around and fight; she wasn't running fast enough to get away. But maybe, just maybe, she could find a decent place to make a last stand?
This wasn't going to end well. But, hey, at least she wasn't going to go hollow?
[Expecting one, but open! Thread with Alluka comes first chronologically, any others will take place in Kathy's warehouse]
