Prologue; Closed to 1248 Williams + Marisa, Mokou.

[hystorical]

[With the night, and with it, the full moon, less than two hours away, Keine was home, in the living room, waiting patiently for Marisa to arrive. Mokou was out getting a few things ready, and she had reassured Keine that she'd be back before the full moon was up in the sky. Besides, Marisa was still going to be there, so there's nothing to worry about... right?]

[Little did any of them know how wrong they were.]

will backtag, on like rn but just rn

[paintme_crimson]

[She is flipping a knife or two in the air. Like. Bowling pins. Mokou why are your hobbies so dangerous?]

No matter how desperate you get, I'll keep telling you--things'll be fine.

kay. Marisa can tag in rn btw.

[hystorical]

I know, I know~ [no you don't.]

As long as you're here, nothing can go wrong.

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa just lets herself into the house. What is this knocking thing?]

Oi! Keine!

Individuals / Small Groups [Open to all, do specify if they're a small group]

[hystorical]

[Wandering about this night, with that beautiful full moon in the sky? You might just notice someone who may or may not be familiar to you... Except... She might look pretty different compared to what you remember of her.]

[She's now sporting two wickedly pointed horns on her head, her previously bluish hair was now a tinge of emerald instead, and a furry tail now hung from between her skirt and blouse behind her.]

[With these features in mind, will you approach her, simply mind your own business and walk along, or avoid her instinctively? Either way, if she does notice you while prowling about the streets and roofs of the houses throughout town, she might just growl menacingly at you, before charging right at you, leaping her way toward you using all four limbs.]

[What do?]

Balin Wilbur - Outside 847 Goldberg Street

[walking_nuke]

[What's Balin doing out late at night? He's currently testing out just what the Postman has given back to him earlier on the weekend. He's sitting on the porch, creating basic "cantrips." Manifesting images of various Logos Elements in a swirl of glowing motes of bluish, alien light.]

[hystorical]

[While Keine would normally have been deeply fascinated by these symbols that Balin was conjuring up in midair, these strange alien lights now wouldn't do much to mystify her, especially not in her feral state. So... While the beast might have been about to merely prowl along and go without noticing Balin, the lights now only serve to distract her from that which had caught her attention earlier.]

[Upon turning and catching sight of Balin, Keine's sane inner self would attempt to warn Balin... But that would only come out from the beast's mouth as a single terrible feral growl, no doubt warning Balin nonetheless, before the beast itself takes over once again, and leaps its way toward Balin, claws extended.]

[walking_nuke]

[Balin immediately dismisses the Element's image when he hears the growl. Combat instincts kick in as he rises into a squatting position, swiftly bringing the shotgun out of its sling. It's already been preloaded, just for situations such as this-]

Shit-!

[Balin only has a split second to locate the source of the growl and notice that this human-shaped monster is bearing down on him. He lunges into a roll to the side, out of the creature's path, upon which he'll stand up and start briskly backing away, shouldering his weapon.]

Household - 507 Ricardo Street; Closed to specified household + Neighbors

[hystorical]

[After having attacked so many people, Keine's inner self couldn't help but to want to seek out help... And where better to seek help than from someone she knew could very well be able to stop her... A certain puppeteer?

With her subconsciousness driving the beast towards the house where Alice resided, Keine was now on Ricardo Street... But what she couldn't control were the beast's exact actions. So while she was trying desperately to call for help from Alice, the beast lets out a terrible feral roar instead, no doubt capable of alerting Alice to her presence.]

[hangedhourai]

*Alice knew that sound.

And she had no intention of helping Keine. Her concern was keeping herself safe. Sorry, but Keine overestimated Alice. She isn't a good person, just a selfish one. And well, anyway, attacking might be the only way to subdue Keine at this point. She seems to be pretty out of control if she can't even manage human speech at this point.

Several dolls swarm from inside the house to gather outside. Danmaku is at the ready. She has no intention of playing nice.*

[hystorical]

[Just as well. The beast just loves that thrill of hunting a difficult prey just like you~

And Keine doesn't mind... If you could take her down as it is, even if she must die like this... It'll be just as well.]

[Still, it has taken up a lot of her willpower just driving the beast here... So she's going to take a break and let the beast take control. For now.]

[Finding herself unhindered by the weak-minded child within, the beast let's out a satisfied growl, as it settles down into a four-legged position, ready to leap ahead at her prey.]

[hangedhourai]

*Alice slightly underestimates Keine as she sends out her dolls to intercept her attack. Danmaku is fired, but Alice herself doesn't move to dodge Keine's attack. She thinks that her dolls will be enough to keep her at bay.*

Household - 2237 Stevens Road; Closed to specified household + possible neighbors

[hystorical]

[Her mind exhausted after holding herself back from hurting her dear student, and successfully wenching control from the beast for just long enough to abscond from the scene, the beast found herself back in control, facing an entirely different house from before.]

[But no matter. She's just going to charge her way into the door and ram it down in 5, 4, 3-----]

Re: Household - 2237 Stevens Road; Closed to specified household + possible neighbors

[lunawolves10th]

[ The space marine looks most confused, having been enjoying a quiet cup of coffee after a long night shift at La Deplaisant. ]

Er... what? [ His eyes narrow at the horned being. ]

Mutant.....

[hystorical]

[Open? More like smashed into bits.]

[Either way, the beast first spots the giant within the house, then as soon as it begins to back out, instictively knowing better than to attack that which is much bigger than she is.]

[Unfortunately, a much smaller girl would just so happen to land right behind her and make noises that the beast was unable to recognize right now, thus making the beast turn and stare, threatened at the prospect of suddenly being surrounded like that, at Flonne.]

[Between a gigantic man and a small girl, the obvious route of escape to take would be that which is blocked by a small girl, no doubt.

So she would charge right at Flonne, seeking to escape from the giant as soon as possible.]

Finale; Closed to Mokou + Pursuers amongst Victims

[hystorical]

[After a night of carnage, the beast finally found herself standing in the middle of a street, her clothes largely torn but still maintaining her modesty, and surrounded by the braver and stronger among those she had attacked. But while the Keine inside truly, and desperately does not want this to happen, she's realizes there was no more she could do about this... Except leave it to the beast and wait for someone in this crowd to put an end to her misery.]

[And before all semblance of desperation, misery, and apology disappear from her eyes... Keine was just able to mutter her last few words--] Help me... Mokou. [Before the beast took control entirely, and let out a feral roar, before charging headfirst into a select point among the gathered heroes.]

[paintme_crimson]

[Guess who woke up by now. Guess. Yeah and she's fairly pissed. Or, rather, more pissed than usual. So when she finds Keine, she ducks into the ground and runs right for her, trying to grab her shoulders and at least get her away from this poor person.]

[hystorical]

[taken by surprise, and with her true self being jolted back to reality, the beast's actions are conflicted when Mokou pulls her away. Keine's desperately trying to stop the beast from further attacking Mokou, while the beast's indomitable will would be pushing back at Keine's, with much success.]

[It'll only be a moment before the beast sends a claw swinging right at Mokou's face]

[paintme_crimson]

[Mokou ducks back in time, and fishes a knife and a match from her pocket.]

Guh...!

Keine, snap out of it!
