[13sugars]

Lovely indeed, Abel couldn't bear to stay inside on a day where he could actually see the street. No falling ash, no acid rain, no snow, no fog, no flesh eating butterflies, no zombie hoards. For the first time, in what felt like forever, he was going to have a normal, relaxing, cheerful stroll through the city. It would help to take his mind off of Esther, and perhaps he'd get a chance to see if the rest of the people here had gotten started on building the safe house.

Well, that had been the plan, at least. Up until a rather peculiar sight caught his eye. You know, normally, he'd hear a scream first...

But then again, when he caught sight of just who was twisting and dodging to avoid being stabbed to death, he frankly wasn't surprised that she hadn't uttered anything. What on earth was that thing

[hamonatrix]

Lisa was already spattered with blood, but it was Verdugo blood, as with every twist and turn of her seemingly youthful body, she was channeling the ripple energy through her scarves and actually slicing at the monsters' thick shells with her specially woven silk.

The first few slashes seemed to only make the monsters angry, but she was mostly concentrating on deflecting those claws as she tried to slip inside their reach, to try and cut something more vital--aiming for the tendons of their arms and legs.

"Father!" she called, catching one clawed appendage in a loop of wire-taut silk, expelling a deep breath as she sent a wave of searing heat into the creature's hide. Then she was tumbling across the alley, the breath knocked out of her for one frightening moment as she was first struck by a blow from one thick tail, and then struck the wall. She rolled back to her feet in a matter of seconds, pulling a pair of throwing knives from a thigh sheath and hurling them at the creature's eyes. "Be careful!"

For a moment, panic flooded him at the sight of blood, but soon enough he managed to make the connection between her scarfs attacks and the spatters of blood upon her and the ground. She was cutting them with... her scarf? He'd seen strange things, what on earth was this?

It didn't seem to be doing much, other than infuriating the beasts. He was still trying to see exactly what she was doing, afraid of firing another bullet when she was so close.

Him be careful!?

"I'll be fine!" He shot back, darting into the alley. Well, if his bullets wouldn't work, he could always try distracting them. Maybe he could lure the beasts and lose them elsewhere? The beasts were certainly smart... and held a great deal of agility too. The knives that were speeding for ones eyes were dodged at the very last second, the blades nicking its face.

"You get out! Get somewhere safe, there's too many to fight one on one!"

[hamonatrix]

Lisa's scarf flicked out, sweeping the wayward blades back across the pavement, where she could collect them as she ducked and rolled. This was not working as well as she'd hoped.

"What, and leave them to go rampaging through the city?" she said, hair whipping around her as she continued fighting. "I'm sorry, Father, but I can't do that."
