All Over The Island, Saturday Morning

[lockestheway]

The blasted heath was really enjoying itself now. Having turned everything in the campgrounds to ashes, it now spread to cover the park in full, twisting its creatures into grotesque shapes. Even sand on the beach had greyed, and tiny crabs were both growing bigger and more fearsome

Momoko hadn't managed to make it into the dorms last night, and if she could see herself, she'd probably be glad of that. Sometimes. When she wasn't sniffing the air and wondering why the MEAT seemed so easy today. She wasn't so much hungry now as bored, and she kicked at the carcass at her feet, irritated.

[heromaniac]

That HURT! Momoko spent a fraction of a moment hurting and being totally jealous of Scully's tail's power, before she remembered her claws. She flexed and tried to lift Scully off the ground.

[showmetheproof]

In the midst of lashing out, kicking, and clawing, Scully managed to grab some of that red hair. And yank. HARD.

[heromaniac]

"OW!" That pain actually crashed through the monster brain and brought Momoko back for a moment. "You pulled my hair!"

[showmetheproof]

"It was there!" Scully defended herself. Kicked out again with her toenails. "You picked me up!"

And just for that? Nails down your face, Momoko.

[heromaniac]

"OW OW OW OW OW!" She shook her head violently, trying to avoid the claws and finally tossed... "Scully?! That hurts"

Momoko could feel her anger rising again and clamped down on it. She'd been looking for Scully. She'd been hoping Scully could help. But no, Scully was also a monster. AND pulling her hair.

[showmetheproof]

"YOU WANTED TO EAT! NOT PREY!" Scully yelled loudly, very made. "Took my lunch!"

Big Meanie Momoko! Picking on the infested! More infested.

Scully snarled and swiped at her again, and yelled, "Don't follow!"

[heromaniac]

"Not my fault you can't protect your kill," Momoko instinctively growled back, quickly getting mad again. Enough that she was not even paying attention to the arm where Scully had drawn blood... stuff.

Enough that she was quickly losing hold again of her non-monster thoughts and feelings. She had to warn Scully: "Run, little one. Or stay and play."

[showmetheproof]

Scully hissssssed. Swiped at Momoko. Then leaped over her to run run run run away.

She would lie in wait to attack later, yes.

Karla left the dorms to head to the campgrounds to get with that whole 'saving the island, healing the land, disinfecting her friends' thing. All of which would be good, if only the island, land, and friends were being a LITTLE MORE COOPERATIVE about being saved, healed, and disinfected.

Fortunately, someone had learned a lesson from the last time she'd come out and was venturing out from the protection of the dorms with her shields up, a short sword at her hip, and her bladed sticks at the ready.

No two-bit teal deer with an attitude was going to get the drop on her today.

[heromaniac]

Bored bored bored bor... ooooh.

Momoko sank to her haunches and watched for a moment. Would this one be fun prey? It looked like it would, walking so confidently while smelling so tasty. But then Karla had always seemed a bit overconfident to Momoko when it came to fighting.

Wait... "Karla?!" Momoko fought back the urge to jump out and ATTACK.

[glacial_witch]

Only because Momoko had never seen Karla when she was able to truly let loose. Her powers kind of skewed towards 'lethal' and it took a lot more effort to keep from accidentally killing someone.

Which, unfortunately, was still the case, considering that monster sounded a lot like, "MOMOKO?!?"

[heromaniac]

Oh, Momoko didn't doubt the power, just the finer wielding skills. Like, you know, avoiding 'lethal'.

Momoko emerged from the brush, tail dragging behind her. Please to be ignoring the blood and bits of flesh that hadn't fallen off during her last fight. And the grey skin. And the odd shaped skull. And claws. "It's me! I'm... I'm fine! You're okay, right? You smell okay."

[glacial_witch]

Okay, that was a fair point.

"I'm fine, Momoko," Karla said, watching her friend closely. "But you look a little...worse for wear."

That smelling thing had been a little weird.

[heromaniac]

Momoko looked down at herself, running a claw down her front to try to clean up a bit. "Uhm, I couldn't get inside the dorms last night. Squall..." She shrugged, trying to grin and not get angry over it again. "I slept outside, so I'm a bit dirty."

Denial is your friend.

[glacial_witch]

"Yeah, I can see that," Karla said. Dirty was the least of Momoko's problems, but if she wasn't going to mention that, neither was Karla. Especially not while Momoko wasn't being overtly aggressive.

"If you want, we can head to the clinic. Get you washed up. Maybe change clothes."

Put you in restraints...
