[Grocery Store] (Because really, where else would he be?)middayitalyJuly 11 2010, 14:22:58 UTC
Romano was really starting to contemplate on his actions that day. Why on earth had he decided that grocery shopping (again) had been a good choice?! I mean, sure, he did want to see if there had been any good spices that he had just happened to miss his first trip here, and maybe grab a few more seasonal crop, and definitely get more tomatoes because there was a great sale going on, and--
-- That wasn't really the point.
It sort of sucked because he was already in the grocery store so he could've done all that stuff if he really wanted to. After all, most of the staff was busy with... y'know, running around screaming. Thing was, Romano was pretty much doing the same thing, so... yeah. As he ducked behind the freezer aisle, he could only wonder one thing.
Why the hell did this place have automatic doors?!
Then he heard a rather innocent 'ribbit' to his right. Romano slowly turned, eyes wide as he was greeted with the sight of the biggest frog he had ever seen. With very sharp teeth.
He fucking screamed.Though, if you listened

Somewhere between the ribbiting and Romano's screaming, there was an outburst of childish laughter, things falling over and crashing into one another, and some more frantic and frightened frog noises. The frog that's threatening to consume Romano doesn't get the chance. A frog of slightly smaller size, but significantly more beaten up and bloody and apparently missing its eyes and being ridden by a small girl, smashes into it. Luki slides off before it and the other frog end up at the end of the aisle, the one missing its eyes biting and and attacking the other in confusion.
Luki, on the other hand, is just a bundle of laughs. She turns to Romano, a bit covered in blood herself, smiling the biggest of smiles.
"HI, MISTER. HAVE YOU SEEN THE FROGS AREN'TTHEYAMAZINGTHEY'RESOBIG I'VE NEVER SEEN FROGS SO BIG BEFORE."
MY SAVIOR-- I mean, hey.middayitalyJuly 12 2010, 02:01:25 UTC
Romano felt a rush of relief as he watched the frog meet its terrible demise, but then he actually processed just how horrific the spectacle was. Was that frog... missing its eyes?!
He spun to see some incredibly fuckin' strange girl, laughing and grinning as if this were the best thing to ever happen! And talking in a way that Romano could barely understand.
So he deduced that this girl was probably insane.
"Fuck," he uttered under his breath, glancing at the frogs tearing each other apart. But before he could actually react to this freak, he noticed another beastly frog preparing to leap at her back. Shouting incoherently, he made vague wild motions to indicate something behind her.
... he probably should've predicted that this girl was more than a match for these things, though.

Kaworu had been taking his habitual morning walk when it first began - the skies turning dark and frogs falling like endless, dangerous and heavy rain. It was almost like the plagues of old, observed by and documented in the holy book. The frantic announcements from his communicator, though muffled by his pants, verified that it was happening everywhere in the city. A witch attack, following the written word. It was almost funny.
The size and the teeth were a nice touch, though.
He reached up to undo the sling that kept his arm safe and stationary and stuffed it into his pocket. Healing can wait; there were people that needed help. He watched as his right arm changed into a blade, sharp and unmistakably similar to his Eva. The manifestation of his will and resolution and the reason why he could never resonate with any weapon.
He gutted the frogs approaching his body and pondered his next course of action. Where to?
Sohki had gone out to the streets to attempt feeling the air around the city as the others departed. It had been a rather interesting affair, and after the entire ordeal was over and done with, the kirin had taken the scenic route back to the communal building. That was when it had happened as he sensed the shift in the air moments before the heavens above broke open and began raining frogs down on him.
He'd managed to miss the first few attacks, but without his powers, the kirin was all but blind to the world around him in this type of situation. The scent on the air was confusing his senses, and with the chaos exploding all around him, Sohki couldn't find enough balance to fully grasp what was happening.
The confusion left him stumbling out of the alleyway as the kirin stumbled down to his knee. He managed to catch himself on his hand moments before Sohki jumped out to the side to dodge the incoming attack of his unknown enemy.
Kaworu heard the steps of another person first and ran off in that direction. The grinding pain in his chest was negligible like most other things. At least by now he wasn't going to kill himself by just moving around. The Shibusen healers were considerably notable.
The frogs were attacking another man, older than he it seemed, who was already down. The angel put on a burst of speed before he speared two frogs in one move and threw them off before they exploded.
Eventually Neku and Joshua (pretty much in tow by this point, he's lost more blood than is advisable) make their way into the clinic, after what must have been quite the detour to avoid those frogs.
Josh had fallen back into making snarky comments as they continued on.
Neku was certainly not listening. He's pretty sure that Joshua's mouth is moving, but he refuses to turn down the music unless Joshua had something important to say.
Circular, flawed logic but it kept Neku somewhat happy about it. He brings them into the building and wondering if it's been invaded by frogs too. He palmed the volume down, not for Joshua but... well. Fine, indirectly for him.
"Hello?" He called out, bringing Joshua to the room where they kept the beds. "Hello! Is anyone here?"
Joshua was really long past caring if Neku heard him, or listened, or if there was a difference between the two terms. He needed to vent off some of that sarcasm while his wording didn't really matter, as he had a feeling that it would matter soon.
The Music nags at the back of his mind. He knows those tones too well, and if he could just think straight-
Neku's call receives no answer. "Doesn't sound like anyone's home."
