[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

[Mildmay's plan works just as intended this time. The monster let's out an offended screech as it topples to the side.

The rest might be harder, given it has four eyes.

Felix has his eyes on other figures in the distance, eyes dancing between them and his brother.]

[Mildmay does his best to stab out anything that looks like it might be a facial feature, and hopes he's managed to kill the thing, not just piss it off. He promised himself never to kill again, but, he thinks, that was for humans... and then all thoughts of morality escape him as he notices the creatures advancing on the horizon. He's panting, clearly tired from the exertion, when he speaks:] You okay?

[lord_wizard]

[It screeches and flails as the nice pierces it eyes, leaking a fluid that doesn't quite look like blood but must be that all the same, and then it's still]

Fine, but I--watch out! [Suddenly it's moving again, making a blind grab for Mildmay with it's claws]

[kethedammit]

Wha- fuck! [And Mildmay is down, swept aside by the claws. He's tired, sluggish and distracted, and his head rings with the pain of it, his scalp suddenly dripping with blood. How deep was the cut? How hard was he hit? He can't think, it's all fear and panic and trying to get up off the floor and finish the thing. He can't, though, he can't make himself move at all, just twitch and struggle on the ground.]

[Felix does the only thing he can at that moment, and that's try to help. He makes a desperate stab with his weapon, more panic than any actual skill, but standing by while it claws his brother open is not an option. Assuming he doesn't do it himself.]

[kethedammit]

[Mildmay stumbles to his feet, dizzy and disoriented. His head feels like a cracked egg. He tries to run, falls, and tries again. His mind is only concerned with escaping; he doesn't think to fight.]

[lord_wizard]

[His aim is imprecise but enough to distract it from Mildmay, swiping at him and snagging claws in his pant leg]

Get back to the group!

[Drawn by the sound of their dying comrade, the figures in the distance advance faster]

<sub>[ Being assaulted by the aliens had left him little time to look for Felix, though he tried. His sword flashed and the iron fan he had conjured before they hit the Dead Zone sparkled, slicing flesh or whatever it was these creatures had as he moved through them, seeking Felix and most likely Mildmay was well.

And then, over the din, he thought he heard a cry in a voice he recognized. He spun, racing in that direction, dodging around aliens and other people, his legs and lungs burning, hand a death grip on his blade.

He spots them, and his mind goes blank with a mix of panic and rage. He gives another spurt of speed, rapid huffing the only sound he makes as he brings his blade down in a silver arc that exploded into the death shrieks of the creature.

Golden eyes turned on them both, pupils nearly lost in gold. ]</sub>

Both of you - move! Now!
