The Abyss Gazes Also

[animusnpcs]

Characters: Jason, open
Setting: starting on floor 23 and moving downward
Format: action
Summary: Jason arrives, and he's not happy. Zo has promised his help, but he can't come right away, and he won't strike any direct attacks. It will be up to the characters involved to do what they can.
Warnings: gore and violence

[Jason pulls himself up out of the void with arms much too long and strong to support his odd body, so similar to that of the smaller plague doctors who crawl out and about. The glamour seems to fail around him in an approximate five meter radius. Even with his inhuman face, the human eyes that stare out are cold and furious. Countless scalpels line his six arms, glittering and ready to be yanked out.]

I can't stand interruptions, you know.

[Jason's voice is undoubtedly his, but there's something twisted and odd about its tone with the glamour removed.

He begins to rapidly descend the Tower staircase.]

Comments

/late sorry. Hope it's okay to jump in here.

[Sheena hadn't seen Jason before, and probably for the first time in her life, she had held back on her own. To someone who doesn't know her, it may appear that she's been paralyzed by shock or fear, but upon closer inspection, they'd see muscles tensed for action and eyes narrowed in concentration.

She's been watching Jason, learning what she can before springing into action. Leaping forward, she barely winces as a scalpel on its initial trip lands in her arm as she picks up several scalpels and hurls them back at Jason one by one in a steady rhythm towards his hands.]

/always okay fellow latecomer

[After confirming with some things, Minato found himself on this team as their medic. With the results of the collar checkup, he's been carrying whatever first aid items he can find.

Otherwise, well, he can throw things at Jason with a bag of scraps, not unlike Lorelei's. When he can see an opening--and none of his allies are in his line of sight--he would start throwing scraps at Jason.

The flying scalpel forced him to stop and dodge, but one managed to dig into his arm. Suppressing his wince, he endure the pain and pull it out.

Only to throw it back at Jason.]

Thanks!

[The last scalpel in Sheena's arsenal is the one in her own arm, and she pulls it out with a slight wince and grunt before letting it join the others aiming at Jason.

Placing her hand over her arm to staunch the bleeding, she steps forward and glares at Jason.]

You know, that's a pretty bad way to greet someone you've brought here.
