Raven

Goronn

The sky turned black with smoke-like clouds, and two huge sets of burning red eyes peered down from above. Laughter roared like thunder, and lightning struck, tearing a hole in the air, through which crawled a reddish demon as large as five men. Its hands and feet ended in sharp claws, its mouth was filled with huge yellow teeth, and its tail ended in a spiked-club like some kind of demented dinosaur. It seized hold of Raven. "Ahh, little one, come and make Goronn a tasty meal," it cackled. "I hunger, dear Raven, I hunger for you!"

( Yes, he really said that. GOD, canon. )

Raven swept up her friends into her Soul-Self, teleporting them into the netherverse, where Alligorr and his sorcererous companions awaited on a plateau amongst a rocky terrain. They stood now on a narrow bridge of stone that led to this plateau. The skies above were a strange reddish-orange and black.

( Long preplay is looooooooooooooong. )


( And then trouble showed up. In spandex. )

Alligorr had sent word to Raven that it was time to perform the ritual to stop her father from entering this world's dimension. She wasn't expecting trouble, but there was always the chance that there could be an attack by those her father had managed to influence -- not to mention her own fear that she could succumb to her father's control -- so she felt much more confident with her friends there to watch. Their love and friendship gave her strength and helped her overcome her doubt and fear, but she was still nervous.

( Cut for preplay. )

The fog didn't bother Raven immediately; there had been times in the past when the weather produced such a greyness, though today it seemed much thicker than usual. She was on her way to work and debating just teleporting to town to avoid it, but paused when she saw a familiar face -- Kennedy, on her way to the Reserves. Grateful to not be alone now, she greeted the other girl. They talked idly for a few minutes, until Raven could no longer ignore the chill creeping up her spine. ( ''This is not a natural fog,'' she said. )

[OOC: Preplayed with brat_intraining, who is also doing radio tonight and knows better than to mention the D word. NFI, but comments, cookies, and cuddles are always welcomed.]
