@DruPrincess --his left shoulder scaring the figurative pants off him as he grabbed for the handle and pushed with all his might, landing in a sprawling heap inside the well-lighted shop* *desperately* I... I know who you are!

@DruPrincess -- in his ear* Get out! *shoulder hunching, he swatted at his ear* No beasties! No... Oh shit *freezing mid-step, he stared at the inky pool of black flooding the sidewalk ahead, his skin prickling with fear, and spun on his heel, @DruPrincess' cheshire cat grin over --

@DruPrincess Fuck! *the word coming like a hiss of air from a punctured bicycle tire, he craned his neck, peering sidelong at his reflection in the toy store window. His reflection and no one else's. Certainly not the reflection of a giggling phantasm, her voice a crazy, lilting sing-song--

@FlashBangScud @WitchyAura --the door itself gusting open on its own* Huh. That's... peculiar.

@FlashBangScud @WitchyAura -- do it... *wide eyed, he scanned the store's interior, taking a tentative step to the front step, and jolted at a jangle of bells, --

@FlashBangScud @WitchyAura *tension coming off him in waves, he froze, peering anxiously at the hardware store* Poofed? I... *side-eyeing @UpsideOfDeath* I didn't--

@UpsideOfDeath @_Hostile_17_ @aLittleWitchFu @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf -- he rose up on tiptoe, eyes narrowing* We'll get you /and/ your little red headed apprentice! You can mark my words!

@UpsideOfDeath @_Hostile_17_ @aLittleWitchFu @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf --blond menace* Tick tock it is! *clutching a handful of leather coat sleeve, his confidence bolstered by the contact,--

@UpsideOfDeath @_Hostile_17_ @aLittleWitchFu @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf That's right! *his robed frame hidden behind @UpsideOfDeath's great coat, he glared over #VanHelsing's shoulder at the hulking --

@UpsideOfDeath @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf --the next instant, he stammered, pivoting left and right, searching the street* *quietly* Or a decoy....

@UpsideOfDeath @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf --forward, fishing frantically for something that would help* Possibly a victim? Or... *blinking, as the girl disappeared in --

@UpsideOfDeath @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf --and fidgeted with the chain at his neck line* The girl? *reaching for the strap on his shoulder, he pulled his enormous satchel --

@UpsideOfDeath @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf *gaze fixed on the fierce, blond vampire head shaking furiously, he swallowed hard, clutching the bulb of garlic in his pocket, --

@aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf -- his gaze back to the cell phone gadget in his palm* This Gee Pee Ess is supposed to buggering /work/!

@aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf --In fact, I think I /will/ swear! *lifting his chin, he met @UpsideOfDeath's intense gaze* Bloody darn! *brow furrowing, he dropped--

@aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf -- peering into the dim interior, his teeth chattering in time with the ear splitting drum beat* I could have sworn... --

@aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem @UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf What the... *spinning three hundred and sixty degrees on the very spot @_Hostile_17_ had just recently vacated, he narrowed his eyes,--

@UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem --*under his breath* I should think we'd do well to be quite careful.

@UpsideOfDeath @AequitasSanctus @OmnipotentSmurf @aLittleWitchFu @_Hostile_17_ @VeritasEtMortem --eyes everywhere at once as they entered the pub* His other name's "William The Bloody" --
