OPEN LOG; EVERGLADE, GENESSIA - do not reply until you read the ooc post

[genpcs]

The first sign that something was going on that day hadn't been at the crack. It hadn't even been in Genessia, as a matter of fact. The first sign had been a sound not unlike a window shuddering in a heavy storm. It perforated the atmosphere within Everglade first.

Only a few moments later, Fayren would hear the same shudder echo through its forests, forcing birds to flee the cover of the trees. In the populated areas of the kingdom itself, it would be much quieter, as if it were miles away.

Then it would return to Genessia. The crack in the sky was rapidly saturated, thousands more than before forcing their whole shapeless bodies against the barrier. Some of the strange aurora-tinted color seems to press into their ranks, a few of the strange creatures being forced back, but quickly being replaced by another of its kind.

And a sickening crack could be heard in all archways near and far, but it was loudest in Everglade, where a new crack had formed. Two humongous cracks appeared in Everglade's barrier like a sinister grin as if it were laughing at the town just above the clocktower. The two cracks took only a couple of seconds more before the strange monstrous creatures burst small holes into that crack, not big enough to fit their bodies through at once.

The leaked through, dripping like poison from an apple out of that sneering mouth in the sky until the first of these creatures fell to the ground. The eager, hungry soul from before, whose abyss of a stomach had been shared with the whole of Genessia when he'd opened his misshapen jaw the first time a few days ago now looked from side to side in the streets of Everglade.

The first face he saw was that of an NPC, and he only saw it for a moment before launching himself at the man and pinning him to the ground. Some would recognize him as the grizzled owner of The Rabbit's Foot. A loud scream was put out from the man as the creature opened its jaw wide, but did not eat him. Nothing seemed to happen when his jaw was opened, as a matter of fact.

The creature closed its mouth slowly before standing upright on what seemed to be a two-legged form, though if it had arms they didn't take shape. It made a gesture as if it were cracking its neck as the man escaped quickly, locking the door to his shop behind him.

More of the creatures were piling into Everglade slowly but surely, but this one in particular caught sight of a local werewolf, someone with a pendant, a soul, and repeated his mauling, but this time- this time something happened. This time a strange, glowing mist seemed to pull out of the Everglade resident's body, a faint glimmer of aurora with it, and in a short time this person stopped screaming. They were still alive, but it didn't seem like there was anything... inside, really.

A hissing, victorious laughter left the creature and he moved on, heading toward Genessia's gate along with his oversized mouth pulled up into an eerie grin that reflected the crack in the sky. Those that had made it in through Everglade's crack followed suit.

They had to let the rest of their friends in through Genessia; it was only the polite thing to do.

[It took Spirit little time to pursue the creatures that had overrun the city. He did so meisterless--no Stein. No Maka. No Kid--but he was still the Deathscythe. He could hold his own. Most of the time he made quick work of whatever he came across. A quick slice, a stab through the chest was enough to stop the creatures.

He heard Laharl before the flash of blue hair was visible. One arm was transformed into a blade, the other bent across his chest protectively and ready to strike learning to fight without a meister is important!]

Fancy meeting you here.

[forever_prince]

[Laharl will be looking... rather annoyed at Spirit. The irony of his name and their current situation not being lost on the pint-sized demon.]

I could say the same about you! If you hadn't noticed, we're kind of being invaded and I need to know where all my vassals are and what they're doing. I don't have time to go looking for you.

[notsoholyspirit]

I have a phone.

[He wants to rant and rave at Laharl because how dare he start up with this nonsense again, with everything that's been going on.

The redhead doesn't get the chance. When he turns to address Laharl there's a creature behind him, and he's quick to go on the offensive. Thankfully it's another shapeless one, one which requires little effort on his behalf.]

And I'm not your vassal.

[forever_prince]

Yeah, and you didn't use it.

[Laharl rolls his eyes as he lazily swings his sword at another spirit, advancing on the man as if nothing more than a light rain were getting in the way.]

Oh don't start this again. Once you swear fealty to a demon - regardless of circumstance - it sticks. You're my vassal until I say otherwise.

[notsoholyspirit]

Neither did you.

[He's tired of this argument. He's tired actually--overall, through and through. He can't listen to this anymore.

With Laharl's swing, the area seems to be clear. Spirit carefully surveys the area, looking for any signs of danger. When there were none immediately in the vicinity...]

Fine. Whatever. What's the plan? What do you need?
