Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help. Welcome to Awash's sixth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well.

No, just a regular werewolf.

[Minato tosses that out there immediately, knowing full well by now what Noctis is afraid of; he breathes out a short breath, and then manages a breathless:]

Thanks. They're getting more vicious, I think...

[The wolf seems dazed, slowly standing and shaking its muzzle to and fro.]

[ A regular werewolf, what a world. He can't imagine ever actually hearing that and accepting it, but that's been the town for the past couple of days.

Still, it's good that Minato's unhurt, and he doesn't dispel his sword when the wolf slowly gets up. ]

You mean they were nice before?

[ Because right now the wolf is growling, and guess what? There's the sound of another, off to the side. ]

[messianic]

Nope.

[He'll offer that up with a rueful snort, lifting his sword at the sound of another growl, brow furrowing.]

But they were a little less... like this? I think.

Maybe I'm just getting tired...

[Regardless, there's the other wolf, and Minato moves on automatic, ducking its lunge and swinging his sword around. He scores a hit, though a shallow one; the wolf yelps and retreats a bit, snarling at them. Now there are two. Fabulous.]

[nascere]

I'm with you, buddy.

[ Noctis tells him, covering his back as he repels another that's seen fit to leap forward, knocking him back with a swipe. This holding position can't last, but whatever, they'll figure out a way later. ]

How long've you been fighting these things?

[messianic]

[Haa... Minato breathes out a soft sigh, eyes fixed on the wolves as they retreat a little.]

... A little too long, honestly. But we have to do what we can.

[They really, really have to do what they can.]

So long as we can fight... we have to, right? People are counting on us.
