[Sneaking into cabins, peering into windows, leaping over the heads of passengers is Spring-Heeled Jack.

He visits naughty children, peeking in at night to watch them sleep, and then he's off again just as fast as he came.

Dressed in black with long claws and keen to play some wicked pranks goes Mason, more of a mischievous spirit than anyone willing to cause serious harm.

Right?]

[ Mindy's fairy tale romance was Clark Kent and Lois Lane, her Dark Knight was Batman -- so maybe it's appropriate that the youngest, baddest girl on the barge (in her own mind, anyway) is unaffected. ]

[ She does know a flood's on, though, and it's weird, so she's not leaving her room for anything except to snag food that hopefully isn't enchanted. If she wasn't being terribly stubborn about this round-robin wardening thing, she'd ask Allison for some help... ]

[ Instead, she has no idea that someone's in her cabin when she comes back with her pockets full of food. ]

The fuck are you doing, you prick?

THE F--

[ She doesn't get to get a scream out, because holy shit who the fuck is that and why does he have claws what is he doing in her room!! She'll be embrarassed later by being caught so off guard, but begins to promptly struggle like a housecat that doesn't want to be bathed. ]

Put me down you shitdicked cockgargling jizz-spitter!

[ There's kicking and spitting and struggling. ]

[ Also, biting. Needy is a kicker, they said -- but Mindy? Not afraid to grab hold of a bit of ragged shirt, and try and find some spare bit of muscle in which to sink her teeth. ]

[ Those Macready kids are mean little fuckers. ]

[ Things she is not used to: claws that catch! So the standard parry just ends up with Mindy's arms lacerated and blood going everywhere, and Mindy shrieking her rage incoherently. She's not fighting smart -- she's fighting wild and angry, all the build up of the past few months rushing out in kicks and punches that her father would be ashamed of, would drill her harder for. ]

[ Right now she doesn't care. This isn't about being efficient. This is about her being angry and finally giving vent to all the issues she's been bottling for a while now. ]

[ Mindy kicks and screams and hurls invective after him, half-pursuing him down the hall despite that she's ripped up and bleeding... but in the end she's left angry and tear-streaked and hurting, and limps back to her room to ruin some clothes and patch herself up. ]

[ Damned if she'll ask for help from anyone. Fuck that. Fuck this whole place! She hates it here. ]

[ The wolf had just been trying to get some rest. Far too long spent prowling the ship for tasty little snacks. And he was woken by the overwhelming sense that he wasn't alone. His glowing eyes snapped open, focusing on the sense of it. There. By the desk? ]

[ Slowly, the wolf uncurled. Sitting up. Staring. Sniffing. Familiar...some how.

He took a slow, cautious step forward. On all fours. Creeping close to the ground. ]

From: [personal profile] 400yearsofsurvival
[ He shifted himself, hands and feet tense against the floor. Claws digging into dirt. Ready to react. He eyed the creature, warily. ]

You are in my house, creature. Give me a reason to not eat you for this.

[ He twisted around. Jerking back. Keeping out of the strange creature's path. Circling. Watching.

Once it game to a halt after its monstrous leap, the wolf lunged forward. Teeth gnashing and snapping. But he halted at the edge of the light. Cautious. Hesitant.

He moved. Pacing. Not wanting to cross into the light. ]


Come closer, little thing.

Date: 2014-09-09 03:00 am (UTC)
400yearsofsurvival: (Please.)
From: [personal profile] 400yearsofsurvival
[ He shifted on his hunches. Sniffing at the hand. Nose wrinkling. But he didn't attack.

He was used to a world little girls who lost their way and woodsmen with hatchets. Tricky goats and elusive swine. Food and predators. But this...thing fit neither. He sniffed again. Could this thing be eaten, even with this claws? ]

From: [personal profile] 400yearsofsurvival
[ Jerry jerked back at the giggle. As if expecting an attack. His gaze darted around, one clawed hand poised to defend himself. But nothing game. He let out a growl, and a soft snort. Slowly, lowering his hand, venturing closer again. ]

You are neither child nor huntsman. Neither goat nor pig. What are you?

400yearsofsurvival: (Fuck that burns)
From: [personal profile] 400yearsofsurvival
[ The lack of answer was infuriating. The wolf let out a might growl. Claws digging into the dirt at the edge of the light. ]

SPEAK! OR I WILL GOBBLE YOU UP! BONES AND ALL!

[ The wolf lunged. Trying to catch the elusive thing. But he wasn't fast enough. Teeth snapping shut right where a heel had been.

But he did not pursue through the door. Such things were not worth his time. Not for such a lean and meager meal. ]

[She'd been moving through the barge, doing her best to stay on the path and deliver the goods to grandmother, however the temptation to wander and explore has been getting stronger. She'd already strayed once, a fact her mother could never find out. Erica fluffs her skirts slightly, adjusting the red cloak and hood before quickly returning to the cabin she'd been resting in.

Putting down the basket, she tries to let her eyes adjust to the darkness. Something tells her she's not alone, an unnerving thought.]


He-hello?

From: [personal profile] seizurings
[She continues to look around, her lips quirking slightly when there's no response. She puts down the basket, untying the cloak from around her neck and lowering the hood from her blonde curls.

She crosses to the bed to sit when she catches something out of the corner of her eye. She clutches the red cloak, the words of her mother ringing in her ears - the cloak will keep her safe.]


Who's there?

[She hopes it's no one - just an overactive imagination running wild again...]

From: [personal profile] seizurings
[Oh... Oh. She can't help but slide back a little on the bed, fear shining in her eyes.]

Who are you?

[What are you?]

[She watches the claws, clutching the red cloak tighter. She shouldn't, she knew what her mother said about staying on the path... Not being led astray by anyone or anything................ But... He hadn't hurt her - not when he could have. She hesitantly gets up, moving towards him as she puts her cloak back on.]

Do you know where my grandmother is?

[She takes the extension as a yes, slowly moving towards him as she picks up her basket.

Taking a steadying breath, she places her hand in his, hoping this wouldn't backfire.]

seizurings: (Oh no)
From: [personal profile] seizurings
[Oh...

This might not have been such a good idea, but by the time she draws that conclusion, it's too late.

All she can do is hold on and say a silent prayer that she'd be okay.]

[She grips him a little tighter, trying to not slip as he moves.

She takes a chance to plead, knowing her mother would be furious if she didn't do her job.]


I have to get to my grandmother.

[This was not a smart decision. Not smart at all... Oh dear.]

From: [personal profile] seizurings
[There's a moment of worry when she feels him clutch her tighter, just wanting to go home - tell her mother she'd failed and there was nothing more she could do.

She just looks at him, brows knit.]


Is there any way you could take me back home?

Home. Where your family is.

[She gives him a soft look.]

Don't you have a home?

From: [personal profile] seizurings
[She tentatively reaches out a hand in comfort, brows knitting with slight concern at his reaction.]

It's okay. Home is where the heart is.

[At least that's what her mother always said.]

Is there something you love here?

From: [personal profile] seizurings
[She doesn't reach for him again, instead watching as he scrambles away. There's confusion in her eyes over what just happened, but she takes the opportunity to slowly start to back away herself.

Just another reminder of why she needed to stay on the path.]
