I need help. Medical and otherwise.

[Keith’s voice is terse, strained. The camera moves fo focus on an injured Steak. His coat has been tattered to shreds by their attackers, blood pouring from his ever exposed abdomen, puncture wounds bitten into his sides. Though he’s currently breathing, applying pressure to one of the wounds in his side, he’s several shades paler than he’d like to be and his horns — and this is the most offensive part of all — have been slightly chipped at the tips.]

We were attacked by some weird tentacled creatures -- didn’t look like anything I’ve seen around this planet before. They were… [A beat, a sharp breath as he tries to gather his thoughts.] Sneaking around the temples. Working together. Intelligent. Didn’t want to be seen.

Someone else was there, too. He disappeared, looked like he was in bad shape. Anyone know where he is?

[The camera moves away from Steak, now focusing on Keith who has a fairly deep, bloody gash across his face.]

Are these things the Null? Or .. does anyone know what these creatures are? Seemed like they might’ve been using the stampede as cover to do some recon. Might’ve been able to mess with some emotions, hard to say.

[Steak clears his throat, straightening up as he does so. Most importantly:]

Their attacks are powerful, despite their size. [They’re certainly not as large as some of the Fallen Angels he’s come across at home] No one should fight them alone. [Or, perhaps, at all.]

We're asking questions about them, so no. They could be creatures from the planet that the gods didn't know about due to the short amount of time they spent here. [ She'd bitch but now isn't exactly the time. ]

[Can it truly be said that there are better times to bitch than when injured and miserable though... cuz Keith certainly will be.]

Do the gods have an control over where the door ends up taking the city? How'd that crap even start happening? Were they tryign to get away from the Null or did they just introduce more bullshit for the sake of it?

[fogsong]

It can be all boiled down to them trying to escape the Null, though it doesn't give them a pass on the shit they've done in their attempts. [ womp womp that's hypocritical of her to say when she's willing to do anything to harm them in return for the shit they've done. ] Fear opened the Door, I don't know, about three years ago when it was just down to him and Hope; they both needed people to draw off of to move themselves and bring back the other gods. Our most recent move was the first in which the Door was used instead of Fear.
