Valerius's reaction was certainly something else alright. To help allay his fears, he started calling them 'stands'. [i]Hmm, stands.... as in that one manga that was popular a few centuries ago? Seems like it. Well anyways, it's not like he has anything to be afraid of. Those things were certainly not ghosts.[/i] [b][color=007236]"So some remained after all. Out for a late night snack?"[/color][/b] he mused, seemingly enjoying himself or that's what it looked like at least. 

As they began to move closer, he took out his knives and hurled them at the creatures. Some went down but the rest of them didn't. Seemingly going right through them. [i]Well now, isn't this something.[/i] It was in that moment where Ana ordered them into formation. Or something like that. The others were forming one it must be what she said. The drawback to not wearing a suit, hmm? But it seemed like Ana caught on to their weak spot, that swelling. [i]If I was human, what would I be feeling at this moment? Pity?[/i] Maybe so, those 'things' certainly didn't ask for this but it can't be helped.

Tossing another wave of knives at them, some managed to move in close. With one of his knives in hand, he slashed them down and smashed his fists into the swellings. It was a messy affair but one that couldn't be helped. He must say, while not exactly overpowering, there was quite a number of them, one that might annoy one more than anything/ But if there was anything to not like about them, it was the disgusting smell of rotten flesh. It was quite odd yet thrilling at the same time to see them disintegrate in such speed was quite interesting. 

Another bit that was interesting was that even after all that firing, Xar found himself bored. Well, given the history of his race, that's to be expected. With a smile and turned and responded to Jericho. [color=007236][b]"Tired already? Isn't this tame compared to what you usually do on set?"[/b][/color] he teased, joining in on the actor joke before smashing down another one of the insects.
