The twins looked with huge eyes at the creature that just erupted from the ground, completely dumbstruck. Rose especially, was having great difficulty processing what she just "saw". Seeing an entity's aura materialize out of another's, using drawn in 'lambent glow', was a thing she felt she would never even hear about, let alone witness directly. That was not even talking about the creature itself. Unnatural. Not properly alive, yet still living. It was contrary to everything they had seen, heard, or learned. The shock and awe of it lasted only moments as the creature boomed out its pleasure at facing what was in the next room. The doctor said it was... a bear? The word had taken this long to register. Yes, they smelled a bear in the air, but with the reek of all the pungent smells down here, it was hard to tell one from another-- Maybe cedar just really needed a bath? It wasn't CEDAR over there, was it?! Lily poked her head around the corner for only a split second, to verify that NO--THAT WAS NOT CEDAR over there. She only saw his butt, but whooooo.... What a butt! Too bad about the bloody slashes over it, soaking the fur like that, but with how that fellow was trying to turn that little blue elf man into a purple stain? She couldn't say they blamed the fellow for giving that handsome lunk a sore posterior. Any place you can safely strike. She looked at her sister Rose, who was still struck with confusion, not in line of sight of the wonder just beyond. Wordlessly, she shook her head "no", as her sister nodded in understanding, then turned as if to leave. [color=ed145b]"Where ya goin'!?"[/color] she hissed at her. [color=ed145b]"He's big as a house! It gonna take us both!"[/color] [color=f7941d]"I HAS an IDEAR!"[/color] Rose hissed back, taking only moments to dart across the antechamber to snag off a blanket from the nearest bed, then scurry back. She had already begun furiously rolling the edge up. [color=ed145b]"Up an' o'er?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"You got it!"[/color] [color=ed145b]"onleh one shot.."[/color] [color=f7941d]"'En we bettah makes it caount!"[/color] Rose had completed "half rolling" the blanket in such a way that it retained it's "long length", and over the short edge, was rolled up half way, in an overhand roll. She concealed it in over her shield-arm, behind the shield and nodded to her sister that she was ready. Lily turned her head back around the corner and looked out once more. The strange metallic monster with the flaming orb where a head should be was laughing loudly, while swinging that brutal looking axe around like it owned the place. This time, the vantage of the man-bear in the room was face-on and she saw more. His chest had a livid bald spot that looked vaguely human-shaped, the center of which glowed menacingly from beneath the skin. His face was swollen and distorted over his muzzle, like had a raging infection inside it. It must be horrifically painful-- Spittle flew from his mouth, and he swung like he meant it. Even disfigured (and glowing) as he was, there was no arguing that he was a VERY. HANDSOME. BEAR. AND BIG. The momentary pause she had indulged for the eye-candy broke, and the seeming slow motion she had been watching rushed back to full speed, as that momentary glimpse sprang into full force-- The Bear-man and the Metal-monster swinging at each other; the former raging curses that would make their father blush, and the latter laughing in a deep baritone, while the elf-man slashed and darted about like mosquito, striking where and how he could. [color=ed145b]"Damn he pretty..." [/color] [color=f7941d]"NOT NAOW! We's can oogle 'im oncet he all tied up, NOT AFORE!"[/color] Her sister was right of course-- That.. WOULD.. be the correct time to.. "Get a good look"... A dirty smile curled on her face, then she strolled out into the room, her sister in hot, close pursuit behind her. [color=ed145b]"HEYA 'DERE FELLA!!"[/color] [color=f7941d]"WOULDA NEVAH GUESSED YA'S INTA BOYS!!"[/color] [color=ed145b]"WHY DON' YOU COMES PLAY WIT' US ASTEAD!?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"--ER DOES TWO FINE LOOKIN' LADIES MAKES YA SCARED!?"[/color] They quickly maneuvered themselves into position in the threshold of what appeared to be a nearby bedroom, and took up placements there, ready to each spin around, grab an end of the rolled up blanket, and haul it over his head while ducking to either side of the doorway when (or if) he should take the bait, and rush at them. [color=ed145b]"C'MON AN' MEETS US IN DA BEDROOM!"[/color] [color=f7941d]"YOU KNOW YOU WANNA!!"[/color] Then in unison: [color=ed145b]"COME GIT SOME!!"[/color] [color=f7941d]"COME GIT SOME!!"[/color]
