Just as Angel examined his newly formed mug of beer in one hand, with his strangeass die in the other, he heard a door opening and something shuffling just outside of the kitchen. He ran out to meet the other two Sinners, only to freeze in his tracks. A monstrous silhouette stood right before them.

"What. The fuck."

Yeah. Yeah this was definitely a dream, a hallucination. Angel's lightheadedness and everyone else acting like nutcases only helped to reaffirm that thought. This - this couldn't be real, could it? The beer that had materialized tasted real as ever, as with the merciless pounding headache. After his teammates threw some fits, now some shadow monster was invading their HQ? Just what the hell was going on here?

Angel watched in silence as the blackened figure approached the other two teammates, hoping he'd have time to think of a plan. To - to strike? To flash some lights on it? To vacuum it? To shield themselves and drive it back?? God, what was there to--

His thoughts were cut short. The second it reached out for Sam and Harry, Angel intervened on impulse - by chucking his beer mug and completely missing the target. Once it turned to face Angel, he held his breath and flung his die at it as well. Immediately the being shifted the shape of its arm into a blade to knock the die aside - though it landed to the floor, unscathed.

Six.

Suddenly black aura encased the arms of the three Sinners and materialized into the shape of a large and sturdy, but extremely lightweight spiked shield. The shapes solidified themselves, taking in solid colors and textures before finalizing their forms. Meantime the glass shards and spilled beer disintegrated into thin, black vapor, and wafted away into nothingness.

Angel looked to his arm before looking back to the shadowed being. His faceless mask would shield the worry on his face if there was any to begin with, as Angel was a man who simply did not worry even with oddities like this. "Who are you - why are you here - and, uh. Stay back! Before we spike you to death. Uhh... Sam, Harry...?"
