Stranger Beetles

"Let go of me!" Lydia yelled as she struggled in the guard's grasp. She eventually was able to knee one right in the crotch before elbowing the other hard in the chest to knock the air out of them. Beej had taught her a bit of self defense during their time waiting for food and she fought like a rabid honey badger.

Now back on her feet, she glared at Grey Man with pure hatred and venom. "Try to touch me, asshole, I fucking dare you." She spat.

Found this while looking up eldritch creatures/monsters/horrors. Has an interesting design and might fit the genre.

"No." Lydia said softly. After what she just heard, she wanted answers from this sleaze ball and wanted them now. She didn't care if they didn't feed her again, Beej had the snacks he stuffed into his pockets she could live off of.

"They mentioned opening a portal to the Netherworld here in Hawkins. What aren't you telling us?" She asked, glaring at the Grey Man.

"Do you really think you can just get a demon and they're at your beck and call like a servant? If so, that's a fucking joke. They're a demon who doesn't give two shits about you or anything else for that matter."

"They're not planning on going in; they're planning on bringing things out. Like how I summon you." Lydia signed as the men kept talking, now trying to keep up as they spoke over each other. She looked over as the plate of snacks appeared beside them, giving him a little smile of thanks. Despite being a demon that could easily dismember people, he did care for her like a big brother.

She turned her attention back to Sergei as he spoke, explaining how they were already underway in opening the portal...in Hawkins, Indiana. Her eyes widened as she translated, looking over at Beetlejuice. Were they hearing something the facility didn't want them to hear and would try covering it up or did they really have no clue? "I think we have everything. It's getting close to our time limit." She signed, her face a little pale.

Lydia smiled at him, taking out the recording device and hitting the button once they started talking. Knowing that Beetlejuice's Russian was a little rusty, she translated it to him through sign language; something she learned from her parents due to her mother being mute. While it reminded her of them and wishing they were still alive, it did help when she didn't want anyone but Beetlejuice to understand what she was saying. That and the first mission they went on to record something had their voices overlapping about how boring it was and smack talking their captures. Oops.

She blinked in surprise upon hearing them talk then pass around clearly classified documents. Thanks to their position, she was able to see one of the pictures inside. She gasped softly before looking over at him with wide eyes. "They're attempting to open a portal to the Netherworld!" She quickly signed.

Having learned from previous mistakes, Lydia looked at the business men standing around and talking to each other. She had picked up a little Russian on missions and knew just enough to understand and respond in case she ever got caught. "Him." She said after a while, pointing at a gentleman who appeared to be the ultimate bigwig of the group.

"Sergei Leibovich. He's the one behind this meeting. How much do you want to bet that they're not talking about the next potluck?" She said, looking over at him.

"So, what's the plan?"

Stranger Beetles

"Of course he sends us to fucking Russia." Lydia said, shivering in the thin, scrub like dress that served as her clothing. No shoes, hat, coat or anything generically warm to shelter her from the cold. She rubbed her arms in a futile attempt to keep whatever body heat she had left.

"Let's just hurry up and get this over with before I become a fucking popsicle." She said, trudging through the snow towards the building. "Hopefully this place is more humane." She grumbled.

Stranger Beetles

Lydia looked over at him before sighing softly in defeat, knowing that he was right. It was useless trying to fight or argue with them. "Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice...Beetlejuice." She said, glaring at the man as the tv screens flickered to ear piercing static white noise as the demon was summoned.

"There. He's here. Happy now?" She snapped, still keeping her arms crossed.

Stranger Beetles

I love it! And it's akin to the portal in the actual show even though the monsters are close in design. We can shake it up a bit with eldritch horrors.

Stranger Beetles

Okay. Again, it's just a thought for some different creatures that appear to the droll little town of Hawkins.
