- then put him back again -

WHO: Lucifer, monsters, and you.
WHERE: Various places around the country, NOT in Heropa, Cape Canaveral, Nonah, De Chima or Maurtia Falls.
WHEN: Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th
WHAT: Lucifer tried to go home. It didn't work out as planned. Now there are monsters! Looks like America is in need of some heroes. See the ooc cut below for more information.
WARNINGS: Violence, monsters; things that happen when violence and monsters are in the same place. Please tag your threads if anything extra is needed.


Over the past month Lucifer had been systematically making his way through Northern America, stopping in specific locations and making sacrifices. Neither the people he had killed, nor the places he had chosen had been random- and the evidence of this was that he now stood in the center of a spell which spanned most of North America.

The center was, as luck would have it, a graveyard somewhere near Lawrence, Kansas.

There was something about this world that limited Lucifer- the encounters he had had with heroes so far had shown that he was neither as durable nor as powerful as he was used to. He had no desire to stay here any longer than necessary. He had been told that what he was trying was impossible- and honestly, that was probably true for humans. But if people were being brought here there had to be cracks in this world that he could tear open to escape.

Since the full moon had risen on Thursday he had been in place in the cemetery- summoning the spirits of the sacrifices he had made and one by one using them to power the spell. He took his time, confident that no one would interrupt him, and careful- doing this twice was not an option.

The eastern sky was turning grey as the final soul was put in place and Lucifer started on the words of the spell proper. It was complicated, designed to seek out weak spots in the fabric of the world and rip them open so that he could slip through. It probably wouldn't break this world- not that Lucifer cared much either way.

The spell almost immediately began to slip out of his control. The power contained in the souls of all the humans he had killed tried to pull the spell apart, fighting him as he attempted to unify them and force them to do his will. Slowly they came together, and anyone sensitive to such things would have felt him testing the limits of the world.

The world held together.

Lucifer was not the kind to explode with rage. His anger burned cold- and the knowledge that he had been wrong- that even this would not get him home- made him seethe. Very well. If he was to stay here, then he might as well put all that power to good use. Make his captors regret they had ever thought to bring him here.

He worked quickly, to avoid losing the power he had spent so long to build up. Resurrection was a simple spell, comparatively speaking. Transformation was a little harder- but turning humans into reflections of their true natures was a speciality of his. He spoke the words and the spells were cast.

The sun was just clearing the edge of the horizon when he was done. Across the country people would be waking up to a pleasant surprise- ghouls and ghosts raised, corpses resurrected and transformed into creatures who would seek out and kill any humans in their way.

Lucifer stayed in the cemetery, gathering his strength.


[ooc information]

Characters can:
- help wear Lucifer down (reply here)
- search for and destroy monsters either together or individually (make your own thread as a reply)
- get turned into monsters themselves! T'Challa can turn them back, or they can be killed (which will need mod approval)
- keep track of where monster sightings are and direct heroes to them (either here, or make a network post)
- stay at home and watch it all on tv!

Monsters are:
- Zombies: your standard walking dead, rotten, smelly, groan a lot.
- Vampires: blood-sucking, pale, sharp pointy teeth, able to go into sunlight, the boss vampires sparkle.
- Werewolves: not the nice kind, shapeshifting, eating/biting people, very hairy.
- Ghosts/Ghouls: typical ghost type creatures, cannot be hurt by physical attacks, can possess people, all of them jerks.
- Wendigos: monsters that specifically eat only people, creepy eyes, their spines shouldn't really bend that way. omnomnomnom
- Chupacabras: blood drinking, animal shaped, extremely creepy howling, keep your goats and children inside.

Have fun!!

When Eiko first got the message about attacking monsters, she was quick to volunteer to be transported out to where some of the highest concentrations of monsters were. She'd missed the attack in Miami, but she definitely wasn't about to be on the sidelines this time. After being dropped off near the epicenter, Eiko would begin fighting her way through all manner of beasties, thankful that her strength hadn't been diminished at all.

Eventually, she'd actually stumble across that graveyard where Lucifer had performed the ritual in the first place. Spotting him a short ways away, Eiko would recognize him from his message on the network about the town in Illinois. He was the culprit and he had to be stopped.

"Hey! You! You're....um....under imPort arrest!"
unbrkableteen: (wtf?!)

"Wah!"

The explosion seems to have managed to do the job until, as the dust settles, he's able to hear her gagging and coughing while stepping out of the debris practically unscathed.

"Ugh, got dirt in my mouth! Gross!"

"Unless you're about to make all these monsters disappear and turn yourself in, I'm not giving up!"

Okay. She could do this. Mom and Dad did this sort of thing all the time. Just get over there and take him down. After taking in a deep breath, Eiko set her sights on Lucifer.....and charged like an idiot.

"Eeeyaaaaaaaah!"
unbrkableteen: (funny angry)

Eiko stumbles a bit when the feeling of collision wasn't there. She turned around, glaring at Lucifer.

"Hey, that's not fair! Stand and fight for real!"
