Regardless, we're still going in. I trust Shuck's instincts. Of course he may be here giving orders to someone. Either way...someone, or something, is not going to survive this encounter. Let's just make sure it's the being we are aiming for."

"Sounds good to me." Glen replies. "When the door opens, I'll let Shuck go. He knows his target, and should provide a good distraction for the two of you."

Mitch raises his head as high as he can he and spots Remiel slowly making his way towards them. "There he is. Come on Corat." He starts towards the Kyrio, using his body and wings to gently move aside the partiers.

It's a very tall serpent and friends against a crowd and a doorway, and it's going to be a hard-won fight. You all meet together in the doorway, the doorjambs giving you something to hold onto against the constant motion of those around you. Ted and Bill embrace each other and hold on.

You all catch a glimpse of what Remiel alone had seen--that past that doorway is an impossibly large room full of circling beings sucking the partiers in like a whirlpool. In the center is an odd fellow held up on a litter/throne. You have his attention,　and he stands up unsteadily on his chair. "Awww, you're not leaving us are you?" His tone is mocking, as is the gesture of fists to his eyes like a child crying.

"OK, let's dance," he says softly. If Sunae is moving fast enough, he's right behind her; if not, he'll bang through ahead, eager to join battle (and aware that he's in less danger than she is.)

Black Shuck bounds into the kitchen, nearly bowling Kane over in his hurry to get there. He stands behind the figure in the kitchen watchfully, not yet its friend or its foe.

A laptop computer is the main light in the kitchen, but even by that light you can see basically what is going one. An out-of-shape man is sitting on a desk chair, his hands apparently taped to the armrests. He has a remote control in his mouth for now, though he's clearly trying to eject it. The floor is about a quarter inch deep of water, flowing from the kitchen faucet and held in on your side by the fact of a slightly recessed kitchen, and on the far side by the tracks of the sliding glass door.

Teetering precariously on the countertop　is a toaster, plugged in.

On a table near the man is his laptop, running a series of short video clips. Right now you've got Han Solo and Indiana Jones saying "I've got a bad feeling about this" in a couple of different scenes, followed by "I don't care what you smell." It seems this guy's got a playlist of sci-fi quotes.

In front of the man's chair and the source, apparently, of much of his terror is...a microwave oven. Its door has been cleverly jammed open, and a tall and indistinct figure holds one hand near its buttons, the other prepared to pull the toaster into the water. He--as near as you can tell in this lighting--definitely sees you.

Outside, Glen might notice the Hunt is turning their motorcycles around. Perhaps they're bored, having found their quarry, perhaps something else.

Glen shouts "Shuck! Attack! KILL!!!!" and begins sidling towards the front door.

[ladyarcana55]

"NO! Is he immune to electricity?"

She throws her sword towards the toaster mentally telling it to try to cut the cord to the toaster, and any other cord it can

[Rocket Man]

"Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Kane whirls his paperweighted sock like a bolas and throws, aiming it for the "microwave arm." His aim is for a sensitive spot on the arm (the funny bone for preference), that would make the man pull his arm back in reflex.

((When my usual online tarot didn't work and I was "forced" to use the Lovecraft deck, I figured you were all doomed. Apparently not.))

The hound has a second of indecision. Kill? Which one? He lets his nose guide him--hmmm, that one's arm smells of fresh meat. Most of him smells of fresh meat, not plasticky like the other guy. The scared guy...he'll still be there in a minute.

Shuck leaps at the threatening figure, stretching to his full length and nearly hitting the ceiling. His paws land on Frank's shoulders, but not before...

Frank, perhaps overconfident, did not raise him arm to defend himself from the hound. Why would he? Instead the bola pushes the arm slightly back as the dog's weight pushes his body forward.

Purifying Fire leaps at the chance, and steers itself subtly to cut the cord and not merely knock it. It slices easily through the insulation but bites into the copper beneath. The toaster never sees the water but its severed--and still plugged in--cord does. The water is now electrified.

The poor nerd in the chair sees this in time and lifts his feet up, clear for now. It won't be easy to hold his feet out of the water for long though, what with Frank and Shuck about to land a heavy and wriggling mass on top of him. The chair will hold though...probably....

Sunae stays at the door

"Kane! The wire is in the water! Be careful!"

She looks at her sneakers and looks at the water, trying to gauge if the rubber soles would be enough to protect her. Sunae also looks for something she can throw in under him so if he does fall, he'll land on something that won't barbeque him

[Mysteris]

In Amy's body, Remiel would look around for a stick or an object that could lift the wire out of the water without electrocuting either the captive or the host. It'd even rummage through Amy's purse looking for something-anything, that could help.

The Remiel at the party waved one hand distractedly at the figure on the throne. "Sorry. We really need to get going. Bye now, and have fun!" It would form another hand to grab hold to Bill just in case and start forging a path towards the exit.
