Her skin turns a slate-blue and her hair bone white. The whites of her eyes are blood red, the irises are purple with cat-slit black pupils. The helix of her ears elongate out 2" inches ending in a tip. Her features sharpen and her figure has an unnatural, inhuman litheness that can be intellectually disturbing.

Mask
Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.
Narration:
Within the tunnels Circe is able to see some signs of the dust being disturbed here and there. Nothing big, certainly not foot prints. Something smaller may have gone this way. Kray will notice this too if Circe bothers to point it out.
In the Toilet Gallery, Kray notices that there are a lot of toilets still. Stairs are still intact too. The bright light makes for a stark contrast of the red splashes against the white porcelain of the toilets. As do the small rat corpses.
Circe however, will notice that a toilet is shaking for some reason.
---
Circe:
Dusty floors a little less dusty? Not big game, so maybe the jumbo rat went this way too? That'd explain it. It is dead, so not a problem for now lest there was more than the one.
"Not it, aaaactually," Kray's words give her pause. "I used tear gas and mask for a combo attack in a battle. Worked a treat." Which means a backpack spewing toxic gas wasn't actually a bad idea. Just not explosively doing so. "Well Kray, we are going to science the shit out of this then. If it don't boom, could work."
"Indeed you did," she recalls Kray is a fellow criminal quite well. Not same circles, thankfully. There were a few idiots she liked to milk for coin that Kray would likely kill out of frustration. Okay, 1 she'd be fine with that. "Nice to have a fellow, proper gangster to talk with. Even if I'm more of a supplier of problem solvers than a negotiator like yourself. Beats dealing with the posers that act like that idiot from Be Cool."
What was that? Circe brings up the spotlight and the gun, "Movement!"
And given how last time went, she decides 'fuck you' is the right response. Circe aims the gun at the shaking toilet. And fires.

Narration:
Kray does have time to react to Circe's extremely Summer reaction.
Mask
A giant of a man (7ft 6'), broad as a barn (300lb) his muscles are not things curated for gym selfies but thick from use and abuse. The jug jaw can be said to be his most flattering feature, after the badly broken nose, limp locks of hair and sharp shattered teeth. He wears a long poorly made overcoat, suspenders keep trousers up over a ill fitting white work shirt. A battered fedora is his only accessory.

Fedora 0 Dot
Mask: a battered brown moth eaten fedora, the hat band looks like a band of sackcloth has been wound around it.
Mein: made of stitched red and brown leaves, 2 holes for his horn nubbins -- the scarecrows I pictured to be in place of the hat band, just a jumbled array of tiny standing and suspended sackcloth and straw people ringing the main body of the hat.

Mein
Standing an inch or so taller and broader than its already giant mask the blubbery ashen skin, splotched with chitinous scabs and bulbous fleshy worts look almost diseased. Wild and matted lichens and moss form a tangled mane of hair and beard. Thick trunk like, twisted, arms of exaggerated length, end in vast hands with dark chipped nails. The pillar like legs bow slightly. A barrel chest and obese gut only add to the immensity of the creature. A broad jaw houses a chaotic array of sharp and curving teeth resembling shards of stone that prevent complete mouth closure ensuring they are always on display. The flat squashed nose leads to the sickly yellow sclera of the vast bulbous eyes and pupils more akin to fragments of flint, in turn overshadowed by nubbin horns protruding from a wide forehead
He had been more thinking planta toxic poison bomb backpack somewhere and lure whoever over to the lethal concoction not a backpack spewing gases [/url] . "Uh. I will confess I have no bugger all about chemicals beyond you know poison is bad for you and putting thing near fire is usually a bad idea." A scientist he was not. "So. Yeah first-time we test if it goes boom we might want to be rather far away from it." Better to clean up whatever, they and cleaned up the rust after all, then accidental poison themselves.
He foes to scratch his chin which takes a hand of the barrow causes it to go lop sided and the ignore to have to scramble to regain balance. "Ah. Bugger." That was annoying. "Uh. Want I want to say is I'm not sure I would call what I do negotiation exactly." He might nice have considered himself more of a middle man more of the broker type but things were progressing well past that point. "But. Yeah. Nice to have someone else around who appreciates living outside of the law." Funny really adhere to the rules of magic, the wyrd and so on but shirk the human made restraints like they didn't matter. Maybe because we know they don't matter they aren't rules written into the fabric of things.
The call of movement and resulting hail of bullets snapped him out of that thought dropping the barrow entirely arms come up ready to lock over whatever was impending but he doesn't step in front of Circe while she's shooting, that would be idiotic.

The toilet shatters, as to be expected from a century old toilet taking hits from a burst of bullets. The squeaking of a large rat can be heard. Looks like the king rat they caught wasn't the only royal rodent. And it is quite thoroughly pissed as it makes a growling sound as it charges at the Changelings.
Yes, the trope of giant rats being fought underground is now occurring for the Autumn King and Summer Queen. Herald a greater adventure?
The rat has Defense 1 if you wish to attack it. The Losts' boots will provide some protection against the rat.

Circe:
"Oh," she says with a bored tone as the foe is revealed. Then takes aim at the rat, as she clicks the gun to single fire. Not wanting to waste ammo on such a small foe, she is going to try to line up a good shot instead.
"Guess it wasn't the only big un," Circe glares at the rat. The gall of it to attack them.

The not so little rodent had more bloodlust then it did survival instinct, and for that it gets a the ogre boot to its everything. Holding nothing back from his blow the ogre drops the barrow and surges past the summer queen watching his foot back for one mighty punt of a kick with all his weight behind it, paying no heed to his own well being, he didn't think the rat would still be fighting afterwards any way.

10, 1, 8, 5, 5, 2, 5, 1, 10, 4, 2, 10, 6, 5
4 successes
Kray is using the first and second dots of Brute force
--Body blow: Your character can deliver powerful blows that leave opponents reeling and gasping for air. If successes inflicted in a single Brawl attack equal or exceed a the greater of target's Size or stamina, the victim loses his next action. Note: Body Blow is Passive and can combine with other Fighting Style Manoeuvres.
--Juggernaut: The character uses his entire body as a weapon. He barrels forward, smashing his head into his opponent and throwing the rest of his weight into the attack. This is an “all-out attack” per p. 157 of the World of Darkness Rulebook. The character foregoes his Defense, but gains a +4 bonus to the roll as opposed to the normal +2 bonus. Normal all-out attack rules apply.
