Sleep Paralysis

[Seraphina]

Despite the setback, she was determined to catch the Dreamer. This was her arena, and she wasn’t about to be out performed by a Dreamer.

So she pushes herself, focused on her target.

[Vincent Black]

Fuck Fuck Fuck! What the hell is this thing!

Vincent realized trying to contain it was not going to work. So what else can he do. Focusing on the dome he makes it explode into jagged pieces of stone, while still maintaining his focus, he aims the newly created jagged pieces at the shadow creature.

As the jagged pieces head directly for the shadow creature, Vincent holds his breath, hoping to hurt this creature.

[Sonnie Wu]

This was good. Sonnie and Vincent working in tandem was keeping the Shadow Monster busy.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

The question, however, was how much longer could they keep it up? How many more hits could this thing take?

She couldn't see how Sera was faring, either. It took all of her dwindling concentration to keep this thing in the corner of her vision.

Worse, she was struggling to come up with ideas for attacks. The key to good oneiromachy was being constantly creative. The more original you were, the stronger that assault. The Steepscrambler's mind searched for a new concept.

Vincent didn't try to trap the thing again, he attacked instead.

Crap, it's free to try to kill me again!

She went back on the defensive, ready to dodge whatever it threw at her.

Double Defense! Dream Defense 8, Dream Armor 3. Willpower 2/4

[Saber Sloth]

As the Dreamer continues to flee, Sera finally, finally gains on them. She's right on top of them. Now she just has to get to them.

Vincent's dome explodes in to a multitude of jagged, and dream-sharp spears which are sent through the Shadow with a furious force! The Lost watch as the Shadow's shape tatters even further!

Sonnie steels herself for the next attack, knowing it wont take much more to knock her awake, but as Vincent's dome-sion spears the Shadow it's deadly focus turns to the Huntersheart!

A shadowy echo of the dome-spears that had just pierced it's form, the Shadow sends out the shadows of those spears back at Vincent!

[Seraphina]

There was a surge of adrenaline as she finally catches up with the Dreamer.

Now how to get to them?

It wasn’t a tough decision, as she reaches out to the Dream to manipulate it and bring the Dreamer right to her. That was the amazing thing with Dreams, with enough skill, you could bend them to your will and make your life a lot easier.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent felt the pain as the shadow shard hit, not only did it confuse him, but it also pissed him off. Focusing on changing the ground under the shadow, he uses the metal around the roof to form a spinning blade that replaces the ground underneath the shadow. Pulling all the steel together to create blades similar to that of a blender, going down into the building in a tunnel of multiple blades.

[Sonnie Wu]

The Shadow Monster was reminding her of John Carpenter's The Thing.

Or maybe it was The Blob crossed with Slenderman?

In any case, it was weird and unnerving and gross and Sonnie had enough.

It had to die.

More stars were pulled down from the night sky, but this time, the simian Beast gather them together in her hands. Seven of them spinning in a circle. More and more rapidly they spun. She raised her hands, pointing the circle at the fidgety ooze in the corner of her vision. A ball of bright white light formed out of the stars, shimmering and pulsing. A buzzing sound built up, quickly ascending to a loud roar as the ball became a beam and blasted right into disgusting Shadow.

A little anime-esque, but it was still damn cool looking.

[Saber Sloth]

Sera manipulating what's already in the dreamscape pulls bone-bark-sinew apart, moving air cons and tree branches, unsnarling the warren of organic and inorganic and using it to corral and lift the Dreamer up to the roofline. Who, now that the Lost can see them closely the white of their outfit, has faded less a beacon in the dark, to something well worn, and grime covered. Speckled with mud, blood and other things.

As the Dreamer scans the horizon, they see Sera and their breathing speeds up. "Nonononononono - " a repetitious rendition of no, is the only sound they make.

To the distance, behind Sera and the Dreamer Spring and Solstice unleash their power.

Vincent's terrifying tunnel blender and Sonnie's start powered spirit bomb they obliterate the Shadow From the Corner of Your Eye from the verry fabric of the Dream. Perhaps even entirely from reality as well.

Vincent and Sonnie are a ways away from Sera and the Dreamer, you can give me Wyrd+Athletics to catch up if you want, if you want to do something else, ask me!

[Seraphina]

Translucent hands were held up, “We’re not here to hurt you, we’re here to help you.” Her angelic voice soft, soothing almost. She doesn’t walk closer, giving them their space, knowing, if she needed to, she could close the distance and stop them from leaving. “Are you ok?”

[Vincent Black]

Was it finally gone. Vincent didn't want to leave Seraphina alone but was not sure which way they went. "Did you see where Seraphina went?"

Not sure what to do, so I am going to hold any actions for now.
