01 - Blizzard Samba

[selfgodded]

Who: Anant and OPEN
Where: Capricorn - Central Park at Night
Summary: Anant is sharpening their claws - literally - on the demon populace
Warnings: Violence obviously. I'll tone down on the gore, but I can get carried away, ahaha...

Anant had never really seen snow before. It was soft and powdery in some areas of the park, and they simply had to stop and kneel down in it, pushing their hands into the icy coldness and fluffing it up. Little snowflakes drifted down from the sky lazily as well, and Anant would be perfectly content to watch them, sitting in the snow all night if need be, utterly entranced.

But Anant had come here for a purpose, and that was For Exercise.

They were used to being in perpetual movement, in perpetual exercise, and being holed up in one city, bound inside the walls, they felt caged. They felt bottled up. They were unable to use up the power that purred inside of them, and It began to get snappish at them - so Anant went to use it up. The demon populace were allowed to be played with, so Anant chose them as their playmates.

Out in the snowy fields of Capricorn's park, you may see a masked figure wielding glowing, electrified golden gauntlets against a pack of Baihu. The snow had enticed the white furred tiger demons out into the open, and Anant quite enjoyed their lightning quick movements and bellowing roars. If Anant didn't like humans so much, powerful beasts like these would definitely be a close second!

"Ugh."

Given that it was highly impractical to be speaking through a communicator during the middle of a battle, Viridi gives up any pretense about not using her telepathy and speaks directly into Anant's ear.

"Winter is for staying indoors and soaking in a tub with a mug of cocoa. I'm getting cold just watching you frolicking around. What are you even doing?"

It was only a matter of time before Hizumi would begin snooping around the Dark Hour. He'd heard, of course, of the dangers of the hour. Even just watching from his apartment had been informative as to what kinds of creatures tended to show up during the time.

And yet, all he bothered to arm himself with was the revolver he had arrived with, putting much more priority on obtaining warm clothes so he wouldn't freeze on his night walk. He's not too concerned with getting injured thank to his genetic heritage, but it's only too easy to become frozen without actually dying, and he'd prefer to avoid that if at all possible.

Fortunately, he know how to be at least minimally stealthy. Slipping past the Shadows and demons to the best of his ability, he only stops when he sees a flurry of activity in the park. With one of his usual smiles, he leans against a tree to watch.

A humanoid monster suddenly rushes in from behind Anant. His... it looks like a green cape draped on its shoulders, but it looks organic as well. Whatever it is, it flutters lightly in the wind as the monster uses the knife-like claw the sprouted between his toes to finish off the must injured Baihu quickly, cutting through fur and flesh as if through butter. His tall head, made of nothing but a crocodile-like jaw sporting massive teeth, clamps down on the Baihu's neck to drag him aside.

"You shouldn't play with food," the monster says in a deep, guttural voice before beginning to methodically devour the dead Baihu.
