Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Saturday

[not_a_whiner]

And then the pathways slammed shut.

Oh, not all of them. Most of them simply rearranged themselves. But whatever had connected each camp to another had been violently stripped away. They were alone now, and they were easy prey. At least the winds had settled down...

The maze had grown more erratic, however. Instead of speeding up time for all, it was now slowing it down at random in different places. Anyone caught in a sudden bubble of it would find themselves slowing down compared to the rest of the world. Awkward.

"No, but maybe you could look like you're dying," Victor countered. "Maybe all the deaths are like one big illusion."

Or maybe Victor watched too much TV.

"It's a pretty good illusion," April remarked. "Felt pretty real when I did it."

In case that wasn't appropriately creepy, April took this opportunity to morph into gameface.

With the slight lisp of a vampire who wasn't used to talking around the fangs yet, she asked, "Want to see for yourself?"

"Vampiro!" Victor stumbled backward, raised his hands in warning. "You don't want to eat me," he said. "My blood tastes like motor oil."

"Maybe I like the taste of motor oil," April shared, advancing on him. "This girl I ate the other day tasted like highlighters." Probably not. "I'm up for a palate-cleanser."

"Don't think so," Victor said, shaking his head. "Oil's bad for you, and nobody needs this much iron in their diet."

Not his best line, but he'd been operating on little food or sleep all week. He brought his hands up to zap her, praying his powers would work normally this one time.

It was a better line than what April followed it up with, at any rate.

"I used to be anemic," she said, getting out of range of any zapping that might occur by bolting quickly to the side. Her powers hadn't seemed to be giving her too much trouble yet, but then, she'd been pretty fast even before being turned, so maybe she just couldn't tell. "Or I still am. However that works."

For good measure, she threw a kick his way. She hadn't needed to use too much violence yet, since Annie hadn't exactly been a difficult target, but it couldn't hurt to see how strong she was.

Answer: more than before, but probably not robot-strong. That was something?

The kick clanged off Victor's hip, interfering with his balance but not causing pain. He hesitated for just an instant before throwing his elbow toward her collarbone, joints and fingertips still sparking with electricity.

"Not really an expert in vampire medical stuff," he said. "Why are you here, anyhow? Don't you have a cemetery to lurk in?"

April whipped her neck to the side mostly in time, taking only some of the hit. It hurt a little, but not enough to stop her for too long.

"Cemeteries don't serve Happy Meals," said April, who had clearly never seen an episode of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker. "Camps full of freaked-out people do."

She aimed a punch at him, this one toward Victor's chest and meant to knock the wind out of him, then lunged forward while she had the chance.

The punch missed as Victor jumped backward. He couldn't fly, but apparently if he were freaked out enough in a place with wonky powers he could hover pretty darn fast and far.

So April missed him. Unfortunately, he landed directly in the path of a Grue ... which did not.

So Victor ended up being something's dinner tonight after all. It just wasn't April's.
