Nearing the Castle

[marvel-citizens.livejournal.com]

Roberto's body sings with energy. He's never channeled so much power without release. Despite Dazzler's light shows, the world around them dims for five meters in every direction from his body. He can't hold much more. Soon, it will burn through him and over him and consume everything he touches.

Once he's inside.

Alison mutters half under her breath. "Never trust anyone, kid. It'll just get you killed." But then the hard edge disappears again behind a somewhat vapid smile as she waits for the plan to be formed even as she starts to head for the entrance, exit, hole in the ground, whatever everyone wants to call it.

Rubbing her head, TJ stays mostly quiet while the others discuss the mission at hand. Having someone literally explode while she was possessing them wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.

"I've been in his head. We can trust him for now, I think."

"Good enough for me, for now. Useful information anyhow. So... Joshua... or Nocturne, with what you saw there, what do we do not? Frontal assault? Find Strange? If he knows where Strange is, I could probably do this without having to go in through the front door."

He's taken a perch on the cavern wall, watching with a scientific interest all this possession... and the reformation of this little weirdo.

"They'd never expect a frontal assault, being as cocky as they are. Maybe we fake that anyway, as a distraction."

"Oooh, yeah! Hey, is there anyone they'd be especially afraid of?"

He adopts the form of Sarah Michelle Gellar. "Waifish blondes with pointy wooden things, maybe?"

Finally, /finally/ she recognizes one of these references, though its not quite matching up with what she knows. But at least its not totally outside her knowledge. "Ok, I know most of them are, or were, mutants, but I doubt they're going to be afraid of a TV character, even if its Muffy the Mutant Killer. Besides, she uses swords."

"I recall some of the ones in New York were terrified of Captain Ultra, but I think that was because he offended their fashion sense."

S-Man, however, is still in the dark with the references. It doesn't help that Spider-Man is chipping in on them.

"Ugh. Let's get going."

Sarah considers, then looks around for a very large rock. Shouldn't be too hard to find. "I have an idea on making an entrance and opening up here. But I'd need some volunteers on the durable, or very agile end. And, our friend here would need to point out an area of the map to me where there won't be any humans, well away from Strange... only vampires. Is that possible?"

"No. The castle is full of human slaves and the personal herds of the barons." Roberto shakes his head. "We go in through the catacombs. Try to kill as few of the humans as possible."
