A gurgling groan filled the modest bedroom, a combination of waking yawn and accidentally inhaled salivation. Elara coughed. She didn't remember falling asleep, didn't remember what she'd really done yesterday besides failing a new soufflé recipe and breaking into the cooking sherry just a bit too much. Then there was that smell, acrid with the vaguest undertone of fragrance. She stretched and went to the balcony, lighting up a morning cig. A new-old bad habit, a few weeks old but with history. Eel was late, but she needed to decompress before she began the flurry of getting ready and heading to the meet. It took maybe fifteen minutes to get out the house after that.
[break][break]
Elara wandered the moody streets of Gothica with a general idea of where to go, occasionally glancing at her map to make sure she wasn't entirely lost. There was also the ever-present danger of the place stealing her attention away from pathfinding. Maddened Earth-made townsfolk screamed and led never-ending witch-hunts while warped creatures of all manner skulked, hulked, stomped and sometimes even dropped. Further into the zone were eldritch things of even less discernable nature. Elara would probably have felt a creative surge at seeing such horrors first-hand, but she was tired, late, and more than a little hung-over. Maybe she'd try to write a little short story when this meeting was over.
[break][break]
Her own life's short story though was unfolding, Elara already having alerted some screeching winged-thing and being forced into a sprint through Gothica. She climbed and clawed in nearly equal measure, and after nearly an hour of travel found the building in question, only slightly maimed. Another twenty minutes spent exploring the home, staunching fresh wounds, and Elara had found the hidden door. She heaved a great sigh and cleared her throat before descending down the stairs as quietly as she could. She was so damned late, so the least Elara could do was try to not interrupt any current conversation. Hells, it probably seemed like she would be a truant here.
[break][break]
Despite her temporary Vow of Quiet, Elara made a small noise of discomfort as she came down the last step and exited the stairwell. The freshly bandaged claw marks on her leg squelched the tiniest bit as blood ruined one of her "Adventuring Outfits", which were just the clothes in her wardrobe she didn't mind going to battle in. Black (and red-stained) jeans, a charcoal-grey v-neck with a fresh puncture mark on her abdomen, an oversized black zip-up hoodie that was newly missing the last five inches of a sleeve and showing off friction burns, and of course her now well-worn golden shoes. She gave a little wave and found a place in the last chair, mouthing "sorry" to Kurai and giving a small wave to Ingrid.
[break][break]
Elara placed the second cig of the day in her mouth but didn't immediately light it- would be rude to smoke around others, but even the taste served as a miniscule comfort for surviving apocalypse. Eyebrows raised slightly she surveyed the room and group as politely as one could try while sizing up new acquaintances. It really took all sorts to consider toppling a deity. Her mouth curved into the slightest tired grin she could muster, patiently awaiting briefing.

The run through the darkened sewer pathways was harrowing at best. Elara felt her shoulder aching but hurried all the same, barely finding her way. Thankfully the lights started coming back, the sure sign that she was making her way back to civilization. But Elara knew she couldn't just run the whole way; the woman had been sent here to do a job, and leaving would just allow him to eat more people. This needed to be solved, not just survived.
[break][break]
Elara ran, swerving and weaving to avoid more swipes of the cleaver. Gator man hissed the whole way and seemed especially excited the second time he managed to get a glancing slice of Eel skin. "I really, really don't want to be lunch!" She kept running and her waders kept squeaking, but finally Elara found herself back in the room with the slimes. It wasn't exactly well lit, but even in her frantic need to get away Eel was able to stop a clearly crumbling area of the ceiling. A plan fomented there in that moment.
[break][break]
She stopped and turned on her heels, Gator stopping in his tracks as Elara took up her own fighting stance. The slimes could still be heard quietly picking at their leftovers. Elara threw herself down to the lower landing and narrowly avoided taking a dip. The slimes though all reacted poorly, especially as Gator jumped down after Eel. Two of them ran, one of them flattened themselves against a wall. The fourth though...
[break][break]
"It's you!" It hadn't been necessary- Elara was going to find something to throw either way, but here, in this moment? Orange Crusher squelched there in place and Elara had never been quite so happy to see a viscous anvil. She gave attention back to Gator Man and hit him with her Anathema, furthering those guilty statuses and hindering his movement. The carnivore startled in place this time, the ailments finally catching up to him. Maybe he was feeling bad about eating people, maybe he felt guilty about trying to cut Elara up with a butcher's knife. Maybe he just felt bad about walking out on his wife and kid all those years ago in a past Earth.
[break][break]
It didn't matter, and Elara wasn't a mind reader anyways. She took advantage of the enemy's cannibal pause and grabbed hold of Orange Crusher, straining her legs and arms, even her hurt back into a low squat. Twisting as carefully as she could she spun and hurled, releasing O.C. at a particularly 'crumbly' looking bit of ceiling above her, but not before Crusher re-shaped the area Elara held into little spikes. Regardless of pierced hands though Eel was able to hit her mark. The ensuing rumble and groan of concrete above told her as much.
[break][break]
From there Elara threw herself across the platform to the other side of the waterway as tunnel collapsed onto Gator man and the whole room began to fall into itself. Elara was hit by a fairly large bit of concrete as she climbed the ladder back to the upper walkway but managed not to be knocked unconscious. Gator for his part tried to chase, hopping across and reaching a grubby hand at Elara's pant leg, but was buried under further rubble.
[break][break]
She kept running regardless. Elara was fairly certain the cannibal had been buried, but the cave-in- tunnel in?- continued until the room and the entrance to it in the tunnel itself was inaccessible. Elara felt herself heal a little, the tell-tale sign of defeating a guilty foe.
[break][break]
Hopefully Paris would be safe from alligators and people who imitated them hereafter.

Introductions may have been in order when you meet a new person. Even down in the underbelly of a Parissian sewer someone might be inclined to make friends- it was certainly the type of place Elara might imagine Gleeford socializing in. She found herself wishing he were here, if only to be an extra deterrent against being actually cannibalized, but she would have to settle for placing the lamp down and putting hands up as non-defensively as she could. The manigator squinted a little further, clearly acclimated to a darker setting.
[break][break]
Then he drew his knife. Chipped and stained, the butcher's cleaver seemed small in his large hands. "Hey, hey, we don't need knives, right?" Wrong. He took a few steps forward, still growling. The look in his eyes... he was hungry. Elara could nearly smell the killing intent in the space. No, actually that was probably just the sewer still. She backed away a little and gatorfellow followed. It seemed like this would only end one way.
[break][break]
"Fine!" Elara swiped and unleashed her spectral skull, eyes blind and teeth ragged. It floated through the air with the slight wail of a forgotten soul and clamped down on his knife arm. The teeth sunk in and took flesh, but rather than the usual guilt Gatorman just seemed to get more angry. Finally he hissed, not quite like that of a reptile but a bit closer to what Eels had been expecting. With forearm bloody and flesh torn, he still held onto his blade and charged. He seemed unphased.
[break][break]
Elara however was quite phased. She turned to run, barely avoiding having an arm taken off by the cleaver and instead settling for a very unclean cut to the back of her shoulder. She sprinted anyways. Gatorman was in hot pursuit. He nearly caught her in that initial burst, but seemed to slow down in the sustained run. Like a true gator.

Continuing on showcased even more utensils, plates, old and new torn clothes- all stained with blood. None of it was fresh, but it was foreboding nonetheless. Confusing enough was the lack of teeth marks on anything, and the clearly human prints left in blood on a large salad fork. "Does the gator have hands?..." Nah, the quest giver would have mentioned something strange like that.
[break][break]
The further into the sewers, the worse the smell permeated the mask. Elara rubbed more menthol on the inside but it could only do so much. She carried on through the concrete tunnels, feeling more and more cold the further she got from outdoors. She figured she was at least a few city blocks worth underground by this point. Elara found herself at an open runoff area, hearing a familiar liquid sound besides the gently listing sewage.
[break][break]
"Bah, more Oranges." Looking down at the platform below she could spot a group of the things, all calmly globbing over something solid, something with bits attached to it. Something familiar... "Oh, a skeleton." The slimes obscured the shape but it was still unmistakable- that was a picked clean corpse down there, distinctly human. The creatures seemed uninterested in her, content to scavenge. Elara snuck on by.
[break][break]
The lights got more and more sparse, left cared for the deeper into the tunnels she went. Some were even broken, glass still shattered on the ground. Still more bones, old scraps of newspaper smeared like napkins. Finally there in one of those weird pits that some sewers have, the big square room, lit only by the light reflecting off the water from down a faraway pipe. Elara heard it before she saw, the low growl. A warning. She pulled a lantern from her inventory and checked below, but saw no nose poking up from the water. In fact, didn't alligators usually kind of hiss when they growled?
[break][break]
Two human hands clambered up the side of the fetid pit, stained with anything and everything. The growl continued as a face emerged, bearded with wild, matted hair. His face was covered in viscera, and the stench of rot intermingled with that of waste. He stood taller than Elara with muscles glistening in the lamplight from a recent swim in the water. He bared fangs, and from his belt Elara spotted a half-eaten human arm. She'd found the 'alligator', apparently.

She continued through the sewers, the plastic squeak of her waders combining with the echoing symphony of boots clicking and running water. There were two sets of footsteps, Gleeford following along. The smell was kept at bay surprisingly well by Elara's mask setup. It was a pretty peaceful walk, especially considering how dangerous the place was supposed to be. Elara felt a little at peace. Her mind wandered to before the apocalypse. The squeak of her shoes brought back throws of squeaky toys. She could almost hear Tanq gnawing on one, right there in that echoey tunnel-
[break][break]
And then another one. "Um..." She turned to Gleeford, who was suddenly, mysteriously, absent. In his place blobbed along a little orange slime, like the color of a soda Elara liked. Had Glee turned into a slime? No, unlikely- the chatty prick had probably just wandered off somewhere. He was always going off on his own and leaving other's to do all the work. Eel would just have to take care of this herself. The slime had a frown imposed on their malleable features. The slime was kinda cute in a way.
[break][break]
"Alright small one, this doesn't have to end bloody." Orange Crusher's body flared, changing shape and taking on a form like an anvil. The anvil still had a frown. "Not a quitter, then." She knew she was intruding on this slime's perceived territory, she knew she was in the wrong. But still, the case of the human-eater. Elara had to stay. She moved forward and gave the slime a hit of Anathema, her horrid spectral visage terrifying the slime and sending them scooting under the railing and into the water. Non-violent, though still a bit intervening for her taste.
[break][break]
Left behind by the slime however were things that had been floating around in their core, detritus from the habitat most likely, some of which were eating utensils. More interesting were the discarded paper plates further down the walkway, still smeared with red-brown stains. Couldn't be blood...

Elara did her best to stay seated, as she had been so kindly asked. What had originally felt like a kind suggestion started to feel closer to wishful thinking as Ingrid began her four-wheeled dance through the wood. The rainbow road assisted in their pursuit of the centauress, letting Diana turn and twist on air itself and at times even going nearly sideways between trees. Elara for her part was gripping the chromatic hand-hold above her window and the back of the mid-seat arm rest with the other, creating as much tension as possible so she wouldn't be jostled and overturned. The seatbelt was being put through it's paces tonight.
[break][break]
They swerved and raced, with Ingrid's troubles being finally met with a satisfying crack against the greedy huntress. Diana was worse for wear but could thankfully be re-summoned in better health. Elara let her left arm off the rest to do a little victory pump but quickly returned it to keep herself steadied, though the duo had slowed since the assault. She prepared for a counterattack once she noticed Ingrid noticing their opponent trailing behind, likely looking for an opportunity to counterattack despite the hindered status. It came swiftly in the form of another arrow in what Elara had to admit was an impressive shot over the hood. Any awe however felt was washed away at the sight of her injured friend.
[break][break]
"Shit, Iggy!" Too close, far too close. Elara grabbed at the massive arrow embedded in the seat and considered breaking it to make room- it had pierced the seat, so the tried and true method should work. She snapped the arrow as close to the seat as she could, making a point to pull it rather than push. Elara only sustained one splinter bouncing harmlessly off her lip, then gripped the arrow by the front and yanked it through the seat. The car chimed a little which the friction. "We'll have to dress that later-"
[break][break]
Elara leaned back toward her side of shotgun and undid her belt, Diana still in hot pursuit. Eel was able to lean out of the window and carefully hoist herself torso-first out of the window, legs wedged between the seat and the door in a rather uncomfortable position. Her left hand gripped the underside of the roof and stung a little, as Elara realized she'd nicked herself on the arrowhead. A problem for later. For now the archer was still just in range, though trying to create space with the trees as she likely prepared her next barrage. Elara had her own ranged attack, however.
[break][break]
Perhaps not as flashy as an action-shot over the hood of an oncoming vehicle, Elara whipped a hand forward and sent that gnashing spectral face hurtling noiselessly outward into the woods, between trees and clamping onto the already injured leg that Ingrid had smashed. The ethereal skull clamped down with jagged fangs with a sickening crunch; Elara winced. She imagined it like getting caught in a bear trap, which undoubtedly sucked. A fitting analogy for the unscrupulous hunter, though. She hunched and got her face as close to the open window she hung out of.
[break][break]
"Bring us in again doll, we've got her on the ropes!" Elara surely wouldn't pay for her confidence, right?

A flash lightened the sky and took over Elara's vision for a moment, followed by the crack and rumble that only a stormy sky could make... or one of those rain playlists some folks sleep to. It drowned out the din of battle for a second and made the world feel still, almost calm amidst nature instead of death.
[break][break]
It wasn't meant to last. Elara kept an eye on her section of boat but surveying her fellow group members, all doing their part in fending off the fish-folk attack. Ingrid was spectacular as usual with her singing constructs, impressive every time she'd seen her in action. Kurai too was no slouch, with a power set a bit more reminiscent of what Elara had been given. Panya of course was a sight, impressive and intimidating even just in presence with her massive weapon. And then the old man, rambling still, but clearly filled with some kind of bloodlust. If this island was going to be a challenge, it seemed like a good group to tackle it with.
[break][break]
For the forsook's part though they weren't going to give up easy. Another gilled humanoid started crawling their way onto Elara's end of the boat, either unaware of their comrade who had been fully dis-armed or uncaring. They didn't look much more scary than the first one Elara had seen. They were a little bit faster though, and crested the railing of the deck with a wet 'thud' against the ship deck. They swiped out at Eels and narrowly missed with a slimy claw but still managing to snag and tear a sleeve. Elara resisted the urge to jump back and instead took a few measured steps so as not to slip before readying her stance and flicking a hand toward her attacker.
[break][break]
That same spectral face full of bone and gnashing teeth flew out, grabbing the fishmin around the midsection and clamping down, then tearing. Whether or not this wound seemed immediately fatal her opponent collapsed anyways. Another unfortunate victim.

It was always nice to be around someone in sync with yourself. Though entirely different in methodology, interests, even food tastes, Ingrid and Elara were good at being united. Tonight it was unity in righteous anger, revenge for the slaughtered fauna. So when the barrage of arrows rained out Elara felt a sort of relief. Frustration, sure, that she was being thrust into another fight, a fight that was probably avoidable, but still- relieved that the enemy had announced themselves so soon. Ingrid was likely more frustrated having been out here for a few days though, and so Elara would take no leisure in this retribution, and little joy. It would be concise.
[break][break]
She leaned off the window from her camera stance and stowed the vintage tool in that little nook most cars had between the gear shift and the arm rest. No, Ingrid took off at speed and was maneuvering with her useful flair. Elara grabbed the camera as the car went nearly sideways and deposited it in her inventory. She was getting good at sending and retrieving things from it quickly anyways- Eel had always been good at loot management in the games she played. With that done she stilled herself and refrained from talking, though she didn't have much to say. Though their attacker was on the hunt, so was Elara.
[break][break]
Diana went invisible, the tell-tale chiming of otherworldly prismatic crystal halting. All Elara heard was the whistle of wind as they wove through trees, Ingrid moving quickly in between trees and fanning out from their original starting location. She heard the thud of something against a tree they'd passed some time ago. Nearly a minute in stealth and still no hide nor hair, until the slight sound of something against ground. Running. Someone between the trees- for legs? Elara finally caught sight of the centaur, still moving and repositioning. She was a skilled shooter. Regardless, the undetectable pair got close enough for Elara to be in operable range. There would be plenty of time to attack, so for now she would hamper her prey.
[break][break]
Elara's eyes glowed and an illusory visage overtook her own, rotting skin and bone, jagged fangs, milky, sunken eyes in long-dead sockets. Elara wasn't sure how using Anathema from a hidden place would work, but she was certain their opponent would see it. They certainly reacted as such. It was too dark and just far enough away Elara didn't see her expression at being haunted by something vaguely resembling the myriad of creatures she had killed, but her startled moved and quick turns were enough to confirm. She was moving scared, a little less focused in her circling of the battleground, the bow-woman made as if to retreat, but turned on four heels and with a flourish released an arrow before zagging away into the forest, a little slower than before.
[break][break]
The sound-dampened thud made Elara glance around warily. She leaned out and looked to the side of the car, closer to the back. The arrow shaft protruded from where a gas tank might have been on this vehicle if it weren't a hard light construct. "Hells..." Was the huntress reading the air waves or something? Maybe her instinct was just that good. A daunting foe indeed.

Elara found a fog lift a little with 'ma chérie' in the air. The double pecks was new, though. It was nice; Elara flushed a little. She wanted to say something or even give a hug, show a sign of familiarity as well. The moment passed. Eel shifted the backpack and would make a point to try and remember the meal later- it would be a first test to see if her companion liked the general flavor palette Elara cooked with, or if she'd even like it at all. "Sure thing, should stay warm for awhile in the- thermosesis."
[break][break]
Looked back to the fallen creature for a second, Elara felt that warm feeling in her chest take backseat. "But are they a bad shot or a cruel hunter- doesn't matter." The end result was the same regardless. She perked up at confirmation of a ride as Elara didn't relish walking in the damp countryside, especially in the dark. Still, she wasn't sure how they were meant to hunt the creature in these conditions either. Perhaps getting close enough for Elara to activate her Anathema and slow it. But did that constitute as harm, making a deer feel immense remorse? How would that even manifest?
[break][break]
It always impressed Elara the way Ingrid brought the car around, and she felt a renewed sense of belief in their mission. She opened the door and quickly slid into her usual shotgun and moved her backpack to inventory. On being handed a far nicer camera than she'd gotten herself she stowed her own and took the rental. "Of course. This thing looks... hard to find. I like it though." Camera in hand and window rolled down, Elara was ready to hunt for that perfect shot. Far away in the trees a light sound carried it's way on the slight breeze, just over the sound of the rustling trees. Something hard against wood. She pointed toward the sound but didn't quite see anything; it was well past the visible tree line. "Antler against tree, maybe. Or hoof?... Do we know if this one even has antlers?"
[break][break]
They wouldn't be able to track via the ground particularly easily while driving through the woods, headlights or no, but Diana was pretty quiet, so the prospect of following sound seemed viable. This was of course assuming the hind even had antlers to rub. Elara readied the camera out the window, steadying herself for the pic the way a sniper would for a kill. "And what if we find the cervid serial killer? I wouldn't mind doing more than take a picture of them." The venom in her voice was easily noticeable without any facial cues. Suffice to say she was offended with their work.

It was boring here in the Parisian apartment alone. Elara spent so much time just trying not think, not to feel. The loss of the old world was still so raw, still being processed. The loss of her whole world still stung. She missed Wendy, she missed the dog. She wanted to start a new book but was reminded of Priscilla. Day two was no better; the café didn't need extra hands for shifts, the one place Elara had found she could bury her time away and turn off the nagging part of her brain. Rather than find another part-time she told herself this was for the best, that the time spent alone with her thoughts would be therapeutic- and sure, maybe in time she would find catharsis, make grand revelation. Even find peace. But it was still too raw.
[break][break]
The third day was a little easier. Elara was getting used to the flux of having distractions and suddenly not. Life still felt cumbersome but she found it in her to take some notes, draft ideas. Write a poem. She properly cooked something for the first time in... well, since before the world ended. A nice little vegetarian soup with some toasted bread, not fancy but filling and fulfilling. Elara tidied up the apartment and imagined the kinds of shenanigans that Ingrid might be getting up to on her lonesome. She missed her friend.
[break][break]
A message blip took Elara's attention away from preparing dinner, or rather just reheating leftover soup and adding a little more spice and bouillon to it. Ingrid had been having trouble and needed help with chasing a deer? More specifically, chasing an incredibly fast deer and taking a picture of it, a creature so quick it was able to avoid even the flash of the camera. It seemed daunting indeed, especially when Ingrid was speed demon in those conjured vehicles of hers. Elara packed up as much of the soup as she could into some thermos- "Thermoses? Thermosi?" and a fresh crusty baguette she'd bought at a market that morning. "Mmm, pain au chocolat for good measure."
[break][break]
It took maybe thirty minutes to get to the waypoint and make her way to the designated coordinates. Elara found the seamstress walking away from her car, examining something that Eel wasn't able to discern until she got a bit closer. "Oh..." She sidled up to Ingrid and stood sideways, facing the corpse. "That's- sad." Elara shifted uncomfortably and scanned the area around, then produced her own small camera purchased just for this job and hung it by the strap around her neck. "I brought food, but it looks like we might be in more of a hurry than I'd expected. You driving, Iggy?"

Ingrid's arrival was a kind break from staring out into the waters, listening to chatter while unsure how to jump in. Elara rubbed at her wrists and nodded at the advice though she was uncertain whether that would actually help or not. She was unsure whether her building nausea was even due to the sea of which she'd only just looked at- it was more likely from nerves. Regardless, Elara planted eyes on the horizon and did her best to listen. She smiled lightly and nodded to Seere, and though she had a book of her own assumed they were asking about the absolutely massive one Panya had.
[break][break]
Listening didn't seem to be sustainable however as Rojin launched into a full-blown monologue. At the point he'd addressed Elara she opened her mouth to jump in, only getting out an "Oh, I'm-Elara..." She was steamrolled, brow-beaten. In different conditions Elara would typically respond to this type of lambasting by just walking away, but this was the group for the day; the woman would just have to deal wit it. A small consolation was that Ingrid would probably respond much more willfully. For now, Elara was fine letting it play out as is. She made way onto the ship as the time came.
[break][break]
The ship itself was about as eventful, occasional chatter and light snacking while Elara mostly chimed in as she could between bouts of genuine seasickness. It hadn't been just nerves. She held herself over the railing of the sloop occasionally spitting, doing her best to look at the horizon. "Bleh..." As the chop rolled in and the rain came down, Elara looked ahead trying to spot the island but only seeing a skyline-high wall of fog that connected to the stormy downpour. She shivered in the new cold and pulled up her hood just as a strange bump sounded beneath the water. There wasn't any noticeable flotsam, sea creatures weren't known for just bumping into moving vessels-
[break][break]
"Ah, shit." Hands reached out from the murky ocean first and grasped onto the side before a sudden lurch brought a head and torso further out of the water and grasping the railing of the boat. It was humanoid in shape but with fangs and webbed appendages, eyes with extra lids and bluish algae colored skin. It was rough and textured somewhere between a person and a shark. Two more swarmed her side of the boat, and thankfully Elara had assistance in repelling the first round of attack while a particularly bulky specimen clambered it's way toward Elara. She backed away from her position at the rail and waited for it to crest. "Just look to the horizon..."
[break][break]
The fish-fellow started to haul itself over, silhouetted at the back by the storm worsening in the distance- presumably the closer they got to the island the worse it would get. Even the wave themselves seemed to grow. But that was an issue for the captain; Elara had fighting to do. Adrenaline picked up and helped her ignore the worst of the seasickness for the time being, and she brought an arm back and down to conjure her spectral core. That awful decaying skull leapt forward and clamped down toward the neck, but the forsaken threw themselves back from the rail and into the water. Only a disembodied arm clung to the railing still, blood trailing into the water below and under the ship. "Oh, that's probably not fatal. Sorry buddy." Perhaps they would go on to live a peaceful one-armed life. Everyone else seemed to be in the throes of combat as well, some enjoying it far more than others. Elara herself was content to just survive.

"Alright, what's the move Ingrid? Erm, Ingrid?" Ever the independent Ingrid had disappeared and gone off on her own, the slight shimmer of the Diana coasting noiselessly past the new bot challenging Elara. Eel for her part had forgotten about the rule of not splitting up, but it had made sense to leave the car since she wasn't sure if she could fight within it. She cursed internally; they probably could have just snuck past all the forces and grabbed the documents and gone. Elara had been too eager.
[break][break]
"My plan, then, is to kick your ass. It's not personal." She drew her knife from it's holster at her hip and readied herself, a myriad of decisions to make. Did she attack from afar or- no, the automaton decided for her by starting into a full sprint and closing the distance in seconds. Elara had to bright her knife up and threw an arm to the side, barely deflecting the fish-cutting sword. She moved in close and wrapped an arm around the wrist that held the weapon. She jerked to one side and tried to throw the bot off balance but it was better planted than she was, and Elara slipped on the greasy fish floor. "Shit!" Automata pulled back it's blade and narrowly missed slicing Elara on the way back before thrusting it's arm forward into a stab.
[break][break]
Elara closed in again, shifting her center of mass instead of her feet to avoid slippage as she twisted to avoid the jab. The bot was faster and she didn't see herself getting as much distance as she would have liked, so Elara would attack from close. She wrapped her arms around their own and held tight as she could before throwing her head back and opening her mouth wide. Elara made for a biting motion and plunged forward, not making contact with her own teeth but summoning the spectral skull inches from her face, like a ghostly overlay. Ruined teeth clamped down and bit, tearing at fake skin and metal underlay, wires and tubes. Synthetic blood spattered Elara's actual face a little, and it tasted absolutely foul. The automaton went limp.
[break][break]
"Phtoo- bleh! Were they making this stuff out of old fish oil or something?" Messy but triumphant Elara moved through the cannery to find her companion, thankful that Ingrid seemed to have dealt with the more pressing danger. "Hey Iggy, let's bounce."

Elara took the offered handkerchief and daubed at her bloodied head, getting the worst of it but failing to stop the bleeding. It didn't hurt much but it was in one of those spots that just seemed intent on leaking. She held it there while waiting, letting Ingrid carry out whatever scheme she had concocting. She paced a little and tried to close her eyes, taking even the briefest respite despite the cacophony. Eel checked and rechecked her clothes, remembering her magical shoes, then peered out the alley as best she could to watch Ingrid work.
[break][break]
Something about the summoning of the car was always captivating, and especially so here on a battleground. Elara breathed deep and prepared, the car speeding in toward her, passenger door on the other side now. The car had been changed, or perhaps improved. Eel had heard the last half of Ingrid's sentence but it was more than enough to spur the woman into action. She sprinted out and into the open gunfire, pelted further by flying concrete as she dashed into the seat. Knowing her friend had a penchant for naming all of her conjured vehicles, she would have to ask.
[break][break]
They weaved through debris new and old, the tires not so much screeching or slipping but singing the whole way there. The new christened car raced it's way toward a ramp made of a vehicle carrier, the metal slats down and a thin slab of metal across the roof of the cab. Ingrid lined it up perfectly and sent the car sailing toward a massive wide window and crashed through it. At the slight angle they hit ground and once more the car sang out, chiming like a crystal glass, Ingrid whipping it into a drift and stopping there on what looked like the main floor of the cannery.
[break][break]
"Ingrid, that was..." Adrenaline surged despite the new quiet that Elara took in, the cannon fire having entirely stopped. The automatons were no doubt regrouping. Elara stayed there planted in the seat for a moment more even though she probably needed to be rushing. "That was fucking spectacular." She looked to Ingrid as she grabbed the door and opened it, beaming a crooked smile, then stepped out.
[break][break]
The area was stained from years of dead and likely some still-living fish being piled in, an opening yawning off the side leading out into open air, likely where the water once was. There were machines of some sort, maybe a kind of diffuser above the entryways, and somehow the ever-present fog hadn't made it's way in here. Much of the old hooks and conveyer setups were repurposed with parts of machines strewn about, though none of it was running. Surveying the room Elara turned and, in the opening to what was probably a more general sorting area a new silhouette strode through the plastic flaps separating the rooms. It bore resemblance to the other machine the duo had fought but seemed newer, or just more finished. They had less of a twitch and wore a full outfit of mismatched but clean clothes, and wielded an oversized fish-cutting blade. Wordless, they pointed at Elara, weapon-first.

The duo had just a moment's respite. Thankfully Ingrid was unharmed, and ever constant in her position of grandeur and grace had stood before Elara could properly offer help. Eel rather admired that force of will, something she herself struggled with. Elara fell back into stride with Ingrid, moving a bit quicker than before. She couldn't help but notice that the attacker from before still twitched there on the ground but seemed defeated, inoperable. A pale synthetic substance seeped from some wiring onto the ground.
[break][break]
It was almost peaceful there in the street, a battle won. It was short lived. Explosions rang out from down the road with multiple flashes lighting up empty windows and the rooftops. Ingrid had barely started in her warning, and Elara had been distracted taking another glance at her previous foe. The pavement around her lit up with explosive shells, bits of street and shrapnel veering past in whistling trajectories. The street was a battleground once more. Elara sprinted to catch up, feeling the pings of small things hitting her clothes, thankfully avoiding the worst of the shots.
[break][break]
Elara was able to scurry into the alleyway behind Ingrid panting, sliding further and further from the road where the shots continued to rain. Looking out at the body left behind Eel noted it had been utterly decimated in the attack. Elara began checking herself. She felt at the few impacts she'd noticed while running, finding most of it to have been hard and fairly slow moving debris. Probably bits of the road itself bouncing off her jacket and pants, bruises at worst. One spot on her face though stung, and she brought a hand up to gingerly feel for it. Her ears were ringing and she turned to face Ingrid.
[break][break]
"Mmm, doing my best." Was all she could get out as she was barely able to hear herself speak, let alone Ingrid. Finally she found the offending intrusion, a sliver of thin metal wedged at an odd angle into her forehead. It was small, maybe the length of a short fingernail, and thankfully wobbled conspicuously; it had been a shallow wound, almost a graze. She peeled the piece out and let it drop to the ground, a small trickle of red making it's way toward her brow. "Ready when you are."

For a moment the chiming paused as Ingrid's summoned car began to disappear, and Elara didn't immediately notice. She felt the cold air start to seep in around her, attributing it to the thing having been turned off, but this wasn't exactly a regular vehicle. Then she heard the screaming whisper of wind, and assumed it was because the window had been down. Fully sitting in an upright position and shifting her weight to position the backpack off her lap and open the door, Elara was surprised to see that she was just... floating there. For a moment the woman was weightless, a strange feeling only comparable to the one time she'd ridden a rollercoaster. Then with a small yelp she fell those few feet to the damp ground, not hurt but confused. Still, she took it in stride and stood up, adjusting slightly and donning the pack.
[break][break]
Elara dutifully followed along, looking this way and that for any telltale signs of danger. The wind was loud and distracting, making Eel uncertain if there were some creature crying out or just the rush of air through broken glass. Occasionally an open window or door would slam against a frame, producing a noise that made certain to keep Elara alert. Conversation helped pull her back to the task at hand. "Ah, that's a shame. I'd much prefer the lovely beachside way right about now." She continued with Ingrid along the damp streets, stepping over and around all manner of junk and leftovers about. The end of the world really was a messy thing, all said.
[break][break]
"Yeah, sticking together seems right. I don't want to get caught alone in a place like this, attacked by automatons or, uh, golems? Whichever." The further they pressed in, the more she wondered why someone would even set up shop here to begin with. Maybe the cold helped keep the creations running, perhaps they ran hot. Alternatively, they were powered by fish, hence the cannery. Elara sniffled a little, suddenly noticing a stinging smell, like burning wires or the dying motor on an oscillating fan. They rounded a corner and the smell grew more distinct, and Elara finally spotted another living thing.
[break][break]
Or maybe living wasn't quite the word. It certainly moved, an inconsistent jittery thing that twitched a little bit but was otherwise perfectly, eerily still. It had eggshell skin with an unfinished sort of appearance, the body itself being human-shaped but devoid of distinctions. Stark white hair sat atop it's head and it wore only old, dirty slacks, a size too small and unbuttoned, fitting snug. The eyes were the most startling thing about it, right up until- "Oh shit-"
[break][break]
The skin of their arm peeled and folded as the hand itself shifted and an armament took it's place, the mechanoid taking aim at the duo. Ingrid had been swift enough (and clever) to use her road the way she did, an application Elara hadn't even considered to date, but found herself quite impressed by. As the artillery made impact on the road and sent Ingrid back, Elara was already moving, worried as she was about her friend. She went around the seamstress at an arc and charged forward, hoping desperately that the creation would have to reload after an attack like that, but keeping to a semi-wide angle in case she needed to dive away from another attack. Luckily it did seem to whir and clink, loading another shell of some kind from an auxiliary compartment in the same arm, and Elara was able to close in and activate her core with the clawed swipe of a hand. A spectral face with cervid skull and jagged, rough fangs hurtled forward and clamped down in the area between the neck and shoulder, ripping at the robot and tearing away the upper portion of torso. The head didn't come off, but enough of it's core components were damaged and it hung from the neck via it's paper skin, exposed wiring and tubing freshly severed. It fell to the ground.
[break][break]
"They're built...very human." She hadn't expected the attack to work, but they didn't seem to be made durable, just deadly. Elara turned to Ingrid and jogged back to offer a hand for her companion to use in standing, anxiously looking around while she did for another attack. The automatons didn't seem to favor sneaking as their main means of extermination, though. "Are you alright, Ingrid?" Worry was clear in her voice.
