In A Dark Alley
Date of Scene: 21 January 2019
Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Venom, Ravager




Venom has posed:
This particular job went pretty well. The gangsters Rose had been hired to assassinate were of the scummiest of variety, real scumbags, the kind who used to treat her mother like garbage back in the day. The kind it felt good to kill. And she was going to get paid for it. Double score.

Of course, in the deeper shadows of the alley outside the building, something else stirs. Something inhuman. Something hungry. In the void beneath the fire escape, the darkness itself moves and slips into the downstairs window. Rose comes in from the roof. Venom from below. They'll meet somewhere in the middle.

Ravager has posed:
The mysterious Ravager slinks along the rooftop and seems ready to finally put an end to these dubious thugs, who have wormed their way into the city from overseas. She is stocked with firearms at each of her hips and double swords along her back, ready to shoot and decapitate them. She knows them. She seems focused and driven.

Ravager finds it easy to pry open the rooftop fire entrance, allowing her to enter the build. She stalks along the upper level, gazing down at the men gathering below, next to their GMC van. She hops over the railing and jumps down in the midst of them, insanely putting herself at risk....for blood. She smiles and raises her twin pistols, like she's The Shadow all of a sudden, "Eat it," she tells them.

Venom has posed:
The lower level thugs downstairs find themselves suddenly enveloped in darkness, strong arms wrapping around them. Ribs crack and their screams are smothered by the symbiote crawling into their throats, muffling their cries as Venom gets his first taste of blood for the night.

Rose startles those she attacks, catching them with their proverbial pants down, trying to get their guns out in time. A couple of them just straight run, while three go down in gouts of blood, bullets perforating their bodies as the young assassin does her dirty work.

Ravager has posed:
Ravager really doesn't have to do much, as the mysterious darkness does most of the work as she stands there in a crouch shooting those who come into her linesight. She frowns at the mysterious darkness with some concern, probably not expecting such a thing on the eve of her coup de gras. She guns down those who try to escape.

When the action dies down, Ravager is still there in the middle of the room, tense and stiff, her guns leveling at the movement around her but there isn't much left to shoot, only the mysterious darkness. She narrows her eyes suspiciously at it, turning both guns on it with careful aim, "What are you...who's there...?" she wonders.

Venom has posed:
Venom flings his last victim across the floor, the man's limbs twisted in odd angles, shivering in the throes of agony after the monstrous creature had its way with him.

Slowly, they emerge, living darkness smeared with white, the emblem of a massive spider across their chest, jaws open wide as a long, serpentine tongue flicks over razor sharp teeth. "What a cute little snack. But you seem to be on our side. We are Venom. We are pleased to meet you."

Ravager has posed:
Ravager stands up straight but doesn't take the guns off of Venom, feeling somewhat safer with aim directly on him/it, though she still looks tense because, "Shut the f*** up," she blurts out as he tries to be charming, but she clams up, not knowing what else to say. She looks defensive, perhaps expecting him to call her names too.

Instead, she finally looks away and glances at the thugs nearby, "These were just thugs I had to f****** whack," she explains, then eyes Venom again with a pleased smirk, "Easy job."

Venom has posed:
Venom chuckle, their head cocked at an askew angle. "Whackity whack. You're a little Lizzy Borden, yes, you are. Only you have guns instead of an axe. We like it," Venom says. They slip forward and casually pick up one of the limp bodies of Ravager's victims, peering down into the empty eyes.

"This is the one we came for. You got it first. But we don't hold a grudge."

Ravager has posed:
Ravager lowers her guns but keeps them in her hands like the Lone Ranger, ready to strike in a moment's notice, "What do you mean? What do you need him for?" she wonders.

She holsters both of her guns and turns the thug's chin toward her, looking at him with some sort of search for answers. She frowns confusingly at the thug.

Venom has posed:
Venom looks up, "This one hurt a woman. She was nice to us and then he stabbed her. Wanted her money. Stupid thing. We were going to eat his face. We still could, but it isn't as fun if they're already dead," Venom says.

The creature glances back up at the girl, "Those guns won't work on us, so you know. Shooting us will only make us angry."

Ravager has posed:
Ravager raises her chin as Venom tells her what to do, "I won't shoot you," she explains, "Right now..." she adds. Her frown fades as she thinks about Venom's touching story, "I got ya," she adds after he finishes his story time. "Well they're dead," she says with finality.
