If God Was In Hell We Would All Be Dead [OPEN | MINGLE]

Who: Who wants to kill some slavers? You do! Of course you do!
When: May 15th and onwards
Where: Slave trade outpost in the Runoff
What: The slavers that targeted the crew of the Moira in July are overdue for some justice. Chara breaks some regulations to make that happen. THIS IS A MINGLE LOG; anyone and everyone who wants to get in on this and kill some slavers is absolutely free to do so! Chara is relying on there being some chaos for this to work.
Warnings: PROBABLE DEATH. Probable references to slavery, trauma, and also death. Chara.


The Ingress opens to a spilling wash of gray and white, a monochrome cast of shadows and hard angles. The Runoff, it seems, is not a place of many colors; every inch of it is drab and washed out, cold and impersonal as the people who would employ such a place for their own twisted ends. A swirled nebula of stars glimmers overhead. It is night.

Knives are useful tools, but their reach is limited. A quiet transmission to the network, a select few messages delivered to a select few individuals, the hissing strike of a match igniting on the edge of a box. The place is angular and looks to be comprised of some sort of galactic equivalent of asphalt, likely inflammable. Still, it is entirely too dark. Too gray. Too poorly maintained. Tents and shabby establishments line the streets, places where, evidently, personal agency may be bought and sold on a whim.

It does not take long to find a structure of cloth and wood, and the whole of it soon emanates the rank, coppery tang of some interdimensional brand of gasoline.

Knives are useful tools. But they did not come with knives.

Or rather, they did not come only with knives.

One of the stalls is alight in a matter of moments. Red and gold tongues of flame gobbling the establishment whole, filling the place with both the color and light that it so lacked. Knobs of wood harvested from the wreckage form handy torches to set anything else aflame, to thoroughly raze the entire area to the ground, every stall and ship and vendor that supported and enabled the inflorescence of slave trafficking and slave keeping. Armed guards begin to converge on the disturbance at once. But small as said disturbance is, there is no guarantee that it will not come to grow.

That is, of course, where you come in.

One child alone cannot possibly take the entire place down, and flame can only take things so far. It is hardly enough when their aim is one of total destruction, however unrealistic an expectation that might be. They'll need help. Lots of it.

So won't you join the dance?

Laura knows that she shouldn't trust Erik. Her father doesn't care for him at all. And while Laura doesn't like the Magneto from the comics, she's come to find that she likes Erik as he is here. He understands her, he talks to her like she's an equal. He lets her sit in his lap while he reads to her, and teaches her new things. She's become very fond of him, and that's the only reason she doesn't snarl at him when he tells her to relax.

"Hurry," she tells him in Spanish, her voice a scream.

She doesn't care for the fire and how it constantly stings her and fills her senses, disorienting her completely. It would be nice if the fire just went away. But since that isn't happening, she waits for the room to stop spinning and hopes he can get her out quickly. Listening to him, she stays still.

This probably isn't going to be pleasant, but it's got to be more pleasant than being caught in the fire. He'll do this as quickly as he can, but while also doing his best not to hurt her any worse than she already is.

He holds his hand out flat, fingers spread, feeling for the metal he knows is contained within her, then lifts her lightly off the ground (but not very far) and draws her away from the fire and back down onto solid ground, out of the flames. She'll be safe now.

He just hopes Logan didn't see that.

Even the fact that he's helping her doesn't change the fact that she's freaked out by his using his powers on her. Her eyes are wide and she grunts a little as he moves her. Logic tells her that this is the easiest way to be brought back up to safety. She can't afford to get emotional right now.

"You came." She can't hide the disbelief and confusion in her voice.

Why is he here? Is it to help her fight, or to retrieve her? She doesn't have long to think about it before several men come charging at them, weapons drawn and ready to strike. Laura screams as she charges forward, hacking off the arm of the one that's holding a blaster. It falls to the ground and Laura slides past it on her knees, so she can slice at another's leg. With a roar she leaps up to tackle down one of the others, and stabs at his chest with her claws so that blood splatters and flies in the air.

This place is on fire, but it doesn't register. She needs to protect Erik.

"Of course I did." He hadn't come over to this place with the thought of making sure anyone made it back, but someone might think it was that. Or maybe she'd just meant that he came into this place to get her, which he had done, once he knew she was there.

The knife he's carrying flashes through the air and ends up deep in a slaver's belly, then flies through the air back to Erik's hand. He doesn't need protecting; he's capable of taking care of himself.

"We should get out of here."
