Need people to come throw things at me. It's... skill reassessment.

Rooftop, abandoned office building southeast corner of old business district. Metahumans welcome.

Pyramid helmet. I couldn't see his face. He had a big knife, too.

You've run into him?

The. Thing that killed that woman. In the alley? The one from that post that I went to--and then it--No, wait. I thought it was just...I thought it was in my head, Scarab said there was nothing there and--

How badly? Are you okay? I mean--well, duh, you're typing, but like.

... Ah. I saw it dumping a body so I confronted it, and - when you saw it, did things seem... different as you got closer? Because I'm sure the alleyway wasn't as dark and full of blood and guts when I started.

I'm fine, I just - it knocked me into a wall and cut open my side, but I'm being looked after. I could barely hurt it at all, though.

It was different, all right...I. Guess it wasn't real. Scarab was telling me it wasn't. Felt real. Still does. I'm not sure...I can't really. I don't know. It freaked me out bad.

I dunno if it can get hurt...

Hmm. It was real enough. Could it have been some kind of magic? - I don't blame you for being freaked out. It was... really creepy.

Everything has a weakness. We just need to find it. Or, well, let people with better suited powers find it, anyway.

Figures it'd be magic or something. Never anything I can like. Fight. If people really are getting...y'know. Maimed...Butchered, tossed at me...

I got a roommate who knows magic. Maybe there's a start?

It felt... wrong somehow, but there was definitely a body, and... I'm definitely going to have a scar, so. Magic seems like the most likely cause, or something else supernatural, at least.

Maybe. Are you going to be okay asking them about it?

[ooc: it's okay XD I don't even have notifs turned on so~]
scarabsuited: (er...sorry...)

If you want me to, I don't think it's really a matter of being 'okay' about it...Something's gotta be done.

You could wait and let me talk to them, but it's going to be a while before I'm in any real shape to do that, I'm afraid. And the sooner we do something about this, the better, so... please talk to them about it.

And... if you need to talk to someone about the freakiness of it all, I'll try to be here to listen, okay?
