[Transmission 07] [July 2nd]
[CW: Judgement, blood, character death, traumatized Omen]
[The link sparks with red and white static as the view pulls away from a particularly heavy-looking wood door studded with nails, though as the view continues pulling back, it shows a gothic-looking structure that blends in with the rest of the buildings nearby. Only a muffled chorus of screams and yowls reveals what place this is. Just in the peripheral, one can glimpse someone's ear and a bit of a blond, short-trimmed sideburn as well as a bit of open white shirt collar.]
You're in a mood, boss. [Cypher speaks up first, and the viewer may realize they're seeing through the Omen's eyes as they sit on "the boss's" shoulder, looking backward.] That last case get to you?
Cases don't 'get to me'. You should know this by now.
[The view shifts and Cypher turns to look full on at the side Wesker's head as the Sleeper strides on through the streets.]
Maybe goin' to the seaside would 'elp. Ye told me you never went much and yer likin' it, since yer lived near moun'ains so much.
May this walk be a moment of quiet contemplation this night?
Awl right.
[They emerge into a small square with a number of Lumenwood flower beds. He passes by them. running one gloved hand over the flowers with an oddly tender touch.]
[The view seems to flex, for lack of a better way to phrase it. Then a huge figure in armor stands there, its form filling the view. Wesker takes several slow steps backward, the view angling up as Cypher seems to crane their neck to get a better view.]
Oh bollocks..
Oh God damn me... [There might be the tiniest note of panic in Wesker's voice]
.
Oh Gawd, Boss.... [The sorrow and fear in Cypher's voice are palpable,]
((OOC: One can approach this as either a transmission they've witnessed or they can come upon this scene

Indeed.
[The view turns back, giving a low angle on someone sprawled awkwardly on their back, minus their head, greenish blood spraying from their severed neck[The view shifts, jostles, confused movement among the flower beds and pattering footsteps on cobblestones. A metal on leather rustle and something flashes in the darkness. A loud gasp suddenly cut off by a wet, meaty splat, and the sound of something bouncing wetly.]
Oh Gawd, Boss.... [The sorrow and fear in Cypher's voice are palpable,]

no subject
[She knew darn well what happened and was doing her best to calm her freak out. Well, I had an easy month, that's what I get.
Who did this to him? That transmission was unclear.
no subject
[Cypher glances behind their shoulder.]
The Reckoning. I saw it comin', but 'e didn't. Too blind to 'is own shadows, or too attached to 'em. Or bofe, though 'e's done better than he 'as in the none-to-dis'ant past.
Action
Least of all her.
Still, Luz arrived quickly, taking stock of her decapitated "uncle" and sucking in a breath, trying not to scream out, doing her best to quiet the rising pain and panic].
L-let's clean him up. He-he'll be a squid soon.
Do you want to stay with him at this place, or would you like to come with me?
Re: Action
I thinks 'is colleagues will be 'ere soon to collec' 'im. Practical type that he is, 'e'd want them to take care 'o the necessary. But... He wants you to do the honors for his squid, an' I'd best go wiff you. Your one of the few he'd trust 'is squid wiff.
Re: Action
[She managed a hollow laugh, but she sure didn't feel it].
Wild horses couldn't keep me away from his squid! Or, well, in my case, wild Fathiers.
And of course you're coming with! I'll make a bed for you and everything. Hope you don't mind a wolf keeping an eye on us though. She gets very clingy when I'm in a sad mood.
[Luz did not sound very upset about that though].
[CW: Body horror, blood drinking, tentacular action]
I don't mind stayin' with you for a time. Don't mind a wolf. Majes sense she'd be clingy when yer sad. Wolves are sociable creatures: bet she sees ye like her cub. D'you mind if I nips out to Arklay House to check on the boss's plants and keep 'em watered?
[Something slithers across the pavement from about twenty feet away, where it's just crawled out of Wesker's head. A black squid with red eyes slithers toward the blood puddled among the cobblestones and splays out its tentacles, dipping its mouth parts into it and drinking some of the blood.]
Oyyyyy... what are you doing? I s'pose there's wasting not and wanting not, but be tidy about it.
[The squid waves some of its tentacles at Cypher, squeaking irritably.]
no subject
Good! I'll make a little place for you in my room. You can go check the House whenever you want, of course. I know Wesker would want his affairs in order.
[Luz looked over meaningfully at Tempest, who seemed to act as if she hadn't heard that].
Oh, OH! Looks like we have to get Wesker situated! Luckily, we do have blood in the house, and I can get Luca to help me look after him!
no subject
All right if I 'ave a little bed o' me own? a wee cushion 'll do. Maybe a fish tank for the boss.
[Of course the squid heard that and wriggles its tentacles irritably.]
S'pose 'e's going to need a fishbowl or something, too, at least till 'e's ready to go back to the sea.
[The squid whaps its tentacles at Cypher and spits ink in the Omen's direction.]
no subject
Right, sure, back in the sea. But I am going to get a big fish tank, so he's not too uncomfortable. Also, I should probably let Luca know we'll be putting him up for a while.
Luz petted Cypher, then gently picked up her friend.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you're taken care of."
no subject
The squid emits a low, appreciative squeaking rumble and settles in Luz's arms. Its pupils widen slightly, perhaps indicating relief or even pleasure.
"I think he's sayin' 'e 'preciates it, but 'e's a bit knackered from ...everything," Cypher translates. "But a fish tank would be acceptable."
no subject
She took the squid gently, careful not to squeeze too tight but very eager to get him transported to some water soon.
"Let's get back to the house as quick as we can! No time to lose!"
And she hopped onto the staff, ready to get them all back home.
no subject
Shadows might move against the walls of a building, taller than the black clad figures who approach, corvid masks hiding their faces, carrying leather satchels, some leaning on long staffs of their own. They pause, bowing their heads to Luz, and waiting, almost like crows about to inspect the body of a flock member.
no subject
"We'll take the staff, faster that way."
She paused at the figures, looking defensive.
"I'm taking him, ok? If you need to inspect th-the body, you can see it there."
no subject
"He wants it this way," adds the shortest of the figures says, raising their beak toward Luz.
The group steps back into the shadows, out of sight. The squid raises the end of one tentacle toward the group, the tip turned up, and emitting a low-pitched squip, as if giving them the thumbs-up.
"Take us away, Luz, we're ready," Cypher says, patting Luz's shoulder.
no subject
Luz said this through gritted teeth, so yes. It seemed like Wesker had fans. She'd have to ask about this later.
When Cypher brought the awkward silence though, Luz nodded eagerly and jumped on the staff.
"Oh thank Titan," she muttered. "What a day. I really hope this isn't a preview of what this month has to bring."
no subject
"Considerin' what fings the boss got up to, maybe The Reckoning will 'ave had enough and leave everyone else alone." The squid lets out an approving if irked sound. "I wasn't implying anything, boss."
no subject
After all, Luz could see ghosts, and that means she saw some pretty gruesome deaths: the gathering, however, reminded her a little bit of the factory, a memory she was perfectly happy not thinking about for a long time.
"I won't tell," she said, giving Cypher a wink. Well great. Now she couldn't tease Wesker about that, which would have been fun.
"I'm sure Wesker appreciates that," Luz said, chuckling, "however grumpy he seems about it now. But I think his mood will improve onve we get him into that water."
no subject
The squid emits a low squelch of agreement, its eyes closing sleepily as it winds its tendrils closer about Luz's arm, clearly welcoming the thought of a tank to rest in.
no subject
She didn't waste any more time though. The sooner she had Wesker in a tank recovering, the better. Hopefully no one at the house would object too much.
no subject
Cypher glances to the squid form of "the boss". "Take us away. Fink 'e's ready for a cozy bath before 'is trip."
End here?
