Echo Incursion: Monsters Walk the Earth
New Los Angeles. A city that was a shell of its former self. While Locke City, on the other end of the continent, had mostly risen from the ashes, Los Angeles as still a ruin and home to those few people who had managed to escape the destruction that devastated half of their country. Lawlessness and corruption ruled the streets, between both the groups of criminals and the military that kept the peace.
But it seemed things were finally beginning to change, here. Construction was going on in the heart of the city, which brought jobs. The governing body seemed to have a task that they could build towards, instead of simply chafing against the might of general Miller. It seemed that with this, that even with much work to be done, the long nightmare was soon to be over.
... At least, that's what it seemed like, until October ended.
It began in the areas that once played host to the film industry's studios and backlots, but soon spread out to the entire city. Halloween had passed, but it seemed almost like the fixation on the macabre had brought something terrible to life. Creatures that looked like they'd literally been born out of old black and white monster films stalked the city, like grim reminders of L.A.'s former glory. By Sunday, the news reached the national stage, with video footage of the apparitions being spread around like wildfire.
The governor made a statement, stating that General Miller and his forces would do everything in their power to deal with these things. That New L.A. had been dealing with monsters of a sort already. As such, increased patrols began in earnest from the eighth onward. But for that time, the danger would come not just from them, or the various progressive forms of the Vermini (which were also present in the city), but from the creatures of the night that now walked the city's ruined streets.
[OOC: Please refer to the plot post for any details and specifics for the event, and the beastiary for any details on the Vermedi/Vermini.

Truthfully, Rakka should have probably been more excited about punched a literal movie monster. It was basically a living fanfiction she was punching her way through.... but grosser. Way grosser.
Oh god. It lost a limb. Thank goodness it just disappeared though.
"Twilight!" Okay, codenames then. Rakka could roll with that as she pushed away another zombie. "Nice to see you too! How's it going here?"
no subject
She frowned, casually blasting several of them away so she could give herself and Rakka some breathing room. "Have you noticed they don't... really seem to be all HERE?"
no subject
"I know, it's like the whole city's turned into a haunted house." She added, skirting around one or two of the monsters, and pushing one away.
"Uh, yeah? I thought it was just some light messing with my eyes, at first. But then it kept happening..."
no subject
She grabs Rakka's shoulders, and tries to pull her away from the fighting, and then carry her to a nearby rooftop where the zombies can't reach.
no subject
Rakka wouldn't get used to others picking her up and flying around, but she's calmer now then she was as they set down on the rooftop of a building. She regains her footing like a pro and gazes down at the street.
"...Um, shouldn't we be down there, protecting the civilians?"
no subject
She looks back towards the zombies... a number of them have already started shambling towards them, ignoring their earlier target.
no subject
It sounds... just a little scary when she says it like that. But, well, people were in danger. Rakka was a hero. Do the math.
"...What do you want me to do?"
no subject
"We get them nearby and then use our strength to cave the ground in and dump them all in!"
