Sea monster attack!
Who: The kidnappees, rescuers, and whoever wants to wait on the beach with towels. See here for an explanation.
When: Afternoon Day 102
Where: The beach
What: The device holding the sea monster at bay has been without power for two days, and now he's... lonely. Or angry. Angry and lonely. But now he's kidnapped some new friends!
The network has been spotty, cutting in and out for a couple days now, but luckily for everyone currently in the monster's grasp, Stane happens to be standing in the middle of a decent signal area.
"The sea monster is taking people! Hurry!"

"DONNA!" He had a feeling something was going to happen, and that one bloke on the messages had said it would. The Doctor just chose to ignore it, even though the feelings nagged at him as the power went off and he disclosed to Donna with such feelings.
But he never predicted his best mate to be taken, as he stood there, hair and clothes now clinging to his thin frame. Everyone was moving quickly, he wasn't sure who else was in here until he looked over to a very tall man with a sword next to him.
"Who else was taken? Do you know?"
no subject
What she wasn't expecting was to get snatched by a giant flippin' sea monster! Hadn't she been telling people all along about the giant flippin' sea monster and hadn't everyone thought she was crazy? Well, ha! Who's laughing now? Well actually, not Donna, because she's trying not to drown...
no subject
With his strength, he can swim quickly, even with his coat getting caught in the current and weighing him down, and he's far past needing to breath, so he doesn't bother to surface.
As he swims, another tentacle flings past him, narrowly missing his leg.
no subject
There has to be a way to loose that hold on Donna, there must be. A tentacle comes up alongside in the water, and Wallie can still touch bottom, and awkwardly in the water he manages to draw his sword, slash at it until it backs off. His sword is heavy, a liability in the water, but he won't let it sink, either.
no subject
Sputter for a moment, he wades closer to Wallie, "You'll anger it!" He comments as another tentacle rose in the air, threatening to smash into them. Quickly the Doctor pushed away from Wallie, ducking back into the water, now losing sight of Castiel.
"We need a plan!"
no subject
They say before you die your life flashes before your eyes. And what a life it is. Though whether it's her life flashing of unconsciousness kicking in it's hard to tell.
no subject
When he finally catches up to the tentacle that has Donna, the first thing he does is use what energy he can to create a small bubble of air around her head. Then he stabs at the tentacle, slicing into its strange flesh.
Another tendril wraps around his ankle as he's doing that, pulling him back, but it's thin and he bends to slice it cleanly through without hesitation.
no subject
Wallie glances over at the Doctor, but Shonsu's reflexes are thrumming through him wildly, and he wants action. Shonsu would never have had a fight like this, would have charged into it with a suicidal glee.
"Do you have any suggestions? I think it's pretty angry already!"
Maybe Castiel has the right idea.
no subject
The Doctor was pushed back, dunked under water briefly, but managed to pop back up. Bloody hell!
"I dunno which one has Donna, but that may be our only choice! Hack away until we find the right one. She won't last long underneath!" Was it Castiel that managed to chop it off? He may never know -- and where was Castiel!?
Why couldn't the bloody thing have taken him? At least he had a respiratory bypass to survive underwater!
no subject
She's vaguely aware of Castiel somewhere near by and movement in the distance but it's all a bit of a blur to her.
no subject
He jabs it hard and grabs for Donna's wrist in hopes that it will slacken.
no subject
With a strangled yell, and the light of Shonsu in his eyes, Wallie strikes at a nearby tentacle, cuts it deep. It cringes, pulls away, but moments later it returns to snake around Wallie in vengeance.
There's a slice of blades, needles, something in his flesh, but for the moment he hardly registers it. Wallie tries to strike at the tentacle that holds him, but it's an awkward angle and a poor wound that he inflicts; his sword drops from his hand, down into the water.
no subject
This was not looking good.
no subject
It's all still a bit of a blur. All bodies and hacking and slashing and flailing tentacles.
no subject
"Are you injured?"
no subject
Around him, the tentacle gives him a vicious squeeze, then flings him to one side; Wallie hits the water with a splash. Were things different he could swim to safety, but now, he simply can't. He sinks, unable to swim to the surface, and he doesn't even have the muscle control to hold his breath.
He thinks of Jja as water enters his lungs, cold and dense, and blacks out shortly after.
no subject
A short moment later, which really felt like an hour later given the Doctor's current state, he spots something break the surface of the water - Castiel and something that looked awfully alot like Donna.
Swallowing down the numbness, he quickly rushes to them. "Is she alive!?" Because he wouldn't be able to live with himself if two were killed by this beastie, as it flailed it's tentacles with rage.
no subject
"I'm fine." Well, alive at least. She'll take it for now. Cas really is her guardian angel. Saving her is becoming quite the habit.
"Everyone else?" Despite her own minor injuries, near drowning and panic attack of a life time she still finds it in her to worry for the others.
She hears the Doctor before she sees him. "Can't get rid of me that easily, Spaceman. You okay?"
no subject
He grips Donna tightly. "We should get back to shore before it makes another grab for one of us."
Part of him wants to go after Wallie--feels that he should, but if he does and it gets Donna or the Doctor killed, that would be worse. He needs to keep them both safe.
no subject
But luckily the waves did help push them to the shore, and where he could feel the bottom of the ocean floor better. Quickly, he wrapped an arm around one side of Donna, assisting her to her feet and walking upwards.
Turning back to Castiel, he opens his mouth, wondering if he too saw the fate of Wallie.
no subject
Her lungs are still burning and she feels sick from swallowing sea water but it's a small price to pay for being alive. Speaking of which... "Wasn't there another guy? Wallie?" Eyes wide, she scans up and down the shore for any sight of him.
When she's unable to spot him she pulls free from her live-saving heroes to try and get back into the water. "Doctor! Cas! We gotta go back for him!"
no subject
He doesn't say a word until they're climbing out of the water.
"I don't think going back will help."
no subject
He hated that, and hated that those words had to come out of his mouth. "He died trying to save you... a very selfless act."
no subject
"Cas... you healed your arm. You can save him, can't you? Please? Doctor? Please... we have to go back..."
The Doctor telling her that Wallie died to save her doesn't help her sense of guilt.
no subject
At his current power level, he's not sure that he could at all, but here he can barely keep himself together, let alone fly to Heaven or Hell.
