The Package of Doom

Who: Harry and Open
What: Mistaken Identity Adventure
Where: Somewhere in Anastara
When: Somewhere in the middle of August
Warnings: Killer rabbit on the loose and animal death
Notes: From here


Harry has given a mysterious package from a tall gruff gentleman who shoves it to him so hard that he literally landed on his behind onto the sidewalk. Aside from the aching on said body part, he is doing fairly alright. A shy small pygmy owl pokes his head near the box to see what is hiding inside it.

There is a lot of shifting inside said box, but the identity of whatever it is carrying is unknown. Harry is staring at that box as if it is an alien object with no clue of what he has gotten into. He had shaken it to see if the thing inside could react to his action, but there isn’t much besides the rattling from within.

Perhaps somebody can try to help him in taking the package to its rightful destination or maybe cause some ruckus in the city by daring him into opening this delivery Pandora’s box?

"No! He's a..."

Harry, still the rabbit and not the wizard, took that moment to leap free of Harry's hands, giving him a good solid thump in the chest before flying in a twisting motion through the air to ninja star Crowley in the arm with it's claws.

"SHIT!"

"Shhhh, sh, sh... You hear that?"

Crowley held out a hand to shush Harry for a sound was coming from the barrel. A very ominous, spine-chilling sound, that sent Crowley searching around for a tree to clamor up into. Gnawing. The damn rabbit was gnawing its way out of the barrel!

"Better find a place to hide, kid! That thing is trying to get out!"
serpentinthegarden: (What?)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-08-25 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Climb a tree, which this evil creature might very well chew right down to the ground, or go to the rooftops...

"Do it. Harry couldn't eat a house! I refuse to believe it could eat it's way through a house!"

"They shouldn't!"

Crowley hissed while taking a peek over the side of the roof to the barrel which rattled and scuttled about on the ground, straining against the teeth that were tearing it apart from the inside out.

"That's not an ordinary rabbit. That's some kind of," he hesitated to use the word demon but that did seem to fit, "Magical super-powered rabbit! Some one just gave you that?? There was no warning, no hey, this box has a killer rabbit in it, maybe don't open the box?"

He glanced aside, speaking to himself.

"Who gives a kid a blood-thirsty rabbit?"

As planned...

Loki was out on his own errand, and taking a short-cut that was suddenly impeded by a barrel. That was rattling, and shifting places, and clearly there was something very upset inside. An eyebrow rose, but he didn't open it. Yet. Just watched it warily a moment before looking around for anyone who might have an explanation.

If anyone wants to fill him in, that would be grand.

The 'other guy' peeked over Harry's shoulder. His arm ached from where he had been stabbed by the vicious rabbit, it might even have been bleeding but Crowley hadn't bothered to check. His eyes were on that barrel.

"You might not want to stand too close to that! It could...--"

The barrel gave a last shake and splintered into a thousand shards like a bomb had gone off. From the center of the explosion the evil ball of fluff emerged. Growling like a Pitbull it glanced towards the roof, judging the distance, but Loki was so much closer. It dived for Loki's feet, intending to sink those long teeth into his calf.

Good thing Loki had good reflexes. A quick step back, and a shoving gesture and the rabbit was knocked back with telekinesis. Then he flicked one hand out to the side, summoning a dagger to his hand. Blue-green eyes narrowed as he eyed the rabbit and took a defensive stance. Hopefully no one would mind if he just killed this thing.

Having observed the great conflicts of history Crowley stood back, content to observe this one too. Shame if the rabbit had to die really... but it was rabid, or mad, or possessed with an otherworldly evil... Rabbits didn't usually go for blood like that!

Harry, this time I do mean the rabbit, shook his head as he recovered from the force push but he was no ordinary rabbit. The gleam of Loki's daggers didn't dissuade him for more than a second before his claws grew three times in size and the battle was on. Using his claws like swords the bunny attacked with a vengeance, slashing right, then left, as he tried to impale whatever got in the way of his attack.

Loki was two things that would be very important in this battle; a trickster and trained as an Asgardian prince should be in combat. Even if he wasn't like the other warriors. When the claws grew out, multiples of Loki appeared, all with that dagger. Illusion magic and duplication casting, but it would help keep the rabbit off-guard from the real one.

Dodge right, block left, put himself at an angle to the rabbit and reaching out to grab its ears and pull its head back. A shift of the dagger, and then it was slicing the killer rabbit's throat. Magic? Evil? Rabid? It didn't matter so long as the beast died.

It wasn't much of a battle, one experienced fighter against, well... a rabbit... but it was over quickly enough and there wouldn't be anymore killer bunnies flying at anyone with their claws. Good enough. Crowley stepped away from the roof edge in his search to find a cool and classy way down from here. Only there really wasn't one so he was left to clamber down the tree he had been thinking about hiding up in earlier. But he climbed down as cool as possible!

Now where was that box? He saunter past the dead bunny and their rescuer, intent on picking up what remained of the box and searching it over for clues.

"There has to be a return address on this thing?"

Oh yeah, and Loki was still standing there with his daggers wasn't he?

"Pretty handy with those."

This might have been as close to a thanks as one could get from a demon.
whose_son_am_i: (Thor--smiles "let me handle this")

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-08-26 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely not much of a battle. But necessary--even if Loki wouldn't mind a little chaos and mischief. "I've had some practice." Loki said back, which was him acknowledging the form of thanks. A flick of the dagger to get it clean, and then he re-vanished it in a shimmer of greenish-yellow.

"Anything useful in the box?"
serpentinthegarden: (Such a showoff)

Crowley snatched the tattered bit of cardboard from Harry's hand and read the return address aloud.

"Doctor Kilinu - Purveyor of Rare and Dangerous Familiars."

He frowned, only now thinking that maybe they should have read that before opening the box. What could he say? It had sounded like a good idea at the time!

"And there was this carrot," Crowley held up a partially gnawed carrot which other than the purple leaves looked like a pretty standard sort of carrot. "Maybe it's what kept the creature quiet in the box?"

Loki crossed his arms. "Time to find this Dr. Kilinu and explain what happened? I'll leave you both to it." He'd just come along at the 'wrong' time so to speak, and been attacked. Hardly his fault the rabbit had to die--it had struck first.

That was a fine plan. Find the original owner and sort out this mess... Only they were talking to Crowley who was not the most savvy demon when it came to this sort of thing. He was the demon who had mislaid an Antichrist and had been unable to locate him.

"How do you go about finding a lost human? I've never had much luck with it... Besides! It doesn't say where he lives. We only have the guy's name and a carrot! I think, we just chalk this up to experience and make it a habit to only open strange boxes inside of other boxes, like scientists do in labs, so what ever is inside can't attack."

Note - he was still advocating opening strange boxes in the first place.

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
"You have a point about how difficult it might be to find him." Loki agreed, crossing his arms. "Are you expecting to get strange boxes often?"
