Everybody do the dinosaur

[sparednothing]

[Anyone near the docks this evening, will get o enjoy watching various cargo ships make their way into the city, dropping off or picking up precious cargo. It's a pleasant night, all things considered. That means something has to go wrong, right?

One of the cargo ships seems to have run aground, trapped on the docks. Workers are milling around it, talking in confused, raised voices. One eventually gets onto the ship, to search for crew. ...Its a few seconds later that there is a scream and the sound of metal being smashed into. The male T-Rex bursts out of the cargo hold, stomping out onto the docks. Workers run, screaming in terror, as the Rex makes his way towards the city....]

DOWNTOWN

[sparednothing]

[The Rex causes havoc as he stomps down the roads, cars swerving, crashing, piling up as he searches for water. The city is going to be in ruins if he isn't stopped somehow]

for once I'm on time to the party

[i_demand_euphoria]

[Calvin has had a pretty fulfilling day. He got kicked out of the museum and the zoo and he feels pretty accomplished about it all. And at least in San Diego nothing would try to eat him (the tiger exhibit didn't count; he'd had a tuna fish sandwich prepared for them and everything the zookeepers had completely overreacted) right?

... goddamn it InGen. Calvin is a suburb kid and not really used to big cities; all the noise and bright lights. So it's not the T-rex stomping around that catches Calvin's attention first, it's the car that almost hits him when it swerves abruptly off the road. He jumps out of the way, skinning his palms.]

Hey!

[Calvin looks to see what could have possibly prompted the driver to drive like a maniac and it doesn't take him long to find it.] ... really?

[Seriously, fuck you InGen.]

[sparednothing]

[That was totally an overreaction on the zookeepers part. Papa is stomping around, occasionally trying to push cars out of the way. He just wants some water you guys, he's thirsty]

[i_demand_euphoria]

[Ironically considering its much (much) larger size, the T-rex isn't as intimidating as the velociraptors. This one doesn't even seem to be hunting, Calvin notices as he pushes himself back up to his feet.

Honestly, this whole thing has this weird sort of wanton property damage air to it that reminds Calvin a lot of Godzilla. Kind of... cool. Yep, Calvin is back to making poor judgement calls. He starts to follow the T-rex. If he understood Dinosaur he would totally try to help a bro out too.]

[sparednothing]

[Papa doesn't seem to notice, he's scenting the air, before starting towards one of those fancy hotels. With a big, fancy swimming pool]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine was actually enjoying the city before this distraction but a dent into it. Wizard's holiday, she swears. Dairine sighs.]

Well, this looks familiar.

[ The image of T-Rex walking down the street brings back memories of Central Park. At least he is alone and unarmored. But he still needs to be stopped. Her shielf in place, Dairine walks up, calm as you please, and addresses the T-Rex using the Speech. It might not have worked on his mate, but she's willing to give it a second shot. What does she have to lose?]

Excuse me, what are you doing here?

[sparednothing]

[Papa does seem to pause, tilting his head at her. Maybe he's less full of rage as his mate, maybe it's because he's muzzy headed from the worn off sedatives, maybe it's the dehydration. He watches her for a moment, but does not reply. ]

[wizard_redfive]

[Once she reaches a respectful distance, Dairine stands still, looking back. Odd, how she can't even hear his basic thoughts. Was the castle or something else muting him?]

What are you looking for?

[sparednothing]

[Papa watches her for a moment more, before turning and starting to walk again, occasionally snapping idly at people's cars but looking for water more as a priority. He'll head towards a hotel pool. That should suffice]

[For the first time in ages, Danny had had a good day.

He'd slept through the whole night and woken up feeling rested and full of energy, with lingering memories of a great dream. Then he'd managed to spend the entire day at the local amusement park with Chie. There had been roller coasters and junk food and water rides and everything.

It had been a nearly perfect day. At least it had been until he spots something that he wishes he wasn't so familiar with.

....No. This couldn't be happening! This was San Diego! How on Earth had that thing gotten here? Was he being stalked by T-Rexes now?

He couldn't let it attack this city. With a shout Danny transforms in a blaze of light and launches himself straight at the T-Rex.]

[sparednothing]

[Papa had been heading towards a hotel pool when the attack comes. He roars in rage, turning trying to bite at whatever it is that attacked him, feet crushing sidewalk and trash cans as he moves]

1/2

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Hey Danny, wait u--

2/2

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie gasps, dropping her large drink]

[last_rat_standing]

[Speaking of cars there's a nice shiny car racing around the corner and heading straight towards that T-Rex.

Bond doesn't realize it until it's too late, jerking the wheel in an attempt to avoid that foot]

[sparednothing]

[Sorry, Bond. Looks like you have a lot of explaining to the rental company. Papa's foot goes smashing into the bonnet (or whatever you Americans call the front end) taking out the engine on the way down]

[last_rat_standing]

[Americans? Don't insult him. And it's not a rental... it's stolen. Semantics. Thankfully Bond had decided to wear his seatbelt today and he doesn't go flying through the windshield as it shatters. He unbuckles, kicking the door open and leaping out, rolling along the pavement. He comes up in a crouch, drawing his pistol and shooting at the damn thing.]

Bloody hell...

[originalcopy]

[doop de do... someone is just minding his own business, taking in the scenery. Because damn it's been a long time since he was on Earth. And it's old timey Earth too, kind of like walking around a living museum. It's a nice end to the vacation from Dinosaur Hell...]

Oh you have got to be kidding me.

[Hey look it's a freaking T.rex. yay.]

[sparednothing]

[He came because you missed the fun last time, Church. He wanted you there, it was rude to miss him. He's currently attacking cars, trying to get at the passengers inside]

[originalcopy]

[This is one of those awful situations where he's torn between wanting to help and not wanting to be eaten by a T.rex... God damn he hates his life.]

Hey! You stupid Godzilla wannabe... over here!

[This will be Church trying to lure the giant death lizard away from the cars.]

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru spend some alone time downtown. It's been a while since she saw modern civilization. She heard screaming and saw people running away from something. Her eyes narrowed, and she ran toward the source of the panic.

She was surprised to see the T-Rex causing a rampage in the streets, despite her poker face. Well hidden in her trench coat is her revolver, which she drew while she slowly walked toward the dinosaur]

Hmph... So I'm not completely safe from this world change after all. Very well, then. I shall test your might!

[Mitsuru began to emit a blue aura as Artemisia materialized behind her]

To me, Artemisia!

[OOC: So sorry, but I changed my mind and thought of giving Lara a break ^_^;]

[sparednothing]

[The light and the movement make Papa turn towards her. He lets out a roar, starting towards her]

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru clenched her teeth and started to feel her heart race, but her face didn't show it. She's got the dinosaur's attention and that's good. She started to analyze the rex, looking for potential weak points

Mitsuru aimed her revolver while taking steps backwards. She noticed people taking pictures nearby]

Get out of the streets!

[As she noticed Papa heading towards her, she flicked her arm to command Artemisia, launching large sharp icicles at Papa's face]

[billiardsplz]

[After hearing about a ruckus, Gold just had to go help now that he had his partners. He comes flying in on his Togekiss]

That is one ugly lizard!

Toge!

[sparednothing]

[Papa is still trying to attack the cars, people screaming and racing away]

[billiardsplz]

Alright, time to get 'im with an Aura Sphere!

[Togetaro charges up a blue sphere of energy. Once he's done, he launches it at Papa rex!]

Togeeee!
