in your closet, in your head.

It all happens in a matter of moments. Your friends, your companions, and even some people you aren't all that fond of; everyone who took so much as a bite of the spirits' feast suddenly collapses into a comatose heap. Which is bad enough already, but the worst, by far, is yet to come.

Before anyone can really figure out what's happened to the sleepers, the woods surrounding the town come alive with sound. Rustling, screeching, clicking, howling, and under it all, the characteristic hoots and whistles of the forest spirit tongue. But these aren't the friendly creatures that set up the banquet in the first place, and they aren't the familiar faces (or masks) from around Beacon. As they begin to emerge, bursting forth from the trees, these spirits reveal themselves as a horrifying army of terrors. And sprinkled among them, distinguishable by the emerald glint in their sockets, are the infamous "green eyes", the dangerous spirits that appeared once before.

Attempting to talk to these spirits is a moot point, made obvious by their immediate assault on anyone they get close to. They attack with claws and teeth, with limbs far stronger than they have any right to be, and the green eyes, as they are wont to do, will try to get into your head. Somehow, they seem to know what it is that scares you most, and they don't seem too hesitant to use it. It's not clear what they want— are they here to eradicate you? To frighten you? To send a message?

Whatever the case, one thing is very clear: you and everyone else, sleeping or waking, are in serious danger. Are you ready to defend Beacon?

"Not as far as I would like. The distance is diminished here. Otherwise we'd already be inside." The lighthouse that is.

He turns to look back at Crowley. He's still not 100% sure about bringing this guy along, but it's not like anything terrible would happen or anything. Right? Right?

"It will take a few trips, unless you have a better method?"

[sauntered_downward]

He could fly, he supposes. But there are flying spirits out there that Crowley didn't know about until recently. And now, well, now this sort of transport could get them somewhere fast, maybe avoid the worst bunches of spirits.

"No," he says. "No, this is good. Just wanted to see what you had to offer."

He remembers the lad back in the Invincible and conjures himself up an American baseball bat with nails sticking out of it, which he conveniently sits next to him outside of the Invincible. He tucks it on his shoulder.

"Transport away."

[saibot]

He doesn't make any more commentary and Bi-Han briefly eyes Crowley making a weapon appear. It was a crude one and kind of reminded him of something Kano would use. Though fortunate for Crowley he seems much more refined than the crime lord brute who was pretty much nothing more than a thug.

Someone he didn't like in life or in death.

This time when he creates a shadow portal he does so in front of them and steps through first instead of forcefully dragging his comrade with him like he did the first time. The portal only will disappear after Crowley steps through. He can do this as many times as it takes to get to the lighthouse.

Nope, you're not grabbing Crowley this time, Bi-Han. Sorry. There's a big fella with a metal arm who grabs Crowley literally by the scruff of his neck-- well, by the back of his jacket, anyway-- and hauls him back before Bi-Han can get a hand on him again.

"No," the Soldier growls. And gives Crowley a little shake, though their eyes and glower are on Bi-Han like they think he is the one who needs threatening to behave, here.

They know who the armored man is. Sort of. They've seen him around. He's not a spirit, anyway. But Crowley is not allowed to go into the forest. Absolutely fucking not. And they're not letting this person take him.

[sauntered_downward]

Crowley looks positively offended.

"Excuse me," he says, looking down at the human soldier person's arm. Oh, but being offended, or acting like a surly teenager caught going out after hours certainly isn't going to work on the human soldier person here.

"We're going to the Lighthouse," he says, instead. "Something has to be done here, you know that."

[saibot]

"Who are you to stop me?"

Well, he's fully welcome to stop Crowley, but this person sure as hell better not attempt to stop him. Then again he kind of needed Crowley to make this lighthouse raid work more efficiently.

[worthallthis]

"I don't care what you do," the Soldier tells Bi-Han, expressionless. "But Crowley
isn't going anywhere." They pull the demon back another step, just in case, and focus over on him instead of Bi-Han. That gets an expression, and it's an annoyed-- and worried-- expression. "My mission is to protect you, asshole. I'm not going to let you get killed going to the damn lighthouse."
