Small beach near Kailua Beach |
Plot(s) |
It's a little bit after sunset on a perfect evening to be at the beach. Of course, in Hawaii, is there any other kind? Let's be honest, even when it's raining it's kind of perfect. This beach is not //quite// 'locals only,' but it's definitely out of the way of the usual foot traffic. Right now, though, there are already several people about halfway down, cooking around a fire that they've got going. There seems to be food for all comers, as well as plenty of drinks in a couple of coolers, and no one seems to be looking too hard at the people who come by and ask for either. Peter skulks along the beach, not looking at the other beachgoers for the most part. But then something tasty-smelling wafts over and tugs at his attention. He slowly approaches the fire, trying to suss out if this is a private or public party. He finds a spot nearby and settles down onto the sand, listening and watching for now.
Her red hair's in two wet braids and she's there for sport and play in board shorts and a bikini top. She moves toward where she's left her gear, squinting at the fire and the faces around it to see if she knows anyone.
She'd dressed for playtime as well, though Lili chose to leave her long, waist length dark hair down in heavy waves without anything restraining its movement. Her legs and feet were bare, no need for shoes on the beach after all. For a top, Lili had layered a partially shredded, rather holey AC/DC tank top that had once been black and white over a bikini top so bright pink it almost glowed in the darkness. She had on a short, pleated, white, skirt as well, something that likely shouldn't have been worn without at least a set of leggings underneath, but with the flashing of insanely bright pink that the brief skirt provided, it was obvious Lili didn't care since she was wearing a bikini, everything else was just windowdressing, right? As Aolani mentioned food, though, Lili's mouth stopped moving and she tilted her head to the side, taking in a big whiff of the nighttime air. "Oh AKUA... Someone feed me, I'm wasting away!" Cue Lili running in a playful jog alongside and then ahead of Aolani, turning to face the other woman and motioning her faster. "Come on, makuahine wela! Before some big brah gets it all!" Then of course Lili spotted Akhlut waving to Aolani and laughed in a high, surprised sound. "You even KNOW THE GUY that's gonna eat it all, you little sass!"
A woman near them who had been sitting on top of one of the coolers stands up and opens it instead, and starts to pass out beers and sodas to whoever's hands get there first.
"Howzit, Ak!" Aolani hollers over to the tattooed mountain of a man. "I'm happy to hear it! I couldn't take it if you wore it better than me again!" She breaks out into a peal of laughter, then points towards the gathering around the fire. "Do you smell that? There's a cookout!" As she gets close enough to Lili, she reaches out to try to catch the live wire by the hand. "Hey, wait for me, pupule wahine! You don't have to worry about Ak - he's a champ among eaters, but he knows how to share." Aolani joins in the chorus of alohas as she joins the cookout, starting with a grin and a hearty "aloha!" to the crouching Peter, not-hidden Peter. "Aloha ahiahi!" she cheerfully returns to the chef. "We are definitely here to eat if you're here to feed us. Chicken for me, please, and if you have macaroni salad I'll love you forever!"
As Aolani mentioned that Akhlut could share, Lili squeezed the other woman's hand and chuckled. "I hope he knows how to share, there's enough of him to feed Oahu." Then she upnodded to Akhlut and gave him a wide, friendly smile, her dimple showing deeply in her cheek. "Aloha, Ak! Nice to know you, man!" Finally, Lili managed to spin around and stare at the fire for a minute, eyeing it with far more appreciation than she'd even managed for any of the dudes around, or the ladies for that matter. "Niiiice airflow on the bonfire, brah." Lili let go of Aolani's hand to move up to the guy offering food, holding out her hand to fist bump him. "You got this place lit up like daylight, I'll eat whatever you feed me!" She reached out a hand to feel the heat of the fire, her fingers moving through the haze of it like they were dancing. WHen offered a beer, she accepted from the lady handing it over with a nod and a bright, "Mahalo, 'o ka lede nani" before opening the beer and letting the immediately overflowing foam fall onto the beach without getting it on herself. Possibly a pro-move from a million beach bonfires in her life.
"Thanks," the firemaker says with a smile as he looks toward Lili. "Looking like it was gonna rain earlier. Good thing it cleared up.
She beams back at Akhlut. "We won't hold your healthy appetite against you, it's clearly working for you, Ak. At least come enjoy the fire with us." Peter's explanation has her nodding thoughtfully, with a furrow to her brow. "I didn't think wolves were native to this area...I mean, there aren't many big predators native to the islands."
Even as she watches, she shakes her head to Peter's question. "Hardly. Started a few months ago," she adds to Peter. As he turns to talk to Akhlut, she's already beginning to move in the direction of the trees, narrowing her eyes and trying to adjust to the darkness now that she's a bit fireblinded.
Lili gave Kirsi a wide smile while keeping her lips tightly together and shook her head, swallowing her bite of food before she replied "I think haoles are sexy, don't change a thing. I'd totally put a poster of you up on my wall." She nodded surely, then looked over at Akhlut, grinning. "Nothing wrong with being warm and wet, though, right? You could come hang out so we don't have to send smoke signals to find out how you know my little Ao over here." She bounced on Aolani's lap, to indicate the woman she was sitting on. Lucky for Ao, Lili's built like a dancer and not like a weight lifter. Hearing some of the other conversations, Lili raised her brows and snickered, looking directly at her macaroni salad and food on her plate, having noticed nothing strange. "There's no wolves on Hawaii, you guys. Seriously, we have rat problems because we don't even have enough Owls."
"Probably someone's dog that got lost, if it's anything," the cook adds, and he looks over at the trees, squinting to try and see past the fire. It's not easy at all. However, suddenly, there's a low growling sound, so low that it almost feels more like a vibration than an actual noise form an animal, and then a snarl and a snap, and something bounds out of the trees toward the people by the fire. It does look like a wolf, only a lot larger, and with two glowing red eyes, just as Peter had said. It is no ordinary wolf, that's for sure. It does seem wary of the fire, but it starts to stalk the group, baring its knifelike teeth.
Seeing the creature suddenly gain a real wound after some sort of invisible force hacks at it, Lili moved to stand with her dark blue eyes rather wide. "Ok... Don't want whatever's going on over there to happen over here." The mark on the back of her shoulder, which normally just looked like a little, perfectly shaped flame brand, suddenly glowed to life and burst into a small, dancing flame sitting on the back of her shoulder instead. She lifted her hand, held it palm out toward the wolf, and shook her head, eyes seeming to fill with liquid, burning fire that left tracers in the air as she did so. "Stay BACK!" She commanded, and whether she was talking to the dog or to whatever was attacking it, it really didn't matter. A moment later, heat moved in a wave outward from Lili's hand, noticably causing the air to distort, then struck the earth between where the wolf was and the partying people were. A 12 foot long, 8 foot tall, wall of thick, violently crackling flame grew up, reaching toward the sky, imposing itself solidly between the ravenous hound and all the more human people.
The thing snarls as Peter brandishes the stick, and it starts to lunge forward, but then its being slashed open by...something. There's a loud howl of pain and rage and it staggers, blood so dark it looks black leaking out of that rend in its chest. It shies away from Akhlut as he yells, circling back, only to be confronted by the wall of fire. Hm, maybe this wasn't such a good idea... However, soon enough, Peter is proved to be right, because another one bounds out of the tree line then, perhaps heeding its compatriot's call for help in dispatching their next meal.
He turns back to face the creature just as the second one makes itself known, and he steps forward again, holding that stick out before him. "So, anyone else want to take a guess at another creature that you think doesn't exist on Hawaii, but actually does?" Peter grins toothily and runs a hand through his wildly coloured hair.
"They aren't wolves..." she raises her voice again to be heard over the clanging and the fire. "They're darkhounds. But they aren't malicious - they're pure instinct, mindless. They're probably just hungry! If we feed them, they might go away. We definitely don't want to attract the creatures that generally keep these creatures!"
As Lili breathed out, the air flew forward in a spinning column, pushing her own chicken she'd looked forward to enjoying along like it was shot out of a cannon. As the brush of turbulent breeze moved over the grill, it took the scents with it, moving them around the single morself of food as it landed with a thud a little bit beyond the wall of fire. The scent from that area became quite strong indeed, like the barbeque had been lit there, instead of near the actual bonfire.
The first darkhound is clearly wounded, and behaving so. Its snarls are threaded through with a little whine, and it really sounds just like a dog for a second. If a dog had dagger-sized teeth and glowing red eyes. It brings its head up toward Akhlut just in time to get smacked with that shovel, and the howl is even more pronounced this time. Either it hasn't smelled that delicious smell yet, or it's just too crazed with pain, but it pushes of the send of the beach then, jaws snapping as it attempts to sink its teeth into him.
Aolani creeps past for the treeline, just far enough to be out of sight, and strips quickly out of her clothes. As the Lehua red wings on her back and arms flare into life, the inky feathers wrap around her shoulders like a cloak and the woman's form shrinks down until an amber-eyed pueo owl flaps its wings and rises out of the pile of clothing.
Yet again, there's the sound of whistling blades and the murmured word, before the darkhound is slashed, this time through its neck, and it falls to the sand, dead. "Fuck," Kirsi says, stepping back like she might have just run a bit too far too fast. "I need a beer."
Lili took a deep breath, stretched her neck with a delightfully satisfying pop first to one side and then the other, then rolled her shoulders. Closing her eyes, she hummed softly, and the little burning mark on her shoulder snuffed out with a barely audible 'fizzz', a little puff of smoke rising up from her shoulder as it went back to being nothing but a brand. When she opened her eyes again, they were back to their dark, deep, azure blue and she smiled. When Lili stepped forward to move closer to the others that had been physically attacking the Darkhounds, though, her feet had to break free from icy sand that had formed around them, making a sharp, cracking sound as it shattered. She shivered, looking down at the ground, as her mouth formed a surprise 'O' at the 10 foot wide swath of ice that had grown. "Oh... huh. Well." She moved quicker, then, running across the ice quickly and almost slipping, but sighing in relief when she got to un-iced sand, as it was decidedly warmer on her bare feet. "Oooh, better. Much better. Careful if anyone walks.. well.. anywhere barefoot right now!" She offered as a warning to the others. "Little slick over there."
The first wolf...well. We know what happened to it already. All that remains of the partygoers now is some scattered dishware, discarded food, and coolers turned on their sides. There's a pretty big mess, but can anyone blame the mundanes for not wanting to stick around when hounds started biting and fire started flying?
"Wow.. that was... insane. You guys are absolutely off the freaking chain." She shook her head and flashed Kirsi a shaka. "You might get the award for baddest haole wahine I've ever seen, and I definitely want you on my wall now." Lili turned to Akhlut then and gave him a smile as wide as he was, eyes dancing. "And you, sir... Ak. Wow. I hope you catch something that actually gives you leftovers or something. I don't know anything better for a big brah with a big appetite." She nodded to the guy, then lifted her hand, waving to both of them. "I'm gonna grab some grub and head home, this was enough excitement that I've got to go dance about it, anywhere that I haven't left ice all over." She snickered, then turned to walk over and pick up some food, and a few beers. Lili was super careful when she bent over, though, leaving plenty of time for the owl on her shoulder to balance as she did so. Once that was one, she called out a bright "Aloha ahiahi, be safe!" And started toward the direction of some rather convenient bushes, that happened to be wearing a super awesome red bikini. |
