Abernathy grew frustrated with Xero's lack of a response.. descending the ladder just as everything above him blew the fuck up. The sudden force caused him to fall down the ladder, collapsing on the floor. He seemed... relatively uninjured. This caused the Licker to cease trying to attack Xero. Her tongue let go of his sword, leaping away, and looking back.. she heard it. So did Siegden.

"What the hell was that...?" She whispered.. skulking off towards Abernathy, seeming to leave the fight alone.

"I think we need to go investigate..." Siegden commented, following after the Licker.

Something breathed heavily, as it began to approach from the shadows.. it was a sort of.. slouched silhouette.

The four girls Armstrong had rescued left his apartment just as he arrived. They were all alive and well, they all seemed happy to see him, too.. but suddenly, their faces grew solemn. One of them stepped forward, her hands cupped in prayer, her eyes trembling.

"...Vinessa wanted to have a word with you. She... she doesn't seem like she has much time left, before she returns to her... rest." She spoke..

The minotaur looked judgingly at the shotgun Pat was carrying... she snorted. "Look.. whaddya think that boomstick's gonna do besides piss me off? You know how strong us Monsters are, right?" She slammed her axe into the dirt beside her, squinting at the shotgun. "Actually... that design looks familiar. Y'mind if I have a look at it?" As the minotaur spoke, a few Holstaurs skulked onto the scene.

"Miss Hoicho, what's going on?" One spoke.

"Don't worry about it, Milkies.. just go back." The minotaur, Hoicho, was her name.. commanded the Holstaur.. who remained in place, meekly.
