Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28929693-20170625051003/@comment-30700719-20170630114219

I pull Jill into the Wendy's, leaping behind the counter. "Come on, come on..." I rifle through the drawers until I find a small handgun in one of the drawers. "Jill, hide! I'm going to go distract it. When it turns away from you, run. Don't worry, I'll call in a Rauser and be up in the air in no time. Just find shelter and stay there. Do you understand me?" She tearfully shakes her head. I barge out the door, shooting the monstrosity in the head, or what seemed like it. It screeched and dove towards me. I sidestepped, and the thing slammed into a fire hydrant, knocking it out cold. "ICARUS, I need a Rauser here. Weapon: Laser. Body: Armor. Engine: Hover."  I duck back into the Wendy's and return the handgun. Foraging around in the back, I find a crowbar. "Ah well, time to Gordon Freeman these sons of bitches!" I dash outside and look around. One of the smaller ones is pinning down someone. I leap over and smash the crowbar over the thing's head. It looks up at me, and I rupture the skull with a sideways swing to the face. It slumps to the ground, dead. The guy underneath pulls himself out from under it and starts running.  I look up and see the Rauser pointed at the sky, hovering in midair. It floats down a little and I jump in the cockpit. "Alright. Let's go murder these sons of bitches." I punch the throttle, pulling the Rauser into level flight. A flier screams and dives towards me. I cut throttle and spin around to face it, then fire my weapon. The powerful laser beam cuts it clean in two, and it falls to earth. My eye catches a glance of a creature the size of a dinosaur, and I turn and fire upon it, making quick work of it.

And so, in the course of a few hours, I fight back the Eldritch horrors. Some of them put up more of a fight than others, but they all died eventually. I landed and looked around for Jill, who apparently had holed up in the Wendy's for the entire time. She wraps her arms around me, and her eyestalks as well, pulling me close. I simply sighed and patted her shoulder. From that day on, we all prepared ourselves for the next time that Comet returned...
