<strong>Name</strong>: Brandon<br/><strong>Time</strong>: Day 1<br/><strong>Location</strong>: Inside the wreckage of the Dread Horizon.<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>: Unknown woman<br/><br/>(Note: Used a Knowledge (Nature) roll and Sense Motive roll over PMs for this post.)<br/><br/><em><strong>Siren.</strong></em><br/><br/>At least, it was a variety of siren, but the end result was probably the same; this thing eats men, usually after seducing them into the prospect of easy sex. With her fishy smell and pallid complexion, Brandon was surprised someone would long to lay with this creature to begin with. Still, that thought could be better left until<em>after</em>he dealt with the seductress.<br/><br/>Yelling was out of the option, as a quick assumption of her demeanor belied. The Siren was on-edge, ready to strike at the first sign of it's quarry trying to run, a classic predator instinct. As the prey, Brandon could only hope to slowly advance backwards, keeping his limbs ready to bolt at a moment's notice even as he tried to subconsciously puff himself up, another animalistic instinct to dissuade predators. Brandon was walking on thin ice with this one, and so far the only way out was to either see where her advances led, running and giving his fate to the gods, or talking himself out of it,<em><strong>Silvanus, grant me strength.</strong></em><br/><br/>"<strong>You desire the touch of a man, then?</strong>" Brandon asked, trying to play the fear in his voice off as something perhaps empathic, "<strong>a kiss I can give, but not now. I desire certain... Other pleasures.</strong>" If Theresa was here under different circumstances, she'd undoubtedly get a kick out of Brandon's attempts to sound seductive towards the creature.<br/><br/>Brandon's foot slammed against the slightly raised wall behind him, producing a sound he hoped would be easily heard (and investigated) by the party in the other room,<em><strong>end of the line</strong></em>he thought, now all he had to do was buy himself some time.... But how?<br/><br/>Waiting for the Siren to approach him, Brandon readied himself for whatever he had to do.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">[Brandon prepares a <strong>Run</strong> action if the Siren turns hostile]</div></div>
