[The video feed opens to a crash as the device hits the ground and slides under what might be an end-table. There's a soft thud nearby and a rather large, furry paw obscures the lens, batting at the device until a few nausea-inducing movements later, it's out from under the table.

A somewhat irritated-looking female Lynx rufus pops into view. It's worth noting her eys are Promise's signature violet and she is holding a pen in her teeth. The face comes into an extreme-closeup view, stares at the device for a moment, and then a paw reaches out, claws extended. A few more taps and the video goes black, but you can hear the sounds of something hitting the device and some muffled snarls.

A minute later, text appears.]

b lu- not worki ng toda7

[ooc: Translation: It appears I have woken up without opposable thumbs. Blue, I will be unable to come into work today. Also, if someone would be so kind, it appears I can no longer reach the upper shelves of my pantry and refrigerator and I am somewhat hungry, could someone assist me?

Button-cursed, for seven whole days! All replies will be cat!text, unless someone wants to come over - in that case, action will be the order of the day.]

[The video opens to Promise, lounging on a red chaise lounge, wearing something that makes her look a bit like THIS. She grins at the camera and begins to speak, her usual measured tones sounding more flirty than anything else.]

Hello, again, City.

It's me, me, me, your mistress of the night, your paragon of primal desire, Promise, Mistress of the Night, here to tell you that it's time to party. Come one, come all, but be sure to come for fun, because for one night only my abode is as open as I am, and you know what that means. It's time for fun for all, but most importantly, fun for me.

It's time to feed all our desires so come on out, and have a... bite.

I'll be waiting.

[The video clicks off.]

[ooc: Oh, so very cursed, something between Elvira and a real B-movie vampiress. She's hungry and seems to have forgotten that she's vegetarian. Anyone who shows up at her place is a potential meal, so let me know if you wants to be snacked on. Action threads for those who show up are fine, voice or video for the rest.]

Current Mood: predatory

Those who wish for something non-alcoholic may come by the Blue Light, obviously selling beer is a little ridiculous on a day like this, but we have plenty of bottled water and sodas available.

...does this really happen often? Because it's quite ridiculous.

[Promise's voice is a touch out-of-breath and the following is punctuated with the occasional thwack sound of a crossbow and the screeching howl of a dying minion.]

A few observations from watching the City and the network which may come in handy on a day like today.

If enough little things pound against something big, it will eventually move. Keep that in mind when constructing barricades and don't assume your windows and doors will be strong enough to repel them. [thwack- screetch] They're determined little bastards.
Keep in mind that if the smoke from your fireplace can get outside, the things from the outside can get in.
They are traveling in pairs and packs, if you see one, [thwack-screech] assume there are many more. [thwack-thwack-screech]
Don't forget aerial attacks if you're in the open, they do have wings after all and I can't tell you the number of people I've seen swarmed on the streets this day.

In terms of fighting them:

[crunch] Their necks are thin and weak, easily breakable with a single well-placed strike, or cut with a blade.
If you are lacking the above skills and are a sports enthusiast, blunt instruments like golf clubs, baseball bats, even tennis rackets may be used. Edited to add: Those of you inclined to literature may note that large, hard-bound books may be of use as well.
Guns are loud and make a mess, [thwack] but if you have good enough aim, they're highly effective.
Despite the numbers, the swarms do make it easy to [thwack-screech-screech] hit multiple targets an once.
And in the interest of those who fight with their teeth, the blood doesn't seem to be poisonous, but it does seem to get their attention... and not in a pleasant manner, either.

~~This is almost reminds me of home. Pity we can't be paid for this...~~

The next waiter that tries to take one of MY pens or one of MY notepads will PAY.

In fact? My office is OFF LIMITS. Anyone caught touching any of MY things will regret it for however long I deem it necessary to keep you alive.

[Private to Blue]

I left plans for the anniversary party for you. The redecorating should only take a day, and I talked to the vendors and the cost is reasonable for the necessities for the drink specials and menu. Some reference images, and inspiration are included.

...I would like it if MY folders were returned when you're finished with them.
