Case 24 [Accidental Video/Audio]

manofgnee[Hanna's dropped his communicator again, and, as usual, by dropping it he's activated the video function. But in this case, it may be a good thing.
Hanna's running from something, ducking behind the fountain as he tries to catch his breath. He's already tried to draw some runes on his hands, but they haven't been working, nor have physical attacks with the hammer, which is covered in particles of golden sand.]
...c'mon...work, please, this time, work!
[Hanna draws out another, more complicated rune, as a disturbing train whistle seems to get louder and closer. Hanna fires the rune at his now visible attacker: A man made of sand, with hollow, empty eyes, a twisted smile, driving a black train with shining, starlike wheels. The attack seems to just pass through the sandman, whose smile grows as he beckons Hanna along with a hand that dissolves and reforms before his eyes.]
Shit, shit shit!! Ok, plan C- keep running and hope I lose him...c'mon legs, work...we need to go...!
[Panting heavily, Hanna struggles to get up and begins to flee again, only to trip over the communication device, cutting off the video, leaving the audio on for a few minutes.]
Craaap...! Stay back, I'm not going with you!! C'mon, get up, we need to keep going...!!
[A sinister laugh fills the audio device, speaking briefly in hollow tones before the audio cuts off.]
Oh, hush you little one, and have no fear...
The man-in-the-moon he is the engineer...
So put on you 'jamas and say your prayers...
[ooc: I got the nursery rhyme for today's curse from: http://www.rhymes.org.uk/
The specific nursery rhyme is called The Sandman, and is found here: http://www.rhymes.org.uk/a120-sandman.htm
Explanation of the creepy: The Sandman is powered by sleep, and traps people in their nightmares. The darker the nightmares, the more powerful he is, and if he gets enough power, he ceases to be made of sand and is real. Nobody dies, but it still really sucks for his victims. His creepy little train represents the night, and he, of course, represents sleep. Also, I think the original nursery rhyme is still really creepy.
...You know, the funny thing is, I had to read nursery rhymes for english homework, this synchronized up really well!! Hooray for coincidences!]

Action! (you are the best zombie eeever~)
Date: 2010-05-03 09:55 pm (UTC)The Sandman tilts his head, irritated.]
Very well.
[With this, the Sandman attacks Draco, sending a wave of sand to his face.]
Action! (pfff~ <3)
Date: 2010-05-03 10:08 pm (UTC)Hanna, go.
[And he runs forward again with another attack. Even if it's just to buy them time.]
Action! (aw, look, he loooves you. <3)
Date: 2010-05-03 10:11 pm (UTC)I'm not leaving you here with him!
[The Sandman, meanwhile, is continuing to throw attacks at Draco, trying to distract him to get back to Hanna.]
You could leave now...leave me with the boy and his sweet, terrible dreams...
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:20 pm (UTC)[He's about to persuade him to go but he gets a face full of furious sand. Man and just when he got all the sand out of his pockets from before. He tries to fend off the attacks while attacking himself, but... it's not going so well.]
You can't have him.
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:23 pm (UTC)Oh, but his dreams are so terrible, so sweet...a hollow boy with a mind filled with sorrows...
[Hanna blinks rapidly, trying to figure out what the hell to do...wait. One of his arms is glass now. The runes can't go through glass...he has a plan.]
Draco...duck...
[Hanna quickly draws out a complex rune, firing it at the Sandman's arm, which it sticks to. Hopefully, it take effect in a few moments, enough time to get Draco to safety.]
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:32 pm (UTC)[Good thing zombies don't bleed, because he just got a chest-full of glass shards. Still, it did smart something fierce.
And he doesn't need telling twice, he crouches low while Hanna fires the rune. After which he lashes forward at the Sandman with a new wave of adrenaline.]
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:35 pm (UTC)Hanna, however, is spent. He's been doing magic, or attempting to, all day, while on the run. He's exhausted and feeling a little sick, so he slumps down against a nearby wall, eyes closing as he passes out.
The Sandman sees this and laughs, even as he's losing.]
They already belong to me...
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:42 pm (UTC)[With this window of opportunity, he wails on the Sandman relentlessly before taking his head off with the blade-edge of the shovel.
He drops his "weapon", turns to see Hanna passed out against the wall, and rushes to him. And he tries to catch him before he can fall.]
Hanna-! Wake up...!
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:44 pm (UTC)Hanna feels...safe. Somebody important is close, he's going to be ok...
...but he doesn't wake up.]
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:51 pm (UTC)The one place I can't follow you....
Well, let's go home.
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 10:56 pm (UTC)...Draco...
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 11:03 pm (UTC)Re: Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 11:21 pm (UTC)...please...please don't leave...I'm nothing without you, don't...
I need you, please don't go...
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 11:26 pm (UTC)It's okay, Hanna. I'm right here.
[As if his words could transcend the realm of consciousness to reach him. Well, not much else he could do.]
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 11:29 pm (UTC)Hurts...it hurts, Draco...
Action!
Date: 2010-05-03 11:37 pm (UTC)Hurts? What hurts?
[Like he would get an answer. He rubs Hanna's shoulder in an attempt to wake him. Normally he'd let him rest after a fight, but... something about the Sandman didn't rest easy on his mind.]
Action!
