( hellhound event | open ) i'm going to find you;
Who: Cordelia Chase & various & open!
Where: Hot mess all over this grill.
When: Hellhound Invasion: Days One - Three.
Rating: R for potential death/gore.
Summary: Cordelia's not sure which she prefers right now: Painless visions or a vision coma.
The Story:
On the first day, Cordelia definitely knows those howls aren't happening inside of her head. She sees some images in her mind's eye, painless, as if it were happening right before her. These visions aren't as painful as she remembers, or what she's used to, and while she's unsure if this is a message from the Powers That Be, there's a niggling in the back of her mind that things aren't exactly wonderful at the moment. Sometimes, Cordelia's walking down the hallway before she comes to a complete stop, as if she's looking at a speck on the ground, but that's just her being assaulted by a very painless vision. Does she stop mid-sentence? Does she go off on a completely different tangent? These invisible hounds are driving her vision-crazy.
On the second, she can hear barking that doesn't quite belong in the quiet walls of the mansion. She's seen movement in her mind, as if she's imagining it, as though what she's seeing before her eyes is her imagination forming images with faces she's familiar and unfamiliar with in the mansion walls. She's stopping and moving at the most inappropriate times, panicking, trying to find people that she sees in her mind's eye to ensure that they're safe. Help the helpless.
The visions are painless, and Cordelia, while not new to those types of visions, finds herself wondering what's true and what's her going completely insane.
She's found herself a crossbow from the closets, but sometimes, she's without it. Sometimes, she's with a sword. Sometimes, she's by herself. And if she's by herself, she's either running, hiding in a room, trying to saturate the room she's in with salt, or lighting up like a Christmas tree, something that occurs beyond her control.
( NOTE: if you'd like cordelia to have a vision of your character, start a top-level comment detailing what she sees in the vision and i will throw a thread-starter your way so we can thread it out (this is to avoid me godmodding anyone and so i have a proper picture of what you'd like!). she's open for any other interactions, visiony or mundane. )

Day 2, 8/4; holler at me if this isn't what you had in mind!
But everyone knows how quickly plans can be changed by just a small, split second decision or stray thought. And so even though Valjean had resolved to stay in his room, he couldn't keep that resolve, not when the Hellhounds were invading the mansion, attacking anyone who was in their way.
So Valjean left the almost safety of his room to patrol the hallways, gun in hand, ready to shoot at anything that seemed bent on attacking or killing. But of course, given the invisible quality of the Hellhounds, it wasn't a very equal match.
But a gunshot can still do damage, invisible target or not, so by the time he actually encounters a Hellhound, he's able to inflict some wounds on the creature. But by the same token, the demonic hound has been able to wound Valjean as well, and now he's bleeding from half a dozen places, though still continuing to doggedly fight back.
This is the scene that should show up in Cordelia's visions.]
hollers! no, it is fabulous! (and, ditto, let me know if this workds!)
All the hallways of the mansion appear the same to her, as did those of the Hyperion, back when the gang used to use it as their headquarters before upgrading to the evil law firm. She moves as quickly as she can and as quietly as she can, but quickness and quietness cannot ever be threaded together. There are a few close calls with hellhounds, but as she has a sword she's gained from the closets in her hand, she finds that she's able to pin them back, or protect herself, or outrun them. But Cordelia has never been quite good at running.
She regrets not asking more of Valjean, of his favourite floor to stay on, on whether or not he keeps his communicator on his person at all times. There is no time to call anyone, though, as she moves around the mansion in a rushed bid to find Valjean and prevent his bloody fate from occurring.
It's perfect! \o\
But she's not the only one being guided there; there's a lot of noise, and said noise is leading more Hellhounds to the scene. A hound leaps at him, sinking its long teeth into his side, but his response is prompt: he shoots the creature point-blank in the face, thus ending its life.
It's harsh and cruel, but there's no time for showing mercy, not when more Hellhounds are coming in what seems to be an endless flood. He whips around then, gun still in his hand that's slick with blood (mostly from the Hellhounds, but some of it belongs to him too), ready to face the oncoming pack.
