Events (scenes & aspects)

October 20th 1990 - 2:23 am - Good Intentions, Mammoth Mountain (CA) - lightly snowing 

Walter gives Crystal a hand getting Jacq back to her apartment (Jacqueline having passed out) while Mr Sparkles follows observing them.  When they arrive at the apartment it's the dead of night.  Crystal notices someone laying down by Jacq's front door and gets out of Walter's car to take a closer look.  Mr Sparkles gets closer to see what is going on watching Crystal approach the fallen person.

When Crystal gets close she can see it's a woman, a dead woman who has had her chest ripped open, just looking at the body fear wells up in her "Oh! My God, it's a body!"  Crystal panic's and runs back to Walters car, which he locks and watches Crystal banging on the windows and trying to get in.

Mr Sparkles moves closer to the body to take a look, drawing a silenced pistol from under his coat he looks at the corpse with soldiers eyes and sees that "It was no human that did this" he also recognizes the jacket draped around the woman's shoulders as belonging to Cody Brian (Jacqueline and he have had a run in with Cody before).

Walter is saying in the car and not coming out, until Crystal blurts out that the woman has had her heart ripped out, this he might find interesting so he gets out of the car, grabbing a tire iron and a flashlight from the trunk.  We he sees the body he is overcome with Horrific fascination, he must know more!

They investigate the scene and discover the identity of the woman as Claire Bennet, a local search and rescue worker, she is missing her peach silk scarf and she had recently taken some star-shine.  Looking at the wounds Walter concludes that they were made by smallish clawed hands that ripped and rended the torso, pulling out the heart, the murder happened recently.  Two sets of tracks spotted leading away from the scene, one set of larger tracks lead around the side of the apartment towards the back the other smaller set head overland back towards town.  The smaller set look a little odd but it's figured out that the smaller tracks are made by a barefoot person.  The tracks that go around the back of the apartment are checked and it looks like the person got to the back door, began to look for something then ran off (in the direction of out of town, more than likely headed to the Slippery Slopes bar).

Mr Sparkles gets Crystal to call the police after Walter dumps the still sleeping Jacq out of his car.  Then Mr Sparkles and Walter drive off leaving Crystal to handle the Police.

The Police arrive in the form of Bill Mallard, he takes control of the scene and seeing that Jacq and Crystal are both under the influence gets one of his deputies to take them back to the station to sleep it off in the cells.

3:30am - Walter's Drugs Laboratory
Walter and Mr Sparkles pick up the bloody barefoot tracks and they lead them back to Walters place outside they bump into Curtis who is looking for Crystal to score something for a party.  They notice that the building has been broken into, bloody hand prints are spotted around the door.  Mr Sparkles brings Curtis up to speed regarding the situation while Walter readies his tire iron and trusty flashlight.

When they enter the building they see that the normally organised and working laboratory has become a broken tangled mess.  Bloody hand prints and scratches have been left everywhere, the killer came here looking for something that they didn't find.  Walter discovers small pieces of flesh have been left behind in some of the deeper scratches also checking his inventory that it looks like none of his stock has been taken.  However he didn't have any star-shine in stock.

The killer left via a window, smashing it as they left, and headed in the direction of Little Hawaii.

4:15am - Little Hawaii
All is quiet at the Little Hawaii, it's after hours and should be locked up tight as the trio approach they can see someone laying face down on the ground keeping the door open.  As Curtis and Walter approach they can see that the normally busy bar is now big, empty, creepy and dark after-hours and is that a spot of blood?  Curtis half recognizes the man as a guy that works at the bar (Curtis being a regular) and hoping to help him he reaches around and turns him over to reveal that he is in a pool of his own blood and is missing most of his jaw.  It's been clawed off. Curtis loses it big time as "My hands are covered in blood!"

This is when Jake arrives on the scene.  They have a quick chat about what's happening and decide to enter the dark bar, well Curtis is left outside for a moment until he realises that he is all alone outside then follows up Mr Sparkles making sure he is behind him not wanting to get in front of the man with a gun.

They follow the bloody trail inside the bar, Walter leading the way with Mr Sparkles, Curtis and Jake following.  They get to the bar area and Jake heads behind the bar to pick up a bottle of Bud.  Seeing this Mr Sparkles is thinking about making himself a drink and doesn't notice that Walter has crossed to the other side of the bar and has found the entrance to the cellar open.  There is a sudden sound of items smashing, Walter gives out a warning cry just before the killer leaps on him knocking him back into a table.

Mr Sparkles re-thinks making a drink and calls out a name to the killer, thinking that it might distract them.  Curtis dives behind the bar and for want of a better word cowers in fear.  Walter scrambles over the table hoping to put distance between him and the mad creature trying to rip is chest open. Jake, being a two-fisted PI jumps over the bar and throws a mighty fist at the killer who in one cat-like motion ducks under the blow and pounces over the table clawing at Walter attempting to open his chest with her razor sharp claws giving him a Sucking chest wound in the process.

Mr Sparkles takes aim and shoots at the killer the bullet ripping into the darkness, Curtis continues to cowers, Jake gets a bit of a red mist up and barrels into the killer booting he in the ribs causing something to be cracked and uncomfortable.  This allows Walter to get to his feet and make a run for the door.  The killer ignores Jake and pounces after Walter, this time being unable to get her claws into him.

Mr Sparkles takes another shot at the killer, another near miss, the killers luck is rapidly wearing out.  Curtis continues to cower in fear.  Jake jumps on the killer, bravely grappling her, making use of her cracked ribs he keeps her from attacking Walter who now the killer is restrained decides to use the tire iron giving her a bit of a smack down. 

Walter takes a second swing and the killers luck is all out, Jake headbutts her from behind and she falls to the floor.  Jakes rage takes control of him and he continues to headbutt the killer until there is nothing left of the head except a bloody pulpy shattered mess of blood and bones.

Once Jake has calmed down he finds himself alone in the bar with Mr Sparkles.  Curtis has taken Walter to the local Medical Centre to get him patched up.  Mr Sparkles tells Jake that it's okay, he'll take care of the scene.  After Jake leaves Mr Sparkles calls up his Agency contact, as monsters like this should be recovered for study.  Only thirty minutes later Mr Castle turns up to take care of business.
