Sometime during the night, there was a loud knock on the steel door. Outside, the weather had not let up. The rain was even heavier and the lightening was frequent.
This time the QA had not taken her claws and pointed ears away from her, she had assumed it was because on Earth, there were many supernaturals roaming around. Unlike her other quests, Kina knew why she was chosen for this one. She had plenty of experience with portals, not just that but if anything happened to come through one, they knew she was capable of dealing with it. As they liked to tell her often, she was only part of the QA because she was good at killing. That and a small lack of morals.
Kina basked in the weather as she waited outside the door. The lightening illuminating her from behind, she knew her eyes were silver from her happiness and she wondered what she looked like.

Valerie stood up when no-one appeared to have heard the knock, and crossed to the door. She scanned it with her thermal imaging and saw the blaze of heat outside, with a peculiar signature that could only mean one person. "Kina" she smiled, opening the door and letting the Valkyrie in "I wondered if you'd show up"

Nabarl finished rooting through the freezer. Having found nothing but poultry, he was slightly less hungry.
He shut the door and turned to hear the door knock. By the time it had registered, however, it had already been answered by Valerie.
He headed over, one hand on his scythe blade, just in case it was hostile. However, when Kina walked through the door, he immediately removed his hand. "Hello again Kina. I'm glad you're with us on this." He nodded his head toward William. "He's in charge, and can fill you in on any details you may be missing."

William had finished cleaning his rifle and put it back it together a while before the knock at the door. The knock broke William from his sleep, grabbing the rifle and bolting it, whilst fighting the internal urge to transform. In one swift motion he rose from asleep to aiming at the door. The Nabarl seemed tense and he couldn't see Valerie, but they both seemed to know the newcomer. He lower the gun slightly, and cradled it in his arms, and nodded at the new member of their group, who, from what he could gather from Nabarl and Valerie, was called Kina. He said nothing as he slowly unbolted his rifle and set it down on the bed next to him, before reaching underneath and drawing out yet another envelope and putting it on the table he'd previously conducted a meeting at.

Nabarl pulled out a notepad, and began jotting down some things.
(OOC: If anyone wants to take a look, it will merely have a list of our Names, and say what Kina and I am atm, so he won't be trying to hide it)
After five minutes, and no progress, he went back sharpening his scythe.

Valerie raised her eyebrows and looked around. After the excitement of her only other mission for the Questing Association, she'd assumed all missions would be like it. This seemed somewhat lacking in excitement, so far.

Nabarl put down his whetstone, and looked around. He need to test the blade on something, but what could he do it on safely?
An idea popped into his head, but it could so easily go wrong.
He turned to William. "Hey, do you have any towels here?"

William was settled down enjoying the relaxing pace of the evening. when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him. Snapping out of the semi-relaxed state. he raised an eyebrow at Nabarl's question.
"Sure, there's some over there. Why do you need them though?" He gestured to one of the many crates stacked against one of the walls.
As he waited for an answer, he picked out a slightly different sound that the rhythmic pounding of the rain on the sheet metal roof above them. He strained his supernatural hearing and heard a faint clicking noise. not unlike something with claws walking on metal. Still listening, he noted that the noise stopped, then started again.
"Too big to be a cat, and wrong rhythm to be a bird" He thought, whilst silent cursing the rain for hampering his superb sense of smell.It was then he heard the same sound but interrupting the first. "There's more than one!" His inner wolf was going crazy, and eventually William let it take over.
With a snarl he vaulted the banister and dropped to the bottom floor and started running to the door, not pausing to explain himself to the others. He barely paused to open it as he burst out into the stormy night, and from the door way began to make a series of impossible leaps onto the room of the safe-house, using bins, and the ledges of other building in the alleyway as platforms. Once on the roof, the wolf was in control and William's body, counting on the thunderstorm to cover much of the noise, creaked and gave out noises of bones grinding, snapping and growing accompanied by brief howls of pain from William himself, before he stood fully transformed on the roof. His vision gradually faded to greyscale, yet this barely bothered him as his smell and hearing were compensating for this loss. He dropped onto all fours, yet still as high as a man at the shoulder. His scent picked up the source of the noise and he slowly began to stalk his prey.

'Now that's more like it!' Valerie thought, staring up at the ceiling and using her thermal imaging to try to see what was happening on the other side.

Nabarl was about to answer when William suddenly ran out the building. He was puzzled by this, but went and grabbed a towel and a beer from the fridge.
He laid the towel over the table, then placed the beer on the towel.
He swung the scythe in a horizontal arc. The highest rim of the bottle, and the lid, cut clean off. As the bottle began to fall Nabarl caught it. "I think that'll be sharp enough..."
He took the beer, downed it, and set off after William, shifting as soon as he exited the door. He flew up over the rooftops, and set about looking for him.
