Snikt!
Crash!

A long, segmented appendage had appeared from the side of the ball of fur and stuck itself into the brick wall inches away from the vagrant's torso. The creature shook itself awake with a low rumble, and if it had been more alert, the long hooked claw at the end of its leg might have stuck its target instead of dealing him a glancing blow.

Five more carapaced legs slid from the hairy beast, all spaced evenly around its body, along with a slender neck and head which slowly unfurled until the monster was more than twice its original size. Its eyes, each the size of a fist and unnervingly human in shape, blearily scanned the area in search of the disturbance which had awoken it. When its gaze settled on the crumbling hole in the wall it slowly opened its jaw - from which two pairs of pointed tusks could be seen - and began to crane its long neck forward in search of its prey.


The thin girl on the rooftops leaned forward for a better view, waving dust from the crumbling brick away from her face. She was fairly sure that a person had just appeared and made a big fuss before being crushed by that strange monster. Her face split into a wide grin.

"I knew that was a bad idea."

A soft glow at the edge of the rooftop caught her attention. It seemed the sudden person had dropped his smoke stick before being thrown into that wall. Ophelia gingerly picked it up and called, "Sir, I believe this is yours," before dropping it down toward the ground below.
