Thread: Monster Rising (ChaosInk x LoveStand)

The leviathan that lay in wait had changed much over the years, evolving as human society dominated the world. It could remember many centuries ago, back when humans lived in villages of wood and would wield weapons of stone and weak metals, when fire was still considered powerful. Back then it had been a mighty beast, dwelling in the oceans and capable of bringing down an entire fleet of human ships. But then it began it's hibernation at the deepest point of the ocean, hidden from the humans that could never reach it, but when it awoke, smaller and weakened it found an ocean that was unfamiliar. Corrupted by human pollution, the leviathan arose to a world that was so drastically different to the one it had left. No longer could the beast easily claim human vessels, nor could it emerge from the water to destroy fishing villages and drag it's victims into the water, for now it was too weak. So instead it worked it's way into the human city, dwelling in the strange sewer systems. Now, whereas once the best would feed on hundreds at a time, it was reduced to being a parasite. Every now and then, usually on weekend nights the creature would grab a woman and have it's way with her, using her body to carry it's offspring and siphoning a small amount of energy from her. After months of that it had grown again in size, but still lived in the shadows. On this particular evening, as Cally wandered, half drunk and half lost though the city in her little red dress and heels, she was unaware of the fact that the monster had marked her as it's next target. As he heels clicked against the pavement, the creature picked up on the sound and the movements through the ground. As she drew nearer it picked up on her scent, the mingling of alcohol and perfume which the creature had identified as the sign of a prime target. The various tendrils and tentacles of the beast began to move, rearranging in the sewers and rising above ground in the dark alley before Cally stepped into it. Rising out of grates, cracks, crevices and any other exit from the sewer, the tentacles clung to the edge of the alley, hiding in the shadows as the young woman approached, ready to lash out and grab her. It had developed a great technique of grabbing the women, a tentacle wrapping around their waists and another over their mouth simultaneously, cutting off their screams as they were dragged kicking and screaming into the darkness. But this time the creature was lucky and Cally turned into the alley, slowly making her way through it. Had it been the middle of the day, or had Cally been sober she might have noticed the tentacles that lined the alley, ready to pounce. There were tentacles of varying sizes and shapes, some with certain abilities. One of the great things about the leviathan was they way it could control it's shape and it's own evolution. Now, many of the tentacles were smooth and covered in a light layer of slime, pulsing slightly as the creature anticipated it's next victim. As Cally reached the halfway point of the alley the tentacles made their move a strong thick one wrapped around her waist, while another smaller one covered her mouth. More, smaller tendrils began to wrap around her legs and arms, firmly holding her in place.
