[Slaughter] Her gun had already been in her hand, half out of its holster, the cant of her body turned away from the woman, as if she were about to ascend the stairs. It occurs to her briefly to keep up the facade. To scream and crumple to the ground.
But if she is on her knees, she is in a position of powerlessness.
But if she goes to her knees, someone might come closer to drag her up, assuring the shot.
They're close enough now.
These thoughts take but an instant. Her gun is coming free of her holster, of her coat and lifting up to take aim, her thumb removing the safety, her finger finding the trigger like it had never left it.
A brief thought, before the squeeze of the trigger, the violent, deafening report. She hoped to - well, no-one - that Kora had picked up her phone, or the Skald would have a rather upsetting voicemail to hear the next time she checked them.

[Sorrow] Everything happens in strobe-steps. Imogen slips in and Jo-Ellen reaches to close the door behind her, flipping home a pair of deadbolts, though the chain lock is dangling down the wooden doorframe. There's this sort of struggling silence from basement, dark below.
The butcher - in his rubber apron and with his face, supperating face - sniffs in Imogen's direction. When she speaks, his snout moves. His hands are human, and his body - which is large if going to fat - similarly human, but the eyes are narrowed, piglike, all wrong.
Imogen eases her weapon from her holster, and turns and fires faster than either the butcher or Jo-Ellen can react. There is the sharp scent of gunfire, this choking, anguished cry from the water-eyed woman who let her inside, and the dull, sick thud of a bullet striking the man-beast solidly in the meat of his chest. He lets out a flat snarl of pain and surprise, staggering back a step or two.
Already, Jo-Ellen is reaching for her butcher's blade.
And in the background, Jimmy Wakely croons moooooooooon over Montana.

[Sorrow] Without pausing for though, Imogen turns in quick succession and shoots Jo-Ellen, first in the head, then in the shoulder, sending the bleached blond woman tumbling back down the darkened stairs, bleeding from the mouth, the ears and a slow-blooming wound in her chest.
The woman gives a strangled cry before she falls, but fall she does, before she has wrapped her hands around the handle of the meat cleaver.
There is a roar of absolute outrage from the pig-face above, this blast of rage that remind Imogen, absolutely, of the rage carried by Garou. His ruined face screws up, and he gives a snort of such wounded outrage that she is certain he is going to come unhinged. Without hesitating, she turns her weapon on him. The first shot goes off beautifully, clipping one of his ears, drawing a bloody line across his fleshing head. The last shot backfires in her hand, a flash of gunpowder, acrid, white-hot and painful.
Meanwhile, Sonny has disappeared into the kitchen, and Imogen can hear the cough-cough of a gas motor starting up upstairs.

There are 2500 nerve receptors in the hand per square centimetre. Imogen is not prone to exaggeration, but in the moment of injury, it feels as if every one of them has gone raw.
She does her best not to think about for what she uses her hands. Grits her teeth and bears the pain as she clears the chamber of the maligned bullet, then moves the gun to her opposite hand, the handle feeling slightly awkward against her palm, misshapen, but otherwise, she is as steady as she ever was.

[Sorrow] Then - chaos. The gauntlet splits, and a pair of Garou, hispo, descend upon Sonny, snarling. The first tears into him twice, and puts the beast-thing down. Then the beast-thing rises again, furious, his beady brown eyes clouded over with the unseeing fever of frenzy. He turns on the larger of the two, tearing into her once, pulling away a bloody chunk of flesh from her throat and chest. And again, though this time his tusks find no purchase on her hide.
Imogen hears the noise from below, and turns, leveling her gun on an old man - gray haired, rheumy eyed - who is charging up the steps with a pitchfork in hand. The pitchfork has dull tines and hay sticking out from it, as if he were tending... livestock, down there in the basement. She wings him, drawing blood, but he spits and keeps coming.

[Sorrow] Blood spatters all over the white linoleum and the white formica, the cheap white tin cabinets and the fluorescent lights swinging above. The battle is short and vicious. One of the Garou is badly wounded. The other turns mid-battle and lays hands on her. Or paws. Or snout. There is a faint, blue, and the worst of her wounds knit clouds. Again, the pig-faced beast-now lunges, snapping and snarling and snorting like a monster, and though he seizes the female in his jaws, he does not tear further into her tough hide.
Twice she charges forward, seizes him. The second attack does it. Tough as the monster is, it staggers to its knees, falls forward, unmoving. The light of frenzy lingers in its eyes. With a whuff that sprays blood spatter over the white linoleum, Sorrow turns to Roman and wordlessly tells him to end the beast.
Meanwhile: an old man charges up the basement stairs at Imogen, holding his pitchfork like a battering ram. She turns and levels her weapon on him, squeezing off three shots with eerie calm, with workmanlike precision, until he stumbles forward with a great, wheezing breath. Astonishingly, he comes back staggering upward, a thin on man in the grips of a monster's frenzy, the pitchfork still in hand.
His body was not meant for such stresses, though. He stumbles forward, sticking the tines into the riser just below Imogen's feet, piercing his own stomach with the dull end of the pitchfork as he falls forward.
[Roman Turner] He nodded with Kora's wordless order and brought his foot up high before stomping it down on Pig Face's head. He was more intent on reaching Imogen to spread a little love over her wounds.
[Sorrow] [PAUSE!]
But if she is on her knees, she is in a position of powerlessness.
But if she goes to her knees, someone might come closer to drag her up, assuring the shot.
They're close enough now.
These thoughts take but an instant. Her gun is coming free of her holster, of her coat and lifting up to take aim, her thumb removing the safety, her finger finding the trigger like it had never left it.

Grits her teeth and bears the pain as she clears the chamber of the maligned bullet, then moves the gun to her opposite hand, the handle feeling slightly awkward against her palm, misshapen, but otherwise, she is as steady as she ever was.

[Sorrow] Then - chaos. The gauntlet splits, and a pair of Garou, hispo, descend upon Sonny, snarling. The first tears into him twice, and puts the beast-thing down. Then the beast-thing rises again, furious, his beady brown eyes clouded over with the unseeing fever of frenzy. He turns on the larger of the two, tearing into her once, pulling away a bloody chunk of flesh from her throat and chest. And again, though this time his tusks find no purchase on her hide.
Imogen hears the noise from below, and turns, leveling her gun on an old man - gray haired, rheumy eyed - who is charging up the steps with a pitchfork in hand. The pitchfork has dull tines and hay sticking out from it, as if he were tending... livestock, down there in the basement. She wings him, drawing blood, but he spits and keeps coming.

[Sorrow] Blood spatters all over the white linoleum and the white formica, the cheap white tin cabinets and the fluorescent lights swinging above. The battle is short and vicious. One of the Garou is badly wounded. The other turns mid-battle and lays hands on her. Or paws. Or snout. There is a faint, blue, and the worst of her wounds knit clouds. Again, the pig-faced beast-now lunges, snapping and snarling and snorting like a monster, and though he seizes the female in his jaws, he does not tear further into her tough hide.
Twice she charges forward, seizes him. The second attack does it. Tough as the monster is, it staggers to its knees, falls forward, unmoving. The light of frenzy lingers in its eyes. With a whuff that sprays blood spatter over the white linoleum, Sorrow turns to Roman and wordlessly tells him to end the beast.
Meanwhile: an old man charges up the basement stairs at Imogen, holding his pitchfork like a battering ram. She turns and levels her weapon on him, squeezing off three shots with eerie calm, with workmanlike precision, until he stumbles forward with a great, wheezing breath. Astonishingly, he comes back staggering upward, a thin on man in the grips of a monster's frenzy, the pitchfork still in hand.
His body was not meant for such stresses, though. He stumbles forward, sticking the tines into the riser just below Imogen's feet, piercing his own stomach with the dull end of the pitchfork as he falls forward.
[Roman Turner] He nodded with Kora's wordless order and brought his foot up high before stomping it down on Pig Face's head. He was more intent on reaching Imogen to spread a little love over her wounds.
[Sorrow] [PAUSE!]
