Jimmy's gut continues to heave as he stares at the pile of...vomit? food?...whatever is on the floor in front of him. Finally, he forces himself to stand up as Malcolm is leaving the room once more. "Wh-what the hell is going on, Manny? I don't feel very good. I-oh dear God, is it moving!?" He looks back at the strange pile of goo on the floor. "Manny, come look at this, please tell me that's not moving!"

Manny makes a mental note to say something to Declan when they get back. Jimmy seems to be cracking under pressure.


Gee Jimmy, you’re just feeling a little krenk.

He hands the thug a towel Clean up eh?

Nevertheless he looks at the pile of sick to humor Jimmy. Even if he’s ill and maybe a bit crazy, he’s still dangerous.

I don’t see nothing except some of Edith’s corn there bubby.

Manny and Lenny examine Lenny’s sick but see nothing move or shift leaving Jimmy to wonder if it was just a trick of the eye. Both men hear the muffled voice of Malcom as he addresses one of their comrades.

Jimmy holds a hand to his stomach as he groggily goes to the window and looks outside.

Mickey staggered to his feet, swaying a little as he tried to pull himself up.
He tried to call for Lenny as he stormed out of the barn, but he was still out of breath.
"What the hell was that?... What the hell was that?"
He stumbled his way out of the barn, seeing Old Pete on the ground and his brother getting to his aid; his cool demeanor was now gone, as he was obviously shaken.
"Mister Malcolm" he begun, but his voice barely left his mouth. "What's happening?" he managed to say audibly as he floundered towards the two men.

Old Pete
Pete coughs and splutters, spewing a black viscous fluid all over the ground as his whole body convulses. Malcom gets on his knees calling to the man Pete? Pete?! What's happening? How can I help you? Malcom rubs and pats Pete's back as the man coughs and vomits. Abruptly the man rolls over onto his back, the rain splattering his face as more black ichor splatters from his mouth coating his cheeks, neck and chest. The man coughs and screams. Mothe..... his scream gives way to a gurgle as the man seems to have some kind of seizure and then goes still.

Malcolm and Edith Jarvey
Malcom puts a hand on the man's chest. Pete? PETE!! Malcolm looks up at Mickey with frantic eyes. Can you help? Can you do anything? Before Mickey can respond, a loud crash is heard back closer to the hay barn. As Mickey and Malcolm look in that direction, a massive boar comes running into view. It stops on the edge of the lantern light spilling off of the porch. It's eyes flash red in the reflected light and it puffs and stamps the ground in obvious agression.

Malcolm says in a stern voice BRUTUS...
OOC:
Sanity Check Mickey! (0/d3)

In the house, Edith pops her head into the door frame of Jimmy and Manny's room. Se has a wet cloth she is holding up to the side of her mouth that is soaked in blood. She says through obvious pain Are you boys alright? Have either've you see Adelaide? Oh my... Edith looks at the vomit. Don't you worry none about that... I'll clean it just as soon as things settle down. I'm just goin to see to Malcolm and Pete. Edith retreats from the room and starts making her way downstains.
Feb 22, 2024 3:52 am
At turning and seeing Edith, the blood on her face, Jimmy looks at Manny, "What the hell is going on here?! We need to check on the others, who knows what kind of trouble they started!" He heads to the door, intending to head downstairs in search of Mickey and Lenny.
Feb 22, 2024 12:52 pm
Manny quickly gets dressed and follows Jimmy down the stairs, his hand on the .32 in his pocket.
Feb 22, 2024 7:36 pm
"Help? What the hell is wrong with him? What the hell is wrong with this place?"
Mickey is literally trembling as he slowly backs away from the dangerously-looking boar, getting ready to run as fast as he can towards the house.

"We need to leave!" Lenny says confused, why don't they seem to get that? Whatever is going on Escape is essential.

He looks to everyone he can see, Jimmy Edith and Malcolm, "My Brother, Is most Important Come Now Or I Go."

Malcolm and Edith Jarvey
The mobsters reunite in the entry mudroom of the house. Edith pushes past the group to go out the screen door onto the porch of the farm where the lantern light just barely illuminates Malcolm and the still body of Pete in the yard. Malcolm looks off towards the haybarn and stands slowly holding his hands out. The group all hears the low snorting chuffs of the boar. You can tell the moment the beast charges as Malcolm turns to run to the house, EDITH, THE SHOTGUN! he yells. Edith comes back in the screen door and frantically grabs for the shotgun behind the door.

Malcolm gets 10 feet from the porch as the massive boar charges into view. It skewers Malcolm Jarvey through his abdomen with its tusk, blood spraying the front of the house and catching in the screen door. Malcolm screams in howling pain grabbing the tusk and trying to hold on as the boar begins gyrating and thrashing him about, flinging blood as the man screams.

Edith Jarvey cries out in alarm and then raises the shotgun taking aim at the wildly moving boar. The gun explodes in her hands and she looks on in shock and horror as her hands and face begin bleeding from hundreds of tiny holes. ...Malcolm... I'm coming... The woman begins to sprint off the porch at the boar.

Jimmy’s first shot slams into the massive boar’s side causing it to squeal in pain. Its thrashing intensifies as it seems to go into a rage. Lenny runs to try and shove the thing over while making his way to the road back to Blackwater Creek. The wild boar lashes out at the man in defense.

Lenny lands a solid blow. Oddly he feels his hand sink into the creatures flesh more than it should and Lenny is overwhelmed with the stench of meat close to going bad. Lenny feels a rib crack under his swing and the boar staggers to the side.

Lenny gets a good view of the creature. Black pustules litter the things skin weeping a viscous black liquid. The thing’s eyes are bloodshot and crazed. It chuffs wildly as it regains its footing.

"Lenny..." Mickey mutters as he finally comes to his senses. He quickly pats around his chest and waist, surprised to find his trusty revolver tucked under his belt. He takes out the handgun and points it at the boar;
"Bacon seems to have gotten bad Len."
The odd witticism comes as a sincere thank you from Mickey to his brother as he fires his gun.

Mickey’s bullet penetrates the wild boars skull. It stumbles to the side as blood and black ichor seep from wounds and its mouth. As the beast falls, the limp form of Malcolm Jarvey slides off the thing’s tusks, falling to the ground in a tangle. Edith walks forward and slumps next to her husband, reaching out one hand to stroke his hair while she holds her abdomen with the other in the falling rain.

The woman lays down in the mud, staring at Malcolm as her hand delicately touches the man’s face. She closes her eyes.

"What the actual hell is wrong with this place..." says Mickey - his breathing still sharp and quick from their ordeal.
"The girl... You seen the girl? She came to the barn before... Did you see her Lenny?"
Feb 28, 2024 1:02 am
"Yes," Lenny says not thinking at all about whether or not he actually saw Adelaide but thinking of what will get Mikey to leave. "She's OK. I'm not sure it was even her in the barn. he adds to make it clear that whatever was going on shouldn't be their concern.
