[ The boy's had a head injury about ten days back, so it's...eh, lights swim in front of his eyes, but Alex blinks tightly and groans, nose scrunching. He's bit his tongue. He spits out some blood and rises on his elbows. A crash of a mirror signals that the burning corpse imitating his girlfriend's gone through the mirror. Ms. Lewton, against one of the far door frames.
Alex doesn't have a lot to work with her. He's wracking his brain for something other than an Eldritch Blast or a Fireball, which is the worst option right now. As he is, a caw breaks out from the darkness. Beaky. Shit. He forgot- he lost her, in that--
The raven swoops down on the amalgam, the two trying to advance on Mia while she's distracted. Talons swipe, hitting nothing but keeping it from getting closer.
Okay. That's helpful. Alex grunts and stumbles to his feet, breathing heavily. ]
Let's try that agai--oof-! [ He's tackled into a door frame. Tod. He forgot about Tod.
The corpse sneers at him--seems he's put his head back on--and all of a sudden his hands are around Alex's throat. Fitting. ]
Heyyy buddy. Been awhile since we got some one-on-one, huh, pal? [ He leans in close, and Alex can smell formaldehyde on his breath. ] George says "hey," by the way.
[ He starts to squeeze, raising Alex up the frame with unnatural strength. ]
You... and him... and me... We should all hang out, Aleeex.
