Blood Magick

What were those things?

They're, like, diseased or something. Did you see them?

Yeah, why do you think I was running?

I tried that already. They didn't answer.

-Sshhhh! -Jesus!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

You guys okay?

Get the hell back!

Justin! Behind you!

Justin! Oh, Jesus fuck! Justin!

Help! Help!

Oh my god! Oh my god! Justin!

We gotta get indoors, man!

Before those things come back!

Over here! Get inside!

Thank you so much.

Is she okay?

I don't know.

What was that noise? It was like a bomb went off.

They were all around us. I thought we were--

She started saying something.

I don't know, I don't think it was English.

And there was this blast...

and they all went away and she just hit the ground.

Sgt. Quinn to dispatch, come in.

Sgt. Quinn to dispatch! We have an officer down!

Please respond!

They're not answering the phones, either.

Is she dead?

She's breathing.

Shit!

You have a gun, right?

Yeah.

With a whopping two rounds left in it.

Does anybody have any clue as to what's going on?

Monsters.

That's the sum total of it.

Maybe they're, like, mutants, or, or sideshow freaks.

It's like a bioweapon.

Something genetically engineered.

Let's evaluate where we are and what we know.

When did all this start?

It was a clear night until about an hour ago...

and then the storm clouds started rolling in and--

Let me in!

I know you're in there, I saw you go in! Open up!

Don't.

Jesus, open the fucking door!

Close the fucking door!

Oh.

How'd you do that?

Where am I?

In a costume shop.

Why?

I work here. I have the key.

We brought you inside. Those things were coming after us--

Shit.

It's dead.

What does that mean?

It means there aren't going to be

any more big flashes of light for a while.

Who are you?

I'm asking the questions right now.

Do you know what those things--

A-da-da-da-da-da!

Did you just blast the monster out the door?

Then sit down and shut up while Mama's figuring shit out.

How long was I unconscious?

Just a couple minutes.

Okay.

Now, real talk people.

Did anyone do anything really stupid like...

read from an enchanted book or bleed on a talisman

or make a deal with something that didn't have a face

or anything else that they clearly shouldn't have done?

I didn't.

Are you kidding us?

Yeah, okay. "Are you kidding us?"

"This can't be happening."

Get it all out of your system now

'cause I don't want to hear any of that shit later.

We'll believe you.

Just, please, tell us what's going on.

Alright.

My name is Aisling.

Let's get some things straight.

One, I am a witch...

which means I can fuck your shit up with my mind.

Two...

I just went through a really bad breakup

so I am not to be dicked with right now.

Three...

I have the mother of all hangovers.

See one and two.

Okay.

So, what are those things outside?

They're demons.

Why are they here?

Probably to kill all of you.

I'm not sure yet.

The important thing is that you do everything I say

without question and you'll probably be fine.

Okay.

What should we do?

Does anyone have any beer?

Try that again you demonic cockgobbler...

I'll twizzle your nutsack off with my bare hands!

Ugh.

Here's your stick.

Why do you look familiar?

I was taking you in for being drunk and disorderly.

That sounds plausible.

Um, I'm bleeding...

a lot.

Here.

What happened to you?

One of those things bit me.

Alright.

Need to seal this place up.

Where's my bag?

It's in the back of my squad car.

You were under arrest.

That bag has all my juju shit in it

which I could be using to save your asses right now.

Can we go get it?

What, with those things out there?

Alright, alright, alright. Let me just--

Everyone give me your phones.

Vires, sapientia, et gratia.

Nart, agna agus grásta.

Forza, sabedoría e graza.

Vires, sapientia, et gratia.

Nart, agna agus grásta.

Forza, sabedoría e graza.

Alright.

This is going to be a little weak, but...

it should hold.

Bannaik agus deeon an àite seo

won acgain a gaynacg cron.

Bannaik agus deeon an àite--

Aagh!

Shit motherfucker sandpaper tits!

What happened?

I don't know. That should have worked.

What were you even trying to do?

Put a protective seal up around the building.

This had a full charge on it.

It sure did.

I needed something to power the spell.

My crystal's shot, so...

I tried to use the juice from the phones.

Oh, that's great. So, we're stuck in here...

with no way of calling anybody.

I could use blood instead.

That's like magic crack.

Care to donate a quart?

Let's just find something to block this door.

Does this thing move?

Oh, yeah.

Feeling that hangover.

Alright.

The good news

is that these things die in the daylight

so you only have to make it 'til sunrise.

The bad news is that if something's keeping me...

from throwing up a seal on this place

it's probably because one of those things is already in here.

How much more of this place is there?

Um...

Whoa.

So...

something is hiding somewhere in here.

Mm-hm.

What's over there?

You gotta be shitting me.

Who needs this many costumes?

It's a costume shop.

Alright.

How many of us are there? Six?

That's three groups of two.

Buddy up.

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. We're not gonna actually--

We sure are.

The faster we find this demon

the faster I can get a barrier up around this place.

I call the witch.

What do we do if we find one?

Hit it really hard until it's dead.

Lead on.

Anyone want to come with me?

Me. I will.

Okay.

Lucky me. I get the cop.

Hm.

Lighting in here sucks.

How do people find what they're looking for?

Well, during the day

we get most of our light from the skylights. So...

Skylights?

Yeah.
