Wanda, we're never going to unearth the secrets of this world-
[He feels her effort to aid him in wrenching this thing free, and that immediately overrides any immediacy in her warning; if Henry would have cared in the first place, besides.]
-we're not going to do it by standing by and waiting for something to happen to us.
[Action versus reaction. He's tired of simply letting things happen to him.
And so, it's not unlike a rubberband snapping, and quickly: something in the veil tears, a hole yawns in the fabric of reality itself, and just above the shrine, a retinue of so many arms reaches through at all manner of awkward, twisted angles, as though it pull itself in. Wanda you wouldn't be able to relate to this at all, huh.
Eventually, it simply falls through and lands... in a heap at their feet. A strange monster is really all it can be described at, with grey flesh and too many limbs, like a human turned upside-down, ribcage jutting upwards, fleshy and blooming. It twitches wetly.
What the actual hell.]

arms, a creature with its torso open, its organs naked to the surface, falling quite suddenly at their feet.
wanda takes a step back, already taking in a pulse of this creature's inner workings. her hand surrounds itself with a circling of her scarlet magic.]
This creature cannot be, Henry.
[and, unless he or someone else stops her, wanda will disintegrate it from its existence in their world.]
no subject
[No, how can she simply banish it away, try to destroy it? When something so fresh and impossibly curious is all twisted limbs and heaving "chest" at their feet, some creature unlike anything he's ever seen before. Something alien and terrible and fascinating.
He reaches out to grab her by her wrist, a sign to halt.]
What do you mean it cannot be? I can feel it, it's like... It's connected.
[To his mind. Somewhere deep, somewhere he cannot precisely access, but the feeling ist here, so faint -- as thin as fishing wire, but just as taut.]
No, wait. Let's see if it's even dangerous.
[A laughable notion, because just look at it.
...Look at it as it starts to rise onto its many legs, hissing out as it twists around to turn its "front" towards them both; hard to tell without a face, but it seems almost... disoriented?]
no subject
she pulls her wrist back onto herself, showing her disapproval.]
We both know it's dangerous.
[just by looking at it — but also based on what they're receiving as a mental connection, surface-level as it may be. as it starts moving, wanda takes a step back, but holds her ground once she sees that it seems to be gathering its bearings.]
no subject
When the thing rises and twists itself to look at them, Henry barely takes a backstep. There's something there, that nigglings sense of connection that makes him believe he's not under threat — at least not immediately.
Which is a strange stance to take when it lunges forward just enough to close the space between both of them, raising its limbs in the air, hissing loudly—
(Henry’s eyes widen, but really, he just smiles a little.)
—before it pauses, as though frozen in place… and twists around to dart away through the trees.]
