[Dogs are one thing. Fortescue likes dogs. Especially dogs who play fetch, and dogs who accompany soldiers. Seeing service dogs in the war was good on the eyes, like a small slice of the familiar in the estranged hostilities of combat. But these sounds?
These aren't service dogs. Not that she knows where they are, but the noises coming from an adjoining corridor aren't from a kindly canine. She knows that much from the snarls, and clicks on a video feed. Jazz, agitated and hissing, is curled around her shoulders, ears flat against his head. Her dress doesn't offer much support for him, but then, she's used to his claws digging in. She prefers it to losing him, in tough situations. Is this going to be a tough situation, is the real q...
Wait, that snarl was awfully close. But she still doesn't see anything... It's a bad time to be walking back to her room, that's for sure. She quickens her step.]
All right. Who forgot to feed the vicious guard dogs I didn't think we had? It almost makes me miss the bears.

[ Panicking? Who's panicking? ]
[ video ]
Needles, probably. Veterinarians, no idea. [Another snarl. She jumps.] ...probably not going to work.
[ video ]
Maybe they'll get fed up and eat each other...
[ video ]
That would be very convenient. They seem — [Bark! Somewhere close...] — agitated.
[ video ]
[ Please don't get eaten. Where is Donna going to find a new bestie? ]
[ video ]
[ video ]
Just... be careful, okay? You and Jazz. Stay safe and unmauled. Please?

Run. Get behind a door. Now.
Video
[She stares at the dark screen. Something behind her snarls, and she quickens her pace. Room. Right.]
Do you know these things?
[Where, oh where, is a door...]
Video
Video
[Not enough to get back to her room. She still has a distance to go yet. But hey, any door with no name will do, right? Jazz stiffens on her back and hisses at something behind her, and that spurs her to lunge through the next door she finds. Something lunges back, but she manages to keep the door shut.
Mostly. It keeps slamming against it, aggravating what remains of her magic deprivation injuries. She grits her teeth.]
Do they have a name, these lovely things?
Video
Hellhounds. I'm not far.
Video
[All of the dryness in the world is infused in that sentence. Of course they are. Of course they're hellhounds. What a delightful word. But beyond the obvious, she has no idea what that entails. Sometimes firmly atheist parents are a bad thing.]
And they're invisible all of the — [It slams against her door and she grits her teeth, putting her back into keeping it at bay.] — time?

Don't worry, love, I haven't seen the bears since we came here. And good thing, too. But at least I could see them...

Try not to worry too much. Some people around here know what they are and how to get around them. And have weapons that can work on them. Just stay smart, all right? If a situation gets hairy, call for help first and ask questions later.

I'd take it, if I were you. It's handy to have someone to fall back on, around here.
[Like when things like this happen.]

Jazz is with you? Keep him close. Don't let him get near them, all right?
no subject
[There's an angry growl from the cat wrapped around her like a scarf.]
Cats and dogs, that whole thing.

Do you want me to try to get to you? [Undoubtedly a challenge in this place, especially when it's playing games like this, but he'll try his damnedest.
No pun intended.]

I'm familiar. Generally they only come for souls that are already damned, so we're not called to interfere with them. But I've killed a few.
no subject
[Fortescue might be a little more jumpy about souls than the average person, given the condition and location of hers.]
