[Something dark and sinuous streaks across the sky, dissolving into grains of sand as it goes, and one odd thin fellow is falling out of the sky, having lost his ride. Yelling all the way down, he slams facefirst into a snowdrift, and recovers far too quickly. He's tall, he's grey, he's wearing a black cloak like a second skin, he has no damn eyebrows, and he should have had a few broken bones from that, not just a bit of a stagger. He's pointing at the sky and screaming to no one:]
Get back here right this instant or when I get my hands on you--
[Oh. Plane crash. It's his lucky night. Theirs, not so much, but what's an intangible Boogeyman to do? Can't drag victims out of the fire when you can't touch them, can you? No one will even know he's here.]
[He steps into the shadows, only to reappear on top of one of the few hunks of metal not on fire. Curious, there isn't quite as much fear in the air as he expected... and no sirens in the distance. Is no one coming to help?]
