The torch-bearer seemed to be responsible for multiple people and Ruth was glad she wasn't the sole focus of anyone's attention. She tried to keep out of the other apprentice-knight's way as he tried his best to reinforce the door.
The animal's neigh came as a surprise and Ruth had to cover her mouth to stifle the laugh. She shook her head in amusement as she silently sidled over towards the barricade. Unfortunately, the torch, while useful in giving a general idea of what was there, failed to provide clearer illumination of details.
Such as a stray fragment of furniture that got underfoot.
The blonde flung her arms forward, trying to grab onto anything that could possibly steady her, or at the very least keep her face from greeting the floor. What she grabbed had a decent amount of give but overall firm to the touch.
In the dim torchlight, Ruth noted that a rather delightful derriere was on display. It took her a moment to blink. Another to have her fingers squeeze. And another to realize just what it was she had latched onto for support.

He needed to find something less alive to stack onto the door. Preferably not another horse, that would be the ideal result. While looking around, Ignatius suddenly became acutely aware that there was something on his behind.
Carefully, he glanced over his shoulder, attempting to get a view of what was on him, just in time to feel a nice squeeze.
Well then.
There was a snort of laughter that escaped his lips, even in this situation. "Like it?" Ignatius asked, brow quirking, appreciating the few seconds to not think about how much trouble they were actually in. It still rung at the back of his mind, though, that he needed to try to blockade the door...
Thankfully, instead of making a grab at someone else's bum, Ignatius managed to scoop up a chair. Perfect! Unceremoniously, Ignatius chucked it into a hole in the pile.

Ruth retrieved her hands with the level of alacrity she normally displayed in situations where one's chastity and purity was threatened. But she rarely if ever got herself into one such situation. Which meant that she wasn't particularly quick about it, even as she pressed her arms firmly by her sides.
She gave the man an imperious glare for his cheek(s), but as her eyes were obscured behind her bangs and the obvious lack of light it didn't really do much. So she responded in a deep, rolling baritone "I've no point of comparison."
And to hide her embarrassment, Ruth scrounged around until she found something that could actually be of use to the barricade.

"No point of comparison? Oh, that just means mine shall be what you compare all to!" Ignatius nearly cackled at this observation, an almost absurdly cheerful response in the face of what was happening all around them. "I assure you you'll find none better."
With a near s**t-eating grin on his face, Ignatius again looked around for something to barricade the door with... And promptly found another chair.
"Is there a table near here?" asked Ignatius, absent-mindedly, as he picked up the chair and looked for a hole to shove it into. Well, that area didn't look very sound. There would work... Ignatius shoved the chair under another stacked chair to give the structure more stability.

Outraged by the knight-apprentice's audacity, Ruth forgot all about trying to barricade the door or fortifying their defenses. Her purity was being compromised! And so she wound her arm back, but then the man turned. It meant her initial target was out of reach and she was now presented with a different cheek. Ruth swung her arm and there was a satisfying smack of flesh against clothed flesh.

With a small laugh and a smile the youth nodded. "Thanks! Good luck helping around here!!!" with the well wish the young male was off. Only stumble back as something smacked him. He turned to the person who did so...blinking he opened his mouth to say something...all that came out was. The sound of a horse trotting past. He turned to grab it outta reflex and the beast simply galloped off. Koray stood there.

Zar arrived into a scene of utter chaos, people trying to bar the doors and defend their keep. He was not a particularly combative person and the whole thing scared the hell out of him, as a result he didn't charge bravely to help the others, instead he sought out a light source, so that if and possibly when things hit the fan he might be able to effect some sort of escape.

Just as he got the chair wedged right where it belonged, Ignatius found himself jumping from quite the smack. That would leave a mark, probably. Though he was wearing some armour...
Ignatius laughed. "Hey now! You're just proving my point here! You do keep grabbing at it!"
Victorious and almost smug about it, Ignatius turned to grab at the table that was obviously nearby considering he had just grabbed two different chairs, and instead somehow backhanded a man with long hair that seemed to be trying to trying to stay back.
Oops.
"This torchlight's kinda dim..." said Ignatius, which was something of a distracted apology.

Ruth tried to shake some life into her hand as she scowled at the man, that armor had hurt. Her face was red with indignation. She couldn't even insult him because his backside was quite the sight and very firm. She busied herself in being useful, or at least to find something else to occupy her hands with.
In the end, she found some old training equipment and while the temptation to take a swing at him was strong, Ruth reminded herself she was his moral superior. Imagine, acting so so casual about having one's behind touched not once but twice!
The accidental strike the Delight Derriere on Display made against a refined looking man had Ruth skirting around them. She jabbed her contributions into the pile and remarked in a voice that sounded more appropriate coming from a six-foot tall Great Knight "Time to turn the other cheek."

With the kindness of a torch-bearer's light, Joy set about trying to help with the fortification. Trying being the operative word because there was a group of individuals in the way of her search and their limbs were swinging this way and that as they piled onto the barricade.
"Whoa there," Joy said, a hand shooting out to grab a shoulder and smirking, "You really should get someone to watch your back." And with that she turned away to see if she could find something else to add to the pile.

The sky was dark. Always had been bit something in his mind humbled back and forth from suddenly seeing a bright day to always knowing it was dark. It had been bright though, years ago. He remembered laying on his mother'so lap as she shared an apple with him, using a knife to cut off small pieces. She jerked and he watched as blood dribbled down her palm. He remembered the panic and fascination, wanting to state and see how much came from a person and yet wanting to preserve her life.
Now there was so much blood now and he knew blood wasn't just life. The sunny days were gone with that past naivety.
He rushed as commanded up with the others, looking about doe anything he could use for light. He managed an old banner post and a scrap cloth from some tabard.
But as he tried, he had no light.

OLLIE IS SECURING THE DOOR OLLIE HAS A TORCH.
This was starting to get repetitive in a way that made his head spin a bit, his skin too tight. Ollie drew in a breath, shifting the torch in his grasp and looking around the room. Somehow, he'd ended up in just a pile of hay bales, and there was nothing useful within the glow of his fire to take and barricade the door with.
There was also, it seemed, no one nearby enough to see what he was doing and complain about the choices he made.
After a moment, he eased two more steps out of the way and dropped down to sit on one of the bales for a moment, looking the torch over, fixing it here and there, and just catching his breath: out of the way, for the time being.

The sky had darkened, and Noah stared at it uncomprehending for long moments, until the knowledge came darting in that it had always been dark -- that didn't make sense, part of his mind protested curiously, but the rest of him was busy being startled by the sudden fall of shadow, the darkness that suddenly cloaked everything. A shrieking wail, a distant light, and without quite knowing how he'd made it there other than that there'd been running involved, Noah found himself looking over the edge of the ramparts at the hordes below.
There was no use staring at the doom that awaited them if they couldn't fight it back somehow, he told himself, and swallowed down the icy feeling in his stomach, and cast about for a torch. A few sticks, and a discarded rag that had maybe once been a cloak, but he couldn't get it to catch, and he grumbled and looked around for someone who'd done better than he had.
There was a tall person with an eyepatch nearby, holding a lit torch, and Noah hurried over, holding his up. "Can I, um, borrow some fire?" he asked, and then felt kind of stupid, because that had sounded pretty dumb.
