"Boy, give me that gun before you hurt someone."
Fuller held out a hand to Tweak as he was the only one around them. Just one look at the lad was enough to convince him that this youth had no reason to hold a gun. And the more he looked at him, the more he thought he recognised him.
When the pattern did come together though there was an almost audiable click, a click mimiced by the safety going off on the grenade launcher Fuller held.
Fuller took a few steps closer to Tweak and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"You're the little s**t that tried to break into my store three months ago. Give me a good reason not to see you dead."

"But I might-What the ******** reaction to being grabbed eh? He pretty much dropped the rifle in his attempts to get loose. Mainly this constituted the generic 'crazy grapple' with Fuller's wrist/hand in order to push it off. Depending on how strong Fuller was compared to him, might manage to do it, either way does not matter.
"That is so not an issue right now! Why do you even ******** remember that!?" At this point if Fuller still had not let go, Tweak would probably start kicking him in the knee or something. This little interlude in dialogue is a clever ruse, Tweak did not shut up even once.
"Zombies downstairs and your all doing this and I can help stay alive, not like I had any plans, come on man calm down and give me something to use or we're both going to die here come'on!" Very fast, potentially hard to understand, on the verge of freaking out, panic attack was probably on the way.
He was betting bank on the others helping him out when they got up here. Cause, you see, he had no idea they had gone back down to ground zero. Futile hopes and dreams of being rescued, someone was going to pay for this later. And on that matter where had the ******** radar gotten off too?

"Come on, you thought me dead. That's why you came here, you wanted the more pricy items that I've refused to sell to anyone."
Letting go of Tweak with a shove he took a step foward and kicked the sniper rifle behind him.
"Now get up. I'll figure out what to do with you after this mess is over."

Tweak managed to catch himself before going down. Unfortunately he had little to no chance of going for the rifle, so he did not bother. Instead he merely grumbled out a very tiny and quiet, "******** you, that was exactly what I wanted s**t-head." and immediately went along with the given commands.
Mostly this was due to the fact that he was eyeing up the grenade launcher in absolute terror. Did not quite dawn on him that Fuller would probably not use it close quarters like this, he just kept imagining getting blown to pieces by a grenade.
Figuring this was somewhat like being arrested by the cops, an experience he had been gifted with more then once, he pretty much took to it like that. Hands behind the head and looking straight ahead, past Fuller's head, while trying to pay full attention to the guy without looking at him. At least this way he could hunt for an opening to get away or something.

As though catching onto a thought of Tweak's Fuller mused aloud.
"I wonder where that crazy blue hair b***h got off to. She was up here a while ago and didn't go back down."
Looking at Tweak he smiled.
"Well Tweak, we're going to find her. But there's zombies about and you can't handle a rifle like that. I should have something you can use a little more easily."
Fuller may give him a gun; but he'd be damned if he give him a loaded one.
"Come on."
Moving down the hall he picked up the sniper rifle and ducked into one of the side rooms. There wasn't much Tweak could do, the deck was stacked against him and he pretty much had to go along with everyone else if he wanted to live to see another day.

This guy knew his name? s**t, had he really gone so far in hunting him down? Or maybe he had just gotten that ******** popular after all the stuff he had done. s**t, this settled it, moment he got enough to survive he was totally blowing this town. Or maybe he would burn it down, that seemed a valid idea too.
All of this was getting pondered as he followed Fuller. Made sure to stay in sight as much as possible. Had seen quite a few people shot before for being out of sight, thus assumed to be escaping. That was totally not something he wanted to risk attempting just yet, unarmed and all as he was.
"Something I can use? Sounds sweet, but can I use it to blow s**t up?" Small talk and all as he trailed along. He felt somewhat uncomfortable being quiet with a certified psychopath. "The others with me are armed. Two military types I guess, telepathic girl who looks really ******** weird, and then we have this stiff guy with a sword shoved up his a** or something." On that note, where the ******** were they?

"You'd be too likely to loose your arm if I gave you something like that. You've seen the movies though. So how about a boom stick."
Lifting up a weapon amongst those that were in the room he held it before him. It was a pump action shotgun, capable of holding six shots in an underbarrel tube. There was one case in the chamber, that was untill Fuller slammed the pump back and it was ejected to land upon the floor.
Tossing it to Tweak he grinned.
"Well then we should kick some a** now shouldn't we."

Gasping as he put his weight down on his right arm to steady himself, Brody nearly blacked out before the clawing at his feet drawing him fully back to conciousness. Trying to help Saul as much as possible, yet trying to relod so he could get the ******** off of him, Brody probably hindered as much as he helped. Finaly getting the gun reloaded as Gabe shot the face off one of the zombies, he unloaded the whole clip into the other zombies body, starting at the head and working lead thoroughly into its chest.

The first pair fell as they were punctured with numerous rounds to the head and chest. Falling limp as three more pushed up from behind them. Packed into the staircase, they seemed to be fighting for space on the stairs alone, fumbling around each other.
Spattered with gore from the first two sacks of flesh, Saul whipped his rifle back around to an idle position while his left hand pulled a grenade free of his belt. Using both hands to remove the pin, press the handle, and underhand it down the stairs into the waiting crowd. A very professional arch over their heads and landing somewhere near the base of the stairs.
A single frag grenade wouldn't do anything to stop them, but it'd scatter the ones further back for sure. No effect on the stairs though. For this, Saul removed an entire pouch from his blet and shook the contents speedily onto the top step. Releasing five 40mm HE grenades, a few rolling down a step or two, passing Brody as he hauled his a** to safety. If you could call it that.
Trying to get as far away from the things as possible, Saul tried to drag Brody a little faster. By now he was atleast off of the first flight of stairs, and onto the landing which curved to the second flight. Trying to awkwardly help from Brody's side, crouching, with both arms trying to push him forward. Hopefully someone was offering cover fire.
The next three were quick up the steps, looking for something living.

The thrust came first, starting just when the target came within reach, not sooner so as to prevent the blade not finding its mark. "Hrrrr-" And with surprising speed from one of these zombie things, it clutched the thrusting blade in one hand, pulling it off to one side and past it as Kalis' charge continued to bring him right up to it. Digging the leading right heel in, he twisted released with the left hand and twisted, the claws bunched together skimming his stomach and tearing up the shirt over it, tossing a little pinch of red into the air off of them, rather than sinking in. As the hand drew back, the zombie leaning in to push a charge back at it's suddenly stopped prey, it's hand suddenly stopped drawing back- a thick gauntleted one clasped around it. The right hand twisted, decimating the hand on the blade, and dropped the too-long-for-grappling sword- and Kalis headbutted the zombie. -krack!- The creature and Kalis both reeled a moment from the clacking skulls, but the only real response of the creature was to lunge with the other hand. Likewise grabbing it in an armored hand as claws just began to peirce flesh, he pulled it back, pulling the things arms up to it's head level, where his grips would hold them awkwardly crossed. And he slammed in his heels, shoulder, pounding it's stomach, running it to the side of the building as the long legged creature fought to gain an advantage of footing on him, digging bestial feet in by the buildings edge. Pushing. Pushing. And apart. Flinging it's hands back at it with an exertion, Kalis put them both off balance, struggling to stand upright still. And as he let himself fall over, one armored boot came up, crunching loudly as it struck zombie-face, and sent the creature rolling out beyond arms reach, over the edge. And a short moment later, there would be a collection of less audable, overlapping cracks. Kalis bent to pick up his sword, turing the claymore around and sheathing it slowly as he walked back toward Owle, stopping at a casual conversation range to pat dust off his back from falling over on the roof. "I'd imagine you'd get more than a few crazies who decide the risk is worth it- considering you're literally giving everything away." he chuckled, and winked, pulling at the scarf until it loosened to uncover his mouth. That just seemed rude in conversation, and it's not like a minute without would turn him zombie suddenly. Did breathing the stuff even turn you into one of the lurkers? He should have asked someone more knowledgable than standard border soldiers.

Saul was up to the landing, which was good enough for Gabe as he continued laying down cover fire. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get a clean shot at the three nearest ones what with the proximity of Saul to his gun and all. Once he expended the clip, he fell back to the safety of the corner, expelled the empty magazine and slammed a new one into place. The grenades were let out, Saul was going up the next staircase, and Gabe spun around the corner once again.
"Shi-!"
He wasn't halfway prepared to see the three creatures tearing up the staircase, let alone the two that were practically in his face. He squeezed the trigger, a wild burst of rounds pinging off the arm of the first one, completely bypassing the second and somehow sinking right into the skull of the third, which dropped like a sack of bricks on the staircase, stopping a few grenades as they rolled, leaving them stranded about halfway up the staircase.
The first of the two attackers was quick to react to Gabe's misfire, moving a clawed hand up to press against his chest while his partner moved in for what would probably be the killing blow. A benefit of having a central mind, no doubt. With his back pressed firmly to the wall, Gabriel second-guessed his decision to help Saul for all of a half second before he lifted his right leg and lashed out with a fierce straight kick that would carry enough force to crack a rib or two. Whatever the thing was, it didn't act like it as it bounced off the adjacent wall and stumbled back towards Gabe's original position.
Fortunately, Gabriel was already hauling a** out of there, practically crawling up the steps to avoid springing a trap, all the while with his rifle slung over his shoulder.

"Yeah, well...I kinda came here on a whim, you know?" Owle said, shrugging. A closer look would tell she was hiding something; she didn't want to admit there was a god mucking around with her.
"Though I did see one of the guys who stopped into the Firebrand the other day...he's still passed out on the border, beyond the wall, as far as I know. Guy took a hole through his lung and kept on living, crazy stuff." Shaking her head, she finally brought her eyes up to meet Kalis. "So, what about you? Trying to save the world before breakfast?"

"I'd settle for around brunch-time." Kalis noticed something- but he wasn't one of those types who always new what you were thinking or somehow pulled the perfect words from no where and inserted them into the conversation as if through benefit of divine revelation. He was... what was he again?
Oh, yeah. Human.
"That IS crazy stuff..." chuckled the guy who had just hopped roofs on a motorcycle in order to headbutt a zombie. "So, I guess it looks like you're alright." he nodded, satisfied. "But what's with all the hullabaloo downstairs?" the cheer fading in near entirity quite suddenly. Gun fight meant zombies, and people still alive among them, or else just crazy-a** people shooting at each other. But he couldn't offer much in a gunfight, armed with a sword, one shotgun he'd never used before, and the ability to temporarily discard common sense.

Seeing the HE's roll into the crowd, Brody suddenly found himself a lot more mobile. Gritting his teeth, he lets his right side just sort of hang on Saul as he pushes hard with his left, making it seem almost like a three-legged race.

Downstairs? Oh, right!
"Yeah, well...I came here with a bunch of people. They're down there. With zombies."
This all came out kind of in a rush as Owle suddenly realized the urgency of the situation. "It didn't look too good...maybe you could help? I'm no good at...well, things like that..."
She was afraid to use her telepathy on a collective, and going toe to toe with a zombie as Kalis had just done was pretty much sentencing herself to death, but that didn't stop her from feeling guilty for doing nothing.
