"Yeah well--I didn't mean literally." He started to dust himself off; taking note of any new cuts and scrapes he acquired during his little collision with the creature and the pavement afterwards. Though he did give the doctor a sarcastic response. "Gee thanks, Doc! I'll be sure to remember that next time I get into a fight." He muttered, picking out bits of pavement that embedded itself into his skin.
He stopped momentarily to give Alex a flat look. "Did you miss the part where I said I was running for my life? Sorry, I didn't have time to check street names." He now fixed the man with a smug look, before smiling sweetly at Brie. "You do realize that you have a rather large cling on, do you not?" The man did seem to have the incurable need to attach himself to others.

Her cheeks puffed a little when Alex wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head, while she watched Sho move to inspect the undying that remained down.
Amused, Brie, folded her arms over her chest. "So how long were you running for, anyways?" After all, his faction was searching a ways away from where they were she believed. Unless they spanned out more, Rook must have been booking it for a while.
"Anything you find useful?" She asked Sho, gaze shifting from Rook back to the doctor.

Sho sighed. The body was already dissipating, leaving him with little evidence. "Whatever these things are.. maybe they were birthed from our fellow humans?" He shrugged, that was merely a guess from the population around them "But whatever this is now.. isn't even remotely human."

"Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." Alex whined as he looked over at the doctor and the body that dissipated. Without anything to bring home, Dr. Sho would probably start practicing on him or Brie!!!
To Rook, he made a tilt of his head and then grinned. "Brie is my very best friend! Besides October and Shopoo, but Sho won't admit it or anything. Also I am not kling on. I am large attachment she can utilize if she wants!" He waved his hands, "small details." .

The fact that the body dissipated after defeat didn't surprise him any more, though.. "Well there is rumor of the virus spreading. Something about thorns?" He didn't know. Science and supernatural was something outside his element. Endurance on the other hand wasn't. Speaking of which. "A while." He admitted when Brie asked. "See, one wasn't a problem, but every time I lost one, I kind of attracted another and so..." He shrugged.
He had barely any chance to scavenge anything in the area either, but he did have one thing now. "I found a potato?" He offered and raised the small vegetable up for the others to see.
Alex's whine was thankfully dulled considerable, thanks to the damage to his ears, but just as annoying. "Your best friend, or only friend?"

"Not gong to argue there." Sho actually agreed with Rook this time. He didn't consider himself Alex's friend.
Probably for his own safety though. Calling Alex a friend in relation to Sho.. didn't bode well. The male wasn't wrong in that Sho would be tempted to dissect a human being just to take his frustrations out on. And Alex being in the convenient proximity...
"Anyways, I assume we're all faring a little better than yesterday?" If all Brie and Rook were suffering were hearing ailments, it would decrease given time. And the ideal treatment for Alex was not to move at all, but really, that wasn't an option. And the cause of it all.. Sho let his gaze fall in the direction of their hide out. "The bandits sure treated us pretty badly, considering we're doing the work for them by taking care of the monsters we come across."

Hopefully the doctor was right in these things not being human. She would hate to come across a familiar face that had mutated into one of these things.
She definitely believed it when he said he attracted more undying as he ran. He was rather loud compared to others, probably so even if he wasn't hard of hearing at the moment. Swaying a little under Alex's arms, the girl pointed at the potato in his grasp. "Ah! I found one--wait, what does that matter?" So the undying had a bunch of potatoes with it. Big whoop.
"Heh." The jab at Alex only made Brie snicker. "As opposed to you, who has no friends." That was more of a response to the radio conversation the other night.
With Sho's question, she nodded. "Nothing too bad. No giant eyes for one. I call that a win." Though, if she knew the doctor any better, he might have found that fascinating.

Alex made all the faces, but he was thankful for Brie's encouragement.
"We saw a huge eye." Alex whispered, "I thought I was in mordor or something. with a ring that might actually be valuable."
Cecil had been doing some exploring when he stumbled upon a familiar face in the distance, raising his hand and waving to hopefully get his attention that way. He didn't want to yell, it didn't seem safe enough. When he was finally close enough he spoke softly like each word could bring danger. "Hey, Rook. You doing okay out here?"
His gaze shifted to those with him, smiling softly. "Hi..uhh...sorry if I was interrupting. I'm cecil."

"Another person?" Sho let his gaze drop behind him, taking a glance at Cecil. "Nowadays, there's very little business to interrupt." It was his way of telling the other he didn't mind their intrusion-- standing up and offering him a smile since there was no longer a body to examine. Disappointing really, quite disappointing.
What Brie and Alex hinted towards though held more interest than the newcomer for the fanatic doctor. They hadn't mentioned it earlier? "Oh~ I didn't hear that? Tell me more about it? Where? When? How big was it?"
"It might yield some more light on the situation." And satisfy the doctor's curiosity.
Brie notably gawked when she saw just how big Cecil was in comparison to all of them. Apparently, the university faction had giants on their team. "Uh.." Was all she managed to get out, looking back and forth between both Cecil and Rook. What in the world did they feed their students? Miracle grow? "No, no you're fine. Nothing interrupted. But wait.. we heard your voice on the radio, right?"
Turning, as much as she could with Alex still attached to her, she shifted her attention to the doctor. "Right, we didn't say anything, did we?" Where was she to start.. "We were checking out the supply store, and everything went pitch black. There was this huge red eye staring straight at us. I have no idea what it was, but after it appeared, everything in the building began to shake violently." The mere thought was enough to cause a shiver run up her spine. Luckily though, they hadn't seen it again since.

"You guys have radios?" Alex looked actually hurt that Dr. Sho nor Brie shared with him, but he didn't really let go of the girl.
"Yeah! Like I said! Walking through Mordor. It was huge, bigger then the windows. The whole room shook like a earthquake." Alex's hands came out and started shaking, most likely shaking the girl he was attached too.
To the newcomer, his gaze went up and up and up and he was throughly impressed.
"Not really." He felt about the same as he had during their last encounter. For one thing his hearing hadn't improved at all. "Though I for one am just happy they stopped shooting at us. They could have killed us, if they really wanted. At least this way we have a fighting chance."
Brie's assumption was met with a somewhat smug look. "I do have friends." And they aren't cling-ons and creepy doctors, either. Was what he wanted to add.
At the mention of the eye, Rook remained silent, only speaking again at the approach of one of the friends he had spoken of. "Hey, Ce." Rook greeted him by poking him in the side. "I'm--" He paused to think about it, and made a so-so motion of his hand. "--okay, I guess." Though when the doctor pried further into the whole eye issue, he visibly shuddered again. "Yeah I saw that too. I'm guessing from the lack of mention, you missed the part where to became teeth and shadowy limbs?" He shuddered again at the memory, before quietly adding. "I thought I was going to be smothered and ripped apart."

"Y-yeah, you might have heard me on the radio." Cecil nodded.
His eyes drifted to Sho though he quickly found himself right in the middle of a conversation that made no sense. Huge red eye? With teeth? And limbs???
"I haven't...seen anything like that." Cecil shook his head. "Where did you see it?"

"An eye that became a shadowy teeth and limbs.." Nothing that resembled vaguely a human, Sho went on to further hypothesize: "It wouldn't be strange to conclude that there seems to be a higher power indeed that is somehow associated with the undead. Moreover, its oppressive aura and the dangerous factors.." What was its intention then if it hadn't killed them on the spot? It was clearly capable of doing so. Was it just to hint at its existence? Taunt them? If such a being were capable of the same human emotions of malice, fear, etc.. It certainly was ill-spirited. Sho's lips curved into an ironic smile at the thought.
Part of him noticed Alex shaking Brie, which probably wasn't helping his injury- but Sho figured that Brie would stop him if she needed to.
Different sightings, in different areas, with people who had seen it and people who hadn't seen it. Was there a rhyme or reason to their patterns? Or was it those unfortunate enough to come across it? "This warrants further information, and research. If only we could do something about it.." The apartment faction didn't have anything appropriate. He didn't know if the other factions did, but visiting their faction was out of the question unfortunately.
"Let me know if you guys hear anything more about it." He directed to the whole party. But try doing it without running into a monster, because I'd hate it if you were injured enough to the point where you couldn't talk." And be useful was the unsaid, continuing words. That Cecil, with his huge frame, didn't look as if he would take too much damage if that happened.. but next time, Rook might not get off so lightly if the monster had been stronger.
