It was fortunate that if Rep was good for anything at all, it was very animal instinctual reactions. Seeing something hurled into the air, all of his instincts were to react by pursuing it. Kostya became secondary to what could technically be a valuable object. He leapt up himself and caught the baby in mid-air before landing and then realising what he had done.
It didn't like the jolt when he met the ground, spat the pacifier out in surprise and fear and started crying very loudly. Rep gave it a horrified look and held it at arm's length, already regretting his decision immensely, it was smeared with the blood that absolutely covered him.
"Wonderful." he said and his voice cracked mid-statement. "You found a baby. That's just wonderful. Really. REALLY WONDERFUL." he had to raise his voice to be heard over the crying. "ILL JUST TAKE IT AND HAND IT OFF TO THE ESCAPE TEAM."
There was a low growl in the darkness, and then a rumble that shook the tiles. Rep looked out into the darkness for a moment. "YES. I'LL DO THAT." he said, loudly. "BUT RIGHT NOW YOU WANT TO RUN PROBABLY." He pointed helpfully and then ran, carrying the crying baby in his arms as the ground began to crack underneath them both, dropping slabs of concrete into the dark below as a limb composed of twisted bodies reached up in the direction of the sound.
- You'll be glad to know it means MORE ROLLING. Not bad though because Deaths. Roll over 4 on a 1d10 to escape from the thing. Rep escapes by default BECAUSE I NEED HIM FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Kostya had never been so glad that, by being a hunter, he was automatically spared being a parent, at least in terms of expected responsibilities. He stared in not-quite-horror and not-quite-amusement as Rep caught the baby and was, promptly, horrified by it.
He surely sounded chipper-- Rep, not the baby, for the baby was loudly expressing its disapproval-- but continued to hold it as far away from him as possible.
"Farewell," Kostya offered, as his fellow Death hunter took off into the darkness. The floor was opening up into some hellish blackness, and Kostya was far from keen to stick around. He fled in a different direction, heading back towards reinforcements.
Otto stepped through the portal. What he was met with was junk, chaos...
And darkness.
His heart began to beat wildly in fear, even as his trembling hand fished out the Night Vision sunglasses artifact in his coat pocket. He slipped them on, and instantly he could see. He saw every body, every piece of a body, and every detail as if it were daylight.
He let out a shaky breath. His security blanket in the form of kick a** shades worked like a charm, once again.

[At Entrance]
Sasha had gotten the text from William right on time; that didn't mean that she made it through the portal immediately. No, she'd luxuriated in the bath, and she'd exfoliated, and she'd styled her hair. She'd buffed her nails until they were glossy, and she'd taken her time choosing her outfit and shoes for the day.
By the time she'd made it through the portal, hours had passed. Sasha did not care; she'd had other, more pressing things to deal with.
Slinking up next to Otto, Sasha walked her fingers up his spine and gave him a slow smile.
"We're rather late to the party, aren't we, Otto?"
Isaac did not have much issue with the dark; however, he did have a problem with fighting a monster in the dark - especially when he felt personally responsible for both Nellie and the little one that had joined up with them. There was the first surge of annoyance with the man who kept speaking up on the overhead system; it was nothing but an ember, but the spark was there.
He charged in and struck the infected only to trip on something - upon closer inspection it was a flashlight, and while Isaac did not know how it had gotten there, he was not about to question the small blessing.
"Here," Isaac offered Leslie, holding out the flashlight. "I hope this helps."

Otto let out a rather unmanly yelp when he'd felt thin fingers walk up his spine. He turned stiffly, his glowing blue shades showing him it was just Sasha at his side. He let out a breath, his face reddening in the dark from embarrassment.
"Some party..." He muttered under his breath. They say the cool kids always arrive late anyway, right? Fashionably late, as it were? "What the Hell happened here anyway?" He'd gotten the text. He just.... forgot if it contained details.
"I mean, I read the text and all just.... How does this kinda s**t happen? At a mall?" Malls were ******** sacred!
The yelp caused Sasha to let out a low bark of laughter. She adored his responsiveness to her, and had ever since their evening together.
"Well, William is involved. I have little doubt that this is somehow his doing." Her lips quirked in a cruel and twisted sort of smile.
"Where shall we begin, then? I suppose we can stay here and support or," her voice trailed off in a low purr before she continued, "we can go out and see what there is to see."
Grumbling curses, Taym abandoned the armful of supplies he'd been in the process of carting so that he could summon Fionnghal again and see to the more immediate threat.
Taym had fought tentacles before. This was easier. Sorta.
Felicia's scream was loud and continuous and forced Joy to cover her ears. Defenseless, the zombie made use of the distraction and caught Joy in the arm.
Too dark. Bert rasped.
"Ohs? Talaga?" Joy muttered beneath her breath. The other hunter she was with had the right idea, but didn't Harrison just warn them not to set things on fire? Admittedly, the idea of burning one of these ******** to ash had its appeal.
"Ano ba naman yan?"
Regroup.
The moon bristled at the advice. On the one hand, running away was shitty. On the other, they couldn't hit the ******** thing. "Felicia! Do we stick around or head to camp?" she asked.
"If you got a hankerin'for lurkin' in the dark? Have at it. I can keep an eye out." He said, tapping the arm of his shades lightly. "This place is givin' me the heebie jeebies, and I ain't even done nuthin' yet."
He fought off the urge to shudder. He could hear odd noises and shrieks far and faint in the distance. He'd never been to this mall. He had no idea how big it might be, or how twisted the situation was.
Honestly, he was fine for sticking around the entrence, but he was a Sun. Being safe was not his job. Sadly.
The meaning of the term that Leslie used was entirely lost upon Nellie. Not that there was time to linger around to find out if Leslie was going to bother enlightening her or what Isaac was offering to the other Mist, for she quickly moved in keep the infected busy till either of them was ready to take her place.

"Perhaps the tentacle, then," Sasha crooned, summoning Nona. The alkonost shrieked to life, the staff parting midway down the shaft to become a pair of hooked swords chained together. "I would simply hate to ruin my new shoes, and civilians are so boring."
On cue, Otto summoned Tenya; the six foot boomerang leaning over his shoulder. A clunky and cumbersome weapon to be lugging around. "I ain't a fan of zombies, for a few reasons." Mostly personal.
Oliver had thought things were bad, but the moment the lights went out he was reminded of another specific zombies-in-dark-rooms encounter…
The boy froze, panic starting to creep in as the shouts and sounds of distant battle continued around him in the darkened place. His heart was beating too fast, and his mind was screaming at him to run, to just get out of there and get somewhere safe, but somehow he managed enough thought to reach into one many coat pockets. Shaky fingers felt around the handle of a box cutter, two pens, a sheet of paper with a to-do list that had been folded several times into a tiny square… And then finally a small pocket flashlight.
Something rustled nearby, and Oliver whipped the light out in a panic. He clicked it on, and yelped loudly when he saw the giant armoured zombie lit up in it’s narrow beam.
He flung his axe level with the creature and unleashed it’s charge attack, the beam of icy cold energy lighting up the music store more dramatically than his tiny flashlight ever could. It slammed into the creature, completely exploded a display of discount CDs, and tore a hole in the wall beyond, even the recoil was enough to knock Oliver backwards onto his butt.
The boy left the flashlight where it had fallen as he scrambled to his feet, too terrified to regain his senses in the dark.
Eyes rolled at the look Lukas wore, and he told him not to pout? Whatever. The youngest hunter of the group as well-kept his weapon summoned not wanting to lose charge. Holding it at the ready just in case more of zombies decided to spring up. Knuckles turning white around the pole-arm for how long the other two were taking to corral the woman. When Gretchen finally bent to get the civilian out of the clothing, since mister touchy-feely didn't have the sac to Cain noticed it. The leg. She had a fake leg, the hunters left eye twitched with puzzlement. Apparently screening to get into Deus wasn't what he thought. Oh well, she was at least doing her job more than the guy that didn't have a handicap, good for her.
Then the lights went out and their civilian once more was giving away their position. Cain tasted blood in attempts to keep from snapping, darkness wasn't his strong point and to save on being left in it he could play mute. The light from the runes on his weapons wasn't the best but it helped keep a little vision, and he knew where Gretchen was because of hers. Hearing the question he moved slowly, "right, let's go back I think I saw a directory board near where I came in, it should have where exactly the rink is located in the mall." For a moment he moved then paused abruptly, hearing the annoying red gorilla speaking. A brief roll of eyes and he wished for light if only so Rep could also see the finger he was giving him, he hadn't touched the sample, it was called scoop and lid, big idiot.
Hearing a rustle Cain wrinkled his nose, looking back and only seeing Gretchen's glow. This wasn't going to work, he wasn't sure if the noise was a zombie or Lukas since he had no idea where he was. "Since our weapons are long I suggest either you grab a hold of the end of mine or Gretchen's Lukas, that way you don't get lost and we can all stay together." He waited for an ok, a weight to the end of his pole arm or some sort of answer before pushing them on out of the store they had entered.
