Jude picked up Maebe and tried to make a run for it in the darkness. The opposite way where he'd earlier seen the eyes when the flashlight was on.
Running in the darkness was almost never a smart idea. He immediately tripped, dropping Maebe, who went sprawling a little further, right into a mass of the infected.
There was a discarded, still lit flashlight next to them, lighting up just enough to reveal how surrounded they were, but also revealed an opening. It was just enough for him to escape, without Maebe. If he stayed, they would both be attacked.
OOC
If you decide to stay, continuously roll dice to fend off the hordes of zombies. Basically, every single RP you do from this point onwards with Maebe has to include an attack roll to fend off the zombies. If any of the attacks MISS, you become infected @ either of you

INFECTED - Early Stage
He tried to laugh through the pain when she called him dumb, but it hurt too much to laugh. The pain spread through his arm and he found he couldn't even move it. It was useless for the time being.
When she rushed from his side though he tried to grab her to keep her from leaving but she was too quick. And he was too sluggish in the darkness with only one useful arm. "No!"
But as soon as she was gone she had returned, but something was off. "Get up we have to move." Rolling over, Zascha stumbled to his feet with a grunt. His flashlight was long gone. He would have yanked her to her feet with his good arm but it was holding his other one together. Barely able to make out anything in this slick he began to stumble about, reaching his arm out to swipe at empty air.
The light was blinding for a split second when Mimsy found the light, and flicked it on. He kept a hold of her hand as she searched, but as soon as she found it and the light flooded the space directly ahead of us, Robert shielded his eyes with both her and his hand. He blinked, and then focused on the sight that fate had just handed to them.
"Holy s**t, Shu!" Robert looked utterly overjoyed at their luck.
And what luck it was.

Ami yelped as a sharp bludgeon made contact with the back of her head. It was dark.

When she came to, the room spun. She felt ropes, but all that escaped her mouth was a blearly dribble akin to words. "Lex," she groaned, but she knew it was too late."
Ropes pulled at her skin, despite her feeble attempts to move. She could see Dakota, other figures. "Why is it always you?" she said with a light grin.

Warily, she approached.
"I'm good," came the reply, "I'm fine. I found an exit. Down here."
There was a steady ten foot drop underneath her.

Infected - Second stage neutral
No response.
Shu's expression changed, a slight modification that only her closest one would know. The petite girl braced up, hissed before she clutched one hand on the flashlight, switched it on while another hand holding the big hammer. The lights flashed here and there, like the lasers that will excite cats and dogs, swiftly slid around.
As she moved quietly, occasional with sound of coughing, at a moment, everything started to change. Colors instead of clear lines, her vision was taken, like a person with severe short-sighted problem. It was scared for the sudden desire to devour, and the color blobs slowly turned into something she liked - desserts.
Strawberry shortcakes, chocolate forest, colorful candies and such, they made her drooled. The goal of finding Mark was fading, the belief to have vaccine wavered.
Shu CAN attack anyone but right now her bites do not carry an infection yet. She can also attack with her weapon, doing whatever damage she rolls in melee damage to another person.
The world flipped, but in the dark it all looked the same. She hit the floor hard, on a bad angle, and her body tumbled against the feet of several shambling corpses. She was wrong about one thing, at least. She wasn't going to die in the dark.
Teeth were on her skin before she'd had a moment to react, so all she could do was scream in that moment and kick its head away while scuffling herself back towards Jude. Adrenaline rushed through her system as she stared down at the zombies, and summoned her weapon.
"This is why I NEVER GO ON MISSIONS."
She hadn't realized she'd been bitten, behind her upper arm. The blood dripped into her shirt, seeping through the clothing, but she had no idea. She knew they were screwed; she just had no idea how much.

Tuck paused and glanced around.
It was far too dim to properly discern his position, and he had simply fallen out of the frying pan, so to say.
Immediately one of the infected lunged towards him, gouging claw-like hands right into his shoulder. It stung immensely. They continued to bury their fingers into him, not letting go.
OOC
Tuck has to fight the last of these guys! They have 10 HP. If he does it without missing, he escapes scot free, if he misses while taking out the 10 HP, he becomes INFECTED.

asdglkjagsdljaglkasdgklasdgklaglkj NORA NOOOOOOO! "Noemi! Noemi-- Ah ah! Nora-- Miss Nora is in trouble! She's over here!" There was a lot of hand flailing and bumping into people around her, but Abbi was all too prepared to be The Big Damn Hero and save her cute Brit Friend. So maybe Noemi sounded like she needed some serious support, and Abbi had chosen to be that support character both because of her inclination to healing and because she always preferred the peppy girl characters and those never got to be the main character in games, but for now she had to take a momentary detour. Had things been different, she would have scooted to Noemi's side in a flash because red heads had to stick together, but there were more pressing matters for the moment. "Stand as sentinel, Noemi! I'll be there in a sec with Nora, okies!"
Sure to get both her hands up in a defense sort of curled fist position (even though Viveca was practically screaming at the ginger to be summoned), Abbi moved carefully toward the direction of the voice she assumed to be Nora's. "M-m-marco? Um ok um uh... M-M-M-Maaasss?" Hopefully the woman would understand this was the worst attempt at Marco Polo with an edited script. After all, Nora's Twitter name was a great reference to the game so she would get Abbi's edited reference! ...Right?

They'd made it out? They'd made it out! Lex gasped with a bit of a cheer mixed in, somehow smiling that he'd survived. Zombie moves never had survivors.
Then he began worrying, pacing. Would Stormy make it out? Evan? What about Mark and Molly and Dakota and all the people he barely knew? Ripley? Chelsea? Acquaintances, surely, but still Hunters. Still a team. He shot a look to Ami, worry obvious on his face. "Should we try to find a portal home?"

Clones, Thane murmured as a reminder. Do not trust. And she didn't.
But everyone was gone. All that was left were three wandering little moths under her skin. She tried to think of it clinically, like Gale would: if they weren't here, maybe they were down below. The things had to come from somewhere.
Or she could just be dropping straight into a pit of death. What a scolding she'd get if she was wrong.
But until she had every piece of evidence saying they were gone, she would fight to get them back. Even if one of them would probably knock her out cold on sight, or worse.
Nodding, Stormy took the plunge.

There was a brief click and a beam of light arced diagonally from floor to ceiling as he pointed the light at Jack and anyone else near him
"Wow," said his voice back. It was him. The ---- one. "Is this what you're doing now? Should have let me come back. You're just a nobody."
Tuck had no idea where he was, but the sounds around him were hellishly close. He startled slightly when one leapt at him, swung his weapon - but it did little good. The creature sank its teeth into his shoulder, his chest, and he was finally able to break away.
He pressed his hand to his neck. Blood. He'd been bitten.
Tuck wasn't real sure that s**t could get much worse. He wasn't filled with dread. He wasn't filled with sadness. It wasn't physical pain that crippled him then as he sank to his knees. It was deeper than that. Tuck gave a low laugh of disbelief.
They'd ******** left him.
Keeping everyone in the loooop.

Biting her lip, Sherry slipped over the edge., into the hole.
The drop was extremely steep, and one of her ankles immediately folded as she fell, causing her to stumble forward -
- Right in front of a pit of infected. There was still the glow of someone else's flashlight that had attracted them, and they slowly, at the sight of Sherry, began to move towards her.
OOC
Sherry has a sprained ankle, but she can try her best to escape/ take them down. If she tries to escape, roll 1d6. If even she escapes, if odd, she is dragged down.
If she tries to attack, they have a pool 20 HP. As long as she doesn't miss she is not bitten. However, if she even misses once, she becomes infected.

It was no use. Nellie gave up trying to reach the other trainee then got up to point her flashlight towards where she thought she heard both Harlow and Zascha last.
