Having a hug discouraged by Robert was a difficult sort of feeling, and Mimsy had a similarly difficult time letting Shu go. A look of deep hurt was directed towards him, followed by a noise of discomfort and a long sigh. Her fingers lingered on her shoulder before finally slipping away, and she clenched her teeth as she made an effort to stop and think clearly.

She couldn't break a promise to Shu, and she certainly couldn't break one to ALICE.

"Mark?" she called out, one hand cupped around her mouth. "Shu requires your immediate assistance, Mark - I will pay you, Mark. Where are you?"

Infected - Early Stage

Humoring Jude was her specialty! Thaw went stabbity stab right into the head of a zombie, and she cackled with delight at her aim, before the cackle died in disgust as she pulled it out.

"Okay. As long as we're eventually getting out of here. I guess I can handle a little fighting."

She felt sick to her stomach. The gore, the blood, the absolute mayhem coupled with the horror of darkness from earlier had taken it's toll, and her eyes unfocused with dizziness. "If I pass out, make sure they don't eat me. I'm too pretty to die."

INFECTED - Second Stage

Something was stirring.

His arm was burning as if it had been lit on fire. Zascha still couldn't move his fingers but that didn't really matter much anymore. His mind was blurry. Any thought he tried to settle on flitted away like a frightened little bird. The trainee couldn't concentrate, couldn't focus.

Except on the burning hunger that began to rise up within him.

Wrapping an arm around his stomach he doubled over, vomiting blood from his mouth. And soon enough he was upright again. But it wasn't Harlow who caught his attention. Nellie had called out and his head snapped towards her, his face pale. Without a bat of an eyelash she raced towards her, his working hand grasping at her clothes. Trying to get a hold of her. "It hurts I'm so...hungry...."

Zascha has reached the second stage of infection! He can no longer tell friend from foe and he is very hungry. He attacks indiscriminately anyone who comes nearby, though his bites/ attacks thankfully do not carry an infection!

"We just need to bring enough of them down," He replied as if it was really that easy. To himself he cursed his own stubbornness even as he sliced through another creature hoping this wouldn't turn out badly.

It probably would. It always did.

At her request he glanced over at her, "I'll carry your corpse as far as I can, but if I get mowed down in the process I can't promise a thing. Just save me a spot wherever it is we're going when we die."

Jump down?
Waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute. So maybe Abbi hadn't gotten a really good look at the waiting room since she had been busy eyeballing her gaze between Mama Nora and Foul Mouthed Leslie, but she had been pretty darn certain there hadn't been anything that required jumping down. It was entirely possible she had been totally wrong, but since the teen prided herself on her silent observation skills, she was a little unsure of the voice calling to her.
"Why would I jump? Can't you crawl up?" And what an idea!

"Heeeeeeey! Look, I'll lower the end of Viveca, she's my weapon B-T-W, and she's got this long awesome pole thing... I'll lower her down and you grab on the end and pull yourself up! Noemi's got a flashlight and I think she'd found an exit, Okie-dokie?" A flash of a purple mixed with pink flame blurred in the girl's hand as she summoned her weapon, who gave her an equal amount of scolding and thanks, before she turned it. Though it felt odd to hold the very tippy-top of the pole rather than farther down, Abbi nudged a toe toward the edge of whatever thing Nora had encouraged her to jump into. Once the rim was found, the girl stuck the pole down in what she hoped was a helpful direction. It was difficult to gauge when it was so dark.
"Bonus trivia round! Who were the two romance options added to Mass Effect 2 that were absent as options, but yanno, not as characters in the original game?" Couldn't hurt to ask and be extra cautious, right?

In the midst of the chaos in ROOM A, a figure begins to move slowly, separate from everything else, strange and unusual. They are covered in long red drapes. Wherever they reach, they begin to crumble, merely an overlaid illusion rather than an actual person. Decaying bodies appear at their feet, and then disappear again, slowly.

They pause, just long enough, to stare right at-

- There is a loud whirr and immediately the lights turn on.

Immediately the buzzing receded as well, and immediately it was apparent how many infected there were in the room, and the numbers were surprisingly small compared to how much it had felt like. It seemed like the tables had turned quite considerably. Immediately all remaining Hunter teams began to rush in, dealing with the injured. There was talk of neutralizing the infected with their temporary vaccine. Everything seemed like it was going to be okay.


OOC

OFFICIAL PART 2: THE CLEANUP

It seems the lights turning off briefly, just in a span of 30 minutes, had created mass chaos. If your character did not participate during the lights off phase that is okay, you can rp them however you wish during those 30 minutes, perhaps just blindly trying to find what to do while everything was pitch dark.

When you're happy with that post, phase 2, the CLEANUP phase will initiate. It is now, with the lights on, your Hunters responsibility to contain and neutralize the infected parties. Most of the infected are Hunters. If your character is not in a SPECIAL SCENARIO ie: (see list below), they can go ahead and start neutralizing the infected.

gaia_crown THE INFECTED PRISONERS IN THE ROOM HAVE A POOL HP OF 100. Simply attack, as per usual dice, and update the boss's HP in your OOC quote below, so the next person knows how to attack. Attacks are unlimited, but you take -5 auto damage per turn. If you somehow roll snake eyes ie: 1, 1, you become infected too. Once the HP has reached 0, the room is clear/ and the pool of infected knocked out save the Hunters that were bitten this round

gaia_crown [ Infected Hunters (PC HUNTERS ) will also need to be KO'ed. They have 20 HP. Everyone who has been infected, please post at the top of your post in bold green that you are infected and your total HP value. You have reached a frenzy state where nothing is recognizable and you attack indiscriminately. If you bite someone else, they also turn into that state. You can only infect people who's fear shield has reached less than 50% at this point, otherwise you just do regular damage to them using your regular attack dice. You have 20 HP, once it hits 0, then you are knocked out. Please note, if you attack someone, please wait for them to respond before attacking someone else and/or wait till 2 hours have passed. Once you have been KO'ed the NPC Hunters administer the temporary antivirus, something about how being too active makes it not work and how this is really a precious waste in resources. You wake up feeling okay right afterwards, though where you were bitten is a strange butterfly shaped marking, dark red in colour.

gaia_crown [ SPECIAL SCENARIO: Some characters are entirely not in the room at all. If you are unsure where your character is, feel free to QUOTE ZOOBEY and I will let you know!

B1 FLOOR: If your character jumped "into the ravine/hole in the floor" (Sherry, Stormy) then you are in the B1 floor. Now that there is lighting they can simply crawl out.

2nd FLOOR: If your character is chained (Ami, Dakota)/ if you were AT A MEAT GRINDER (Tuck) you are on the 2nd floor. Now that there is like, all the infected seem to have receded. If you are in chains you may free yourselves by rolling 1d4 and head back down the stairs. All voices being spoken on the 2nd floor belonged to people who did not exist at all.

HALLWAY: If your character wandered towards the hallway (including Lex), there is nobody else there except yourself. You can wander back to the main room to help out.

BEING DRAGGED/ CARRIED/ WHISPERED TO: As you look around, you realize you were talking to nobody. Whatever was carrying you seems to have disappeared too, leaving you in a permanent state of disorientation.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOB: (Maebe, Jude): You are still in the middle of a mob. However, escape is pretty easy this time, though you might wanna deal with that infection problem...

RIPLEY: You are still hallucinating. Someone will have to probably neutralize you. You have 20 HP.

exclaim THE NEXT POST WILL BE IN 48 HOURS SO FEEL FREE TO PLAY IT OUT exclaim

Floor B1

"Nearly?" Sherry asked, a little breathless. Then she gave a small laugh. "Better than a fully broken one." Said the girl with the sprained ankle.

She couldn't help but sigh with relief as the last of the mob fell under Stormy's attack. They'd done well, they had.

In the dim light, she saw Stormy wince. Sherry almost asked, but Stormy had a question first. "I don't know. I thought he was down here, but he's clearly not. I don't think." She looked around warily.

"We should get out of here, too." Sherry turned, peering into the dark for a way out. Not that she could do much besides hobble around. "I sprained my ankle fairly bad, I think."

As she turned, using Armagnac for support as she hobbled (her ankle hurt ok) ...the lights came back on. "Oh. Oh Thank God."

"We just have to get up that way," she said to Stormy.

Then she paused. "JAKE?" One yell wasn't going to hurt anything.

As soon as the lights turned on, their escape path became shockingly visible. Maebe took one last swipe at the mob, and then grabbed Jude, tugging on him hard to get him to run with her. "This way," She cried out over her shoulder, stumbling as the dizziness began to mess with her equilibrium.

"Come on, we're almost there." Maebe's voice was quieter now, a little less adamant, and kind of sleepy. She slowed down in her run, but they had made it to a safe distance. Hunters rushed past them to take care of the zombies they'd left behind, and she stood, watching them pass. Her back remained facing Jude, as the hunters started to turn into a blur. Then she looked down at the ground, and her shoes.

They were covered in blood. The last thought that managed to actually pass through her mind was that they were ruined.

"Mark?" she called out, one hand cupped around her mouth. "Shu requires your immediate assistance, Mark - I will pay you, Mark. Where are you?"




"No way!" said a muffled voice, hiding somewhere, "I'm not going anywhere until you guys like, knock her out or something. My life is too short for like how sexy I am and stuff."

Lucky was also in the vicinity to receive a splattering of blood when Finn hacked it up, which unsurprisingly got him mostly in the face. He pressed his face into his shoulder in an attempt to wipe it off, but only served to smudge it around a bit and stain his coat. One of the lenses of his glasses was now a bloody mess, and he didn't look much better for rolling around on
the floor of a zombie containment room.

He turned to Jack now, and this time he gave a sheepish grin that seemed almost uncharacteristic in this particular timeline. "Funny, you really haven't changed a bit since last time."

"It's just blood," Lucky began to explain with a somewhat concerned look toward Ripley, pointing the flashlight at him exclusively. The kid was already taking off for the infinite darkness. Lucky slowly turned the flashlight back to the others, and gave an awkward pause. "Vhat is his problem-?"

And yet it was his voice that answered.

"Better than y̶̿̍̔ͨ͋͑o̓͌̇ͦͨ̾̉͜ů could do-" he hissed immediately, not even questioning the source of it. His words seem strangely distorted at times, but with the chaos around them it hardly seemed like a detail worth remembering. Underneath the bloody smears he looked pale. "Yo͍̟u̶̳͈͕̣̺ had your ch͍a͕̣̜͇͙͍n̩͟c̸͚̻e̱̲! I'm not going A͙͉N̢̯̭͇Y͔͍̝̺̠͕W̤̙̺͓͞H̢̤̻͉̱͙͎ḚRE̶͙͍͓̝̱̮̠!̣̖̯"

With any luck they might have thought he was still shouting at Ripley's retreat, considering he was staring off into the darkness with a look of intense rage and gripping the flashlight with white knuckles.

Which was the perfect time for Finn to turn around and collapse on him in a heap of clawing hands and gnashing teeth and bloody drool. Lucky nearly lost a neat chunk of his face before he'd gathered enough focus to try pushing him away. With his noodle arms, this amounted to about two extra inches of safety. Whatever rage he'd intended to take out on 'Ripley' was now being channeled into shoving the one-eyed zombie away. One hand smashed below the jaw, the other batting the flashlight frantically at anything in range. Their corner of the room was quickly turning into a light show.

"NOT H҉̱̯̝̮̲͎ELPING," he shot in Chel's direction, still grappling with Finn at arm's length.

Infected

The light hurt her eyes, under the scarf, Shu started drooling with the call of desserts. She dropped the flashlight and changed to hold the hammer with both hands, aimed to the female hunter to knock her down for a taste. The mention of "Mark" triggered something remained in her nearly sanity, like a final string, it drew her attention among all the delicacies.

Too tall wasn't good for a short petite zombie like her, she attacked recklessly. "R......o......a.....r.........r...r...r...r......r....r." She growled low at the parfait she saw.

Then, she turned to the giant unbelievably tall vertical hotdog, yellow with mustard. The zombie ghoul couldn't reach the tasty flesh, so she reached out and hopped, like a jiangshi. One time after another.

"D.....o......w....n........" It suggested the hotdog was her next target of this buffet.

Jude felt the tug and didn't question it. Partially because he was dazzled by the sudden light that seemed so much brighter than ever before. He ran with her because he didn't want to leave her alone, he didn't want to give his brother a new reason to avoid or hate him. He didn't want to give whoever else that liked her a reason to feel that she had been forced to face the horrors alone.

Also? He cared for her. Every annoying part of her.

It wasn't until she slowed down that his thoughts caught up with him though he was still gazing behind himself, "We're okay, I think." He only looked at her from the corner of his eyes and saw her looking down, "Mae... s**t! You got hurt?! Mae, why didn't you say anything?" He realized she'd gotten injured at some point, hand reached out toward her shoulder. For some reason the idea that she was infected didn't really cross his mind.

It didn't seem like they were getting anywhere fast, or at least to the exit (or.. just door?) that Noemi had spotted earlier with her flashlight. Milo really couldn't even tell exactly where they were in relation to said door or even the wall or anyone with how the beam of light frantically danced about. Which was, to his guess anyways, was the little Mist's state of mind.

Who was currently, like with most missions these days, taking up the main focus of his attention. Because he needed to get her out and to a safer place. If that were possible. Hard to tell with what was going on with only so much of a light source. Which seemed to be doing more harm than good, was what he was gathering as he glanced around. The Sun reached out, was already in the process of snaking his hand over Noemi's to switch off her light when the whole lot of them suddenly flickered on.

Aa. (Okay, it didn't seem as bad as it seemed, but still. There were infected bodies everywhere and some of them seemed to be friends.)

Immediately, Milo's hand clasped down on Noemi's and with a swift yank he pulled her behind him while he pushed his elbow backwards to do something similar with Cee. Partly for bravado, partly for dramatics but mostly to make sure they weren't in the way of when he swung his naginata. Blindly at best at first, because he was now just finding out exactly where their small group had been.

Oh, hey Finn and... Lucky.. and Chel.. and Jack... and Ripley.. and.... yeah.

At least it wasn't a wild swing. But still the blade managed to find Finn whilst the duo struggled. And at first he felt kind of bad, because hey... Finn didn't seem terrible? But, then he realized.. wait, infected? And then he remembered the b*****d leaving him at the Tower and didn't feel as bad.

"WHOA WHOA WHOA, RELAX BUDDY," Robert roared, immediately going on the defensive the moment Mark told them to knock Shu out. "Nobody's hurtin' her while I'm around, so you can just FORGET THAT RIGHT NOW - "

And as Shu took a swing at Mimsy, Robert slumped his shoulders and slowly, metaphorically ate his words, one by one.

He summoned Jazzy, and very carefully wrapped it around Shu's neck, and used it to choke her. "Okay sweetie, don't fight, don't fight the big bear, just go to sleep now. It's gonna be okay. I gotcha. Just go to sleep."
