Happy Resting One of, if not the only asylum for the mentally unstable to have an advertising budget, Happy Resting is proud to let it's visitors know that they've only had two breakouts over the last year, and almost one of them was fully contained! A lovely little place that's so safe, both residents and visitors are required to wear helmets at all times. Which has absolutely nothing to do with large cracks forming in the walls and ceilings.

"Oh this is goddamn cheery," an out of breath Michael Hunter panted, "Couldn't we have at least stayed in the invinco-domes to get away from that thing?" +~~+ If your heart is too big +~~+
"I am a leaf on the wind"
Cloud_666 spoke while dramaticly looking over his shoulder.
"That would be the first place they looked. We're better off here in this spooky old asylum." +~~+ Then your chest is too small +~~+ "If you suggest we split up I will goddamn kill you." The Cameron the Cameraman was silent, rolling on this whole thing with a rather unorthodox camera made of a rock, some string, and what appeared to be a squirming amphibian.

Athan was not in much of a hurry, but the strength in his stride made it look like he was on a mission. The black armor, the huge sword, the pissed off look on his face and the official-looking earpiece completing the ensemble.
There was, apparently, a grouping of people that were intent on following him for whatever reason. He looked to be the leader, but only because he was walking in front of the assembled crew.
"Place looks deserted."

A few minutes later Joseph found himself looking at some old building, and even worse more people. “….Kill you.” Was all Joseph heard and was all he needed to, gave him the right to form a Katar with his aura before heading in to see three people, one with a unknown device, someone obviously terrified, and one who seemed to be leading them.
“Alright who the Hell are you? Lets go you Ain’t supposed to be here, Got to take you all in, Resist and I will have no regrets doing it the hard way.” (on side with the Camera crew, not with Athen and the rest.)

Coming in from the north west, Chen looks up at the building as he comes to a stop right of Athan, his right hand coming up to his shades and adjusting them.
"Well, what do you expect of this region? People coming out and giving us welcome fruit baskets?"
He walks forward over to the building to get a better look at it.
"Happy Restings, it looks like, the asylum in this city."

"Usually the case with these kinds of places."
Sarcasm? No really?
He was quick to cover it up with a, "Not like anyone would have anything interesting here after all. This entire place seems wicked boring." The voice thing was buggin, but he kept it up fanatically. No need to upset Athan just yet. Though now he was kind of tagging along with the group with the hand opposite them shoved into the bag.
Clutching his precious shotgun's handle as if daring to pull it out at any moment.
What? He was paranoid.

"Holy crap! People!" Hunter blurted out, "Maybe they're here to help, HEY HEY! Over here! We're from Gaia New..." +~~+ If your heart is too big +~~+
"Shhh..."
A hand clasped over the reporter's mouth.
"They won't understand our mission here, we need to escape.... NINJA VANISH!"
Cloud reached into his pockets taking out two handfuls of long dried cherry-blossom petals. Tossing them into the air Cloud grabbed the other two by the scruff of the neck and then ran into the building. +~~+ Then your chest is too small +~~+ Cameron kept on rolling.

Of course, subtlety went straight out the window the moment the fourth member, or third, whatever, of their rag-tag little group decided to rush up to and threaten a different grouping.
"Hey!"
Athan moved to grab him, but it was a little too late.
Because, let's face it. There was only one Southeast, so they'd be coming from the same general direction no matter what.
Athan wasn't so much in things for Greywater's mission, and the people gathered looked like they were of some sort of news crew. At least, that's what the guy was starting to confirm before he was silenced and carried away by someone else.
"Damn."
Athan rushed forward, throwing his shoulder into the door of the Asylum and darting inside. If these people were from Gaia News, they had information.
Athan wanted all of it.

“Hey wait I was only kidding…Damn it!” With that the Aura weapon reversed back into his normal energy flow and he took off after them. “Damn it tell me where to get some ******** food and I’ll let you go! I don’t want to be here either!”

"Heh, looks like there's no stopping it."
With a shrug of his shoulders, he runs after Athan, going through the door Athan manages to ram open. Nice strength, just as he would expect from looking at him.

"What the hell are you doing! You saw that thing we don't stand a chance up here alone." +~~+ If your heart is too big +~~+
"They could be with the enemy. A sheep in wolf's clothing."
They continued through the hallways making random turns in an attempt to lose the perusers. +~~+ Then your chest is too small +~~+ Hunter was notably dragging his feet. "What enemy! I have no idea what you're talking about. +~~+ If your heart is too big +~~+
"EvilCo... Chakra caltrop attack!"
With his free hand (Cameron was walking on his own now to get a better shot) Cloud reached into his pocket to retrieve his Chakra encoded ninja tools. Of course he had no idea what any of those words meant, thus the caltrops were only "enhanced" to be super slippery.
Nor were they caltrops Cloud just spead all over the hallway floor.
They were jacks.
+~~+ Then your chest is too small +~~+

He didn't know about Athan, but Chen was keeping track of where the guys were running, using his metaphysical abilities of the great, beholding power of psionics. He could feel the presence of the three men who ran inside, and kept a good lock on them as he ran. The jacks that were thrown would first come as a surprise, but when he saw that they were only little plastic toys, Chen shakes his hand and leaps over them, continuing with the chase, his coat billowing behind him.

Everyone else ran to get in on the action.
Tweak, for his credit, just kept on with his steady pace to the door. The other three (idiots them all) had already busted on in and started doing whatever. In the mean time he hung around outside the door, mask pulled down, cigarette danglign off his lips, and a shotgun resting over one shoulder. Even had the cool little 'I'm leaning against a wall smoking' pose going on a couple feet to the right of the door.
"Dumb ********. It's always like this. One'll get shot and still survive."
Pfft. Let the other's cause a commotion, he was quite busy. Besides, he'd been in enough of these situations with Athan to know how it would end. Someone was going to get smashed, the end. At this point Tweak knew his presence would just get in the way. Depressing really, to be in with a super human strength beast, but at least it got things done.
One quick chug of heart warming vodka later and Tweak was peering at the building through his thick goggles and wondering to himself...
Would it burn if he actually tried?
Puff puff puff.
Probably not...he'd need more full. Too bad he left the gas cans alone in the APC.

Joseph kept running until his foot seemed to lose control and he fell, sliding along the floor, until his face was stopped by the wall, and the building attacked with a small piece of plaster, that stuck his head.
“Come back now I only want an Advil and some food.” But his words where lost to the halls, unless his “team-mates” heard.

Athan had frozen upon entering the Asylum, if only to take a quick scan of the surrounding area. Chen, on the other hand, seemed to have a good idea of where the trio decided to run. Athan, meanwhile, had only his sight to rely on.
He followed the asian man, completely ignoring the jacks because, well he was a big guy. The tiny toys were crushed underneath the shadesteel greaves, and Athan just kept on running.
He made sure to shove Joseph's face even further into the wall as he rounded the corner, because it was that guy who had started this chase in the first place.
Athan didn't like chasing people.
