<> Hey, Vera! Wait up. * Fitzroy jogs to catch up. "As interesting as that was, I'd rather be looking for Hettie." * Vera glances back. "Hey Roy... Yeah. Me too. Don't want to be near there when that goes down." * Fitzroy nods. "I'd be lunchmeat if Thren came my way." * Vera checks the buildings as she goes, trying to stay somewhat-but-not-too stealthy, just in case. "He picked a hell of a time to go looney, that's for sure." <> * Vera heads in to check! * Ian (jrenken@tofu.sandwich.net) has joined #ATC2Too * Fitzroy follows Vera. (At this rate I might as well just start ATC3 in two channels and never pretend it'll leave that.) * Ian appears behind Roy, catching up very *very* quickly. When did you see Hettie last? (Um, define further "in".) Dunno, lost her in the battle. Roy, Vera. Thren says that she's in a building. ( Up the stairs. ) And he's still crazier than I am. Well, guess we're on the right track. <> * Vera just stares at it. "What the hell," she moans, then sighs. "Hey Hettie, are you in there?" * Vera draws her gun, just in case it's not Hettie. <> I guess that's a maybe. Let's move this crap. * Vera moves the barricade! * Fitzroy helps! <> (...>_>) * Ian cuts some of the couches in HALF. Easier to move. < (nice caveat, there) <> * Vera stares. "You've got to be kidding me. Hettie? <> "It doesn't look very nice out there." * Vera starts clearing the springs. "Yeah. Thren's gone loopy and there's a bunch of dead bodies and things." And Thren's gone totally Ian. "Ooh! That ... oh dear, he's not moving. (+") Er.... What? * Fitzroy helps with the springs "Who's not moving?" "Threnody." <> * Vera climbs the stares. "What's wrong with him?" "You can see them? What happened?" ( Stairs! The stairs! ) * Ian clears. "Oh, crap. Did Kat actually...?" * Fitzroy goes upstairs. <> <> "... is it safe? Is right now, yeah. Unless Thren gets back up and starts floating and impaling things on spikes, yes. <> "Well. Who says a bit of excitement isn't good for the heart?" <> Heh. Plenty more of that coming. * Vera follows! * Ian follows! * Fitzroy follows! Also!
