Echos of the living

[Doom114]

Dom moves with Steve, still neither of them leading, towards the mall. When they get near the door, Dom quickly moves across to the other side, peering through the glass to try an see if there was any movement, "You see anything?"
He winces as he hears the building collapse, and quickly squeezes through the gap in the once-powered sliding doors, standing to the side waiting for Steve while looking into the dark building.

[Lief]

Mark wished he could've picked up the shells from the shotgun, but he didn't have time. He rushed through the now open doorway, axe in hand. He waited for the other two, and looked around. Nothing seemed to present an immediate threat, but he knew it wouldn't be long before every Taint in a half-mile radius showed up.

[Volgaia]

Lilia slung her bag over her shoulder, making sure that it was secure before looking for the exit. Once she located the door, she made a break for it. Lilia was lucky that she moved when she did; The building's structural integrity was quickly failing, and a chunk of the ceiling crashed down where she was previously standing. Lilia stumbled out of the now collapsing town hall, carefully cradling her injured arm.

She caught up with Michael, and the two of them ran out to the street together. After getting her bearings straight, Lilia realized that they were short a person. "Wait a second, where's Izzy?" she asked, wondering how she didn't notice her missing earlier.

[Kisuke]

Michael knelt down and dropped his pack in front of him. "Something grabbed her... dragged her into the darkness. I couldn't catch her." With his last statement he punched the cement, scraping his fist. He sighed, reached into his bag and pulled out a sling for Lilia's arm. "Hold still, let me help you." He carefully set her arm in the sling and put his arms around her neck to attach it in the back. "There you go, that should be better."

[Ranalf]

Ranalf and Rana watched through a crack in the steps and held their breath. All had gotten out but one. When Rana saw that one was injured, she took the chance to convince her brother to try to help. He didn't budge for a few seconds but then he agreed. Rana smiled and started to take out the supplies. Ranalf had his hood up still(both of their coats have hoods) and moved out into the open and to the door, opening it slowly, putting two fingers in his mouth, and then letting out a dog whistle to the group in the street(Mark, Lilia, and Michael). C'mon, hurry... he thought as he kept the door open. The hood hid most of his face, and he had his Crossbow in his arms with his foot holding the door open while he motioned inside if they looked from him whistling, keeping an eye out for tainted.

[darktimes]

Damn fire... Steve thought, as he tried to smell what is inside the Mall. the only thing he got was teh smell of ash and fire. "I'm not sure." he replies to Doms question after a second.
"I go in first, cover me." Steve draws one of his four bayonets and sneaks through the door. it was pitchblack in there, and rubble and destroyed furniture lie around, making it hard to stealthily move. Steve moves carefully between the pieces and allows his eyes to accustom to the darkness.
nothing.. all is silent...
Steve turns his head back to the entrance, and sees how the sun disappears behind the horizon of the buildings. he motions Dom to follow him. then a smell of burnt wood reaches his nose. not from outside, but somewhere in here.. probably a campfire, but old and burnt down.

(you spawn the enemy. I'm too lazy. but atleast I made the sun set and the night begin! )

Tyrant

Letting go of his pick axe and bracing himself, Tyrant felt the full brunt of the beasts charge. Taking a few steps backwards and wobbling a bit, he suddenly let out a roar and literally threw the beast back as it slammed on the side of the bus. Some dark gooey substance started to drip from tyrants arms, which he used as a shield. "I'LL USE YOUR POINTY TEETH AS TOOTH PICKS!" He said as he made a charge of his own, the ground rumbling at his heavy footsteps.

(Phobia and Izzy will make a come back in Ranalf's house when everyone enters)

[darktimes]

the beakdragon was completely taken by surprise as the twolegger.. tossed her back! she hits the side of the bus, leaving a large dent on it, and lets out a pained wail. as she then sees that the twolegger is running towards her, she thinks fast, jumps up on the bus, Lets out a loud Roar and... leaps onto the next car and breaks in a full sprint, away from the tyrant, jumps up a building, starts climbing, reaches the top, and turns her head to see if he still follows. if he does she'll just jump to another building.
that twolegger might be strong like an ant, but just as slow!

[the red soldier]

Tyrant

As the beakdragon jumps on the bus then on a car, Tyrant slammed on the side of the bus as it rocked back and forth, Tyrant flying into its innards. "A DAMN!" He climbed out of the wreckage, picking up his pick axe as he saw the beakdragon climb away on the rooftops all of a sudden, he didn't thought the creature could climb. "FINE! RUN AWAY YOU LITTLE [censored]! I need to snap somethings neck..." He started to walk away, there was no way he could keep up with it when the thing just climbed a two story building in half a second.

[Doom114]

Dom sneaks deeper into the building, climbing over knocked over shelves and other debris. When he saw an unopened can, he would check it's contents, choosing whether or not to slip it into his rucksack. As he got about halfway through the building, he found an opening in the middle, with a small campfire and most of a dead menterrier, he moves away from the camp, still wary of any threats.
His pack nearly full, he decides that it would be time to leave, he works his way back to the entrance, waving Steve over to him, just when a taint crashed its way through a row of shelves, lunging at Dom.
Dom dodges to the side, drawing his blade and rushing back in, stabbing the thing in its side, which hit him with its arm, throwing him through the air down one of the aisles.

[darktimes]

Steve reacts instantly as he sees Dom being attacked. he lunges over a pile of Corpses and rolls forward. he won't be much use without some range against this thing. he lets out a swear and takes a broomstick that is lying on the ground next to a skeletal corpse. must have been the janitor. with haste he pulls his biggest Knife out of his Jacket, alongside some string and ducttape.
"hold him off!" he starts to wrap around the string, then secures it with the ducttape, to make a makeshift spear. however, it will take a few seconds, an eternity in combat.

[Volgaia]

Lilia followed Michael's instructions as he helped her arm into the makeshift sling. "Thank you... She muttered, once she felt somewhat comfortable. "Heh, it's kind of funny; normally I'm the one helping people with their wounds." She knew that she would be somewhat of a liability until the pain was gone; for the time being, she would have to figure out how she could be useful. As she was talking to Michael, a sharp whistle caught the attention of her group. She looked down the street to see a figure standing in front of an open building, clearly motioning for them to follow. "...Should we?" she asked Michael and Mark.

[Doom114]

Dom staggered out of the rubble, raising his bow, firing an arrow into the beasts side as it turned towards Steve. It quickly turned back to face Dom, charging him. Dom had lost his knife when he had been hit before, so had nothing to use and instead dodged while loading another arrow. The beast dove through another row of shelves, bowling through them. Dom fires another arrow into its back, loading in another of his dwindling supply. He looked over to Steve, seeing that he was making a spear out of his knife, then looked back up, seeing the monster rushing him again. Unable to dodge, Dom fired his arrow into its chest before being rammed through another set of shelves.

[darktimes]

Done, steve hurries up and finishes his work just as dom is thrown through the shelves. he swipes the air with his makeshift spear and runs with three, four, five quick steps to the monster, raises his spear to head level and upper position, and starts to shout. "RAaaaaaahhh!! c'mon here! HERE [censored]. Take someone with a WEAPON PUSSY, AAAHHHH!" hoping to get its attention. meanwhile, while making a loud racket, Steve circles around the beast, and dodges two angry swipes. he keeps carefully stepping around it, till there's a shelve with a solid wall behind it on his back.

the beast has focused its attention to Steve, but his quick stabs with the bayonet kept it at a distance.. for now. steve readies to dodge, while the tainted creature gets in a similar charging position as a bull would. Steve quickly grabs a military knife from his belt and throws it at the creature. it dodges of course, and teh knife lodges itself in a tin can behind the Creature... near Dom. Steve grabs his spear firmly again, and waits, stares into the beasts eyes.

[Kisuke]

Michael looked over his shoulder towards the source of the whistle and grabbed his pack off the ground. "I don't see why not..." He looked at Lilia again and held out a hand, "here, lemme carry your bag."
