[ Alex is running to Delia's room! He hears running footsteps behind him! ] * Alex doesn't dare look back, he can't see as it is. * Alex rounds a corner and keeps going. * Miya keeps chasing. Alex can see a beam of light shine past him. "You couldn't even see where you were going!" [ Really, it's only Miya chasing him. But he doesn't know that! ] (Now he does!) (And she's probably gaining.) Damn, you're fast for such a little kid. * Alex slides around another corner and slows down a bit to let Miya catch up easier. * Miya gains and quickly catches up, since Alex thoughtfully slowed. She doesn't even sound particularly winded. "Um, thanks. Here." She hands him a flashlight. * Claire arrives, floating up the stairs. "Here you guys are." * Miya looks over and waves. * Alex takes the flashlight. "C'mon, we gotta check on the others." * Alex runs off towards Delia's room again. * Claire follows, in the air! * Miya nods and keeps up. "Where are you going?" [ Alex reaches Delia's room! The door is open! ] * Alex runs in and sweeps the light around quickly. [ Alex sees Delia bleeding her life on on her bed. ] Shit! [ She's unconscious but shivering. ] Guys, I think they're ALL like this. * Miya lets out a little squeak when she sees that. She runs over and puts a hand to Delia. "I'll get her to the hospital place!" Go! [ Daegal catches up. ] * Claire stares. "Y...yes, hurry." * Eric comes up on his makeshift hoverboard, holding a large floodlight. ... aww shit. Eh, anyone else? * Miya scoops up Delia, a strange sight considering how tiny she is. "Look away," she says before vanishing in white. Let's go check. * Alex heads for Sally's room. Stick together. *shields eyes* We gotta search all the rooms. * Claire nods. Who else is there? Jack should be down at the pool house, at usual. I pity anything that tries to take him in this weather. Check the other rooms to find out. Jai? Other Alex? A-D, ya mean? Ya know what's his room? The one not standin' here. And no. I don't know either of them. * Alex carefully rounds a corner, sweeping his light around first to blind anybody around it. * Claire shakes her head. ... hate to say it, but if don't know where they are, first priority's gotta be to find whoever's doin' this. Duh. Where do ya think they'd be? * Alex shakes his head. "Yeah. best defense is a good offense." * Claire nods. "You're right... Just make sure we do it on our terms." Okay... guy's smart, and fast. Eh, he knew where to hit, so he knows somethin' about the layout or where people are, too. He hits the people asleep upstairs. Gotta know we'd go check on the others. But he dumped the body outside, and hadta know we'd try'n take them to the med bay. Divide'n conquer... * Claire nods. "Good thinking." We'd better get there quickly. To the medbay? * Claire hurries out the room! * Miya flashes into Delia's room. Um, she's okay! The machines are working. * Alex runs after Claire, back the way we came. * Daegal waves to Miya. "We think this guy's tryin' to ambush near the med bay! C'mon!" * Claire glances back. "Miya, are you alright?" * Miya nods. "Yeah. Whoever did this isn't there. I checked." She runs after. "But, um, shouldn't we make sure everyone else is okay?" Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Eh, don't haveta tell me twice. * Alex skids to a stop. * Miya stops, too! I can do this faster! * Eric skids to a stop. * Alex pulls out a long keychain that has nothing BUT keychains on it. * Alex starts flipping through frantically. Where'd I put it, where'd I put it? * Miya blinks a few times. Everybody link hands! How? And make it fast. *turns to Miya* We don't know where they are. * Daegal does so. * Eric shrugs and links too. * Claire blinks, but does it. * Eric snerks. "CD player?" Big Blue gave it to him, fer his powers. Eh, makes sense. Just hope it doesn't skip on ya. * Alex hits the jackpot and, with a triumphant shout, he slams one of the miniature cassettes into his oversized player and puts the headphones on. He holds his hands out to the people on either side of him and pictures the area outside the medbay. * Miya grabs Claire's hand. Hers is just a little sticky with blood. Probly not her own. * Alex squeezes the hands he's holding VERY hard as he tries to force himself to calm down and do it like he did in practice. [ Poof! You're in the other channel, now. ]
