OOC: Yeah, Laera was at the top flight of stairs on the second level, descending to the first floor when the lights went out.

OOC: Okay, Laera is on 2nd descending to first, Tycho, Jack, and Erin are on the 8th, and Chen Jiu is probably on 7th. Gotcha.
IC:
Silence fills the air as Laera descends the steps. No sound at all aside from her eventual little trip down the steps. After you regain your balance, you don't even notice the rip in your shirt's sleeve, but you do notice bodies.
There are about ten, maybe fifteen of them, strewn about the apartment complex's 1st floor lobby, blood glimmering in the dying light, some missing arms, some heads. The one lying at your feet seems to be missing his entire lower half.
In front of the counter where one would usually be greeted by the lobby guy or keymaster or whatever they're called, a figure is crouched over a body. Its frame is massive. It has two arms, two legs, but it's difficult to tell if the thing really is human in the dim light. Question is, do you really want to stick around long enough to find out? ((OOC Note: If you wanted, you could take a moment to make a Spot check to identify it more clearly, but then again, who knows what could happen if you stuck around another second longer.))
Meanwhile, back on the eighth floor, Jack and Tycho have run into a few helpless teenagers.
"Brad!" screams the other guy, a frail looking dude with eyeglasses and a bad case of acne. "Brad, you dumb f**k!" He looked like he was contemplating chasing after the other one, but in the end he must have decided not to.
"I don't know, maybe a break-in, yeah," she said, still crying and pausing a moment to brush her blonde locks out of her face. "But there were bodies everywhere. We need to hide."
OOC: Oh, and just a question, how do I make those spoiler boxes that open up like that?

A shudder ran up Tycho's spine. Here he had been chasing the supernatural for the past few weeks, encountering nothing, and now it had come to him. He could tell by the color of the skin of the teens, the wide, frightened white rim around the pupils, the controlled panic in their voices. It was then he realized, perhaps for the first time, what he had been looking for.
He had looked so hard to prove that nothing was really there. Wrong again.
'Again?' he thought. He got no further. That part of his mind concerned with immediate survival kicked in, prempting any more reflection.
"This way" he growled lowly, shooting a look at Jack. "8C, right?" as he leads the way to 8E, his own apartment. The lovingly oiled lock clicks open, and he motions for the four other human beings to enter, half convincing himself that he really does want to go down that stairs and see what lies there.

As the group goes past 8D, Erin sticks her head out from the door with a questioning look. When first she heard the noises she was wondering if there was some disturbance, perhaps another break in or somesuch, that she should try to calm down, and by the light of her candle she groped around for the stun gun she kept for emergencies, just in case the situation turned nasty. When she hears the voices of her neighbours, though, she realises that it's not likely to be a break in, and the fearful, determined anticipation she felt faded away to be replaced by simple curiosity, and that is the emotion that shows on her face as she opens the door. "Hi there," she says with a pleasant smile that freezes as she sees the shock and fear on the teens' faces. "What... what happened?" she breathes with a concerned frown.

Use (sblock) and (/sblock), where in stead of ( you use [ and instead of ) you use ]. 
Chen Jiu wonders if he should open up a fortune cookie. He tries to get around using the light of his handphone. He tries calling Liu Jian, the girl he likes on it. Maybe she'll understand my problem... and it's always nice to hear her voice...

Jack pushes past the fleeing boys, to the crying girl "Where are you talking about?!? Where are the bodies?"

For LogicsFate, Eluvan, and Erudite: [sblock]The girl flinches as if she expected Jack to slap her. After a few silent moments, she spoke up, "They're downstairs in the lobby. The first floor."
The teen called 'Brad' had ran off somewhere, and the other guy had already scooted past Jack and into the apartment room that Tycho had held open.
Somewhere in the building, two gunshots rang out. It sounded like it came from the first floor.[/sblock]
For Krug: [sblock]After dialing Liu's number, you hear the ringing a couple of times, and it sounds like someone picks up. You expect Liu's voice, but for the moment, you only hear heavy breathing on the other end, along with the sound of a gunshot, though thr latter seemed to be coming from somewhere in the building.[/sblock]
For Frukathka: [sblock]As you creep back up the stairs, you trip over a corpse, the THUD! of your fall echoing throughout the lobby.
The massive being crouching over one of the bodies turns its head to look back and upon seeing you, it stands and fires two rounds from a gun it holds. He holds. Yes, it's definitely a 'he.' The bullets veer hermlessly to your right, into the wall.[/sblock]
