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?
