With an unhearable click, its noise chocked by the music, the door falls back into its lock. Slowly his hand releases its grip of the sweaty doorknob and Ray takes a few steps back. A cold feeling slowly seeping through his shirt shakes him out of his stare as he finds himself against the wall. Some movement in the corner of his left eye draws his attention and the only thing he sees is James peeking over his shoulder before his face also disappears beneath the upper step of the stairs.
Ray gently pushes himself away from the wall and still slightly shaken by what he saw in that room he firmly paces down the corridor towards the stairs. The pandemonium in the room still clearly pictured in his mind and filling him with question concerning why and who. Half a minute later his left foot sinks into the garbage littering the ground floor and his eye catches the rest of the group waiting for him about halfway across the room.
A few trips and muttered curses further the last of you emerges from the front door and takes a deep breath of fresh air trying to cleanse yourself of the sickening and disgusting air inside. James emerges last and his nose and stomach welcome the change of air as well as he fills his loungs with the fresh mountain air while almost stepping in someone elses vomit spread over the path leading to the door.
Greeted by a pale looking Doc back at the car you can easily make out that he wants to go and get away from this place. Clearly not the old man's idiom. Soon the engines roar and the cars speed down the road and head north by northeast back to the university campus.
After a minute or two of easy driving through the by night abandoned town the campus buildings slowly rise before you as black giants against the clear nightly sky. The sound of your engines pulling up to the physics building echos loudly between the quit and empty buildings. After the car doors have been slammed shut your ears are greated by an eerie silence that seems to be carried by the wind that steadily blows and dartles between the campus building.
While you step forward and head towards Jason's lab, you five are greeted by the sole light that burns inside the lab on the second floor, the rest of the building dark and silent.

[OOC: Hi guys! Sorry to be away. I was in the hospital for a few days.]
I'm not sure if the light on is a good thing or bad. I was under the impression Jas didn't want anyone to know he was there. Ray seems to take on the air of a concerned parent and charges up the stairs.

The last sound you five hear is the hydrolic hiss of the large double door closing behind you and then there is silence. You find yourselves staring into a dark and unlit hall with several corridors leading away into an unnerving gloom. If it's old memmories playing up or a strange tension in the air you don't know.
The path to the small class room laboratory still seems to hang fresh in your memmories and as four of your head towards the second corridor on your left Ray already sprints off towards the lab. But before any of you can react to it you are met by a frigid gust of air that blows in your face the moment your round the corner into the side corridor. Doc tightens up his jacket and for a moment his face lights up in a spooky orange gloom as he inhales some of his pipe fumes.
Hmmm, seems someone left a window open somewhere. But now let's not have mister Spacey wonder off to far now eh?
Your footsteps sounding louder and louder the longer you continue to walk down that empty and cold corridor towards the staircase somewhere around the right corner of the end of it. After a minute or three you round the corner and see the staircase rising before you. The sound of feet rushing up the cold stone echoing down towards you.
Slowly you all ascend the stairs together and as the last of you cleares the last step you all notice some strange acrid odor that reaches your noses... An odor that seems familiar.. but from where?
The cold wind blows through the first floor left wing corridor as well and it seems to blow away the acrid odor for a moment as it rushes past you and dances playfully in the dark corridor of the empty building. But when the wind dies down again for a moment there is a faint sound comming from behind you... the strange sound of metal against stone... The sound is joined by another similar one and you all find your paces slightly quickened... But the wind cuts the sound down again and for a few seconds you find yourselves relieved of that rythmic beating sound comming from behind you. But then...
Oh God...
Then that moaning sound creeping up from behind you the moment the wind disappeared behind a dark corner in the corridor again. The disturbing moaning sounds that suddenly sound like very many voices in agony sends the four of you running down the corridor as if your lives depended on it...
As you round that last corner at the end, the moaning and beating still echoing from behind you and for a moment seem to grow distant for a moment, you see some light seeping from beneath a door down the hallway.
Ray's voice talking to someone sounds down the hallway and as it meets your ears it seems to give your minds some reprieve of the haunting sounds seemingly so close behind you... the door is only a mere 60 ft away from you...

Hi Guys!
TFO called my some time ago how proud he was on his CoC game. Like any self-respecting PbP Player, I immediatly volunteered to fill up any space that might come available. He said "Okay, but it might take a while"I said "No Problem" and so I waited and waited. Other people now showed interest too! I was afraid I'd never get in! But some minutes ago, TFO told me I was in, so here I am. I'm going to read through all the second chapter and then discuss with TFO what character I choose, or make and how I will be introduced IC.
I'm looking forward to playing!

James draws his Anaconda from his pants, allowing the others to get ahead before he starts moving.
"I gotcha backs people," he says, fear causing the foundations of his voice to tremor slightly, but enough to be noticed.
He cocks the hammer, and wishes this wasn't as familiar to him as it really was.
