[Silly!]

Breathless and shaking just a bit Ray confronts his nephew on the tabs, Jas what is this :):):):)? I've got to get you out of here. You need rest and a doctors attention. Maybe we can help the others once your thinking clearly again. Ray is holding Jason up by his shoulderstrying to shake some sence into him.
 

James walks backwards, watching the group's shadows as they hustle, and tries to distinguish any threats that could be hiding amound them.

A cold sweat springs up on his palms, lessening his grip on the revolver, and forcing him to squeeze tighter. His knucles turn white and his teeth grind while they are clenched. His eyes dart back and forth, absorbing every movement made within his field of vision and trying to dcipher them all at once to find an enemy.

The sound of Jason's sneakers squeeking on the lynoleum floor as he comes to an abrupt stop in front of the labroom sends another shiver down your spines. Just James remains focussed and seems to be keeping it all together. As James walks backwards while trying to move along as fast as he can he stumbles against something and swing his handcannon around to send whatever is behind him to kingdom come. Quickly he pulls his gun up as he sees that it's just Doc he stumbled into who was hanging over to catch his breath.

Pffff, sorry James... Pfff... Pffff... Sigh... Just not as young and vital as the rest of you I'm afraid. Could you please give me a hand. I don't want to be the last in line here. Pffff....

James quickly grabs the elderly Doc by the arm and draggs him towards the lab room in which Jason disappears just as the two approach. Ross who's holding the door looks down the hall to what's holding the other two sees the scene and runs towards to two to give James a hand with Doc who's totally exhausted from the run.

The two young investigators move as quickly as they can towards the welcomming light just a few more meters away but as they close in the echos from down the hall grow ever louder and louder...

You take over Ross! I'll watch your back! We've got incomming!

While Ross draggs Doc through the open labroom door James finds himself suddenly very alone in the dark hallway. His long shadow falls deep down the corridor, projected by the faint but suddenly ow so very bright light in the room behind him. The moans grow ever in strenght and the beating of steel against the floor seems to quicken as it comes nearer. James suddenly feels very cold as goosebumps cover his entire body and then the first shadows fall around the corner down the hallway.

Humanoid shadows dance on the twilight hallway floor thirty meters down the corridor. But the moaning and the dragging and beating sound James hears get him his doubts on the matter of what is stalking the gang through these dark halls and corridors of the university building...

A cold click is all that sounds when James puts the cold metal hammer of the Anaconda back in its safe mode. The howls and moans from down the hall seems to be rounding the corner any moment now and James waits for just one more second and hastens himself through the labroom door which he closes with a loud bang behind him.

In front of him are Ross who's sitting Doc down on one of the tables in the room and Jason who's watching Ray shaking up the other Jason... Who in this matter seems to be too weak and distant minded that he just lets it come all over him and shakes like a doll in Ray's hands.

Unnnn...cle... Ray.....I... Wwwhhaaat..sssss.. happeenniiinngg.......

And Ray suddenly scaring himself by how he took on the already very weakened kid just now realises in how bad a state Jason really is. This is not just some side affect from heavy drug usage... especially since by the looks of it... Jason was doing everything he could to devellop some sort of antidote against this Pixiedust....

And now the beating sound reaches all inside the room reminding them of the fact that something is comming....

For them....

[OOC: You all came in through the door in the left bottom of the minimap and the lighter patches in the upper wall are windows. The door to the office part of the room is slightly ajar and clearly unlocked. It's where Jason was hiding till everyone came back and where Ray found him when he entered the room first. /OOC]

Ray looks wildly around the room. I can't imagine this is normal for the college. I'm getting the disk out. Ray reaches into the inside pocket he had specialy made for the disk and pulls it out fingers already in the slots. Lets see if the disk reacts to the area here.
