[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast IC

[ThWatcher]

Janice Cardinal 3/6

Janice lays there as some of the men go into the store. Others begin moving around the cars as though they're searching for something. She knows it's too late to run. They'll see her for sure.

As a couple of men get close to the sign and car that she is under, she tries to move a little farther under to hide better. It's then that she realizes her hands and feet are numb. Even so, it hurts to move them and she makes an involuntary whimper. (OOC: She's been laying here on the ground since the blast/blast storm.)

She hears the voice of one of the men on the other side of the car. She turns her head to see in that direction and sees him looking at her. There is blood drying or frozen, on her forehead and hair. She hears the other man getting close to this side of the car.

She tries again to move but her limbs just don't want to move and they hurt. She winces from the pain and this time she begins to cry. Not the loud wailing you often hear at a playground but the crying of a child who's trying not to cry but can't seem to stop.

Through crying, you might be able to make out the words, "Please, ... don't ... hurt ... me."

Terrence 25/44

Terrence moves quietly towards the man with his knife out keeping watch of the man for any sudden movments. "Sir, I want to know what your name is and why you are here. If you could give me some indetification or tell me where it is that would help considerably" Terrence says to the man as he keeps his knife in reach.

Francisco waits patiently for the soldier to report back, he looks over to Kyle and James, as they search a wrecked car. "¿Cuanto más va a tardar?..." he says, almost for himself.

[sblock=Group Alpha]As Terrance moves closer towards the man, he notices that the man looks pale and his lips are blue. Although he isn't certain, Terrence believes there is a fair chance the man is already dead, although there still appear to be no signs of how it happened.

As Terrence processes these thoughts, he suddenly catches a glimpse of a small shadow move quickly along the wall and hears a clanking sound behind an aisle for muffler parts and air filters across from the service counter. Those standing by the door hear the sound as well.[/sblock]

"Que mier...? What was that? Hey militar guy, is everything bonito down there?" shouts the scientist Francisco.

 

[Blackrat]

Kyle looks at the girl curiously and squats down by the car. I'm not gonna hurt you. We're trying to find some parts for our car. There was something strange about the girl and the stuff she carried with her. Homeless kid maybe, Kyle thought. There was certain familiarity that he couldn't place his finger on. You know, little sister... Was that the right way to adress the feeling... It's not safe around here, where's your home?

[sblock=OOC]The group thing doesn't seem to be working. I'll post everything out in the open from now on.[/sblock]Terrence seems to be examining something behind the counter. Those with him try to make it out and catch sight of a human arm sticking out from behind the counter. He must be looking at a body.

Everyone in the parking lot notices the others waiting on Terrence to give the OK to proceed inside. Those moving into the building stop dead in their tracks at the sight of the body and the noise coming from within. The parking lot seems pretty devoid of activity. It would probably be safe to venture inside with the others, and from the looks of things, they might need it.

Harry promises to watch Aziz and the truck.

Sgt. James Matthews; 6/32

James notices Kyle kneeling by the car to examine the child and calls over to him,"Is there someone hurt in there?" He keeps his eyes on the building however, still perturbed by the sense of foreboding he had in the truck.

"I'm going to go have a look around back, just to make sure everything is clear." James then begins moving toward the back of the building, looking out for anything unusual.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Fancisco peeks in with certain fear, waiting to see what happened.

Kyle looks at the girl curiously and squats down by the car. I'm not gonna hurt you. We're trying to find some parts for our car. There was something strange about the girl and the stuff she carried with her. Homeless kid maybe, Kyle thought. There was certain familiarity that he couldn't place his finger on. You know, little sister... Was that the right way to adress the feeling... It's not safe around here, where's your home?

As Janice's movements and fear have pumper her heart a little faster, a little extra blood moves into limbs where it had almost stopped entirely. Just enough extra blood to wake a few sleeping nerves. The additional tingling and pain helped to encourage her to think that even an unknown man would be better than being stuck and in pain. As she tries to control her crying, the quivering in her voice is more noticeably caused by being very cold. She says "I.. I c..can't get out. M..my hands w.. won't w..work."
