The air is thin and dusty with drywall and masonry, and is difficult to breath. Off in the distance somewhere Linh can now hear what sounds like voices, scratching, and soft clunking.

"Hello!!" Linh called out as loud as she could. "HELLO!! WE NEED HELP HERE!!"

"Aw I can't wait! But it's a suprise," Chris protested. "It's cool you can stay out late - I was hoping..." he admitted, smiling while he chewed on a fry himself. "I really wish our parents would let us stay out all the way until Sunday night - that would be so awesome."

"Aww... I wish I could to honey, I really want to, but daddy might get upset, and we don't dady upset with you." she says sighing into his shoulder. Her cute little nose wrinkling at the thought of Chris and her dad not getting along. She couldn't think of anything worse then the two men she loved arguing, though truth be told she found her sister's not liking Chris was causing her a lot of worry and hurt as it was. She just wanted her twin to get along better with Chris, she did love him after all.

Stacy shuddered against Chris in sympathy as the visisting player fell to the floor. "I hope he's alright," she whispers worriedly. Looking at the scorebored she hoped that the boy didn't make his shots, even though he deserved to for getting tripped. For a moment she thought whimsically that she could affect the shot, but then the thought was gone, swallowed up in Chris's cologne.
 

At the sudden yelling behind her, Lana glanced over her shoulder and nearly yelled something alright...like "Sh#t! or "F#ck" all of which came to mind and very little out loud. Her foot came down harder on the ground with more forceful shove, hoping to out skate Luke's sprint.

What about Kate?! She hoped Kate stayed in the bathroom and that Jonathon knew better than to tangle with these four. Apparently she hadn't though. Lana, this isn't one of your most brilliant moments. The only thing left to do? Skate like hell away from them.

OOC: lol...yeah that was a hard one to decide...SKATE LIKE HELL SKATE LIKE HELL!!!

Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders to no one as he rounded the corner into the Freshmen area. Man, this was a royal waste of time, Lorenzo thought, they’re probably back at the gym already. I haven’t been down in the section for ages. How the hell did I even get here, and more importantly, how do I . . .

“Crap, there’s trouble” he says as he sees the three people. Lorenzo pushes through the glass doors at full speed sprinting after them – looking to bypass them. I need an angle, something to slow them up, Lorenzo thought. As he sprinted he said in a voice as close to the principals / assistant principals [OCC: Assuming one of them is male, will edit to the correct one] “Gentleman, no running in the halls.”

[OCC: Lorenzo will use heroic surge to move through the glass doors area, then full sprint down the hall past the three people (if it’s not them, Zo will laugh it off and keep running) using Bluff [+6] and Tumble [+6] as necessary.]

Macario screams out as agony wracks him to his very core. Thrown off balance by the pain, he forgets himself for a moment. Embracing himself and doubling over, he tries to clear his brain of the daggers that seem to be embedded in it. He'd felt pain before, but this was different. This was... something more. Maybe he was finally dying, came an idle thought. He'd thought about it a lot since the discovery of his disease, and he'd thought he'd made his peace with it. But feeling the assault on two fronts - from the banging door behind him, and from deep within his body, he realized that dying was the last thing he wanted to do right now. That every bit of his soul was fighting claw and tooth for that next breath. As painful and depressing and unrewarding it had been, he wanted to live.

Unfortunately, his concentration had left him and that was enough to give the hostile figure outside proper purchase. The thug barrelled full in, propelling Macario forward. His concentration focused crystal clear, the boy took action. Controlling his forward momentum, he rolled across the floor, and up on his feet, and was half-lunging, half-staggering for the door. Pulling down the water cooler and throwing it behind him to buy himself a few more seconds, he pulled open the door to the 'Employees Only' section and tried to make it out the back.

I'm not dying yet, he thought to himself determinedly, his silent mantra to himself. I'm not dying yet!

OOC: Macario will try to get out of the building, but will grab up any convenient/portable makeshift weapons to defend himself with.

Small bits of dust and rock rained down on Linh and Bo as her voice seemed to shake the collapsed walls with a fury. The other noises stopped for a moment, and then began anew with more urgency. They continued the get closer and closer, guided by Linh's yells, until after what seemed very much like hours - Linh wasn't even sure she'd been awake all that time - finally the rubble above and to the side of them began to shift. The lights that strained to stream through might as well have been more intense than the sun for the shock of sudden brightness they evoked in the dark hollow.

"Hey! I see something! Hello?"

"Yeah, I don't wanna tick off your dad - he's cool!" Chris smiled. "We'll just have ta use all the time we've got as much as we can, right?"

Out on the court the first freethrow sunk perfectly, leading to a bit of trash-talking by the visitors, but the second one missed, bouncing high off the rim. All the players rushed in, shouting and jostling for position to catch the ball.

"That's all you're gonna get!"

Someone caught the ball and then got shoved roughly, falling to the glossy floor.

"Get him!"

The players nearly started to pile on top of each other, almost like this was football and not basketball. The cheerleaders seemed a bit taken aback, and it even took a moment for the referee to react, pulling his whistle up to his lips and releasing a shrill blast.

Round One
Initiatives:
20 - Lorenzo
18 - Luke
16 - Lana
08 - Jonathon
02 - The Gang


Lorenzo rushed forward to the doors, yanking one of them open and then continuing through. He jostled past a couple of guys, getting in front of them just in time to see Luke make his move.

Luke surged forward after Lana with the breakneck speed of the receiver that he is, and lunges for her. His fingers whipped across her back furiously, with heat and pressure she could feel through her shirt, but he failed to find a purchase on her. Struggling with his momentum, Luke stepped forward and to the side of his victim, slamming against the lockers with a loud curse.

Lana loses her balance as a result of Luke's touch, and she stumbles forward after her skateboard leaps ahead, clattering down the hallway away from her. She manages to keep from falling, though, and ends up a few steps away from Luke.

Jonathon is momentarily caught off guard by the sudden violence, even though he was expecting something might happen. It had almost seemed like Lana was about to skate away without any trouble. He started to run out into the hallway when a voice called out behind him.

"Lana? Is everything okay?" Kate wondered worriedly, poking her head out of the bathroom.

The Gang were suprised by Lorenzo's sudden appearance, and only Todd Deering managed to keep up, moving up next to Lorenzo and giving the senior a rough look.

A quick map since this is all essentially linear...

Glass doors
20 feet of space
Last two 'gang' guys
10 feet of space
Todd and Lorenzo
40 feet of space
Luke and Lana
130 feet of space
Jonathon and doors to Dungeon


The hallway is two squares (10') wide. There are lockers lining much of both sides, and doors to classrooms every so often.

''Yea, daddy is pretty cool." Stacy admits happily, liking the fact the two of them did get along, despite her worries. "Right." She says in answer to his question, puntuating it with a kiss to show how much their time together meant to her. "We do have all day Sunday to ourselves, dads taking Lana snowboarding all weekend so they aren't going to be around. You can come over or I can go to your house, which do you want to do...." she asks, trailing off as she watches the action on the court with widening eyes.

Stacy squeezes the hand that Chris had draped around her waist. She looks up at him worriedly, her beautiful green eyes very wide. "I hope the refs can bring this back to order, some one could get hurt. Oooh, I hope they're all ok under there." she says.

Macario pulled away from the door suddenly, and it must have been colder than he thought, because the skin of his hand ripped away from the metal bar like it was slightly stuck. There wasn't time to worry about that fresh pain, though, as he crashed through the narrow aisle, pushing whatever he could onto the floor behind him, and then slammed into the white door in the back.

"Whoa!" and a gruff curse was all he heard behind him before he got the door closed. The back room was even more cramped than the store outside, with a desk, small safe, and a dirty toilet on on side, and shelves of overstock on the other. The floor was littered precariously with extra boxes and cartons of everything from cigarettes and candy to magazines and condoms, and stacks of cases of beer. On the back wall was another plain, white door.
