Exit 23

[Sixchan]

Nick, seeing that the man is alright, decides to have a walk around. At the front door, he stops, and stares into the storm. How strange. What was that thing, huh? I just hope we ain't going out there in a hurry again. He sighs, and heads back to the washroom. "Find anything?"

OOC: Away with work. Exams causing chaos in school office. Job for Six, underpaid employee extrordinaire. Ack, I want a raise.

Sighing and running a hand through his black curly hair, Daunte rolled his eyes. "Okay, I'm listening," he stated, caramel eyes resting on John. "What do you think this thing is?" He absently shakes the globe again, then holds it out.

John shrugs. "A snowglobe. Other than that, I have no idea."

"Find anything?"

"Um," says John, and begins packing up the papers in to the breifcase. "I'll tell you later. The park ranger seems to want us in the coffee shop. Let's get Mr. Riley someplace warm, eh?"

 

[Jarval]

You all return to the donut shop, to be greeted by an almost physical wave of relief from the staff and trapped motorists. Ahmed's obviously been busy while you've been away, as the shop is now lit by several flashlights and two small gas lamps. The of relief of your arrival is dampened somewhat when John and Daunte bring Mr Riley through on his stretcher.

"Gawd, what happened to him?" Mabel asks with a look of alarm on her face. "How bad's he hurt? Bring him through here and put him down." She points at one of the large tables at the back of the shop.

"I'll be honest with you, I don't know what is going on here, yet. I will ask everyone to stay together here until we figure out what has happened."

"Mabel, where is the phone?"

Ben will see if the phone is working. If it is he will place a call to the State Police.

 

[Jarval]

"There's a phone in the lobby, hon." Mable directs Ben as she clears off the table for Mr Riley.

Ben makes his way across the lobby, and picks up one of the phone, but hears nothing, no dial tone. Frustrated, he turns to head back into the relative warmth of the donut shop, only to stop when he smells something. Something like... burning gasoline?

Ben looks around sharply, and catches sight of the faint orange glow and slight wisps of smoke that curl up from under the door of the convenience store...

 

[ErichDragon]

"Damnit. This is turning into one hell of night."

Ben runs into the Donut Shop and quickly asks, "Mabel, is there a fire extinguisher around. Something is burning in the convienence store."

 

[Vardeman]

"Damnit. This is turning into one hell of night."

Ben runs into the Donut Shop and quickly asks, "Mabel, is there a fire extinguisher around. Something is burning in the convienence store."

Danny looks up, some bit of the paralyzing fear has evaportated. "Uh, yeah, man... There's an extinguisher over by the stove. Fire code, ya know..." He gets up and heads into the kitchen to retrieve the extinguisher.

"Oh...this is going to be one hell of a bad night." Nick stands up, and looks around. "Is there any other fire extinguishers around?" We might need more than one, given how bad everything is already.

 

[loxmyth]

"Damnit. This is turning into one hell of night."

"Oh...this is going to be one hell of a bad night."

Daunte pauses at the stereo of sentiment coming forth from the ranger and his quiet muscular sidekick. Unsure as to what to do, he nevertheless realizes that it would be bad if the convenience store burnt down. That's where all the supplies are. So he tosses the snow globe to John and follows the lead of the new guy, racing to the kitchen to see if there is another fire extinguisher. If not he'll grab a pot, fill it with water, and use it to douse the flames.

John catches the snow globe, trying not to drop it, and stands there, wracked with indecision. Help or stay here? Gah. He puts the snowglobe down carefully and runs off after Dante.
