((First off, once PC's are together, as is the case with Jim and Arell, I'll be running you in singular blocks when you decide to do something. If you start talking I'll only interact via NPC till you try and go/do something. Sorry if this seems a bit lazy, but a good update for me takes nearly an hour, which, when you have 5 off after work, makes me REALLY not want to update some days ^_^.
That said. I'll not be updating for Jim/Arell till after the latter posts. =) ))

While things were perhaps a little dicey coming out of your house, the crowds already surging down the street towards you, things seemed relitively safe once you got onto Victoria street bridge. Aside from a few slow moving stragglers, no one seemed to want to go anywhere in the direction of 8th street, most of the paniced people doing their best to work good time AWAY from it in fact.
[sblock=ooc] As I said small update, sorry =(
On the plus side you get to do some rolling, a perception check and, if you're doing anything more than power walking, an endurance check. *Grins evil like* Choose your speed wisely [/sblock]

The woman did not respond to words to your shouts and cusses with ones of her own, instead there was merely a shriek, violent and bizzare, sounding more like a roar as she shoved again, trying to claw her way inside.
Luckily she failed to grab and clear hold onto any bit of you as you fled towards the kitchen, her shrieks slowly diminishing into that omni-present moan, the sound echoing in through the open door, coming closer, in masuline as well as feminine voices now.
[sblock=ooc]Okay, one question for you. Back door or no? Personally I think it is more interesting if you don't, but you've got a much better survival chance if you do. I'll leave this call up to you =)[/sblock]

Things were chaotic as he sped down the road, only a few blocks now from Darwin's house. So far, other than the plumes of smoke everything seemed quite normal, most doors closed, street lights glowing happily against the darkness while headlights illuminated the road.
Then those same headlights caught on something, a glimmer of metal as you neared, barely a block distant from your friends house, a car stopped dead in the road.
[sblock=ooc]Drive check. You did say you were speeding at night hehe. Don't worry, I won't kill you unless you completely screw up =)
Kidding kidding![/sblock]

The trip to St. Johns, once you got out of range of the crowds, was completely normal save for a spare few police cruisers headed in the opposite direction. While normally this was one of the worst areas of the city to drive in, tonight it actually seemed relaxed, compared to the chaos he had witnessed not long ago.
And then there was parking. The hospital already overflowed with emergency victims, it took far longer than you would like to park, responding for duty a mere ten minutes after the call, the hospital security chief pulling you aside the moment you entered the door.
"Jesus! I was wondering if anyone was going to show up. Look, its gonna be a crazy night, I've already got three of my men on the floor helping out. Now, its outdated, but we've got some riot gear..." He paused, noting the look on your face with a grim chuckle. "Yes, its that bad. Here's the key, its in the cage in 201. Get geared up and then come help restrain these wackos."

[sblock=My thoughts]Alright, you've really got two choices. The roof has an overhang that you 'could' get up on. Its gonna require some... I believe dex + Athletics to drag your ass up (Whatever climb is) Simple check to get a handhold, then an extended check to pull yourself up. Fail the simple you fall. Fail the extended repeatedly, you fall.
Alternately, you can drop down from the balconies, trying to figure out what kinda check that would be, but my head hurts like hell and you're my last post ^_^; Its safer since you could, if need be, tie yourself off to something.
Take your pick, if you need to discuss it more before posting, chat in the ooc =)[/sblock]
The view from the balcony thankfully spared him the vast majority of the city. While once he had lamented the 'crappy' view from his suite, now it was a blessing, protecting his eyes from things no one should have to see.
Still, he had to make a choice sooner or later. He could hear the people just below him screaming, and if they were being attacked, it was only a matter of time before they made it to his floor and he didn't have any option but to jump.
