....

[She stares at Lace for a long time.] I see.

[And then suddenly, YOU ARE BACK IN THE FIRE FIGHT. Though you seem to be hunkered down in a new building, but there are still three robots after you.]

From:

bloodbiter

[sudden setting changes putting her in middle of a fight are getting old!! she fumbles with the gun for a moment before taking aim and firing at a robot]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Rage is an infuritating thing.]

[Down the robot goes, but one of the other two got SMART and has fired at the building to bring it down.]

From:

bloodbiter

[welp. does she have time to get out of the building if she uses her powers?]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[She does indeed, but she is out in the open now.]

From:

bloodbiter

[if they've figured out how to knock down buildings once she finds cover in them, she's just going to fire at one of the remaining robots as she runs, believing that any rockets will miss her]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Damage one of the last remaining two. Seems like it's getting harder to Hope at things. Those walls seem to be cropping up more and more.]

[Another ten sider, no repeats.]

From:

robitussin

[five]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[And you're still in the Neigbhorhood, but it is no longer on fire.]

[And you are now much, MUCH shorter. And may be five years old.]

[The sky is dark, but starting to lighten with the rising sun. You are on the streets alone.]

From:

bloodbiter

[oh my god ignore my account fail]

...Hello? Is anybody there?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Silence.]

[But there seems to be...movement in the alley over there?]

From:

bloodbiter

[wandering over, wary]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[You see a bunch of black Carapacians, crowded together.]

From:

bloodbiter

Hello? I'm not going to hurt you. Are you alright?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[The Carapacians look at her.]

[And it's easy to see for her. How they're hesitating, how they seem to be battling something, before finally, one approaches her.]

From:

bloodbiter

What's wrong? Are you hurt?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[The Carapacian reaches out for her.]

From:

bloodbiter

If you can find a way to tell me what's wrong, I can try to help you.

[she tries to dodge the grab, though]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[A movement, a meaning.]

"Hungry."

[And the Carapacian LUNGES, trying to take a BITE.]

From:

bloodbiter

[her reflexes are fairly good; as soon as realizes what's going on she moves back as quickly as she can, automatically trying to get her sword from her sylladex... only to find she can't.

that. that is not ideal. she's not really keen on the idea of trying to fight them without a weapon, so she's turning and sprinting away as fast as she can.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Why did you wander so far from home. They told you not to, but you DID, you have to get back, you have to, but it's so FAR.]

[The Carapacians pursue you, jerky, stumbling. It's obvious they're mad with hunger, but still they follow.]

From:

bloodbiter

[she keeps running, pushing herself to go faster, believing that they're going to fail to catch her

she's looking for an exit, or something to attack with]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[You manage to keep ahead of them, but just barely.]

[It's scary it's scary it's scary you thought they were your friends why would they hurt you]

[And then there's a crash as you move from a dark gray square to white as white carapacians appear and bum rush the pursuers.]
