*Mel's looking for someone who can update her on recent events, and peeks in... She's popped at once into the middle of the cornfield, and glowers and mutters, and quickly moves everything from her coat pockets to her pants pockets and waistband, taking extra care with the MP3 player. She's intensely annoyed to see that her automatic has turned into a regular six-shooter.*
Fuck, that can't be good. H'llo? Anyone else here?
*the kids are singing creepy rhymes about everyone falling down* They're kinda walking toward us in a long spread-out line. I think they're just the warmup act... we do not wanna get backed up. I think I can clear us a path. You ready to run?
*she's really sure these are the mansion's extras, as it were, but still cringes a bit as she steps away and takes the first shot. the next two are easier. the kids keep coming, seemingly unfazed by their fallen comrades. Mel grabs Near's hand.*
*She does a quick check. Kids have turned around and are still coming, but pretty slowly. No other obvious imminent dangers, but she's not about to put the gun away or let go of his hand.*
I see a house, or something, on the hill. Bet everyone else would head there. C'mon. *points them toward it*
