It's really too bad that Nagi isn't even in the Nexus tonight. It would be simple enough for him to close off the sprinklers if he knew that there was blood raining down in his apartment.
Should anyone notice the problem, he does tend to have his cell phone with him.
It's [insert appropriate day of the week here], so Aya-chan has brought food and cleaning supplies for Nagi's apartment. She knocks. When there is no answer, she lets herself in with a key.
The scream she makes when she sees the foot tall puddle of blood oozing toward her would put any horror movie heroine to shame. She drops the food and supplies.
Her first thought is to get far away, but her second thought (that Nagi is going to be pissed when finds out his stuff is ruined) makes her go into the blood drenched apartment.
She slides through the remaining puddle of blood and grabs what looks like the most expensive laptop and easily portable techno toys. She has to scrunch her eyes almost closed because the blood falling in them stings.
She slips on the blood in her haste to leave. Her head collides with the edge of the coffee table and the computer and toys go flying across the room.
Ren's been up on the roof for some time today. It's a nice day with a strong breeze, and the smell of the herbs growing on the roof makes a good change from... whatever their neighbor had been trying to do in his apartment.
So, when he hears a scream, it's only a matter of seconds before he's down to his balcony, through his apartment, and rushing through the front door. Of course, then there's a good ten seconds of horror and disgusted gagging as he finds his feet drenched in blood. Ren is not so good with blood.
He manages to force himself to the door of the other apartment, and lo and behold, there's someone in there. That's not good. More blood is still falling from the sprinklers and the blood now in the hallway is oozing its way toward other doors. Great.
He quickly moves to the person's side. As quickly as one can move through a river of blood anyway. He's trying to ignore the blood dripping down the back of his neck. It takes him a second to recognize her under all the blood. "Aya-chan?"
Aya hears her name being called very far away. She tries to lift her head. It takes more effort than it should and feels wrong. She touches her hand to her forehead. It's bloody. Everything is bloody. She remembers and comes back to herself enough to notice the bloody she is laying in and that still coming down on her.
Nagi is going to be really mad now. She dropped his computer.
She tries to get up. Her head still feels like it's been stuffed with rotting fruit and she isn't breathing right.
Ohshitshitshit. He'll help her up if she'll let him. Hopefully he won't need to carry her, but he will if he has to. They both just need to get out of here now. He'll think about everything else once he can think.
