Um, guys...?

[The video feed jostles a little, focuses on a view of the marketplace - and then turns slightly to show one of the Infected shambling its zombie way along the street

[...............shit.]

Are they only in the market so far?

[Video]

[xxii_thefool]

I don't know, I haven't been anywhere else yet. The first one I saw blundered into Mr. Ping's a little while ago.

[zerosuitjill]

Okay. Even if they're only there now, they're going to spread quickly. [It's a given, she figures, largely because this is the Underworld.]

Good call about holing up. You okay for now?

[Video]

[xxii_thefool]

Yeah. [She nods, soberly.] My abilities aren't working like they should, but I've been able to avoid them so far. Seems like maybe they're attracted to noise. [Thus the hushed tone.] They move pretty fast when they notice something.

[Po sounds serious, which means it's gotta be bad.]

Minako! You need to get back to your place, right? You sound awful!

[...something...]

[xxii_thefool]

[She summons up her best smile, though she still looks a little wan.]

I'll be okay, Po. I'm heading back now, I just had to pick up some things since we probably won't be able to shop again for a while. You should make sure your place will be safe if any more try to get in.

[ooc: For the record, I am assuming she made the post after the incident we talked about. Which I would be happy to log or whatever!]

[ALL THE SOMETHINGS!]

[savedbyradishes]

[Oh, he knows a not-smile when he sees one.]

Can you get there okay? Do you want me to go with you?

[Because she's more important than a few broken windows, really.

ooc. lmfao that's fine! I know the mods are gonna make some log event for it, so if you want to, we can do it there \o]

[xxii_thefool]

[Hey, Minako is very good at fake smiles! Although slightly off her game today.]

You don't need to do that. I'll sneak around them. [Very wry.] I definitely won't try fighting again. But I'm fast on my feet.

[ooc: awesome!]

Hey, be careful! These things are a pain and you have to run like hell from them. I'll be coming over once I've found Laura.

[Because he's not letting his friend stay out on her own.]

Thanks, Junpei. I'm not going to be out here that much longer if I can help it, believe me.

[Catty looks pained as she watches the feed before forcing out a choked laugh.] Guess you were right about a new "game" starting.

[xxii_thefool]

[So rueful.] Things were quiet for a little too long. I should have figured that meant something really nasty was coming.

[pathtosacrifice]

There doesn't seem to be that many shuffling around. People could go out in teams and kill them before they become a problem.

[xxii_thefool]

It'd be nice if it's that easy.

[A bit of a pause; her hand goes to the back of her neck.]

My abilities aren't working right, either.

[bladedstray]

Something like this has happened before? [What did people call those things? Zombies right?]

Even if we find shelter, I doubt it would keep them away.

[xxii_thefool]

It was before I came here, but I heard about it.

Anyway, finding shelter's better than staying out in the open. There might not be that many now, but there's probably going to be a lot more soon.

[bladedstray]

There's no reason for us to be bombarded. It would be smart to compile people who are able to fight.

[xxii_thefool]

The "game" will be over after a few days, and then they'll be gone, probably. Until then, even if we fight, this place will probably just bring in more of them. There's no reason for anyone to risk getting killed if they don't have to.
