[Dolorosa was lurking behind some rubble, just a rock in hand for a weapon. She had forgotten that this body wasn't as strong as her troll body and wouldn't be enough to defend herself with. She'd gone through a few rocks but it was dangerous and required close quarters combat.]
[She watched the girl sift through what was left of, she was guessing, her house, and followed her gaze to see another attacked and devoured. The girl ran into the ruins and Dolorosa followed, figuring if the hoard found her that four hands had a better chance than two]
Do you require assistance? [she looks around, preparing for an attack. with her rock]
[She started and looked over at the woman crouching. She fought down the urge to run and cautiously hid] U-Um...um I...[She shook her head slowly no, but she looked too nervous to be true]
[she holds up her hands in a "I come in peace but I'm not going anywhere yet" gesture] Forgive me but I think I will stick with you for a bit longer, we both witnessed what these cannibals have done just moments ago. We could be next and believe in beneficial to fight in pairs rather than alone.
[There is a crack and Dolorosa whips her head to the direction the sounds came from] We may not have much time to prepare.
It seems like anything that could be used as a weapon was obliterated. [She hands Koharu the rock] Use this if the need arises. [she looks thoughtful for a moment] Do you know how fast they are, do you think you could out run them if they attacked?
[She searches the ground for another rock, she finds a smaller, less substantial one. It'll do for now] I am Dolorosa, I'm sorry we had to meet under such circumstances.
[She shook her head wordlessly and stared at the rock. Was she supposed to kill them...Or even hurt them...She glanced in the direction of the people] I-It's alright. I'm Koharu...I don't think I could outrun them.
[If anything the rock could serve as a distraction, if she throws it in a different direction and they hear the rock hit something they may chase the sound and leave them safe!] Then we will need to distract them so they don't see us, that may be our only escape plan since both of us are unarmed. The rock, however small, could save us.
Do you think so? [She looks at the rock. Then up at Dolorosa. Her entire manner shifts a little as she adjusts to the idea that she has to be stronger to get through this. Breaking down is for later.] What should we do?
[she lowers her voice] We will be at a disadvantage during close quarters combat so we need to remain at a safe distance. It's best if we are in a position where they are visible to us but we are not visible to them. They will be searching for fresh meat so we must make them believe there is meat in another direction. That's where the rock comes in, we throw it to the side, they hear it land and chase after the noise, then we run in the opposite direction.
I was informed of a few houses that operate as safe havens but with the town in its current state I cannot find my way there. All I have to offer is an address.
If the town ever comes back I should attempt to memorize the map as well. There is [address], [address], and [address], I believe those are the places Karkat told me.
[ooc: guess who is too lazy to really look up the addresses, just pretend one is close by or something, sob]
...Usually it all goes back to normal. No matter what. It may take a long time but it always returns. I promise. [It's a vague reassurance to her but she nods] I...should probably return to my mother...well she isn't really but she sort of it. Her basement was safe enough...I think it's this way. If it is, those places are there, there and there [She points off in the other directions each in turn.]

I-I don't have any weapons...My rifle is gone. I can't find anything anywhere.
