[assuming Sylvia is still with RB at the docks, he's probably standing with her, a worried expression on his face.] Sylvie. D'you happen t'know where th' hotel is? Ah want you t'head there -- people who're avoidin' th' bunker or have managed t'escape are headin' there. It looks like it's safe.

[Heavy breathing and grunting. A man starts to speak and is drowned out by static briefly, before the voice is heard again.]

...plan. I brought some smoke bombs with me, and my--[there's a moment of hesitation]--some others were going to use them to try and help flush the raptors out of the bunker.

We're probably not enough by---GODDAMMIT---[sounds of someone lunging around]---ourselves, though. Reinforcements would be more than helpful.

[quiet cursing is heard before he speaks, sounding a lot more worried now.] How many people were with you? Are you guys stuck in there?

All right, ah'll try t'see what ah can do about gettin' that help. Try t'hold out, though ah'm guessin' y'don't exactly need t'be told that right now from the sounds of it.

[Brushing it off.] I'm fine. A few scratches, nothing serious. Two people came with me, and they're both fine. It's the people inside I'm worried about more than anything. There are kids in there.

[Gruffly.] Not that I care, or anything.

Yeah, yeah. I'll do that. Hey, better it come after me than anyone else, right?

[ghostlyspark]

[you are totally reminding him of Juji right now Kira but now is not the time for reminiscing.] Shit, you're kiddin'! We gotta work fast then...

... no. It ain't good for anyone t'feel like they need t'act as bait, but in this situation ah guess it can't be helped.

[myspecialdance]

No... But I can find it!

Where are you goin'?

[ghostlyspark]

Be careful on th' way there, all right?

Ah'm goin' back to th' bunker, see if ah can't help th' situation out any. Hopefully find some people on th' way willin' t'provide backup.

[myspecialdance]

I'm always careful! [Grins at.]

But... I can't jus'... Promise you'll be careful too?

[ghostlyspark]

[returns the grin.] Just have t'say it, y'know.

Don't worry, baby~ ah promise. Ah'll be fine.

[ghostlyspark]

That's a good idea... Requires some baitin' though. Ah'm not so much fond of that part, but it's better than nothin'.

[newageobiwan]

We've got the smoke bombs, but charging those things down is just...[sigh, short pause.] --it's stupid. Have you seen their claws? And that's without looking at the teeth--[Another short pause, deep breath.]

I mean, if we can trap them, or lock them in one of the rooms somehow, long enough for everyone to get out...

[ghostlyspark]

Ah don't want t'just charge 'em down, trust me. Trappin' them is a good idea, but it requires people playin' as bait, people who can either move fast enough to avoid th' damn things or can show off enough power t'intimidate 'em. Either way we're riskin' people.

You're one of th' people tryin' t'flush 'em out already?

[newageobiwan]

All I did was throw a smokebomb, if you count that as flushing them out. Look, there has to be another way, one that doesn't involve converting half of us into chew toys.

[ghostlyspark]

Unless we can find somethin' t'bait 'em with that's not us, ah can't think of anythin'. If you've got any ideas ah'd love t'hear 'em, because ah really don't want t'put any more people in danger's way either.

[synergia]

Who needs help? I'll go!

[ghostlyspark]

People at an' in th' bunker. Ah'm glad for gettin' someone else t'help, but we need a bigger force. D'you know anyone else who would be willin' t'help?

[synergia]

Oi, we're still in the bunker, too.

[ghostlyspark]

[sdfasdf -- sigh.]

Well... keep yourself out of trouble then, all right? An' keep th' others as safe as you can. We're workin' on gettin' you guys out.
