[019] End of the world as we know it

[derpish]

[Cain was trapped, no way out without putting other lives at risk. The locks and codes that would be so easy to crack, were suddenly as impenetrable as if they were solid walls with no doors at all. How had this happened? How had his little brother become this thing so hell-bent on destruction that he couldn't even hear the voices of those closest

BASE FILTERRR

[nurturing]

[ yeah that explosion was just. NOT GOOD. Alexstrasza barely managed to stay out of the way of falling debris--covered in dirt and bits of rock, a little of her own blood thanks to some jagged edges--she's trying to see through the smoke ]

--Commander??

foreverrrr

[echivoc]

[Cross stumbles into the chamber Alexstrasza is occupying. Some blood is running down his temple and cheek - gotta love it when debris smacks you on the head! He uses a blast of air to temporarily make seeing what the hell is going on a bit easier, and spots the other redhead as a result.

Okay, now where are their other three teammates?]

[derpish]

[That answers his question then, there are those here who think he is another almighty Crusnik like his brother.

Stumbling to his feet, glasses broken and small cuts over his face and hands, he keeps a safe distance from them.]

Are you hurt?

[nurturing]

Co..... [ ...No, that isn't the commander. But it looks like him, and her brow furrows in confusion--again the whispers gnaw at her head, red interferes with her vision--but she coughs and pushes on ]

What's going on??

[derpish]

I don't know, but we should remain calm.

[Calm. Ha, he felt his lips twist slightly, as though he had told a joke. God, this whole scenario was so surreal, so wrong on every level.]

[echivoc]

[Cross keeps his distance as he tries to focus on finding the other Methuselah, but the majority of his attention is on the guy standing a few feet away. Better to let Alexstrasza do the questioning.

And yeah, that statement makes him roll his eyes. "Calm," yeah, sure, as the base is collapsing on top of them. Totally reasonable!]

[nurturing]

[ Calm...sob. Not exactly what she's in the right frame of mind to be at the moment )8 she makes a sound of irritation--held in check only by Cain's appearance--before she turns toward the origin of the blast ]

We must find him!

[derpish]

No!

[From what he'd seen and what he knew of Crusnik, the electric charge had to have come from his brother. Worried as he is, the last thing he wants to do is provide Abel with food for the slaughter if he's wounded and needs bacillus.]

I'll find him, you both... stay here.

[echivoc]

[Okay, you are getting a dark glare, mister. Who are you to be ordering them around?? Now he will speak up, with a dry, sarcastic tone:]

There are still several others missing. Going to find them, too?

[derpish]

[The identical twin of your Commander?]

Search for them, just leave Abel to me.

[darkevangel]

[ Herp derp, have a little girl walking in, looking around for-

Oh. It's just you guys. ]

I can see you guys are all right. [ She wouldn't have minded if some debris happened to land on Alex, but alas, that didn't seem to be the case. ]

[derpish]

[Oh no, not her too...]

Miss Alice?

[darkevangel]

[ ....Looks at Cain.

"Miss Alice"? Really? ]

Just to be clear, I couldn't care less about you, Cain. [ And fhafhasdfi looks at Alex. ] Or you.

[derpish]

[So she still remembers him, does that mean she thinks he's on their side? No... if she thought he was a Crusnik, surely she wouldn't be so rude. Had Abel told his troops of his 'terran brother' imprisoned here.]

Are you hurt?

[nurturing]

[ oh, you get a look too Eva >8( but Alexstrasza is striding forward despite Cain's instructions ]

[derpish]

No, wait!

[He darts forwards, trying to block her path.]
