The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild

[afterlifer]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival Day 3: The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild
WHEN: 9/30/3013. Any time.
WHERE: Surface, passages to Guild, Guild.
WARNINGS: Fighting, language, freakouts!! Let me know if there's anything else!
SUMMARY: After dealing with the shadows for a day, The SSS finally managed to get a team down into Guild to clear out any shadows that had made it down that far already. The Underground is being announced as temporary cover and any may head down there if they choose to.

It'd been quite a few hours since the shadows had first appeared, but it wasn't as though no one had been doing anything. Everyone had been fighting, hiding, running-- anything they could to keep others safe. It wasn't much but around 3:00AM on the 30th, a mass series of text messages was sent out to everyone.

Message 1: Guild cleared of shadows. Need fighters to protect. SSS invites all to take shelter. Entrance in gym (seats pulled, take ladder in pull-out) or underwater through river. Find SSS member to lead you. Traps still set. Be careful. SSS will send out regular teams to fetch bodies who failed to get in. Can't disarm to keep shadows out. Attached is list in order of booby traps for Gym entrance.

Message 2: Ceiling Hammers (Just don't get hit)
Rolling Boulder- whole tunnel. Run. Take corridor on right.
Lasers- Use smoke bombs near entrance to see & dodge. Panel code is 44917.
Collapsing Ceiling- Run. Panel code 62108.
Go down hall, keep to edge or floor will fall into pit of spikes.
Get into underwater area. Swim through underwater hall. Head toward side with stairs.
Ignore puppy it is just a toy.
Don't fall down waterfall.
Take stairs and follow until reach Guild.

Message 3: You'll know it when you're there. Good luck. Text back if you need help. Some comps available here.

A. text+action / some fighting funtime in the tunnels or.. anywhere around, if you want
[ Yuri's been pretty much all over the place, trying to facilitate everything and make sure that everyone's settled in. She's headed out twice to try to find more people already, and it's questionable as to whether or not she's actually taking any breaks or giving herself a moment to breathe. Her cell phone is constantly at her side, making sure that she can answer any texts ASAP.

Right now, she was heading toward one of the other entrances to the cave with her weapon drawn. She hadn't mentioned the other entrances in her text, mostly because she hadn't wanted to draw attention to them because the shadows would notice where people flocked. If they all went toward the most heavily guarded one, that would be better. But that didn't mean she could leave the others unchecked. ]

Anyone willing to fight & capable, I'm running a sweep of a 2nd entrance to make sure that there's nothing getting in. North-west tunnel, 15 minutes.

B. Fishing
[ There isn't much food, so since everything's rationed until they can get more down here, so Yuri's leaving any of the preserved food reserves alone and is going to head over to the stream running through some of the tunnels to try to catch some fish. She's generally pretty good at it, so long as no noisy idiots come and bother her.

Come be a noisy idiot? Or a quiet idiot? Or just come check on her? Whatever you want. ]

B because why not.

[princesadist]

[Man, he really didn't want to deal with all of this right now. Being stuck in this place, having to take shelter...is this what being dead is? Pretty sure his view of heaven has him torturing people in various ways but like hell if he's gonna get that here. So to get away from it, he figured he'd go over to the stream to chill for a bit.

Except. There's someone already here. Just his luck. He stops in place, staring at the girl for a moment, before-]

Oi. What are you doing?

[tenminutes]

Getting food.

[ Obviously. ] I'm not going to waste the supplies we have that'll last longer if I can get something here.

[ She glances over at him, over her shoulder. ] New arrival? [ After all, she recognizes most of the dead people already. ]

[princesadist]

I wasn't asking about that. It's obvious that you're getting food in the first place.

[The real question is...he's lifting up his hair to point at her hair.]

I was asking what you were doing with that on your head. It looks like someone did a bad dye job. And yeah, I'm new here.

[tenminutes]

It's my natural hair color and I don't want to hear that from a guy whose eyes are only a few shades away.

[ and if he asks her about the rug and the curtains she will fuck him up ]

[princesadist]

[Wow, did he actually get some sass back? Usually he'd expect it from someone on Gintoki's level of sadism or Hijikata's obvious hate for him. He blinks a little bit, pointing to his eyes.]

Ah, so it's one of those birth defects. I guess I can't say much about my eyes, either. Red is a nice color, isn't it? [Well hers isn't red, Sougo, but where the hell are you going with this...]

[tenminutes]

Are yours a birth defect? Because my hair is just a genetic thing. It's a normal hair color where I'm from. There are plenty of people with blue or pink or green hair too.

[ Only background characters have normal hair, loser. ]

Your color of red is fine, though there's another kind that I can't say I'm fond of.

[ Yuri's pretty sure this is the definition of shop talk. ] I'm Yuri.

[princesadist]

No, people from where I'm from have pretty weird hair colors as well. Silver, blue, red, purple...red's also a common one. Thankfully, only my eyes were hit by that.

[He doesn't want to be like China girl, oh no. Besides, his hair color is fine!!]

But if you say my color of red is fine, then I'm wondering what shade of red you aren't fond of.

[Though he can probably guess what it is already.] So, Magenta, was it? [Completely disregarding what she said...] I'm Sougo.

[tenminutes]

Then what's with the birth defect comments? [ This guy's weird. ] If you're going to give me a nickname, at least go with Yurippe. I'm not going to bother keeping track of different things and I have no problem ignoring you if you don't call me by one of those.

[onewayroad]

[Accelerator's checking out the buildings in the industrial park out of boredom when he checks the latest incoming message.

He doesn't bother to respond. Instead, he heads for the tunnel in question, still armed with the gun she'd handed to him the other day. It's debatable just how many of the people here know how to fight. He's good with a gun. His decision is that simple.

Whether he arrives there ahead of Yuri or not is up in the air.]

[tenminutes]

[ When she sees him, she's not sure if he should really be there but.. she's seen him shoot. She's not going to tell anyone that they can't. ]

You're ready?

[onewayroad]

I would've taken my time more if I weren't.

[He makes a show of glancing around for others.]

Tch, no one else bothered to show up?

[tenminutes]

It's fine. We'll retreat if it's really bad and get others.

[onewayroad]

How much ammo are we bringing with?

[he has only whatever she might have given him earlier and what's left in the gun he got from her]

[tenminutes]

How much do you have left?

[ She's figuring about two clips for each of them. It wasn't much, but they didn't have ammo to blow through on an early run. ]

[onewayroad]

You gave me the gun and you saw how many shots I made. Take a wild guess.

[tenminutes]

I wasn't exactly counting, I was kind of busy with how many I had left.

[onewayroad]

[he gives a snort]

I didn't fire many. Problem is, I don't know how many this was loaded with to begin with.

[who knows how one checks the amount of remaining ammo in a magazine? 'sides, Academy City guns and clips are probably different from whatever the ones here are like.]

[tenminutes]

I'd only fired two by the time I ran into you and it holds 15 total. Check what's left.

[onewayroad]

[he frowns and pulls out the gun, removing the magazine to inspect its weight. the weight is a bigger indicator than any visual scrutiny. Academy City weaponry and ammo are what he's used to, so using what he recalls of those to make judgments on anything from the outside world will not necessarily lead to accuracy. only now that he knows the clip only holds fifteen rounds can he match its weight with how many rounds should be remaining.]

That means I should have seven left. It sucks, but I've worked with worse before.

[tenminutes]

[ She kneels down to a bag she's got, pulling out two clips and handing them over. ]

Don't use them all unless you have to.

[onewayroad]

[reloads the half-used clip first, then takes the clips she hands over, shoving them in his pants pockets]

Hopefully that won't be necessary.

[tenminutes]

Let's get going then.

[ And with that, Yuri checks her gun briefly and starts walking into the tunnel. ]

[onewayroad]

[Wordlessly, he's right behind her, gun in hand just out of habit.]

[tenminutes]

[ At the very least, there's plenty of lighting in this tunnel. She doesn't need to bring her sniper scope to make sure they've got light. Yuri is, however, trying to keep fairly quiet, slowing down around corners and peeking with her gun first before swinging around the corner. After all, it's best to be as careful as possible.

Once she's sure they're down a long tunnel that doesn't have turns for a bit, she raises her voice to a whisper. ]

Where'd you learn to use a gun?
