❄ twelfth reminder

[echidna]

[ highway ; early morning ; open ]

[ As far as awakenings go, this one is definitely ranks up there for most unpleasant. If the sound of trucks rumbling by weren't enough, the dull pain from the previous day has turned intense. She's quiet, temporarily uninterested by investigation by looking for somewhere to hind, finding a little hole in some nearby rubble to crawl into. The crawling is far more literal than she would like, and when she pulls up the legs of her pants she can see quite clearly why that is.

The swelling has increased significantly, her legs looking some horrible mess of black and purple. She pokes at them, like the two dead things they are, and barely feels it. ]

Oh no...

[ streets ; evening ; closed ]

[ She's not even sure how she's made it this long, or this far. Her legs barely work, and it takes everything she has to keep moving, to get from hiding place to hiding place. She's breathing heavily, and it seems like she won't be making it to her next one. All she can do is hold her breath and hope those things don't notice her. Maybe she'll get lucky. Maybe. ]

[Two full days without any sopor whatsoever has filled him with an unusual amount of energy and alertness, too much to simply remain passively waiting in a shelter without knowing where his friends are and whether they're safe. More importantly, it's also given him a tremendous headache, and he's managed to get himself quite lost looking for them.

The throbbing gets pushed aside though when he sees Jade and rushes over to her.]

Hivesis! Fuck, I'm glad you're okay. We gotta get our abscond on outta here.

[Nearby her hiding place, Finn is locked in battle with one of the monsters, using a long stake to block himself momentarily. He kicks it in the gut and punches it in the face, knocking it over.]

Haha! You're not as tough as you look!

[While gloating, the monster grabs him by the leg and pulls it out from underneath him, causing him to smack down onto his back. He yelps as it bites onto his leg, gnawing on it. He uses his stake to stab it in the chest and it lets go of his leg to scream. It then falls over, bleeding to death. He flops onto his back and pants a little, tired from fighting.]

[Goddammit. What are you still doing out here Jade. Pokey isn't going to lie: he's kind of annoyed. Worried, but annoyed. He told you. He told you. He so frickin' told you.

Once he gets a good chase, he's running over to you.]

Jade? What are you still doing here?
