Leroy in the End Game

[ImpInTraining]

"Something fly outside? More of these monster stories," Joel said. "What was it, Rodan? Mothera? Maybe a UFO from planet Your Anus. You guys need some serious psychological help." He hefted up his bag and looked to the men, saying "If there is anything flying out there, it's not seeing farther than a few feet... so just stay quiet as we move, and we'll be fine."

Tired of the squabbling Leroy leaves the ambulance and sets off for the gift shop.

"If anyone wants to follow me, thats fine," he says.

In the meantime hes smashed open the drug box with the axe and managed to reconise some useful medicines that he takes with him.

Joel follows, hefting his make-shift bag over his shoulder.

[Piano man]

Louie readies his shot gun and follows the other two closely.

The darkness is so thick with ash that the harsh light of the torch struggles to light things a dozen feet away. Cars with crumpled bonnets press against the dented boots of other cars. One ute had its passenger side door crumpled by a 4WD that had rammed it up onto a strip of lawn. There is a faraway monotonous sound of a horn persistently bleating, as though some heavy weight still lay upon it. The hospital walls shown aged brick - the plaster and paint having fluttered to the ground as some powerful force had peeled it.

Something skitters behind them.

[ImpInTraining]

ooc: Behind the hospital walls? Or behind us?

[Laraqua]

Behind ... you...

[ImpInTraining]

Joel puts his hand on Leroy's shoulder and says, "You hear that? Might be rats." He turns around to shine his light toward where the skittering seems to be coming from.

[Piano man]

Louie turns at the sound using the Light on the shotgun to shine the area.

"I don't think those are rats, but you're not going to believe that because we're crazy. Look around if everyone but you sees this stuff than who's wrong. Don't let your guard down."

Louie continues to scan the area not willing to be caught off guard.

[paradys]

"If someone shouts run, we should be ready to run for it..er, just in case" says Leroy trying not to sound nervous.

[Laraqua]

The skittering sounds in the opposite direction now. Was that movement behind the left front wheel of the brown station wagon?

[ImpInTraining]

"Could just be some trash being blown around. Let's get outta here before our imaginations get the best of us," Joel says impatiently.

[Piano man]

Louie looks around nervously. He knows that whatever is out there is quickly surrounding them. He shines his light all over trying to catch a glimps of what it might be.

"Uhmm......guys. I don't think that is trash. Something tells me that we should go back inside. We should'nt be wandering around out here. I might know where some more guns are inside. There is a room that is not to far from here. If we are going to try this we should be better armed."

Thinking he hears a noise to the right of him Louie snaps around pointing his gun so that his light shines.

"Ok I've had enough of this. I didn't come out here to die. I'm going back inside. Are you guys coming? I don't want to leave you, but I'm not going out there. I've seen enough to know we are being surrounded."

Not waiting for them to answer Louie slowly starts making his way back inside the hospital.

[ImpInTraining]

"See..." Joel says to Leroy, "See what mass-hysteria gets you? You start fearing shadows and jumping at noises. Which way to the gift shop?"

[paradys]

"Straight ahead" says Leroy as he carries on making his way through the cars.

[Piano man]

Louie yells out as he aproaches the hospital.

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

[ImpInTraining]

"Yeah, because the hospital is just SUCH a save place to be," Joel called back to Louie. "If you head down to the basement, give us a call and let us know what's going on down there."

[Laraqua]

Movement sounds on top of the flat bed of the ute they are passing. The tarpauline shudders as lumps press up against it from beneath. Scaffolding and support structures are revealed from where the cafe is under construction - the structure bulges out from the side of the hospital.

[ImpInTraining]

Joel urges Leroy to move faster, threatening to pass him by. He may not think there are monsters about, but he knows there are deranged lunatics loose.

[paradys]

Don't worry, Leroy is quickening his pace as we speak. He keeps shining the torch around.
