NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Louie shifts at the sight of the traffic. Something bigger than us is controlling events. Earlier, in the other dimension...world...whatever I was in. I tried to go back to the hospital and something wouldn't let me. Now when we are about to drive away from the hospital there's suddenly traffic. Of course I could be crazy and this could just be traffic. Louie laughs at the thought. Somehow the thought of him being crazy is easier to accept than what he believes is real.

OCC: is this a normal hour for traffic jams in the city?
IC: Charlie looks out for possibilities of bypassing the traffic jam, such as a bus or taxi lane, or an ambulance coming out of the hospital the same way they are driving.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
There seems to be no easy way of bypassing it. The traffic jam is unusual ... but not deeply so for London. Any low-level car accident could have caused it. Though no one can see any accident within view, that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Jill remains silent, doing no more than glancing at Charlie to see how he's reacting to the traffic, and what Louie's saying.
Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Louie looks out the window at the hospital. I guess that means we need to go in there. Maybe we just need to do something before it'll let us leave. Whatever happens don't let anyone separate us. The only strength we have left is our numbers. He looks at his shotgun, and wraps it up in his cloak. He plans to take it with him.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
The traffic jam is allowing some minor movement. Other cars seem to be passing through okay.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
An old man, a pregnant woman and a woman with blonde hair coming partially loose from its bun, the strands going everywhere in a wild frizz, approach the car through the throng. Each are covered in patches of ash. The last woman's clothes are also wet with blood. She, herself, is small and frail-seeming, her face covered in lacerations, her eyes tightly shut. They seem to be heading straight for your car.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Louie keeps his shotgun low, and out of sight, but makes sure it's ready. Look at them. I doubt they want a hug. If you have a gun Charlie it's time to get it ready.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Charlie ignores Louie's comment, but keeps a close eye on the approaching trio.
OCC: can the car still turn & pull up to the hospital?

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
The car could mount the kerb and wait for them. Otherwise, no, you're trapped in a slow movement forward. None of the three appear to be armed and they are all hanging off each other in their struggle to reach the car. The man slowly waving an impromtu flag of cloth. He shouts "Survivors! Help!"

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
"Oh, they need help! She's pregnant, we have to see what we can do. And what happened to them anyway? There isn't supposed to be anything bad happening at the hospital in this reality."
Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Louie lowers his shot gun. They may have phased into this reality for the ash. That's what happened to me.Louie unrolls his window. Are you alright?

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
"They're not from here. And I doubt other people can see them, for whatever reason." Charlie says coldly "I bet they'll eventually disappear, like the one that was in the trunk."
"Or we get pulled into their world, or whatever. And then we're truly fucked..."

The man steps forward in his uniform to get noticed. He brings the ladies forward.
"Hello! My name is Bernard Cromwell, US Army, Retired. I have with me two women from the hospital in need of aid. I have Melissa, a pregnant, deaf Frenchwoman and a young lady who seems to be in shock."

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Jill turns to Charlie. "Please, they need help. They must be real, not like that thing in the trunk. Please, can we help?"
Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
"You can try." Charlie says with more than a bit of skepticism in his voice "I'm going to blow his head clean off if he tries anything though..."
"I don't see what we could possibily do to help considering how close the hospital is."

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Louie turns nervously and looks at the seat trying to see through it. What thing in the trunk. How come you never told me there was something in the trunk. Is is secure, or should I be worried. He turns, looks outside at the people, and points at the hospital. The hospital is over there. They can help you. He rolls his window up so there is just a crack separating him from the outside.

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
Bernard almost jumps out of his skin. "We just came from there. There's nobody left alive. We were lucky to get out. We scavenged what we could, but we got out as soon as possible. We could really use a ride."

Re: NOR - Jill & Charlie's thread
"They must have come from the other reality. It can't be that everyone's dead in the hospital here ... but maybe we should skip the hospital and go find this book of Louie's." Jill hops out of the car and gestures the people over. "Here, you sit up here," she says to the pregnant woman, indicating the passenger's seat. "The rest of us will have to squish."
