Nagi's eye twitched at the sound of static over the phone, breathing through his facemask.
"Fucking... Useless ass..."
Immediately, he would instead dance his fingers across his touch screen, looking for any wifi signal from ANY of the stores, guest or otherwise, password protected or not. If password protected, he would immediately go to work cracking that password crap and move on.
Once wifi has been acquired, Nagi would contact the police through an internet call instead. And would keep calling every damn precinct within range, and also flood their email accounts and IM services.
If Nagi can't acquire wifi, he will instead move to the nearest cover that will hide him from sight and violence of all the crazy people, watching for a way out of this bullshit cliche dead rising crap.

Ayden had made his way behind the counter of one of the food vendors when he heard the gunshots. His eyes widened for a second. He quickly shoved down his anxiety before grabbing the microphone for the order announcement PA system. He cranked the volume up before speaking into it.
"There's a gas leak in the vents, everyone should cover your mouths and evacuate immediately!"

Loie's stomach lurched when she realized her efforts were in vain. She stood up and peered over her hiding spot in time to see a young man get shot. Multiple times. Loie's scream was muffled by her cardigan and before she knew it she was running to the man's side. The girl tied her cardigan around her waist and attempted to drag him somewhere away from the other people and the shooter. Rowan Altambra |

"Oh HELL no!"
Drake said, he wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not, but just in case. Fuck. That. He would turn around, grabbing Gidget and run to the nearest Service entrance to get into the uncrowded back hallways of the mall that connected the stores.
"Keep close!"

Post by Haji Morei on Jun 20, 2020 4:13:05 GMT
Haji looked on in absolute shock as the man who tried to defuse the situation got shot. This was deathly serious, and there was no telling from here if his wounds were fatal or not.
He looked at Ariadne, gulping as he gave her a look as if to suggest he was going to try and do something about this. He just hoped it wasn't the last time he would see her.
The man had just fired his gun, and was likely very distracted, so Haji would use this to make his move. He would try to sneak around, realizing the hostage the man held limited his options greatly. As he passed by a table, Haji would grab a butter knife from on top of it. It wasn't an ideal throwing weapon, at least if he was using the sharp end. But due to the way the utensil was weighed, it should serve his purposes.
As Haji sneaked as close as he could quietly, once he was within a safe distance, he would throw the knife as hard as he could at the man's head, or face if he turned around at all. This would hopefully leave an opening for Haji to come in and tackle the gunman, with the intention of either wrestling the gun away or pinning the man down so someone could come help. |

There was a stampede of people and Selena felt herself knocked to the ground. She curled up and scooted herself until she was beneath a nearby bench or a nearby store, anyplace that might provide cover. When as safe as she could be, the doctor attempted to dial 911, but heard static instead. Instinctual fear spread through her and tears welled in her eyes. 'My god, this is a coordinated attack, isn't it?'
If there was any sort of break, Selena would push herself up and head towards the nearest exit. There were probably blockers inside stopping the calls. They needed to get the authorities involved!
If she recognized anyone, she would seek them out and attempt to get them to head to safety with her.
Fuck you, Selena, grab some scissors or a scalpel from your fuckin' bag! Dx
Edit: That was, until she heard three gunshots in succession. While fear coursed through her, the medical professional headed towards the shots, knowing she was probably the best shot at stabilizing someone if they had been hit.

[attr="class","dialogue"]
"What the fuck--" Ariadne gasped as she saw Rowan get shot twice. A part of her wanted to run out and help him, another part was afraid that the same thing would happen to her. She knocked over the nearest table, forming a really shitty barricade between her and and the gunman who'd shot Rowan.
She saw Haji run off, and worried as she was, she knew she had to do something.
She saw Loie run to the boy, and Ariadne called out. "Hey, get him over here!" Some protection was better than being out in the open, and a table was better than nothing.

"Mhm."
Ken would waste little time. To be honest, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to leave Leon here alone amidst the chaos that had just broken out. However, he would obey.
He would begin to push further into the mall eyes scouring for any off shoot corridors. There would definitely be roof access for maintenance purposes. He would look to move swiftly and defensively as he would attempt to maneuver through the crowd.

She didn't take the punch well and fell to the floor shocked at she fact she was hit so hard.
It was in her next instinct to scurry into a run and leave before she got a second lick.

Nagi would find no signal at all! None of the typical wifi signals seemed to be working throughout the mall. Nothing was getting through, no matter what he tried with that phone. He did, however, manage to find a cupboard to hide in behind a counter where no one seemed to be ransacking anything.
Drake and Gidget would only get so far before they seemed to be getting closed in on by a circle of people who seemed to look exactly like the first woman, all bleeding out of their mouths as they approached. "Help..." one spoke, reaching out to try and grab Drake.
Ayden was able to find his way through the crowd and get to a PA system, and his announcement seemed to just make the already panicking crowd panic even further. After he blinked, however, he'd see what looked like everyone bleeding from their eyes. He could also feel blood running down his own cheeks.
Selena would get there just in time to see the man frantically point his gun at Loie as she went up to help Rowan. "HEY! NO! I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR MASK! YOU THINK I WON'T SHOOT YOU CUZ YOU LOOK LIKE A KID?! I WON'T LET Y-" the man's speech was interrupted as a butter knife flew through the air and hit him in the head, causing him to stumble to the side as blood ran down his temple. His wife immediately bit his hand, then reeled back and headbutt him to break free and run. With the distraction provided, Loie would be able to drag Rowan's body over toward where Ariadne directed. With the man on the ground, Haji was able to tackle him, though he wasn't able to get the gun just yet. "MONSTER! HOW MANY OF YOU ARE THERE?!"
Ken would find maintenance access on the bottom floor, but amidst all the chaos, there were two men guarding the door, both wearing gas masks.
Leon would be able to take some men down, but eventually he was shoved inside. Once he did, he managed to bring one in with him, but this man looked just like him. As the doors locked, he grinned down at himself. "It's happening again," Leon said to Leon.
Faythe was able to scurry away, but could hear the pitter patter of chase beginning from behind.

Leon would try to put himself in a choke hold by turning him around and going for a rear naked choke.
"Nope, no. No... NO. Hell no. Nope. Nuh-uh. No."
He would continue saying differing variations of no until the other him was unconscious so he could drag him around with him and see what is going on.

Ayden put a hand up to his temple and looked at the blood on his hands.
"Shit..."
But he swiftly leapt over the counter when he saw an opening. Ayden would attempt to pull the gun away from the gunman. If he was successful, he would quickly remove the clip and dechamber the round that was already in it.

Of all the days for Drake to not have his Bokken on him. He looked around and saw a Stanchion sign that was offering some "GREAT AMAZING DEAL AT-" but he didn't care to read it as he snagged that shit and swung hard at the nearest person!
"Gidget, get behind me and the moment you see a clearing point it out and we will book it!"

Well then, the only solution for the moment was to stay inside the cupboard until an opportune moment showed to GTFO. In the meantime, out comes the handy dandy multi-tool, and rapid technology hacks to turn his flashlight on his camera to have a much much MUCH higher output to flash people horrifically if they try something, at the cost of battery life per use, constantly glancing up to watch the chaos unfold until he could find a way out. He may not be athletic, but he's intelligent and perceptive. Just need to pick the right moment.
He has spare batteries in his pockets, along with cables for said batteries. He'll be fine.

Post by Gidget on Jun 20, 2020 4:26:57 GMT
Gidget crouched down behind him, careful to keep her jacket over her mouth. She looked around, trying to pay as much attention to her surroundings as she could. She might not be able to fight, but maybe she'd be able to help Drake out a little bit.
