The Kami smiled on Haji this day, as his plan was a rousing success. Thank goodness, he didn't want to apologize to Ariadne for coming back looking like perforated cheese.
As his tackle connected, Haji would immediately jump on the man, grabbing a fork from the nearby table as he went. Without hesitation, Haji would bring it down into the tendon in the arm that held the gun. He intended to disable the gunman, as a man crazed would likely overpower someone smaller like himself. Whether that worked or not, Haji would apply all of his weight on the man and his arm, attempting to keep the gun out of commission.
"I have him! Someone help me out!" He called out, needing to subdue this man as quickly as possible. What was this talk about monsters, though?

If he didn't know any better, Rowan would think an angel was coming to aid him. He opened his mouth to say something - anything - but nothing came out. Just blood.
Everything was getting blurry.

Not only had someone been shot, but it was someone Selena immediately recognized.
"R-Rowan?!"
The immediate danger in front of her didn't matter. The doctor ran forward and dropped to her knees, sliding over to wherever Rowan was dragged towards. If he wasn't somewhere safe, she, too, would attempt to drag him toward relative safety. Removing her medical bag out of her large tote bag, Selena removed her surgical scissors and immediately cut through his hipster shirt (brandon is too ashamed to tell me, idfk) and started applying pressure, commanding whoever might have been next to her, "Remove the other gauze from my bag. We need to slow the bleeding now."
Looking to Rowan, she forced a smile. "Rowan? It's Dr. Sullivan. Can you hear me? You're going to be alright."

Loie froze where she kneeled next to the injured man.
"N-no, please!" she cried. By some miracle, the man was neutralized before he could hurt her. She probably should've thought this through better. Loie frantically dragged the injured man behind the barricade where a blue haired woman had called out to her. Once they were safely behind the barricade she let the stranger down and laid his head on her lap. Loie burst into tears.
"Is he going to die? I thought I was going to die! This-this-it's a nightmare--"
At this point Loie was hyperventilating and could barely speak. Ariadne Dr. Selena Sullivan

After locating the maintenance hall, as soon as he turned the corner he would pull a handgun from the holster at his back.
Bingo.
It was very clear that this situation was highly organized in some form. Terrorism at it's finest. Who knew, he was still fighting the good fight after all.
He would try to react as quickly as possible, spitting two .45 caliber bullets at the right target center mass, before adjusting to repeat toward the other. His goal was to keep those two masks intact.
(Ooc: Was given permission to bang-bang.)

Seeing that Rowan was getting help, Ariadne took off her hoop earrings, tossing them aside and running towards the gunman with the intention of helping Haji. With the gunman pinned, Ariadne would attempt to pry the gun from the man's hand, making sure to keep the barrel faced away from her and Haji so that no stray bullets hurt either of them.

Nagi began to hear rattling from all around the counter after a brief period of silence. Someone was rifling around behind it, but they'd yet to check his cupboard. He was safe for now, but they were slowly getting closer.
Gidget was able to notice very little in all of the chaos! Too many people obscuring too many things, and too many coming straight for her. No clearing presented itself, but Drake was able to protect them as his bokken came down and knocked out the first woman to approach. This, however, prompted the others to swarm them, with nine women rushing from all sides, snarling and lashing out violently.
Once Leon knocked out Leon and got further in, every single person he saw... looked just like him. The mall was full of Leons, fighting each other, running away from each other. There was even a Leon on the ground, bleeding out from bullet wounds.
Haji and Ayden together would be able to disarm the man! The fork ripped through his arm, causing him to release the grip, and then he howled out in pain. "NO! I WON'T GO BACK! I WON'T! YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL ME!" he roared out, reaching up and grabbing Haji by the throat with his good hand. He was squeezing unreasonably hard - harder than a normal man should be able to. Ariadne was free to intervene, though, as the gun had already been claimed before she got there.
Ken fired off four rounds, hitting the targets he intended. Both began to bleed from their stomachs, but didn't seem to react otherwise to the shots. They pushed off the walls and began to appraoch him like they hadn't just taken two bullets a piece. The one on the left pulled a pistol out from the back of his pants and fired two warning shots that seemed to barely miss Ken, but instead hit people behind him.
Rowan was pulled off by Loie, and as Selena got to work she'd see he was losing a lot of blood. All three shots looked like they had potential to be fatal, by location.

"Idiot! Don't go rushing in alone!" Ayden used the unloaded gun to pistol whip the gunman upside the head as he strangled Haji Morei.

What was that about a man crazed and overpowering someone smaller? Oh yeah.
The gun was taken away, but there wasn't much time to celebrate. The man reached up and grabbed Haji by the throat and squeezed with intent to kill, knocking the fork from his hand. Instantly, he could feel his body gasping for air. There was no way this grip was human, and he would start slamming his fist into the man's elbow in an effort to get him off as his other hand attempted to pry his throat loose as he struggled to breathe.

Fucking. Awesome. Alright so the moment the cupboard opened whoever opened it would get an eyeful of hackjob cell-phone flashlight (1000% brightness!) and then Nagi would, using all of his considerable tactical awareness honed from plotting and assisting various crimes via security camera oversight, find a route through the crowd that kept him as out of sight as possible and moving the fuck away from the chaos.
Or to some other place to hole up. Either or.

You ever have the urge to just... Beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker. And motherfucker translates to yourself? The amount of control Leon had at this point was slipping. His psyche was fragile to begin with, but this was a whole new level for him. He would ignore the runners, the injured and bleeding, he would go to those fighting each other, and while holding himself by the leg he would then use himself as a meat flail to start beating himself up with himself. Big sweeping arcs to hit as many of himself as he can.
"Focus dumbasses, I'm in control!"

[attr="class","dialogue"] "Off of him, FUCKER."Seeing Haji in danger and without thinking, Ariadne grabbed the fork Haji Morei had originally used, and attempted to jab the fork in the man's throat, regardless of whatever the fuck Ayden Black™ tried to do.

"FUCK IT RUN!"
Drake yelled as he charged forward holding the base end of the Stanchion to slam it into the face of the person in front of him, with any luck this would knock them off balance so that he could push through them and they can make a run for it!

Selena suppressed a grimace. Rowan was losing a lot of blood. Her blue gaze quickly glanced to the one other person at her side, a blonde who had Rowan's head in her lap. The girl was hyperventilating. Understandable, of course, but it was not the time for Selena to worry about her or offer sympathy. All of her attention had to be on saving Rowan. That last thing they needed was someone passing out on the man in critical danger. And, if Rowan could hear them, the last thing he needed to hear was someone crying about him dying. "HEY!" Selena shouted loudly at the girl. If she did not respond, she would completely uncharacteristically headbutt her, as she dared not remove her hands from Rowan. Regardless, she would then order, "You either need to help me stabilize this man or step away NOW. Do you understand?!"Looking back over to Rowan, she told him in a clear but soothing voice, "Rowan, I need you to stay with us, alright? I am going to do everything I can for you."Loie Prim

She hesitated for only a moment before jumping up to follow after Drake. At this point, she had no clue where they were going or what it was they planned to do. Without a computer, she was basically useless here.
