Nagi found flesh, and blood sprayed out. Only... it was black. The figure he stabbed would grab his face, and a black mist began to spray out. After it did, the next time Nagi blinked, his assailant would be gone, and a dead body would be on the floor just outside of the cupboard.
Haji stabbed the man in the eye just as Ayden shot him in the head. THe bullet sailed through and the grip on Haji was released. The body stumbled forward, before standing upright. It turned to look back at Ayden, and them and Ariadne now could see a hole going clean through the skull. "Спасибо," the dead body spoke out in an empty tone. The blood ceased to pour, and the man began to walk away. Black mist began to pour off of him, and the three would see what looked like his body was... multiplying, as he walked.
Selena would feel no response from Rowan. As she called out, eventually, some people came to her aid and would help as she directed, but the boy was no longer breathing.
Leon got a laugh out of Leon. The man was rolled off, and as Leon got to his feet, he'd see other Leon catch himself in a somersault before standing up. "Have you really?" This other Leon began to reverse in age, back to his prime years. It was like staring straight at the old Lightning Dragon. "Prove it."
Ken saw a body slowly rise up after he shouted. It was vaguely familiar, but through the blood and maiming... he couldn't tell exactly who it was. "You did this to us," it managed slow, through blood and tears. "It's only fitting... that you join us."
Drake was able to get Gidget out of there, but was eventually tripped and stopped by a man with a golf club. This man rose it overhead and looked to smash it into Drake's head once he hit the ground.
Loie would find silence from the chaos for a moment, before a hand fell to her shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. You're gonna be alright." If she looked to the one who spoke, it was a man in a gas mask, pointing some strange contraption straight at her face.

 "Fucking idiot." Ayden grabbed Haji Morei by an arm and helped him to his feet. "GET HIM OUTTA HERE!" He shouted back towards Ariadne before running off after the man. He couldn't tell if his vision was blurring or if this man was really multiplying but he threw a haymaker at the back of one of their heads. |

Drake kicked hard straight up. Right to the family jewels! He would then attempt to snag the Golf club and swing it to knock the man upside his head!

"Cocky fucker."
Leon would advance quickly, arms up in a boxers cage as he hunched in bobbing back and forth before shooting a quick left jab for younger Leon's face opening his hand last second to try and cover his vision before throwing a low right for his diaphragm, pulling his left back to help twist his body with the feint.

... Well damn. Someone just died.
Thank you all those many many years of violent gorey graphic video games, movies, tv...
Also the past few years of arranging criminal undertakings which sometimes resulted in violence...
.... Nagi might have some minor sociopathic issues. Questions for later.
Step 2! Plug phone in mobile charger to try using again next time, carefully pat down body for a better weapon while staying low and out of sight, never dropping the now bloody multi-tool in case someone else needs to get fucking stabbed. Also yes worry about whatever black mist and blood bullshit just happened but if the world still makes some coherent sense focus on the staying alive and unharmed bit.
Stay smart. Stay aware. Fucking stab anyone who tries shit because Nagi is NOT visiting the hospital today!
... Would break his little siblings' hearts.

"What the hell makes you think we can afford this?"
"I'm not saying you need to pay for it. I'm just trying to show you some stuff I-"
"So you go on this trip because you wanna be spoiled. Now I can't get Kenny's sax fixed. Mel's gotta get a suit for his performance this weekend. Guess they should both miss out because you can't think of anyone but yourself."
"Would you listen? The money's taken care of. It's just -"
Slap.
"Did you fucking steal from me Rowan?!"
Silence.
"You better not have taken my fucking money!"
Slap.
"And don't you EVER!"
Slap.
"Talk back to me again!"
Slap.
...
...
"Maybe I am a little tired."

Fortunately, some people started to assist Selena, but she quickly noticed Rowan stopped breathing and her eyes widened.
"ROWAN! Don't you dare! You've got to stay with me!"
With that, the doctor began to perform chest compressions, attempting to restart his heart as the others still applied pressure to his wounds. It would undoubtedly result in some of his ribs cracking and breaking, but if it meant he survived, that's all that mattered. Selena would do everything in her power to stabilize and save Rowan!
"Damn it! Rowan, come back to us!"

This isn't real.
It's not.
Loie repeated these words in her head and rocked back in forth. She managed to detach from reality for a brief moment before someone touched her shoulder. Loie jerked away and turned towards the stranger. Her gaze snapped to the foreign contraption and she held her hands up. He seemed to be attempting to reassure her, but the mask and what she could only assume was a weapon only struck more fear into her heart.
"I-It's not a mask--I'm not a monster--!" Loie jumbled her words, unable to formulate a clear thought. |

"..Ff- Anything I've.. done.. I've done b-because I HAD TO!"
His eyes opened, a body form from what seemed to be relative to the bloody past he had. He couldn't put a name to the voice or form, because there were too many victims to count. For every person he may have saved in his past, who knew how many died from the fruits of his labor.
"..I'm sorry."
His words came out as he forced himself to his feet, fingers curled tightly into fists. His eyes would fixate upon the form and shake his head slowly.
"But I'm not dying today.. I'll kill you all again if I have to!"
This time he moved first, running straight for the form and attempting to punch it as hard as he could.

Post by Ariadne on Jun 20, 2020 5:38:37 GMT
[attr="class","dialogue"] Ariadne would've been paralyzed in fear, watching this man walk away with a bullet in his head and multiplying, if it weren't for two things. 1) she has too much adrenaline to sit still and 2) she remembers seeing far weirder things in her drunken party nights. Ultimately? She had to prioritize getting Haji Morei to safety, and checking his wounds, not running after a foreign-speaking ghost. As Ayden Black™ called to them, Addy would do a really terrible and quick salute. "KILL IT DEADER." Whatever the fuck this was, it was no longer human. She'd attempt to help Haji up with the shoulder that seems less fucked up, letting him lean on her if he needed to. "Hey Haji?" She spoke, "I'm... kinda scared. But we're going to be okay, right? We're going to be fine."She'd help him near over to where Dr. Selena Sullivan was, knocking down another table to act as an additional barrier so that Haji could potentially get help, and so that Ariadne could potentially help Selena however she could.

Faythe grabbed something slender near by hard or soft she didn't think it mattered and she would spot the approached and wait until they were within reach. She was a tall woman even if slender her plan would hopefully work.
She would leap from their behind and wrap the object around their neck and pull it to her chest to try and choke them out before they had the chance to do anything to her.

Post by Haji Morei on Jun 20, 2020 5:45:28 GMT
Haji watched in shock as the man was shot in the head right before him. But that wasn't even the worst part. He... or it, got up and spoke some foreign language before walking away, as if the bullet had done nothing. And if that wasn't enough, it looked like there started to be more of him? It was enough to cause him to temporarily forget about his pain, until Ariadne lifted him up.
He gritted his teeth, wanting to scream when his arm moved at all. It was definitely busted. He took a deep breath, sweat on his forehead and blood trailing near his lip as he took a moment to compose himself.
"Yes... We will. You are fine, so I have no regrets for what I did." He said to her before she helped him along. He couldn't let himself be out of the fight yet. Whatever that thing was, the man who saved him was not yet safe.
He let himself be set down, but he only intended to take a break. He needed to get back into the action soon enough, but first, maybe he should get his arm wrapped up... he also looked around the area, seeing if he could see anything at any visible store that resembled a sword, umbrella, anything. He had to turn things in his favor if it went south. |

Nagi couldn't find any of his stuff on him. Phone? Cords? Batteries? All gone. When he went to search the body, it appeared to be a young woman, eyes still wide with fear. It looked like all of her teeth had been ripped out. Whoever this was, it wasn't who he'd stabbed in the face. There were two other dead bodies behind the counter, but no one else looking to hurt anyone.
Leon's punches were easily both pushed aside by his younger self. "You're slow," he replied, before stepping up and smashing an elbow into his face. He slid forward with his right foot, turning left and throwing a right hook to Leon's ribs from there.
Drake was able to hit the man in the nuts! But unfortunately, it seemed to do almost nothing. With a shriek, the man swung, and the golf club would strike down across his face, leaving a gash where it hit. The man immediately lifted it, intent on doing it again!
The man smiled as Loie tried to speak, calmly trying to reassure her. "Hey, no, it's fine. I just need you to relax. Face your fears and get over it - next thing you'll know, you're home. Now, breathe deep." With that, he pressed a button on this thing, and black mist began to spray out violently in Loie's direction.
Still no breathing from Rowan, despite Selena's efforts. With the aid of who came to help, they handled the bleeding, however. It was clear he wasn't dead, not yet, but there were still many problems to be addressed.
Ken was able to punch the figure hard enough that its body crumbled from the force, collapsing on the ground with a shrill cry that would hurt him as much as he hurt it. Next time he blinked, there would be that same figure again, and another one adjacent to it. "You killed us!" they cried, before charging him.
Ayden's elbow would hit nothing! As it connected with the body, it simply vanished into black mist that would envelop Ayden entirely, before dissipating. Haji and Ariadne would be able to get away to safety, and the former could see there were many objects fitting those descriptions all over the place. He just had to get to them. The man, however, simply walked to the doors as if nothing had happened.
Faythe was able to get behind the person, as they passed her, and choke them with a small metal bar. Before too long, however, they seemed to overpower her, reaching back to grab her arms and bucking to flip her over them and slam her onto the ground in front of them. From there, she could see a man in a gas mask. "Gotcha, bitch," the man laughed.
Everyone who wasn't affected by this mist would now begin to hear sirens from outside, as well as shouting into a megaphone. The words were unintelligible for now.

"... I am not getting paid enough for this shit. Fuck real life/VR beta testing..."
Tightening his grip on his trusty multi-tool, Nagi would ease back towards the cupboard, leaning against it and listening. Going back in would be a dead end situation, and while he may be lacking in physical ability, some movement is better than none.
... Fuck this day man. Maybe Gears had a point about leaving the house? Not that he'll ever admit it to her. The gloating would NEVER STOP...

"What the fuck..."
Ayden had felt a little guilty pulling the trigger, but he was really beginning to wonder if this guy was killable. Realizing all of the copies were making their way to the door, Ayden would chase after and throw a punch at the one in the lead's back.
