[4-14] The Town

[Karl Jak]

End of Round 9

Colonel, Abner, and Trent stumbled out from the alley into a wider street.  The trio immediately heard what sounded like a younger man’s voice booming from down the road to their left.  After a few moments, they saw that it was coming from speakers outside a large building, but before they had much time to react, a chorus of wailing screams rose up in that direction.

Thoughts swirled in their heads as they realized that they had swarms of the creatures approaching from their rear and their right.  To their left, the mob seemed a little thinner, which seemed to have something to do with the flashes of red they could see in the distance.

Amber knew something was wrong.  She felt it burning in her veins within a few moments.  A horrible scream escaped her lips as she suddenly went still on the ground.

“Are you okay?”  Carmelita asked, concern evident on hear features as she maintained her grip on the weapon.  Amber didn’t move, and worse than that, the police officer noted the presence of blood starting to pool around her companion’s down-turned visage.  “Amber?”

Carmelita’s posture softened as she dropped the weapon and crouched down next to her friend.  “Amber?”  A response came when the back of Amber’s head smashed against the fox’s nose.  As Carmelita stumbled backwards, her hand clasped over her bleeding face, she looked up as Amber’s snapped apart the bindings and turned to face her ally.  The faunus was bleeding from her eyes, nose, and mouth as she snarled at Carmelita.

With a screech, Amber lunged at her friends throat.

Gin and Remi – Your sanctuary is undersiege.  Your recording was heard by Colonel, Trent, and Abner, who obviously can decide what they want to do.

Carmelita takes 1 point of accumulated damage.

Amber rolled a ‘3.’  You have two options – Die or Give in.  Dying will obviously kill you.  Giving in will finish Amber’s transformation in a ‘super’ ghoul.  It’s your call.  PM or Skype me.
