voice; action for SSS members

[tenminutes]

SSS members: headquarters to pick up arms. Now. I have enough for each of you. If the shadows are going to start appearing again, I want all of you ready.

We're not going to Guild this time. We're standing and fighting and defending anyone who can't, that stupid NPC they're after or otherwise. If you can't fight, you're taking a weapon just in case. Don't do anything stupid and run if you have to. Those of you who can't fight, come talk to me right away.

[ Yuri sighs, her voice taking on a singsong tone, like she's trying to act like it's not a huge problem. After all, if everyone's terrified then it only makes things worse. ]

I've had it up to here with that stupid boy NPC's face, he should've stayed gone after I shot him in that dumb mug the first time!

{{ OOC NOTE: After a certain amount of time during this post, any threads that remain on the network will get cut off. Yuri's going to get turned into an NPC. Anyone is welcome to switch to action at that point. I'll specify a different location in each thread if your character wants to run into her! }}

Oh, a bat is better than nothing. Let's go get one from the baseball area, we can stick some nails in it. Hopefully they won't get too close, but it's better than nothing.

[rumorbound]

All right.

[nail bats are seriously from before her time, so all it brings to mind is the image of a crudely constructed mace or something along those lines.]

I can probably spare one grenade for emergencies. Just make sure that you throw it far enough away right after you pull the pin, got it?

[ Yuri's leading the way down to the sports fields. ]

[rumorbound]

Ah... hopefully that wouldn't be necessary.

[and Yuuko's following her!]

How bad are these shadows?

[tenminutes]

They're harder to make but once I accidentally blew up the science lab it got easier.

[ She looks at her. ]

If they get you, they take your memories and your personality away. You'll be like one of the NPCs.

[rumorbound]

[How Yuuko feels about that is written across her face.]

...For good?

[you can hear the worry in her tone.]

[tenminutes]

I don't know how to fix it unless we destroy the system or it gets reset.

[rumorbound]

I see.

...I'd like to be as prepared as possible. Becoming an empty shell is something I can't let happen again.

[tenminutes]

Again..?

[ Yuri repeats the word, but doesn't wait for an explanation. ]

Either way, we'll get you set up with something. Try to stay around other people too. Numbers are easier to escape in.
