[considers a moment, then sets the drink down and picks up a can of spray paint]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ It feels good to be holding the spray paint. It feels like you should paint something... ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[not really sure what to do with the mutants vs. non-mutants issue, so just starts spray painting a simplistic picture of this guy]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ Well, it looks badass, anyway. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[I'M HELPING maybe]

[is it possible to check behind the counter?]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ It is, but it doesn't look like there's anything back there. Not even food. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[not even a backdoor?]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ There is a backdoor, but it leads you back to the town plaza where you started. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[...huh.]

[lets go see the town hall]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ As you mount the gleaming steps to the town hall, the smell of blood hits you. It’s weak, at first, but the closer you get to the building’s front entrance, the stronger it becomes. It doesn’t seem like anything great is waiting for you inside. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[...cautiously opening the door anyway.]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ Weren’t you walking up the steps to get into the building just a second ago? Now you’re clearly in a basement room—a makeshift hospital, by the looks of it. There are several cots lined up against the walls, their sheets turned down as if waiting for someone to occupy them. It’s obvious that someone had been trying to keep the place clean until recently, but now… Now there are medical supplies scattered everywhere, and worst of all, there are dead kids lying on the floor, lined up in rows, like tiny fallen soldiers. Their eyes stare sightlessly at the ceiling. A sick sense of acknowledgment hits you—these kids died because of something you did. At the same time, you don’t necessarily feel guilty. It’s just the truth. ]

[stepping further into the room, but he can't take his eyes off the kids on the ground]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ Most of the kids look like they've been partially eaten, chunks of flesh torn away. Others seem to have died from some kind of illness. None of them look older than fourteen, and some are as young as preschoolers. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[...are there enough cots that each kid could be placed onto one?]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ Yes, there seem to be. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[going to start carefully putting kids on cots and covering them with sheets...]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ With every kid you cover up, you feel a greater sense of relief. You're glad you don't have to look at them anymore... to acknowledge them. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[...cautiously peels back the cover from one of the youngest kids.]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ It feels like a good thing to leave some of the kids visible. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[we'll stick with leaving the younger kids visible then]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ The room seems cleaner now, and the sense of relief is still with you. ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[that's good...i think]

[lets try and clean up the supplies a bit too, if they're still scattered]

Re: perdido beach

[itsjustafayz]

[ Now the room seems more organized! ]

Re: perdido beach

[grade3enabler]

[...good. that should do.]

[heading back out to the plaza, and going to the more shady part of it.]
