Amid all the chaos -- At the library

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Amid all the chaos of the library, Methos remained near the front. Behind him everyone was squabbling and shuffling, trying to force themselves back or move themselves forward.

Around a corner, through the last faint smoke from the explosion of Principal Connor's office, Methos spied a slow-moving figure. "Here it comes!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, then moved forward.

Roy gritted his teeth as he heard the first moans of a zombie amidst the din. No way waas he going to die here. He wasn't going to up and die without ever even trying for the state alchemist rank.

"HERE THEY COME!" he shouts, seconding the alert.

Rogue takes a deep breath, and holds her gun over the edge of the upturned desk. She prays that Logan's training is still all there...

*From the depths of Special Collections, something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike English can be heard. Zero is swearing at the magic section.*

English! Why aren' they in bleedin' English?? Or Chinese, even! How can I flink what they're globbin' about if I can't read the squallin' language?

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*paces agitatedly back and forth, unable to find anything in a language he can manage that would be of any use whatsoever*

Edward tensed up, eyes darting around nervously. There were an awful lot of the slow-moving creatures, true, but there were a good amount of defenders in the library, most armed and all hopefully with good aim.

All the same, he was one ball of coiled alchemist, ready to spring at the nearest walking undead.

SCREAMS

*CJ's losing it in the back of the room*

*squints through the growing haze, steadying his aim on a slumped, shambling figure as opposed to Methos' quickness* Just a bit closer...

Another zombie shuffles close behind the first, lunging towards any living, breathing thing near it.

*in the third line, Hamlet tightens his grip on his rapier and dagger, planning on how to kill these misshapen creatures*

*shifting her grip on her weapons, and flexing her muscles, Callisto grinned savagely and let out her warcry (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3J1BMNWXTAE5N0NLA2G9PZYZXS) in anticipation*

Beka sees Callisto. *nods her way* "Callisto, 'Yana will be here soon. She's in a bad way. About James. I'll try to keep an eye on her. But make sure no one gets hurt because she's angry."

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

"Stupid sonofabitch!" she yells. Rogue takes aim at one of the zombies, and shoots.

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Shit shit shit! he's thinking. I can't burn anything with all these people around!

[sakuracchyan.livejournal.com]

Sakura took a few steps backward, falling in line with the others holding bladed weapons. She felt inordinately small in comparison to the others, for some reason. Regardless, she held her sword -- rather wishing it didn't look like a fencing foil -- ready.

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

It seems we're both fencers here, then. Aim for the throat and don't worry about technique; you have the best chance of killing it through there.

*Jack cracks his neck and shifts his grip on the P90 he definately didn't hide in the range his frist day here. He's calm and ready. In his element.*

*Beka appears at his side. Pulse pistol in hand, force lance in her thigh holster, blaster just through the other side of a Ghost portal.*

***GGGGRRRRRR BRAIIIIINS!!!!***

(((given the quantities attacking now a few have broken through as far as the third line around the sides)))

*Hamlet stabs the zombie through the throat with his rapier and moves in to decapitate it with his dagger. The head goes flying of the corpse.*

[[OOC: THERE'S NOW TWO BURNING ZOMBIES NEAR THE FRONT LINE.]]

[julian-lawless.livejournal.com]

*shoots steadily at one burning figure until it falls, thankfully away from the shelves of books*

Somebody get this other one before it starts moving again!

[sakuracchyan.livejournal.com]

Sakura debated summoning the firey card, taking a slash at one of the undead beasts with the sword. Then she recalled Ed's earlier comment of not wanting to burn the library to the ground, and decided against it. Instead, she continued with the sword card, hoping what little knowledge she had of use for it paid off enough to keep her and others safe.

*stumbles back here, taking out another zombie on the way with her zat*

*has nasty sword cut on left shoulder (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/131418.html?thread=4572506#t4572506)*

Ow!

Someone back here have bandages?!?

Roy gets an idea, and instead of trying to attack the moving zombies he starts to move through the crowd toward the front line. When he gets there he starts snapping his fingers and each time a focused burst of flame erupts and shoots through the air toward zombies that have already been crippled, but not killed.

Small, focused fires that he can put out as soon as the monsters die. The last thing they need is a large-scale conflagration at the only entrance/exit.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos ducks out of the way of the (literally) friendly fire, and beheads another monster, sending it Roy's way.

An approaching zombie is shambling along merrily towards the library, when it it caught from behind by a bright, searing bit of leather.

Sonia wraps the whip around the zombie's neck and pulls quickly, severing the thing's head. Dashing between a few other (wounded) monsters, she makes her way into the library, ducking to avoid being hit by any friendly fire.

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

*turns from where he has just decapitated another zombie*

Impressive technique. I didn't think you could do that with a whip.

[thedarkchylde.livejournal.com]

Illyana stumbled in through the door. Her shirt is torn in several places and she's covered in blood and gunk. In one hand she's holding a glowing sword.

"Beka?! Callisto?!"

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

'Yana. Over here!

*studies the sword*

Nice weapon. Got your back sis. Move!

*sits on the front desk, eating cotton candy*

Edward peers out the door, glancing around the darkened campus. There are still a few live ones twitching about the library, but they seem well in hand. It looks clear, for the moment.

"It looks like we've got'em all," he calls back over his shoulder, not seeing any more immeadiate danger.

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Rogue stands up, and reloads her gun. "We should pile the dead, er, more dead ones in the hall. I might help slow them down." She holsers her gun and grabs her knife. "Who's helping?"
