Werewolves

[Rooster]

"Huh," says Rooster. "One each..."

[Bocaj Claw]

"Should be enough... should be enough... ... Shouldn't we be running for our lives right now?"

[Gizensha]

"Well, we try the stretcher, and if things get too desperate for our speed then I attempt to walk it, needs of the many and all that Vulcan stuff."<br><br>He pauses...<br><br>"And Rooster, please don't talk like that. K?"

[Bocaj Claw]

Lifts up his end of the stretcher. "Come on Rooster and/or Ricard! We need to book it!"

[Rooster]

Grabbing the other end of the stretcher and taking off with them, Rooster looks back over his shoulder at Bocaj.<br><br>"What the hell does "book it" mean?"<br><br>Bocaj glares at him. "You really want me to answer than <b>now</b>?"<br><br>They carry on running.

[Bocaj Claw]

(OT or perhaps on topic: Book it is american slang (i think) which means hurry)

[Richard K Niner]

As they run up the ramp, sunlight trickles down. "It goes outside!" yells a suddenly jubilant Richard.

[Bocaj Claw]

"And it looks like we have plenty of daylight left!"

[Richard K Niner]

"We'll worry about that after we escape."<br><br>The group arrives at the top of the ramp. Straight ahead is a door leading out to what appears to be a riverbank; a two-person canoe is sitting there. The door is slowly closing, but still has a way to go. <i>How very Indiana Jones-ish</i>, thinks Richard. "If we run now, we can still make it out. Run!"<br><br>Richard breaks into a run at full speed.

[Bocaj Claw]

Bocaj and Rooster run faster after Richard. Ricard passes through the door, then Rooster, then Giz on the stretcher. As Bocaj is going through the door it suddenly slams shut on his rigt leg with a sickening crunch. Caught by the door Bocaj stumbles and drops his end of the stretcher which drags on the ground a little as it is still being half-supported by Rooster. Gizensha spills out of the stretcher onto the ground.<br><br>A minute passes or longer before Bocaj faintly utters "<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>ow</span>" and then collapses to the ground as much as the door will let him.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard reaches down, and picks up a familiar looking hat from the ground; he places it on his head, and works at trying to free Bocaj from the door.

[Bocaj Claw]

In a far too calm and conversational voice Bocaj says "Hey, you know, I think -ow- that my leg is -sssn - broken."

[Rooster]

Rooster sits Giz up against the wall and runs back to Bocaj.<br><br>"Holy Hannah!" shouts Rooster as he sees Bocaj's leg. He grabs the stretcher and jams it into the crack of the door. "Richard, gimme a hand man!"

[Bocaj Claw]

Begins whistling and occasionally wincing from pain.<br><br>"You know, I finally understand it now. This place is cursed and hates us. Whoever is watching wants us to suffer horribly before we die. Or I might be delusional... Who knows? Big Brother? What else are we going to call our little watcher?"

[Richard K Niner]

Richard and Rooster finally manage to free Bocaj's leg from the door. Richard takes a look around. The canoe clearly only sits two people; Richard wouldn't trust it with more than three. Off in the distance, the west end house sits menacingly above the shoreline. Red splotches are visible on the upstairs window; there must have been a struggle to the death in there. Richard breaks into an uphill run towards the house.
