[FFRP] The Black City...

[Zoey]

Caine rubed his chin as he tried to make sense of why the imports increased so much. Either way the place was giving him the bad feeling, but this was to good an oportunity to miss. He decided to check the employe records.

((GAH))
The hordes come forward towards Jack, several being gunned down by his massive weapon. As Jack backtracks toward the humvee one gets dangerously close and scratches his kevlar, leaving a nasty gash in it (scary) before being swiss-cheesed.

The employee records revealed another interesting thing. As if simultaneously about two weeks before Addenvale's crash, all employees quit. Every reason was written in the same handwriting on the scanned photocopies of the two weeks notices: Got New Job. As if all at once, every single employee (approximately fifteen or so) had all quit.

A click behind Caine is heard. A small portable tape player spins its tracks and through a static filled speaker eerie music comes out. The shadow over him shifts a bit.

[Knight Errant]

((*gets ignored!* >:O))

[muffinstud]

(only able to be in one place at a time. don't worry. you'll have your turn.)

[Knight Errant]

Jack wonders what the hell these things are... before ducking into an alley. He could get to his car later... surviving was priority.

And the bottleneck of the narrow alley would be perfect to chew the robed creepy thingies to bits.

[Zoey]

Caine takes out his guns as he scans his surroundings. With nothing else he considers important, he left the room still alert.

[muffinstud]

Caine is interrupted by the silent hulk of a red robot floating about two feet over the floor. Despite only reaching an even 6 feet while floating, the machine regards the man with it's angry, red lens. The creepy music keeps playing.

[Zoey]

Caine slowly tries to pass by the machine. His guns ready if the machine were to be hostile.

[muffinstud]

The red robot floats closer to the computer as it unfolds one of it's many arms. A straight appendage with a small but sharp claw hangs high in the air above the computer. Almost instantly, it passes through the monitor, keyboard and desk in one fluid motion, sending sparks, glass and chunks of wood and plastic flying into the air. It never takes its gaze off him. Another arm unfolds from the other side as it brings out another like the first. The robot slowly floats towards Caine, raising the claw higher and higher.

[Zoey]

Caine steps backwards. With his two pistols he unloads both clips into the machine aiming for it's center, hoping to knock out it's processor and other vital parts.

[muffinstud]

The robot is only tipped back a little from the momentum of the barrage. Each bullet bounces harmlessly off it's red shell. The claw is in prime chopping position. The head silently swivels left and right a few times before the robot continues closer to Caine.

[Zoey]

"Oh... crap" says Caine almost laughing at the fact that he didn't do damage to it. He turns and makes a run for it, heading towards the exit.

[muffinstud]

Despite floating a little faster, Caine finds he can outrun the metal monster. It still has a bead on him. The lowered claw folds back in to be replaced by a stubby appendage with a small hole in it.

Maybe a dozen or so creatures follow in after Jack into the bottleneck while the rest are out of sight. The first wave of four or so was easily taken down but the first gave way to the second which leapt forward to Jack, their outstretched arms meaning to rip into him something fierce. That wave was also taken down, but it was the third and final wave that was right up in Jack's barrel. In the fray, Jack would feel a hot slash on his wrist just as the offender's face burst into a spray of gore.

The hanging chains and spilled meat prove gross obstacles for Kaizer to get out but he eventually finds himself out on the street again.
