The young man grabbed her jacket, and rather tightly, and then nodded several times in agreement. "Hurry..these things are horrible! Why waste time? We should scram..." He suggests hurredly, and grabs for her arm quietly. She'd see another ghost wafting about in the darkness somewhere in the back of the building, drifting mindlessly as if it had yet noticed her.

Ben looked around wildly. What was Alex yelling about? Had they encountered the demon-woman? He waved his torch-staff around in the air, hoping to ignite any ghost that happened to come near, because he'd suddenly realised that he shouldn't look around more than absolutely necessary. Ben- "What thing? Alex wouldn't warn us if it wasn't dangerous!"

Patti ran to the locked cabinet where they kept the GPS devices. She smashed the glass with her hammer and started flipping the boxes over and tossing them aside. The third one she thrust into her duffel bag. "I'm ready." She ran to the broken window, holding the flare out in front of her. "Let's go."

Alex looked around wildly and noticed Patti and Ben's torches not too far away. He patted Ashley's arm again and started heading towards the second group. "If this is anything like Cornish college, heavy things will start flying like they're caught a directed tornado. And there's a slim chance in hell that we'll be able to dodge in the dark with a hundred ghosts peeling from the shadows." Derek- "Well I guess that answers my question. This fucking shopping trip is over."

Ben followed Patti, but tried to keep Tarina between the two of them, partly to keep an eye on the guy, but mostly to keep him safe between the two flares. Ben looked around to see where Derek's torch were. Was everyone getting out safely?

((OOC: Not so fast guys)) As they headed towards the front, it seemed farther and farther away, a chill wind picked up and the racks of clothing, food and equipment began to move. The store had been like a sea of goods before, and now they flew here and there, blocking the direct line of site. And then, the flashlights went out, even the flares, just as well as if they had been blown out. It was pitch black, and worse, there was a bang in the front, and through the noise they heard a soft groaning of something else. They were so close, but so far away. "I can't see a damn thing. Stay close, and don't swing, we're all here. Patti!" Patti and Tar were on the other side together somewhere, though he hoped she could hear him in the darkness. He wanted to go back for her when the others were safe. He rushed and felt the blood go to his head, his heart pounded as they pushed through the darkness and racks entirely blind. Something hit Ashley and he was sure it was a very awake, and very aggressive zombie. It grabbed his arm and then reached up to choke him. "!!" "She's here! Shit shit!.." Patti's torch went out, but her bags are full. She got what she came for, but at a higher price than she had hoped. They were in darkness, and from this far away she had glimpsed zombies wandering in before her torch and all the others were extinguished like candles in a wind. Tar grabbed her arm hard, but the wind picked up,like a tornado inside of the building, and Tar was struck in the darkness with a shelf. "AH!"

Darkness. A fierce panic overwhelmed Alex, and he started sprinting ... and ran straight into a wall. "OOOW!" He shouted with pain and stumbled back, bumping into either Ashley or Derek. Alex clutched the person to steady himself (he felt dazed - his face hurt, too), and the person's arm fell off. It had been dangling by a thread of muscle. He was hugging a zombie. "AAH!" Alex swung out to punch the devil puppet. He struck something solid - good - but was now alone, disoriented, surrounded by ghosts, and being pelted by knick knacks. "ASHLEY, HELP!" Derek's voice- "Everybody stop being retarded! Fuck!"

Ben- "Oh crap." Ben couldn't remember if the darkness the others had described at the Cornish place had actually extinguished their torches, or if it had only made them impossible to see. He quickly hauled in his staff and cautiously felt with his fingertips if the flame was still burning hot.

Patti's hesitation had cost them their escape. If they lost anyone... no. Fuck! It wasn't exactly like she dreamt it, but it was happening. There were ghosts everywhere but she couldn't see them and she had no fire. She pulled her flare close to her face to see if she could feel the heat or hear the sizzling sound, or if it had just completely gone out.

Her flare is on, but it is not making any light, both she and Ben notice. Tar, meanwhile, has fallen behind and Patti realizes she is alone. She can hear him crying out somewhere in the darkness, but she can't tell where he is. "You bastards! Why are you torturing me like this?!" He punches the zombie who is trying to strangle him in the face. "Come out and fight me like a man you fucking monster! Come get some!" His voice increased in pitch with his fear and anger, and more zombies seemed to zero in on him, as he punched and kicked them. He threw a zombie in the darkness against something, and one clawed him in the face. How many were around him? How did they sense him? "Alex I'm coming!' He kicked a zombie where he imagined its balls would be, but was met with only a squish in the dark. A shelf fell over near him and pinned a few of his friends. "Patti! New Guy! Where are you?" Ashley's cry seemed strangely far away to Patti. Tar said something somewhere, very far away.

Ben- "OK! Torches are still burning! We just can't see them!" Ben didn't really know what to do in the darkness. But he started to wave his torch-staff around in the air to create a fire-hazard for any ghosts that might be taking advantage of the situation. While doing so he also tried to home in on Patti's voice, but it felt hopeless. Apparently this demon could alter space? Hadn't Micah passed out before he was rescued? Whose voice hadn't they heard in a while?Ben- "DEREK?! Are you out there?"

Derek's voice- "YEAH! Start counting or something and I'll come to your voice! I'll keep my arm out so I don't bump into you with my flare!"

Ben- "Shit, don't worry about that. Worry about ghosts! I'll crouch, so wave your flare around all you want!" Ben tried to guesstimate how far away Derek was, and how far away everyone else seemed to be. Once Derek seemed to be close enough, Ben planned to go down one one knee, with his torch-staff still making lazy circles in the air."ONE! Two! ONE! Two! ONE..."

Ashley waded towards where Alex's voice was coming from, and tried to pay attention. He did much the same as Derak had suggested. He could smell...something very close to him, and kept waving...and then, suddenly his clothes were on fire suddenly. "!!" He dropped and rolled around and flaming, rolling portions of ghost flew everywhere. Meanwhile, Ben's torch seems to catch something, and VERY close. It goes ablaze like a paper balloon.

"I lost Patti. PATTIIII. AHHH!" He screams as he touches something. He doesn't seem to have a weapon. They here him crashing into things in panic, which makes him seem more panicked. In the meanwhile, Derek bumps into a zombie who wants something more than touch.
