Nurse Alex treated injuries with bandages and disinfectant in the courtyard.[/i] "So, this mission has been rough, but don't worry! My dorm's on the horizon. You know, I have a baseball bat signed by everyone on the high school team AND Michelle Kwan. If that's not magical, I don't know WHAT is." He didn't want to overwork the dream team, though. Filled with near-death adrenaline, Alex was eager to move, but the others didn't look so excited.
[/i] "Hey, are you guys feeling okay enough to continue?"

Micah was itching to go too. He looked slightly annoyed, but only because he was growing sick of waiting.
He didn't think a haunted cathedral was a cool place to hang out. Where had all those dark ghosts come from anyway? It seemed a little odd now that he thought about it, why wait until they found the relics?The Kyle dude had said ghosts were stupid fucks and that shit took planning. Maybe he was just over thinking it."Ready to fucking roll, no worries."

And so they continued on the perilous journey to Seattle University. What wondrous sights unfolded during the brief trip! Zombies strung to trees, still kicking, like macabre ornaments. Human scavengers with crude weapons and haunted expressions. Violent and rude graffiti. Barriers fashioned from rubbish and sharp glass ...
In fact, just one block from campus, a prickly barrier blocked the road. It was built from cheap wooden desks, garbage, metal scraps, and broken bottles. There were also random used syringes poking outta here and there. Major health risk! Alex was afraid he'd catch tetanus just standing downwind of the pile.
Fortunately, a car incorporated into the wall served as a crude gateway. One could open the passenger door, crawl through, and exit safely out the driver's door.
As the group approached, a woman cracked open a window in the nearby building, second story. [/i] "You four! Answer a question, and we'll unlock the car." She pointed at the car. A piece of paper was taped to its window. It read:[/i] What is luv and why is it important?
"Hahaha! Cutest demon test ever! Somebody else answer - I'm drawing a blank." Actually, he just didn't want to act sappy in front of Anna. Alex really didn't care about impressing Richie or Micah, though.

Micah had been flinching at every odd sound. He felt like some rich arse guy who'd taken a wrong turn and ended up in a bad arse neighbourhood, a really fucked up bad arse neighbourhood . Clearly they'd gone off their fucking trees here. He really didn't want to see how the yuppies had faired, those were people just waiting for an excuse to go completely unhinged.
When they reached the barrier, Micah nervously eyed the sharp needles and glass. It looked clean enough in the sense there was no great splashes of dried blood. That was a good omen, right?
He looked dubiously at the little sign, how old were these pricks? Twelve? “No fucking clue, never heard of it. Must be an American thing...”
He smiled weakly at Anna and Richie, gesturing for one of them to answer.Then he strolled over to Alex and spoke quietly.“How much drugs did they fucking use at your school? Or are those all for fucking steroids?”

"Yeah. No drugs. I wish you could have seen this place before the apocalypse, Micah. It was so vibrant, friendly, and clean!" Obviously, the world viewed through Alexvision was an interesting place.
The woman ducked out of view for a moment and then returned with an answer.
[/i] "Everybody says something. It doesn't have to be long. We want to know what kind of people you are."

The question is 'What is love?' I say, baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me no mo'."
Richie- "Oh yeah, Night at the Roxbury. Um... But seriously. I guess I'll go first. Love has like seven different names in Greek, so it's different things to different people. Love seems, like, a social instinct that helps humans live together in large groups. So, evolution did it, and it's good for society, I guess?"
Anna- "Good answer. Um... Love is like when you have ooey gooey sappy feelings they show in the Hallmark Channel, and it's important because it makes bonin' more romantic than regular bonin', and that's what I did on my summer vacation."

He was seriously going to have to answer this shit? Well, he was fucking wrong about those other dicks being the Care bears of Capitol Hill, it was these guys for sure.“Umm, Ahh....well it's an attachment thing I fucking guess, it's nice while it fucking lasts. Although if your talking about the word 'luv', it's just a lazy arse spelling for cutesy fucking reasons. You don't need to shorten a four fucking letter word.”

"Watch it, sassy mouth. We're trying to confuse the monsters, not make a statement about spelling. What about your answer, man?" Alex was busy snickering at the word 'bonin' - it took a moment for him to be mature and answer the question.[/i] "You know what they say in Pride and Prejudice! To be fond of dancing is a certain step towards falling in love." "What? That doesn't make any sense. It's not even ... Oh, fine. You guys are all right. The key's under the mug on the curb. By the way, if you're visiting campus, be really careful. There's lots of rumors. Guy I met last week said people are cooking meth in the science labs and getting into vicious fights over territory." "Rumors! Just rumors! Thank you very much. What if she's right, though?" He found a key and unlocked the car. It was the point of no return![/i]

"Oh my gosh. That's got to be an urban legend. Then again, I guess you'd know better than anyone ... Oh! Once, my friend Justin took non prescription adderall to study harder in school. It made him really cranky. Me and Alvar held an intervention when the behavior issue got intolerable. It didn't go well, though ... probably a bad idea to surprise him at 5 AM. But baseball practice is early, and we had commitments in the evening! Anyway, Justin's cousin joined us, and I think she liked me because ..." On and on he went. Fortunately, Alex kept his voice down.
The western university campus resembled a war zone. Most of the blockish academic buildings were riddled with broken windows. A heaping pile of charred bones blocked a big "Seattle University" sign.
"Awyea! We made it! I wonder how many old friends will be around. Maybe they'll move into 403!" ((OOC: The dorm (Bellarmine Hall) is in the middle of campus, and I can't find a decent map. There's this ... www.seattleu.edu/maps/ So Imma be lazy and say: players, describe heroics that happen on the way, if you feel inspired! There are zombies and scary people wearing apocalyptic chic clothing (no sign of meth labs, though :. Extra points if Micah does parkour.))[/i]

Anna and Richie didn't say much as they proceeded. ((No tome to do more fancy foolery at present.))
