Ashley began to back up out of the studio, very slowly. They should probably not stand here if they are going to fall 10+ feet onto zombies. "It is too risky to keep walking on the floor like this." He says quietly, almost as if the noise could wake something. Part of him wanted to just burn this place...again...

Seth nodded. Suddenly, Anna shouted Anna- "SETH! UP!" Ashley and everyone else looked above Seth's head at the ghost! Seth bent back at the waist, tearing his eyes from the zombies in front of him to look up at the ceiling. As he looked up, his torch came into contact with a half naked, half eaten floating gray woman - the likely owner of the mystery feet downstairs. Seth's eyes locked with her dead orbs, and the greasy sparks from the flame tearing her apart singed his open eyes. He almost lost a grip from the pain, and found himself blinded by persistent pulsing lights. He dropped the torch, holding his eyes with both hands, and stumbling against the wall. ((Looks like he could use a hand, Ashley.)) A mysterious sound abruptly rose above the din of moshpit zombies and drippy horror, as if someone had turned on a television to an evening news report, but it was muffled and full of static. Anna- "What the fuck is going on?!"

Ashley is now VERY SORRY he said this was a good idea, and reaches out quickly to grab Seth with his free hand and pull him away from the edge, and back towards the door. he'd try to find something else to anchor himself to in the meantime. He issues no orders to Seth, as he's fairly sure that Seth is smart enough to know to hold onto him in the meantime. "Seth! Are you alright?"

Ben- "Eugh." With Seth's flare on the floor that was being torn away by zombies, Ben figured he'd better light his flare after all. Then he tried to gauge the situation in Studio B. Did it look like Ashley and Seth could get away from the wall and get out of the room, or would someone need to go downstairs and break open the sag and kill those zombies?"Those zombies are practically on the floor below us, aren't they? Inside that thing?" ((I was ninja'd TWICE.))

Seth wordlessly accepted Ashley's help, still arghing from the pain. His torch rolled into the zombies, causing no small excitement there. Above that, a new menace came into sight - A shadowy form of a man's upper body, wearing a blazer, arms folded as if on an invisible desk. Droning static emerged from him, and a jumble of word fragments in the rise and fall rhythm of the nightly news.
It was motherfuckin' Dan Lewis!
In surprise, Anna had neglected to avoid his eyes and stood entranced! He very slowly slid forward, as if his phantom desk was moving.

Ben- "Gah!" Ben had been busy fiddling with his flare, glancing at the zombie mosh pit, and talking to Anna. So when she froze, he was ready! He quickly put his hand in front of her eyes."I guess this is what my long stick is for..."

Ashley tries to drag blind? Seth alongside him and back towards the door, too far away to stop Anna from staring at the creature, whatever it was. A ghost? A monster? Something terrible had found them. "BEN don't let her look!" He cries, and brandishes his flare in the creature's general direction. He had been looking at the floor to try to avoid the others, and to watch the zombies in the meanwhile. He scrambles to hold onto his flare.

Anna- "GAH! Uh, thanks Ben! Burn that fuckin' guy!" Ashley managed to get Seth to the door and Anna helped him get out into the hall His flare brandishing was for naught due to the ghost being out of reach. Now Ben had the terrible challenge of crisping ghostly Dan Lewis without accidentally looking in his eye!
((How's he doin'? And Ashley?))

Ben- "Here goes... something." Ben carefully stepped forward, waving his flare-on-a-stick in the air in front of him, while keeping his eyes down on the floor. The terribly dangerous floor. Damn. He should've had a rope tied around his waist for this. Good thing the stick wasn't that heavy though. That way it was much easier to reach out with one arm and poke around without looking.

Ash stumbles due to not being able to see that well, but holds out his flare in case the ghost comes close. He was not willing to risk death by touching it just yet. It seems as if Ben is the man of the hour, and who better to be. He dips his head low, and leads Seth on, simultaneously obstructing his view of the ghost.

Anna- "Here you go!" Anna held onto one of Ben's back belt loops to steady him. The ghost advanced! A little ways out in the hall, Seth sank against the wall, squeezing his eyes and trying to blink. Seth- "S-some water... please..." As Ben focused on the floor, the shadows about the ghost could be seen in his peripheral vision. They'd changed, and were now flickering like a film reel coming apart. Something different was happening. Would he be able to tell where or how to hit the ghost with that flare?

Ben- "Oh, crap. This is some kind of tricky ghost, isn't it? Show us the news, anchorman!" Ben started waving his stick around a bit more to the sides, and up, and down. Hopefully he'd catch something, somehow. Hopefully the ghost wasn't quick and nimble. Hopefully... Well, it was all he could do, wasn't it?"Think of the ratings, man!"

Anna pulled back on Ben's pants hard. The ghost must have slipped past his stick maneuvers! As he fell back, the torch accidentally came in contact with a dark tendril...Dan Lewis- "this just in , and then also, a desecrated anglerfish, fourteen survivors, and now sports" Dude went up in flames! Ben heard the satisfying *thwoosh!* as he was pulled out into the hall. Now the only sound from the room was the pathetic lost souls of the zombie pit. Ben, Anna, and Ashley watched Seth pouring lukewarm bottled water straight into his eyes. It ran down his chin and, realizing he was thirsty too, he drank some.

He is fairly sure that Seth is in no danger of seeing the ghost at this point, and flails his torch in that direction regardless whether it is in reach or not. Can never be too careful. He flicks back as they light up the ghost, and frowns quietly. Ben. That Ben is quite a guy, he never knew. "...Did you get it?" He could not really see what happened, but assumed that that was it. "Seth Sir, come on...keep a hold on me."
