Dr. Victor glanced around, narrowing his eyes and leveling his gaze at the group. Panic. Right, let's run in a panic because that will make everything better. Struggling to get himself to move, the good doctor trotted after the group, his anger rising again. I know! Why don't we just start shooting at transparent things and almost shoot at everyone else! That's an excellent idea. Or, maybe we can reason with the zombies! Or invite Mary over for some coffee and a chat.Dr. Victor allowed his rage to mount again, arrogance almost blinding as the darkness of what he feared the underground tunnel would provide. If I was at the hospital all ready, I'd probably be dead. And maybe it'd be less distracting to be dead? I'd at least not have to be apart of such a motley crew or have such a headache. Well, I'm just hypothesizing... who knows what the actual corpses are feeling, if they feel... I suppose I'll have to ask one.That sick chuckling began to reverberate through the good doctor's throat.

The first floor crowd moved in chaotic bursts, the lack of coordination and sudden overpowering menace working against them. The first group down the hall was led by James and Eric, and included the injured but mobile russian kid, another man, two women, weird guy, and Basil.
The second group had Tyrone, Doc Vic, Kaito, and Jackson, followed shortly by a group with Ben, Sonya, Sandy, Sarah, and Nat, then Micah, Alex, Patti, and Anna. Anna exchanged a horrified look with Patti. Anna- "Look at its feet if you need to see it." She glanced back very briefly and picked up her run.
Doc Vic's group ran into PF Chang's, Jackson pausing just long enough to let the group behind know which way they went. Tyrone went to the stairs down quickly, leaving Kaito and Doc Vic alone in the middle of the room just a moment, the streetlamp light glittering on milling zombies outside, the warm interior lights glowing on the floor and tabletops, a smell of blood, plastic, and extremely sweet pan-asian cuisine vague in the air, plates of random giblets on various tabletops. The Doctor felt suspended in the moment, like he'd gotten into a concert venue where a bunch more people still waited outside. Then Jackson came up from behind and they continued.
Sarah and Nat came running in behind, not pausing to see what was ahead, rushing after Jackson. Ben came into the door huffing a bit, sweat now heavy in his hair, Sonya and Sandy slowing themselves a bit to stay with the armored guy.
DOC VIC, NAT, and BEN, go to METRO LEVEL
Micah and Alex came hustling through the room. Suddenly, Alex heard a chair-scoot noise, and stopped to look back. Anna and Patti stopped in the doorway coming in. Their eyes were all fixed on a policeman coming slowly up from behind a table. Anna- "Oh, good. We could use another gu-" It suddenly became apparent the man was dead, but still had the instincts to use his weapon. Police zombie- "Ungggha" He already had his gun out and pointed it at Anna, clearly a split second away from pulling the trigger.
THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, but the scene was still quite visible in the streetlights.

(Patti had enough light to reliably shoot the zombie officer, and she did so, while dropping to the floor to reduce her profile. It all happened too fast, the cop's shot and hers in rapid succession, clanging through the room.)

A zombie with a gun? Why couldn't the zombies stick to the tropes of TV and stay stupid? This is why Micah was glad that Australia had gun laws, despite the tirade of lectures he received from American co-workers. Micah looked at the poor girl in the line of fire, with a mixture of sympathy and horror. Then he hightailed it down the stairs, looking for the others below. "Guys? We have a bloody situation up here!" He yelled out into the darkness. ( Micah will go for self-preservation this time, he will just hope that someone else does something upstairs, or he can find the others who will.)

Alex realized two things: first, that Anna was in serious trouble, and second, that he was too far away to shove her from the bullet's probable path. Reacting on instinct, he picked up the nearest object (anything decent-sized, like a chair or plate) and hurled it at the zombie cop. He sincerely hoped that Patti could seal the deal with her gun.

The cop pulled the trigger. Patti and Anna were diving low like an action movie and Patti took a shot. The zombie cop flew back, knocking over a table.
By the time the cop was down, Alex had just begun to throw the plate, and kind of let it drop instead of following through. Micah was already halfway to the stairs, and opening the door found it to be intolerably black down there - like a wall of blackness. If he has a lighter or keychain LED thing or some light source, he might feel OK to try it.
Anna and Patti scrambled to their feet quickly, and Anna shuddered violently at the thought she was almost shot. Then she remembered the ghost behind them and looked at the hall back in dread. Anna- "We'll need light down there... I'll make a torch but somebody watch for ghosts." She ran behind the counter and started thrashing through kitchen supplies.
Meanwhile, Patti pried the gun from the zombie cop's hand, wiping it off in disgust, and fished around for extra ammo - all while looking to the door in fear that ghost would catch up. Had they lost it? How long would that last?

Micah heard the shots reverberate from the staircase and a crash. The darkness ahead was uninviting and he had no light. "Hey, COME BACK GUYS, WE NEED SOME FUCKING DIRECTION OR LIGHT...please?" Micah screamed, feeling frantic. Where were the others? Where the fuck were they supposed to go? He headed cautiously up the stairs, and was relieved to find the rest alive. "Looks like they've ditched us and racked the fuck off" He said kicking a nearby chair in frustration. He noticed the small brunette clunking through the kitchen supplies. "Need a hand? I was a Sous-chef after all. They might have a blowtorch, you know for charring and such."

Anna- "Great! We could use it as a light! Especially if we can find something to wrap in gauze... A first aid kit, ha... And light that up..." She was still look at the door they came from every other second, but getting it done.
The ghost didn't come, but zombies outside started to beat on the windows. Finally, with Micah's help, she came up with three torches made out of metal kitchen tools with the heads wrapped in gauze, handing them off to Alex and Micah. She kept one and Micah held onto the kitchen torch as well. She felt like Patti should keep her hands on the gun.
(Any last RPing before going downstairs folks?)

"God," Alex said quietly, as he took the torch. It was all too much. Anna had been a trigger away from dying. He exhaled shakily and nodded. Then, as his panic died down and he appreciated the smell of Chinese food, Alex realized that he was VERY hungry. He will hastily stuff his mouth with any food he can find on the tables and drink some abandoned glasses of water, if possible. However, he will not take longer than a few seconds, because the zombies are scary. Scary.

"Ugh that's truly fucking disgusting Alex. Do you know what kinds of germs are in that? ugh! If you knew what I do, you wouldn't eat that bloody crap!" Micah ignored his own growling stomach and headed with the others downstairs, torch in hand.

“I'm hungry, Micah," he said. His voice actually sounded ... affectionate? Alex followed the others downstairs.

Alex found the giblets to be actually not so bad, some kind of goopy red sweet and sour sauce and little brown dumpling kinda things... Pretty salty though. Micah thought that Alex looked like he was chowin' on legit gory bits after what he'd seen today. Barf-o-rama.
(OK, I had to settle that important issue. Onward and downstairs...!)
