"Well we're new to the area too, we just arrived here. You should know one of the sky towers." She replied back. She wasn't ready just to trust anyone yet.

Horus glanced up, and it occurred to him that he would be best off climbing up to the rooftops first. He found a good place to climb up and did just that. There were other people there, too, and he couldn't help but be anxious around them. He had just been attacked by a seemingly normal person himself. Horus noticed three people standing together, having a conversation (Alex, Jemma, and Harley), and he walked over.
"Hey, there's going to be mustard gas soon," he said, trying his best not to limp or show his injuries, but that was hard when he had bruises everywhere, "Shouldn't you head on to the sky tower?"
"Well thats what we're doing." She replied and resumed walking.

"Good," Horus muttered. He walked after, but struggled to keep up pace. This was horribly embarrassing.
Alex immediately notices his limp. "Let me guess you're wounded?" She asked as they walked
group
"It's not so bad, but yes," Horus admitted, "Some guy beat me up and stole my gas mask. So it's especially crucial that I get to the sky tower."
adam rushes down to greet the new members of the group this will be fun!
Emil whistled a soft tune to himself as he walked towards the Sky Tower, inviting strange and disgusted looks from passersby. He was used to this though. Some have even called him deranged for seeming so happy during the constant tragedies. Of course he was not deranged. He was just… well, not sane. But that's fine. No one is ever truly sane. They just prefer to live a lie then to face the hard truth. Emil let out a soft giggle as he watched a strange quartet make their way slowly to the tower. One of them seemed to be injured and a bit more desperate to get to the tower. Out of pure boredom, or perhaps something else, Emil decided to join the odd group. "Are you guys headed to the Sky Tower?" he softly cooed.
Alex checked her brab. 10 minutes until mustard gases. "well frick this." She mumbled under her breath before turning to him. "I know this is going to be embarrassing, but trust me, you're gonna live." She warned before throwing the man over her shoulder and started running.
group
Horus gasped in surprise, but he wasn't embarrassed. Instead, he was grateful, but also worried about how long Alex would be able to carry him. After all, he was at least six feet tall, and didn't have a thin frame at all.
"Th-thanks," he whispered, not sure if she heard.
"No problem." She wheezed and they were almost there. "we're almost there just a little bit longer." She said. 5 minutes until mustard gas.
adam was running next to alex "hand him over, i got him."
Emil chuckled at the strange sight as he followed them, the clacking of his shoes emitting a soft, rhythmic sound as he ran. This was far more entertaining than being alone. After all, humans were always entertaining. They had a strange drive to live, one that he did not possess. Or perhaps he had just suppressed the feeling. It didn't matter.
"Ok, " She handed him over to adam and took a deep breath. Then she resumed running. 2 minutes.
adam carried horrus over his shoulder like a soldier "do not worry friend, we will reach tower!"
group
"I… I'm sorry," Horus muttered, "If I'm too much of a burden, leave me behind. Mustard gas isn't usually fatal right away."
"Well the clock is going haywire today, have you not seen all these death ratings?" She asked. They were so close now.
"out of question, you are no burden. every person deserves shot at life." adam picked up the pace a little but still stayed with alex and jemma.
group
"Yeah, but if it comes to it, risking one life is better than risking several. And I'm young and strong. Chances are, I'd be alright, maybe." Horus was now feeling shaken. He knew there wasn't much time left.
Emil chuckled slightly as he looked back down at his barb. 1 minute left before deadly gases. "I guess the Germans are gassing everyone again," he sang quietly as he ran a bit faster.
Rain had already left the earthquake center and made her way to the Sky Tower. As rude as it may have seemed, she started pushing her way to the top through the crowds of people, putting her gas mask on at the same time.
They were about an inch away. 1 minute. It warned. So she pushed everyone inside and jumped in after. Just a nick of time before the doors closed.
( Oh whoops sorry. Just say she was already in the tower.)
group
Horus tried to make space for everyone else by moving farther into the room. As soon as he could, he found a place to sit down, and he began massaging the back of his knee.
group
Cade ran through the back doors of the Sky Tower just before the doors closed. He swiftly maneuvered through the crowd, figuring it would be best to get to higher ground. He kept his mask on, just in case.
Harley felt uncomfortable. She could sense that the others didn’t trust her and she wasn’t used to having so many people surrounding her.
Adam sat next to Harley "i can see that feeling on your face, the feeling of being alone when you are surrounded by thousands, the feeling of comfortableness and that feeling that no one trusts you… it sucks, but you have to overcome those feelings, show them that you can be trusted." Adam gets up and disappears into the crowd.
Alex ran up to the top floor and sat down in the corner with Jemma
Looking for those two girls she came with, Harley stood up and looked around. Spotting them sitting in a corner, she walked towards them trying not to step on other peoples hands and feet. "H-hi, I'm Harley, the girl who followed you? I just wanted to thank you for helping me get to the tower. I can see that you still wary of me, I would be too, but just know that if you need help, I'll be there." She turned around and looked for a new spot since her old one was invaded by a woman and her child.
Alex nodded before going back on her brab again. 30 minutes until ending. 20,000 dead so far.
