Ryan watched in awe as Hitomi and the fellow now known as Naz seemed to reenact a very awkward and unfunny scene from the film Lost in Translation, seeming more a bystander than anything else, before the two turn and went back to the west wing of the theater. Down the west hallway, the pounding still continued, the ferocity never seeming to let up. If anything it seemed as though it was increasing with every second. From the corner of his eye Ryan catches sight of Cherry approaching and turns to face her. "Do you hear that? The odds are telling me that it's not just the air conditioner going on the fritz..."
He begins to head into the west wing, motioning his hand for her to come follow him if she wished, not really sure if she was coming behind him as he stepped down the corridor. For a long moment, everything was silent, as whatever was making those sounds was aware someone new had entered into it's domain and was now waiting. Ryan grew increasing anxious, wondering if he had made a mistake coming here, possibly even endangering Cherry as well. His heartbeat racing slightly and his palms sweaty against the handle of the samurai sword he now held in both hands, Ryan grew further and further on edge, when suddenly the metal door beside him boomed as loudly as a shotgun going off, causing Ryan to jump back startled, sword facing toward the door. "What the hell?!?! What the fuqk is that?"
Ryan dared not take his eyes off the door, catching a glimpse of Metalfest guy again a little bit down the hall from the corner of his eye, watching him. "Do you know what this is behind this door?" he asked the stranger, "You do, don't you?"
Despite wanting to face the stranger directly, he dared not. He just kept watching of the door, keeping both ends of the hallway in his peripheral vision, Guarding in case the door wasn't as secured as it looked.

"Do you hear that? The odds are telling me that it's not just the air conditioner going on the fritz..." Ryan asked Cherry. She merely nodded to him, then cocked her head awkwardly, her dark eyes looking into his own intensely for just a moment, unblinking.
Ryan then motioned for her to follow, to which she complied, still dragging the bat across the stiff ratty near threadbare carpeting which spread across some of the floors of the theatre.
"What the hell?!?! What the fuqk is that?" Ryan sputtered out, seemingly afraid, with good reason if he was. The place was a mess, abandoned, littered with freaks, and probably haunted too.
Banging could be heard. Loud riotous banging. As they approached its source, a door to a room not yet searched, Cherry silently continued to follow, her steely gaze centered on Ryan, eyes narrowed. The raucous slamming on that door echoed through the corridors and maybe the whole building itself. Was it a freak or an unfortunate past recipient of the tour turned insane? It sounded almost as if the hinges would explode any minute..or maybe the building would collapse.
Off in the distance was another figure to which Cherry could not make out maybe due to the low lighting or her frenzied feverish thoughts, however Ryan seemed to be able to make him out fine.
"Do you know what this is behind this door?" He paused for a moment but the man didn't answer. "You do, don't you?" Ryan asked again, tension evident in his voice. The man, for the time being kept silent. Maybe it was just as well.
Cherry closed the gap between Ryan and herself when he was turned away trying to talk to the other man in the corridor.
It seemed Ryan and herself were the unlucky ones guarding the door with whatever was behind it just dying to come out..

Turn Update As Ryan stands guarding the door which is mercilessly beaten by the monstrosity on the other side he suddenly feels light headed and weak. His vision starts to blur as light smoke manifests around him. He leans against a nearby wall to try and regain his senses but he is snapped out of it by a sharp pain in his side right between his ribs, as he looks down he notices blood! Before he can make sense of what just happened he catches a glimpse of what seems to be a female figure disappear in the distance. Ryan has been injured by the possessed! He suffered a minor injury!Someone has refilled their vial with a red liquid! 3 more refills of red left!Hitomi is still immune to being possessed! The effect will last until the end of this turn before it wears out completely!Cherry has been voted as the possessed! The group guessed correctly! The monster bashing the door has calmed down! No one has to guard the door this turn!The possession has moved to a new host!Naz's metal pipe suffered 1 durability loss for breaking open a door! (1 durability left)********************************************************************************************* As the monster seemingly calms down and gives up on its assault on the door the speakers burst into life almost as if on queue: Audio log: Today I decided to take a break from our experimentation with the other-world being and visit the weapons department to see how they are doing with their research on the hollow ones. I must admit that those guys are seriously fucked up in the head. The kinds of things they have done there to those husks of men are in equal measure astounding and horrifying. I saw one of the husks that had its palms cut off and it just had sharpened bone that would connect to said palms if they hadn't been removed. There were a bunch of amputee husks that looked extremely sick but the guys assured me that these were equivalent to biological bombs. Who comes up with this kind of shit anyway?
Turns out the husks are very easy to work on as for some strange reason they have become very resilient to injury. It could become a big problem if any of them escaped since they are literally engineered to kill as efficiently as possible and are a bitch to take down. Good thing we have them locked up though.

Dave stands by the massive door not far from Ryan and Cherry when Ryan addresses him: "Do you know what this is behind this door?" he asked the stranger, "You do, don't you?"
Dave paused for a second, "It's ... it's a weapon. A B.O.W. ... bio organic weapon. I'm sure you've encountered others already but this one's different ... they specifically made this thing to be unstoppable and I do believe they did a splendid job with that." He nervously took out his deck of cards again and started shuffling them with one hand to distract himself when suddenly the pounding stopped.
"Oh," he muttered out, "guess the possessed has been acknowledged, that creature should be calm for a short while but we still need to get out of here ASAP." he said acknowledging Ryan's suspicious glare.

Finding nothing but bandages Hitomi exits the room with Naz it seems Ryan and Cherry are guarding the room where the noise was coming from but Ryan looks hurt! She also see's the mystery man playing with some cards, he doesn't look as scary anymore but she couldn't be so serious......
She overheard something the guy was saying about the monster being a biologically made entity, rubbing her temples muttering "what the hell", looking to Naz she points to Ryan and Cherry "We should help the Ryan he seems hurt"
Either way not knowing what was going on she put the glass shard away and armed herself with the cleaver ready to cause whatever this place may throw at her some damage, Naz seemed to be a bit calmer now than before "So what made you come to this place Naz?" Hitomi manages to say in more coherent non broken english.

The fuzzy blur off a man in the inky blackness spoke rather plainly as if he'd no ulterior motive, just facts. "It's ... it's a weapon. A B.O.W. ... bio organic weapon. I'm sure you've encountered others already but this one's different ... they specifically made this thing to be unstoppable and I do believe they did a splendid job with that."
She heard bits and pieces of what he said, but it sounded like a defective tape where his words slowed down to a crawl in a deep bass and then synced back into normality along with voice pitch; at least to her this was happening. Static sounds filled her ears after he spoke, her eyes shutting as the veil became heavier and heavier, her vision completely gone when she opened her eyes, the sound of seashells rubbing together now grinding in her ears to an eardrum exploding level. Garbled voices could be heard scattered in the grinding sounds. Nothing of which was deciphered or able to be if she tried, which she couldn't because concentration was impossible.
Finally, the sounds started washing away to the sound of waves gently slapping a sandy shore until nothing but her actual surroundings could be heard. Her vision as well was back to normal, even if it was blurry at first.
She stood there in the pitch black between Ryan and the man who was more clearer than before, the one with the deck of cards, who looked normal enough.
"Oh," The Cards Man muttered out, "Guess the possessed has been acknowledged, that creature should be calm for a short while but we still need to get out of here ASAP." Cherry turned to look at Ryan then setting a suspicious look upon his face.
The horrible mind exploding banging on the door Ryan was guarding had ceased sometime during her little disconnection from reality, sharp wood pieces littering the door next to him along with long splinters.
"The possessed..what?" She managed, voice a bit shaky. Just then she noticed blood on Ryan's shirt. "R-Ryan, y-your shirt.." She stuttered, pointing to the shiny wet dark crimson substance staining his shirt. "What happened to you?!" She blurted out, covering her mouth with her left hand after having shoved the card into the left front pocket on her jeans.
Hitomi showed up then with the Twitchy Man not too far away. She seemed to point in their direction. "We should help the Ryan he seems hurt." Hitomi told the other man.
Hitomi then proceeded to say something else to the man but Cherry didn't hear for she had advanced to Ryan's side and was fishing out a roll of bandages from her purse, they ones he had given her earlier that she had not needed.
"Here." She offered, the roll of bandages laying on her flat palm. "I don't know what happened but we need to get you fixed up." She looked at him then, trying to gauge if he were in pain and/or shock. Truly she did not know how badly be was hurt and felt a niggling sense of guilt for some reason. Then again, she would have helped anyone who was hurt and felt bad.
The P.A. system screeched to life once again. "Today I decided to take a break from our experimentation with the other-world being and visit the weapons department to see how they are doing with their research on the hollow ones. I must admit that those guys are seriously fucked up in the head. The kinds of things they have done there to those husks of men are in equal measure astounding and horrifying.

They were pretty proud of this achievement and assured me that that thing was pretty much impossible to destroy but I think they are exaggerating ... I mean every weapon needs a fail-safe, right?"
Cherry turned back toward Ryan and the now partially destroyed door, putting two and two together. Her eyes were wide, momentarily, for a half Asian woman, her mouth agape. Quickly, she walked back to the door and took up a long piece of the broken off wood, tucking it into a strap on her purse, the bat still in her right hand.
"This shit is getting out of hand." She managed without a modicum of being scared. Fishing in her other pocket, she pulled out the flask, screwed the top off and drank some more of the liquid, feeling more wariness travel through her body..hopefully it would be liquid courage.
ACTION: Cherry offers Ryan bandages. ACTION: Cherry snaps up the wood shard as a weapon (+2 durability).

"So what made you come to this place Naz?" Hitomi asked "I have no idea why I am here" Naz admitted "Last thing I remember I was in Vegas and then I woke up on the bus... But I would never chose to come to an event like this, even if it were just all fake" "This isn't fake, is it?" she muttered "Can't be" he replied "At least, not all of it... Some things that have happened, there is no rational explanation for them. What did you think this was all meant to be?"

Cherry heard the conversation between Hitomi and the Twitchy Man.
"I have no idea why I am here. Last thing I remember I was in Vegas and then I woke up on the bus... But I would never choose to come to an event like this, even if it were just all fake." Twitchy Man said to Hitomi.
Their conversion carried on for a little bit before Cherry stepped over to the duo. "So, you were in Vegas too, huh?" She nodded her head then, tilting her head a bit to see if she maybe recognized him. Las Vegas was a big city with a million people, so chances are they had not yet met. But who knew? She drank a lot on the Strip after work and on the weekends. It was doubtful she met this man at Church if she had previously met him. He did not seem like the Church type, but one should not judge a book by its cover. Nah, she was sure he was not the type.
"I was so sure my sister was behind this. I guess not now." Her smartphone was in her hand again and she just looked at the picture of her identical twin sister.
Flipping the phone around, she showed Twitchy Man and Hitomi the picture. "Have you seen a woman? She just turned 30. Long, dyed red hair? My sister?"

"I don't know Naz I just thought a different kind of old american town tour......" Hitomi replied trailing off, was this guy really wearing leather pants in this situation!?! "Must of had a good time in Vegas"
Then Cherry quizzed Naz being from Vegas to and explained her sister may be some how involved before showing them a picture on her phone "Have you seen a woman? She just turned 30. Long, dyed red hair? My sister?"
"Can't say I have sorry Cherry I'm new to the area myself well not even local to this place.........., we should look for a way out this place is creepy"

The chick who was even hotter than Jasmine was actually talking to him! Time to play it cool... "So you were in Vegas, too?" Naz replied nonchalantly "Were we both on the bus the whole way here? For that matter, where is here?" Looking at the picture, Naz admitted "I don't think I saw her and didn't remember... She'd have caught my eye, no question. But then I didn't leave the hotel much, mostly stayed at the tables or in my room. Well, a few shopping sprees" he concluded, unconsciously rubbing his leather pants with one hand "Can't say I have. Sorry Cherry, I'm new to the area myself; well not even local to this place" Hitomi blurted "we should look for a way out- this place is creepy!" "Something else isn't adding up though" he pondered slowly "A discrepancy between what Dave said and the PA announcements"

(OOC: Sorry for the catch up post, I would have posted last night but my net died on me. ) As Ryan continued guarding the door, the strange newcomer spoke. "It's... It's a weapon. A B.O.W. ...bio organic weapon. I'm sure you've encountered others already but this one is different ... they specifically made this thing to be unstoppable and I do believe they did a splendid job with that." Now turning away from the door to face the stranger, both incredulous and confused, Ryan stares down the man inquisitively, hardly believing what he just heard. Ryan was just about to ask the stranger how he knows any of this, even resorting to violence if necessary if he had to, when he feels a sharp, intense pain in his ribs. Looking down, he sees a tear in shirt along with a growing stain of blood around it. He clutches the wound tightly, falling to one knee in pain as the reality of what happened sets in. Turning behind him, he sees a woman walking away from him, her appearance nothing more than a silhouette as the initial pain blurs his vision. Focusing, however, he is able to make out that the woman is in fact Cherry. He tried to make sense of this as there was no logical reason why she would want to do something like this, but then he begins to notice how unnatural her movements were, not at all feminine but awkward and jerky, sort of like a puppet on a marionette only not as spastic, her face a myriad of odd tick and spasms. She had to be possessed, Ryan thought, no doubt about it, and no sooner than he had finished that though than her expression went back to normal and seemed to show a hint of confusion about what had happened. At that same moment the monstruous banging also ceased, leaving all of them in a, what seemed to him, a tense and awkward silence. "Oh," said the new guy nonchalantly, "the possessed has been acknowledged, that creature should be calm for a short while but we still need to get out of her ASAP." Cherry stood there dumbfounded, still not completely out of her fugue state, only replying with, "The possessed... what?". Her voice was still shaky with bewilderment, but turned to shock and concern when she looked down and saw that he was wounded. "R-Ryan, y-your shirt..." She was absolutely horrified at the scene, added by her apparent confusion. "What happened to you?" Ryan was about to tell her what had happened, but stopped when he saw Hitomi and Naz approaching, deciding it best to not mortify Cherry anymore than she obviously was. Hitomi voiced concern in helping him, to which Cherry was quick to reply by handing Ryan a roll of badages, presumably the same ones he had given her. Ryan takes the bandages readily, offering a shaky "Thanks" before then listening to the latest PA segment and overheard the others talk among themselves. It was then that Cherry showed the photo of her sister on her phone, which Ryan could say with confidence he had not seen before, because if he had seen someone who looked just as attractive as Cherry he would have been sure to remember it. As the group talked and Ryan dresses his wound with the bandages as best he can, he finally takes notice of the sharp broken length of wood laying on the floor, which he takes after tending to his wound. He is about to get up and find a safer place to rest when Naz utters, "Something else isn't adding up though, a discrepancy between what Dave said and the PA annoucements." Ryan looked puzzled for a moment until he rationalized that 'Dave' was Metalfest guy. Intrigued, Ryan asks, "Well don't leave us in the dark. What is it?" Ryan takes and uses the offered Bandages, as well as takes the broken wood shard.[b/]

"Something else isn't adding up though" Naz pondered slowly "A discrepancy between what Dave said and the PA announcements"
Hitomi still in awe of house he was so much calmer and more in control like a strong lion, Ryan asks with quite some intrigue , "Well don't leave us in the dark. What is it?"
Hitomi wasn't quite so sure of the new guy something about him she couldn't figure out the announcements made no sense to her either it seemed like this place used to be an experimental ground for new war technology that went wrong badly now it seemed like the subconsciousness of the place the town what wa sleft of its people was manifesting itself with these remnants of a period of darkness in it's very own history.
Hitomi looks at the group and says in a calm manner "We need to keep searching and find a key to get out of here or at least a way out, I'm going to search Staff Room #222 if one of you are able to come with that would be great in calming my nerves more"
Hitomi prepares to search Staff Room #222 and arms herself with the cleaver she has found

"It isn't anything I can call out explicitly, just that he seems to know a lot about this place..." Naz explained "Almost as if he was here back in world war two. Which isn't really possible, so I need to come up with some other explanation"
[Naz searches with Hitomi]

"It isn't anything I can call out explicity, just that he seems to know alot about this place... Almost as if he was here back in world war two. Which isn't really possible, so I need to come up with some other explanation."
Ryan nods stiffly in agreement with Naz's statement, grunting involuntarily from the pain from his ribs. In truth, Naz's thoughts were exactly the same as Ryan's, just before he had been stabbed from the back by the entity in Cherry's body. Even thinking about it now, he too couldn't think of a rational explanation for what Dave had said, no natural one anyway. He wondered if perhaps if asked the man would explain himself, as it was obvious he had painted himself into a corner, with little options other than to tell a blatant or insignificant lie.
As Hitomi and Naz left to search, Ryan turns to Dave asks him between painful breaths, "So... 'Dave'... Care to elaborate on how you know so many intimate details about this secret little project here? What can you tell us about this thing that is trying to kill us... and about yourself?"
He knew if was rather foolish to expect an honest response, hell, even any response at all, but he figured, 'fuqk it'. Considering his situation he didn't have many options and maybe the guy would surprise him and tell them something helpful.
