ooc: I spent half an hour writing a post on Friday, and then the school computers deleted it
Anyway, take two. Stiff upper lip and all that.
I think, for the sake of speed, we should assume that everybody has now got in the car and they are driving off towards generic town number 3, which someone should think about naming, rather than waiting for everyone to post "all my character got into the car and waited for Dave to post so we can actually get moving".
In the mean time...
Olivia didn't answer Grace or Fisher, but slowly pointed the flashlight upwards towards the roof. She clicked it on and instantly a continuous streak of what looked like green lightning shot out of the bulb to the roof. She brought the torch slowly round in an arc, leaving a trail of scorch marks along the roof and then down the wall, finishing her sweep with the lightning shooting between Grace and Silvia and making the latter jump back in fright. Then she turned it back off again and the lightning immediately vanished.
"Consider yourselves warned," Olivia spoke quietly.
Then, turning back to Fisher, she looked like she was about to say something when suddenly a jet of flame shot upwards from the ground to her left. The fire spread out and formed the shape of a fiery man, then in an instant it seemed to just "puff" out, leaving Daniel standing quite unharmed in the room. Almost before he had appeared, he had his bow and arrow at the ready and aimed at Fisher. Then, to Olivia's right, a wavery shadow appeared, gradually becoming more and more solid until it turned into Slade.
He bowed slightly, "Joseph Slade, at your service."
Grace pulled out her gun, waved it around between Olivia and the two new arrivals, unsure where to stop, and then settled for pointing it at Olivia.
And suddenly she was alone.
THe house creaked painfully. She swore. Then the electricity, which was apparently only being supported by Fisher's spell, switched off, plunging her into almost total darkness.
Realising what was about to happen she made a run for the stairs when the door suddenly burst inwards, throwing her back, and then the windows and water flooded into the room throwing large shards of broken glass, anything in the house that hadn't been nailed down and Grace herself around, crashing against walls, floors, turning her over and over until she lost all idea of what was up, what was solid and what was water. Fingers numb from the sudden and intense cold scrambled desperately for a hold on anything that was sold, that wasn't washing around the room. The half-a-breath of air that she'd managed to hold in her lungs was proving to be of little worth.
She was weak and battered and her body screamed for air by the time water stopped flooding into the house and some order returned, but now held in a disorientated darkness she was totally lost and whatever direction she pulled herself in seemed to bring no air, just more freezing, crushing water.
Bright, silvery light high above! The cold face of the moon gazed down on her helpless form as she must have somehow pulled herself through a windo or door. She tugged desperately upwards and then her head broke the surface. SHe gulped down deep, glorious breaths of cold, biting air, gasping and shivering. Her body was weak and she could feel herself beginning to sink again.
Looking desperately around in the feeble light she spotted a flat surface just above the water level, maybe the roof of an extension to someone's house, a few metres up (or down) the road. Se pulled herself frantically towards it and finally her hands touched a solid wall, found the surface above and heaved her bosy, dripping and trembling, up onto the wet but beautifully flat and solid roof.
She retched. And then rolled onto her side, curled into a ball and lay shivering and scared on the roof.
It would be many hours before the rescue teams found her.
ooc: ok, so under the advice of Havoc i kept Grace alive in case I wanted to bring her back into the story later on. However, as for now you can count her out of things. There's not much i could do with her in her current situation anyway.
Assume what you will, that she was saved, that she died of cold long before that or whatever. I might bring her back in, I might not.
Anyway, I'll bring in a new character in a few days, probably once (or just before) they reach this new town. I might run it past Havoc first as the idea i have might seem a little too much to me.
Oh, and for the benefit of Havoc and anyone else who doesn't know, the NHS stands for National Health Service which pays for health care in England so we don't have to pay for things like hospital treatment and basic dentistry ourselvelses. American's don't have it and i basically took it for granted before you all started talking about banks that wherever we end up would have it. But yeah, whatever.
It shouldn't last much longer, though.
