"C'mon," Isaac muttered, his voice barely audible to himself. He knew Rives would hear it, though. "Fucking Wizards - the wall's been down a good... a good long while..." He was struggling with the grating covering a manhole, trying to get it up. "If I know anything about them, and I do, so just don't even fucking ask, they're sweeping through even as I fucking say it. Fucking Obliviators - look, you superhuman bastard, help me out here."

Rives put the little girl he'd been carrying around down for a moment and lifted the grate off like it was nothing. Isaac hated him in that moment in a purely personal level, more annoyed at being a little grateful than anything else. "Right, in we go. They'll not sweep through here until a bit later, if we're lucky. Right poncey, the lot of them. We can get out, you can head on back to your damn family. I'll find these kids a place to stay, and we'll all get over everything like it never even fucking happened."

Isaac went down first and Rives handed him the girl, then the boy, and followed. He even pulled the damn grate down again. If he hadn't been trying to figure out how to manage that himself, he might've been even more annoyed. Luckily, he just picked up the little boy and they started walking. It was damp, it was full of garbage and the sorts of refuse that you really didn't want to think about, all things considered - and the stench was enough to make him wish he didn't have a nose at all - or that cutting it off would do him some good.

Jesus fuck, he thought, leading the way through the tunnels - it was a twisted route, one he was pretty sure he wouldn't have been able to follow if it weren't for certain marks spaced out every once in a while, just enough to keep him from getting completely lost. Not letting them steal our memories, the arsehats.

Fred was listening closely inside of the large stone building. It was completely empty so movements sent echoes easily heard even by humans through the structure. She'd found a chef's knife in a house earlier in the day and sat in the doorway whittling sticks so they had points at one end. Very sharp points. It wasn't much, but it was a weapon if someone inside really needed one.

She had decided she was going to stand sentry and no one was getting into the building without passing her or Trent. Anyone shady or who smelt off wasn't getting inside. People needed to be kept safe and in order for that to be possible everyone who they let in needed to be safe. People whose fear level was too high were likely to snap and go crazy. People like that didn't need to be let in. People who weren't actually people weren't getting past her either. So she sat and she waited. She figured people could hang out in the atrium right behind her until everyone was there that they were expecting and then they could lock the front doors, which did actually have a few bolt locks on them, and go up to the top floor together.

Anthony grunted as he lugged the huge bag of dog food into the bottom of his cart. Chayim was starting to get a little doughy and so Anthony picked chose the weight loss formula. It probably wasn't any better for him than the regular food but it made Anthony feel better about how much the huge dog ate. A box of treats and a huge cow bone followed the dog food into the cart. He horribly spoiled the dog but figured that his only companion deserved a little spoiling. As he rounded the aisle his cart almost collided with another. "Oh, I'm sorry." He stared at the man for a moment. He'd know that face anywhere. "Smith? Zacharias Smith?"
