The creatures at first are quiet as they come into the city. But as more and more of them flood the streets the louder and louder they get. And Homura is sleeping-- the door locked and barred, the windows closed-- inside the back room of a store across from the hospital. She quickly notices two things as she wakes up: the sound of the monsters and the fact that her surroundings have changed. Her first thought is that she walked to another store in her sleep, and her second thought is what on earth is that noise?

Homura approaches the window and peers outside. The moment she does that a lot of them seem to see the motion behind the curtains and so they start to approach. She's instantly awake and transformed; they come closer and closer and then one is trying to smash through the window. Homura backs up and pushes aside the dresser she'd put in front of the door. She moves away with the door shutting behind her just as there is the sound of shattering glass.

And out the front she goes. She has no rifle, the kind of gun she feels most comfortable with-- she's a small girl and the recoil is easier to handle-- but she has a handgun. A handgun and a limited amount of ammunition. Rushing through the changed store she presses her back against the wall and readies her weapon, firing carefully as the monster breaks down the store's door.

Gamzee's somehow managed to fall asleep in the main area of the store, there being enough sopor already in his system for the nightmares not to grasp him. He shouldn't even be sleeping, really, his body saying it'd be better to continue with his usual schedule of sleeping during the day and waking at night. But from the shock and the faint worry, he'd grown rather tired, and thus fallen asleep on the floor. Which wasn't too comfortable, but it'd happened anyways.

Now, however, he's woken up to the sound of gunshots. Not the sound of monsters, but the gunshots. The sound pounds on his ears and he has absolutely no idea what the sound actually is, but it isn't pleasant. Feeling there's some kind of disturbance, he gets up and wanders towards the sound, vaguely noticing the store's change.

Upon seeing Homura, he gives a start and stares rather blankly at her weapon. It looks blocky and uncomfortable to handle, but he doesn't voice that. Instead, he turns his attention to the banging coming from the back room.

"What the motherfuck is that, chica?" And he starts walking towards her. Hope his apperance doesn't scare you, Homura!

She fires once more, and the monster collapses. Her aim is good, and so she was able to hit it in the head. There's not much more time before another monster might come barging in, but for now she turns towards Gamzee.

Not only does he tower over her he's also gray-skinned and obviously wearing makeup. The horns add at least an additional foot to his height-- he is odd to say the least. But she isn't in a situation where she can ponder the oddness of this person. She simply does not have the time.

"Animals," she says quietly, gesturing to the corpse with her gun. Her eyes flick to the glass walls behind them. It's covered by curtains thankfully. ... this place is probably their worst bet. "I'm going. Come if you like. You'll die if you remain so nonchalant."

	"What little we have is precious," she tells Day, looking around. Monsters are being attracted by the loud noise, and so Homura starts to take off. "Let's move." She completely ignores the question of the apartments, instead moving for the houses nearby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Day nodded and began to follow, really what was with this world and creapy children? They headed towards the houses, monsters closing in from all sides. "You got a location to aim for? Because we should probably aim for somewhere with other fighters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She dashes down the street, moving quickly and silently. This doesn't stop any of the monsters from catching wind of them, however, and so they are the center of attention of many monsters. "If we board ourselves up in one of those houses, it should be fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Day jumped when the window was blasted into the street. She gave the monster a look and then looked at Lightning with surprise, and suspicion. Magic. It didn't exist of course but Lightning used the same tricks as the southern woman... Noises sounded around them as monsters slowly surrounded them, "We should get back to Mercy then."
