Round 6 [Audio] Backdated to Wednesday

A-Abeni..[Someone doesn't sound good at all.]...Need backup.

[That's about all he can manage right now. His right arm is broken, his ribs feel like their in pieces, and he's got one hell of a concussion. The guy is feeling like shit shat twice.

For now he's just gonna hole up in the kitchen and hide.]

[Her breath catches in her throat the moment she hears him speak. Dread, is the only word that comes to mind]

Where are you.

[It's not a question.]

Kitchen...

[Sorry if he's not much for conversation right now Abeni but he's trying to focus on staying conscious.]

[She's been looking for him since things started getting weird, following tactic similar to that they worked with in Deadworld; stay quiet, stay hidden, keep moving, attack only if you must. At his words, she's off and running, sprinting for the kitchens as fast as her body will move.

It doesn't take her long to get there. Not knowing what it was that attacked him or what the problem is, she slows to a fast, but careful walk. Abeni pushes the doors to the kitchen open and steps inside.]

Zack.

[The word is quiet.]

[He looks up at the sound of her voice. Even that hurts.]

I messed up...

[He's always been able to endure one hell of a beating but this...He's starting to think this might be the end of him.]

Shit.

[She drops to his side and starts a routine check over, looking for any life threatening wounds and what needs to be looked at first. Abeni meets his gaze.]

Stay awake, you hear me?

[She can't lose him now.]

Are they still here? I need to know.

[The moment she starts touching him he grunts in pain. That will certainly keep him awake.]

Y-yeah...

[If he's going to focus on something he may as well focus on the pain. It's going to suck but it'll keep him from passing out.]

Don't know. Don't think so.

[A giant flying lizard is kind of hard to miss, so if Abeni didn't see it it must not be there anymore. The other one though, Zachariah doesn't have a clue about that one.]

Good.

[His wounds are far worse than she'd hoped. She hides her worry well save for bringing her hand to his cheek and looking him in the eye.]

We need to move. The barracks are Quarantine from this... whatever the fuck it is.

[She hates the barracks as much as he does, but Riah's current state over rides any dislike she might have.]

Pretty sure the doc is there.

[His eyes meet hers and he frowns.]

Barracks? I hate the barracks.

[And that's about all the effort he's going to put into that argument.]

So do I.

[Whether he fights her on it or not, Abeni has already made up her mind. She turns her attention to his arm, not liking the way that it sits.]

But you need more help than I can give you.

[That alone pains her. She hasn't seen what happened to him so can't say for sure what kind of injuries he might have, but Abeni can guess, and she doesn't like her suspicions one bit.

At the least, she can put his arm in a sling. Hopefully Joe won't mind too much when she shreds a table cloth to use for one.]

[He doesn't fight her. Fighting hurts. Moving hurts. Everything hurts. For now he's going to sit there like a sack of potatoes until she's ready to move him and fight to stay awake.]

[In a well practiced motion, Abeni has a sling ready in no time. It's the getting him to move into it that's going to be the problem, but she knows she needs him to keep that break still.

She also needs to hurry up.]

Lift your head from the wall a half inch, then the same with your arm.

[Her voice and touch are surprisingly gentle.]

[Abeni is worried. More so than she's letting on. He can tell it in her tone. She doesn't think he's going to make it does she?

Riah does as she says, lifting his head and then, bracing himself, lifting his arm. The pain is excruciating.]

[Oh but she does. Worried as she is, Abeni isn't about to lose her best friend. She just won't let that happen.

The sling is tied in silence before she moves to his other side, slowly lifting his arm over her shoulder.]

You ready, Zack? We're going to the doc.

[ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER.]

[At least someone does because for all his determination earlier, he's not sure if he's going to make it. He won't tell that to Abeni though.

Slowly he rises to his feet fighting through the pain. Zachariah doesn't say anything but he gives her a bloody grin and a thumbs up. Yeah he's ready Abeni, time to get moving.]

[She smirks back, nods, and the shuffling begins. Luckily, the Barracks aren't too far away. Much as she knows that they need to go there, that it is the only 'safe' place in the Keep, Abeni can't help but feel uneasy.

The doctor had better be home.]

[If she's not she can just leave Zachariah in a heap by her door. He would appreciate that.

Maybe it's not a long way to her but when every breath you take makes you feel like your insides are on fire it feels like an eternity. When they reach the doors he's never been so happy and nervous in his life.]

[Sycora is first at the doors and she pushes it open, a short staff in hand and filter mask over her mouth. The sight of broken-and-bloodied Riah gets her attention first, but then she looks to Abeni.]

If he's turning, better to kill him now.

[Now that gets her attention. Abeni moves to put herself between Zachariah and Sycora.]

He's not bit, he's hurt.

[And if he is bit, she'll be the one to take him down, not anyone else.]

[That gets his attention too and his eyes bug out of his head, although there's really nothing he can do about it. He can barely stand as it is.

He looks to Abeni and then back at Sycora. Scared? Just a little.]

[Sycora looks between Abeni and Riah for just a few seconds more, and then she nods her head back toward the inner barracks.]

Bring him in.

[And she steps back to hold the door. If Riah is infected, they'll know soon enough.]

[Don't mind Riah as he breathes a sigh of relief, and then immediately winces for doing so. At least he gets to live a little longer, but now even he's paranoid that he might be infected.]
