Meet Me Around The Corner Cabinets and drawers open and close, desks get checked up and down. Hands grasp at anything remotely useful, a spare mug left on the edge, rubber bands in pen cups, and the rare medkit and shove it down into a backpack. Any hint of the lights flickering, and the woman made a mad dash for a side room or a locker. Sure, she has met all of the anglers face to face on the countless runs she had venturing through this damned place, but Sebastian didn't actively try to murder her or turn her body into a red stain on the metal walls. The others meanwhile… The room shook as Angus (or whatever his file said his name was) ripped though, leaving the room almost as quickly as he came. As Naomi peeked out from the tiny alcove she managed to cram herself into, she saw how the few stray pieces of paper were now strewn across the room, a few desks upturned as well. The usual aftermath, thankfully with no death. She groaned, pushing herself forwards and stretching out her arms. Maye if she got lucky, she could find an unlooted snack machine. And if some angler came barging through, maybe, just maybe, they could break the glass and… yep, that was her stomach. Passing by the newly opened door, she swung her bag around to her front, starting to dig for one of the few protein bars she found earlier. One of the lights further down the hall was broken, flickering as it half illuminated the stairway going further down into the blacksite. The lights behind her flashed, and a scream hit her ears before the claws did. The tumble ended just a few inches shy of the staircase leading downwards, the sharp angles of the stairs feeling more like spikes in her current position. Naomi let out a choked out breath of air as her back hit the floor, arms pinned to her sides as she began to shake. What was the point in struggling? She was surrounded by creatures created out of reckless abandon of science and humanity. And this thing was more than double her size, and that was fucking saying something. The creature was panting, staring down at her as she returned the gaze. Her lip quivered, eyes starting to well up, and Naomi shut her eyes. She was already on the brink of getting mauled, she didn't need to see it happen to… her… The grip loosened as a hint of shock suddenly overtook the fish’s face. She opened her eyes slightly, the blurry expression morphing through her tears. One clawed hand moved from her side to hover by her head, making her eyes shut once more. “... Na… omi?” The weight on the other side of her body pulled away, the sound of something heavy getting pushed along the floor. Her hands went down to push herself up off the floor, a throbbing pain now shooting in her head. Blurry vision, still clouded by tears, barely made out the quivering creature backed up against one of the walls. Legs swivel underneath, and start to pull herself back up. But apparently, the fall took more of a toll on her than perceived. Next thing she knew, she was falling backwards, towards the bottom of the stairs. And before she knew it, the claws closed in around her waist once more. A loud crash, a tangling of limbs, skin and scales plummeted to the bottom of the room, a pair of groans sounding out. Naomi tumbled out of the creatures arms, arms shaking as the creature hit his head. “Ouuuh, I can taste my brain… ye alright there ‘Omi?” “.... where did you get that shitty ass nickname from? Only…” A pause, then a shift as Naomi rolled to her other side to stare, eyes widening. “... no. You.. goddamit you-” “Heya Naomi. Been a while since you visited the clinic.” Blitz chuckled, his large lower fangs making his smile lopsided. “I almost thought yah forgot about me.” “You… you got fucking arrested! I tried calling you up for weeks, I- FUCK-” Naomi tried to sit back up but immediately fell back down, hissing and grabbing her head. “That… god that hurts like a- what are you doing?!” THe words devolved into a squawk, her body getting swept up into Blitz’s arms. “Put me down! Just because you’re finally taller than me doesn't mean you get to carry me around.” “HAH! I was just gonna bring you down to Seb’s, but now that you mention it… “ His tail slithered as he started down the next hallway, grinning widely down at the woman in his arms. “I am taller than you now. What did you say that one time? The day I’m taller than you, you’re paying for all the takeout till the rest of time?” Naomi huffed, shaking her head as she chuckled, turning to stare at the path forwards. “... Fuck you Blitz…” “Nah, ain't gonna do that sheila. Now let’s get you to the shop, I’m not big on my buddies dying on me..”
