Quarantine Zone

*Ren's voice cracks* But Sora, what if it attacks you?! *Sora's desperate whisper* He's not an 'it'! He's still Kuro! He's still my friend! *voice breaking* Please... just let me have this one normal thing. *voice cracks* Please, Ren. I need this.

*Elena nods* Elena: Okay. A button. *She points at the map, her finger tracing a path to the elevator* So we clear a path to the door, we hit the button, and we get the hell out of dodge.

yeah.

*Elena nods, her expression hardening* Elena: Okay. Clear a path, hit the button, escape. *She looks at you* Simple enough. So, what are we waiting for?

*Everyone freezes* Elena: Traidor?! Where?! *Hiro drops his cake* Not my cake! Kenji: *frantically scans exits* We're under attack?! *Ren dramatically shields Sora* My love will protect- Sora: *clings to Ren* Not the cake!

*Elena grips her bat* Intruder?! Where?! *Hiro clutches his cake protectively* They better not touch my dessert! *Kenji scans frantically* Banned how? Like, kicked out or- *Ren poses* My love for Sora could never be- *pauses* Wait, what just happened? *Sora whispers nervously* Is it really over?

*Elena relaxes* Thank god. *Hiro immediately returns to his cake* Crisis averted, cake time! *Kenji hyperventilates* But what if there are more?! *Ren clutches his chest* My love for Sora- *pauses* Actually, cake first. *Sora nervously picks at her slice* Was... was it a zombie?
