His brother used that opening to land a drop kick on it's back pushing it forward towards Saint. Who was already in a prime position to land another attack, he could blasted it again with is talisman. But he preferred to use his fists, he dashed in and landed a strong blow to it's ribcage with is left. Then another with his right hand, his combo didn't stop there. He seamlessly landed a low kick to it's leg, and used the same leg landing another kick to it's stomach and used the same leg again landing the last blow to it's skull knocking it off completely. It was a rather quick series of kicks that he practiced since he was young. A soft grin on his face that he landed it here against a mad zombie.
Saint watched the head of the creature roll away. "Is it crazy that we're actually getting used to this now?" he asked his big brother, it was asked in jest but it was something worth noting. Fighting zombies, machines and other monsters was now nearly becoming common practice. Like he thought during their initial tutorial run, this would actually be allot more fun of the world wasn't in total shambles.
"A base of operations." Saint said out loud processing his brother's words. It wasn't a bad idea at all. It was just funny to him that Val thought about it being in a Macy's. "Haha. Of course our base of operations would be in a Macy's where all the designer stuff is." he joked. "But your right this would serve nicely as a temporary base for us." Saint agreed. "But do you think it's worth teaming with other people?" Saint asked him now thinking about it some more. Other people were bound to start teaming up and forming groups, they would probably have to do the same thing eventually.

Saint nodded as his brother told him to be careful, a confident grin was on his face as well. He was getting a handle on his abilities more and more, of course this was all still odd to him. But in order to survive they had to have a grasp on there abilities, even Mio and Botan as they were fighting starting to fight with more confidence. So far it had been tough and even overwhelming, but they were going to win this. He was certain of it.
The nurse zombie quickly grabbed another zombie next to her, and stuck her large syringe in it's body taking out some black fluid. For a few seconds Saint was taken aback by this, it caught him off guard. But when she turned the syringe towards herself, he started to run towards her. She was going to empower herself somehow, and Saint didn't have the intention of just sitting back and letting it happen. But he was to late, she tossed the now husk like body at Saint forcing him to duck low and dodge and stop his pursuit. He sucked his teeth, now the fight was going to be that much harder. She was now much larger and the muscles were bulkier. But he had to remain confident.
She was running at him with the intention of stabbing him with the syringe, Saint was able to narrowly dodge it but it did cut the lower part of his jacket. Using the small opening Saint landed a strong punch to it's jaw with his left, and another with his right. Dazing it for a few seconds, Saint tried to take advantage but it was able to regain it's footing faster than what he anticipated. It swung it's syringe easily, Saint narrowly avoiding the sharp side of it. But he was struck by its blunt other side, and he was sent stumbling back a few feet. It hurt but he could still fight, now on his back. The zombie running toward him aiming to impale him with the syringe, Saint was right next to the husk body that was tossed earlier. He grabbed it with both hands and used it to defend himself the syringe stabbing the body and avoiding Saint. A sigh of relief came over him, but he couldn't relax just yet.
With the syringe still impaled Saint used the body and forced the syringe to the right. Giving his talisman a clear shot at the left side of it's face, it fired at point blank range blasting off a side of it's face. But it was still standing, Saint moved in punched the other side of it's face forcing it down on the ground. His attack didn't stop though, he kept punching until it couldn't get back up. Saint stood up and wiped his hands on it's body and let out a breath. That was another mini boss taken care of.

Saint grinned at his brother. "New clothes ain't a bad idea at all, now that you mention it." Saint rubbed his chin thinking about adding new clothes to his closet. Both him and brother liked to dress well, if anything he picked it up from Val. What did excite him was the fact that they didn't need to pay at all. Was this theft though? Was someone really expecting them to pay for something in the state the world is in now. After helping his big brother with the door, Saint would wrap his arm around him. "So you know this technically means we're stealing together." he said jokingly.
Saint was pretty sure Val didn't steal one thing in his life, he probably did but in comparison to Saint Val was definitely the good one. Not that Saint was a bad person, he was actually rather kind and understanding most times. But he did have a extensive history of theft, there was just a rush of excitement that he couldn't explain about it. On top of that Saint could be pretty greedy if he really got his hands on something that he liked. "Aaahhh the Aito brothers stealing together, who would've thought. I'll tell ya who. Me! I knew my big brother would come around one day and join me in my endeavors." Saint said he was just joking like he normally would.
Heading to the escalator to take care of the zombie that was up on the second floor. Saint was stretching his arms and then his neck. "Yes. Lets take care of the zombie so we can steal in peace." he said with a grin. Getting to the second floor just like his brother said there was one zombie, but it was large and rather muscular one. With a long chain in it's hands, swinging it around. That same chill came down his back, and his talisman appeared by his side. The zombie didn't back away despite being in Saint's presence. "It's a strong one." Saint said confirming his thoughts.
Saint started to run the zombie's left side, drawing it's attention. It swung its chain towards him, but Saint ducked and rolled out the way. Regaining is balance he gestured towards the zombie having his talisman fire off it's projectile blasting the zombie right in the face. Giving a good opening from his brother.

As everyone started to run towards the next room, Saint started to run behind them. With him as the last the zombies started to slow down a little bit. A grin appeared on his face as he remembered that certain undead and spirits would actually try and avoid him depending on their stats. He didn't have the really cool astral plane, teleporting into different realms abilities that his brother had. But he was liking this exorcist class, at leas against the undead. If they were facing something else it probably be allot harder, was it luck? Or was it set up that way?
Making into the next room, it was probably the most grotesque thing they saw yet. Just mangled bodies all over the place, and it smelled so bad it made Saint start to tear up. These were the bodies of people whom failed to beat the boss, it was horrific to look at. And Saint didn't want to be in here longer than he needed to. Neither did anyone else, even Val who would normally scout ahead using his ability just went up the ladder normally. Saint thought it was odd, but he was sure his brother knew what he was doing. He then remembered what Val was saying earlier, how he had hunch that after each mini boss room there would be a resting room right after. He was probably betting on that, one could only hope he was right.
Everyone making their way up the latter, it was a resting place indeed. "Thank God." Saint said sitting on the ground and leaning on the wall. Taking massive gulps of water, and taking some much needed to rest. Mio and Botan spoke a few things out loud, probably thoughts that were going through the entire groups mind. How this whole thing had been entirely insane, and how difficult it has been. But Saint was a determined guy, sometimes to determined and ambitious.
After that Val did his usual thing and astral projected into the next room, for any possible enemies. After some time he came back letting the group know what he found, the next room was nothing apparently. But the room after had a another mini boss from the sounds of it, but this time she was with other zombies as well. It sounded like the group was losing a bit of confidence, as they went on things got tougher and tougher. "We have to keep going. We're almost there. Almost at the finish line." he said out loud. "We can win."
Saint stood up walking towards the exit, he was determined to win. "Since the lower ranks of the undead will avoid me, I'll be the first one to enter that mini boss room. The...nurse with the syringe she'll come straight towards me just like the last one we fought did. But chances are the others won't. You guys can take advantage of that opening. Leave the mini boss to me, i'll get it done." Saint said with determination. If everyone agreed, he would start to move up.
Like his brother said the every next room was empty, just full of empty hospital beds. Saint kept walking forward towards the next door. Before pushing it open he took a breath to calm himself and then opened it. Seeing a nasty looking nurse zombie holding a giant syringe, and other zombies. Without hesitation he ran forward his eyes focused on the nurse zombie as she started to run towards him with the pointy end of the syringe in front. His passive ability of warding off weaker undead worked, and the other's didn't approached him in fact they took steps back.

Sain't eyebrow raised when the person that approached him started to speak in a Russian accent. And started talking about how he wasn't a player but he was a spirit, whose name had been forgotten. And now he had found a new vessel in Saint to go back home and become someone new. By that point Saint had a completely confused and disturbed look on his face, he knew this had to be some kind of joke. But to honest it wasn't a very good one. But it was so bad, that he actually found himself letting out a little chuckle. "Oh you’re a weird guy. Very random but that it made me laugh a little." Saint said looking at the stranger.
He figured he was bound to start running into other people, and some of them were going to be weirder than others. Especially in the world they live in now. The term player was something Saint had made up in his mind, since everything happening to the world was more or less taken from a game. He wasn't sure if others were using a different term. But it did make him think about something, was every remaining human on earth now apart of this? He had to imagine so, but in truth he had no idea. Sami reached his hand out and introduced himself. Saint shook his hand and grinned. "Names Saint. And I figure with all types of threats roaming the world now, it's a good idea to train against them. Be it monster, machine, spirit and more. Also you cloud say I specialize in spirits." Saint answered him honestly. He started to walk forward and looked around to find a good place to do just that.
"What about you though Sami? Looking for bodies to posses?" Saint asked him with a chuckle. With a series of jumps getting some higher ground on top of some large rocks. Looking out to see if he could spot anything worthy of interest.

Sain't projectile hit it's mark, but based on the damage it did he felt pretty confident that this was a mini boss. Considering that his class allowed him to deal double damage against undead, and this thing was still standing was saying something. It was able to block his attack with the baton it was holding. This annoyed Saint, but before he could do anything else the zombie let out a really loud yell, causing most of them to cover their ears.
In most zombie games whenever a zombie let out a loud shout, that usually signaled for others to come over. Which from the sounds of it is exactly what was going to happen. His brother shouting that this needed to end fast, and Saint definitely agreed. The Mini boss was running towards Saint, but his brother had his back as always as he landed a critical strike with his axe hitting it's leg, and a random lamp smashed it's head knocking it over. Saint chuckled to himself and all his focus was on the mini boss, that was running towards him again. "This thing is relentless!" he said but he wasn't scared. Saint gestured towards the zombie and his talisman activated again firing another screeching projectile that hit it's shoulder this time!
Saint took advantage of the opening and run towards it, his fight clenched and landed a strong haymaker to it's jaw. He followed that up with a another strike from his fist hitting it's ribcage breaking it into pieces. Landing as series of more punches, he finished it off by landing a roundhouse kick to it's face knocking it's head right off as it splattered on the window next to them. "We should move!" Saint shouted as he saw the other zombies coming down the hall. Pointing two fingers in their direction, his talisman glowing it's feint white he fired off a series of shots at any zombies that were getting to close to the group. Trying his best to by them time!

The big apple. This was not the way Saint envisioned visiting New York City, but here he was. After Uni Saint did have ideas of moving out here, with the thoughts of the super fast life style would fit him. Maybe he could also stay out of trouble, but he doubted it. He could have made allot of money out here in New York though. Some times he convinced himself that New York was his future hime. But who knows now, he looked around at the barren city. This wasn't the NY that he envisioned not to long ago, they still had their famous skyscrapers though. Some of them torn down, and others so long that could literally reach the stars. This was the earth they lived in now, Saint let out air from his nose. His hands in his pockets as he looked around just a bit.
They came here with a purpose to find their little sister, to get some clues of here whereabouts even. Neither of them believed that she didn't make it, they refused to unless it was proven. Their sister was to smart for that. She was out there somewhere, making her way and they were going to find her. They stayed close enough to the waygate, Valentine had already gone off in his astral projection form to look ahead for anything. Saint was more than used to it, by this point. The use of abilities, powers, skills even weapons were commonplace at this point. It ensured survival. The only annoying thing was when Val used his powers, he had to be the babysitter for his body. He didn't mind it really, but it did keep him from going to far away.
Looking around Saint noticing all the cars around, cars that probably all used to be own by people. A small smile appeared on his face he wondered if the cars around were still functioning. He had thoughts of trying to hotwire it, but decided not to. Instead he leaned against the side of the car waiting for his brother to come back.
Eventually he did. "Jeez took you long enough." Saint said to him Val stated they're going to head into the Macy's no one was in there. "Really? I thought there would be a whole bunch of people in there." Saint asked thinking there had to be people in the large shopping store. But if his brother said there wasn't he believed him. He started following him into the Macy's

Saint took off his oversized flannel shirt and tied it around his waist, walking down a narrow path stretching his shoulders. If he was going to test his abilities he wanted to be able to move freely with no restrictions. This place was going to serve as a pretty good training area, hopefully. He heard some of the talk say there was loads of undead here, but not only that but machines as well. He was an exorcist meaning his specialty was dealing with the undead and spirits alike. But that didn't mean he would only be facing those kind of enemies in the future, this new world had all tops of threats that could kill him. He needed to be ready face any kind of threats, not jus the ones he specialized in.
Saint began to look around and let his eyes take in the sights, it was somehow majestic and horrific. Skyscrapers now teared down and in pieces, houses and other large pieces of buildings and lands just an absolute wreck. There was also floating lands up above that he had no idea how to get to. But that wasn't his focus right now, there was definitely undead around. But most of the weak ones were avoiding him, just like his passive ability said they would. But not all undead and spirts would avoid him, only the weak ones for right now.
But before he could make a move anywhere, he was interrupted with a voice and the presence of someone else. Saint turned towards them with a surprised look on his face. It was another player and he asked Saint a question. "Wow! Hey you scared me for a second. Don't know what can pop on you here. I'm uuhhh just doing some adventuring...and some training I think." Saint said struggling to find the words to answer him. Mostly because he had no big reason for being here, other than being curious and wanted to get some practice in. "What about you? Your another...player right?"

"Went to a different realm?" Saint asked out loud, he didn't expect an answer back he was mostly still processing what his brother had just told him. Did he really just do that? How was that even possible, and then Saint was chuckling to himself. How was any of this possible? And why was he still questioning it? If anything what his brother just did, was open up the possibilities for what abilities could be. So far they all were so varied and had different usages. It was all just really eye opening stuff to him.
Before heading into the next room, his brother astral projected to check for any threats. It was becoming routine at this point, Saint waited by his brother's unconscious body till he came back. After some time his body awoke just like it did before, Saint was getting less and less freaked out the more times it happened. Hearing his brother say he had a path to follow Saint nodded and followed him. They could hear the screams and shots of other people fighting and possibly dying. It was sad, but they had to keep moving forward.
The next area was an empty hallway, it definitely looked like it ripped straight out of a horror film. The only light coming from the windows, but because of the clouds the light was shifting. It would be dark for a few moments and then the light would come back on. But when the lights did hit the area again, there was figure there down the hallway.
"Could be another Mini-boss." Saint said out loud as his talisman came floating by his side. He wasn't to inclined to just run forward and start attacking since he didn't what this enemy was capable of. Instead he took a safer approach, having his talisman fire off a screeching flaming projectile towards the enemy and see what that might do to it.

This was allot to get used to, Saint thought as he exited the waygate and entered a new area. The entire world was like a real life game now. The exorcist looked back at it, with a raised eye brow and then looked ahead and took a deep breath. But he instantly regretted it as the stink of the area violated his nose. "Uuuggghh." he attempted to cover his nose with his jacket, and was ready to turn back. But stopped himself, he couldn't turn away after just getting here. He told himself he would come here and train and learn more about his abilities, he had to see it through.
He was in a medium risk area now that the term was popularized. There was area's around the world that were allot more dangerous than others now, some having more monsters and whatever else there is in them. This area is known for having a mix of undead creatures and machines roaming about. In the tutorial he learned quite a bit a about his abilities and his class, but he wanted to get more comfortable with them. It was becoming clear in this new world, you had to be strong and powerful. He did not intend to fall behind at all. Especially since he would need to be strong in order to find his sister.
"Alright let's get started."

Looking at the split head on the ground, the adrenaline was probably still pumping in his veins. But it had not yet processed that he just took down a large monstrous looking zombie. Like he was actually in a video game, he looked at the talisman that was floating beside him. He was growing quite accustomed to it, and seeing it fire off some kind of energy flaming projectile it started to make him like it even more. But now was not the time for him to admire his newly acquired abilities.
They had to move and now, Valentine looked around and headed into the room the large zombie came from. Saint clutched the butchers knife in his hand and followed after the group. There was a ladder and door, but before they just decided to wing it. Valentine used his ability to astral project and see what was ahead. A genius idea, that ability of his was extremely useful. He was the perfect scout.
After a few seconds his brother's eyes opened again, giving Saint a slight surprise. "I've gotta get used to that I guess." he said looking at his brother. Once Val confirmed there was no danger, everyone started to head up to the next floor. The next room was empty and from his brother's comments might have been a resting spot, after beating the last room. Hopefully he was right. Saint took some time to catch his breath, and now that he was calm he looked down at the cleaver in his hand that was covered in blood. He jogged to the corner and puked, letting out a sigh. He had to let it out, but he was fine or would be just after a few minutes. He used the sleeve of his jacket to wipe his mouth, took a couple of deep breaths. And was ready to get back into it.
His brother had already astral projected into the next room and came back, stating he didn't see anything up ahead. But Saint kept cautious if this was the resting room that meant the next room had to have something dangerous inside. Saint's guard was up and his talisman floating by his side, ready to fire a projectile at whatever came. A chill came down his back, and his talisman was glowing the sickly white aura. Undead had to be nearby.
And it was showing their beedy little eyes, very very large undead rats started to come from the dark corner of the room. "Fucking rats, are you serious!?" After a few seconds all them started to scurry towards the group. One pounced up and tried to attack Saint, but his fist broke it's bony undead body and sent it flying a few feet. The next one was running towards him on the ground, but the sharp end of the cleaver split it's head and it met it's end quickly. Seeing another running around, Saint pointed at it and his talisman fired off the same screeching flaming projectile and blasted the rats into bits and pieces. It was a nasty site, but Saint looked at his talisman and smirked. Hearing his brother shout instantly broke his attention though!
He looked towards Val as a rat was jumping towards him. "Val!!" Saint shouted concerned for his brother. Then he vanished somehow, did he activate another ability? He had too? He reappeared and smashed the rat over and over. Saint looked shocked but not because of what the rat, but the ability his brother just used. "These abilities are wild man." he said with a light chuckle.

[googlefont=Lato][googlefont=Satisfy] 
With all in agreement they stared to head to the west staircase, hopefully it would prove to be the best decision. Saint wasn't the type to run from a fight, but these weren't just normal fights and that was allot more at stake here. They had to make the smart decisions here. Hearing the screams, shouts and sounds of others fighting for their lives was a reminder of this.
Making their way to the next floor, Val was trying to get in multiple rooms looking for the first one that would open. After some failed attempts they would find a double door, that led to a mess hall. As soon as they got in, they started to make a blockade with the tables and chairs that were around. Hopefully it would provide some protection for a time, if they were to get attacked. Once the blockade was done, they would split up and fan the room. Saint himself went towards one of the windows, to get a clearer look at what it looked like outside. The giant monolith was still there with the purple digital energy still coming from it. There were lots of fighting going on in, some between people other between monsters. It was chaotic, was this the world they live in now?
Saint attention went to Val when he said he found some vending machines, and proceeding to break into them. He watched his big brother use his menu and inventory, and coped him to do the same thing. His brother was getting a really good handle of how this menu stuff worked, it was wise that Saint did the same. He watched Valentine dump things into this inventory, and he took somethings as well. The menu was pretty useful, it was actually more than useful. It allowed them to carry all sorts of items, without them actually having to be carried on the person. From food, snacks, water, items. They could probably store weapons and other things as well. Like an actual in game inventory. "Could probably place all sorts of things in here." Saint said out loud getting ideas for the future.
After some time Valentine recommended that they use this time and space to rest. Which Saint had no issues with, they still had allot of time. Plus it would be good to pace themselves gather their thoughts, and more importantly figure out who this biker guy really was. Saint was the last one to sit by the group simple because he was distracted with inventory system worked.
Botan introduced himself, and commented that no one better make fun of his name. Saint chuckled at this though he had admit he could understand how he felt. Having the name Saint Claire for a first name, and some people constantly calling him Claire led to quite of bit of fights. "Can't say I blame ya big guy." Saint replied. Botan than said his class and his ability, he was able to deal some damage from the sounds of it. That would be nice to have another clear dmg type class on the team, with all the threats running around. Once they all got a clear understanding of what Botan could do. Valentine started to speak about everything they've seen so far and putting it into some perspective.
There was not much to add, as Val pretty much got everything. "The task while could prove difficult considering we don't know whats up ahead, it's simple. We only need one person to hook the IV bag to the marked patient. But I'm sure there will be something, or someone thats going to make that simple task very hard. So I believe when it comes down to it, because of Mio's abilities. You Mio might have to be the one that places their bag on the marked patient. But thats just my thoughts right now, who knows how things will end up once we get there." Saint said looking at Mio with a confident look on his face. "But if there is a...boss. Leave that to us."
Valentine said he was going to try and use his skill and gather more information. Now was as good as time as any, Saint looked at his brother intensely to see how his powers ended up working. From what he could tell his brother looked the same, though in some kind of meditative sate. Considering how astral projection worked his brother could probably see them but they couldn't see him now. Saint curiously poked Val's unconscious face. Now they waited.
After some time Saint started to hear some sounds by the door they blocked. A cold chill went down his spine, the same that happened with that first zombie had formed on the other floor. "Guys get ready for a fight." Saint said looking at the door, he looked back at his brother and noticed he wasn't awake yet. "Hey Val its time to come back buddy!" he shouted in hopes his brother would hear his voice. The glass doors shattered and Saint rolled his jacket sleeves just a little bit as he got ready for a big fight. He was in front of his brother's unconscious body ready to protect it if any zombies came over. Suddenly a sinkhole started to form right under the door and some of the zombie started to fall in he sink hole. Saint didn't know how or why, but he thanked God they got lucky with that one.
It didn't get rid of all of them, with six slow moving zombies making their win. Saint got in a fighting stance in front of his brother a zombie heading towards them, Saint waited for the zombie to reach in for a grab. He avoided it and smashed it's face with a heavy quick back hand fist. Then Val spoke, he was back! "Jeez! Just in time!" Saint said out loud. Another Zombie came towards him and Saint landed a quick hook punch to it's jaw knocking it off completely then kicked the body away. Hearing his brothers words about having to get to the next floor, and looking at the sinkholes. "Yeeeaaa figured as much." Saint replied.
Suddenly there was a banging on the door that was much to loud to ignore, Saint turned his attention to the sound. And saw a large metal cleaver covered in blood that hard torn apart the doors. The figure stepped forward and it was much bigger zombie in a white bloodied cooking apron. The monstrosity looked at them and it had a wicked smile on it's face, and it started to chuckle. "What the fuck is that?" This one was obviously different from the others, it started to move and it wasn't slow either. It cut through any thing in it's way and kicked the debris at Val, Mio and Botan as it charged towards Saint Claire aiming to take off his neck. Saint was nervous for a second, but his instincts kicked in. He dodged by dive rolling to his left avoiding the swing.
He wanted to activate his ability and the talisman that hovered next to him started to glow a sickly white aura, and in the next moment it fired off a screeching will-o-wisps projectile directly at the large meat cleaving zombie. It hit it's mark! Hitting it right on it's shoulder taking it's arm off completely, dropping the meat cleaver to the ground. Saint looked at the talisman in shock, he knew what the ability was but seeing for the first time was crazy to him."Shit! What the fuck!" Did he really have some kind of powers now??
The groans of the zombie brought him back to reality, as it ran towards him with it's left arm remaining. Saint focused again swayed and ducked under the attempt to grab him and with the opening landed a series precise punches to it's ribcage damaging it. It tried to swipe at him but he moved out of the way, and grabbed the meat cleaver on the floor from it's right arm that was still on the ground. Using both hands he brought it up and split the zombies skull in two, and struck again and again making sure it was done. Getting some blood on him in the process. The large zombie dropped to ground it's skull split in two and smashed. Saint was wiped the blood off his head, and took a deep breath in and out. "...ok...ok. Lets...lets keep going." he said as he struggled to find the proper words.

Hearing his brothers questions on how the debuff, works Saint looked at the ability once more and began to whisper. "I can fire the talisman I guess like a projectile. When it makes contact the talisman is permanently affixed for a set time until it's dispelled. When marked the target looses power and defensive stats. Also after a certain amount of time, the target can be thrown 20 feet in a direction of my choosing. While using this ability my basic core ability cannot be used." Saint gave just about the full explanation of the ability for Val and Mio, just so they knew what the limits were. "That sounds pretty damn cool."
"Your right. Your ability shouldn't be used until we really need it. We don't know whats up ahead on the upper floors. When the times comes to use your astral projection and gather that information we'll know." Saint replied to his brother when discussing his ability. "Same goes for you Mio, the ability to hide within shadows and not making a sound could come in pretty clutch."
Hearing his brothers question, he remembered what his anchor stated. "It said Ghost. Probably explains why i'm an exorcist class. Rogue was an option too, I guess that one makes more sense considering." Saint said with a small smile. He was trying to find a little bit of light and humor in this dire situation they were in. Usually when Saint was in his element, he was more talkative and ambitious even a bit boastful. But considering everything that was happening right now it was hard to be any of those things.
Val had figured out how the party system worked a little, and Saint accepted it without wasting a beat. "I guess this is really like some kind of rpg system. Stats, systems, abilities, skills and parties. If the world wasn't being destroyed, this would be pretty sick."
After Saint had made quick work of the zombie, he chuckled at his brothers comments. Before turning his head towards the elevator what happened to the man earlier was about to happen again for the ones that got bitten. Truly like something from a zombie movie, getting on the elevator was probably out of the question now. His brother asked what he thought, either taking the west staircase or trying to fight to get on the elevator. Saint was tempted to keep fighting, but he felt in his chest that it was unwise. "We can't risk fighting all these things here, and being on the elevator might expose us to something else to god knows what. Lets head to the stair case." Saint said heading to that staircase. He looked the new guy up and down and gave him a look. "I don't trust you and if you do anything that puts us in any danger, you will regret it." He said with a stern voice. Saint had a lack of trust in people, he knew some not so good people and got a glimpse of just how vile humans can be when push comes to shove. He's had people betray him in the past, and all it taught him was to not trust anyone. Unless it was Valentine or Mio he wasn't inclined to trust any words from anyones mouth in this place.

Saint felt the beating in his chest, was all this really real? Was all this actually happening right now? Perhaps it was time to start believing that it was, especially if they wanted to stay alive. The lights flickered about three times and the skeletons were gone, was it a trick? Was something happening with his eyes, or worse his mind. Saint gently pressed the temples of his head and tried to calm himself down, and took a breath.
They started to walk down and Saint noticed his brother was looking at that blue screen that popped up for him earlier. Was he really starting to believe all this? For a second he thought maybe he should do the same, but shook such thoughts. He had to call his parents and his sister, but of course his cell phone wasn't working at all. "Damn it, can't call mom, dad or sis. No signal whatsoever." he said in frustration. He looked up and started to notice the other people, some were either in panic mode, screaming or oddly enough checking that blue screen status window. Even Mio was doing too.
Instead of doing that, Saint decided to look around the environment. They were in a hospital but it didn't really feel or seem like one. Valentine started to make his way towards the administration's desk. Saint kept his eyes open for anything dangerous or just weird, with everything happening right now. This is when people started to act their worst, when desperation overtakes human decency. As Val tried to get something to work, a large man most likely from some kind of biker gang walked towards them. Saint eyed him up and down, getting a measure of him. If it came to it, he was confident he could take him.
But for now it didn't come to that. In fact the seemed to be just as lost as they were. But he did help the group discover something very weird, somehow someway when they came through that back entrance of the hospital and ended up here which was now the front. With all the chaos going on they must have not noticed it. Did they teleport? Just how was this possible. Maybe all this stuff was real, Saint whose mindset was to not believe any of this was starting to shift. The next moment he lost himself he picked up a chair and threw against the wall in sheer frustration and anger, he made sure it was nowhere near anybody to get hit.
He pounded his fists onto the desk once, and took a deep breath letting the air in and letting it out. Things were looking bleak and worse yet they couldn't figure out what was going on. Then another blue screen came up for everyone to see, Saint sighed and looked up.

A game? This was utterly insane, his brother was over it and tried to leave but of course the doors would not open at all. It only made another screen pop on the door. "Fuck you! Let us out of here!" Saint shouted in frustration.

(11:58:50)
Saint's eyes widened as the information started to process in his mind, was all this real? It-it had to be at this point. He took a breath and punched the desk a few more times and breathed out. He closed his eyes for a few moments and opened them up again, waving his hands in the air to bring up that blue status window. Eventually after a couple of tries it worked. He started to read about his class, his core, abilities, passives and etc. He was an exorcist, the class he accidentally clicked on trying to get the stupid screen out of his face. Now he realized what the voice meant, by saying he thought he would have chosen rogue.
Saint came into the huddle and heard his brother's class. Planeswalker. He could astral project and teleport but it had a cool down. Saint looked very intrigued. Astral projection and teleporting would be great tool for a thief. But right now wasn't about that. "I'm...a exorcist. Oddly enough. I ward away the undead and spirits. And I can fire off projectiles from a talisman. Also I can fire the talisman at someone to debuff their power and defensive stats." Saint said trying to understand it all himself, after listening to Mio's abilities. It seemed like Saint was in the DPS position. He stood up and summoned that talisman his class mentioned it hovered in front of his face. He looked a little surprised and then let out a small little chuckle. "Haha. This is the talisman I stole from the old man with the pawn shop when we were kids. He was always telling us spooky ghost stories, and to watch out for ghosts and spirits. Said this things could summon ghosts and crap. Tried it for like a day and lost the thing...guess it left quite the impression on me anyways." Saint said to his brother, maybe he would remember the old man with the pawn shop. For whatever reason his class was linked to this talisman.
Hearing a scream the group made their way over, Saint prepared himself mentally. Whatever happened next could be completely insane, but no matter what it was they had to face it and beat it if they wanted to live. Eventually making their way to an elevator, Saint took a picture on his phone of the hospital map. The elevator was to crowded to get on, so they had to wait for the next one. But they could follow it because of the indicators. It went to the fifth floor and then stopped and came back, a rush of nervousness hit Saint but he shook the feeling away. Now was not the time to be nervous. He did get a chill down his spine again though.
The elevator doors opened what was inside was horrific, blood everywhere and bodies bitten and mauled. Saint had a look of concern on his face and his talisman started to glow a feint white as if it was ready to be in use. One man jumped out with a large bite mark on his arm, his bicep missing completely. A woman was still alive as well, who seemed to not be hurt but just in shock. Other people around started to help the two. But what happened to the man next was like watching a real life zombie movie, he vomited blood and his body started to change. The spell was awful. Saint took the orange scarf that was around his neck and covered his mouth and nose to block the smell.
The lady started to scream out on how he was becoming one of those monsters now. All this was real. There was no denying it anymore, there was no way around it. This was all real, and now they had to win they had to fight. They had to get to the top floor and the elevators were right there. No more being frozen in place they had to move and they had to move now. "Val, Mio we have to move and we have to fight!" Saint said with some oomph in his voice. He shook away his hesitation and started to run towards the zombie, his right hand clenched into a fist. But surprisingly enough the zombie moved away from him, as if it was trying to avoid him entirely. Saint had a puzzled look on his face, then he remembered he was an Exorcist! He wards away undead/spirits with a [WIL] lower than his [PWR] he grinned as he remembered the second part of his passive. If they cannot escape they take double damage from his attacks. Closing the distance Saint aimed a strong kick to the zombies chest sending it flying back crashing against the wall seemingly killing it in one blow!
Saint Claire was amazed and also in shock from what just happened, he looked at his hands and the rest of his body. "I think I like being an exorcist."
