So after taking a moment to ponder the poem you just read and pocketing the bobby pin you walked over to the utility room. There was nothing you could really do in preperation apart from listen as closely as you could when you opened it. Your eyes were met with nothing , pitch black darkness. As you took a step closer into the utility room you heard an echo on your footstep, and even a slight draft. Whatever this room was it was a lot bigger than a standard utility room, but you couldnt see your hand in front of your face, the lighting was not sufficient. [u]Walk further in or search for another exit from the shower room?[/u] [@Xandrya] [h2][b]8951[/b][/h2] Your fight or flight instinct quickly turns to fight, and you attempt to charge the man half blind with your powerful body. The intimidation on the man is real, his shaky and erratic movements are a result of fear and it becomes worse as you begin to charge. Although he has just enough time to let off another crossbow bolt, he doesn't commit to aiming it as he is turning on his heels to run as he fires. This time the bolt that was aimed for center mass, grazes past the upper part of your right thigh, opening an average sized cut which starts to bleed immediately. The adrenaline numbs you to the pain completely. Although he got a head start on his run you are much much faster, so fast that you catching him results in your bodies colliding, hitting him with the weight and force of your larger frame. The shaky man is sent flying backwards dropping his crossbow and toppling over the rails of the platform. You had no idea how high up you were until you had to wait a few seconds before hearing the sickening crack of impact, you had just knocked into a man to fall to his death. Everything around you seems silent. [u] Now bleeding from the leg and the eye you can walk along the corridor on the level you are on or go up the next flight of stairs.[/u] [@King Tai] [h2][b]7064[/b][/h2] As you spin around and shout your command with your gun pointed at the door. Suddenly the sound of footsteps stops. There is nothing said, but there is elevated breathing coming from the person. You can't tell if it's male or female but you sense some level of fear from the pace of the breaths. Without too much warning the person takes off in a sprint, you can hear heavy-ish footsteps thumping down the corridor from which you came, becoming quieter and quieter as distance increases. It seems like you are alone again. [u]Head back towards where you came to follow the person, search the gory room, or leave the office and head through the adjacent door?
