[color=lightgreen]“Ahaha, I know you’re trying to be stoic but, you’re not [i]that[/i] reliable.”[/color] Ava joked with a smile layered in fear. It was easy to tell she was confused and scared as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings while holding her hands close to her heart. One second, she was running behind Alex as he chased after laurence for some reason or another, and the next, every living being in sight disappeared. It felt unreal and Ava was unsure whether it actually was. But although her knees were trembling, Ava tried to put considerable effort into keeping her composure, taking a deep breath in and out, and turning her gaze to Alexander.

Taking a step towards him, she extended her hand until it gently pushed against Alex’s chest. From her expression, it seemed like she was testing something, but as she looked at Alex, blinking a few times, she quickly retracted her hand.
[color=lightgreen]“Answer a few questions for me won’t ya?”[/color] Although she still sounded confused and on edge, a sparkle in her eyes revealed a sense of curiosity emerging. [color=lightgreen]“Laurence just disappeared behind a corner that leads nowhere, and when you went after him, we uhh…”[/color] She raised her arm to point towards the sky. [color=lightgreen]“The sky turned green, and all the cars and people disappeared [i]right[/i]?”[/color] As soon as she finished her question, she stared at Alex for multiple seconds before starting to walk back and forth, frantically mumbling to herself.

[color=lightgreen]“Please, just confirm I’m not going [i]crazy[/i] over here.”[/color] She snapped at Alex, who returned nothing but a grim, stoney glare. His eyes honestly looked a bit dead as she continued to pace, murmuring to herself before being interrupted by a firm grip. Looking up, she saw Alex looking down at her, perpetually looking pissed off per usual.

[color=f26522]"You aren't, but we can't just loaf around here like a buncha' chucklenuts."[/color] Eloquent as usual as she felt Alex gently tug her arm with that same steely expression he always had, though she swore he looked a tad softer at the moment. [color=f26522]"We need to get going if we are going to find a way out of here; lets walk and talk."[/color]

Still dazed by their circumstances, Ava looked up at the tall boy. It was somewhat comforting to know she wasn’t all alone, and that combined with her curiosity to find out what’s going on gave her enough courage to start walking. [color=lightgreen]“Y-yeah sure.”[/color]
