As you are sleeping in your low-rise apartment room in the city, you are suddenly jolted awake by the sound of gunfire from the outside. You're not sure where it exactly came from, but now other noises become evident now that you are awake; you now hear screaming and the sound of things being broken out in the hallway. Pounding feet are heard, as if people are running around a lot.
 
Outside your window, you can see signs of rioting occurring. A building across the street is on fire, and there are numerous damaged vehicles sitting around, either burnt in parking lots or wrecked from crashes on the street. Debris is strewn everywhere, and you even see several people laying on the ground, possibly dead. Some people wander around in a twitchy, aimless fashion. The majority of people just seem to be fleeing the area, whether it be by car or foot.
 
[You can stack actions to an extent.]


You put on some clothes after getting them out from some drawers. You still hear sounds of panic coming from both the street and the hallways of your room's floor.
 
[ I know, I'm just extremely tired ATM xD ]


I grab my knife quickly from the closet, and look to see if my door is locked.
 
After retrieving your small utility knife, you check your door. It is locked, although you can unlock it and leave if you so chose.
 
You look through it and see several people run just past in both directions. After a few moments, you no longer see any movement. However, suddenly someone throws themselves against your door, pounding on it with their hands. You hear a feminine voice cry; "Help, let me in!"
 
The woman immediately tries to make her way inside, but due to the chain being in place, she just ends up with her arm shoved through the entrance, flailing around. She just pleads with you, rather than really answer your question; "Please, let me in! Hurry!" She coughs.
 
The woman pushes her way through and immediately slams the door, then goes about locking it again. She then slumps down against the wall, panting. When you get a look at her, she is a younger blonde-haired woman who appears to be pale and covered with a small amount of blood.


She coughs several times into her sleeve, seeming to gag afterwards. Sniffling, she turns her head and looks at you, smiling. "Thank you," she says, slightly teary-eyed. "I was so scared out there. Thank you."
 
" What the hell is going on out there?!" I ask her panicing a little. [can I also get a layout of my apartment building and a list of items in the room?]
 
She takes a few moments to speak, beginning nervously; "I don't entirely know. I-I think that there's something going around and making people go crazy. I see...I see...I saw...people acting so weird...t-trying to kill me, even!"


[You have basic things like kitchen utensils, food, clothes, etc. You have a small backpack as well. If you think of something else to grab, just ask.]


[Here's the building in a nutshell.]

"o-ok we maybe we shouldn't stay here then." I search the apartment for any thing that could be used as a weapon, I also grab food from the kitchen.
 
In your kitchen drawers, you find a chef's knife that is a good deal larger than your utility knife. Otherwise, your room's improvised weaponry choices are scant. You look through the cupboards and toss a few noodle packets and such inside of your backpack.


The woman slowly gets back on her feet. "What do we do...What do we do...? I'm scared. I don't know what's going on- I don't feel right," she whimpered.
 
[ -.- I knew this would happen xD ]


"Clam down, we have to get out of the city." I say trying to keep my voice steady. I walk over to my closet to see what kind of jackets I have. [Can you link me the overview forum again?]
 
I make one last quick sweep of the apartment, grabbing my lighter, and deck of cards; also looking out my window to see what the street is like. "Ok let's go" I say to the woman, while opening the door.
 
[i'm off to bed. Goodnight.]


After giving the street a quick scan, it looks relatively unchanged. The woman nods in preparation, and you open the door. You quickly notice that there are at least two corpses in the hallway, along with a dropped suitcase. A janitor's cart has been turned over, and chemicals leak onto the floor.
 
[Good night]


I quickly but quitely move down the hallway. Stoping by both the suitcase and the cart to see if there is any thing usefull in them.
 
You move out into the hallway, with the woman following behind you. There doesn't appear to be anything useful in the suitcase at first glance, besides a couple loose articles of clothing.
