You're doubting? [She looks up with a raise of her brow.]

[playedgay]

Saying I have a theory would suggest that I could be disproved...

[He spoke abruptly and to the point, as if he knew precisely what was happening. Sure, there was still room to question a few things, but Jim had no intention of letting that show. He could talk a good game when he needed to.]

So we have nothing to lose. How do you suggest we press these bounds?

[playedgay]

I'm afraid their selection when it comes to tea is sub-par, or I'd have had a pot ready.

[His voice was teasing, mocking as usual. He stopped in place, half-way across the room, his eyes still glued to the detective.]

So sorry.

[rockofages]

Which?

I doubt neither in myself. [He approaches the doors, locked and barred but... There were other ways, he would find them.]

[songsandstories]

Then you doubt in me. [Her face hardens.] I do not need you to protect me. You were the one who suggested it.

[rockofages]

You're very good at puttings words in the mouths of others. [He turns to tower over her, face a mask harder and colder than hers.]

I warn you. Do not do it to me.

[songsandstories]

[She stepped back. She was used to the cruelty of men already, and she didn't want it here.] Then speak the problem.

[rockofages]

Access inside with out comprimising the barriers. [He turned from her and stalked around the side of the building. perhaps this way.]

[songsandstories]

If you can help me access one of the windows, maybe I can slip in and let you in. [Otherwise the doors seemed off limits.]

[rockofages]

Not necessary. [H pointed to a ladder, higher than perhaps she or others could reach but... Most were not him.]

I will help you up.

[songsandstories]

[She nods before moving to stand under it. He'll need to boost her up.] Can you reach it once I'm up then?

you know what you do

[ not enough fairies to be a shoujo manga.

and that's interesting to note, that ichigo would have been more comfortable being part of a shoujo manga. :|b ]

Um. Y-Yes. We should.

[ it's a very good idea, really! the best idea, in fact, considering they're likely ten, fifteen seconds away from getting pounced on my zombies, should zombies actually pounce. orihime's definitely not going to attest this idea. nope.

she just can't really comply with it, that's all.

and, again, it's not because she doesn't want to. she just can't! having used all her energy and will on that last little burst just a minute ago, she's practically jelly against ichigo right now. if she could even lift her head, she would. (though his chest is kind of comfortable...

--no, focus!) ]

...K-Kurosaki-kun? [ this is right around the time when the world should be opening up to swallow her whole. yes. ] I can't get up.

[starspangledspandex]

[He raises a hand to cover his eyes, following Loki's thoughts Eastward and he nods.]

Seems like a good place to hole up.

[rockofages]

[Loki nods, no trace of the Trickster in place.]

Then shall we? [He heads off first, moving quickly and quietly.]

[starspangledspandex]

[He nods, moving with Loki and keeping him on the side with his shield, putting something between him and the god. Steve stays as quiet as he can in combat boots, occasionally glancing behind them to make sure nothing is gaining on them but it seems as though they're not drawing anyone's attention.

The buildings rise above them soon enough and Steve frowns.]

We should barricade ourselves in one of the upper rooms. We can't be surprised from outside that way.

[rockofages]

[He notes the caution with a small smirk, but keeps his attention ahead of them, leading them through the shambling dead on either side.

Looking up to the buildings, Loki's head cocks to the side.]

Aye, but the problem is getting up there.

[starspangledspandex]

They don't have stairs where you're from?

[Steve heads up to the door of one of houses, knocks and patiently waits for an answer. When there isn't one he tries the knob, locked. They've yet to meet anyone that lays claim to owning any of these houses and Steve can only feel so bad for ghosts in the wind.

Without much debate, he brings his shield down on the door handle and busts it off; the door swings open easily and he steps into the dark, dusty room.]

Hello?

[rockofages]

[He snorts, watching Steve break in.]

No, but they do have blonde fools like you in Asgard.

[He follows after, hand lingering on one of his knives.]

And a broken door is harder to barricade.

i dont know anything

[revivify]

[ it would be less embarrassing okay!!!

except wait it would be more... maybe he hasn't properly thought this out. like most things in his life. ]

What? [ he just stares, not really registering what she's said. ] What do you mean you can't?

[ but just as she claims, she really... apparently can't... get up. well that really only leaves one choice for him, unless he wants to get eaten. he shifts underneath her, bracing himself a bit and moving his arms.

before lifting her up princess style as he gets up. it's a good thing he's still abnormally strong here!! ]

Hold tight. [ and without another word, he breaks into a run. or an attempt at a run, anyway. it's kind of hard to do while carrying her... ]

[starspangledspandex]

Thor's smarter than you give him credit for.

[Honestly, he has no idea if that's true but he'll stick up for his teammates.]

Not really the door I had in mind anyway. We can push something heavy in front of the stairs and do the same to a bedroom. I get the feeling these things aren't the smartest and they aren't very mobile.

[He takes the opportunity to poke in cupboards for food and, like he had at the last house, wrote a note detailing everything he'd done so far. He then directs any bill to be sent to SHIELD. Once this mess is over he'll take care of it properly.]

[rockofages]

It was not he to whom I referred. [Though he was a member of that group.]

Even so, another barrier is always wide against a horde. If they number enough, anything else would fail too quickly.

[Loki moves through the rooms quietly taking in note of furniture, toys scattered over the floor and family photos. His attention falls on the picture of a man with a round face and greying hair and a little girl with a big toothy smile.]

Found anything?

[rockofages]

Of course. [He makes a fist with one hand, the other bracing his wrist. He leans down.]

When I say, leap upwards. Do not fall.

[songsandstories]

[Both hands went to his biceps to steady herself before she looked up to gauge the ladder.]

Tell me when.

[rockofages]

[He nods.] Put your foot on my hands. [He glanced, calculating distance.]

[songsandstories]

[She steadied herself on him before placing her foot on his hands.]
