˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖   𐙚   ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖

After the small interaction between me and blondie, the door fully opens and everybody rushes out. Probably to find somewhere safe to hide or run from the taggers.

It's all so stressful, and I'm not really sure of where to go or what to do.
And. I would follow along, but the problem is... I don't know where they will come from.

I make my way out of the small room at some point, trying to slightly follow the crowd, but not wanting to get myself killed. I ponder about it before deciding that I think they will come out on the first floor.

I struggle slightly and get myself out of the small crowd of panicking people. If I want to survive, I need a strategy. The building is in kind of a weird shape, So I have a good idea.

I make my way to the end of the hall and up the stairs, and.. kind of slowly. I hate stairs.
I try my best to hurry up, bringing myself to the top floor, where I catch my breath. This is all happening so quickly.

And just to prove my point, my phone dings and the same voice from earlier speaks from it.

"3 minutes have passed. 2 minutes until the tagger is realeased"

My stomach seems to jump around. After a second, I look up, searching around this floor. I look down the longer end, and down the shorter end.

As I'm about to commence in my little plan, I notice somebody has already done so. Possibly, with the same idea or plan.
It's the blondie.

I sigh softly, and go to turn around. I don't really wanna bother him, he's a little intimidating for some reason. I'm not sure why.
Before I can go down the stairs, he talks loudly, presumingly at me.

"You know, I don't bite."
He says, but when I turn around, he's looking down at the people on other floors. There's no eye contact. I softly hum before I slowly start to turn back around, facing his direction. When I start to walk towards him, he mindlessly taps the short concrete wall beside him that he's leaning on. I cautiously approach and he stays observing the people.

"These people are more action than strategy. That's how they get killed," He starts, finally looking at me. And for the first time I can see his whole face clearly.

"-But you thought otherwise. You Knew that wasn't the way to go about it, huh?"
He finishes his sentance smiles gently, looking back to the scattered people among floors. Surprisingly, there's nobody on this floor besides us.

Either they don't want to climb those stairs that much, or they didn't think of it. Either way, they are pretty retarded.

We sit in silence, but somehow it's not awkward. It's like we've beet each other before. We've known each other a while. But.. I've just met him? I don't even know his name?

"Not much of a talker, are you?"
He asks softly. I shake my head no, at his slight question. After a few moments. I decide to put my vocal cords to use until I'm cut off by the ding of our phones.

"Time is up. The tagger will now be releaaed."

Me and blondie curiously watch from overhead as almost everybody goes quiet. I notice the black haired guy and the yellow haired guy near the first floor. They are probably in trouble, I rest my head in my hands and sigh softly.

"..Idiots..."
I whisper softly. And before I can remember that I'm not alone, a small chuckle comes from the blondie.

"Yeah, you could say that." He responds gently. It makes me smile softly, this weird familiarity between us is odd. The nice, small moment soon comes to end when a giant figure with.. a horse mask?
