Ooc- Very near Trafalgar Square. Not entirely sure, As I'm no Londoner. I'm a Wiltshire boy. As for Survival, Jillian only came in an hour or so ago. I think a school could support 10 people for a month or two, especially a big one.
Ic- Karen didn't resist as Brian shoved her Backwards, stumbling a bit and Standing Next to Keket. "We have the Advantage of numbers here... I think we'll be alright. Right?" She looked at Keket for backup, but blushed immediately as she felt the shawl she was still wearing against her skin, and remembered where it had come from, and she looked at the floor quickly.
The Servant Zeek had Slashed wasn't slowing down, but kept wriggling its blade fingers, trying to nick him. It didn't seem to be affected by the loss of its blood- in fact, the blood wasn't even leaking anymore. Evidently, the Servants blood didn't flow in its veins, but sort of sat there. Its heart wasn't beating.
The Jillian-Servant hit the ground with a crunch, and screamed, a High pitched sound, almost like a Nazgul from Lord of the Rings. Karen Jumped and sidestepped behind Keket. Brian recognised this- a similar scream had drawn servants from all around to attack the Tower of London. Looking At Jillian's body, he could see the crusty bone like scabs the blocked her nose and spread over the front of her face. It was just like the one before- Evidently, a variation of Servant. The Servant that had been Mildred didn't stop her assault however, preoccupied as it was.
Rikard glanced the group over. "Other students? Are you alright? And Is That Zeek Attacking... what used to be my daughter?" He looked a bit ruffled himself, a large bloodstain on his lab coat, but he didn't looked harmed. "Where have you been Hiding? Mildred and I Came back, about a day ago. We wanted to raid the science department, for Equipment."

Zeek was brought out of his staring contest with Mildred as Brian knocked over Jillian and he looked down at his attackers neck to check out on her bleeding out situation. When he found the flow had come to a near stop he let out a rare almost angry snort of frustration. "That shouldn't be happening. I'm sure you should have bled out by now. Annoying but not really a problem." he muttered more to himself than anyone else.
After a few more seconds of experimentally pushing to test if her strength had weakened to no avail, he thought a different method of approach was needed. He carefully spun on the spot so that her back was now facing the open door she had come out of. Once in position he brought his knee up into her abdomen forcing her to double over as what little air in there was forced out of her, when she was like that Zeek wrenched the knife free and let go of her arm before sending a kick onto the top of her head. The attack wasn't meant to wound her but it did knock her backwards into the open door way, the door of which Zeek quickly close.
Breathing heavily he took a step back then bent down and picked up the scalpel before shivering from head to toe much like he had in the basement. He shook his head and looked at the door not knowing if she would be able to open it or not, but he knew there where more pressing matters at hand. He turned back to the group to see if any had actually run, a dull look in his eyes as he surveyed them. But when he saw the look on some of their faces they seemed to melt back to their normal pale blue. He shook his head again and moved into a position on the other side of Preston between the group and Jillian, muttering something about the infected cells not needing to respire and wondering how it was possible.

Rio seemed to grow some courage, leant out from the back of the group. Gingerly walking towards Jillian, who was seeming immobile. "No circulation, no respiration... Therefore not alive," he muttered. He came within a few inches of her, trying to catch her gaze. After a few moments of thought he backed off, "what's it gonna take to make her safe, do we remove the head or the arms." He stepped back, moving back to the group. He leant over to Zeek muttering a few words ," they're dead, if you want to deal with them, you've got to stop the nerves or the limbs, pick one." He stepped back, let them do what they had to do.

Zeek turned his head to look at Rio, an obvious frown creasing his brow. "Look I appreciate that your trying to help...believe me I do since its more than what most people did for me, even before this. But don't take me as a idiot...Especial then it comes to biology." He said a slight tone of annoyance underlying his usually naturalness. And with that he stepped forward towards Jillian and grabbed her right leg and yanked upwards, leaving her to flail wildly on the ground. With her in a somewhat subdued position Zeek reached upwards with the hand still holding the knife and after a bit of sawing cut through her Achilles tendon. Doing this made her leg useless blood or no blood, she wouldn't be able to use that foot again unless she had super healing powers.
His work done Zeek dropped the leg and stepped back, a cold smile hidden under his mask. "Besides you forgot to mention anything about mussels or tendons..."

The Jillian Servant Screamed once again, the Same Piercing Sound it made before. Then, The other Servant put its hand straight throygh the Door seperating it from the group. Two more Servants, These bearing the Faces of Danny Fieldinhs and Mellissa Grumman, A couple in 3rd year, came round the corner The group had cone from, And a 3rd tumbled down the stairs, This one a Teacher, Mr.Elkan, Chemistry departnent. The Jillian servant was tryibg to claw her way to the group too, digging its blades into the floor.
Karen Tapped Keket Nervously. "Should we run? Theres 5 of them now, and they dont seem to be giving up..."

OOC: Life or death situation with immediate doom easily apparent, with people who've managed to survive alone and unaided telling them to get out of there, and Rio and Zeek decide it's autopsy time.... Also, Esiphas, do I have permission to post more frequently? I've been trying to leave room for other people to react, but it seems like at the rate things are happening, I can't make Brian react as fast as he would over certain things and it's actually affecting the quality of how he's being played.
IC: Brian was simultaneously incensed and terrified. He had been about to try and hack off the thing's head after it screamed when Emo Kid got in the way, followed by Zeek messing around on its leg. Flailing, he knocked them both aside and slashed down hard on the thing's throat, stopping the damned noise after the second shriek.
"GUYS!! THAT'S THE HUNTING CALL!! RUN, DAMN YOU!!" he bellowed, motioning for them to get the hell out of Dodge any way they could. "They go insane, and every last one nearby heads right for the scream! We need to leave, and now!" Desperately, he slashed at the hands of the new arrivals, fending off their initial swipes and managing to stay infection free, for now at least. With this many of the things, he was bound to be mauled sooner or later...this whole "rescue" attempt had gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Ooc- Sure, Post a bit more frequently, Just try not to dominate the thread. Brians the Combatant here.
Ic- Karen wasted no time. She grabbed Kekets hand and began to Run after Brian, Mr. Astrala following right behind her. The Servants Brian Slashed at began to growl, a Phlegmy, gutteral sound, and made clumsy swipes at the group as the ran. Mr. Astrala, to his credit, Dodged tgw first and preformed a low, Spunning kick that sent two Spawling, And finished with an uppercut to the third, Which sent it reeling backwards, clearing a wider path for Rio and Zeek.
The servants, For their part, Were recoving quickly. Mildred tore her way through the door, glass shredding her skin, clothes, even slicing open an eye, but she still managed to turrn and shamble towards the running group. The Jillian Servant had finally stopped moving though, and without warning she detonated in a shower of blood and goo. (Brian would know that isnt normal- Regular servants just turn to dust.)

Keket had stood frozen in horror at the whole scene her lips trembling as she watched the boys going at the creature. Then she felt Karen tugging at her hand and she snapped back to reality. She was turned dragged by Karen and she stumbled slightly until she managed to right her gate and surge forward so that she was dragging Karen along behind her. "Oh my God. This is hell!" she said loudly.
She turned glancing back as she ran first at Karen then the others. Her eyes were wide with adreniline and fear.

Ooc- Merry Christmas to all, I guess. Hopefully this will speed up a bit, once the festive period is done. Ic- Karen Gripped Kekets hand tightly as they burst through the doors at the End of the Science corridor. The next section was dark, illuminated every few seconds by flickering lights It looked Empty though. This was the Reception corridor- Just at the other end, The Corridor would open up into the Recreation grounds, And on the other side, The gym hall. Karen whimpered. "I hate the dark..." She said, As they Ran. About halfway down the Corridor, Something stepped out of Reception. It was Tall, Wreathed in shadow, And The lights flickered more frequently Around it. It turned to look at the Group, Revealing its masked face. It was carrying a Long, Curved blade, Easily the length of A Greatsword, In obe hand. Brian should recognise it Straight out, but the rest of you Probably havent seen one before. There was a Gravekeeper in the School.

Rio stepped through the doors last, slamming them both behind him. He reached for a fire extinguisher, wedging it between the handles, securing it, if temporarily. He turned to face the others and kept running, he wasn't exactly a marathon runner but being slim had its perks.
Then it came, more than a foot taller than him, like a walking nightmare it strode towards them. Instantly he knew it wasn't normal. It had a alien feeling, something not of his dimension. Part of him was praying, despite Atheism, praying it hadn't noticed them and would keep walking. That was in vain, it knew they were running and that they were trapped, so why rush. It was canny, a slight gleam of intelligence in those autonomous eyes.
"Like (please do not swear) rats...." His mind was racing, there had to be a solution, but he couldn't rely on the others. "We cant beat it on foot, we cant beat it in a fight," He moved left slightly, its eyes seemed to follow. "It has sight, no confusion..." He sighed nonchalantly, he thought he could hear the servants behind him, writhing like snakes. "Do something quick...."

Keket stopped dead jerking Karen to a hault as the creature turned to look at them. Karen could feel her hand being squeezed so tight circulation would be cut off as Keket gripped it startled by the horror before her. She dropped Karen's hand to grip her hands together and mutter a prayer in Arabic. "Allah protect us. I know not what this is or why I am chosen to face it, but I hope you will not let me out of your gentle embrace." She slowly took Karen's hand and took a tenative step forward her hand slowly drawing the shawl from Karen's shoulders. She whispered quietly,"I'm going to throw this over him...then..we have to run and not look back as fast as we can...I won't leave you..." She took another step and the creature seemed to grin. In a burst of movement she sent the wrap flying over the creature's head and began to drag Karen with her dodging past it's flailing claws and blade for the grounds.

Karen nodded, Unable to speak as the Gravekeeper stared at the group. As Keket threw the Shawl, It lasged out with its blade, Slicing the Shawl in two, but the angle it held its sword at gave Karen and Keket just enough time to squeeze by it. The gravekeeper turned its vack in the others, Staring after Karen and Keket, Though if one were to Follow its piercing gaze, They'd see it looking at Karen. The Keeper took a step forward, Preparing its blade for another strike- Keket and Karen had reached the end of the corridor, Only.to find it locked.

Rio turned to Zeek, then the girls. The place was locked, probably in some futile attempt to keep the infected out. He looked back to Zeek, "keep it occupied, we've only got one route now." Then he took off running, making a dive for the reception, hoping it didn't follow. The door had been torn off it hinges, a small office room inside. He desperately tore draws open, looking for a key to the door, a weapon, or anything useful.
OOC- decide why he finds, if anything at all.

Brian kept close behind the group, urging them on as they ran. That one...why were they exploding now? No time to think...he just had to hope none of that goo had gotten on anyone, especially not in any open sores or cuts, or they were toast for sure. Not that they already weren't. He was glad Emo Kid had tied the doors shut, despite how cocky he seemed to be, he might actually be helpful if he kept his cool like that in the future.
And then the Gravekeeper showed up. If he hadn't been breathing hard from the fear, everyone would have heard the blue streak of swearing that jetted straight out of his mouth. One sentence was very clear, though.
"Gravekeeper. God help us all."
The moment Keket threw her shawl at it, Brian got over his momentary shock at seeing one again. "The door won't hold long, these guys go ape-crazy when the Keepers show up!" he cried, yanking something small and silver out from under his hoodie and kissing it. He watched as Karen became the focus of the thing's attention, and motioned for everyone around him to rush the locked door (OOC: That is the only entrance, right?) as hard as they good. As they all started to move, he put all his power into a dashing, bounding charge, and gripping his weapon with both hands, he swung with every ounce of strength he had at the thing's neck, crying "AD MAIORIAM DEI GLORIAM!!!" the moment before the blade connected.
