Deni raised an eyebrow as Dahlia suddenly laughed and kicked her skateboard up into her hand, flipping it upside down in one smooth motion. She was about to ask what was so funny when her eyes caught sight of the many colorful images on Dahl's skateboard. The drawings were definitely hand-drawn and were pretty good as well..
"Like it? I love it. I hope you don't mind...if I take a picture of it?"
Deni reached for the camera that she kept in a small leather pouch, worn on her belt. She unbuttoned the leather flap and took it out..it promptly broke into two in her hands.
"Uh.."
Her voice came out rather dumbly, matching the dumbfounded expression on her face. Right..she had smashed her side into a wall pretty hard when she had been running for her life..seemed like the camera had taken most of the damage. Poor thing.
"That camera...was really expensive..."
Deni's voice trembled, as if she was once again on the verge of crying. She straightened up and took a deep calming breath, though the side of her lip still visibly twitched with annoyance.
"At least I have an alternative.."
The girl smiled, bending down to get a closer look at Dahlia's skateboard, raising a finger to her right temple and blinking shut her left eye.
"Let's see..silent mode, off..well, that's fine."
Deni muttered briefly to herself, then winked with her right eye. The sound of a camera shutter could be heard and then Deni straightened up, opening both eyes. Her right eye seemed to glow bright blue..
"Another camera in here. Neat, huh?"
Denieve grinned happily, winking again at the surprised expression on Dahlia's face.
Capturing an eternal picture of her new friend, Dahlia. Who of course, had some surprises of her own. Deni watched, astonished as the skateboard in Dahlia's hands took on a blue sheen. She tossed it up into the air and Deni gave a small gasp. The skateboard..stayed where it was.
"So, um..are you like a superhero or something?"
Deni asked rather dumbly. Wow. Superpowers existed now. But still, important things were happening now..she could ask Dahlia all she wanted later. If she survived. Shoving her blazing curiosity down a mental layer of priority..
Denieve glanced up as the police officer addressed the entire group, easily getting their attention as the only figure of authority here. He laid out his plan, suggesting that they head for the nearest security station. Which was definitely a better choice than sticking around here in this room. Which currently had about unknown masses of monsters pounding on it from the outside..
Deni stepped up right behind the officer, her hand reaching for the pistol-like Taser gun that she wore holstered in her belt. Well, technically it was a gun..unfortunately not a lethal one. It would shoot a charge of plasma electricity at her target and would keep it paralyzed for a good few minutes. Well, it was all she had and it would have to do. She pulled out the Taser, closing her fingers around the handle. The touch of the cold metal seemed comforting for once..
A computerized voice resounded throughout the station, announcing that the main power reactors had failed, much to the officer's dismay, made obvious by his curses and hurried speaking. Looks like they were about to get moving..
"Yeah. I'm ready, I think."
Deni nodded nervously as the officer asked if they were ready. Heck, if you could ever be ready for a mad rush through monsters, hoping that you didn't look particularly tasty to them..
Her grip tightened on her Taser pistol. Back out into reality, the nightmare that had taken over their lives..
