With neither mage in the the room. Things happen, a single raised voice, but what is said is difficult to distinguish.
Despite her supernal speed the enchantress can see and hear that Skye has almost caught up, the arrow must be dam fast on her feet.
Thirteen stands in the employees only hallway her two exit options are the back door which is labelled as a fire exit and opened with a push bar or to burst back into the starbucks proper and try for the automatic front door. Of course she is free to engage in all manner of plans and alternatives that could spring to mind at times like these.
Thirteen is up!

Acceleration activationTo move so fast only to be stymied by doors. Just her luck.
The fire exit was initially dismissed. Sure, it was the fastest and easiest way out. It was designed to be so. But opening it would sound an alarm, and that would summon the local fire department. Sleeper attention was not what this place needed right now. Especially as there was about to be one or more dead bodies upstairs. Not exactly a veil breach, but it would piss off the Goldies to no end (if any survived) and she'd been trying to remain diplomatic.
The front doors, however, might be a worse option. She recalled Leo, when he joined the meeting, saying he had locked up. So those doors would not slide open for her. Auto doors had a variety locking mechanisms available. Whether she could unlock them would depend on what sort of lock was used.
She went to look. If she was lucky, it would be a simple deadbolt and she could just flip a latch. The Acanthus was not expecting to be that lucky.
Outside, across the street, Jinx was still waiting and watching in the evening darkness. The familiar had become increasingly anxious, the longer Thirteen was out of sight. But now she reappeared in the shop, and he felt a sense of relief.
Not spending Mana on Acceleration this turn, so her affected stats are back to normal this round.

The versatility of acceleration could not be overstated, the utility to spend mana and precisely alter when she benefitted from the increased speed, reactions and protections rather then burn through hr reserves needlessly when obstacles barred the way was all manner of useful.
As Thirteen moves into the shop proper heading up to the front door that she herself had entered through not that long past she examines the lock on the door it's a pretty standard and basic three position automatic lock. They key is not currently in the lock but rotation of the key hole would indicate the door is currently set to off, the front door will not open of its own accord.
Someone's dox 1 success
For a moment it seems that their options are between a door that is definitely locked and a door that has a high chance of being alarmed. However in front of Thirteens eyes a third option appears.
Reality tears open a grey vale parts to reveal what looks like a road into somewhere else lit by floating balls of ambident light. It is clearly supernatural in origin and leads she knows not where but here it is in the middle of the shop floor a road out of this mess.
Skye is up!

Storming down the stairs, a glance over towards the fire escape at first thought about to run for it and push it open herself, knowing full well such a door would never be locked under normal circumstances unlike the one of unknown locked measures the bugging lion had locked. Only able to halt herself in a split second decision to aim for the general store area, memories of last time she took such a shortcut a warning to not go there. How was I supposed to know, not like I was in that blasted school often enough to get told.
Recalling all to well how angry her teachers had been that first week of high school, it was a shortcut who wouldnt have taken it unless specifically told not to?
Darting in after her, with Thirteen moving towards the door leaving it for her to rush behind the counter in an attempt to look for some damn key, knowing Leo would likely have it on his person but fearing smashing a window would all to likely just give the same freaking results as the fire escape, a different alarm sure but an alarm nonetheless.
Eyes switching over towards the sight, and over towards Thirteen as she stops mid motion with a shake of the head.
”Thats fishy.”
Instinct taking over, eyes widening with half shaped signs and glyphs spinning around to shoot into her eyes, shaking her head with a light preparation as the off sensation of the weakness of the spell hits her.

Skye bursting in behind Thirteen her natural speed having outpaced the enchantress when the latter is not benefitting from the boons of her time spell, the arrow has instant misgivings about the tear in reality leading who knows where and invokes a spell of her own. Although is seems like just one of a series of risky options.
In Sensory range are 9 humans no cats, 6 avians, no rodents.
To far now to hear what is going on back up in breakroom beyond discordant cries and calls the sound of heavy foot steps on metal does announce the rotund man, much slower then either mage has at least made to the top of the metal staircase.
Entering the next round of initiative Skye resets to 17, Thirteen didn't spend mana so stays at 10 thus Skye is up!

Dexterity Ruling arcana improvised spell casting, Improvised ruling arcana Ruling arcana improvised spellNine, how could it be nine, her own mental calculations earlier having clocked them at seven made, one unknown, 7-8 enemies meaning one unknown. Was there a passerby close enough to be engulfed, an invisible individual, had the rift opened taken someone in they could just not see? 6 avians meaning there was certainly chance that there were just a random passerby, yet just as likely that someone was lying in wait outside, if whatever the burned a-hole was doing upstairs was indeed to somehow kill them all at the cost of his life certainly someone standing close by to revel in the after effects, and unsure the results would be far from unlikely and the damn watchdog had felt the need to keep his eyes open even during a meeting again a sign to not forget.
Instincts once more on high alert as eyes darts over towards Thirteen, she looked safe for the time being, nothing ringing off within her own mind as an alarm yet not wanting to act, not wanting to leave herself open, staying place waiting to see should this extra person be someone her eyes could not see that would approach her or do something, with any luck leaving it unable to at least penetrate the safe zone around her.

A particularly loud and angry shout, wordless but charged with emotion, carries down to the mages in the front of the store.
Thirteen is up!

Familiar Acceleration activationThirteen glared at the lock, as she listened the the ruckus upstairs. Leo surely had the key, and she wasn't going back up there while Cartwright was still alive. At least down here, she and Skye might be out of range of whatever she believed might happen upon his death. And there was a whole floor of building material to shield them. Most direct harm spells required line of sight to the target, anyway. Still, she wanted out. So, it was the fire exit or break a window.
As the Acanthus thought about telling the Thyrsus to choose a throwing chair, the rip in reality appeared.
Her gun was in her hands, suddenly. Small caliber revolver, not something anyone would call 'heavy firepower.' It was easy to carry and conceal, though, which is why she liked it. She pointed it at the bizarre opening, held in a proper shooting stance. She'd clearly had training.
"Skye? This you?" The Arrow had cast something, was she responsible?
She didn't trust it. It could be backup for Cartwright, or worse, about to arrive. The Libertine edged around the portal thing towards the rear fire exit, keeping the opening in her gunsights. If a squad of Seers, or some slavering beastie was about to appear, she was going to be out that door faster than the Road Runner. Alarm be damned!

Thirteen pulls a gun! which you know in dire situations is better the not having one. Jinx able to see into the shop also can see the rift torn open but locked outside as the familiar is, there is little the crow spirit can do in the moment to provide aid.
Something that might be regrettable as five tendrils made of moving stone slowly reach out of the grey road cast in the ambience of the floating lights pulling what looks like a cat sized tumour like thing out, dark grey and very heavy in the flesh it seems as the sound of it pulling itself through is deep and speaks of much weight. It yawns lazily as it manifests in the flesh. the tendrils moving slowly half closed eyes etched into them.
Noise slow and full of doldrum emanates from the thing but neither mage possesses the means currently of understanding it.
The rift in reality remains open.
Growing shouts of ... panic ... from upstairs , followed by a loud growl almost feral like.
Thundering foots steps tell of the rotund man making his ponderous way down the stairs.
Skye is up!
