Taylor, in full blown fear frenzy, runs in a mad sprint outside of Ember. His/her flesh is still searing and steaming from the terrible killing sun. The only thought running through the Galloi's head is to get away as quickly as possible...
Sean runs after Taylor, wincing with pain at every thudding step. He's mainly just trying to keep up with his friend, keeping them in sight. He knows that, eventually, the Kindred will calm down. Until then he just had to follow them and make sure that they didn't get into any more trouble.
He calls after Taylor "Taylor! Calm down, buddy!" He figures it probably won't do much good but it's worth a try.
~~Narration~~
The streets are fairly busy as Taylor goes tearing down the road, not seeing anything but the blinding light of the sun before him. There is no ryhme or reason to his flight and direction. He seems to run past people as if they don't even exist, although he manages not to run anyway one down. However, people are stopping to look as the man goes down the streat in a terrified frenzy.
((Need a Resolve + Composure roll from Taylor please))
It hurt so damn much, he/she had to get away. It was the only thought going through the Galloi's head. The people he/she passed, each one nothing more than a blur, were not registering at all. Taylor continued to run, fleeing the scene, but when Sean's voice came echoing down the street it seemed to ring a bell...
Res+Comp
The sound of Sean's voice is a distant memory on the horizon of that blazing SUN. Taylor continues to run from the fear and the pain.
Sean can see that his voice is not getting through to the other kindred and he is beginning to draw more attention. A few people look like they are getting ready to move in on Taylor and try to stop him, calling out, "Hey man! What's going on?" and closing in on his position up ahead.
Taylor continues to run forward, totally out of control, paying no attention whatsoever to the people ahead of him. For now all he/she can do is try to get away from that awful light.
Sean tries to wave off those bystanders trying to help as he runs past them after Taylor "I've got this under control. Just a little game, ha ha! Nothing to see here." He waves in a friendly way "Gotta go" He says gesturing to his fleeing friend.
Still he runs. How long is this supposed to take!
The other pedestrians ignore Sean as he knew they would and comtinue to close in on Taylor. One of them finally reaches him and makes a grab for him.
Got ya!
He manages to get hold of Taylor's shirt and begins to try and drag the man back off his feet to stop him from running.
"Hey man! You're gonna hurt someone, calm down."
Was this idiot trying to stop Taylor from getting away from the light? He must have been, otherwise he would have not grabbed his/her shirt. He/she thrashed against the cruel grasp of the man trying desperately to get away.
