Jack looked to the others when the sound rumbled the conversation to an end. A wave of anxiety washed over the Hare as she looked around the room. Her foot tapped against the ground instinctively as she looked to the others. Unsure if they knew what had just happened or not. Her eyes landed on Xian who had looked down, before swiftly moving to the Window.
Peering through the glass the winter courtier let out a gasp as her eyes caught the first sighting of what was happening at the Four Seasons Hotel.
What...the...hell
"Guys..." was the only thing the Beast could put to words.
Spook swiveled about to look out the door of the shop while rubbing the back of his head. He had bumped his noggin with the initial thunderclap and was now face to face with…the open/close sign blocking his view. He slapped it out of his way and pressed his face up against glass.
For the first time that day his false façade cracked…then broke…then melted away entirely. It was replaced by an expression of shear shock and terror. He pulled open the door and took a few slow and unsteady steps outside without blinking.
This is a nightmare…it has to be.
Ava's mouth had only just shut after her question when the thunder cracked. She jumped, unprepared for the noise, and looked around as well, briefly meeting Jack's bewildered gaze. As Spook opened the door she slipped out after him.
Stepping out onto the sidewalk, she stood transfixed, watching in a mixture of fascination and horror as she tried to figure out what exactly she was seeing.
"I don't... what's happening?" Her tone was faint and distracted, the question mostly directed to herself.
She hardly knew anyone in this city, there was no one to call, no one to check on. Well, no one she knew intimately; there were plenty of Lost to be concerned about. Mind slowly grinding on despite her shock, she began to feel for her car keys in her bag.
As the rumbling began, Llewelyn's face paled.
Another earthquake? He turned with everyone else to the window to see the horror unfolding as the 4 Seasons burst into flames. Too shocked for works, the best Llewelyn seemed to be able to manage was a gasp of horror. 'Big' Lou ran out onto the street, paying no mind to the deal that was in the process of being organized.
This is Orleans all over again... "Any of you got a car? We need to haul ass an' get over there." He shouted to the group members anxiously.
