EXIT ~*~ He hands a fat wad to the cashier, as he takes Warpole's.. whatever it was, and the claymore.. handing EXIT the set of knives.. almost dropping them on the ground.. Blinking back up to POLE.. asking almost sarcastically.. ~ What did you do bring us to the RUNner's Nest? What is their HQ In the Kenny's Shoes? He turned and blinked.. noting a SHADOW And a whisper from it.. he acted like he saw hide NOR hair of ZORA CABLE.. and looked at EXIT.. smiling, as if nothing was wrong.. ~*~ Perhaps you should go see if you left your car lights on or SOMETHING...... ~*~ He grinned then shot a thought to EXIT... The bitch you were talking to .. she's here.. in the shadows.. I told you she was a RUNner... ~ He sighed mentally, and he placed the sword under his arm, wrapped in the sleeve.. then instantly inquiring about a few other weapons.. a few more throwing daggers, and a mace.. SHRED doing a lovely job of making the people not even QUESTION why he was buying so many weapons... and soon as his wallet was empty, he left.. trailing behind EXIT.. watching the shadows.. POLE ~ We have another one here... this place is infested.. ~

(Geoff)
*Posing for JAYNE.* How do ah look suga'?*Picking up a somewhat sweet southern drawl to complete the ensemble of bullshit.*

(Jayne)
*she looks around her after greeting Geoff, the hairs on the back of her neck raising a bit* This isn't good guys. Something /is/ wrong. *heading towards the more crowded area, looking in every direction*

(Venin)
ALAN: *She raises an eyebrow as she looks at the gun* impressive little toy. *nods appreciatively* seen it in action yet?

(Pole) BLACK*One brow arches at the connection's receiving*~~~Another one?? What is this, Open RUNners day at the mall?? They must be on sale. White flower day sale at Macy's and all that. Clearance racks for unnaturals~~~ *a rolls of his cybernetic eyes and a grin that can be -seen- over the transfer* ~~~ And well, gee whiz... I think I found me another. Old one, File name: SABRE. EEEyup. That's the bitch alright. Get EXIT on WATER WEIRDO there... you get closer the one you saw. I'm going for SABRE. She owes me a rematch. HOLY SHIT...~~~*Pole stares down HARD at the busty girl with SABRE, his eyes doing scans. Definitely a RUNner.. he knows that power flux. Shred matches it quickly, and Pole almost crows in delight*~~~GILD! That punk piece of RUNner shit is here too. We need backup. Go with my plan. Keep the connection~~~ *trans ends, and Pole, in his illusion, magnetically sealed, wanders towards the stairs, locking onto GILD and SABRE while CALLING HQ~~~BAckup? hello? BACKUP MAYBE???~~~

(Shadow) *not realizing she had been spotted she continues to watch EXIT and DAGGER.*

(Jayne)
*she shakes her head at GEOFF and waves him off* Come on....something's going to happen, and soon. It was PHASE and LOCKE who were here today? *she looks into the crowd, feeling ever more uneasy*

(Exit)
*eyes jerk open* Me? *standing in disbelief for a moment, he closes his eyes, breaths deep, grins, and slits open his eyes* Yes sir. DAG: Hey, you want a piece of this. More the merrier.

(Alan)
*Wondering if YVETTE is deaf or something as they approach the doorway.* Of course I have, didn't you /hear/ me? I said I saw the trial of the weapon. *Shaking his head as he starts to open the door for her.* After you my sweet...*Bowing slightly.*

(Mel)
*she claps her hands almost like a little girl* Oh, GEOFF! How /adorable/. *gushing* We should go shopping for you! *frowning at Jayne, thinking she is too paranoid for her own good*

(Yoshi)
*glares at the crowd on the escalator.* Not even Tokyo is /this/ crowded...and we have the larger population! *glancing around for any other routes down*

(Geoff)
*Nodding slightly, walking farther towards the edges of the store so that anyone from the ground couldn't see him. And walking a bit behind and away from them, he can hear her perfectly. Just not wanting to look like he's with them.* Yah honey..

(Lyta)
*she begins cursing that crazy mage that gave her the assignment to kill the sorceress, so far she has not shown up and she should have killed something weeks ago...she groans and falls to her knees, still next to the wall, hoping no one has noticed her there, her head pounding as her vision blackens to nothing*

(Venin)
*she sighs in exasperation, shaking her head* and its' performance? *casts a wary glance at you as she steps through the door, not trusting you to do nothing* thank you

(Alan)
*Well, he might have chanced a look at her fanny or something like that... Yah right. Coming in behind her as he takes up stride.* Well, it put down a frigging elephant with the lowest setting, and on the highest setting disrupted the entire electrical system of a Hummer.*The vehicles that are immune to the EMP's of nuclear blasts.*

(Jayne)
*Jayne's face twists into thought, trying to figure out what exactly is going on around here. She walks over to a water fountain, takes a drink and then heads to a railing, looking and thinking* There weren't any disturbances that Ive heard about....but with 'Shred....what do you expect?

(Pole)
EXIT:~~~~ Yes, you, son. Go get em, tiger! Grrr..~~~*he laughs a bit and keeps on his path towards MEL*

(Venin)
ALAN: *S* sounds pretty damn good. how many can you get? *gets jostled and for the first time notices the crowd* What's up with all the people? it's not boxing day is it?

(Lyta)
*still pale as a ghost, she breathes easier, noticing that her vision is clearing a bit...she just needed rest...she sighs, she should have known better than to run as she is now*

(Mel)
*Melanie just looks around, taking in the sights, knowing now that it wasnt just a mistake, and even feeling a bit of apprehension herself*

(Geoff)
*Having stopped at the stores window about 15feet away from her. After all, they weren't dressed up or anything. And if they got sighted he, er' she, might too. Just shrugging at JAYNE's outloud thinking. With everyone crowding around the same window, it would be hard to spot him anyway. Slapping a mans hand.* Don' be gettin' fresh with me mistah! *The man who was trying to cop a feel of a breast, which GEOFF intercepted before his illusion could get fouled, backs off and away, face red.*

(Jayne)
*Jayne stiffens suddenly, her hair standing on end, and she glares into the crowd, but not able to see anything, she just rests her elbows on the railing, turning a sidelong look at GEOFF, snickering a bit at the sight of the man getting fresh with him*

(Alan)
*Blinks as he sees someone heading for the stairs in a real HURRY. Then just shakes it off, people were always in a hurry in the mall, either to a sale or to something else. Though this guy looks as though he's being REAL sneaky about it. He turns back to YVETTE.* I don't know babe...*Seeming preoccupied. Watching the mans back as he heads up the steps.*

(Black)
EXIT ~*~ He shakes his head.. ~ Nah you go on ahead.. Have fun with your knives. ~ Hearing Poles send ~ Big boy.. ~Pausing, then glancing at the Entrance.. blinking at ABYSS, and VENIN. In Mid Step, THANKFUL for his illusion. He felt an inevitable grin pass over his lips, as he continued to walk.. Looking at a tall sign that said The Mall... pausing and looking at the directory there too, watching them on the reflection.. Patching a send to Pole again ~~ ABYSS, and VENIN are here.. could this be a trap? ~ Chuckling darkly, sparks nearly flying from his body in the rising excitement.. watching YOSHI descend from the stairs.. then watching ABYSS and VENIN Again.. Taking in a deep breath, then turning. His back on the directory now.. watching with a careful eye.. then Blinking.. where did ZORA sink off to? ~ POLE ~~ You have a Lock on that Zora bitch? The one EXIT so willingly gave his number too? ~ Teasing Exit who he knew was patched in to the link~

(Shadow)
*near the wall, she looks up and is able to focus on Alan as he walks past, she sighs in relief*

(Geoff)
*HE actually walks into one of the women's laungerie stores, intending to maybe, try a few things on. This to put a little distance between himself and the others as well.*

(Exit)
*slaps on his eye piece and locks onto WATER* Checking all his supplies he bolts out of the store* I'm off

(Mel)
*Melanie looks around, her normally airheaded and ditz facade dropping, her turquoise eyes turning into slivers*

(Venin)
alan: *throws at glare at you for the babe comment, wondering what other nasty chores she wants to pass on to you. She notes your gaze as it follows the man up the steps* know him?

(Lyta)
*she feels herself getting inexplicably tense and she looks around, wondering why*

(Shadow)
Dagger: *seeing Exit leave she had moved over in the shadows to where she could watch him and Dagger. Unfortunately for her that was the shadow created by the directory. Being very still she watches Dagger*

(Yoshi)
*continues to try to get downstairs- with varying degrees of success- and a lady tripping him when he tries to get off.* Baka!! *lady just glares at him and off like it was all his fault.*

(Mel)
*Melanie says to Jay* You're right, ,there /is/ something wrong here. Well, drat! *frowning* I guess we just have to wait and see.....*looking down a corridor and into the shop at the end of it* oh, how /cute/! Look at that dress!

(Alan)
*Shaking his head at YVETTE.* No... But he looks at hoguh he's in a hurry somewhere, and trying to be sneaky about it. Could be a thief. Or.... could be something else. Maybe someone with military training sneaking up on someone. *Illusions can't make up for years of combat training. Though he might not be able to make out the faces and bodies, he still can read body language of a stalking predator.* He's looking for something, or someone.

(Exit)
*Kicking in as much adrenaline as he can he punches it to the opposite side of the building where Yoshi's signal becomes stronger* I may not know what this fellow looks like, but this beauty will be my eyes.

(Pole)
BLACK: ~~~Zora? That lil bitch... yeah, hold on, Shred's fixing a lock. Gonna be tricky, she has these kinds of shields, but easy enough to lock onto the -absence- if ya know what I mean. *a sudden pause and an explosive* ABYSS AND VENIN ARE HERE??? *Passing thought caught by the intense, sometimes TOO intense, link Shred gives them* HOLYYY SHIT! Get him OUT. No.. let ME do it. Hard and fast, Abyss is my target, shifting... NOW~~~ *Signature lock ons... Shred gives Warpole the info he needs in a rush of mental contact. Pole, still swathed in illusion to look like an ordinary blonde man, tho handsome, of course, resets his warpole. His eyes narrow from where he hides in plain sight. He knows about Abyss' records now... and knows he's a major threat. The pole warms up, also hidden, makes no noise and no sound as it reconfigures. MEL will have to wait. A contact with shred.. ~~~Shield me, going in. No one is to see me, or the situation will be compromised~~~ *psionic barriers spring into place soon after, Pole waiting before acting. It doesn't take long for the thing to alter its patterns, set for Mel. Pole takes aim, shred guiding the path of flight... locked on target.. Pole grins*

(Lyta)
*she watches Venin as she walks by, the hackles on her neck rising, then notices Yoshiaki, trying to get down the escalator, feeling the same from him, she stands slowly, and pretends to look in a window*

(Yoshi)
*still clueless that he's got any kind of trouble- like he could notice it..*

(Exit)
Makes a quick link to POLE* I just have *puff puff* one question *puff* sir. *puff puff* *snears evily* How do you want him?

(Shadow)
*she slows down and stops as she covertly notices Venins attention going back her way*

(Venin)
ALAN: a security guard maybe *shrugs* you know what kids are now a days.

(Yoshi)
*begins to move for the doors. maybe he'll come back some time when this place isn't so crowded- at the very least has fewer screaming children...*

(Alan)
*He watches as the man on the stairs turns and looks directly at him. NOW he really didn't like this. though he doesn't know who's under the illusion. He sidesteps around the corner as though he were going into a one of the sidestores to buy something, anything to get the man out of his line of sight. Knowing this to be an all too easy target. He just didn't like the way things were playing out here. Smileing at YVETTE from around the corner and waveing her over.* Whoever he is, he isn't friendly.

(Mel)
*Melanie looks over her shoulder wistfully* Jayne, obviously nothing too much is going on..why dont we do a bit of browsing since we came up here? *Mel is still on full alert, but refuses to let it stop her good mood*

(Lyta)
*she looks over at the man that Venin and Alan are talking about*

(Shadow)
*keeping an eye on DAGGER she watches to see where EXIT is going in such a hurry.*

(Jayne)
*Jayne grimaces, but consents, following Mel into the little boutique in which Mel had spotted the dress of her dreams*

(Lyta)
Alan; *turning back from looking up at the other man she walks right by you*

(Geoff)
*Done looking around the lingerie store, he walks back out. Deciding to go over by the railing and check a few things out below. Seeing that weird ALAN guy and YVETTE. What the hell are they doing here? Blinking a bit as he watches some more.*

(Black)
POLE ~*~ He simply grins.. looking to his hands.. then to his illusion. Blinking at Poles send.. almost feeling incompetent to take down.. two measly Runners.. perhaps.... a bad call on his part. His whole Body still a glow from the WHOLE Human.. well RUNNER essence he ate up.. enough power to knock them put and then some.. lots of some. His hands raised, watching them ascend the escalator.. he simply flicked his wrist.. what was it SUPRISE.. the best motives.. Trusting that SHRED would calm the Humans, knowing he was MORE than capable of that task.. he powered up.. stepping away from the shadows.. locking his eyes on VENIN and ABYSS... Suprise suprise.. grinning at VENIN.. Pay back's a bitch no? He paused as Pole said ABYSS was his target. Feeling again, the twinge of hatred, that festered occasionally for the man, he lowered his arms.. watching them.. intently.. then turning his back.. looking for who Pole was watching.. GUILD? .. MEL? He shrugged, and looked back at Venin shrugging.. ah what the hell.. ~*~..... VENIN ~*~ He raised his arms, with enough charge to feed off of until tomorrow (( I mean MUCHO grande.. )) He exerted just enough to knock her out, towards her, skipping, dancing on the ground.. the speed of lightning.. the agility of a acrobat, and he moved away.. not to see if his target hit.. instead unseat5hing the claymore he bought.. charging this too.. a grin planted firmly on his illusional face. ~*~

(Shadow)
*spots LYTA.. So this is where she disappeared to.*

(Mel/Jayne)
*Jayne walks into the cozy store backwards, keeping her eyes open, noticing GEOFF watching something, but following Mel anyway*

(Venin)
*looking around at some of the other mall patrons she begins to notice a lot of covert movements. she nudges ALAN* something's not right here, makes me feel like I'm back in covert training. something's wrong *she clenches her fist, the nails imbedding themselves deeply drawing blood*

(Pole)
BLACK~~~YOU JACKASS!!!! Fucking piece of... ~~~ *it comes fast, Pole lets the whole attack on ABYSS loose... PLASMA BOLT keyed for him alone, tho it would HUUURT anyone who got in the way. Still grumbling about BLACK"S lack of teamwork. SHRED Covers the scene, keeps the unshielded human minds completely blind, stretching himself a bit thin... Pole waits to see what the attack on ABYSS does... and already keys another attack just in case, but it was meant to HIT HARD... incapacitate*

(Lyta)
*her eyes open wide as she sees some kind of energy coming towards Venin and she ducks into the store with Abyss*

(Yoshi)
*still walking- maybe if he hurries, he can get back to his hotel in time for that amusing American show- X-folders or some such..*

(Pole)
EXIT:~~~Medium rare.. alive preferably~~~ *he sounds angry, but only at Blackdagger.. the moron....*

(Shadow)
*Watches as there is some kind of commotion down by LYTA. Frowning she moves down near her. With hunters around she was worried.*

(Yoshi)
*pauses, glancing over his shoulder- apparently there was some kind of excitement nearby.*

(Mel)
*inside the store, Melanie looks thru the racks of dress, gushing over each one, taking a couple of them into the changing room to try on*

(Lyta)
*she gasps as she notices the plasma bolt coming but does not have much time to move this time*

(Exit)
*nods* Gotcha. *seeing a slight blip on the eyes monitor and an outline of a body, he realizes that this must be him. throwing off the eye wear he bolts full speed attempting a first hit bum rush. arms extended he charges at Yoshi's midsection*

(Venin)
*shrugs* its a city *an involuntary shiver runs up her spine* I always get the feeling someone's watching or following me in the city *smiles* too many people for my taste. maybe he feels the same

(Geoff)
*Thinking about Venin's father Old Scratch for a moment... How once he had made the tavern a safe haven from the hunting. Simply because he wanted a drink in peace. Respect he had for that one, and like the enemies of old, actually sat down and drank WITH him. that was something special.*

(Alan)
*Shakes his head at YVETTE.* No, this guy is chasing someone. I've seen it thousands of times. He's not running or being paranoid cuz he's not looking around while he does it. He's looking right up. Watching a few people up there.

(Lyta)
*she walks slowly with some other people now, getting close enough to listen to Alan and Yvette*

(Venin)
- LYTA: *notices the kid from the alley. Venin watches her, recognizing the signs of wariness, wondering if she really scared the kid that much..or if something else was going down*

(Jayne)
*Jayne looks over to Melanie, rolling her eyes and sighing, trying to look up to the next floor, wondering why she was getting the feel of foreboding*

(Yoshi)
EXIT: *he wasn't expecting an attack- having been looking over his shoulder when the attack came. he gets the wind knocked out of him and begins to fall back, trying to get a hold of exit as he goes, completely startled* Nani?! *coughed out *

(Venin)
ALAN: *she nods and warily she moves towards you, trying to convince herself its the city putting her on edge* ---- BLACK: *unaware that she is a target she crosses behind a bench as she heads over to Alan. The bench intercepts a portion of the blast and shatters. the remainder of the blast strikes its intended victim, painfully throwing her sideways. Years of training, cause her to instinctively carry into a roll, coming up with her berretta aimed in the originating direction of the blast*

(Shadow)
*she watches the energy blast go by also, being in the shadow of the store, then looks over at Alan as he takes out his weapon, she shrinks back into the corner there, watching fearfully*

(Venin)
*Ducks instinctively as the blasts hit close.*

(Geoff)
*Now he watches as a person, brandishing a CLAYMORE goes running through the center of the mall towards where YVETTE and ALAN are, this not being good at all, he pulls out his 9mm, still masked by his own illusion so that people won't go insane immediately, taking aim on the back of the mans back, depressing the trigger just enough so that the little red laser makes a neat little mark on his back....*

(Shadow)
Lyta: *moves over behind her.. Whispering..* I think now would be a good time to leave..

(Exit)
*Whipping himself around, taking as much advantage as he can. he flings his leg behind him and attempts to shove him over with his hand to his face, while having his other ready for his sidearm*

(Lyta)
*she jumps and nearly bolts out of the store, into the line of fire*

(Black)
~*~ He curses under his breath lightly.. wincing at the send.. not saying a thing, and hushing his thoughts. A wave of embarrassment washed over him.. and he looked to pole, just in time to see a hugr key plasma blast head for Pole. He blinked, as another formed in his hands. he shook his head.. looking for Venin.. readying another blast of pure life energy.. His fingers tingling with the stuff, moving it as pliable as putty in his hands... So ashamed.. he'd have to win this one.. He finally sent a thought.. intense, and harsh.. ~ You always said Surprise was the best weapon, well Surprise Sir.. ~*~ Unable to deal with the emotional turmoil right at the moment.. his hands started glowing brighter.. narrowing his eyes, as children, moved in the way.. slowly.. descending the escalator, not giving him a clear shot at the RUNners above.. ~*~

(Shadow)
*reaches out trying to grab her as she sees Lyta start to bolt* It's only me..

(Pole)
SAI:~~~Backup.. quick. Send someone fresh in, outnumbered here... someone who KNOWS what they're doing, PLEASE...~~~ *he begs this of HQ.. while (*is so confused right now... will post response to ABYSS post in a few..*) *Pole growls... he IS NOT pleased*/// BLACK:~~~You little shit. Surprise KP duty you little fucker. You could have jeopardized this entire thing. We're outNUMBERED in case you didn't notice...~~~*he trails off, snarling, searching again for MEL and HEHX.. he knows he's seen the silvered hair before too, but files come up with only a filename and the flashing red "Not unnatural" across his cybervision*

(Jayne)
*Jayne sits bolt upright in her chair, hearing the blasts from a gun and an explosion* Melanie! Get out of there! Come on! *Melanie rushes out of the dressing room, a skimpy pink dress on, her socks the only thing that clads her feet*

(Yoshi)
*goes over- willingly, and trying to land on the other's leg to break it- but keeps his grip on the man's arm, trying to manipulate the water in his assailant's body- mainly cause bits of ice to form and shred the muscles in his wrist. He'd try to do more- but he can't get enough concentration to do so.*

(Mersea)
*catches the repeated blinking of a light and curses, he turns off the stereo as she reaches for his leathers. Now that the music was off he could hear the consistent beeping indicating a backup call* Damn! Poles gonna have my ass for this. *he grabs his shotgun and blinks out to the indicated location*

(Lyta)
*caught by your hand she stares at you, struggling wildly, terrified of all the action, then seeing you.. she begins to relax slightly and stops, whispering* uh ...what is happening?

(Mel/Jayne)
*the two run out of the store, to the railing, trying to find out where everything is coming from, a shout from the startled saleswoman causing Jayne to laugh out loud* Jayne says: where /is/ it coming from? *she swivels one way and another, looking over everything, and then taking off around the corner to an escalator*

(Shadow)
*still whispering* You remember I told you of the hunters? It looks like we walked into the Hunters day at the mall. Those two *indicates Abyss and Venin* being shot are runners..

(Exit)
*feeling the muscles tear, he falls over in pain. A pain that he had not felt in quite a while. Almost like a pain that he had missed. Tears swelling, he grins and leaps forward with a swift left elbow to his head*

(Mel)
*Melanie heads after Jayne, trying with all her might to stay upright in stocking feet on tile. Jayne rounds the corner, grabbing onto the handrail of the escalator, gawking at the sight at its base*

(Yoshi)
*catches the elbow- just- and shoves back, one hand slipping a tazer out of his pocket- blinking at the grin. that had not had the desired effect* Nani? you are a strange one....

(Lyta)
*she calms immediately* y-yes.? *glances over at Abyss warily* ....where are the hunters? ...they are not shooting at me...

(Venin)
*she scoots into a nearby doorway, her gaze skimming around for both her assailant and Alan. She notices the lack of reaction that this has caused for the crowd.*~Oh Shit! looks like guard got themselves some new toys~ *not seeing Alan she risks a quick call, knowing it will open her position, she decide to use military lingo so as not to revel names, in case they are still unidentified* Sound out!

(Shadow)
Lyta: *shakes her head* I'm not sure now. I lost sight of the two I saw. I'm not sure if they know about you. If you stay here they will. *glances over at ABYSS and VENIN* I'm going to see what I can do to help here.

*Jayne and Melanie stand at the top of the escalator, momentarily stunned* Jayne: Was this an ambush? How could they have known that all of us would be here? *she looks in shock at Melanie, who's trying valiantly to finish fastening the dress she had 'stolen' from the shop*

(Sai)
*gets woken up- rudely- by the request for back up.* *yawns* alright, alright, I'm up- just leave me alone.. where's my damned staff....*after a moment to get the requested item, he uses whatever kind of transport the guard have, appearing at the mall.* oh, lovely...*can smell the plasma discharges.* real subtle in here...

(Lyta)
Shadow; *she grins and nods* maybe i can help too...*noting the total disregard of the crowd for the explosions, she walks out of the store like any other shopper*

*Jayne starts to head down the 'up' escalator, the 'down' one on the other side. She runs as fast as she can, almost tripping on occasion, Melanie following behind her, not being able to move her legs very well, with how tight the skirt is*

(Exit)
*leaping once again with his left once again, he stalls to get as point blank as he can so that he may bring his weapon out from behind him begins to fire *

(Alan)
*The energy blast, which he notes only a second before it hits him via a few changes in pressure that surround all energy. condenses the air around him, the energy catching the barrier before it can sufficiently harden the air to almost steel like capacity. Weakening the blast greatly, but hitting him all the same, knocking him a few feet back and beneath where an attack from the upper floor could see. Shaking his head slightly. He'd been hit by worse, concussion grenades had more effect. Pulling out the other weapon, he travels through one of the corner stores entrances after he gets up. Running through to the other exit's most corner stores have, then lets loose a blast at where the shot might have come from, seeing only one man actually standing at the railing and looking around. The blast at 90 percent efficiency since he knows this is no human. And if it is some innocent man, well, sucks to be him.*

(Mersea)
*he appears on the third level, in an alcove beside the elevators. he takes a quick glance around assessing the situation.* ~POLE: Mer-Sea here, what's the sit? Where ya want me in this candy store?~~ *A big grin crosses his face as he softly murmurs* this will be fun

(Shadow)
*Starts to stop LYTA then realizes she is right. Grinning she moves in the shadows over by VENIN. Waiting for a chance to talk to her without getting shot at.*

(Yoshi)
Exit: *scrambles back- he really wasn't ready for a fight- eyes widening then narrowing in pain as a bullet finds it's way into his side- casting about for a water source. he wasn't trained good enough to take someone with a fire arm on in hand to hand combat. He'd get shot before he managed much*

(Gild)
*Takes an aimed shot at the man with the CLAYMORE's back, since he's running at VENIN. Also wondering why no one in the mall is picking up on the fighting that's commenced.*

*Jayne and Mel finally reach the bottom, looking about, Jayne wild around the eyes, her short silver hair flying every where*
