[action]
[The race for the finish line is on! Every man for himself! Reach the end or don't reach anywhere at all!

Lucas naturally, immediately heads as far away from the highway as possible towards the people who live at the far end of town. Not without good reason, though.

Through the streets of Mayfield barrels a giant... head at high speed. Hovercraft, actually.  Anything it runs over is squished, drone, hazmat, bear, or otherwise. Even if some of those weren't even in the town anymore. It screeches to a halt in the middle of most streets, and a boy covered in bloody stains will hop out and scream as loudly as he can.]

EVERYONE GET IN. NOW.  HURRY.

[So he did his lose his temper sometimes.  Sort of.]

Comments

[doudemoe]

[Since his car is wrecked from his last car chase, and hazmats once again being everywhere, there's just one option he has left.

If Lucas dares look up, they'll see Helel carrying a blue-haired protag in the air.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[OK well that was just weird. Lucas squints for a moment or two before deciding he was too tired to care much anymore.]

You're going really slow!! Do you want a ride!!!

[doudemoe]

[Hey, your ride is even weirder. (nottalking)

But yeah, keeping Helel around is a drain on Minato's SP. And with only 2 Chewing Souls, the more he can conserve, the better. So he has Helel fly down, landing on the roof of the weird alien car.

While it's still running. If Junpei were here, he'd probably remark how it's straight out of an action flik.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas frowns slightly as he watches them descend, pulling his head back inside as the ship fused back together. Let's see... The right button was............

Foomph.

And suddenly the hair bow on top of the giant head spins about to reveal...

A coffee machine. Convenient.]

[roadroller]

[standing with her hand on the door of her car as he yells

wow he does not look okay and that does not look safe. But she did kinda promise to be with him forever. So.]

... Okay, okay! ♪

[she's running inside]

[a_gentle_boy]

[FOREVER. THEY ARE GOING TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.]

RIN.

[Lucas's voice is hoarse.]

RIN YOU'RE OK.

[He doesn't sound relieved more than he's just still yelling everything. He waves her in and the opening somehow fuses shut behind them.]

[roadroller]

[Rin nods, catching her breath - amazing how quickly it can get short when the air's full of smog and whatever poison from the hazmats that have surely been popped in the meantime. She drops whatever provisions she was bringing with her and gives him a quick hug before he starts the thing rolling again]

Mhm! I've been holding on... it's nice of her to give us advance warnings. ♪

[sarcasm drips, of course. But it did alert her to gather her things before the new swarm reached her home. She lets go, and looks Lucas over. He's pretty beat up.]

Hey. Aren't you going to heal yourself? ♪

WHERE EVEN IS MY STREET gdi finals made me miss so much event ;n;

[originalnumber]

Have you even met? WHO CARES, THIS ISN'T THE TIME. Flight is great, but for the most part Astral's going to be rushing for the head after chucking the last of his paint buckets at a nearby what-ever-is-attacking. LOOK, A DISTRACTION.

Here Lucas have a panicked waif of an alien reaching for whatever will get him inside.

"H-H- Thank you!" he manages to shout despite all of the hell going on.

I have no idea where any street is in relation to anywhere else so it's cool.

[a_gentle_boy]

Lucas is too tired from screaming and murdering hazmats and fending off murderous zombies and that kind of thing to do much more than nod as Astral rushes inside.

The interior of the head is... rather spacious, actually. Lucas will take a seat at the controls.

"You should find something to hold onto. I'm not very good at this."

Aahhh thank- ;w;

[originalnumber]

"Ah, alright." If it were any other time, he would probably be questioning why he wasn't 'good at this', or perhaps more importantly, what classified as 'good at this', but nonetheless. He'll look for something to hold onto, and hopefully not end up on the floor if he fails to do so before they start moving.

"...It seems larger on the inside..." He just had to say it didn't he?

[allwehad]

[So Margot was about to get in the (very much battered) car to pretty much go hunt down her people when Lucas finds her first.

Flying a giant head.

Well okay, then.]

Holy shit, Lucas! Are you okay?!

[Because hey, bloodstains, but she's getting in regardless.]

[a_gentle_boy]

Margot!

[They had split up somehow after Lucas decided he ought to go home to grab the table. ...He had opted for his other transportation device after seeing the chaos breaking loose once more in the town, though.]

I'm fine! What about you?! I heard your call earlier...!

[allwehad]

Yeah, I'm perfectly fine! Had a couple of run-ins, but...

[Other than some bruising, she looks fine. SHE IS STILL STARING AT THE BLOOD, THOUGH. Lucas, if you are bleeding...]

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke was about to leave, when he spots the hovercraft flying towards him. Welp, that sure looks like a thing that can help him get out of here, so he starts running towards Lucas as soon as he hears him shouting.]

Oi, wait for me!

[a_gentle_boy]

Luke!

[He would have yelled for the rest of Luke's family, but he had the vaguest inkling that they would be fine by themselves, from what he recalled of them. Teleportation was always handy.]

It's been a while! Are you alright?!

[hintcoinplz]

It's good to see you again, Lucas!

[Luke's not too worried about the rest of his family at the moment, them being able to teleport and all. He'll just meet them again on the other side. He's real concern are the folks he cares about who can't teleport - namely Edward and Once-ler.]

I'm as good as I can be, I think!

[wishesforacutiemark]

W-whoah, what is THAT?!

[a_gentle_boy]

['IT'S A GIANT HEAD JUST GET IN' is what Lucas wants to say, but he restrains himself from being too rude.]

IT'LL GET YOU TO SAFETY. GET IN.

[wishesforacutiemark]

R-really? [And then she sees some hazmats in the distance....ulp. Better trust this boy. Apple Bloom hurries in]

[noluckduck]

Holy shit.

[It's not like Clover had a plan beyond running for her life and punching whatever stood in her way, however well that might work, so she is rather glad to have stumbled upon this... thing.

It's never pleasant to see a kid covered in blood, though. Or, well, anyone, really. Regardless, she rushes to get inside.]

You okay?

[a_gentle_boy]

I'm fine!

[The opening fuses shut behind Clover as she rushes in and Lucas heads for the controls.]

This is the last stretch. We're going to make it outta here - we all are.

[noluckduck]

... Right. [She'd better not ask.]

But... even if we make it out - what then?

[virtualdiva]

[She's just going to clamber inside--you don't need to tell her twice, what with this town going completely nuts.]

What's going on?!

[a_gentle_boy]

It's a hovership!

[Lucas assumes that she's asking about the floating head given that everyone else has been so surprised by it.]

We can get to the highway more quickly like this; hold on!

[virtualdiva]

I am!

[Holding on so very tightly.]
