"I mean - you can stay if you want? Or maybe keep Elizabeth company if you'd rather?"

Jenn watches Bina for a moment, and then nods. "I'll go check on Elizabeth," she decides, getting carefully to her feet. "Yell if you need me."

Permalink

"Alright. Thanks."

Permalink

And Jenn heads back into the living room to find Elizabeth.

Permalink

Elizabeth is loitering near the glass door out onto the balcony, keeping an eye out on the area beyond apparently, but doesn't seem to be doing anything suspicious right now.

Permalink

And Bina's looking after Jenn, then taking a deep breath and looking back to Lainey. "So. Um. Knees..."

Permalink

"Yes. Knees." And Lainey sets to work.

Permalink

"We secure?" Jenn asks Elizabeth.

Permalink

"So far I haven't heard anything - but I'm unsure about how safe this apartment is. Someone very athletic could climb to that balcony, and the hallway isn't easily securable - it's a blind corner to the stairs."

Permalink

"There another exit aside from that hall?"

Permalink

"There's only the stairs. Only doors in and out go into the apartment hallway and the balcony."

Permalink

"We probably want to move as soon as we can then. Find somewhere more defensible, less of a corner."

Permalink

"I don't know this area well, unfortunately."

Permalink

Jenn isn't as familiar with the area as she might like either. "I would like to get a look at a map before we go anywhere," she decides.

Permalink

"There's been brownouts apparently, so the internet's not really reliable right now - but we might be able to find a hard copy."

Permalink

"We can ask Bina and Lainey when they're done," Jenn says firmly. She has no desire to poke through Bina's apartment

Permalink

She nods. "We should set a watch on the balcony and hall."

Permalink

"I'll watch the hall."

Permalink

"Right. I got - "

Permalink

There's a noise from the aforementioned hall. Sort of a gloopy thump-thump-slither.

Permalink

Jenn swears, and reaches for her back. "Is the balcony clear?" she asks Elizabeth. (Because she knows that sound.)

Permalink

"On it - "

And she runs to the balcony - it was clear earlier, but another sweep doesn't hurt - 

Permalink

-Down below is Ira, staring up, almost blankly.

Permalink

Welp.

Elizabeth briefly contemplates shooting her. She has her gun. It'd be easy.

...Okay maybe not at quite this distance.

And that'd cause a hell of a lot of trouble.

And possibly the not-Ant.

She ducks back inside. "Ira's out there. Unless you want to try overtaking her... Or shooting her."
