Mercedes nods at B.B., then looks up at Jeshua. "Hello, Jeshua. My name's Mercedes. My friends and I are here to help you. Your parents miss you and want you to come back home. Would you like to go back home?

Con roll to convince Jeshua that his parents miss him and we're his friends Charisma [8] + Con [4] + Kinesics [3] (15d6.hits(5)=4)

[inca1980]

@Mercedes:

[OOC: Jeshua's con resist.  Charisma 1 + Perception 3 = (4d6.hits(5)=1).]

Jeshua slowly pokes his head out from behind one of the rows of seats up in the balcony as he hears what you said echo through the auditorium.  "...MMMOMM..MMY?"  His ability to talk has very obviously been ravaged by the virus. 

Your astral sight sees his dual natured aura shining brilliantly full of fear and confusion. 

@B.B.:
Sure enough you do see a blue tarp which is covering up an old hammond B3 organ along with it's Leslie amplifier in the corner.  This place really was that old.  Almost like an episode of Time Trolls...that wacky pair of british trolls, Manni and...what was his name....(this background count was really messing with your abilitiies)...well anyways, that wacky pair of trolls that time travel to different periods and just freak everyone out....all the hijinks they get into.  Well this was like one of those episodes where they go back to the late 20th century and end up joining this gospel choir.     

@Everyone:

Spiderman keeps on looking over at the computer terminals at the back of the altar.  "Hey man, i'm not going without some of this loot right here" and he starts moving toward them and climbs up the 1m high ledge.  As he's walking over to the terminals he looks at B.B., "Hey man, nice shot there.  I  need to get me some of those EX rounds.  Once we outta here i'll trade you some of this loot for a hit'a those crystals you been throwing back."

[Kontact]

"Priorities, Spider.  We're currently surrounded by about 30 hungry ghouls.  Until we're sure we can get out, there's no use in seeing what we can take with us.  Besides, for all we know, everything in here is swarming with their disease.  None of us share the vampire's immunity to ghoulification, so I'm not touching anything in this shithole.  My building don't rent to ghouls."  The grenades looked to be alright.  He set them to detonate after leaving his comm range, so after 5 meters of travel they'll arm.  He cranked his radar up to high power and headed toward the door from the western exit where Walks was hiding.

[Walks Through Walls]

Walks Through Walls will walk over towards Jeshua and try and figure out if he was hurt by his fall or how badly he might be hurt. "Do we have any ideas for evading the ghouls outside?"

[Kontact]

"Sunlight hurts them.  We still have an hour before that stops being a factor.  Hence the tarp for the boy.  Not sure yet if you'll want to walk him out of here or knock him out and carry him.  Meantime, I'm going to peak through the walls and see how the ghoulies are moving.  If they seem too close for comfort, I'll toss them one of these flash packages.  It should scatter them pretty well.  If anything goes wrong, hopefully I'll have enough time to warn you."  B.B. still had a bit of inertia in him, pulling him forward.  He felt the walls of this place screaming to consume him.  Was he seeking oblivion when he walked in here?  Was there something in Oliver's code which shut off his brain and made him think it was a good idea to walk into this death-pit?  His cranked up senses could pick out the scratching of rats in the walls.  "Fuck this place.  Shoulda brought a firebomb."

[inca1980]

@B.B.:

Your radar can see into a few of the adjacent rooms and you pick up a few humanoid figures scurrying about, most likely just a few ghouls which seek shelter inside other corners of the old church.  Looking up at the exit in which you came it looks to be clear just like when you entered.

@Walks:

Jeshua's first reaction is to try and scurry away from you, but you see that he is limping a little bit and he winces and stops retreating, crouching about 5 m away. 

@Mercedes:

Jeshua looks down over the balcony at Mercedes.  After hearing your question he slowly nods and see him mouth "...Hommmme..."

[Sludig]

Woofer tracks the various forms scuttling around while Mercedes tries to convince Jeshua to come with them.  The bleeding on his neck has at least stopped, "They ever figure out their meal ticket is gone,  they're going to swarm us."

[Kontact]

<<@team:  Bit of movement in the back rooms.  They're not running toward the gunfire, for sure.  I'm going to check outside.  I'll cover you guys from there.>>

Brian moved to the front door and peaked out to see if Bessie Mae or anyone else was still standing around.

[inca1980]

@B.B.:

You move up to the balcony and out the side door, back through the hallway and into the foyer without encountering any threats.  At the front door you see that Kilby is no longer there but Bessie Mae is still standing right next to the cross outside standing in what looks like a completely catatonic state.  It is no longer raining but you still see several groups of huddled ghouls around the flanks of the church.  Several of them turn to look at you but do not seem to react or be interested in you at all. 

[FastJack]

Mercedes nods at Jeshua, "Yes, Jeshua, we're going to take you home. My friend Walks there is just making sure you're not hurt and can go with us. But to get home, we're also going to need you to be a good boy and stay quiet and do everything we say. Can you do that?"

[inca1980]

Jeshua seems to be soothed by the smooth cadence of Mercedes voice.  He nods in acceptance to her and then falls from a crouching position into a sitting one and seems to wince again.   

[Walks Through Walls]

Walks Through Walls will take out her medkit and administer first aid.

medkit 6 +first aid 1 + logic 3 - 2 awakened-2conditions=6d6
6d6.hits(5) → [2,1,2,6,3,6] = (2)
 (ooc hopefully I figured it right)

She will then start towards the exit.

[inca1980]

@Cynthia:

The medkit seems to be at a loss to figure out Jeshua's dual natured biology and doesn't seem to be of much assistance to you.  Jeshua of his own will begins to follow you towards the exit and it seems that he will be cooperating.

@Everyone:

You all make your way to the foyer and out to the front of the church towards the cross.  The 6 of you approach Bessie Mae who is standing staring off into space in a catatonic state.  You even try to shake her but she merely stays there with a dead stare in her eyes.  From her look it is quite obvious that she is gone and you have no idea how much of Bessie Mae is still in there and how much is some personasoft glitch.  The ghouls on the outside of the church nevertheless seem to completely ignore all of you and you don't feel very threatened by them..

[Kontact]

"So, who wants to play the role of little red raining hood for our return journey.  That shit worked too well on the walk out.  Well, that or we could hire a war cab once we hit a part of the barrens with matrix signal..  I just don't want to get clipped by some pissant gang like the Rusted Stilettos on my jaunt home."

[Walks Through Walls]

"I vote for the cab. The less we have to travel with Jeshua the less that could possible go wrong." Walks through Walls looks around, "I agree though it seems too easy at this point. Especially if Jeshua got infected when he decided to leave. Unless our friend in there told them to attack when he left, and now can't do so."
