Looking at it from all angles, even using the hand that was practically glued to shine it under some light. Zoey glanced at her and immediately learned just [i][i]why[/i][/i] she was covering her chest. And Zoey would too if they were [i]that[/i] big. It was like she had fuckin' [i]bottle caps[/i]. “Pretty sure you defied death too many times for it to come take you in your sleep. If either of us were actually dead I’d imagine we’d remember being hounded down by him,” said Penny, which made Zoey tug at her collar yet again at the mention of [i]him[/i]. “But you’re right, Zoey, figuring this out is dumb. We should really just fucking go.” It was strange - not the whole getting trapped in an abandoned city thing... that Penny was agreeing with her. That they just leave, which was a novel idea wasn't it? Why didn't they fuckin' think of it sooner?! Penny made her intents clear as she walked to the door and Zoey was quick to move over to her. To be honest, Zoey didn't want to stick around anyhow for a wide variety of reasons - namely the fact that if it had something to do with [i]him[/i], she didn't want to chance it. She threw up the peace sign as she walked towards the door. "Later fam, catch ya'll on the flipside." That was when Elron went on a giant mad ass speech... and for the first time in what felt like ages, Zoey smirked like a cat. The guy went on like they were some [i]amateurs[/i]. Like really? Zoey survived hell on earth! "Fragile ego, much?" Zoey muttered underneath her breath... she didn't want to stir the pot any further to be honest. The bastard would probably get violent at this rate. [color=f7976a]"If we're leaving this bar we're doing it all together."[/color] "... Then get off your ass and let's go," Zoey loudly commanded before she went on a speech. "This is what I'm talkin' about Elron - you're getting ahead of yourself acting like you're the macho-man just because you're a secret agent or whatever." She took a puff of her cigarette as she threw her hands behind her head. "Truth is, whatever comes for us - ain't gonna last long-" Zoey said. Though, while Odessa was examining the badge in confusion she stopped at an instant before she smirked. However, that smirk didn't last long as Odessa felt a horrible presence... coming right towards them. The girl shouted, [i]"Get away from the door!"[/i] Zoey saw [i]something[/i] heading towards them that was tall, black and coming fast. Zoey immediately tackled Penny to the ground as the thing finally made impact. It absolutely crashed through the front of the building like a crazy Kool-Aid man. It created a huge cloud of dust as it sent chunks of debris everywhere. When the dust settled, Zoey was still on top of Penny. She climbed up to her hands and knees and saw [i]it.[/i] It was definitely not human or even corporeal. It was like one of those Apparition things she heard mentioned on the Snapchat group a few times. It was spindly, humanoid, about fourteen feet tall, without a feature on its body. Its limbs were abnormally long, almost touching the ground, and the whole thing was made out of a moving black smoke. It had no head, it was hunched over so it's true height was hard to tell. Its hands were massive, probably big enough to completely crush Zoey's own torso with just a grasp and each finger ended sharp and pointy like a claw. By comparison, its feet were tiny and human-like, but not like it was using them - it was hovering up and down. "... Apparition," Odessa said as she had her hands together at her waistline. While it had no head the thing's voice came out of nowhere and it was near impossible to understand. Like it was a voice coming from the other side. "...
