and so the old man destroyed all the demons with the power of AMERICA
time for hunter to do some matrix-style 360 degree kung fu i hope he's not rusty
"Hardly, but I figure if they've been alive for this long, then it'd be a good idea to keep ourselves that way too, maybe join up with them to increase our chances. We should head down there."
Darius was silently analyzing the situation as he listened to her. Demons appearing more or less out of thin air outside, allies fending them off in the courtyard. As long as they stayed outside this should be a simple matter of defending the entrance from invaders...
BANG BANG BANG
Three shots rang out, shattering the windows along with Darius' concentration. Darius only jumped maybe three feet in the air, of course, having nerves of stainless steel as he does. He turned on the spot; demons had snuck up behind them without his or Niorin's even noticing. Outside, he could just make out the sniper that had saved them from a rather nasty encounter.
But they were already in the school. Demons were now popping up all over the place, flooding in from every opening they could find. That was bad.
His mind kicked into gear. Abandoning the door, Darius led the way back further into the hallway. "No good. Demons are inside the school. Priority one is: protect the other students during evacuation. We need mobility over strength in numbers." Most classrooms would be well-protected, with a teacher to hold anything nasty at bay. The hallways would be a different story; any student not under the supervision of a teacher was now in danger. "Enemies may come from any side. Please keep an eye on our rear; I've got the front." He whipped his sword out in front of him and bared his teeth; rows of white needles, sharp and serrated. Did that look cool? Was that menacing enough? He hoped it was. He was really going for "cool and menacing" right now.
Darius knew a group of students had just gone in this direction. They'd meet up with as many of those students as possible and escort them to an evacuation route. The two out in the courtyard would have to wait; but if they were on patrol, they could surely hold their own without Darius and Niorin's backup.

one of them is going to get sword'd
with so many tamers around i am wondering how one tells which demons are fair game
"Please tell me that you smell that?"
Darius slowed his pace a bit and tested the air.
"No, I don't smell a thing. Did somebody burn some fish sticks somewhere or...?" He glanced at his partner, then shifted his gaze to whatever was now holding her attention. The window. Rain.
Acid rain, apparently.
Just then there was a splat as some half-formed creature distributed its guts on the window.
Well... that's just not right.
"I think--checking outside is probably a good idea," he said, a little dumbfounded. "...Right, let's check it out. We'll go that-a-way." Darius took the lead, heading for the nearest exit. He readied himself to draw his sword, just in case. It was silly, of course, to imagine something actually serious occuring here on campus. Still, it didn't hurt to be prepared. There was another pair patrolling just outside; they might know what's going on.
"...Hey, do you know those two out in the courtyard?" Darius pointed out the window as they passed by to the pair outside. They looked like they were having fun with whatever was going on out there.
...How does someone in a wheelchair even end up on guard duty? Well, how does one as academically spotless as himself end up on guard duty? Truly, the world was full of mysteries...

Niorin caught Darius' attention and stopped him in the middle of the hallway. She was obviously looking over her partner, so Darius took the moment to consider her as well. She seemed to exude an aura of apathy toward him. Was that inherent or deliberate? Either way, he found it somewhat irritating.
"I'm Niorin, though you've probably heard of me already right?" she said. It was a pretty irritating introduction, Darius thought. A little too arrogant, but not quite arrogant enough to get called out on. Well then.
He cocked his head when she finished her introduction. "Niorin? Never heard of you," he said nonchalantly.
That wasn't true, of course. It was a big school, but it wasn't that big. Everybody at least knew of everybody else. And besides that, Darius was reasonably sure they'd had a class together at some point, probably.
He started patrolling down the hall again, assuming his partner would just follow along. "I'm Darius. We've got this wing of the school. Should be pretty simple, and we don't even need to get wet. Which is good; you don't seem like the type to enjoy running around in the rain, eh?"
Ooh, that was a good moment for a distant rumble of thunder to reach them. Still a ways off, but that would indeed be an awful storm starting out there.
