Dice result: 1D10 => 10 Natural success; you found an item!
Copper barked twice and wag his tail from the happiness. Another girl called him "good boy"! He met so many friends, it's crazy! If only the master were around. The dog sniffed the air and let his powerful nose lead him. After a few minutes of research, he came back to Emery, gently holding a sealed pack of crackers. Nobody had any clues WHERE did he get those! The dog put the item right beneath the girl's feet and jumped in excitement, licking her in the face. Item: a pack of crackers (+1 health) [!] Emery restored 1 sanity point.

Once the dog relented Nerissa let go of it. Jaime came back and told her to let go too, but she already had. Immediately the girl began to pat and pamper the dog. "Don't encourage it." She told the girl but to no avail. It's owner already neglected it's training and everyone else just reinforced it's bad behaviour.
The phone in Tristan's hand gave another vibration and she turned to look. "Typical... the only phone with reception and we can't use it." She muttered.
Soon Alex and Emery too came back both of them pampering the dog first, Alex then wanted to try and crack the phone. "Hey, we shouldn't try randomly. What if there are only limited amount of tries and the phone is locked for good." She said to Alex.
Somewhere Copper had found a pack of crackers and brought it back to Emery. Well at least they had something to eat now.
Nerissa felt her phone buzz and looked at it. There was a message from an unknown number. It told her to strangle the dog with the collar. Without emotion Nerissa flicked the message off screen and let her phone stay in her hand. What sort of sick person was sending those? Besides she wasn't going to kill the dog without a good reason. Sure it was unruly but it wasn't a big enough flaw to kill it. She decided to keep the content of that message to herself though, no need to alarm the others.

Copper let out a whimper and tried to hide behind Emery's legs, with his tail down, and a puzzled look in his eyes. The dog looked around perplexed and scared, before all of sudden his eyes froze, staring at Nerissa. "You had a choice," Nerissa heard a distorted robotic voice inside her head. The dog took a few steps aside from Emery, baring his teeth, a low growl building in its throat. Like a flash, Copper jumped at the girl and sunk his teeth into her right wrist.
Nerissa got -1 health point.

Emery watched Copper walk off, sniffing the ground to explore the area. She stayed there on her knees, waiting to see if he would get anything. While she waited she started to feel herself grow a bit calmer. Copper then came back with crackers which he left by her feet, looking proud. His tail wagged and he jumped up onto her knees, kissing her to death. Giggles poured from her face, her hands immediately petting the good pupper. "Aww! You're such a good dog!" She laughed, picking up the crackers before he could smash them in all of his excitement. She placed them on her lap before giving him all of the good pets. "Good boy, I wish I had a treat for you but I hope this is okay," She said before kissing him on the nose. After that she Eskimo kissed him.
She finished petting him with a small hug, letting him jump down so she put the crackers in her pocket. Which was when she heard him whimper, making her head snap up to look at him. "Copper?" She asked, looking behind her when he moved to hide behind her legs. His tail between his leg as if something was scaring him. But the moment she noticed he looked scared was the moment his eyes seem to froze, looking blank while he stared at something. Her eyes narrowed in confusion, looking up to see where he was looking. Her gaze falling on Nerissa. "Copper it's okay, it's just Neris-." Copper moved away from her and started to growl.
Her eyes widened when she saw the stance he was in─he was going to attack. "Copper, Copper n- Oh my god!" She shrieked when he lunged at Nerissa, biting her wrist. Sending Emery to action. She rushed to the dog, grabbing his mouth, prying it open to get him off of Nerissa. Once it was open she hurried and dragged him away from Nerissa and held him to herself tightly.
"No boy! No!" She yelled, keeping him to her while she waited for him to calm down. She looked up at everyone's horrified expressions, which made her hold him closer to him. The look he had before he attacked flashing into her mind repeatedly. It had looked as if he saw something that scared him, something that made him fight. And with everything that happened to her, could she really doubt the good boy that never attacked anyone before? No, something scared him..
"Guys, I-I think something scared him," She said, looking straight at Al, her eyes being dead serious. As if she was trying to tell him how it felt like it was connected to what happened before.

Jamie didn’t pay attention to Nerissa’s comment and kept petting the puppy. She wasn’t encouraging it.. she was simply happy to see him. "And here I thought you were scared of dogs," Al teased “Yeaaaaaaah but…” she said looking back into the dog’s playful eyes “he’s cool” she said determined. This dog is nice. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, unlike other dogs she has faced in her life. “Is it a message?” sha sked Alex after he looked at the phone “What does it say?” hopefully it’s not another message daring them to do something.
Then Emery came petting Copper. Jamie let go of him for that time but she was still sitting on the floor next to him. Emery then proceeded to ask the four-legged to help her find something useful. The dog happily obliged and found a pack of crackers. Food yess. Jamie wasn’t really hungry right now but it could come in handy later. Then she heard a buzzing come from Nerissa’s phone. Jamie immediately knew what it was. “Nerissa wait…” she said but the girl already checked the message. It was too late.
All of a sudden Copper whimper and tried to hide behind Emer’y legs, then hi froze. His eyes fixated on Nerissa. Jamie’s eyes widened, her expression turning to a face of horror when the dog started baring it’s teeth. Emery tried to calm him down but no use.
The dog barged himself at Nerissa and sunk his teeth into the girls flesh. Nerissa let out a cry of horror and pain. Jamie jolted back as Copper ran past her. Looking at the scene terrified not able to think, not able to do anything. Emery was able to take the rabid animal off the girl, holding him close to her until he calmed down. She said something but Jamie couldn’t hear because of the buzzing in her ears. She stared at the bloodhound horrified. She never imagined he would attack them all of a sudden. She was wrong. This dog is just like the others. Biting people when they feel like it. The brunette wanted to cry.. to scream, be angry, but she laid there in shock, afraid of who the dog was gonna attack next.

“Like hell it isn’t! He just started crying like you were dead! That delusional...stupid…” He bite his lips he can't tell to Jamie why Ryan act like this ... Actually it's maybe better he's not sure she would be very happy to learn he lied to her ... He feel guilty about it like when he look at Nancy right in the eyes earler saying to her there was nothing between him and Ryan ... Tristan wouldn't mind if his friends knew about it, it's more about his parents. But he know how this subject is delicat for Ryan so he's lying for him. "You could get hurt! You know I’d never forgive myself for that…” And he feel more bad ... "You could get hurt too ... " he whisper as unique answer didn't having any good argument to said to her ... " Trist is right, we shouldn't split up here. 'Sides I ain't going anywhere without him." He blush ... Did ... Did he really just said it in front of everyone ? Apparently no one seems to notice how it can sound strange since Tristan and Ryan never seems to be friends or know eachother enough for Ryan beeing that worried about him ... Like the hug and crying wasn't already too strange ... He should be worried that people could understand their relationship ... But the only thing he can do his blushing and trying to not let his smile beeing to obvious. “Wait, I didn’t see you in the auditorium when we crashed. Where were you?” "Oh ... Phil and I were ready to leave the school I ...Wasn't feeling okay ..." yeah it's an euphemism ... Hee was litteraly a mess ... "We were at the entrance when the ground start checking ... I think I remember have seen Tara and Chris now ... " He hope they are ok ...
Jamie hugh him saying “Stay safe…” He look at her and give her a soft smile "You too". "So does anyone else want to strip down right now? Or are we good?" He look away, squeezing his jacket on him trying to hide as much as skin as he can ... He seems upset and he actually is ... Next time I'll just let your sister expose her boobs to everyone if you prefer He think ... It was already very hard for him to remove his clothes he didn't need Al's comments ... But very quick he calm down ... The boy didn't know about ... Maybe he was just didn't know what to said for close this awkward situation and he only said this ... His attention is catching by a noise, he go search for it and found a phone. His heart stop as he try to answer the call ... but to late ... "shit ..." Why can't come check for this faster ?! Damn it ... He look at the wallpaper and the code pop up ... How the hell'll they find it ? "Nice wallpaper. Any idea who's phone that is?" He jump a little he didn't heard Al coming behind him ... "N-no ..." He turn to the other "Did someone recognize this phone ?" "see if you can crack the password on that. Maybe somebody's birthday?" That's ... an idea ... but not very helpful ... They are so many in the school and if it's to someone from the clup ... they are like 30 peoples ... Tristan know all the name of the members even the ones he didn't really talk too but he didn't know the birthday ... He try to remember the people he know they birthday date ... Nancy ? The wallpaper is not her type and Ryan would have know this phone belong to her ... It's not jamie's or Phillip ... Maybe Thalia ? The unicorn didn't seems like her ... It can't be Emery's Al would have know ... Could it be to Polaris ? "Did polaris have her phone on her ?" he ask, it would make sense the phone belong to one of them ... didn't it ? He's not very sure with everything that happen ...
He look at Al go away ... Well ... Now they are split up ... great ... He can't really blame him ... He's worried for his sister but ... They could go all together ... The phone quit his hand he look at Ryan trying to found the code " Anyone remember what was on those screens? Maybe that was the code." Why didn't he thought about that ? That a good idea, well if they were in a video game it would totally be the answer ... To bad they are not because the way out is generally more obvious in game ... "It was P PO E" He said to his boyfriend next to him. "In number it give 16 1615 5 ... " Ok it not this apparently ... Or they could try to make an addition 1+6=7 1+6=7 1+5=6 so it would be 7765 ? Can it be the answer ? He didn't want to risk to said something stupid and guide the group in the wrong way ... Nerissa come close to them and took the phone. "Whose phone do you guys think this might be?" He raise his shoulder "I don't recognize it, I tried to remember how look the phone of my brother's friend ... I can't remember one of them having this one ..."Is this phone only to someone from the club ? They're really seems like they fall into some corpse party dimension ... If it is the fact ... This phone could be to a stranger who is stuck here like them or was stuck some times ago ... She give him back the phone he thanx her by a nod. "Maybe we should hold on to it and try to find it's owner first before we try cracking the code." "It's more respectful indeed ... But if we can call for help ..." He look at the lockscreen ... He didn't know what is the best way ...
A dog he haven't notice before came up, and then the other came back. "I'm happy to see you're all ok" he said sincerelly. He's surprise to “Who’s phone is that?” "We don't know, I find it. It was buzzing a few minute ago" He feel a buzz in his hand, making him jump by surprise ... He read the text ""Hello? Is anybody in there? H-" what ... In there ? What a strange text ... You don't send this kind of text to someone you know ... Or did this person try to reach them ? Or did the phone is freaking alive ?! Now it look like Simulacra ... Ok he really need to get a life ... He need to stop comparing everything to video game or show ... Lost in his thought he didn't see the phone going to other people hand for finishing in Al's hand. "Hey, we shouldn't try randomly. What if there are only limited amount of tries and the phone is locked for good." "Nerissa is right ... Your idea of the birthday date could work only if we know to who's this phone belong too ... And it's not sure, it can be their birthday date or the one from someone they love ..." It's just too random. . . He came to Al and take back the phone looking if it said somewhere a number of try ... Then everything start to get out of hand, the dog the other named Cooper attack Nerissa. Tristan's heart just stop beating during a minute ... When Emery manage to remove the dog teeths from nerissa's arms he run to her and grab her arms trying to stop the bleeding "shit ..." he thought about his tie ... He knew it could be usefull ... But ... They need to clean the bite. He look at Nerissa "Come with me ... We need to clean your wrist before make a bandage ... The boy's toilet are not far away ..." They have to be quick, she's bleeding ... and if they go maybe the dog'll calm down. "After we clean it I'll make a bandage with my tie on your arm" he said trying to staying calm ... He look at Jamie ... Shit ... She's totally freaking out ... He look at Nerissa arm that he's still holding ... god damn it ... With his second hand he grab his friend hand "Jamie ! Try to breath ... It's ok, you risk nothing ... He's just scare ..." it's just out of hand ... "Guys, try to calm the dog ... I'll going with the girls at the bathroom we'll be back soon ..." Jamie need to be kept away from the dog until she calm down ... even if seeing him healing the dog bite'll not being helpful to her ... it's better than stayed in the same room that what fear her ...

Upon hearing a distorted voice Nerissa jolted slightly. 'You had a choice.' It said. The voice sounded like it came inside her head and upon looking at her fellow club members no one else seemed to have heard it. Was she losing it?
“Nerissa wait…” She turned her attention towards Jaime who had spoken to her. "What is it?" She asked very correctly. Suddenly she felt a pair of paws on her, making her lose balance again, falling on her butt on the floor. But this time there was a sharp pain in her right wrist that she had lifted up instinctively to shield herself. As she started to regain some idea of her surroundings she became aware of the dog and it's teeth holding her arm between them. Upon seeing the blood that unmistakeably belonged to her she let out a scream. It felt so surreal and like everything was in slow motion except the pain she felt. With her left hand she tried to pry the dog's snout open, eventually growing more desperate and frantic to even hit it. Suddenly there was someone beside her. All she could see was two hands who helped her to remove the dog from her. When the dog released her arm she scooted away, trying to get close to the others in case the dog got loose again and would attack her again. Why not? It had tasted blood now.
"Guys, I-I think something scared him," She heard Emery say and something snapped Nerissa out of her initial shock. "Oh yes! Poor doggy!!! I didn't do anything to it and look at this!!" She showed her wrist which made it hurt more and she hugged it to herself. Her breathing was shallow and her injured arm was shaking. The blood would be staining her uniform but it was already dirty from the fall so she didn't care. Suddenly she felt someone touch her and instinctively she flinched and turned to look at the person. Seeing it was Tristan she calmed down a little. His voice sounded a little distant to her but he was talking calmly and that was what she fixated on, the tone of his voice. Slowly piecing it together that he would be helping her treat it.
Obediently she got up aided by him and suddenly started to feel overwhelmed by the situation. There was something stinging in her eyes as she leaned closer to Tristan. It was really awkward because of their height difference. She was willing to let Tristan lead her away because she did not want people to see her cry. Sure she had gotten hurt before so pain was not new to her, she played sports after all. But she never before got attacked like this by a ravenous beast no less. When Tristan had helped her up she had taken her cellphone in her uninjured hand and now slid it into her pocket.
Tristan stopped for a while and took someone with them. Nerissa lifted her head a little to see Jaime join them. Had the beast attacked her too? Perhaps she should have strangled the dog after all? None of this would have happened. No! She was not to blame for the dog attacking, she couldn't have known. Nor did she have any reason to do it. Stupid dog... Stupid dog... Stupid creepy message....

Ryan was unsure what to do to really get a handle at the situation as the events unfolded all at once. Screaming, crying- blood. Who the hell lets a dog in the damn school in the first place?! Amazing that the janitor was able to slip that one past his mother. He watched as Emery, the fucking smallest girl between them all attempted to get a handle on the dog. Ah yes lets all just stand here wide eyed and gawking as we just let that happen. But, to much of surprise Emery did manage to pry the dog's jaw off of...uh...dark haired girl. You know at some point he'll get these names down. Ryan quickly moved forward as he got his hands on the dog's collar, his grip tightening as he helped keep the hound in place. Better that he tries to keep him in place...more secure. That and- if this thing tries to attack another person he'd rather it be himself than another girl. Figured he'd be able to take it better than they could. He attempted to nudge Emery away so he could get a better hold of the dog- trying to get the message through to her to get back. "-- scared or not Em this fucking dog just attacked one of us? You want to risk getting bit yourself?!" He swallowed thickly looking to Tristan who was offering help to the wounded girl- he was leaving them...he was leaving him . With that girl no less- Damn did he want to push everyone away and coddle Tristan right then and there. Shielding him from anyone trying to get between the two...but...the dog...Honestly didn't trust this thing getting loose. Especially with only Emery trying to hold it back. Maybe the wound would distract the two from whatever the hell could happen. Ryan nodded towards Tristan when they made their way out of the room, his hands still holding the dog down in place. " We need to tie this thing down- I can't fucking sit on it forever." Ryan's eyes scanned the room, trying to find some sort of object that could be used to maybe hold the dog in place...a rope would be good...or anything. [ Ryan preforms a perception check! ]

Dice result: 1D10 => 1 Absolute failure; -1 health point.
Wiggling around while sitting on the scared dog and wasn't the best idea ever. Copper didn't like the way everybody reacted and didn't know what they wanted from him! He didn't do anything wrong, did he? The dog used all of his might and jumped up, making Ryan lose his balance and fall to the side. Trying to keep himself from falling the guy grabbed one of the wires to the computer monitor that stood on the table next to him, making it fall on top of the poor unfortunate fellow's face. As a result - Ryan's nose was crushed and bleeding.
Meanwhile, the whining, scared to death dog made it's way to one of the corners in the room and looked around his eyes fool of fear and apprehension.
Ryan lost 1 health point.

The password Al put in immediately reset after he had typed it in, causing him to give a light shrug in response. Figured, he thought, not having expected it to work in the first place. Honestly he probably would've been floored if it had worked. But it was worth a shot at least; so far it was the only phone he'd seen that had some kind of service on it, and as far as reaching the others or calling for help, it was their best bet. Even if it was rather strange in all honesty...
At Jamie's question over what the message said, he read it out loud towards the group, explaining the rest had been cut off before Nerissa interjected about not trying further to which Al gave a roll of the eyes at. In truth, she did have a point; they didn't want to risk locking the phone for an extensive amount of time. But where was the challenge and fun in that?
Tristan, however, expressed similar ideas as he took the phone back from the raven-haired and glanced at the screen himself. Though they were soon interrupted when a buzzing sound was heard from Nerissa's pocket. Al barely had time to notice her pull her phone out before Copper suddenly started whimpering and cowering behind Emery who had been cuddling him just seconds ago, drawing his attention towards the bloodhound.
What's he upset about? he thought as his brows knit together in a confused expression. He had remembered the dog's reaction earlier before the computers had turned on, though as he glanced up towards where the rows of desks were, everything remained off and quiet... All except for the sudden sound of Copper growling and snarling with his eyes locked on Nerissa.
"Copper, wha-?" Al started to ask as his body tensed up, his brown eyes traveling between the pupper and his target. He had honestly never seen Copper respond to someone like that. Though before he could finish or try to hold him back as Em was, the dog had launched himself at the dark-haired girl and sent her to the ground, his jaws locking around her right wrist. "Oh shit," he muttered under his breath, his eyes widening as he moved in.
Everything happened insanely fast after that. Emery and Ryan had reacted the fastest in trying to get Copper to let go, while Nerissa was screaming and Jamie looked close to hyperventilating. Instead of getting in the two's way, Al went towards Jamie instead and pulled her back out of the way so the others could handle the dog better. Though as he sat with her and tried to get her to breathe, he couldn't help but have his eyes travel towards the pupper as he eventually opened his jaw, displaying the bleeding marks in Nerissa's arm now.
What the hell just happened? he thought as he stared at the wound, still trying to process everything. The entire time he had known Copper, the dog had never growled or barked at anyone, let alone bit someone. He was a good boy, and while he did have some listening issues and liked to jump up on people, he wasn't violent. Not without purpose anyway... And as the raven-haired's eyes shifted to lock onto his sister's, he saw his own thoughts mirrored in her expression as she spoke.
"Guys, I-I think something scared him," she said as she hugged Copper close, keeping him away from their wounded party member as she attempted to calm him down. Nerissa immediately reacted to the comment, gesturing to her wrist that was still bleeding while Ryan tried nudging Emery to the side to take over holding the dog down, causing the raven-haired male to send him a pointed look.
"Scared or not, Em," the blond explained as Tristan moved in to help Nerissa, "this fucking dog just attacked one of us? You want to risk getting bit yourself?!"
"Well trying to choke him isn't going to help either," Al pointed out as he gestured to Copper who was practically being sat on at the moment. "You're only going to make him feel cornered." He didn't want Em to get hurt either; that they could agree on at least. But Copper hadn't reacted violently without warning. Like his sister mentioned, he had looked scared... kind of like how he was looking right now as his growls and bared teeth were replaced with confused glances at the group.
Something had made Copper react that way, he wondered with a frown as he watched Tristan escort Jamie and Nerissa to the bathroom to go clean up the bite. As they walked, he noticed the dark-haired girl slip her phone into her pocket, and his eyes narrowed a little at the sight, remembering the text she had gotten before the bloodhound had reacted. Did it have to do with that message she got?
Considering the other strange things that had been happening and the fact Copper had reacted to them in a scared manner too, it wasn't entirely outside the realm of possibility that this hacker--or whoever it was--might be involved somehow. Of course he couldn't really prove it either... nor could he give any explanation as to how. He hadn't seen the message Nerissa got and he couldn't ask her what it said since the trio had already left the room. But there were too many coincidences happening. And Copper wasn't acting like himself. It was like he felt threatened, he wondered as he looked over towards his sister, remembering the serious looks she had given him earlier. But why...?
He wasn't able to fully finish his thought, however, as he heard Ryan's voice shouting at the two of them to find something to tie the dog down with. Though Al merely raised an eyebrow, his eyes lowering towards the pupper who was starting to look even more restless and scared than earlier. "I don't think-" he started to suggest, only to be cut off as Copper suddenly jumped up from underneath the pitcher and sent him stumbling forward. Watching as if in slow motion, the raven-haired's eyes widened as Ryan's hand extended out towards one of the cords connected to the monitor near him, trying to break his fall. Except the pull only caused the screen to shoot directly off of the table and fall smack-down onto the blond's face.
It took a second for the whole situation to fully dawn on him, but as he looked at Ryan sprawled out on the floor, Al couldn't help but feel sweet, sweet justice at seeing the same momma's boy who had socked him earlier finally get hit in the face himself, and the sight immediately made him burst into laughter. "Oh My God," he breathed out quietly in between terribly stifled laughs, his eyes lighting up in amusement. Getting bucked right off a damn dog... he'd better be thankful he's a baseball player and not a bull rider. Though as his laughter died down, he finally noticed the amount of blood coming out of the guy's nose and winced a little. Okay, so maybe not quite as funny as it should've been...
However despite feeling a little bad for laughing at the extent of the blond's injury, he wasn't about to go approach him (not even with a ten foot pole, he wouldn't). And the imminent danger of attempting to help after laughing at the guy's very-probable broken nose was anything but tempting. So instead he turned his focus towards the others in the room, mainly his prankster-in-training who was still passed out and unconscious on the floor. Checking to see if she was still breathing, he was thankful to feel the warm air hitting against his hand as he held it next to her face. But he was starting to get worried considering she hadn't woken up yet...
What if she doesn't wake up?
The thought was quick to cross his mind, feeling way too familiar as past emotions tempted to resurface along with it. He found his eyes glancing for a quick moment towards Emery, though he shook his head and pushed the thought and feelings back. No, he wasn't going to let that fear get to him again. She's fine. The others are too. Like 'Drei... and Misha... They were all fine. And he was going to find them, dammit!
Feeling very intent on focusing elsewhere, Al cleared his throat and looked around for Copper, hoping to find where he had run off to. And after glancing around the room, he eventually spotted the scared pupper cowering in the opposite corner of the room. "Hey, bud," he said gently as he slowly approached him, stopping a few yards away to give the dog room to breathe as he sent him a small reassuring smile. "It's okay now. No one's gonna hurt you."

"Oh yes! Poor Doggy!!! I didn't do anything to it and look at this!!"
Emery winced when Nerissa snapped at her, showing her her wrists. "I didn't mean that you did! I am trying to state that─." Before she could finish, Ryan was suddenly next to her, holding Copper back as well. Actually, he was trying to nudge her off so he could have better grip on Copper. Which was something that finally got the blonde one of the glares even Alex didn't want. All while Tristan took charge and took Nerissa out of the room so he could tend to her wound. Emery looked up at Jaime for a second to see it looked like she was having a panic attack and staring at Copper like he was some kind of monster. She followed after Tristan and Nerissa. Dammit...
"Scared or not Em this fucking dog just attacked one of us? You want to risk getting bit yourself?"
That's it, she was done being yelled at. Yes Alex had tried to help, trying to tell Ryan to stop making Copper feel cornered, but she needed to stick up for herself now. "I'm not going to get bit cause I wasn't the one who scared him! Nerissa isn't the person who scared him either. Something frightened him which made him attack," Before she could talk any further, it seemed like Copper snapped out of whatever was going on with him. Cause now he was desperately trying to get away, and the moment she felt him struggle and heard him whimper she let go. Allowing him to leave. But Ryan was still holding onto him which forced the poor pup to jump to get away. But that made the blonde lose his balance and next thing she knew, a computer fell flat on his face. She winced. "Ow.." She whispered, her whole body frozen in a scared postured.
"Jesus, are you okay Ryan?" She asked, helping him get the computer off his face. Once it was off she looked to see where Copper went. The poor thing was in the corner, shaking like a leaf and looking scared. Shit.. She sighed and looked back to Ryan's whose nose was bleeding pretty good. She even heard Al laughing a little bit, which made her look at her brother. She shook her head at him, but made sure she gave him a quick smirk only he was able to see to let him know she agreed with him. It was pretty funny. It was like a comedic act that you would see in Scooby Doo or something.
But she didn't look at him for long, her attention going back to Ryan. "Jesus that's going to leave a bruise. Um, let me go get something to stop the blood," She said, getting up, "Stay still and don't move too fast," She walked off, going to Alex just to grab her shirt from him. She didn't grab it until after he checked to see if Polaris was okay. When it seemed like it was, she gently grabbed the shirt from him. "I'll be taking this back," She whispered to him, giving him a pat on the back, walking back to Ryan.
She ripped one of her sleeves off and placed it on Ryan's nose, grabbing his hand so he could hold it in place. "Right now hold that to your nose, lean forward and breathe through your mouth. Don't do any sudden movements, just wait for it to stop bleeding. Once it stops and you're okay we'll bring you to the bathroom to wash your face. For now, let's focus on getting the bleeding to stop," She suggested, getting back up to her feet after helping Ryan sit in the correct place.
"Also before I forget.. I understand Copper just bit Nerissa, there is no way I'm condoning it. But that dog has never once attacked someone. I also really doubt he hates Nerissa, considering before this whole earthquake, he was begging for her to love him. Which is why I think he sensed, or saw something that scared him and it made him attack─," She stopped, thinking about it for a moment... But it's still so out of character, wouldn't he have hid instead of attack? A light-bulb went off.
"Has anyone gotten a text from someone unknown?" She asked, wanting to know if this really was connected to texts.

At his calmer words towards the scared pupper, Al watched as Copper slowly approached him and nuzzled into his hand. Immediately he smiled, running his fingers through the reddish-brown fur in reassuring pets. And little by little he could see all the shaking and worried expressions that had been in the canine's eyes before gradually fade away until he was wagging his tail again, looking more like the dog the raven-haired knew so well. "See? You're all fine now, bud," Al said as he gave the bloodhound a friendly smile, laughing quietly as the dog scooted closer into him and almost caused him to lose his balance and fall backward. Wrapping his arms around the pupper, he glanced over towards the rest of the group still inside the room and noticed Em as she attended to Ryan's nose injury, using her old shirt she had grabbed back from the raven-haired to help absorb the bleeding. He didn't really see how much help he was gonna be in this situation... not that he really wanted to be near Ryan anyway, considering his laughs probably pissed him off pretty good and he was already fine with his one bruise, thank you very much. But now with the others at the bathroom and his sister occupied, he felt a little lonelier than before... more useless. And his thoughts started to wander once again towards those he hadn't seen yet and wanted to find more than anything. "Do you miss them too, boy?" he asked Copper as he continued petting and hugging him, his previous smile fading a little. Misha, Andrei, Pidge, Fem-Al... The list of friends he had lost track of after the earthquake felt so long. Much longer than he ever wanted to think about at least. And it killed him to be sitting there in the lab doing nothing while his friends could be trapped or hurt... or worse... No. That wasn't what he was going to dwell on. He was going to find them, just like he promised before. And I have the best partner to help me do that, he thought as he glanced at Copper, the smile returning to his face. Shifting so that he was partially kneeling on the tiled floor, Al reached out and playfully pet both sides of the pupper's neck and ears as he looked him in the eyes, his voice hushed but determined. "You ready for some exploring, bud?" he asked the happy dog, instantly grinning as he received a quick lick in response. "Good. Cause we're going to find Misha and 'Drei. There's got to be a way to sniff them out..." Or at the very least, find a way out of through all that debris, he added as an inner thought while giving the dog one last thankful pet before standing up. Allowing Copper to follow beside him as they headed towards the doorway, he glanced over towards his sister, calling out her name to grab her attention. "I'm going to go look around with Copper," he said as small, reassuring smile formed on his lips. "If I find anyone else or discover a way out, I'll come and get you. It shouldn't take long. Just try to stay out of trouble before then. Okay?" His tone was teasing towards the end as he gave her a knowing look, but in truth, he did want her to be safe while he was gone. In fact, he would have rather had her come with him overall as it was easier to protect her that way. And considering what had happened earlier with the text message and the ringing, he didn't really want to leave her alone. Least of all with Ryan, of all fucking people...
But that's Em for you, he thought as he glanced at the broken-nosed asshole with a somewhat annoyed expression. He knew his sister well enough to guess she wasn't gonna leave until her 'friend' was taken care of, and while it was frustrating, Al needed to find Misha, Andrei, and the others... He wouldn't be fully okay until he did. And none of them were going to get anywhere anyway if they couldn't find a way out of their crumbling school, and going out the window wasn't an option - the upper floor was too high and risky to jump. And the blond was next to useless in this state right now anyway, even if the raven-haired could tolerate him enough to search too.
Which meant he had to find some way to get through all that debris and reach the lower floor by himself. Whistling at Copper to follow him, Al gave his sister one last, reassuring smile, hoping she could understand his feelings through his expression. And--after checking to make sure his phone was tucked securely in his pocket--he opened the door and stepped over the threshold...
[OOC: posting now to make sure it's up before the threads close, but let me know, Juju, if you want to have Ryan's post before this one and I can delete it and repost after yours <3]
