Snow looked out from her window of her apartment building from inside the Dojo.
"As Buck said. 'Crap'. Can't go a full week without an invading army..." she said, sighing as she watched the chaos, a hand on her slightly enlarged belly.
"Nowhere I go is safe, now is it?.." she asked no one in particular, closing the curtains as she packed a go-bag with her belongings.

[i]Meanwhile[/i]
Mari was back to hiding in her basement, a large blanket wrapped tight around her as she screamed as an explosion shook the area. She sobbed, crying in fear. The little six year old would never be the same after what happened to Kari. What made it worse for her was that she relived that terrible night anytime she was reminded of the first invasion where most of her family was burned to death in their home out in the woods. Soonafter they got to the Dojo, someone came after her and Kari, deciding it'd be fun to try killing them for sport. Now, Mari was back to shaking, crying as she hid under the blanket wrapped so tight around her.

*He opens the door and raises his solar pulse rifle as his eyes glow blue, preparing to catch any bullets that are headed their way.* -- [u]Sapphire continues what she's doing, seeing that it's helping to calm Mari.[/u]

Snow heard a knock on her door. "Q! LEMME IN!" It was Alpha, panicked.
-
Snow quickly went over to the door, opened it, tossed Alpha onto the couch gently and slammed the door shut. There was a grown grizzly bear cowering in the corner. Must've been Vorim's. "Alex thank God you're safe, is everyone else okay?"
-
"The ship's bigger than dojoville, it's fine. I came to check on you and hopefully get you to the ship, it's not safe for you or your kid."
-
"Me and Vorim, and the bear over there, are headed somewhere safe, you don't need to worry. But you didn't answer my question.."
-
"Everyone in the ship is fine.....but....I passed by a lot of bodies."
-
Snow sighed, her hand clenching into a fist. "Can't have one day where some stupid idiots think itll be fun to go around slaughtering everyone..."
-
"Snow, please calm down"
-
She takes a few moments to breathe, her fist unclenching. "Its sick..all of it..." she said with a sniffle, talking about the ridiculous "invasions" that have been happening.
-
"Look, I'll help you to wherever you're headed"
-
Snow was going to decline Alex's offer but then stopped. "Thank you, Alex, but we aren't leaving just yet."
-
"Okay. But I'm not taking no for an answer"
-
Snow peeked through the window. "That's why I didn't say no...Did you pass anyone alive on the way here?"
