AS SOON AS MICHAEL’S STANDING ON HIS OWN TWO FEET AGAIN , RYAN’S LOOKING AROUND FOR POTENTIAL DEFENCES. the house isn’t in an awful state but it certainly isn’t ideal for a midnight hide - out against zombies ( and FAST ones , by the sound of them ). the table is a good start but it definitely won’t last.
“ I’VE GOT IT. ” michael’s ankle isn’t a help either. the itching bite wound in ryan’s arm is an annoyance // but at least will fade to a nasty bruise rather than sending BLACK TENDRILS curling down his arm. it’s sore , sure , but he ignores it and takes the table from michael , pushes it against the door , right under the handle.
HE HISSES OUT A SOMEWHAT PANICKED NOISE as pounding footsteps run around the edge of the house AND NOW FIND THE DOOR. wood shuddering just the other side of ryan’s hands ( makes him JUMP backwards quicker than he would like ). head turns to the fridge —— it’s not that far from the front door but it’s a THICK , dated thing that would definitely take both their effort. and he’s not sure if they have time. but there aren’t many other options so ryan moves over quick as he can. “ alright ; let’s try it. grab the other side , quick ! ”
HE DIDN’T THINK HE'D BE ABLE TO MOVE ALL THAT FAST, BUT THE SOUND OF THE DEAD CLAWING ON THE DOOR MAKES HIS ADRENALINE TAKE OVER. through his fear and pain he manages to force himself to the fridge. it's hard to get a grip, but this is too important for him to even think about slacking off. if they don't do this they may not make it to the morning.
ANGER IS CHANNELED INTO PUSHING. it helps, though he isn’t quite as angry as he had been earlier. far more panicked than angry at this point, though the pair tend to swirl together and AMPLIFY THEMSELVES within him. right now, though, he doesn't have the time to do that. any second of wasted time is one second closer to them ripping open the door and tearing the pair apart. his emotions are not what's important.
“ THEY KNOW WE'RE IN HERE. ” which means that blocking the door may prove useless. just cause they cant get in the door doesn't mean they can't get in. michael hopes they give up once they cant get through the door, but he has his worries that it won't be the case. trapped in the middle of a horde of unknown size, the odds don’t seem to matter in that moment; if they ignore the odds of death then they might just avoid that fate.

HE TRIES HIS HARDEST NOT TO LET GEOFF’S SHRIEKING GET TO HIM. luckily it’s something he’s pretty much mastered —— otherwise they’d hardly get through any situation without flinging themselves into RED ALERT LEVEL PANIC !! ryan’s learnt to sort of drown it out into background noise. can generally tell when it’s something GENUINELY important.
AND NOW IS NOT ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. so ryan only rolls his eyes at the ( entirely INACCURATE ! ) impression // is glad when geoff does shuffle over to somewhere a little SAFER beside him. “ yeah ? ” he leans forwards a little to glance down the hole and at the nearby stairway. sure , he sees the logic of geoff’s idea … but neither the rotting , threadbare remainder of the stairs NOR the possibility of more undead lurking anywhere down them are appealing concepts. “ you reckon the stairs’ll take us ? you didn’t seem too KEEN on falling a sec’ ago. ” he looks to geoff now , knowing what he says isn’t particularly useful. because they don’t have a great deal of options. maybe he’s just trying to delay it.
THERE’S A MORBID CURIOSITY ABOUT HOW MANY FLOORS UP THEY EXACTLY ARE. AND HOW MANY DOWN THERE MIGHT BE TO FALL. for all the times they’ve been to this town —— all the raids they’ve made inside this hotel even , ryan can’t say he’s ever bothered to COUNT. he tries to push the thought from his mind ( as well as a few gruesome images of their two SHATTERED FORMS down in the darkness ). “ alright. it’s a good idea. but let’s just … go slowly , ‘kay ? ”
AT THIS POINT THEY DON’T HAVE ANY OTHER PLANS, NOTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A GOOD IDEA AT LEAST. either they climb or they fall, but either way they’re gonna end up downstairs. they just need to find a way to get themselves there without getting themselves torn to shreds or impaled on something. so long as they can make it through the night everything will be okay.
AND IF EVERYTHING’S NOT OKAY, EVERYTHING WILL AT LEAST STILL BE GOING. they’d still be alive, and maybe that’s the only thing they can hope for. nothing else is all that possible these days, geoff’s long given up the thought that life could once again be a normal civilization. they had each other, and they had good ol’ trader joe, but a life like before would never be possible again. he can build and farm all he wants, the truth is that this is their lives now.
THEY’VE ONLY GOT ONE SHOT WITH THE STAIRS. no second chance if they break. slow and steady, they don’t have much of a choice. “ slow and steady, we can handle some old stairs. ” but can the old stairs handle them ? there was only one way to find out.
