status: deceased
active threads status: dropping, up for hc'ing things
//coming back from his house with Zach ( @rioreeve ), Skyler finds an orange kitten and thinks it's a brilliant idea for a gift for Ember ( @emberwexley ). they make an extra stop at a pet store to get some food for the kitten. once they're back, Skyler gives Ember the cat and suggests she should name him Copper.
Skyler tries to be as useful during the run as possible; he keeps a walkie talkie to stay in contact with the groups, making sure they can react fast if anything happens. when he learns that Charlie ( @pxtitxrosx ) and Val (@valeriixchen ) are in danger, he immediately makes a decision to go there to help them. he carefully makes his way through the claustrophobic tunnel in the rubble and reaches the girls. they are alive and well but trapped, with Val's arm stuck so badly she has to make a difficult situation to get free. Skyler tries to comfort them and provides the necessary medical equipment to prevent additional blood loss. he also starts working on getting them out of the trap as quickly as possible.
he instructs Charlie and Val to go first, knowing the latter will need even more help with her arm once they're outside and that every second matters. they start crawling back and, despite Skyler's best efforts to secure the tunnel and make their way back safe, it still collapses before he makes it to the surface. he dies instantly, crushed by the rubble.
