— beyond fire

jinri couldn't believe their luck; not a soul had bothered them on their way to safety, all being too consumed in their own fear and understandably so--they were trapped indoors with a threat. more than one, if she dared to call her schoolmates such; if she dared to acknowledge herself as so.

(which frankly, she didn't and couldn't)

mai and the girl had managed to weasel their way into an office, leaving them with two simple tasks: barricading the entrance and staying silent.  they could only hope that none of the actual owners of the office would attempt to enter, making their presence known; it was clear that a lot of the choices made in the last few minutes and a lot of the choices to be made were based on a synthesis of hope and bullshit.  c'est la vie--the words couldn't hold so true nor so dark until presented in moments like this the girl thinks, lips tugged into a humourless smirk.  

"let's push this desk in front of the door," the mutant suggests.  the task is one that goes by quickly and for the most part, easily, the main issue being noise.  said issue is solved by the fact that jinri is a bloody mutant--it's funny, how one forgets such things whilst being persecuted for them--that can support the structure with a bit of air.  eyes curve, displaying the smile that was hidden behind her mask; one that now, she could take off.  and so she does, fully thrust into the belief that at least for now, they were safe.

jinri leans against the desk, sliding to the ground and letting out a small, satisfied sigh.  turning to mai, she dons a minute smile and whispers, "it's almost like sleeping over in naeun unni's room.  just less booze."
