[d&d] The Fall Of A City [8/8]

I imagine Daniel follows @Nem

 

The streets are empty, lights are on in nearby apartments, penthouses, hotels, etc.
(Since I assume Daniel is with you)
@Paradoxical @Enhanced_Human

Spoiler: Tony, Daniel

You hear Tony's phone ringing. The sound of a distant helicopter can be heard.

 

I answer my phone, holding it to my ear and letting the person on the other end speak first.

 

You recognize "Pinky's" voice on the other end.
"Hi.. don't get mad at me.. but I exited the bunker to sit down in the restaurant for a bit and saw a helicopter headed in the direction you guys are going."

 

"Yeah. I see it too."
Is it about after curfew by now?

 

Yes, the streets are empty for a reason.
"Just stay alert. Keep me on the line if you want, I can try to provide intel from here."

 

"Please, do."
I stop making my way to the monorail, just instead making the trek to my place.

Are helicopters usually used for people after curfew?

 

Yes, but not very often.

You stop travelling West and go East instead, right?

 

Yeah. Monorail's going to be too obvious.

 

It runs automatically, so it's not suspicious to see it in the middle of the night.

 

Oh, my mistake. Nevermind, then, I keep going towards it.

 

The noise of the helicopter grows louder.
You're in Sayon now. You see two really tall buildings with monorail stations on the first few floors. Not very many lights are on in the building except for the monorail station lights.

 

I stick to the fog as much as I can, making my way towards the monorail.

 

You arrive at the monorail stations and the only two buildings in this half of the district. There's one train currently at the station.

The noise of the helicopter grows even closer.

 

Is there anywhere to hide that's not on the monorail?

 

There's restrooms, a small food court, stairwells that lead up to the penthouses/apartments, etc.

(Imagine it like a very, very small airport mixed with a train station and it has residential areas on top.

 

Do I know if the monorail will leave soon?

 

There's an illuminated sign with details:
STATION I, MONO II DEPARTURE: 10 MINUTES
STATION II, MONO II DEPARTURE: 13 MINUTES

 

I take out a copper coin and cast Light on it, then find whatever 'station II, mono II' is and throw the coin far into there.
From there, I hurriedly make my way into the restrooms, beckoning Daniel to follow.
"I'm making a bit of a detour, sorry for the wait."
I say into my phone.

 

I’ll follow Kazuki to his place.
