An uneven pounding pierced through the silence of the kindergarten, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing. A blue gem suddenly popped from around a corner, sliding as he rounded the turn and continuing his sprint. He stumbled forward a few feet before regaining his balance, and with a fearful eye, he turned his head to check his rear. As if cued by an unseen director, more beings slid out from the cover, scrambling over each other to chase Indicolite. It would probably be a stretch to even call the beings 'beasts' as they were nothing more than brown quadrupedal masses with an openings that held rows of teeth. It was clear they weren't native creatures of Earth, but rather corrupted gems, marked by their pure black gemstone that was only slightly above their 'mouths'.
Indicolite snapped his head back to original position as he narrowly avoided running into the leg of an injector by jumping to the right. He of course didn't stop his running, but he lost some speed from his last evasive maneuver. A tight squeeze was coming up, and a half destroyed injector barred the way. Indy knew he wasn't going to fight off the corrupted gems, so he braced himself and threw himself forward, rolling sideways underneath the injector. As soon as he felt that he had passed, Indy popped up again and continued his escape. The blue gem's hand rose to his face unconsciously as he felt a new cut that had appeared and he once again he turned his head to check his pursuers' progress. For a moment, hope fluttered in Indy's chest as he saw that none of the beasts were coming from beneath the injector. The hope quickly died, however, when 9 of the corrupted gems leaped over the injector and continued their chase. Indy grumbled to himself as he quickly remembered the path back to the warp pad and began making his way towards it, hoping that he could either escape, or perhaps help would arrive.
((Posting order is the order in which people joined, regardless of where a person's entry post happens to be. Errr hopefully that wasn't too poorly worded. Also I feel that 48 hours is sufficient enough time to reply, so if you don't reply within this time frame, your turn will be skipped. I hope this time limit doesn't pressure anyone, but it's to prevent the thread from going stale.))
