Snippet #2694080

As Miura watched Daichi play a bit with the puppet before throwing it to the ground, Miura was almost ready to pick it up and place it back where it had belonged. However, before the innocent girl could do that, the puppet rose up to become a scary monster with limbs, lanterns and three faces roared at the two. Miura almost couldn't scream as small but terrified noises escaped the girl.
"Stay behind me, Miu!"
Miura felt herself get pulled back by Daichi and she looked over. Was he trying to protect her?
"Dai-kun... Be careful..."
Her voice came out, shaky and meek. Her worries were slightly eased as Isshiki threw a rock... only for the worries to skyrocket into fear when the thing effortlessly dodged the rock. Tears were rolling down her cheeks when she suddenly heard Daichi speak again before hoisting her underneath his arm and running. It at least surprised her fear away temporarily before she just let herself be carried, going a bit into shock from the horror. This was not Miura's idea of a fun time when Nighttime hit. She wondered where Shirley was and when she saw Shirley sitting on top of the merry-go-round, Miura hadn't gotten full control of her voice back yet so she was just gesturing with her hands for Shirley to follow the three of them and get to safety. However, she didn't think the woman saw her and felt like an idiot for not trying hard enough. As they ran from the screaming monster, Miura soon noticed a man calling out and showing them how to get inside a dwelling of sorts.
"Isshiki! Dai-kun! Look! Someone's showing us how to get inside!!"

Kaede nodded slowly at Kyosuke under his request to keep an eye out in case they were a threat to their survival. She drew her sword out of its holder and stared at the three people as they descended down inside with Kyosuke. She decided to survey them individually. The first was a spiky haired man clutching a baseball bat as if his life depended on it. His eyes looked wild and desperate, almost as if he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Kaede judged him to be the biggest threat almost instantly. She glanced over at the other man. He had light brown hair and wore a track uniform of sorts. Clutching onto the only girl aside from herself, Kaede assumed the two were dating right out of the gate. He seemed to be a complete moron to her, just another unlucky person in an unlucky environment. The last one was the only girl. Pink hair, blue eyes, pink clothes; Kaede felt rather envious on how feminine and pretty this girl was. No one would bat an eye in her general direction so someone like her must have been getting admirers almost all the time. She decided the girl was innocent as well, given that the girl was still crying from her experiences. Kaede frowned a little as she pointed the end of the sword at the spiky haired man before moving it towards them all.
"If you're thinking of trying anything stupid like attacking us, know that I'll slice you to bits and leave your carcass to the monsters outside."
Did it sound crazy? A little bit, but with how unstable that spiky haired man looked, Kaede felt she should get the warning out first before trying to judge these people.
"Now then, one at a time. Who are you, how did you get here, what supplies do you have and why should we trust you?"
