[ With the scarcity of things to eat these days, it's no wonder there's such a crowd at the freshly-stocked Food Court. As designated dinner-bearer for the night, Aqua's waiting patiently in line to order to-go for her family... but it seems the promise of a hot meal is too good to be true.
The sudden disturbance makes waves of the queue she's in, and she's jostled roughly to the side by a hangry mother of five. Several blinks later it's pure chaos, order receipts littering the ground like forgotten confetti as people shove and claw and scream their way towards the back kitchen of the small stand.
She notices one of the recruits wilted on the ground, staring tragically at an upended burger while a throng of infected begin to creep up behind her like midday shadows crossing a garden. Aqua distractedly pushes away a sick janitor that comes dangerously close to gnawing on her arm, and barrels through the crowd toward Maya. ]
We have to go.
[ There's no time to wait for her to get to her feet, and so Aqua whisks her clean off the ground in a princess carry, using just a breath of inconspicuous magic to push back the throng surrounding them. (Hang on tight...) ]
