Cube: Huh...? o__o *Whirls around and quickly follows Combo back up the slide*

Combo: *Crosses the open area, heading to a long stairway down to the "half-tube"* See, Beat's probably at the bus terminal by now... This is a safer way there, probably. Less out-in-the-open. ;D Forgot about it for a sec... *Shrug* We're not from around here; cut me some slack OK? -w-; *Starts bumping down the stairs*

Cube: *Follows Combo down to the "half-tube"* Right... This place. ;3 ... *Laughs a bit* Hah; don't sweat it. xD

*By the time the cops make it back onto the ledge, Combo and Cube are nowhere to be seen* D< *They leave the area, going to meet back up with Onishima*

Combo: *Once he finally reaches the bottom of the stairs, goes left, into a tube tunnel* This is a MUCH safer route than the road past that crowded plaza. -w-;

Cube: *Rolls alongside Combo, following him into the tube tunnel* Word. -v-; ... *Glances over at Gum for a moment* How's Gum holdin' up, ya think?

Combo: Man, I dunno... *Glances down at her head, resting against his shoulder as he carries her* It looks like she's out cold right now... Poor kid. :/ What do you think happened?

Cube: No clue... She seemed just fine a while ago. o__o I mean, I'd guess it was Poison Jam, but I could've swore none of 'em were really around her at that point... :/ Maybe I was just too busy with what I was doin', but I dunno... It's still kinda strange either way.

Combo: Yeah... :/ It's like she just suddenly went and fell down on the spot. Whatever happened, it sure got her cryin' her eyes out... She'd have to be hurt preeeeeetty bad to cry like that, I think... But I just can't tell what's wrong, and she didn't tell us anything. Dx

Cube: Hmm... :/ *Once again looks at Gum, a worried and puzzled expression on her face* Maybe once we get her back to the garage, she'll be more comfortable with tellin' us...?

Combo: Yeah, hopefully. :/ I just hope she doesn't end up tryin' to pretend like she's fine if she's actually seriously hurt. You know how she gets when people go actin' concerned about her... *Sigh* *Exits the tunnel and starts heading for the narrow stairs just ahead*

Cube: Yeaaah... :/ That sure wouldn't help. *Follows Combo out of the tunnel and makes her way to the stairs*

(*At the bus terminal*)

*CHAOS IS HAPPENING*

Onishima: *Is COVERED in graffiti of all kinds* *Raging* RAAAAAAAASDFGHJKL;KL;AS'AS;KL;!!1!!1!!!11!! DDD8<<

*Poison Jam are in the area*
*Two of them are hopping across the roofs of the shelter structures, being chased*
Garam: *Is chasing them* >B-D

*Another one is trying to cover the graffiti that Beat sprayed on the large video screen earlier*
Beat: *Pushes him out of the way* I don't THINK so! >J *Paints over whichever parts need it* *Suddenly gets pushed aside by the Poison Jam* D<;
*This cycle keeps repeating*

*There are swarms of police running EVERYWHERE*

Combo: *Ascends the stairs, off to the side* *Sees this* o_________o; Wellllllll... Ain't this a busy scene?

Yoyo: *Is chasing the same two members of Poison Jam as Garam* >B-3

Mew: *Zooms around all over the place, avoiding the police* ;D

Cube: *Also sees* o__o; Whoa... Sure is.

Combo: *Wonders how to safely go about this while carrying Gum* ... ... ... Um. o____o Well... Our priority is to let Beat know about Gum, right? Let's just... help him out over there. It shouldn't be hard to drive that guy off if we all gang up on him. *Starts heading to the truck* Come on; let's get up there before the cops know we're here...!

Cube: *Serious nod* Right. *Quickly rolls to the truck, grinds up and hops onto the overhang* *Makes her way closer to Beat* *Subtly waves her hand to catch his attention* Yo; Beat...!

Beat: o.o! *Looks over at Cube* Yo! Just in time! >:D
Combo: *Hops onto the overhang after Cube* *Was particularly careful about getting up here, definitely not wanting to fall right now*
Beat: *Sees Combo carrying Gum* O_O; Wha-... Gum?! Is she alright...?! ... *Realizes that now probably isn't a safe time to talk about it* *Returns his attention to the Poison Jam, now filled with extra determination* DDD< Get--*RAMS into him*--OUTTA HERE!! *Instantly starts painting as quickly as possible*
PJ: *Is shoved aside an impressive distance* GRR!! DD8<

Cube: *Leaps onto the same part of the overhang as Beat* *Stands her ground and gives the Poison Jam a glare* 3<

Combo: *Hops over after Cube* *Stands tall, looking the Poison Jam right in the eye* J<
PJ: *Realizes that he's now outnumbered here* o__e; Grrrrr...! *Hops down*
Beat: *Finishes restoring his own graffiti* >:D Haha, there! *Turns to face Cube and Combo* Thanks, guys; you just BEING there tipped that right in my favor! ... *Gaze drifts to Gum again* *Concerned expression* o_ò; *Rolls up to Combo for a closer look* ... *Tries to see if Gum will respond if he speaks* Hey, Gum...?
Gum: *Is unconscious* *Doesn't respond* <_>
Beat: ... Nothing. o.ò;; *Rolls back a bit* What happened, guys...? D: Is she OK...?

Cube: Hah, no problem. ;3 ... *Watches as Beat tries to get a response from Gum, to no avail* *Turns to face him when he rolls back* We have no idea what's up with her... D: We were just coverin' up some Poison Jam tags when we heard her call out all of a sudden... When we came to check up on her though, we couldn't tell what was wrong.

Combo: Yeeeaahh... We tried to ask her what happened, but she was cryin' so hard, she couldn't tell us a thing. 3: She looked all groggy, too, and, well... *Motions to the unconscious Gum* ... Sometime while I was carryin' her, this happened.
Beat: *Extremely concerned* Nnnngh... DDD: I hope she's not sick or something... We have to get her back to the Garage. Right now. *Rolls to the edge and calls to everybody with a very serious tone* Everyone! We're getting out of here!

Garam: *Suddenly stops mid-chase and looks at Beat* Whaaa-... But man, what about these chumps?! B-0

Beat: *Stern tone* They can wait; this is serious! D< *Jumps down and rushes to the way back* Everyone, back to the Garage! Now!
Combo: *Goes with him, making sure not to be left too far behind*

Yoyo: *Freezes and also looks at Beat* *Is caught somewhat off-guard by the sudden increase of seriousness in his tone* OK, OK...! O__O We're comin'! *Zooms after him*
Mew: *Is surprised and worried* 'Kay...! O-o; *Quickly follows*
Cube: *Closely follows Beat and Combo*

Garam: *Is surprised by the sheer seriousness in Beat's voice* O_O; ... OK, man...! *Quickly follows*

(Back at the Garage)

Beat: *Hops in through the window, standing aside so Combo and Gum can get in easily*
Combo: *Carefully steps in, then slowly makes his way to the bench to set Gum down*

Cube: *Climbs in after Combo is safely inside with Gum*
*Mew and Yoyo hop inside after Cube*
Tab: *Sees them returning* Heyyy...! ;D How'd things go out there?-... *Notices Gum* O__O;? Whoa...! You alright, Gum??

Garam: *Comes in at the same time as Yoyo*
Piranha: *Was facing the sound system, doing something* *Looks back over her shoulder* Ehh? o-o
Gum: *Doesn't respond to Tab* <_>
Combo: *Carefully sets Gum down on the bench in a lying position* There ya go. 3; ... *Briefly, gently touches the back of his hand to her forehead, checking her temperature* *Doesn't feel anything out-of-the ordinary* ... Hmm... :/ *Stands by the wall, next to the bench, keeping an eye on her*
Beat: Hey, Tab. Apparently, something's up with Gum, but... we don't know what. o_ò;

Tab: Hmm. o__o; *Takes a few steps closer to the bench and concernedly glances at Gum* Weird... Hope she's alright...
Slate: *Emerges from elsewhere in the Garage, having heard the discussion* *Looks to where Gum is with a serious, worried expression* ?
