Annabelle will no doubt recognize the cast of the sunlight and the thin dry feel of the air when she and Ellen emerge at last from the reeking Metro tunnels. They're on the opposite side of the Mall from last time, though, and the steps up on this side aren't anywhere near the same- they're rusted, corroded, two-hundred-year-old escalator steps, frozen in place with the weight of time and decay. "I don't hear too much from here," Ellen reports, "but I'm all out of Stealth Boys, so we'd better be careful. There might be mutants."

"A pole, for instance?" Annabelle says with a small smile. "I'm glad you know your way around down here, I'd be lost."

"Yes," Annabelle replies, tilting her head in the direction of the gurgling. She has both her pistols out and pointed in the right direction. "I think we're not going to be alone for much longer."

As soon as the ghouls become visible, Annabelle is firing on two of them, aiming for the spot between the eyes. Generally, things stop moving once their brains are no longer on the inside of their body.

It's not the first time that Annabelle has smelt that particular smell. (Which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view.) It doesn't distract her from the fight, at least.

With the first two ghouls dispatched, Annabelle moves to fire on their two remaining brethren. Unless they're very lucky, they'll meet the same fate.

One could argue that it is never a good day to be a not-very-bright kind of homicidal tunnel-dweller.

"Good shooting," Annabelle says with a smile. "Are you hurt?"

"I don't mind," Annabelle says quietly. She moves to straighten out the bodies of the ghouls into something approaching the appropriate position, at least.

"We'll do the best we can for them," she replies quietly. Admittedly, that's not very much at the moment.

Annabelle keeps watch while Ellen prays, just in case.

Annabelle is definitely going to need to clean up a bit once this trip is over.

"That sounds good to me," she replies with a nod. She'll be playing rearguard when they start moving again.

"Well enough," Annabelle replies. "There's too much cover here for my liking, but there's nothing to be done about that."

Cover gives trouble more places to hide, after all.

"Your armor talks" Annabelle says, blinking in surprise.

"That sounds very useful," Annabelle says with a grin. "Did you know that it could speak when you found it?"

"It still took you by surprise," Annabelle finishes with a small smile.

"Where do we go from here?"

"A good place for an ambush," Annabelle says with a wry grin. "Not that we've got much choice about heading down that way..."
