Noctium TDM Overflow

[ Alex can run, and she can do so in heels, but thankfully the guild had lent her some boots because her usual shoes sure as hell weren’t made for booking it like this. Her knees are banged up and bloodied from how often she’s fallen over, though the bandages on her face were clearly placed prior to arriving here. It can’t be helped though, since every time she tries to move, she ends up running a lot faster than intended. At this moment, she might be charging right at you screaming for you to — ]
PLEASE MOVE!
[ Or maybe you see the odd woman frozen on all fours on the ground as she looks up at you pitifully. ]
Could...you give me a hand, please?
1-1
[ Still in a daze from everything, she follows the flow of people until she reaches the cafeteria. The pain she had felt was undeniably real, but her mind couldn’t wrap itself around everything going on around her. The GemSci were kind enough to change the bandages on her face and offer her the chance to clean up (though she insists on using her own clothes still), but Alex remained on edge. Tray of odd looking food in hand, she’s stiff as she approaches you at your table from behind. ]
Excuse me...is...is it okay if I sit here too? I won’t take long.

a) Alex wasn’t sure what was more shocking, that she was in a new world with gem people and futuristic technology, or that the government actually gave stipends to people. She turns to someone nearby who she recognizes from the sky station, assuming they received the same offer. ]
Do...you think it’s a scam? Would we need to pay them back with interest? Or would they order us to do something dangerous...?
[ If there was anything Alex had learned from Ergastulum, it was that there were always strings attached. ]
b) They even provided them with devices that Alex had never held before. Sure cellphones were a thing in Ergastulum, but she’d never used one herself. Tapping at pretty much everything, she selects the camera option, gasping as she takes a random shot of someone’s foot. Wanting to try again, she holds it up and uses it to scan around crowd until she finds a suitable target. She takes one shot after another, fighting with how blurry they always come out, the sounds of snapshots might catch your attention, or maybe the flash that suddenly goes off in your face when she gets too close. ]

By the time they can see figures on the horizon, she's been staring at it for so long that she's pretty sure the new things aren't just her imagination, but Alex's breathless remark gets her to focus on her for a moment, bracing her shoulder for extra support.]
I've never given up on anything in my life. [Her voice is starting to rasp, but she manages to avoid sounding too out of breath.] It looks like there are people coming, so let's see what they want first.
[They're definitely better protected from the elements, from what Kanade can see, so maybe this is a rescue. Maybe they were actually expected. But they won't know until they reach the group, so Kanade tries to keep them moving as long as possible until the unfamiliar faces meet up with them.]
