The cat quickly darted away from the Flame Wheel, and darted out as fast as he can, not caring who's following.
If Eliot pushes as hard as he can, he might make it...
Long live the New Bev."I'm not letting you escape again!" Dana tries to grab on to him as he pushes her down. She digs her claws in so it might hurt, but her grip isn't particularly strong.. In addition to that, while she manages to avoid the Ember, the Combees surround her and start harassing her.
It begins to snow, though that hardly matters now.
we will survive.[Oh, shit, not even Niles got him! I keep running after the guy; I can't give up! Come on: track star! You ran a 400 in 54 seconds! I don't care if he's a fucking cat, GO GET HIM!!]
[I try and match speed with Niles, now that he's running, too. Maybe I can assist him with this, or he me. We still gotta get him, we can't let him escape!]

(Reaching the hospital, I'm stopped by the Clefairy doctor from before before I can get inside.)
Whoa there, sir, slow down, we have patients being brought in. One is in critical condition.
I...I'm sorry, it's just that I think it's someone I know. (I wheeze.)
I understand, but we don't need anybody who isn't a doctor coming close to her. I'm sorry, sir. Feel free to wait in the lobby once we get her in.
(I nod and sit down. I'm just stunned by what just happened. It was a she? I know it wasn't Cyk, last I saw, she was right behind me. Was it Mila? Was it Finley? Dana? It would be absolutely terrible if it were either of them.)
(Marsha and Delilah arrive along with the gaggle of confused beach-goers. Benji is also among them.)
What is it, Goobert? (Marsha asks.)
(I don't respond, instead simply burying my face in my hands, not crying, but just feeling hopeless all around.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."You'll need to be more specific. Where are you, right now? Do you need a recap?
Despite the scratches from Dana, he seems to continue with ease.
"Dammit! I know you're following, just give in!"
Suddenly he turns around, lunging at Eliot specifically.
Long live the New Bev.

Welcome! We're kind of in a frantic mess right now, but one of our characters are bound to greet your Umbreon.
*the Blissey exclaims, as the first responders get near the hospital* She's still breathing! Poor thing...we'll get you the help you need!
*the Blissey notices the kerfuffle as the Delcatty, Eliot, and Niles ran pretty damn quickly in their direction* Hey! Someone could get hurt! *Thomas the Blastoise stops and turns at the group, but is afraid to get involved, lest he end up hurting someone*
*they enter the hospital, and the staff starts tending to Finley, though Thomas remains outside, watching the goings on*

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.[Hearing Niles address me, I start to feel a little more lucid than before. How could he have—oh, shit—]
[I can feel the guy's claws dig into me. It's not an unfamiliar feeling: I had two cats back at home, it's something you get used to, even if it hurts... Oh, it hurts...]
[I'm knocked to the ground and let out a pained scream: my focus shifts back to him and him alone.]

Quickly, the cat grabs onto Eliot and holds him in front of himself. Eliot being only about an inch taller, it's not much trouble in his incapacitated form, leaving Niles free... to hit Eliot again.
Long live the New Bev.[Drawing on all I can, I try and grab him, but being pulled back into the air does a good deal to disorient—] "UUF!"
[I can feel the air escape my lungs as something nails me right in the back. I get that lucid feeling once again...I feel more...aware. In this brief moment, I stare into the cat's eyes.]

"... Useless..."
Without another word, the cat pushes him onto Niles and keeps running.
Long live the New Bev.

[I turn around the corner: wait, he's running away! Seeing the others are here, I survey the area to see if anyone else was injured as badly as Finley, breathing a sigh of relief that everyone's still up and kicking. That's good: now I can focus everything on getting him! I run towards the escaping cat, busting into a full-on sprint as I try and catch up with him and Niles.]
