Does it hit you?
No, a Near Miss
The world seems to slow to a crawl as the flask flies towards you on a perfect path. But then you're jerked away at the last second, the flask brushing past you and into a different crowd. You hear the flask shatter, this time the foul smell is far closer - and stronger. You feel your eyes water as Allegra pulls you through a door, then slams it shut behind you. Jenny is already in the room with only a few other strangers that had trickled in, she looks with concern at the door.
"We need to open it back up, we don't even know what's happening!"
"That's why I shut the door! We're in an emergency here, that means our priority is ourselves!" Allegra shouts back, the strangers backing away as she shakes the papers at Jenny. "And I bet whatever is happening these papers can help explain what's going on."
"I mean, maybe it's just an act?" You suggest. Jenny nods and points while Allegra gives you an exhausted look. "...or maybe not."
"Let's just...find somewhere quiet to read these okay?" She looks back at the entrance. "And let's hope we don't have to go back to your brother's room."
