Unicorn and the Raven/wait to see what happens next
From Create Your Own Story
The rest of the night is relatively uneventful. You see the flashes of light but try not to look, lest you once again behold the nightmare scene unfolding outside the hopefully thick glass. Its quiet like a library, like a tomb. Sometimes the woman in the chair asks a question and Jensen, the man at the map table would answer, or sometimes it would be someone else. Her voice is calm and soft and sounds as if she's half asleep but there's no other sound. From time to time the room shakes and trembles but there's no actual sound. In that silence, from time to time, you think you hear chittering from outside, on the other side of the door. You're glad you stayed here instead of making a run for it.
The flashes of light from outside don't come as often now, and finally she orders them to cease fire and seal the towers, whatever that means. Hudson, the man in the very back of the room apparently relays the message with his equipment and then the lights taper off to nothing and its pitch black outside. The dark frightens you as much as the inability to see the horde of nightmare creatures calms your nerves. You don't know how it is that Jensen can stay so close to the glass, to the horribly open front of the room.
The night passes.
You try to stay quiet, to stay out of everybody's way, but that isn't all that hard. Nobody except Jensen moves around very much and the woman in the chair seems to have fallen asleep. Its cold and there's a kind of infectious hopelessness in the air. Its like a night where you don't know if the sun will ever rise again. It eats at you. The cold uncertianty, and the boredom as well. It feels like you have ants under your skin.
