[Dani]

Dani had just dropped off a package containing an expensive bottle of wine to a tavern in the midst of the town and was now wondering rather aimlessly about town trying to find somewhere that was still open at this hour and had a room to spare. This wouldn't have been a problem if she had arrived earlier like she was suppossed to, but unfortunately for her a bridge had collapsed further out into the countryside so she had to take the long way round. Now her legs were aching and she was so tired that she was almost walking in a zombie like state.

"Stuff that, I've had enough!", she shouted to no one in particular whilst promptly sitting down where she stood. A decision that she instantly regretted as the stone path was cold and her jeans didn't do much to stop her from feeling it. She stood bolt upright while shouting again "DAMNIT!!!". She scratched the back of her head, sighed in defeat, and continued walking.

She was on the verge of starting a fight with a barrel in frustration when a piercing wail caught her ear, making her flinch and cover them with her hands. Unfortunately for her the noise would'nt let up, continuously screeching from deeper in the town. After a few more seconds she had become slightly more used to it and returned to standing properly, her hands dropping back down to her sides. She figured it was a warning siren of some sort, but for what she didn't know as this was the first time she had visited this town. Whatever it was for, she wasn't going to get any rest if it continued so she decided to head further into town to investigate, rejuvinated by a sudden burst of adrenaline from the noise.

She set off at a quick jog and soon found the Monolith, towering over the local buildings. She had assumed it was some sort of fancy palace from a distance when she first entered the town, but as she got closer, the imposing nature of the structure suggested otherwise. For a moment she paused, slightly daunted by it all, especially with the siren still sounding but it was even louder now that she was closer. Lights had come on in the local buildings, its occupants wondering just what the heck was going on. Some shouting, followed by the sounds of a scuffle came from her left. She turned to see a shape being tossed back a few hundred yards in the distance, her stong senses penetrating the dark. It wasn't exactly the safest of options but if people were about she could find out what was going on so she set off at a faster pace than before.

Soon Dani found herself in a much wider street, a handful of bodies on the floor, poorly dressed like prisoners by the looks of things. The pieces of the puzzle started to fit as she realised just what was going on and what the Monolith was for. She scowled to herself and clenched her fists. She wasn't the forgiving kind, so ex-prisoners were not on her friends list. By the level of noise, things were not going well and Dani decided to at least try and help keep things under control so civilians wouldn't get hurt. She spotted someone further up the street, heading towards the Monolith. She doubted very much that any prisoners would want to go back in so ran to catch up with him, jumping over one the bodies instead of going round it.

"Hey, you! Whats the deal around here? Can't this joint keep all the undesirables in one place or somethin'?"
