One instant the ground was correctly horizontal and then the ground suddenly changed angle under his feet. (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/savedacitydesu/4969.html?thread=193385#t193385)
Akito had that very brief sensation of a short, missed step...and then a sudden drop that did more than leave his stomach behind.
As appropriate a time as this would've been to swear for once, Akito only managed a surprised, instinctive yelp before the back of his head hit the floor as he hit the impromptu slide on the way down, down down-
He briefly saw a figure that disappeared too fast to make much out. He saw a lot less he hit the basement floor with a loud 'OMPH' that sent his glasses off his face. Akito groaned, instinctively feeling for them (and missing them), "A-Araragi-san-" oh yes, he was would repay this one day,"-are you alright-"
But as bad as Akito's sight was without his glasses, he could still make out figures, even if not the details beyond blurs. He straightened, a mask of collection instantly snapping into place, and looked at them with unfocused eyes. He muttered the safe thing, "Not alone indeed..."
As he said that though, there was an instinctive panic. They looked humanoid but were they 'human' or like the 'rodent'?
