THE WALKING DEAD: Cataclysm

[Akashi]

Hayley Frost
Location: Streets of L.A. >> Abandoned Firehouse
Interacted: @B l u E s
​

The situation got out of hand, which it was at all times. With the dead roaming the streets, and closing in on both Hayley and the stranger, the latter stood up, seemingly good enough to be able to walk and run on his own. The brunette looked around her and was eager to get the hell out of there.

The stranger grabbed her hand and told her to run. Hayley couldn't have agreed more, as she simply nodded and instinctively ran behind him until they were far enough from the dead. This really felt like deja vu. But, it was a temporary solution, but they were still outside, on the streets. The rain was not letting up, and by now Hayley was pretty much drenched, just like the stranger before him. The new stranger told her to follow suite, and judging by his expression, it was probably to find a place to hole up in until the rain was done.

However, to wherever they ran to, there was a fire station there. The garage doors were closed. Hayley was standing behind the stranger, confused and nervous. She couldn't help but notice the bruises on his body from the fall earlier. If anything, they were more or less like a burn injury. On his hands, and his arms.

Once they finally got inside, it was surprisingly quiet. Fire trucks were inside, and the place seemed abandoned. The man before her quickly removed his yellow coat, while Hayley walked up next to one of the windows to look outside. Breathing heavily for a moment or two, she turned around, before she ended up doin the same. Running her fingers through her wet hair, the brunette took of her short sleeved cardigan and placed it on one of the truck mirrors.

Hayley really needed to get out of her wet clothes. Though her attention was quickly swooped up by the stranger when he spoke up, talking about the unfortunate encounter they had with one another. "Yeah, that was a close one. It would have been much worse if you'd have crashed into me. Fortunately, I was able to notice you before that happened.." Somewhat annoyed by how things were panning out for her, she was not done speaking.

"I mean, you should keep your eyes on the road, really.." Hayley was curious as to what exactly distracted the man or how he didn't notice her. A moment passed and she clearly noticed that his injuries needed to be tended. They were inside a firehouse, so there had to be some sort of medical supplies there.

"We should take a look around. See if there is something we can find to.." The woman nodded towards the stranger. "Take care of your injuries." Hayley still felt somewhat guilty for what had happened, if anything she'd help tend his injuries before splitting up. The woman did not really have a reason to stay with the man, and most of it was thanks to Clyde.

Walking to the other side of the big garage, there was a door the lead deeper inside the fire house. The woman slowly opened the door up and kept her head behind while peeking through with her eyes. Hayley knocked on the door once or twice to see if there were any walkers around. If they'd jump at her like they did Jackson back in the apartment building.

"Come on.." She turned to her side, looking at the stranger. Once she walked inside, there was a kitchen. Though the entire place was a mess. Tables and chairs were all over the place. There was even some blood on the floor. Doors were knocked down, or broken. It was almost as if the entire place was looted. Things were not looking well for them.

Her hands were on her hip, as she pondered at the situation before her. There wa a map of the firehouse loosely hanging on the wall. "Let's take a look..." She curiously added, her brown eyes squinting ever so slightly. Walking up to it, she was able to notice that there were beds in a hall, showers, lockers and so on etc.

Hayley could really use a shower. Perhaps the water was still working. Turning around, her gaze was on Edwyn. "At least they got showers here." A slightly but serious expression was plastered on her face, before she walked over and around the kitchen counter.

"I need a change of clothes.. I could really use a shower!..." Hayley was definetely going to check out the showers later on.

It was more like a cafeteria connected to the kitchen. Almost all of the food was gone, but that wasn't exactly what she was looking for. She wanted to find medical supplies. To disinfect his injuries. To numb his pain, so he was good to go sooner, rather than later.

She found a small bag with bandages, a small scissor, and a white towel. 'Hmm, this could work..' The brunette thought to herself.

"Hey!" She slightly exclaimed, so her voice could reach the stranger. Walking back past the counter, she approached the man standing infront of her. "You need to put some cold water on your hands. Follow me, I can help tend to your injuries. I could at the very least do that."

Hayley was indirectly talking about the crash and his unfortunate landing. The stranger may have been confused by her nature all of a sudden, or her personality, though Hayley was just as much confused as to why she was going to such lengths for someone she just met. His injuries were even small. They were only first-degree burns.

The young brunette pulled a chair next to the water faucet in the kitchen. "Come on, take a seat."

INTERACTION: Ayu with Vixen @Justinaholic​

Ayu readjusted her sheaths to make sure she had easy access to them if needed. She also fastened her small holster bag that various misc items she thought were useful to her. Ayu walked at a normal pace, taking care in really wet places. Although she didn't see any dead ones around, didn't mean they weren't there. The young woman walked a pretty much straight path, not too close to the middle and not too close to hallways and doors.

The soft padding of the rain drops against the roof were silently soothing and was pretty much the only 'normal' thing left in this God forsaken world. Young Ayu heard soft sounds that she couldn't quite identify coming from ahead of her. So she advanced cautiously. Ayu rounded a small corner that was made by a Forever 21 display case of the large mall store. Once she was closer she was able to decipher what was being said and if it was male or female. She mentally cursed herself when looked through the slightly frosted glass to see a girl about her age or around there motioning towards her. Come on Ayu, you got to look through the stores as well, the 'walls' are see through. She thought as she quickened her pace but not too much as she eyed the woman.

Ayu reached the doors and waited for the other to let her through. Once they were both inside, Ayu looked around the immediately vicinity to make sure the woman wasn't fibbing and notice a body in the distance. She walked some steps away and turned her body so she could easily look at the woman if she wanted while she scoured the store for the coat section. Once she found it she gave the other woman her full attention.

Not wanting to ask too many things at once she asked the most basic questions that she deemed important. "How long have you been here? You haven't seen any of those dead people walking or live ones, have you?" Ayu wouldn't be able to gather much personal information about the other woman from those questions, but she needed to know. Mostly the latter which could be influenced by the answer to the former. And depending on the answers she got and any future answers would determine what kind of situation the LA Mall was in, and what action was needed to be taken.

It was eerie how silent it was in there. No undead people in sight, at least not at the moment, no living humans as far as his eyes could reach. A month earlier, this place would have been filled with sounds, it would have been filled with people. They would have been walking around, talking about nothing and everything. His own friends might have dragged him over there for lunch to make sure he didn't end up dying because of too much studying. They were silly like that.

Suddenly from the corner of his eye, Alex noticed something. A movement. He swung around with the bat raised over his head... It was a girl waving at him... That was unexpected.

Lowering the baseball bat, Alex felt rather silly over being so jumpy. Smooth move there dude. He walked up to the sandwich place, trying to not seem threatening even though he was holding that bat. Was she alone? It looked like it, but just because no one was in view didn't mean they weren't there. Looking through the glass, he didn't notice any undead nor living beings walking around in there. Well, to be fair, why the heck would she have put herself there if any undead beings were walking around in there?

"Hey, you okay in there?" He asked, hoping the glass wasn't so thick that sound wouldn't be able to travel through. He gripped the handle of the door and tried to get it open. Locked. Not that surprising. He had also locked himself into many rooms just to make sure nothing would enter, no matter if things were outside or not. "Mind opening up? I promise I won't bite anything other than the food." Alex continued to ask before leaning the baseball bat on the wall a bit away from the door and himself so she might feel safer. He doubted he would need it for now anyways. Those things didn't seem very interested in this mall right now.

Riley Danver / Mason Faulkner - Pharmacy - Nikita Van Halen, Lorraine​

Mason looked at the woman, who had just pulled the trigger on her gun, presumably to kill Officer Van Halen. He sighed as they came to another stand still. He looked down the aisle at the children, who pricked a small pang of pain in his own chest. He exhaled, rubbing his bearded chin. He dropped his hand then looked back to the woman.

"Look, I know what its like to wanna protect your kids, so I understand your caution." Mason said, a calm tone settling over his deep voice. "I'm not trying to get anyone." He added, then turned and motioned to Riley, who watched with patient eyes. "My friend here is hurt, as well, so we've all got needs. Maybe we can help each other out."

As Riley stood behind Mason, she caught movement down the aisle across from the woman. She spotted the creatures as they shuffled towards the kids. "Look out!" She shouted, sprinting down the aisle, nearly falling down from the pain of her knee. She swung the duffel bag towards the closest biter, knocking it over. Mason followed almost immediately, shooting the second walker in the head. The corpse crumbled to the ground, limp for eternity. The final walker lunged down towards Riley, who was pushed to the ground under the weight of the undead man.

Riley put her small hands on the biter's decaying flesh, holding it as far away from her as safely possible. Mason appeared a moment later, his foot colliding with the creature's skull, sending it tumbling to her left. The ex-cop quickly raised his gun and fired a single shot into the walker's head. "It's not safe here."

Barnaby MalloryI*ILocation: Towards Forever 21I*I Interactions: @Master Justin @Alexstrasza ​

​

Barnaby 'Barbie' Mallory

Times had changed, almost too drastically for Barnaby's tastes. The day the illness hit, he'd tried so very hard to get a hold of his family. For the first twenty four hours, he'd spent it desperately trying to contact his parents and little sister. Nothing; he was met with their voicemail. If only he'd answered his phone in LA, if only he hadn't gone on this stupid retreat. He'd be back there, as dead as they were. The last call he'd gotten from them was the one that told him that they were dead. It kind of pained him to think back on it, but in a way the call had given him relief. He knew, at least that was something. Not very many people in this world got that kind of closure.

Almost all of his friends had gone missing, become one of them, or went on to find their families. It left Barnaby alone, though he didn't really mind it. He'd rather not see someone he was close to get torn apart. The only problem he thought he had was the fact that he was left with his medical satchel, a combat knife issued after training and a tin can. True he had a sleeping roll but that was just out of pure luck; he and his friends planned on going hiking after their trip to LA, go to Washington and spend some time at Spring Canyon. Robert had always talked about taking them there during training, they wanted him to own up to that promise before they were shipped out. Guess if there ever was a time that a bad situation could even mildly be turned good, this was the best time.

But on the other hand it also left Barbie alone. Loners didn't last long without a group, he'd learned that at training. Best to go with a team than stupidly try to survive on one's own. The thin white t-shirt under the black sweatshirt did little to keep out the cold. There was a mall somewhere around here where he imagined that he could find a coat. Out of all the things that could have been stolen, he doubted that they would have run out of coats. Maybe he could get some new jeans while he was at it; these torn, dirty old blue jeans were just too thin to help with his problem. His combat boots were fine, they kept the cold and water out pretty well.

He strode up the street as quietly as he could, ducking every once and a while to check himself. Any geeks following? There were a couple scattered here and there, but nothing too serious. To say that he was completely alone would be a lie if one considered animal companions. About the fourth day in, he'd found this young black cat by the name of Paul alone in one of the apartments he'd been raiding (which turned up nothing really, just a can of green beans and cat food). Barnaby always had a soft spot for felines, he thought that their antics were amusing to say the least and their intellect rather extraordinary.

It was amazing to Barbie how adaptable this cat was. He followed him around closely, was quiet when geeks were around and knew how to get in and out of scraps. Just like a dog almost. Walking as close to the walls of buildings as he could, he and Paul picked their way towards the mall. he could see it just less than a block ahead. Bam! Bam! Bam! 'Shite...what tosser is letting off rounds?!' he looked around; geeks were coming out of the wood work. Paul knew instinctively what to do, barbie turned around for a moment as the cat leaped onto him and crawled into the satchel.

Without uttering a sound, whoever was firing the shots was more than likely dead. Using his training, Barbie swiftly made for the back streets. He would be lucky if the geeks didn't see or catch his scent, though that might be too much to ask for. Turning the corner, he came face to face with a brutish geek. Standing six foot nine, this creature was the biggest asshole out here. Barnaby wasn't too small himself but even he knew that alone he was no match for this beast. he sighed and quickly ran around him, only listening as he grunted and hobbled after him.

Barbie could see the parking garage; he'd been to the mall before and knew that if he could get to the stairwell, he could shut the door behind him and make it into the main floor with enough climbing. He could hear other geeks joining in, but he was pretty fit. Almost there, almost there...shite! There was another brute and this one directly blocked his path. "Sorry Pally-Boy for this," he cursed as he suddenly allowed his body to fall and slide between the geek's legs, tripping it as he slid. Getting to his feet once more he wasted no time in bolting into the tunnel. About five strides, he made it to the door. Something grabbed hold of his arm suddenly, with lightening fast reaction speeds he ripped his combat knife from his belt and slammed it into the not-so-decomposed skull of a geek. Pulling his knife out after the great beast fell (with a certain difficulty) he turned and flung to door open. No geeks, thankfully. Shutting the door behind him and locking it, he took a moment to breathe.

Out of the bag stumbled Paul, who dazilly limped on the ground before glaring at Barbie. "What do you want from me Paul? Did you want to get eaten by geeks? There's still time for that," Barbie growled as he led the way upstairs. Paul grumbled as he walked beside him, both keeping their eyes open for geeks as well. The first geek they came across was this half-eaten freak, which Barbie gave a quick stab to the middle of the temple. But he was actually surprised with how little geeks he was finding on the stairwell, not that he wasn't scared. No, he might just die here but he needed another coat.

Finally, after what seemed like forever he reached the top floor. Still holding his knife, Paul stuck close to Barbie's legs as he opened the door. Turning on the flashlight on his keys, there wasn't any sign of a walker. He knew the Forever 21 was on this floor and very close to where this entrance was, he just had to find it. His ears peeled, he'd have heard (and smelled) any geek. Suddenly, a door slammed shut, startling both him and Paul. On guard, that couldn't have been a geek. They weren't smart, had he found another survivor?! He looked at Paul and sighed. "Well, better luck we've had all week, wouldn't you say?" He knew that he couldn't just throw caution to the wind. He figured they'd be mistrustful of him at first, but if anything perhaps they'd just allow him to get new clothes and leave them. he wanted no trouble. Pressing forward, he carefully watched where he stepped. making sure they could see his light, he cleared his throat. "Hello? Is anyone there? Or are you just a couple geeks about to have their first meal of the day?" he asked, loud enough for whoever, or whatever, to hear him. He kept his hands out of his pockets, he was sure to keep them very visible in case they had a gun. "If you are not a geek, please don't shoot."

Readd didn't realize how far he actually was from the South Entrance. He could see the mall from where he had been hiding, because of how big it was. He was actually about a mile or so away from it. "Fucking great." He groaned, as he moved next to an abandoned building. He didn't see any walkers or crawlers in the area; thank God. He was becoming paranoid and a paranoid Readd was worst than a selfish Readd on any occasion. He slouched against the bricks of the building, looking down at Chopper. He knew that it was about to start raining worst. Everytime it rained heavy, Chopper's ears would flop down to the sides of his head. That was how he always knew when it was time to find shelter.

"Don't worry boy, we'll be alright." He was trying to reassure the dog, but he needed someone to reassure him before he could do that. He was an independent and very selfish man, but he knew that him and Chopper would not be able to survive this whole thing if he didn't try to find one more survivor and work with them. He hated making "nice" with other people and it was something that he wasn't good at. Readd would rather punch someone than hug them. He had anger issues that could rival the God of War's infamous anger fueled actions. He would need to learn how to keep it together if he was to ever gain the trust of another or of others if he wanted to find shelter and make it out of this hell on earth.

Biting down on his bottom lip, he held onto his dog's leash as he looked further down from where he was. He would've kept moving towards the mall, but there was no telling how long he would be in the open and who's to say anyone was in there that wasn't a walker or crawler? It might sound crazy, but Readd had better odds of finding another survivor in a less usually populated area. Most humans weren't as smart or as cunning as he was; he just hoped there was at least one other person that was smart enough to NOT hide in the most obvious of a place there was in L.A.

Making sure to not make too much noise as he headed away from the mall and to the other side of the street. "I fucking hope I'm making the right damn choice right now." He shook his head and ran for an open alley, which he had been in a few minutes ago after he moved from the other one before that. The alleys of Downtown L.A. were his friend and he always made sure to check them for walkers before he would go into one. He had seen people be taken out by a walker hiding in one of the metal garbage cans. That shit stuck with him and now he always checks every corner and area of an alley before he hid in them. He took a second to scope the area that he was heading towards.

There were a few buildings down the way he was going; the one he spotted that seemed the most plausible of an area around for shelter was a Fire Station. "Bingo..." He looked back at Chopper, who was sniffing around for food. "I know boy, I'm hungry too." He felt and heard his stomach growl ferociously. "Damn, I knew I should've went to a store instead of that shitty bar... dammit." He stood there for a few seconds, and was about to make a run for the entrance of the station when he spotted a guy and a girl running towards it. They were closer than he was and he raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Where the fuck did they..." He stopped talking as soon as he spotted walkers following behind them. "Great, fucking great." He moved back into the shadows as he waited for the walkers to move on; if they did move on.

He could hear the sky start to thunder and saw lightning, which made Chopper whimper and nearly bark. Rain started to drop down faster and in a bigger quantity. "Shit..." He whispered, putting his hat back on and pulling Chopper to his chest. "Relax boy... relax." His dog was terrified of thunder and lightning and he feared that Chopper would start barking and the walkers would come his way. Closing his eyes. "Don't bark... don't bark... don't fucking bark." After a few seconds of quietness, he opened his eyes and took a peak around the corner to see if the walkers had went away.

Luckily the rain had been pouring down heavily and the walkers had left the front of the Fire Station after a few minutes of failing to get in. He was glad they were too dumb to actually be able to open the garage door. Then it hit him. "Those people probably locked it... shit." Smacking his hand against the wet ground, he stood up. He looked at his dog, who wasn't moving at all. "Come on boy." He sighed and picked the heavy beast up; knowing that he wouldn't get anywhere if he forced him to walk. "We need to get them to open the door; or we'll be stuck out in this rain for the night."

Readd failed at trying to keep the water out of his face, barely being able to see as the water collected onto his eyelashes. Both of his hands were busy holding up Chopper, so he would have to use his foot to get the girl and guy's attention, if they could hear his kicking over the thunder and lightning; hopefully.

He didn't want to make obnoxiously loud kicking noises. Not fully knowing if the walkers ACTUALLY left or were just hiding somewhere. This was truly a life or death situation he had put himself and his dog in. "Here we go, boy." He said as he started kicking the metal door, hoping to make enough noise to be heard by the people inside; but not enough to be heard by any creatures that might be around.

"Hey I'm alive, let me in!" He said, trying to not yell too loud. He knew if he didn't say at least a complete sentence they wouldn't let him in. If the roles were reversed, Readd would have the person do tricks and flips before letting them in. Looking up into the sky as the rain kept coming down, he kept kicking against the door. "I saw you two go in there. Let me in and hurry!"

Vixen was very happy that the girl had decided to come into Forever 21 with her. She was terrified of being alone and now that she had met someone that seemed like a really nice person, she wouldn't be alone in this chaos. She closed the door behind them and then she moved back to the counter. Hopping back onto said counter, she looked at the girl. She saw her go over and look through the coat section, not without spotting the dead body of Marco first. She had to hold back the tears that were about to start flowing. She hadn't let everything register in her mind until right now. Did she really just kill her boyfriend, the love of her life? Wiping away the imaginary tears, she stood up and rested against the counter. She didn't look at the girl, as she started asking questions. She had to get herself together before she answered anything. Making sure that tears wouldn't start coming out, she fanned her face and put on a fake smile.

"Well, I've only been in here for a few hours. Like three or four; my phone died a while back so I don't even know what time it is." The next question, she just stared at Marco's decaying body. "That guy right there." Pointing to Marco. "He use to be my boyfriend and he was turned by one of those bastards. He killed it before he became one." Vixen placed the bat in front of her. "This was his bat..." It wouldn't be hard for the other girl to realize where Vixen's story was going; she just couldn't put it in words. She could say it in her head, but she couldn't say it out loud right now. "Other than that... I haven't seen one since then."

Flipping her hair over her right shoulder, she wanted to change the subject; if only for a moment. "I'm Vixen, what's your name?" Before the girl would get a chance to answer, a man's voice came booming their way. Out of fear and instinct, she clutched the bat and spun around to the double glass doors. She wouldn't trust just a voice that indicated the person wasn't a creature. They could potentially be out to use her and/or the other girl as bait. She wouldn't be surprised if the man had used other people around him to save his own ass. It was wrong for her to judge someone without giving them a chance, like she did with the girl; but Vixen was not in the state to care about judging a book by it's cover.

When the man flashed his light their way, she placed her hand in front of her face to block it. "Well thank you for blinding me. Put that down." She waved in the way of the light. The doors were closed but they were thin so she could hear him and vice versa. "And I am defintely not a geek." Looking back at the girl. She whispered. "What the hell is this guy talking about?" She then turned back to the man on the other side of the glass doors.

Even though their was no makeshift lock on them anymore, if the man even made a step closer to the door handles, Vixen would kick them open and break his fingers. "How do we know that you can be trusted? Some random guy comes in here and I bet you expect me to open these doors and let you in, right?" She spoke with false bravado in her tone. "You have thirty seconds to convince me and... her to open these doors for you." She looked at the girl who still hadn't said her name yet. "If he tries anything... fight." Turning back around to the door and the man. "Go."

INTERACTION: Ayu with Vixen @Master Justin @LogicfromLogic​

Ayu shifted through a rack of jean jackets for her size while the other woman answered her questions. She narrowed her eyebrows when unsuccessfully located the correct size. So she moved on over to the rack mixed with leather jackets and leather panel jackets and a sweater jacket or two. Ayu's attention was drawn away from the coats to the other woman when she paused. She saw her pointing to the body she saw earlier. The woman frowned when she learned the body used to be the others' boyfriend...and only recently... the thought trailed off when the lady mentioned his bat, which she now had. Ayu simply nodded and said no more, she didn't want to torment the woman any further. Besides Ayu knows if it just happened, the other wouldn't have had proper time to process what had just happened.

Ayu smiled when Vixen decided to give her her name. But before Ayu could offer her own name as a common courtesy, some loud mouthed male's voice shout through the air. She looked from Vixen to the double doors. Ayu furrowed her brows in thought and grabbed a jacket she glanced at earlier and slipped it on. Ayu moved her arms around make sure the jacket was flexible enough for combat movement. She looked over to Vixen and shrugged when she asked what the male was talking about. Ayu moved closer to Vixen, understanding the way the woman's body language was... she didn't seem up for a confrontation. Atleast not with another person. Ayu glanced towards Vixen when she only mentioned 'her'. "Ah... sorry the name is Ayu." She said softly towards the woman.

Ayu nodded and placed a hand on one of her short swords and took a stepped closer towards the door. "Worse case.. I'll hold him off enough until you can get away."

Barnaby 'Barbie' Mallory

Barbie realized that his flashlight was preventing them from seeing him. Pulling it away from them, he nervously glanced around. The last thing he wanted was to be caught unaware of a geek, a deep seeded fear of his was being eaten alive. Though he really couldn't blame whoever it was that spoke. A woman, he was sure of that. But then again he was making assumptions, he should wait until they showed and introduced themselves. He still held his hands up, though it was obvious that he was very physically built. But he made no attempt at a weapon, no attempt to move. He'd been trained in situations like this, though he wondered why they were so keen on leaving someone stranded out in the open.

"My name is Lt. Barnaby Mallory, British Special Forces. I came into this country for a vacation and never got the chance to go back, I'd much rather be suffering in my own bloody country but beggers can't be choosers. There's no way that I could convince you that I am trustworthy, trust takes more than thirty seconds to win over. All I came into this mall was for a few clothes, I honestly didn't think that I'd find any survivors here...do you need medical aide? I have an advance medical kit if you need wounds treated. I can show you my dog tags to prove to you that I am telling the truth," he hoped that would be good enough for them to at least let him in.

His knife was secured on the front of his right hip, if they let him in more than likely they would take it before letting him inside. It was understandable, they didn't know him well enough to really trust him. A thought crossed his mind; could he trust them? Paul looked up at Barbie, yowling at him. "Shut up Paul, want to attract even more geeks? We're already sitting ducks right now," he scolded his cat quietly. The cat's pelt was pitch black, it was hard to tell that there was an animal here but they would have heard Paul's noise. "Forgive Paul, he likes people." He was also on the look out for food and medicine, after this he was planning on trying to get out of the city, away from danger. Or maybe find a place in this area, there didn't seem to be a lot of geeks around. But this was LA, shouldn't this mall be crawling with them? His nerves were getting to him. He'd never attack innocent people, and these folks just seemed rather scared. But he needed warmer clothes.

Edwyn didn't respond much to what she said and rather looked at his wound, he didn't actually care much about what she was saying. He had better things to think of right now. " It's actually not that bad what I have... Just a few scratches.. bruises. I mean, I should disinfect them if we have any alcohol... " he simply commented before finally looking back at the beautiful girl.

That's when she started leading them around the place and he actually was kind of grateful because this place was quite a finding. Showers with the potential of the water still working, there was a cafeteria, a kitchen... But they didn't seem to find anything useful for his injuries except a bag of bandages.

It shouldn't be that bad... How many times did I hurt myself like that before the apocalypse, He told himself as he just sat down on the chair she pulled for him and he looked at her.

" Do you have a profession in some kind of medical field or are you a mom?" He then asked her as he pushed his glasses with his index and looked at her. She probably could see her reflection through his glasses and his eyes staring right through their with some kind of awkward intensity. Like... he was dissecting her in some way.

That's when he saw a blonde man passing across the window and he immediately stiffened. " Someone is there... Can you go check?" he asked Hayley assuming that the new kicking inside the place was from him.

It was ridiculously reckless of that guy to just bang on the metallic door. It echoed through all of the fire station and his heart rate increased. The young man didn't even wait for her to have any movement that he grabbed the scissors she was holding.

There was no chance that he would die here because of a reckless idiot.

" He's going to attract walkers. I just know it, " he said as he felt the anxiety rise as he was determined to let the man there but he wasn't sure if it was right or not. He was struggling to choose between opening the guy or just letting him be the meals of the walkers. Maybe he could keep the walkers away for some while.

They won't be as hungry for me! I mean, it makes sense! He said as he struggled with figuring out what he wants to do.

Zara looked at the guy as he tried to come in. She could hear him clearly and she groaned as she stood up. Not because he was annoying her, but rather because of the pain that struck her core. She felt pain everywhere in her body. Her pounding headache surely didn't help.

Though, having someone to talk to while she died, or felt like she was, was kind of worth it...

She made a sign that she would be there in a minute and that minute was accurate. She was practically crawling towards the door. Her inside felt ripped and blood was trickling down her back. She felt like her heart was in her mouth and the moment she reached the door, she looked at the guy in the eyes and saw something like relief, probably because he was coming inside a locked place with food...

But her eyes narrowed when she saw a figure coming behind him. That's when thunder cracked the sky and the walker making his way silently behind Alexander looked at her sending her chills down her core.

She pressed her bloody finger on the window as she leaned towards the glass not even looking at him anymore as she fixated the walker.

The way he walked, his disheveled appearance with flesh hanging from his mouth. It was terrifying and she just froze, unable to open the door for him and leaving him to deal with the walker... Normally, she would have killed it with her own hands but she just couldn't right now.

His gun was quickly propped up alerted by the others as the walkers came too close to the younger ones hiding behind the aisle. He cursed at himself for not seeing them, but he was so busy with trying to convince that woman that he ended up giving his back to that side of the store.

" Tsk, " Nikita did completely annoyed by this. " You sure as hell courageous to be in front of two trained police officers that know how to use a gun. Just keep away and we won't harm your kids. " Nikita said annoyed by the mother. He understood her, but he needed this to be done right now. He couldn't afford losing more time.

The first place he went was medication and what seemed like any type of supplies to try and close up wounds.

" Where is it... " he said annoyed by not being able to find a freaking needle of all things. He shoved what was needed into a small backpack that clearly couldn't be his. There was some kind of communist symbols, revolutionary symbols from Palestine, and basically tons of political statements in small pins.

Nikita didn't even bother looking at any of them except one of the child of the mother. He didn't really know what to say to that kid that was terrorized from being almost eaten by some walkers if not for the other foolish pair.

From the looks of it, the 'honorable' chicago cop could handle that Lorraine. So, what he would do is pack up what he needs and leave them be. The women wasn't of any use right now. Her kids would die and she would die with them.

" Where the fuck are surgery equipment!" he commented frustrated by not finding what he needed.

​

Once the stranger took a seat next to Hayley, who was practically standing over him, looking at him for a mere moment, before unwrapping the bandages. Making sure the towel was slightly wet. She pulled his hands under the faucet, before turning the crane around for the water to rush down. 'Heh. Look at that, we've got some water..' She smiled ever so slightly before looking back at the man.

The brunette noticed the painful expression on his face. The cold water, albeit helpful against his wounds, would still hurt, especially when cold water was all over it, though at the same time, the pain should have subsided, to some degree at least. Turning the water off, she pulled another chair that was close by, before she took a seat right next to the stranger.

He asked Hayley an odd question. Her expression easily gave that away, being somewhat curious as to what he said. "Oh this?" Her eyes diverted towards the bandages, before continuing. A smirk, or a soft laugh escaped her lips.

"No, I'm not a mom, nor do I have any medical experience other than the basics. My brother used to get injuries like this.. Though.." Hayley looked at the short of medical supplies she had, before continuing.

"I had much more to work with, than this." Another soft laugh escaped her lips. Things were quiet in the firehouse, and so far it was just the two of them. Their eyes met as he was gazing at her, like she was him. It was awkward.

She broke away from the eye contact, before grabbing the wet towel, so she could remove the blood that was still stuck on his hands, on his injuries. "This might sting, though not as much as the alcohol.. Which we don't have.. Unfortunately." Taking a moment, she decided to look to her sides, to see if she could find anything similar or close to alcohol.

Nothing quite useful like the alcohol was there, or anything similar. Looking at the stranger again, while she was tending to his wunds, she asked a simple, yet obvious question. "So.. Where were you headed off too?.. On that bike of yours.. Mr--" Well, Hayley wanted to know his name, because it was high time he introduced himself, so she could do the same.

It did not take long before something came and ruined the calm and peaceful moment she was having in the firehouse. The stranger told Hayley, and her expression immediately became serious. "Where?!" She asked, looking towards the window the stranger before her had his eyes .

He stiffened and pulled his hands back. It was somewhat surprising how rattled he was. "Was it one of them?" Hayley asked, before standing up from her chair. "You.. You want me to check.. REALLY?" Obviously, the brunette was terrified. He was the man, but looking at him for a second or two more, he seemed much more scared than her. How was that possible?

He grabbed her scissors and practically went in a defensive stance. Though, judging by the expression he had at that very moment, Hayley could tell that something was wrong with him. How unlucky could she be. Getting away from Clyde only to end up with someone who might not even be sane. Though how could she blame him? With the world in its current state, she was surprised she didn't become insane.

"Alright, alright.. Stay here.. I'll go and check." The banging on the door was quite loud inside. The man shouting from the outside obviously knew someone was there, and that it was none other than Hayley and the stranger. Yep, he must've seen them get inside. "Crap.." The brunette scowled, walking slowly towards the door the loud and excessive sound was coming from.

"Hey!!" She exclaimed, so the newest addition to the stranger club could hear her voice. "Stop banging on the door, you're only going to attract more of them.." Hayley had to be sure, and walked away from the door to peek out, through the windows to see if the dead was approaching.

"Shit.. SHIT SHIT!!" They were, and Hayley just wasn't the type to leave someone out to die, especially when she could prevent it from happening.

While she was running back to the door, she looked at the blonde stranger she almost crashed earlier, and quickly told him about the situation. "Listen.. I'm letting him inside.. He'll at least stop the banging, and those.. Those creatures wont get inside either.. The banging will stop as well.."

Turning around, towards the door, she held the doorknob. Hayley was hesitating. Unsure if this was a choice she would again, regret making. "I can't believe this is happening to me over and over again.." She whispered to herself, almost in a panicked state. Was she cursed or something?

Opening up the door only slightly, so he could squeeze himself in, she spoke up. "Hurry up.. Get inside.." Having said that, she waited for the new stranger, yet another blonde to get inside. Shutting the door behind him, before making sure it was locked.

Hayley paced, and was annoyed, expressing the shit the new stranger just pulled. "Seriously.. Are you stupid? Banging on the damn door would only attract more of them.. You trying to get us killed?"

Lorraine hugged her children close to her, unsure what to say to the former police officer and the blond haired girl. The other former police officer wasn't making her situation any better. She scowled at him, then muttered an apology to the man with the pitch black goatee. Her mind was clouded, like she was lost on a desert highway. Lorraine didn't know anyone, she wasn't sure what to expect in the foreseeable future. Lorraine grabbed her camo green traveling backpack and swung the straps over both of her shoulders, her eyes inevitably landing on the five corpses nearby, wrenching of garbage, sweat, and disease.

For the moment, Lorraine was captivated, extremely disgusted by the way her face twisted at the sight. Louisa tugged on her shirt and she wiped the sweat off her hands. "Come on," she murmured to Louisa, beckoning Marceline along as well. It was true that this place wasn't safe anymore; The walkers proved that much, but Lorraine was done scavenging for now. The former police officer with the tattoos walked by and she squeezed her childrens' hands as he glanced down at Marceline.

Lorraine didn't know what the man was thinking, but at this point in time, his attitude towards her didn't make her any more liable to feeling like she could establish some sort of trust with him. She cringed, but held her ground when he angrily shouted. "This isn't a hospital," Lorraine immediately input assertively, though her chest still shook. "You're better off looking for surgery equipment in a nearby hospital, if there is one nearby." Then she glanced over at the other two; the girl with a limp and the calm gentleman. Her eyes established eye contact anywhere else but their eyes. "Thank you for saving my children. I suppose I should thank you in some way. What happened to her?"

Marcus

LOCATION: LA Mall
INTERACTION: No one alive​

Soon after Marcus parted from Ayu at the entrance they came in together, he was met with objects from different stores and even the vendors that usually set up shop in the middle of the walkways all over the floor. He guess most of the action happened right here when the outbreak started at the mall. And probably afterwards as well. Marcus worked his through the mess careful not make too much noise if any. Just when he going to relax mentally is when he started to see walkers. Through windows of passing stores, he didn't slow down to gawk or see if they could get out. He was much more concerned with them not really noticing him.

It took quite some time for him to reach the pharmacy, well in eye sight that is. His eyes lit up more than they should have. He didn't HAVE to restock but he knew he needed to. Just because you'd never know. Especially since he already used some of his supplies. What did need though was some more water. Thinking back to his childhood, he kind of wish he was put into scouts or some survivalist training group.

Marcus was well within earshot of some voices and definitely within earshot of gun shots. And he cringed at each one. Only heaven knows who or what else heard those. He quickened his steps and snuck by the Pharmacy, not knowing what kind of situation was going on, but either way it couldn't be good. He didn't glance in that direction but not long enough to really see anything other than one or two people. He wasn't really sure.

Marcus stopped walking after a few minutes. He was getting further and further from Ayu, and the food court. He took a moment to look around and notice he was by another entrance, not exactly a main one but a entrance none the less which had a map. And to his satisfaction there was a map. Just up ahead was a shortcut through the mall (usually at the half way point) that led to the other side. Which happened to be next to the food court. Good. Since he really didn't want back track towards and pass the Pharmacy. Once he moved away from the map and headed in the direction he needed to go he saw someone rounding the corner of the bathrooms. He paused until he saw it was one of those dead things. And it was headed his way. He unbelted his combat knife and started walking towards it when he looked towards his left.

There was more coming (The way he didn't go). A number he didn't feel comfortable with. Two or three trickled from the path he was to take to avoid the Pharmacy. Well...shit. He cursed beneath his breath. He changed his mind about the bathroom one even though it was pretty close, but not in lunging reach just yet. Marcus bolted back towards the Pharmacy. Now where in the hell did those guys come from? Oh right...gun shots. Ugh. The thought of that reminded him he didn't want to cross paths with whoever was inside that fired those shots. Plus he didn't want to lead the group that was starting to form towards Ayu. And it would ruin his food plans. He didn't get far when he almost passed a janitor's closet that just so happened to be ajar.

Marcus didn't think twice and slipped inside but not before seeing where the walkers were. They were pretty far, though they were in eye sight. Excluding the one he wanted to kill that came out the bathroom. He assumed within a minute or two that one would be upon him. The others that were amassing and heading his way.. he wasn't too sure about. He knew they came this way because of the noise, but would they join the bathroom walker at the door or keep marching on?

Marcus closed the door and locked it.

​

The girl seemed to be in quite a lot of pain as she tried to crawl towards the door. Eventually he did notice the blood through her clothes. Damn, she needed a hospital... Not that they would find any hospitals open nowadays. "Take it slowly if it hurts." He told her, though his voice might not have been loud enough to reach through the glass. She was almost there now. Alex definitely felt relieved, both for his and her sake. It was painful just watching her moving around.

Then she stopped. Instead of continuing towards the door, she was looking at something. It was definitely not him. She seemed... frightened. That's when he heard it. A footstep on the wet floor. He turned his head.

"Ooh come on! I just got away from you guys." He was not in the mood for this. Though so far it was only one. One wasn't that bad, he could easily outrun it, but if he ran the girl would be left completely alone, possibly to die of her wounds. He wasn't too fond of the idea of beating the brains out of it, but right now that seemed to be his only choice if he didn't want to become completely alone again while also abandoning a person in need.​

Alexander almost threw himself at the bat, then swung it with all the force he could muster at the head of the decomposing walking corpse. It was pushed into the glass of the food place, but its head didn't crack. Maybe he should have spent more time in the gym rather than in the library. He hit again, and again, and again, then another one, six, seven, eight. Blood was flying at that point, and maybe a bit of brain as well. Even so he didn't stop, afraid it would attack him if he did.

Then it finally dropped to the ground, both blood and brain pieces were covering the walker and the young man. He breathed heavily, his arms exhausted. How many times had he hit it? Fifteen? Maybe twenty.

"I think... It's okay now..." He said while trying to catch his breath. He gave the corpse a slight kick to see if it moved. Though with most of its brain gone it shouldn't even be any question about it. "Yeah... It's fine now." His eyes were still etched at the smashed thing on the ground. He hadn't been this physical with one of these things since the first day of the outbreak in their city. Usually it was just enough to run and hide with the occasional beating to make them step back, but very rarely to actually kill. It took too much effort without firearms.

Vixen knew she had to think fast; she had never done something like this before. Decisions like these were not something she ever thought she would have to make. It was something that she knew would change everything, even more than the walkers and the other creatures around. Looking at Ayu for a split second, before she turned to the doors. In another life, she could see her and Ayu being friends and instead of hiding inside of the clothing store, they would be shopping and having fun. This was defintely not her idea of fun and she wished she could be somewhere else right now. Most people in her shoes would've wished to be somewhere else.

Biting down on her bottom lip, she listened to the man speak. His name was Barnaby Mallory; what kind of Nursery Rhyme factory did he come from? She wanted to laugh, but held it in. She was shocked and a little happy inside at hearing that he was a Lieutenant for The British Special Forces. She knew nothing about that, only that a Lieutenant was someone in the army and someone that was high on the list; or that's what an ex-boyfriend told her who had been in the army. Now the decision was getting even harder. How could she know if Barnaby was telling the truth about everything? He was right about not being able to prove oneself trustworthy within thirty seconds; she just wanted him to know she wasn't some stupid fool that would open the doors to anyone sounding human.

She happened to notice Ayu getting ready with her weapon. "I don't know you that well, at all really; but I am not going to leave you. That would be worst than being killed by one of those things, or Barnaby guy. I wouldn't leave someone on their own for any reason. That's not my thing." Shrugging and sighing at the same time, as she moved to the double glass doors. "I hope I'm making the right choice." Rolling her eyes, Vixen held on the cold metal door handles and looked through the glass for a split second. "He better not try anything dumb..." She said, still holding the bat in her free hand. She was ready to swing at any suspicious movement.

She could hear the faint sound of a cat as she slowly opened the doors, not wanting to cause too much noise. "You have a cat too... how sweet." She hated cats; Vixen was a dog person all the way. "Come in... and hurry." She said, keeping an eye on Barnaby and occasionally looking in the other directions of the mall. She didn't want any surprises from him or a walker, that could be anywhere right now.

"Don't just sit there and look dumb." She grinned and waved him over. She didn't know what the three... what the FOUR of them would do in the clothing store; other than get clothes to keep warm. They would need to move further into the mall if they wanted to find food and other supplies. They had clothing and warmth, but they needed food and possibly medical supplies as well. They would definitely need transportation soon. No telling where they would go , but Vixen wanted to get the hell out of L.A. as quick and as soon as possible.

While still holding Chopper in his arms, Readd could feel the hairs on the back of his neck start to rise. He didn't want to look back, but he could tell that those walkers from earlier hadn't gone away like he had thought. He knew that he couldn't outrun the small group of walkers, not with Chopper in his arms. He only had one option, and that was the Fire Station. There was no point in NOT kicking as hard as possible against the door, now that the walkers were coming his way anyway. That's what he did, until he heard the voice of the female he had seen run into the station earlier.

She seemed pissed, which just made him smirk a little to himself. Even with walkers coming his way, Readd still liked being a total dick towards everyone. He was ready to get in for safety, when he saw her silhouette move past the window and he noticed that she moved away from the door. "What the fuck?" He was about to resume his kicking, but didn't when he saw the door was open enough for him to slip inside.

"You don't have to tell me twice. Come on boy." He made it inside the fire station, with Chopper in his arms tightly. He made sure to close the door with his back, as the brunette locked it. He would've been walker slop if he had been stuck out there for another minute. He had to catch his breath and also calm his mind, before answering the woman's comments on his intelligence.

Chopper, now in a dry place, the dog left his arms and Readd slid down on the floor. Resting his head against the door, as he looked up at the brunette. "If I was trying to get you killed, I would've pulled you out the door when you opened it, Sweetheart." Blowing her a kiss and smirking. "You really took your time opening the damn door. I hope you're not looking for a thank you or anything."

He chuckled to himself, watching Chopper shake himself dry. The dog had left a hug puddle of water once he shook most of it off. The puddle was in the middle of the floor, near one of the fire trucks. Readd hated rainwater; the smell alone made him feel sick. Standing back up, he proceeded to pull off his shirt and tried to wipe his chest off. The water dropped off his perfect chest and onto his jeans. "Damn, I don't have another pair of jeans. Fuck, I'm going to smell like a wet dog all day now." Getting a bark in response to his careless simile in the presence of an actual wet dog. "Sorry boy." Shaking his head, water flying directly towards Hayley. "My bad." He grinned; not feeling too bad about getting the girl a little wet.

"Wasn't there someone with you?" He questioned her. "Some nerdy looking guy. Why wasn't he the one opening the door? Too scared?" He started laughing lightly, throwing his wet shirt on top of the fire truck. He ran his fingers through his wet hair, throwing his hat on the truck as well. "You got any food? I'm starving." Rubbing his stomach and fake pouting. "You can't let this body go malnourished."

Barnaby 'Barbie' Mallory

Barnaby knew that he was taking a serious risk walking inside that store. To him, it was a bit nerve wrecking knowing that there were two of them and only one of him; he was trained in martial arts and defense, had a pretty nice knife to boot, but that didn't mean that he wanted to use those. As the door opened, he stepped back before the woman spoke. Looking around, he made sure nothing was coming at them and walked carefully over to the store door. He held his arms up just in case they wanted to search him for a gun.

Reaching down slowly, he pulled his wallet out and opened it for the cautious women to see. It held his military ID in it, stating that he was in the British Special Forces. "Not lying to you ladies, just needed a coat," his eyes traced the store for a moment. The light in here was dim and Barbie struggled to see his hand in front of his face. Pulling out his flashlight, he shined it over the clothing. 'God damn it, none of these tiny clothes are going to fit me!' he cursed to himself as he kept still.

Was there a sports store around here? Maybe a veteran's shop? Frustration ebbed at Barbie as he glanced at the woman who had been so kind to let him in. "Thanks for letting me in and not being shitty and leaving me for the geeks to eat," he said, though he felt like she was a little too eager to mistrust him. True, life had gone to hell but what could have happened to her? It was unfair to assume anything. It was rather more of Barbie's misfortune that he'd managed to get on someone's bad side without even doing anything. "So...either of you need medical attention? I've got the supplies to help if you need it," he offered, looking over at the other woman in the room. He mainly came here to get some jeans, but since they wouldn't have the size he needed he just planned on getting a backpack. "Have you seen where the rucksacks are? It'd be easier to carry my crap in one," he asked, his gaze returning to the woman that let him in. She was attractive, he'd give her that much. So was her friend, but he by all means wasn't going to voice those out loud.

Edwyn didn't understand why she was surprised to be THE one to check on that banging stranger. Who else could possibly go there? Him? She was crazy to even consider it. Then again, she didn't really know him, did she.

He looked at her as she slowly made her way there, but then she proposed the stupidest thing ever. Letting him in? Good god, why did he even let her tag along with him? That idiot was going to get them killed with his noisiness, and now his dog that came in!

"Seriously... Are you stupid? Banging on the damn door would only attract more of them... You trying to get us killed?" Hayley said.

"If I was trying to get you killed, I would've pulled you out the door when you opened it, Sweetheart." The stranger said as he blew a kiss at her and gave a devilish smirk.

"You really took your time opening the damn door. I hope you're not looking for a thank you or anything."

Edwyn stood, staying silent and almost transparent from the look of things.

The ugly, impolite, and vulgar man simply spoke like he wasn't right in that room and he only looked at him through his glasses. He didn't respond or do anything until he mentioned food.

" I believe there is food in the mall right across this building if you want to exercise this... strange body of yours. " he commented as he pushed his glasses up his nose not feeling one ounce of fear anymore.

" Or is it in your habit to intrude and reward your saviors with this vain attitude of yours?" he said clearly not liking him much.

Zara looked as he smashed the living hell out of that walker and she smiled a bit as she slowly unlocked the door of the Quizno sub. She felt the breeze suddenly come in and blow her a bit. She stumbled a bit again and hit the chair behind her, but she managed to stay up.

" Nice Hits, " She then managed to whisper as she closed her eyes, slowly to focus on her breathing, seating on the bench next to her.

She had barely any consciousness left and she could feel herself slowly losing this battle.

" If only there was a damn doctor still alive in this hell hole. " he then said without a moment of hesitation as he tried to zip to back rapidly but the zipper broke in his hand.

"I'm not staying a second more in this fucking store, " He swore once more under his breath.

Ayu could appreciate that Vixen had some morals and had no intention of leaving her to save her own skin. Admirable, but Ayu could handle herself. The young woman eyed the man and his feline companion that he apparently had. Ayu eyed the ID he was holding up and nodded stiffly. She relaxed her body and lowered her arm and couldn't help but giggled as she noticed the small change in his face as he looked around the store. Must not be his cup of tea she thought. Barnaby mentioned geeks again but this time he said something about eating him.

Ayu shook her head in reply to the medical attention. She was glad he seemed to not want any trouble just as much as them. She looked away from him as she looked into the dim store. "So...Barnaby.. is it? You call those things out there Geeks?" She paused she spotted outlines of backpacks behind some clothes. Just as she figured. "There should be some bags near the back wall over there." She pointed in the right direction.

Meme for Marcus

It didn't take Marcus long to seriously think about the situation he was in. He grunted as he fumbled for the door knob in pretty much pitch black darkness, and unlocked the door. He backed up as much as he could carefully and then ran towards the door hitting it with his shoulder. Sending the walking back a few paces and onto the floor. He looked in the direction he came and didn't like what he saw. Marcus needed to get him and Ayu out of here or atleast out of their line of sight.

Marcus unhitched his combat knife from his belt and dug it into the skull of the bathroom walker that was getting off the floor. He jiggled the blade alittle and used a foot to push the walker off the blade. With a slight bit of trouble of course. He wiped his blade off on the walkers clothes or what was left of it before hitching it back under his belt.

The man took no time in running off in the opposite direction, stream lining it past the pharmacy then skidding to a stop, almost toppling over. God dammit, he thought and back tracked to the pharmacy to see a man at the entrance looking pissed as he ferociously gripped what looked to be a broken bag. "I don't want to know. Don't care, but if you value your life I'd put your ass in gear and fucking run." He grimaced as he realized he was a bit loud, but it didn't matter. Those things already were heading THIS way.. so more noise wouldn't do squat. "They're coming."

Marcus turned away and kept going. It took him some time but he managed to reach the clothing department. He looked all around not knowing which one she would be in.. wait did she even tell him? Crap. He squinted, not that he need to, and looked through all the windows. And he saw some kind of movement. He wasn't sure, so he quickly checked a few store windows until he landed in front of Forever 21.

He had a feeling he shouldn't just barge in there, seeing as he seen three people inside. Hell none of them might be Ayu. Although considering her build he was sure she would be in there. He knocked on the glass. "Guys. The dead are coming, get your bearings and get out less you want to be trapped. Don't go left, go right when you leave."

Marcus took no time in running off.

​

Wow, Hayley was surprised. She just couldn't help but stand there silently, and blink for a few seconds while the new stranger was talking. He had no respect? And his attitude? God, she wanted to strangle him right then and there. He was lucky that the woman was much more composed in their current situation, and to kill someone that was alive? Well, that wasn't really one of her goals.

Hayley had crossed her arms before her chest while the little blonde runt, albeit attractive was talking. No thank you whatsoever, and all he wanted was to get things served on a platter for him. After he was done talking, and even mentioning the second stranger she yet didn't know the name of, she glanced over at the biker for a mere moment. If there was one thing that the new stranger may have been correct on, then it may have been that the other blondie was scared.

Some drops of water landed on her body while the new stranger was cleaning himself up. All the brunette did was to stand there and look at him with a fake smile plastered on her face. Is there a club, or a bat around? There were plenty of things in the firetruck one could use to nail that bastard and his attitude to a wall. 'Ugh, I can't handle this shit..'

The new blondie was in the same predicament as her. Wet and in need of new clothes. The man commented about the water drops that ended on Hayley, though again, with his cocky and ungrateful attitude, it was not easy to discern that he was talking sarcastically, as if he did not care at all. "Well, that's fine.." She responded in kind, with a sarcastic voice.

"As you can't tell, it was raining outside, and we just came here ourselves. So yeah. A few drops of water wouldn't make me any more wet than I already am. But thanks though, really.. Blondie." There was a reason for why she couldn't help but make a simple yet indirect remark. The new blondie gave a bad first impression, but his dog didn't.

Not everyone was the same, and Hayley was not the one to judge someone right off the bat, unless they gave the vibes Clyde used to give, may he rest in pieces. Once the second stranger, the one who almost crashed into Hayley responded to the newest addition to their little awkward party, she couldn't help but look at the dog, and smile for a second before walking away.

She walked past the first stranger she met, and towards the showers, or the locker rooms. Hayley did not really care about the both of them, nor did she have to. The woman had to realize she knows nothing about the first stranger, yet this new person who arrived. "Be thankful that I let you and your dog in. If I wanted to kill you, I'd have left you outside for those creatures to eat you up."

The words that escaped her lips were constant reminder about Clyde, and how she left him up there in the apartment building she escaped from. That place was crawling with the dead, and he was probably one of them by now.

Turning around, now standing next to a door that's was open and led to the beds, the showers and the locker rooms in the fire house, she spoke up again. "As you can see, there is no food here. This place has been looted, abandoned. There's nothing here but water, beds to sleep on and showers. Which I'm about to take.. So feel yourself at home or leave. I dont intend on staying here a second longer than I have to. I'm going to take my shower and hopefully find some new clothes in the locker room to use."

Another sarcastic smile escaped her lips. Hayley was not sure where her sarcastic nature was coming from, but the new blondie must've said the right words to piss her off. Was she even that pissed off towards Clyde? Obviously, she did not trust the both of them, or maybe she trusted the #1 blondie more than the #2 blondie.

Questions, dilemmas and decisions were next on her mind. The brunette was annoyed. 'I just wanna get the hell out of here..' She mentally added to herself, before approaching the locker rooms. Most of them were ransacked, though she was able to find some clothes. A black leather jacket, which was, judging by her own point of view, a female one.

It seemed like there was still some fortune left in store for her. The black female leather jacket, and a white tank top, and black jeans with black boots were tucked away in a bag that was hanging off of a locker room. Though she did check the place much more cautiously and thoroughly to see if there was anything else she wanted.

A genuine smile of relief was plastered on her lips this time. She sighed positively, before whispering to herself. "Thank god.." Taking the clothes from the bag, she threw the knife she found in the kitchen earlier inside it. She had to stay safe and on guard, because one can never know what may happen next.

Grabbing the bag, she couldn't help but comment on how much of a mess the locker room was. 'They must've been in a hurry..' Her mind veered of for a moment, thinking about the people who worked there, and or, if they were still alive out there. A moment or two later, she left the locker room and made her way to the showers.

She checked around the showers for anything that may surprise her, like a dead man or a woman lurking there, ready to bite a part of her body away. There were towels there as well, though not all of them were clean. Now then, the place was also safe, and Hayley eventually decided to check if the showers worked, which they did, and warm water coming out? Yes it did.

"Yes!" She added, before taking her wet clothes of and throwing them to the side, keeping her bag with her new clothes and the knife close to her. It was time to take a shower and clean up. The pleasure of clean water removing the dirt off of her body, the sweat and all, was just fantastic. "I soo.. Needed this."
