Contamination

[David Le Fox]

"Yeah... sure" *Connor says, still pointing the gun at the intruder* "Don't try and do anything stupid now, and keep your distance when leaving"

[Nishjin]

(Opposite of Fallout? Yes please!)

Walking through the subway tunnel, Nishjin sees another stop. 'Wonder how this town is gonna be.'
Shifting his backpack, he emerges into the light, observing the town.
Noticing a supermarket with its windows broken, he frowns. This place was already raided.
Yawning a bit, he heads toward an inn. Clutching his nunchucks, he opens the door a bit, listening for any sounds.
'I can't waste any bullets, so let's hope anyone in here won't be down a hall.'

"Hold the phone.." He switches his aim to folic. "Curious.. VERY curious...." The entire time, he never had his finger on the trigger.

[Grovygrunge]

(there's a ooc for this kinda stuff guys)

Xander nodded and gave a dismissive wave of his hand. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say. It was nice meeting you and thanks for not blowing my brains out." With that, he made his way back to the door he kicked in.

*Connor sighs, waits for the intruder to leave and rushes out the apartment, for all he knows that guy could have been lying about not coming back*

Geoff wandered the streets as he contemplated where to go next. The world seemed far quieter than he expected. A huge contrast compared to the horror stories he was told while in hiding. So far he had only seen a few people since he emerged a few days prior, but he kept his distance to save the risk. Perhaps a decade was enough for the calm to set in...
He zoned out in thought with his eyes upon the cracked pavement as he walked. He brought his gaze up briefly just in time to catch a glimpse of the people around the apartment building right ahead of him. He took a hesitant step around the corner to quickly prepare himself. They had to be friendly. Please be friendly...

He took a deep breath and continued his walk toward the people with the most neutral expression he could manage. Looking threatening was a bad idea, but looking scared could make him a target and looking happy would make him a madman.

*Connor runs out of the apartment building, not noticing any other people, he ran to the building across the road, trying to beat the intruder, who's identity is unbeknownst to him out the building to see what he does, Connor peaks out the door to the building, only now noticing that there was other people there*

[Nishjin]

Stretching out, Nishjin sighed.
"Another day, another town to scavenge in hopes of finding food..."
He peeked out of the window of the room he found and stared a few blocks away.
There seemed to be a ruckus going on at an apartment building, with one lone figure walking towards it.
One guy ran into a building across the road, seemingly running from someone else.
"Well, now. This just got interesting."
Nishjin heads out the door towards the group, wondering what would transpire.

[Winter98]

"....May as well say hello." Prophet slung his rifle across his back, and slowly pushed himself down off the beam. After collecting his bag, he headed out of the house heading toward connor- and inadvertently toward Nishjin

[VioletKitten]

Violet very rarely ventured into the heart of the old city's sure there would be quite a bit of food and gear there but she knew thats what others would think. Bringing her left hand to her lips she quickly licked up some blood that remained on her claws, she was only 12 when the world 'ended' and due to a  cruel twist of fate the only one of her family not hit by the attack. To say that she grew up doing anything to survive was an understatement and hunting and killing other weaker creatures was one of those things. She crouched down and started looking through some of the bags that were strewn around a smoldering fire pit. "First rule, dont ever make your presence known..." she mumbled to herself before pulling out some bandages and antiseptic. "Jackpot." Her tail quickly wrapped around what was left of the body behind her and tossed it onto the fire to kill the flames and smoke.

Her gaze turned towards the larger buildings that marked the city and then back the way she came "Dont have much of a choice do I? I cant go around it would take way too much time." After securing her backpack she ran up towards the nearest building and leaped up her  claws digging into the weakening concrete underneath the vines "Ally-oop" as she started to scale the building with surprising dexterity...using it as a direct route deeper into the city as having some height gave her a distinct advantage in staying hidden.

Xander paused in the street as the guy he was just held up by switched location to... right across from where he was a few moments ago. Lucky for him, he doesn't have anything obviously useful and Xander didn't particularly feel like holding a grudge at the moment. What was having a gun pointed at your head anyways? Nothing. Fairly common greeting when everyone is one edge. Taking a moment to stop idly thinking and instead look down the street he noticed a couple people approaching. "Oh this'll probably be good." he muttered to himself.

[David Le Fox]

*Connor notices that the intruder didn't try anything, thankfully, though there is now too much unwanted attention right outside of his house, he exits through the back door and goes into the alleyway, facepalming as he realizes that he left all of his gear in his house, he whispers to himself* "Guess I'm going to have to talk to the stangers outside, or atleast get past them without them caring, pfft yeah, like they're just going to ignore me" *Connor exits through the front door*

[The Past]

Geoff had no idea what the hell he was thinking. What was the point of walking toward these people? Passing through just to say hi? He was painfully lonely, despite having plenty of years to get used to it, but the idea of becoming friends with these strangers was moronic. They'd more likely steal his stuff or prepare him for dinner. Optimism will be the death of him someday.

It was time to accept fate and roll with it. The bear raised his hand with a weak wave in the general direction of the group and a softly spoken "hey", but it came out like a whispered breath.

[Nishjin]

Nishjin stops walking as he realizes that he is surrounded on all sides by people. He thought the bear said something, but he wasn't sure.
He decided to be straightforward, because earning friends in this wasteland was invaluable. "Wassup?!"
Only after the greeting slipped his mouth did he think that these people might be together and just ambushed him.
'Nah, they look too spread out.'

[Grovygrunge]

Xander relaxed slightly as the awkward bear squeaked out his 'hey', clearly these people wouldn't cause too many problems after all. "Er... Hello?"
