[info]eideard

[this young man has been squatting in this mid-sized city for a few days now, hoping his twin brother will show up. he has enough supplies for a few more days, but after that he'll need to go looking for more.

everything happened so fast a few weeks ago, but eideard adapted quick enough. he believes he has his training to thank for that. two years with swat in the states and then five years with the tactical firearms unit of central scotland police force, he's used to high-risk work. he's certain that his brother is the same way. so he'll continue to wait for him, for a sign.

so he quietly aims his rifle down at a lone walker ambling through the city street below him. he's found a perch on top of an incredibly tall building, a place where he is safe from threat but can still do some major damage. he sucks in his breath, holding it as his cross-hair finds its resting place in between the walkers sunken-in eyes. with the twitch of a finger and a mere split-second later, the walkers head jerks back before slumping to the ground.

eideard pulls the scope of his silenced sniper rifle away from his eye with triumph, then, standing from his crouched position against the waist-high wall he was using to keep his hands steady.]


Ah, an' anither falls. (Ah, and another falls.)

[ since her conversation with raiden the other day, emma has been unable to get out of her mind what they discussed. it wasn't long before she pulled her sister aside to sit her down, get some guns in front of her, and taught her how to dissemble and re-assemble them. from there it moved on to more intermediate gunnery, knives, and then some physical combat instruction. eve at first was wary of this training sessions- of course she went to emma on how to use a gun, but it was just she wouldn't be completely helpless against walkers. they never really went much farther than that. but gradually, she began to get used to it.

once they'd gone through their current availability of weapons, emma thought a bit and realized that raiden often used a silenced pistol. that would be a great teaching tool for eve and she stood up right then to go find raiden. when she does, she approaches him and places her hands on her hips in an authoritative fashion. ]
I need your gun.

[after sleeping in his truck for the night and picking up shelby, the three were off to the next town. hopefully to find alanis's rv waiting for them in some garage. nick still has mixed feelings about abandoning his truck, and is somewhat dreading finding this rv because of it.

when the three reach the next town, it's deserted like all the rest, but there's a few local stores they can check out after getting the rv. he slows down as he takes them through town, glancing over at allie after a moment.]


So, where's this garage?

[aaand back to this group.

it's been a little while since the group found little abigail, and it's quite apparent that the little one has taken a liking to nate, though, she's taking a liking to just about everyone. but nate especially.

so while abbi is helping eve and emma do things in the rv, madi approaches nate outside.]


Hey.

[info]detests

[ ever since the landwide outbreak, shelby's life hasn't changed very much. aside from the lack of his family (his parents are dead, but his two brothers remain at large), he's been able to handle himself and the walking dead people coming at him from time to time. before he was forced to leave home, he was able to grab three handguns, a buck knife, and bagful of ammo. the lifestyle his family chose finally became useful for something.

after days of just wandering around, scrapping for food and shelter, he was surprised and absolutely delighted to reach the road- a highway, where dozens, maybe even hundreds of vehicles were bunched up together for miles. a bird's eye view could tell you that they were all headed toward the state border. they all wanted to leave.

a search of the cars revealed bodies rotting away in their seats, but also luggage, food, basic necessities; anything you might bring on a long trip, shelby could find in each car. he figured he hit jackpot and decided to camp out here for the time being. the area was completely deserted; no walkers in sight. and if he ever ran out of food, the other side of the highway opened to the woods, where he could fetch some berries or kill an animal that had managed to survive. how he'd cook it, he has yet to decide. ]

[ok so, stuff happened that will be added later.

and a few days and towns later, nick and allie have found themselves in the middle of an intense downpour of rain that doesn't seem like it's going to end any time soon. it makes driving impossible, so shortly after the downpour begins he stops his truck and puts it in park. after about ten minutes of waiting and no signs of the weather letting up, he looks over at alanis in the passenger seat.]


... Looks like we're finding shelter here until this rain lets up.

[so after all that happened when nate brought abbi into the group, raiden's been mostly keeping to himself. he's still very irritated over the entire situation, but he's containing his irritation fairly well.

after about a day or two after taking in abbi, they stop to get supplies--the need to keep stocked up is much more important now, but right now he's decided that getting some new duds is a better idea. it's mostly therapeutic. he's used to wearing nice, clean suits, and he's had to live with dirty, wrinkly clothes and jeans since they started on this ridiculous journey to nowhere.

so right now, raiden is in one of the local department stores looking at expensive suits and whatnot. the nice thing about the apocalypse is most men weren't worried about grabbing the most expensive suits out of the stores meaning his favorite brand is still hanging on hangers and folded nicely.]

[ after becoming six in a group, this colorful team moved on toward the next town. it was just as deserted as the last and with even less walkers to handle. after making sure the threat was dealt with, they resumed their custom of hoarding as many supplies as they could from the local stores. when that was done, someone suggested they try looting the houses as well- if only because this supply run wasn't as great as the last few. after a short discussion, they split up and searched different parts of town.

nate was on his own for this one, his gun holstered in favor of holding his knife ready in his hand. if there were any more dead people to deal with, he'd do it quietly. he entered the second house on his run, setting what supplies he gathered from the first out by the front door. all was going fairly well as he rummaged through the living room until a noise he's sure he didn't make himself sounds through the house. he freezes, slowly straightening up and straining his ears to see if he can catch the sound again. hmmm.... ]

[ ever since raiden was separated from the group, they hadn't covered any ground, and still hadn't even when he returned. but now that he was back, safe and sound, they decided to finally move forward. after learning that the next town they were heading toward was the hometown of his parents, nate was on edge. he'd rather be eaten alive by a walker than show it, of course, so he kept up his usual demenor the whole way there. he normally didn't fancy lying to himself like this, but he also didn't want to admit that raiden was right and that he really needed to stop joking around and take a look at the bigger picture. because admitting that would mean he was a step closer to, in his eyes, raiden's calm and lifeless sense of mind.

upon arriving, they decided to split into two groups; raiden and nate would cover ground together while the girls did the same on the other side of town. as the latter walked off, nate quietly checked that his gun was loaded and working properly. ]

[after getting the rv cleaned and up and running, the little group of five have been traveling for the past 35 hours. the first full night on the rv was refreshing, but didn't exactly leave any of them feeling all that safe.

as the second day on the rv begins drawing to a close, they find a decent hotel to stay in--quickly and quietly clearing it out of any lingering walkers. shortly after that, they all noticed a shopping center just across the street and decided to check it out.

madison is currently in one of the clothing stores, trying on different dresses and other girly things. the center is surprisingly empty of walkers so she's having a bit of fun while she can. at the moment she is wearing this and she searches for other dresses to try on, slowly looking through the scattered and strewn about clothes.]
