Ellowyn grinned "It's all settled then." she said as she opened the doors to the van. She ushered the dog out and he went around sniffing at everyone around. "I'll put the dog in the front with JR." She opened the van door and whistled for the dog to come back over and he happily complied and climbed into the seat next to Jethro. Jethro grinned and reached over and petted the creature fondly before turning on the engine of the van.rnrn "Hope y'all won't mind sitting in the back with me." She opened the van doors motioned for the others to go in. When they climbed inside she followed and closed the door. "Let's roll out." Jethro said turning the wheel and pulling out the park. He leaned out the window and motioned for Zakeru to follow.rnrn ((Thats not really powerplaying is it?))

[[ Nope. ]]
Sethera climbed before the others and settled in one of the seats in the back. Ariskye moved to follow suit, but Draek stopped her and held out one hand. With a faint scowl, she handed over the two guns one at a time. Feeling slightly better now that Ariskye did not have anything that shot a projectile, Draek allowed her to climb into the van before following suit.
He noticed the van give slightly as more weight in the form of Ellowyn stepped aboard as she closed the door behind them. Then, they were all moving.
Zakeru flashed the single light on the chopper a few times, signalling that he saw before moving the bike to follow the van. But only after giving it a few taps of the gas which caused it to growl lightly underneath him. |

((Is Draek calling Elle fat? XD))
Jethro nodded when he saw the chopper flsh and he continued up the street. He kept his eyes focus on the rod but he didn'r want to put his headlights on, sometimes not knowing what was in the dark was better. He looked over at Beast who was sitting straight up, on alert for anything. Jethro turned back uneasily to the road and turned the headlights on, they were dim he had made sure of that when he put in old bulbs. He looked around the street, there was a reson he didn't drive at night.
Ellowyn sighed and twirled one of the curls on her ponytail. She looked over at the two newer people. She could feel Jethro uneasiness, so to take her mind off of it, she tried small talk. "So...where are you two from?" She asked looking from riskye to Drek.
((I apologize if there re any a's missing. I think theres something under the key XP))

[[ O.O
Draek; What!? Hell no!
XD
And can't you take the key off to clean underneath it? -headtilt- And I'm derping with Zakeru...]]
The uneasiness of the car was very palpable. Most of it was coming from Jethro anyways, but Seth still felt the same. He kept his yellow eyes glued to the window as he watched the buildings go by.
Draek glanced at Ellowyn, slightly surprised by her question. But he was downright shocked when Ariskye answered for him. "Boston, Mass.," she had said as she turned her head slightly to glanced at the other woman through the veil of black hair.
Zakeru followed the van. |

((Well it's my laptop so, I don't really wanna try XP))
Aven nodded when the other woman responded. She ws honestly surprised, she would have thought the guy to be more talkative one. "How far did it take you two to get here then?"
Jethro scratched at his chin s he heard Ellowyn's mindless chatter, it was making him feel even worse. Small talk was the most pointless thing in the wold. It was a good thing he had reached their small apartment building. He turned the dim headlights off and pulled to a stop infront of the building. He looked over at Beast who now seemed in a better mood seeing as he was now home. Jethro grinned slightly and looked back at Ellowyn. "We're here." He opened up his door and whistled softly for the dog to follow.
He pulled a key from his pocked and walked up the building. It ws so obviously modified, he and Dyson had mde sure it was safe. They hd boarded up ll the windows on the first floor and sealed off the doors. They had put up a metal grate to protect the front door and installed solar panels on the roof. Jethro was sure glad that the kid was into all that nerdy stuff. He pulled the fence wy then moved to open the actual door to the building. Then he stepped inside not bothering to hold it open for anyone but the dog.
Ellowyn nodded when Jethro said they arrived. SHe looked at the others and smiled slightly before opening th van door. She saw Jethro quickly open everything before stepping in without waiting for anyone else. "We'll y'all can head on in. This is a safe area so you shouldn't have to worry about the zombies."
((BTW I fail at geography, I don't even know my Candian geo, so I have no idea where Boston is XP))

OoC://
Boston is in Massachusetts which is close-ish to Cape Cod. And its fine. Whenever I have a question with something, I just google it and be all liek "Oh, there it is," on whatever maps Google/Wiki shows me.
BiC;//
Ariskye cocked her head. "Six hours," she responded. Glancing at Draek, she saw that her male companion was surprised that she had spoken. She smirked at him and he scowled. Making a strange motion with her nails, Draek proceeded to frown before shrugging one shoulder.
Sethera watched the Ariskye and Draek with a strange fasicnation. They seemed to be have a full-blown conversation through a few gestures that did not look like sign language at all. His yellow eyes widened slightly when she shot Draek the bird. But the older male didn't get angry as Sethera expected. He just smiled and chuckled softly.
"We're here."
Jethro's voice snapped Sethera out of his semi-trance and glanced at Ellowyn who had opened up the sliding door on the van. His yellow eyes turned back towards Ariskye and Draek as they moved out of the van; backpacks in tow. He slipped on his own and followed after them.
Zakeru stopped to one side of the van. He turned off the single headlight and the engine before setting out the kickstand. Straddling the bike slightly, he pulled out the keys and dismounted the bike. He walked up to Ellowyn just as she said, "We'll y'all can head on in. This is a safe area so you shouldn't have to worry about the zombies."
He smirked. "Thank god. I don't want to wake up finding an undead nibbling at my toes."
Draek snorted. "Boy, you'd loose your leg first," he said as both he and Ariskye moved towards the door of the building. A slightly bewildered Sethera in tow.

((I really need to proof read my work. I typo like crazy DX))
Ellowyn grinned at the two mens exchange and shook her head. She waited for them to go inside before she closed the fence back and locked it. She then followed the others in. She didn't see Jethro and assumed he went upstairs for a smoke. She tugged on her curly hair for a moment and chewed on her lip. She hadn't had this many people in one room for quite a while, she felt awkard.
She cleared her throat akwardly and smiled a moment. "So you guys can take any of the apartments upstairs. Most of the rooms are clear. The stuff with the military propaganda is mine, the room full or spare technological stuff is my brothers." She thought about the room, it was a mess so she doubted nyone would go in there anyways. "Also Jethro has some rooms locked for whatever reasons."
She honestly had no idea why they were and she didn't want to ask.
"Anyways, feel free to go upstairs. Electricity works, there's hot water and such just don't go crazy. You'll overload whatever the system and I don't know how to fix it."
She nodded once before hurring up the stairs to the second floor. The place was a mess. All the doors on this floor were wide open and the junk they had dragged out was in the hallways. There was someone's couch, and a few recliners, one of which Beast claimed and was now lounging on it. Not to mention her brother junk. She cringed and quickly tried to shove everything into the nearest room with her foot before quickly reaching into her pocket and pulling out her keys to lock the door. She'd deal with that mess later.
Jethro shook his head slightly as he watched Ellowyn shove things away. He was in one of the rooms that they had converted just for recreation. That room had the only functional kitchen, with all the good appliciances that Dyson hadn't stripped down. It also had the only working TV, and a game system, though they hardly used that.
"Cleaning up Princess?" He asked looking up for the coffee from his cup. She made face before taking his mug and taking a drink. She made a face when she handed it back and shook her head. "I have no idea how you can drink that straight up." He grinned and shrugged.
((Kinda abrupt ending...))

[[ -chuckles- ]]
The four had listened to what Ellowyn had to say and when she hurried up the stairs, they just looked at each other for a good solid minute, thinking about all kinds of different thinks until Sethera broke off and bounded up the stairs. His yellow eyes were glowing with some kind of happiness he couldn't even begin to describe. But it had been quite some time when he could lay down in a bed and actually feel safe.
The second floor was cluttered with stuff, but that didn't deter him, he quickly found another flight of stairs and bounded up that. The first door he came to was unlocked and open to reveal an apartment that had been moderately stripped. He shrugged slightly and entered it before closing the door half way. He set his backpack on a couch that had seen better days and sat down next to it, fulling relaxing into its cushions. He leaned back and stayed that way for several minutes before opening the backpack and pulling out one of many sketchpads. Flipping to an empty page, he pulled out a soft-granite pencil and began to sketch out images on the white surface.
Zakeru watched as Sethera disappeared up the steps. He sighed and closed his orange eyes before rubbing the bridge of his nose. The urge to smoke was coming back even though he placated it with a quick break some hours before. Opening his eyes slightly he pulled out an almost empty package of cigarettes and pulled one out with his teeth. Replacing the box with a lighter, he moved towards the closed fence and leaned against the wall before he lit up. Pulling in a deep drag, he exhaled with a sigh. Yea, that felt a whole lot better. After this, he'd go find a bed to crash in.
Ariskye wrinkled her nose when she saw Zakeru lighting up. Her crimson eyes narrowed slightly and she turned to follow Draek when he moved up the stairs. "Hey, Serpent," she said, her voice inching up in the questioning tones.
Draek sighed, but kept on moving. "No you may not hurt the cop if he annoys the hell out of you," he replied to her question before it actually came out. She growled behind him and he smirked. He had guessed right. But, he stopped on the second floor landing and turned to his little sister. "Swords. Now."
Ariskye snarled at that. Hell no! He could confiscate her Glocks, but not her swords. But, he moved as a blur in her vision and before she knew it, she saw her swords in his hands. Well, just the sword hilts since the entire blade was retractable. Her crimson eyes widened as she blinked. "Draek! Give them back!" she growled as she attacked him. But he danced away and dashed up another flight of stairs with a twinkle in his own crimson eyes.

Ellowyn looked back when she suddenly saw everyone bound up the stairs at once. She shook her head slightly and sighed. "Well would you look at that JR, looks like you're gonn bunk on the second floor." She grinned referring to the fact that they had apartments on the third floor.
He cringed and shook his head taking the last bit of his coffee. "I need a smoke." He said moving further into the room. "Hey make sure you lock up my liquor cabinet." She said following after him. He chuckled slightly. "Why you afraid the other will want all of this?" He opened the door and his eyes went wide. Her 'collection was full. A few bottles looked like they were going to fall off the shelves. "Kid you are an alcoholic." He said. She had been expanding since her brother, as she put it, 'left'.
"Don't judge cop." She pouted. "You never said anything about DJ spare parts collections." He shook his head.
"But his collection was helpful. Yours will only get you wasted." He closed it and locked it nonethesless. She made sure there was a a lock on it on all times. So even he couldn't get in if he wanted. She held her hand out for the key expectantly. He didn't want to give it too her, he'd seen her at her worst. She once drunk enough she could have died, that was when her brother left. Since then, she'd drank about a bottle a day. He wondered what it did to her inside, but then again. He was a smoker, so he shouldn't judge. He handed her the key and brushed past her. Heading up the roof.
She rolled her blue eyes and followed after. Whistling to get Beast's attention. His ears perked up. "C'mon boy. Up, up." She said. The dog barked and ran up the stairs immidiately heading to the roof.
Jethro pushed the door open and stepped out holding it for the dog to rush past, then Ellowyn. She grinned. "Oh score!" she exclimed seeing her bottle of vodka from earlier was still there. She opened it and took a big swig. He shook his head and pulled his own stuff out of his pocket and lighting up. He then went and sat at the edge of the building, dangling his legs.
Ellowyn sighed, "You really gonna smoke that nasty thing?" Jethro raised an eyebrow and looked bck at her. "True." She sighed. "Look I'm gonna get some sleep." She picked up the bottle and petted the dog. "Wanna come with me Beastie?" She said mkaing that voice everyone makes when talking to animals and children. The dog barked once more and jumped, following her down the stairs back to the second floor. She hummed to herself as she walked up the hall noticing one of the rooms had a closed door.
She opened her own door and closed it behind her. She sighed when she saw the shrine she had pretty much created . There was the flag from her fathers funeral, and his dress blues. She shook head and went into her room and quickly pulled on blue pajama pants with rubber duckies on it and a grey tank top. She scratched at the tatoo on her back before pulling her hair out of the pony tail and headed back outside down to the second floor and sat down on one of the couches in the hallway. Allowing the dog to climb on and rest his head on her lap. She raised the bottle to her mouth and wondered if Zakeru had come upstairs yet. She hd seen shy little Seth and the duo, but she hdn't seen him.
((I have no idea how to be social. Like at all. Also Happy Valentines Day XD))

[[ Seth's no li--
Yea he is. :3
Me neither, but I just act like myself. People like me better when I am like that. Thankies~ The same to you~ ]]
Sethera froze when he heard Ariskye's and Draek's loud yelling from the hall. From the sound of it, he had something that belonged to her. He waited for a few seconds and heard a baritone laugh being muffled by a couple walls. They had probably found an open apartment as well. Not that it concerned him at all. With a small shrug, Sethera went back to his sketch. The paper now showed five humanoid shaped people and a quad. But as he continued to tighten up the lines, it became clear to him that he could no longer keep his eyes open.
He flipped the sketchbook closed and set it on the scratched up coffee table with the pencil sitting on top. Then he kicked off his shoes and pulled off his sweatshirt before crumbling it into a ball and placing on the backpack. He was too tired to make it to the bed, so as soon as his head sank into the self-made pillow, his yellow eyes closed and he fell into sleep.
The room Ariskye and Draek had decided to dominate showed signs of their presence. Both black backpacks were on the floor and one had recently been open. Inside an assortment of different stuff could be seen. But instead of talking, it was the shuffling of cards that sounded throughout the room.
"Whoever as all the cards gets to keep the swords," Ariskye said as she watched Draek shuffle.
"Yes of course," he replied, dealing out the cards. When he was done, she held half the deck and so did he. The Jokers were out and sitting on the floor.
"Ready... Set... Go!" they both said in unison as they both slapped down their first cards. And so the game of War began.
When Zakeru had finished the cig, he tossed it out the gate and listened as it hissed when it landed conveniently in a puddle of water. Coughing slightly, he rubbed his throat slightly and replaced the lighter in its hidden compartment. Then, he slowly walking up the stairs.

((Lol every one I said that to was like 'Ugh why is it so special' XD))
Ellowyn raised an eyebrow when she heard a noise from upstairs. What the hell were they doing up there? She ran her free hand through her loose curls and raised the bottle back to her head. Before that would have been her and her brother making that noise, most likely followed by her breaking something and him yelling while Jethro smoked in the corner laughing at them.
She sighed and raised the vodka back to her lips. She'd already drank half the bottle, the burn now soothing as it went down her throat. She looked over at stairs when she heard a noise. Beast shifted slightly so he could at the stairwell. "Hush." she commanded laying her hand on his back. She took another sip when she realized it was only Zakeru. "Hey." she said, the dog rested his head back down. "Most of the others picked rooms on the second floor." She motioned up with her bottle free hand.

Zakeru glanced up at Ellowyn's voice. His orange eyes widened slightly. Then, he nodded once. "Arigatōgozaimasu," he murmured in Japanese. As he moved towards the next flight of stairs, he noticed the bottle in her hands and cocked a brow. "Isn't drinking... ya'know... bad for you?" he asked as he stopped. Then he realized he probably should be speaking since he was essentially killing his lungs with each cigarette he head. Plus, he was pretty damn sure he smelled like smoke.
[[ If you happen to not know what "Arigatōgozaimasu" means, he is saying "Thank you." :3 ]] |

((Lol yeah I know that. Doesn't everyone from watching Animes?))
Ellowyn raised an eyebrow when he muttered something but she nodded anyways before taking another swig. She the grinned when she lowered the bottle and heard his question. She ran her hand through her curls once more and shrugged. "I guess so." she said before smiling slightly. "But you smell like smoke so should you really be talking?" she chuckled slightly and shook her bead and looked down at her now almost empty bottle.
"Anyways I always drink so you'll get used to it." She smiled slightly looking back up at him. Hey might as well admit it, at least he knew that she knew she was an alcoholic. Thirteen steps right? She chuckled inwardly at the thought. "She could never make it past the first step. She had a problem but she didn't need help. She was quite happy the way she was.

[[ Back~
Dude. Nice signature. :3 ]]
Zakeru smirked. "I realized that after I spoke and regretted it afterwards," he said. Then, he shrugged slightly. "Then I guess smoking is similar to drinking. But one gets you wasted and the other, high." He scratched his neck for a moment. He ought to go look for a place to rest right about now. He was tired as hell and felt like he was about to pass out. With a shrug, he said, "Well, good night," before walking up the second flight of stairs.
As he passed a semi-closed door, he peaked in to see Sethera sleeping on the couch. Brows furrowed and he stopped before backpedaling to open the door and enter the apartment. Zakeru crossed his arms against his chest and grinned slightly. "Shōnen wa kuso. Anata ga hierudaro?" he asked to the room in general while talking in Japanese. Shaking his head slightly, he moved around the apartment on his hunt for a blanket. Eventually he found one and brought it over to the sleeping boy before draping it over him.
"Oyasumi, Sethera," Zakeru murmured before going to one of the back bedrooms. He closed the door behind him and stripped out of his jackets while taking off his shoes before collapsing on to the bed. Through the walls, he could hear Ariskye and Draek complain about something in infrequent periods. He assumed they were playing a game of some sort since he heard things slapping down on a table. That was also the last thing he heard before sleep took him.
[[ Zakeru is saying "Damn boy. Don't you get cold?" and "Good night, Sethera." :3 ]]

((Well it's my Sixteenth, people should be excited XD))
"Nighty-night." Ellowyn said to the boy when he turned to leave. She looked down at the dog on her lap. It was high time she went to bed too/ She scratched the dog behind his ears before she shifted and moved the dog off her lap and went up the stairwell Zakeru had just went up. She walked to her apartment at the end of the hall and went into her room before collapsing on her bed. She pulled herself under the blanket and pulled her body to the side before patting the spot next to her. The dog jumped up onto the bed and snuggled up next to her.

[[ O.O
I'm roughly two-ish years older than you.
I just realized this.
And I shall be time skipping. ]]
It had taken roughly all night before Ariskye was able to claim her weapons. But by the time the two of them looked at a clock, they realized it was too late to sleep. Draek muttered a choice expletive in Greek and pushed himself to his feet and walked over to one of the backpacks to pull out a can of Monster. He tossed it over to Ariskye as he pulled another out another can.
Opening the can, he drank about half the contents before turning to his sister who looked like she had just drained it. "You'll have to use the bathroom in an hour," he observed with a smirk. She just shot him the bird as she rose to her feet.
"D'ya think anybody else is awake?" she asked. Draek only shrugged. |

((Lol I think you mentioned that before XD Or I just assumed you were, because you can drive XP))
Jethro had been the first to wake, though that was probably because he didn't sleep much to begin with.
He had passed out three time when he was on the roof, plagued by nightmares that had caused him to wake, only to pass out again. He wondered how long it would take before he began hallucinating or whatever happened when people are sleep deprived.
He took a sip of the coffee in his mug. He had come down to the Rec rooms kitchen first thing to brew himself a mug, though he decided to make a little extra for whoever else wanted a cup.
He rubbed his temples and leaned against the table. It was another day, and there were strangers in his house. Ellowyn was probably sleeping soundly cuddling that damned dog, seemingly unfazed by the people in the apartment. For all he knew, they could be criminals, but that was him just thinking like a cop. Still he didn't want to trust anyone just yet.
When Ellowyn woke she realized she actually had a decent sleep, she didn't wake up to the dog trying to comfort her or Jethro holding her down. Nightmare free sleep. She rubbed her eyes and yawned as she swung her legs over her bed. She looked behind her at the dog which seemed wide awake, probably woke up before her but didn't want to disturb. It amazed her how animals someone's knew people better than they knew themselves.
"Wanna play boy?" she asked the dog. She grinned when she saw his ears perk up. She rubbed his head. "Of course you do."
She stood up and hurried into the bathroom and rushed her teeth quickly, making sure to only use a little toothpaste. It was hard to find some good one that didn't seem to suspicious to use. Then again it was hard to find alot of things and they were constantly searching. She kept her pajamas on but covered her upper body with a loose hoodie. She grabbed an old tennis ball and tossed it up the hall for the dog to follow. This was what they did every morning. To hell if anyone was bothered.
