Schools out FOREVER!

[Leila Darkmoon]

(( Rping session between Leila and Casey Smith.))

Casey:

*His pace had never quickened but rather he had paced himself as he moved along the streets never moving more than a couple inches than his planned heading towards the housing in the campus area. It was this way until he heard the engine of the car and as the car almost hit him he jumped to the side to avoid getting smashed by the car. Laying on the street face down his eyes closed he finally roused himself from the ground and looked in the direction the car was heading as he found that the occupants were not like these undead monsters but rather survivors. He moved to look towards where they were coming from to see the figures slowly making their way towards them. He raised his weapon only to second guess himself and rest it on his shoulder turning to run towards the car* Hey!! *He made his way to the car as he stopped at the driver's side window. He then stopped and tapped on the window now pointing the muzzle down towards the ground in a show that he wasnt hostile towards them. He then waited for a response..*

Leila:
*Leila watched with wide (slightly glazed over) eyes as the man who was clearly some kind of soldier or policeman stood up and approached her car with a gun in his hand. Shaking all over, she cast a worried glance to Harvey and muttered ~What the hell do I do?~ just as their was a tapping at the window and the man was at her window. The gun was pointed down, away from them, and she hoped that meant that he had no intention to use it on one of them. The fact that he had a gun though made the idea of approaching this man much more appealing, so she wound her window down a crack and peered up at the stranger. Her long blonde hair flowed wildly around her pale face as she chewed on her bottom lip nervously. ~I'm sorry for almost running you over..uh.. officer.. but I was kinda in a rush.. ya know.. given the fact that we have some freaking monster things after us. Do you know what the hell is going on around here?~ She knew that she was babbling but she was neither capable or interested in being quiet any time soon as she stared up at him expectanly for an answer.*

C: *He looked down at her and then knelt a little bit as she spoke and it would have be humorous to him if not for the simple fact of what was going on in the world. He listened intently before he spoke..* Miss.. I am not a police officer. I am Casey Smith and I am a soldier with the urban taskforce of the United States Army. This is a biological problem of high importance to the US. We have to make it out of town. Can any of you handle a gun? *He looked from Leila to Harvey then back to Leila. He had an arsenal on him no doubt and it wasn’t all for him. He didn’t need such overkill for such slow moving targets. But as he could see their numbers and not their speed were their advantage. There was no more risk for infection but there was a risk for death. He just shook his thoughts away. The day was drawing late and they needed a haven to go to escape the night away from these creatures. These people were now top priority to the Government. At least that is what his orders said. He hoped that one soldier and any amount of civilians he could find would be enough to get safely through this city.*

L: * She nodded slightly as she realised he was in the army and a faint smile formed on her lips at the immediate sense of security washed over her in a reassuring wave of safety at the knowledge that a soldier was here to protect them. Shielding her eyes from the sun as she looked at him she arched a brow as he asked if they could handle a gun. ~uh... a gun huh? Well Ive never used one but I kick ass at that shooting game.. I dont know the one.. that ..~she laughed as it dawned on her.~That zombie one... ~*shaking her head, her laugh trailed off as she blushed and looked back at Harvey. She REALY wanted a smoke, and soonish.. but with a soldier now here, she didnt fancy her chances of sneaking off for a quick toke. Glancing back at the soldier who had introduced himself as Casey Smith, she smiled and reached out to unlock her door. Popping it open, she climbed out of her seat, stood up and held out a hand to Casey. ~Im Leila, and this is Harvey. We're students up at the university.. least.. I used to be a student..~ she mumbled something under her breath before continuing. ~So what are those things...seriously?~*

C:*He looked at this.. girl ..well she could be considered a woman but he was in no mood for formalities. He was only here to get through this alive. For everything he had to live for was beyond this predicament. He didn’t smile nor laugh as she spoke of her gaming days. He knew what these college kids were mostly about. Normally he would be a little uneasy in the presence of marijuana but now he actually hoped that these kids had brought some with. Painkillers would be needed at some point and time. He looked at her then and moved back as she got out of the car. He nodded to her shaking her hand. He nodded at Harvey his face staying the same even as she spoke once again with a question.* As I have labeled them.. And you in your mind have also labeled them.. They are zombies.. Dead tissue infected with a virus causing reanimation. As there is no risk for infection anymore we hope only to kill off every single one of them and contain this problem. *He took from his back one of the MP9's and he held it out to her..* A Ruger MP9 and as you are civilians these would be the best for you. Unsilenced and a lower rate of fire they dont pack as much of a punch. But if you shoot those undead bastards in the head they will surely fall. We need to find someplace to fortify ourselves.. I am not advised to move at night but rather do so only during the daytime.

L:*She nodded and glanced over to Harvey. ~Well, Harvey and I are going to Gunworld. Apparently the survivors are meeting up there, however many of us there are. Problem is, I aint too sure exactly where Gunworld is.. ~her blue eyes flickered back and forth between the two men. ~Any ideas guys?~ Taking the offered gun, she glanced down at it, taking special note of the way the gun looked in her hands. She was a hippy by nature, and the thought of violence usually repulsed her and caused her to start an hour long tirade on cruelty and pain, but today.. after what she had just seen, Leila was utterly satisfied by the reassuring weight of the gun in her hands. Glancing back up at the soldier she asked ~ I cant hold a gun and drive at the same time.. you hold on to it for me till we get there?~ Without waiting for an answer, she leant in, pulled her drivers seat forward and gestured for him to hop in the back of the bug.*

C:*He looked to her and didn’t answer at first for he had no idea. He looked at her as she glanced down at the gun staring down at it for a moment. He turned to look to see how the crowd of "zombies" he had seen earlier was advancing and seeing that they were still abit behind he climbed into the bug as she offered taking the MP9 from her. As soon as he was in the back he paced the other MP9 in Harvey's lap. He then sat back and finally spoke..* I don’t know where this Gun World is. I can only advise maybe finding some kind of complex with the smallest amount of people in it and hoping that there is a directory in it to find the address. So unless anyone knows where it is I would suggest we first head to some place as said so that we may fortify ourselves in. *He took the clip out of his M-16 and made sure that nothing look wrong. He pushed the clip back into the AR and loaded a grenade into the launcher. He then looked towards the outside world his ears intent on what they both would say..*

L: She turned the ignition key quickly and grinned maniacly as the bug roared into life. A worried glance in her rearview mirror showed that the zombies were quickly getting closer so Leila steered the bug back onto the road and drove faster towards the heart of the town. She was vaguely sure that Gunworld was somewhere in the commercial district, and it was because of this that she drove in that general direction.

[Elethaire]

Harvey wasn’t to sure about stopping and picking anyone up, but he turned his neck and peered back, he looked normal? No moaning, body parts all accounted for.

"Just be ready to drive off fast…"

He said quietly as the Solider approached, it wasn't long before he was certain he was friendly and Leila was getting out of the car to shake his hand, Harvey leaned forward not wanting to actually step out of the safe little car, safer than the streets anyway, he waved timidly and adjusted his glasses.

"Gun? I shot a rifle once when I went hunting with my uncle when I was like six? Does that count?"

He said in a small voice.

Casey cambered into the car and dropped the gun in Harvey's lap, he stared down at it transfixed, he had seen them enough in movies sure, but using one that was a whole different story,

"Um… not to complain but do you have anything smaller?"

He said turning his neck around as the engine came to life.

((Short i know, and no account for Harvey yet, but soon!))

[Leila Darkmoon]

(( Short rping session for Leila and Casey... We realy need to arrange a time where Harvey can be on at the same time, so we an actually get to Gunworld.. LOL))

Casey_Smith: *He sat down and just looked forward with the stone face that was plastered on him in BT. He didnt have much of a life beyond the walls of the bases he was stationed at all around the world. He had spent his life trying to become an officer so that he may make a career of the Army. But that just wasnt what seemed to be playing in his cards. A civilian life seemed too much for him to think about. He shook himself from this little train of thought as Harvey spoke to him.* Listen man, I picked up the heaviest munitions that I could grab. There is so many damn people in this city and so little bullets we have for the each of us. This gun shop will be a nice place for you to find a 9mm but until then please deal with the MP9 and learn how to use it well. I am counting on you and her for back-up in a situation. I can protect you but only with your help. *He turned his head to look out one of the windows. Being in this small space reminded him of helicopter drops overseas. He never thought that he would be fighting in his own backyard against the very people that he risked his life everyday to protect. And he did this all without the knowledge of if they even cared about the sacrifice he was willing to make just so they wouldnt have to live as some of the world does. He did not fight for a president, a general in a big comfy chair, and he didnt fight for politics that he thought were bullshit. No he was a purebred patriot fighting for people who some realized and took advantage with appraisal of their freedom and also others who took it forgranted and fucked up the image he fought so hard to protect. These were the thoughts running through his mind just to keep his mind off of the people walking the streets so slowly...so deadly*

Leila_Darkmoon: *As she drove through the near empty streets, Leila had to slow the bug down to just over 50 so that she could swerve around the few cars that littered the streets. While some of them were parked at the curb, others were left with doors open and headlights blazing, the soft yellow glow giving the bloodsmeared windscreens an almost rosy hue. Leila's stomach turned violently at the sight of the blood, and her blue eyes flickered back to the road ahead of her before darting to glance in the rearview mirror. The soldier who had introduced himself as Casey was quite a well built guy, and his bulk in the tiny back seat left little room for her rearveiew mirror to do its job. All it did do was show her how blue his own gaze was. Pulling her eyes away from his quickly, she took a deep breath and concentrated on the road ahead of her while she listened to Casey and Harvey talk. She arched a brow as she was referred to as "her" before her ice blue eyes locked with his once more in the mirror as she gazed back at him. ~ We can back you up.. dont worry about that..~ she said, with far more conviction than she actually felt. ~I just need to find this GunWorld place... I think its somewhere up ahead, so keep your eyes peeled boys..~*

[arielsandon]

* Unsure of where the gun shop was, this was her first time in New york after all, she crosses the street and heads in the general direction. Some vacation, if her roomate were not dead she would of killed her. What was goig on? When she went to sleep last night everything seemed normal. She had even met a guy at a bar that promised to call her. Not much chance of that now. Looking aorund she pulled out her map and tried once agian to locate the Gun Shop. * Alright. .I think it;s over that way. * Folding her map back, she headed down the street. Pushing a lose strand of her red hair from her head, she stops walking and slowly turns around. Something smelled horrible and she did not think it was the sewers. Picking up her pace, she dashed across the next street, right in front of a moving car. *

[Leila Darkmoon]

*Leila crept along at 50 miles per hour as her glazed blue eyes peered up at the store fronts around her. She was in the main commercial district now, and Leila was sure that Gun World was around here somewhere. It had to be! There was an army disposal place on the corner, as well as store promising to have all your camping needs. To Leilas drug induced mind, it made sense for the same people that were into army and camping stuff to be the same people that bought guns, hence her fairly certain assumption that Gun World was near by.

So intent on finding her destination was she, that Leila failed to see the girl run out in front of the bug before it was almost too late. She was instantly grateful that she had been driving so slowly, as she slammed her foot down on the brakes and came to a quick stop. Shooting Harvey a withering look, Leila hissed ~What is it about people stepping out in front of me today?!~

She followed her natural instinct - which was to check if the girl was alright, and put her hand on the door handle to let herself out before it occurred to her that the girl could be another zombie. Snatching her hand off the door handle and locking the door instead, Leila looked first to Harvey, and then to Casey in her rearview mirror.

~Do you think shes a human? Should we get out and check? Can someone else check? Cause I... Uh.... I should stay in the drivers seat ya know? Just in case we need to make a quick gettaway..~ she was babbling again, and she bit down hard on her bottom lip to shut herself up. Tasting blood, Leila looked back and forth between the two men before glancing back out her window to see if she had hit the girl or not. *

[Elethaire]

Harvey sat back slightly offended as Casey answered him, it made him feel like he was being spoken to by a teacher or a lecturer and he hated the way 'authority' figures talked to him, He grumpily pushed his glassed higher onto the bridge of his nose and turned to look closely at Leila as she was driving, her eyes were a little bloodshot

"Are you feeling ok?"

He managed to say quietly before he saw the girl run into Leila's path

"STOP!"

He yelled feebly as Leila slammed the breaks on, he clutched his chest in fright and looked carefully at the girl; he turned to Leila again and nodded

"I'll go"

He said far too quickly, he wanted to prove to solider-man he wasn't just some mixed up kid, just because he asked for a smaller gun didn't make him any less a man. He sighed and opened his door, clutching his gun tight in his hands, he walked towards the girl, she looked human enough.

"Are you ok?"

He said quietly looking around to make sure there were no Zombies, but he could distinctly hear groans somewhere.

[arielsandon]

* Seeing the car come to a screeching halt in front of her nearly had her heart stopping. Seeing people inside was almost too much to take. As a person stepped out she thought she heard him ask if she was okay. Stunned for a moment, she slowly nodded.At that point she noticed that they really did look human, not like everyone else she had seen. Throwing caution to the wind, she hurled her tiny frame at the guy giving him a big hug, tears streaming down her face. * Your real.. like alive and everything? Your the only people i have seen today that were not.. decaying. I woke up and my best friend was just sitting in her chair stareing off into space but she wasn;t herself. It was almost like she was rotting or something .I tried to talk to her but she did not answer. Then i looked out the window and saw.. oh it was horrible. I left.. I heard the message on my phone and tried to find the shop but this is my first day in this City and i'm lost. * She spoke so fast that it might of been hard to catch some of the words but the meaning was clear. Fear. She was lost in a city she had never been too, her best friend was a zombie.. and finailly she had found humans. * I'm sorry I should not be acting like this but this has never happened to me before. * Still she clung to him, so grateful to find living people. *

[Casey Smith]

His eyes fell upon Leila as she was driving and he got the sudden twinge that he would be better off jogging to this "gun world". He knew that she was a college kid and he knew exactly what was going on here, it wasnt like he couldnt smell it. His thoughts drifted to his own well being. He was only rocked back to reality as he saw the girl and the car all of sudden stopped. He looked at Leila instantly ready to get out of the car even before she asked if someone else would check if the girl was human. Before he could react he watched Harvey get out of the car and approach the girl. He was still following behind him getting out of the car with his M-16 point towards the girl. He then saw that she was speaking and he put the gun on safety and slung in around his body so that it rested against his back. He stood there as the girl hugged Harvey he then saw from an alley nearby shadows and then finally those undead bastards were flowing out from the alleyway. He quickly went up to the two and grabbed each one by the arm being sure of a firm grip not caring if it hurt them because he wanted them both of know he meant business. He pulled them back forcefully back towards the car.

"Get in the damn car. There isnt going to be enough room for both me and the girl in the back. You guys get back in that car and get moving to Gunworld. I will make sure to meet you guys there." He looked from Harvey to the girl before looked towards the zombies getting close to them. "Get your asses moving!!! Thats an order!"

He turned around from them and ran forward to a thick metal pole housing a street light. The zombies were closing in abit quick. He cocked the launcher on the underside of his gun and let loose a grenade round into the first 20 or so sending decaying body parts everywhere. He pulled his gun closer to him and clicked it off safety and bringing it to his shoulder he ran closer and closer to the newest emergants just a few feet in the alleyway. He continued to shoot heads as he rushed in farther into the alleyway until finally all that could be heard coming from it was the shots echoing throughout the small space.

[Leila Darkmoon]

*Leila watched with wide glazed eyes as Harvey leapt out of the bug, followed closely by the soldier Casey. Although the car was stopped, Leila still had the engine running which was fortunate as she could hear that familiar groaning growing alot closer to the three people that were standing in front of her car.

The girl had her arms around Harvey and was clinging to him like a little girl lost, and Leila could not help but roll her eyes at the whole helplessness of the situation. Everyone was talking outside too quietly for Leila to hear and she wound her window down enough to hear Casey yelling at Harvey and the girl to get in the car. She heard him say there wasnt room enough in the car for him and the girl, and with a sinking heart she watched the soldier shoot some rocket thingy into the alleyway before he disappeared into the darkness under a shower of bullets.

~There goes salvation.. ~ she mumbled at the same time that a knowing grin formed on her lips. ~Oh well, least I can have a smoke now..~ Fumbling in her pocket, she pulled out her small purple pipe, lighter and baggie. In a few seconds, she had expertly packed the pipe and had taken two quick tokes of it while she stared after the soldier, hoping he would return. But he did not. Groaning outloud, she glanced fearfully in the rearview mirror and jumped in her seat as she saw a whole horde of zombies less than ten feet away.

~HURRY UP AND GET IN THE CAR!!~ She screamed, shoving the pipe, baggie and lighter back into her pocket and blasting her horn as she waited for Harvey and the girl to get back in the bug. *

[Elethaire]

Harvey held the girl tightly, and tried to lift her up.

"No Casey! there's room! we'll chuck the guitar out!"

He shouted at Casey but it was already too late, he began to half lead half drag the terrified girl towards the car, he could hear moaining growing louder than he saw in the horizon like some sort of perverse ocean the army of Zombies that were heading there way, He opened the door and more or less threw the girl in the back seat before clampering back in the passenger

"Is there really time for that!?"

He said accusingly at Leila...

[arielsandon]

Terrified beyoned belief, but happy to of found real live people, Ariel looked at the zombies closing in* we can;t leave him out there. they will kill him. Wait.. were supposed to go to a gun shop? Did anyone else get that message. I do not know where it is but I have a map if that helps. * She pulled the map out of her pocket and tossed it in the front. What is going on here? * She looked out after Casey as he ran towards the Zombies a shudder passed through her at the shots. * Oh great.. make them anrgy why don;t you. there are more of them then there are of us.

[Leila Darkmoon]

*She offered a nervous smile as the girl scrambled into the car, and Leila puleld Harveys seat forward so that she could jump into the backseat. Once she was settled, she pulled the seat forward for Harvey before picking up the map that the girl threw in the front seat.

~OH perfect! Just what we need! And yes Harvey.. there is always time for a quick smoke.. helps me think. Now..~ her brow creased as she scanned the map quickly and muttered to herself. ~Okay.. right.. thats Sanderson Street... theres Johnson... the bridge.. okay .. OKay! I know where I am now! Give me a second... ~ After a few more precious seconds, Leila gave the map back to the girl and smiled. ~That realy helped, thanks! Names Leila by the way.. this hero here is Harvey, and yes... we are headed to Gun World. Thanks to your map, I know exactly where it is.. so buckle up kiddies!~

With a wild glance in her rearview she cackled ~ Lets get this show on the road!~ as she released the clutch, popped the bug into first and eased her foot down on the accelerator. As she drove past the alleyway where the soldier had disappeared, she cast a nervous glance down the alley, but all she could see was darkness and the occasional flare of a gunshot. *

[Elethaire]

Harvey felt terrible as they drove off, he clutched the seats tightly, his head resting against the head rest, his heart was still painfully thumping in his chest, the M-9 Sat on his lap. What would they do now, they were alone in New York with everyone turned into groaning, drooling monsters.

"Ok, lets just get there alive..."

He said raising a hand to rest it on the roof, he turned around to see if the girl was alright

"Are you ok?"

He muttered feebly.

[arielsandon]

Yes i'm fine. thank you for stopping for me. My name is Ariel Sandon. If you watch horse raceing then chances are you have herd of me. I had three winners at Deleware Park this year. First trip to new York, i have to say it is not what I thought it would be.
* She sits back agianst the seat and glances out the window. Nervously she twists a piece of her red hair around her fingers.* So are survivors going to this gun shop. I hope that more than just us show..

[Leila Darkmoon]

*Leila drove through the streets of the comercial district, slightly faster now that she knew where she was going. Nodding at Ariels words she said. ~Yeah, thats what we figure.. we just heard the same message as you, so we dont know whats going on either.. That soldier guy that was with us before.. he said they are zombies, if ya can believe that... freaking stink whatever they are.~

Rounding the corner, a huge grin appeared on her lips as her eyes widened in awe at the huge Gun World sign that was now right before her. Looking around for somewhere to park, she called out

~ This is the place! You guys see a carpark anywhere? I dont want to leave the bug out on the street if I can help it...~ *
