Alone Together; A Post-Apocalyptic RP

[Dahmun]

It had been three days without an actual lunch or dinner. Abram was starving, they had canned beans just about every day, but they were rationing their food for harsher times, so one can a day for each person was about it. The group found a spot in the woods and camped for the night. There was no real direction for their group other than to live as long as they could.

They were a rag-tag group consisting of men. Some had military background, some were engineers, Abram on the other hand was just a grad student, or at least he used to be. He was in school when the infection had first spread, and tried his best to get home. But it was way too late by the time he reached it, his family was gone, the people in his town who weren’t dead or sick went mad and started doing things they never would have. The young college grad didn't know what to do, so he just left with no real direction or plan, still doing that now even with the group he had come to befriend and know.

“We should get moving soon, right?” Abe suggested looking off into the trees. Abram stood near the tiniest campfire he had ever seen, holding a bow in his right hand and a walking stick in his left. "I've got a feeling we're not alone in these woods, you know." He looked to his friends with a smile, "But I'm sure it's nothing. And if it is something, I'm sure it won't stand a chance with you guys here."

Donny sat a bit away from the camp; not too far off that he couldn't be seen, but he made his own little fire and was working on his own project. Bullets; going to need them if ever find a gun. With the world gone to hell, no one is manufacturing anything. Any sort of power-plant is shut down since no one is around to bother managing them, so there's no hope in finding a factory and using the machines again. Everything was going to need to be done by hand for now, at least until humanity finally decided to stop going ape-shit and try to reconstruct humanity. As he loaded the powder into the shell and covered it with the primer, he checked the fire. Roasting a bit above the flames was a piece of meat. He kept it away from the others; they wouldn't want to eat it anyways. Not too far away from hims was a box, filled with a few things he's been working on. Ever since the disease spread throughout the world, Donny had a lot of time on his hands. Meat was still a bit bloody and he just ran out of primers, so he went to go check the traps. He was no hunter, but he knew a thing or two about IED's; to protect the camp, he hid some improvised explosive devices around the camp, to make sure no one enters. He's been hiding them and leaving them behind in secrete; not even the others in the group knew about them. At least he hopes they don't.

Jacob looked over to where donny was siting only to see him sneaking into the woods so jacob followed him to see what he was doing

[Lucius Cypher]

Donny ventured into the woods a bit, looking around. He forgot where he placed his traps himself, but he had a general idea where they would be at. As he was quietly looking around, there was an explosion behind him; in the direction of the camp. "Fuck!" Donny raced to see who had tripped off one of his explosives, taking careful measure to not trip over something or activate one of his own hidden explosives.

Jacob laid on the ground blown back by the explosion feeling lucky that he had not been hit by any shrapnel when eh had sean Donny run his way

[DesertRat]

Donaven walked through the woods, slow and steady he through as he crept along. He had a string of 3 rabbits over his shoulder as he walked through the woods. Again he checked his cross bow, the bolt was still in it. He couldn't help but remember his days back when he was a hit man creeping around some of the houses out from the city and in the woods "Some things never change I guess" Only things did, he was looking at plants now, he remembered some were good to ear, some on the other hand... He picked one, he thought he saw an animal eat these once, but she couldn't be sure so he tossed down. That was when he heard the explosives, Looking off in the distance he could see the feint light dieing away as he took off towards it, explosions meant people. Once he was with in fifteen meters or so he slowed down, there was a camp fire and he could hear some hushed voices, he made sure no to look at the fire directly and ruin his nigh vision so he kept creeping along in the darkness, he stopped as he heard something, some one rushed by him towards ware the explosives were. He didn't know if they were friendly or not so he stayed hidden, slowly creeping in the shadows, His crossbow ready.

Jacob got to his feet and looked at Donny as he brushed himself off"what the hell was that"

[Lucius Cypher]

Donny found the one who tripped off one of the explosives. It was that Jacob guy, though Donny didn't know much about him aside from that. "Looked like an explosion, I don't know, why are you out here anyways?! I was... Just going to take a shit." Not too far off, Donny did feel like relieving himself now since he nearly had the shit scared right out of him. "Fuck man, now I just don't feel like going now if you're following me. What was that though...?" Donny kept an eye out for more bombs, but walked back to his little fire. He was wondering how or why Jacob was following him, seeing that he tripped off one of his bombs. But before he could settle down, there was another explosion, this time not caused by Jacob, since he was still within sight and was fine. That meant someone else tripped this land mine.

[DesertRat]

Soon another explosion sounded not far from Donavens hiding spot, He looked over to see what might of tripped it Man what is with these people and explosives? he asked him self as he looked up and quickly climbed the tree to get into a better spot, he could see the camp now counting 2 males and another rushing to the explosion, presumably the one setting them all. He shrugged a bit as he decided to get down and meet them. He walked from the trees into the clearing holding up his string of rabbits "I bring gifts." He said smiling some as his other hand held his crossbow down at his side and he examined the camp site some.
