[quote]If you want to take any of the Farmers, you can. I can see Toby deciding he can't let Abbie go off on her own, and so he accompanies her (only to brutally die later on 'cause that's how Aweena rolls). If you want, I can bring him back and write for him? I do miss writing my failed attempts at romance between him and Sam. 

Other than Toby, I think everyone else is planted. I decided Sam, Aurora and Chuck went off to recover Danielle*; Winifred's still living in Chico with Lacy, waiting to pop out that baby; and Darius is still working at the hospital, also living with Win and Lacy. Toby's the only one who doesn't have to stay and, truthfully, he wouldn't if he knew Abbie was leaving the group. 

*= I have a plot coming up later involving Sam, Aurora and Chuck. Those three I don't want to move. [/quote]

Well, if it's IC then by all means it should happen and I've got no whims about Toby wanting to go along. Hell, Abbie could be sour about it and despite her reasoning, he stubbornly came along.

As for why Abbie left, I'm going to have it where she was snooping into Danielle's disappearance and got into some deep trouble up until a few months earlier. A few times she had several close and mysterious encounters which made it impossible to ignore they were likely hit attempts. These ranged from purposely leaving her behind on salvage missions (which luckily another group brought her back or Coltrane could've when he noticed she wasn't with them), minor 'muggings', and the last one was when someone had taken a pot shot at her. Naturally it only nicked her but she was laid up for a week while it healed at Darius, and Aurora's mute, orders. 

Around about 4 months ago Abbie decided to leave the haven. Namely out of fear but also because of Kurtis, so for about the first two months she bartered, created, worked and gathered the gear she has now. In addition she chartered a ride with about 2-3 folks heading to Colorado Springs haven which would've left soon. (Last time I knew there was a lot of zombies outside the haven gate due to traffic in and out) 

So during this time Toby and Coltrane could've learned Abbie's real reason to leave and accompanied her. The chartered group, who I'll name San (Asian woman), Keith (missing), and Hank (guy with the gun), and they traveled along until they got to Salt Lake City. 

Toby, Coltrane and Abbie went salvaging in town while the other 3 had set up camp a few days ago.

Keith had been feeling slightly sick, hiding it well, over the last week but since he's not turned they didn't think anything of it. So 2 days ago while they were watching for the salvage group, Keith turns, attacks the other two killing them, then wanders off. Hence is why Jazzy's group finds them like they do. 

So Toby, Coltrane and Abbie have spent 2-5 days exploring and searching the town for supplies together which to be honest, it's a large place to search as well as walk. Abbie's got her stuff stashed in the apartment buildings at the 7-11's side because carrying all that stuff at once is rather tiring for her and slows her down. While they are salvaging, Abbie ends up being separated from the group (which would give both Aweena and Zombie time until they could post again) after she tried to escape a zombie by crawling over a fence into a yard. I'll likely start the rp there. After a while she runs into Keith, larger and bulkier, who was infected, and I'll have him chasing Abbie in her post which the others can rescue her. If they want. XD Then we all can go looking for Coltrane and Toby until the Players can post in the IC.
