[IC] The Colony. (Another zombie RP)

[Shoe Thief]

Hank would stop Murphy. "hey look girl, I need to grab something from the apartment, Okay?" Hank still had 7 bullets for his gun, he still had the gun, He could tell things were going into motion, Just no idea if they were in motion for better or for worse. "I'll be fast, stay with these people, Let them know if any of them hurt you I will do worse to them. I wont be but a minute okay?" Hank would look into his daughter's eyes.

[nerminator]

Murphy Miller

wouldn't it be smarter for me to go with you? that way if they try to hurt me I'll be gone already and I need to grab a few things anyways Murphy Protested. she was telling a Half-truth. She didn't want to let her father out of her sight. She left to fix something and came back to him getting Whipped for something.

She was afraid that if she looked away for a couple minutes She wouldn't just be motherless. but fatherless.

[CLIW]

Melissa rolled her eyes. "First of all, what are you gonna do about anything?" she asked Hank. "You've been shot in the back and whipped, for God's sake..." She was carrying on, she was aware of that in a flash, and Dimitri didn't seem like the kind of guy whose patience should be tried. "Whatever, guys." She hurried past the man and made her way up toward the third floor, wondering who Brutus was: the name definitely sounded threatening. An image of an impossibly-muscly bodyguard type with a mean temper popped into her head and made her shudder.

She leaned, just a tiny bit, on the door. Maybe she'd be able to hear talking or something, or the sound of a knife being sharpened. She didn't hear either of those things, so she just stood and waited, although her common sense was beginning to push her away.

[Shoe Thief]

Hank looked at the people then back to Murphy. "Alright, you can come but you need to listen and obey every word I say. Got it." Hank has a few things he needs to take care of, the gun especially. He needed to see what rations he had left, He would guess maybe a meal or two. Though including him and Murphy maybe one...

Hank would look over to the others. "Me and Murphy will be back soon, we wont be long." He would hold Murphy's hand and start walking down the hall to their apartment.

Murphy Miller

Got it daddy Murphy answered her father

Their was a bit of blood on Hank's hand. the blood rubbed onto Murphys hand and made that hand bloody too She looked at her now bloody hand in disgust as she followed her father. She really wished He would wash his hands once in a while but now really wasn't the time for that.

Anyways Murphy Happily held hands with her Half-Dead father, to the Apartment up the Cement Stairs

[Shoe Thief]

Hank unlocked the door, though he had to re unlock it when he found out it was already unlocked. he walked Murphy inside. "Now go grab what you can, I don't know when we are coming back, It may be a while." Hank would walk into the kitchen area and grab his bag. Even having the gun in the bag was a huge risk, but this was a time for a huge risk, things had to be done, the question is to leave, or fight back. But staying was no longer an option, something had to be done.

[MonsieurShade]

The moment that Melissa came into contact with the door, a deep guttural growl began to emanate from the other side of it. Dimitri meanwhile nodded to Hank and Murphy as they made their way for their own apartment. With a small sigh, the giant of a man slipped off one of his work boots and used it to keep the entrance to his apartment open before going up stairs. Noticing Melissa trying to listen for any sounds behind his door, Dimitri gave a soft cough to notify her of his presence before lightly tapping the door. The growling intensified at the sound, to which Dimitri responded by whistling six notes, the first three being long in a pattern of high, low, and high again, and the last three being short and high, imitating the call of a white throated sparrow. The growling stopped and was immediately replaced by the sound of whining and a few scratches at the bottom of the door. "My personal anti-burglarly device." He grunted to Melissa before gesturing to the doorknob, "You mind?".

[CLIW]

The sound of the growling made Melissa jump horribly and clutch at her chest. Damn! So that was Brutus. She immediately moved out of the way when Dimitri arrived; she was impressed by the whistling but meek in his presence. She knew one thing: She definitely didn't want to be anywhere near that door again. "T-that's a pretty damn clever system you've got," she mumbled, her throat a little dry. Her heart rate was still trying to get back to normal after Brutus had startled her. There was a little spark of dread in her when she imagined the hulking monster that must have been waiting behind the door.

Cliff followed Dimitri upstairs, not saying a word, rather thinking why Hank so much insisted on going back to his apartment. Here in safe zone people don't have anything important besides a ration they hid and he doubted he would all the bloody and hurted as he was, go for so much troble for a single meal. It must be something else, but what? What has he hid? Was it something why he was caught outside in the first place? Cliff couldn't guess but he knew something important that Hank guy had hidden.

When he came near the door the girl was already there, a scary growling behind the door was from the big guy's dog. He leaned on the wall near the door saying nothing of it. He just waited for him to open the door, looking behind him hoping soldiers haven't seen them coming here.

[nerminator]

@Remipa Awesome Murphy Nodded and ran to get her things that she had. the part about not coming back scared her, how could anyone survive outside the walls? it was hopeless and full of bad people

Murphy grabbed a old Blue colored Toolbox off of a desk that she never used, and a broken Hardhat with a broken light. she didn't have much but those two things were important. the Hardhat was given to her by Her Mother and it was a sort of Sentimental thing,

the Toolbox was given to her when she became a Repairman, she had a feeling that she'll need to fix a few things while She "left" the walls. what her father told her rung in her head. where they really about to leave?, Fear Swept Murphys mind as she walked back to the Apartment door with the Hardhat and toolbox.

[Shoe Thief]

Hank grabbed his bag, he left the gun loaded inside it, He knew what Murphy thought of the colony, it was best she didn't know about the gun. Hank grabbed what little rations were left. He figured if they did leave the walls they would have enough to eat for one meal, then maybe make it 3 days farther. Maybe by that point they will find a town or something the Soldiers haven't picked clean. Truth be told Hank didn't have a plan, his goal was to just survive this mess.

Hank grabbed a sledge hammer from under the bed, he's been forced to defend him home with out using the gun. He got good at it, the Hammer helps. Though against assault rifles, shotguns, or other from the massive armory of the Colony...This wouldn't do more then pissed them all off.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri grabbed the knob of the door with his left hand and calmly raised his right as he swung the door open. There was a sound of panting and nails clicking against a hardwood floor before Dimitri extended his right hand to stop eighty pounds of rhodesian ridgeback from plowing into him. Brutus gave a small yip of excitement as Dimitri patted him on the head and ushered him further back into the apartment so the others could enter. When Brutus saw the people behind Dimitri, for a moment the canine's hackles raised, and his lips pulled back in a snarl to show a gleaming set of sharp teeth, however a quick pat on the side calmed the dog down. The apartment itself was completely unremarkable and homely: In the living room there was a large old black leather couch that sat in front of a stand that housed a boombox and a collection of CDs, the kitchen was separated from the living room and the rest of the apartment by two walls and a pair of double doors that would open to reveal a cramped but surprisingly neat kitchen, from the second set of double doors, there was a right turn into the hallway that would lead to the bathroom, and another right turn from there would lead to two bedrooms. "Make yourselves comfortable, I guess." Dimitri said before walking over to the couch with Brutus in tow and sitting down.

[CLIW]

Melissa came inside, although she was hesitant, especially with that dog right there ready to probably use her windpipe as a chew toy. She glanced around the living room; it appeared pretty nice and well-maintained. Better than hers, anyway. She made sure to put plenty of distance between herself and Brutus, and decided to sit cross-legged on the floor. Deciding uncomfortably that the situation could probably not get anymore awkward or tense, she spoke up a little, her voice cracking.

"So, um...what do you do for a living?"

[Shoe Thief]

Hank grabbed the last of his things, It was time to go, and maybe never come back. "Murphy? You ready to get going?" Hank packed what he could, he had the sledge hammer in a duffle bag, what rations he had left, his gun, and some clothes. And a book on 'Plants for morons' in his bag as well, other then food, he felt ready to go out into the world...Or what was left of it.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri idly stroked Brutus' head as he watched Melissa attempt to make herself comfortable on the floor. For a few moments he seemed to consider something, and then sank down in the couch to make himself more comfortable. It might've been a bit risky to relax as he currently was, however the fact that soldiers weren't kicking in his door, and with Brutus by his side, he was certain that he'd have the upper hand if the people he'd helped got unruly. Dimitri was caught off guard by Melissa's inquiry considering the air of distrust each individual had, however after eight seconds he decided that he'd humor her. "I'm a farm hand. I make sure people have food to bring home by working out in the greenhouses." He stated before lazily waving at the wall closest to him, knowing by heart what direction the greenhouse was from his home. Despite the languid nature of his movement the muscles and veins in Dimitri's arms visibly rolled beneath his skin, betraying the strength packed into them with the simple gesture. "What about yourself?" Dimitri asked before stifling a yawn.

[KingOfNeverLanD]

Cliff entered in his apartment it was more of a room in a hotel. He had kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom. How he got this apartment, Cliff thought remembering his own, basement which was his home. It was something fishy about this man. Could he be a spy and got this for a reward for leading people into a trap? He saw Melissa starting to begin conversation, he wasn't interested in it, especially not in a that kind of it. He glanced at the man and finally spoke. "Why did you help us?" Cliff asked leaned on a wall not paying much attention to Brutus, a dog. Not been much of dog lover himself.

[nerminator]

Murphy quickly ran back and grabbed a crappy wrecked big book that said on the Cover TOOLS AND YOU. A GUIDE TO REPAIRING the book looked old and some of the letters on the cover were gone, She didn't have a backpack since she never needed one,

or a extra pair of clothes but she never minded. as long as the guards kept the Zombies on the other side of the wall

I'm ready She told her father, the toolbox in her right hand and the manual in the other, Looking like she was off to repair something.

@Remipa Awesome

[Shoe Thief]

Hank noticed Murphy was carrying her things by hand. Did she not have a bag? How could he have not known this? wait...She did have one.

"Hold on, I got to grab something once more." Hank went into the bedroom and grabbed Murphy's old bag from when they entered the Colony, it was a bit beaten up but he kept it all these years, it's hard to explain why really.

Hank walked back with the empty bag in hand. "Here, this may help you a bit. I know it's old but it will still help" He would give her the old backpack. Hank still had lots of memories of trying to make it to the colony, he didn't know what Murphy still knew. He was hoping it wasn't too bad.

@nerminator

[nerminator]

@Remipa Awesome It was her old backpack that she had when she was separated from her father for a month. that backpack gave her a lot of memories Thanks dad! she thanked him as took her backpack, she put the book and tool box in the bag, the Bag was old and ripped, the bottom looked like it was taking a lot of stress,

She already spent a month alone outside the walls. and now she was going to go outside again?, she had no idea, She slung her backpack onto her pack, and asked her father with a confused and sad face. hey dad. why are we leaving? she asked. her father.

[CLIW]

"I'm a metalworker," answered Melissa. "I make the tools that the soldiers use to beat us into submission. But I mean, I do other stuff too so I'm not all bad." She glanced up at Cliff and nodded. "Compassion isn't exactly growing from trees around here," she added.
