Hey friends! I've been gone all week but I'm back to whip some magi butt. You want me to post asap?
eyyyy sorry I've been gone all week! you guys want me to post ?
I must learn to check the OOC more often. This thing has 7 pages now with like 140+ posts. You people are crazy!

Edit: Oh the irony that I say 7 pages and I start the 8th page.
I'm also in a bit of a block here. I'll write a post as soon as I get the inspiration! Sorry Laue!
"Oh shut up" Lian said and rolled her eyes at the man's comment. Although he was easy-going, and that was always a plus in Lian's book. When the two were inside, Lian took a last look around the store before stepping inside, closing the door after her. She looked at the two. "Nice place ya got here." the guy said. "Though I have a feeling you don't expect to stay long." Damn was he right. This place was starved. "Yeah... Been staying here for a while now. Nothing left of use here." she responded as she walked away from the door, only barely doing eye contact with him as she walked by. She walked over to the girl, and ducked down on a knee so their heads were leveled. "I'm Lian. You alright?" she said, trying to get eye contact with her. She was in shock or something, that much was obvious to Lian, but why? The city's been shit for a long time, how did she survive alone if she was constantly shocked? Then it hit her... Maybe she hadn't been alone until now. "This is the first time you've been alone for a while, isn't it?" she said carefully. "I'm sorry."

She took a seat next to her, and looked at the guy again. "So what's your name?"

Lian had been trying to ignore the strange sounds outside the store. She couldn't hear what was going on, but it sounded like the infected had found a snack or two. She didn't like the thought...
God damnit. Lian thought. She had seen both of them, the first crashing in through the door and the other through (what used to be) the window. This was the sound she had heard, the girl knocking over something on the shelves, mostly empty containers or garbage. Anything that was left to salvage in this place was long gone. Lian carefully stepped out with her crowbar high in hand. "Both of you shut up. Move toward the back of the store, quiet and quick. Do it now, and make no sound. Say nothing until you are here." she said in as low a voice as she could manage for them both to hear without the infected catching drift. The announcement had just ended and the beasts were crawling back into whatever spot they lurked at before. One thing was certain, the streets wouldn't be safe for at least an hour. Well, not that it could ever be safe, but it's all a matter of perspective.
Now, if the two would do as she said and quietly moved to the back of the store, they would quickly spot Lian standing next to the half-opened door to the back storage. With simple eye-contact and a wave of a hand, Lian directed them both inside. It was much safer in there and they could speak without anyone hearing there. She had been careful not to leave any of her supplies in the open however.
If they wouldn't come to her, she would simply wait. One hand on the door, another on the crowbar. If infected came bursting through the door, Lian would be safe. The other two would distract or keep the infected away while she... No... She could never leave people to their death. Knowing her, she'd probably do anything in her power to try to get them into safety. She didn't think about that it might cost them all their lives if such a thing were to happen. Shaking the pesimism off, Lian considered the third option.
If one of them came to her, but the other did not, she would wave the one who did inside and risk a small whisper to the other one, saying "I'm closing the door. Last chance."

Either way, she wouldn't wait long. They had to do as she said now or be locked out. With infected around, Lian had to wait for a while more before leaving. Damn...
Rain. Just what Lian needed. This hideout of hers had just dried out of supplies and it was time to move. Ever since the city fell into anarchy and chaos, Lian had been bouncing from survivor group to group. The first few days it had been with some neighbors from her apartment building, but eventually they had died, all one after one, taken by the infected and later becoming one themselves. Lian had seen it. How they turn from nausea to confusion to unconciousness... And then eventually becoming one of them. The monsters. The horrors.
This particular hideout was a very small and old convinience store, or it had been. It was long since dry of supplies but Lian used to be in the same group with the owner, who had hid supplies in the back, away from most looters' eyes. Eventually, he too had been taken by the infected, dragged out into the streets and torn limb from limb to protect her. The memory of it all made her nauseous... The blood... Shaking off the thought, Lian got up to scramble her things together. A dark green knapsack she carried had all her belongings. Some canned food, two bottles of drinkable water and a magazine to a gun she didn't even have. She had taken it off a dead police officer, but his gun had been nowhere in sight. Instead, she carried around a crowbar, not only for the potential of melee but also so she could pry open doors or loose boards. It really did come in handy. In the sidepacks of the knapsack she had hoarded a bunch of different types of batteries. She didn't know if they worked or not, and she only had a small flashlight of which only a few of the batteries fitted, but you could never be too sure. Something she had learned from all this time in the city alone is you take what you can get.

Sighing, she went to the back of the store again where the last owner had hid the supplies. The secret storage was all but empty now. There was a can of ravioli though. Maybe it was still edible? Shrugging, Lian packed it into her knapsack and turned around to leave when she heard the noise. A loud static, growing in both pitch and volume. If there's anything she knew about the infected is that they have good hearing and smell. Quickly she dived back into the storage room. The front of the store was half-covered with the metal curtains that stores used to keep their place safe when closed. Lian couldn't remember what they were called, but point is they weren't enough to protect her from the infected on the outside. The windows were loosely boarded with planks but it had holes that the infected could easily rip through. She lay hidden, waiting, watching. Infected slowly started to crawl about, seemingly appearing out of nowhere from the shadows. They clawed at the posts which made the sound. Cursing low to herself in Chinese, Lian could do nothing but watch. It's my lucky day... she thought, but then the static was exchanged for a voice. Listening intently and awestruck, she heard the voice talk about a chance of getting out of the city. A chance of salvation. Memorial park? Is he insane?! There's ten thousand infected from here to Memorial Park!
She bit her nail, a bad habit she had when under stress. She had to think, and think fast. The best way to get there was probably through the subway or maybe the sewers. The streets weren't safe, but then again the subway and sewers are garuanteed to not be safe either. When she was sure the infected had left, she swinged her knapsack off her back and rummaged through it. There, a map!
It was a map of the city, marked out with a big "you are here" dot maybe twenty blocks from Memorial Park. She had taken it from the tourist bureau just across the street from the convinience store she had holed up in, so finding herself on the map wasn't that hard. The hard part was knowing what streets had collapsed and were inpassable and which streets could still be used for traverse. Maybe if I stick to the alleys until I get to Asgard Substation... It's just a block away... she thought, but was interrupted by a sound from the store. She quickly grabbed her crowbar and hid herself, looking out toward the small store. Was it a wandering infected? A survivor?

(( Feel free to jump in as a survivor right there, people! ))
How's that OOC going? C:
Holy. Shit.
I was gone for just a few days and BOOM we have like 20 characters and a milion posts!
Naw but seriously I have some catching up to do now I guess xD Will be posting in the IC soon!

EDIT: I updated my CS and changed Lian's origins to that of an asian, to better fit her name. I also found a better appearance photo. Nothing huge has been changed.
What do you mean, right way to put in the names? o:
Also I was going to go with the Citizen Profile theme too but I was so unsure about my character at first so I just wrote it down as a regular CS to make it easier ^^
