As an FYI. Ainslie is my main character, the rest are just story fodder with probably all of them dying eventually. But I was thinking that they could come by your character(s) on the way out of town. From their we can have a larger sized group that gradually shrinks overtime. Thoughts?

@Aline
For the third day now, sirens blared throughout the city. However long they would go was a mystery, until they ran of juice, but when that would be was anyone’s guess. By the second day the people manning them had long vanished. A few lucky bastards had managed to tuck tail and run. The rest? Well, that was always anyone’s guess. Though with or without, the sirens continued to echo on. Not that anyone was listening. They were warning to get out, to evacuate the city. Which most people had already done, some even before the sirens were sounded. Anyone who stayed behind probably was too interested in following instructions. Ainslie Ross was one of these people. She didn’t know much of anything about the virus that had racked and destroyed the city she had spent her whole life in, but she knew enough to not want to follow the herd. People were coming back from the dead. And she couldn’t help but think that going where there were going to be a lot of people, was not the best idea. So, she stayed where she was. She’d wait out a few days to beat the traffic and leave on her own.
Today was the day. Slowly, she pulled herself from her bed. A luxury she doubted she’d be seeing in quite some time. Moving to her bedside table, she took the glock that sat atop it and shoved between her belt and jeans. A makeshift holster, if you would. Then with all the stealth she possessed she made her way down to the living room. The darkness created by the boarded up windows still came as a small surprise, despite having been there for days now. Only a week prior she had sat here with her sister chatting while the sun beamed through the room. Now it felt like she was a squatting in an abandoned house.

Approaching the door, Ainslie readied her gun and peaked outside for any sign of the monsters that were now wandering the streets. Luckily, the still-blaring sirens distracted the majority of them and briefly she wondered if that was why the people working them had left them on. To give anyone left behind a chance. With only a few stragglers, Ainslie went outside and bolted to her car. A pure-white 1954 Chrysler New Yorker and Ainslie’s pride and joy. So, with a quick change of gears she bolted and began weaving through the streets with a new recklessness. Maybe the apocalypse did have its perks.

“Like no road-laws,” Ainslie joked aloud to herself as she pulled up to a small apartment block, a short drive from her own house. Leaving the car to idle she quickly got out and broke her way through the building. Finally she made it to her destination: Unit #372 on the third floor. Her sister’s apartment, where she could already hear the muffled cries of the toddler that lived inside. Not wanting to scare the babe or her sister any more than they undoubtedly already were, Ainslie knocked lightly on the door. A few moments passed before she heard the door unlock and the chain being pulled off. Without a moment’s hesitation she pushed her way in.

“C’mon lets go,” She said hurriedly, grabbing the other woman by the arm and trying to pull her out when she stopped to look back. “Where’s Toby?”

“He got called to Camp Murray,” Isabel’s voice was choked as the tears she wasn’t hiding well, filled her eyes. Almost immediately Ainslie face turned red, matching her hair, as she bit her tongue. Toby, her sister’s husband, had simply left his wife and son to fend off the undead. For the brief moments that Ainslie spent gathering her mind, it took almost all her strength to not blow up.

“I said. Let’s go.” Gritting her teeth, Ainslie ushered he sister out and lead the way back to her car. As soon as the three were seated, Ainslie once again sped off through the streets. Though with her sister and nephew now in the car, she drove much more carefully.



IC will be up in only a moment :D
Name: His name is technically Aeson, but the scientists typically call him 14 which is data number.
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: Aeson is very serious in nature. Since he was the first Earth-born of his kind he's very use to the daily experimentations, even treating it like its his duty to follow through. When not in a lab he's very uptight about the rules and following orders, this is mostly due to not knowing anything outside the coldness of the facility. Though he is often caught trying hide a laugh when a joke is told. He is serious because he was trained to be by the scientists, but once he's free of them he'll become more fun and goofy. He speaks English almost fluently.


Race: Mirrin - They look like a mix between mice and human. Mostly human though. They have very good senses of smell and hearing due to their mouse-like ears and noses. They also have really good eyesight in the dark, but during the day its about as good as a person who has moderate-severe near-sightedness. Their society is community based in that everything is for the greater good for the whole rather than the individual. They are humble and believe in sticking close with the earth. Though on their home planet Famia things were completely the opposite. An all-for-one attitude and greediness for status and power resulted in a centuries long war, destroying many homes and families. So a small group of 13 decided to piece together their savings for a ship that would take them to a new planet where they could live in peace..
So in the next few posts, I was thinking that someone in the facility. Probably the Major or Jimmy. Could take her for a tour of the facility, specifically to like where they keep the babies and they could disclose to her that her main purpose is to oversee reproductive health and breeding? Sort of to ease her into what she will eventually be doing. Practice if you will :p
Aeson followed the woman’s instruction to sit, though he remained incredibly still. As she gathered her tools Aeson watched her, perplexed. He still wasn’t quite sure what she was, though he had more or less gotten over this fact. What was confusing him now, was why he needed a physical in the first place. Until now, he had only received one every few months. And he had just had once a few days ago. Perhaps they had discovered something wrong and were following up, but Aeson was sure that Jeremiah would’ve said something if that were the case. Maybe it was for the new doctor to learn about his kind, but why did they need him then? There were others who were actually due for checkups, unlike him.

"So, what's your name? Besides that number they gave you, if you don't mind me asking."

Her voice made Aeson jump ever so slightly, and it was then he realised that he had gotten lost in his mind. Somewhat embarrassed, he diverted his eyes away from her face, which he had been blankly staring at for the duration of the physical. Though he looked back at her when he realised what she had asked. Now he was completely confused, none of the previous scientists or doctors had ever even seemed like they wanted to know his name, never mind actually asking.

“Ahm,” He cleared his throat, unsure if he really should share. He doubted that the others would be very pleased with it. Then again, he was taught to never deny a humans request. “Aeson. It is Aeson,” Somehow, it almost felt foreign to be speaking his own name to another.
