Hey all ^^ Terribly sorry for my extended absence :( Between illness, work and the guilds wobbles I've struggled to get on here <.<

Hope you are all doing well! Also hope you're feeling better now Rarity as well ^^'

Just wanted to apologize to you all and say that I won't be returning to the world of RP until the 27th December ^^' Really sorry if I've caused any inconvenience. And:



whether you celebrate it or not hope you all have a fantastic week :)

Infection, World's End [Closed]

– Farmhouse -

– Mercy –

Mercy felt a chill run the length of her spine as she accidentally caught Cat's eye more than once when she looked towards him, she couldn't help but curse him for the way he was sitting shrouded in shadows with just half his face on show. It made him appear twice as menacing as before and caused her heart to pick up the pace, propelling her blood faster through her veins and causing an uncomfortable ache to surface within her chest. She had glanced at him to monitor his reaction to her offer at the wrong time, seeing him narrow his eyes and easily reading the suspicion behind them she turned her head slightly off to the side lifting her free hand she wrapped her fingers around her wrist and nervously rubbed at her inked skin.

She physically flinched as he begun to move without giving her a vocal answer she wasn't exactly sure what to expect, she simply stayed where she was watching him out of the corner of her eye and carefully maintaining an acceptable level of submission. Although she didn't know Cat, she was fairly confident in her ability to appear defenceless and meek of which Dog had in a roundabout way mentioned was the safest way to appear to his brother. As Cat de-robed she found her eyes drawn to the many scars adorning his skin, no doubt each one had some form of story behind it not that the blonde was going to ask about them...she didn't want to risk angering the dark haired man especially when his twin wasn't there to calm him down. Her eyes lingered on the numbers carved into his left shoulder, the number of beast.

Although she couldn't really recall the significance of the numbers she knew what it was and that it was often said to be something to do with the devil himself. Are you the devil though? Or just a victim of his? Mercy shifted from one foot to the other as her thoughts jumbled together in a nervous cluster at the front of her mind. She watched him sit down on the floor cross legged and lifted his injured arm she took the gesture as a silent answer to her question which led her to take a hesitant step towards him as if to test out her theory.

She froze as his cold voice split the silence between them, his voice caused her heart to jump against her rib cage violently as tendrils of fear slithered through her ribs. "O-Ok" She stuttered out keeping her gaze downcast she moved over to him without another moments hesitation and lowered herself onto her knees in front of him, placing her first aid kit down on the ground she flicked the lid open before reaching out for his arm. sliding her fingers onto his scarred skin she attempted to move his arm so she could see his wound clearly. She was aware of his eyes on her as she sat there but she didn't seem particularly bothered by it now she had something to concentrate on, however she licked at her lower lip nervously. With a soft hum she reached down to grab a sealed package from her first aid kit leaving one of her hands resting on his arm, she brought the packet up to her mouth and gripped the wrapper between her teeth in order to tear it open and remove the wipe from inside of it.

“This is going to sting” She warned him lifting her eyes to his cheek as she spoke unwilling to catch his eye. She was aware he had probably endured things far more unpleasant than the slight sting on an antiseptic wipe but she didn’t want to surprise him in anyway. After verbally warning she brought the fabric down towards the cuts on his arm and ran it over each the lacerations in turn carefully clearing away the blood and any unsavory substances that may have been there. “...have you and Dog been alone since the beginning of this?” Mercy asked him as she tended to his arm, she spoke quietly but her voice didn’t quiver despite the fear that was causing her heart to beat at an uncomfortable speed. She didn’t think Cat was one for chit chat but she figured there was little harm in trying to engage him in some form of conversation.

She sat back on her heels once his arm was clean placing the used wipe to the side she pulled out another sealed packet, a roll of make shift bandages and a few sterilized gauze’s listening out for an answer to her question. “A few stitches would help these heal faster...did you want me to do that?” She queried him rather than simply getting on with it, though she was already fishing out the hooked needle from one of the packets in front of her she had no intention of continuing without his permission. As she awaited his answer she felt her eyes lift curiously to inspect a few of the scars on his torso, her curious nature caused her to wonder where and how he had acquired each one...the fearful side of her was under the impression the less she knew the better.

–Fuel Run-

– Tamashii –

Although Tamashii didn’t say anything about Remy’s answer to her question, she did think privately over what he had said. Hmm, so that vest isn’t just for show she couldn’t help but feel the cold sting of jealousy at his words. The apocalypse had prevented her from gaining such a title, she shoved the selfish thought to the back of her mind however and decided she may have to ask him about his past before they parted ways.

Tamashii raised her eyebrow at Dog as he greeted her with an overly eager smile, she felt obliged to frown in reply to it, though she continued on with her instruction. She found her facial expression out however as Dog simply saluted her and did exactly as she had asked without hesitation, it was oddly satisfying not having to repeat herself or meet resistance. She felt her mouth twitch up into a small smile; her thought trail suggested she had spent far too long solely in a certain blonde’s company.

Whilst Remy took point in front she stayed behind him keeping a keen eye on their surroundings, every so often she ducked down to check underneath the cars. By the time Remy broke away from her and ducked behind a parked car she had come to the same conclusion as him, everything was clean even the inside of the cars bore no mark of the apocalypse. She caught Remy’s quick movement out of the corner of her eye and instantly slunk down to crouch beside him, inspecting his facial expression before she cast a suspicious glance around them. “Yes...I have-” She answered his question before cutting herself off as he placed a finger against his lips and pointed towards the city’s entrance.

Her eyes grazed over the shambling corpses aimlessly stumbling across the tarmac, they seemed blissfully unaware of the groups presence at this moment. “They haven’t noticed us if we stay quiet we can get by without disturbing them” She pointed out, running a hand into her hair she pushed it away from her face and edged to the end of the car they perched behind, reaching up she flicked the petrol cap open and clicked her tongue in annoyance finding the lid beneath it had already been removed. “I get the feeling a lot of these ‘untouched’ cars might be empty already...” She murmured to Remy moving back over to his side. “We might get lucky though” She added peeking back around at the small gathering of undead by the city entrance.

“Remy” Tamashii sighed as he glanced back at her in confusion; she struggled to prevent herself from replying rashly to his genuine question. She bit her tongue as she studied the undead floating around the entrance to the city, her mind already trying to piece together the broken puzzle in front of them. “There is only one reason this station is so well maintained” She looked at him briefly trying to figure out whether he knew what she meant or not.

Regardless of whether he did or not she stood back up and lifted her hands to her mouth releasing a low toned bird whistle as a signal for Kaylah and Dog to start their search for fuel. Remy and herself hadn’t ventured too far away it was too far too safely converse with the pair of them. She lifted her hand and waved it in a downward motion trying to signal for them to act quietly though the downward motion could have easily been mistaken for a signal to stay low either way she hoped it was enough for them to proceed with caution. Once she was confident they had seen her she sunk back down beside Remy and spoke again.

“It’s a trap and the sooner we figure it out the sooner we can get out of it” She told him, her eyes sweeping across the landscape in front of them, she moved closer to Remy lifting a hand and gently rested it against his upper arm. “Look, I’m going to grab a hose pipe off of Kaylah and quickly sweep through the rest of these vehicles. I need you to watch that opening like a hawk, I get the feeling the undead are not part of this plan...they should create enough of a distraction that we can get away should we need to” She told him, waiting for his response be it positive or negative, either way she had a very determined look on her face that suggested she wouldn’t be swayed from her current course of action.

I only have one person left at the farmhouse. Everyone is clear to RP whatever they want there and I will stick her in now and again, where she fits. Just label your posts so we know what is going on. Like put in the top "Farmhouse [Character's name]" or "Fuel Run [Character's Name]" <----------------- That is just an example of how to label your post, do it in your style <3FaithsRose. Don't worry about it! I of all people understand. ;)

Thanks ^^ Once we've done the Cat/Mercy interaction thing can go find her or something if you like? ^^

And thank you very much for understanding! ^^ I really appreciate that :) I should hopefully be less busy after the 1st of December ^^ (Hopefully!)

Posted! Sorry its a little 'meh' its the best I could come up with right now >.< Should be enough for a response ^^' Again sorry if it isn't :(

– Farmhouse -

– Mercy –

It had been a while since the others had set out on the fuel run, after treating Chris’s hand her and Tony had retreated back to their room. Mercy hadn’t wanted to disturb them further so she’d made herself busy firstly she hadn’t realized she had used the last of her bandages on her arm earlier that day. It meant she had to search the house top to bottom, well she hadn’t dared to venture into the attic without knowing she had everything she needed.

She knew Olivia was still around though she hadn’t seen her for a while she wasn’t too worried, she had seen first hand how effectively the young girl could look out for herself...though she was planning on seeking her out just as soon as she had tended to Cat’s injury. In the end she had found an old cotton bed sheet tucked under the stairs, she felt a little bad ripping it to shreds without asking Lloyd's permission first but she hadn’t the heart to disturb him whilst he was resting and at the end of the day needs must. “That ought to do it...right” She told herself taking a deep breath as she neatly stacked a few bundles of bandages back under the stairs, keeping just the one firmly within her grasp.

“You can do this, it’s the least you can do or them” She murmured as she ascended the stairs up to the second level, she passed by Chris and Tony’s closed door stopping off by her shared room she hastily dropped the makeshift bandages into the box before picking it up and moving over to the stairs leading up to the attic. It had been a good hour since the incident so she wasn’t sure how cat was going to react to her late offer. As she climbed the stairs her heart beat quickened to an uncomfortable pace, she kept her breathing even and somehow kept putting one foot in front of the other until her hand was on the handle of the door leading into the attic. Breathe, don’t threaten him, remember what Dog said She told herself before taking yet another deep breath she rapped her knuckles on the door before reaching for the handle and opening it just enough that she could peek around it.

“Cat...?” She called, her voice came out far softer and quieter than she intended it too. “S-sorry to bother you but...” She started off edging further into the room, her eyes mostly focused on the floor though she occasionally lifted her gaze to peer around the attic in search of the larger twin though she was careful not to lift them high enough that he could catch her eye should he look at her. “I thought...maybe I could offer you my assistance with your arm” She finally blurted out, relaxing her shoulders she pulled her breathing under control and waited for his response to her presence and offer, she still had the first aid kit gripped tightly in her right hand.

–Fuel Run-

– Tamashii –

After Tamashii glanced briefly at Remy as he spoke to Rena, she was laid across the back seat with her back pressed up against the side of one of the back doors, her arms were tightly crossed over her chest. She’d left the farmhouse in a fairly bad mood after Mercy had point blank refused to accompany them, it had meant leaving her behind with Cat. Tamashii was still seething over the decision but she of all people knew once Mercy made up her mind trying to change it was a futile endeavour. As Remy looked in the rear-view mirror she caught his eye for a second before averting her gaze and chewing her lip as a frown etched its way onto her face. She glanced out of the back of the truck to check that Dog and Kaylah were still following behind them before she gave a curt nod knowing Remy’s eyes were still focused on her as he was no doubt waiting for an answer.

Her emerald eyes travelled back towards him as he spoke again, though she dropped her gaze to the map in his hand. She’d been so angry with Mercy’s stubbornness she had forgotten to tell her about the map...and the place she’d chosen as a rendezvous should anything happen, the thought caused her to shift in her seat. She was pulled from her thoughts at what Remy said, exhaling she sat up and shuffled to the center of the back seat checking over her shoulder to make sure the other two were close by. “Hmm, are your bad feelings often well placed?” She asked him, scanning their surroundings as they whizzed along the road, she jumped as Rena’s voice suddenly filled the cab her hand instantly dropped down to rest on the handle of her hand gun as she looked in the direction Rena was. She drew in a sharp breath through clenched teeth as Rena finished speaking and bounced up and down in her seat, she was about to snap something at the girl when Remy beat her too it...which was a good thing really, at least he was nice to her.

“Something isn’t right...” She muttered under her breath sliding over to the door on her left she checked her corners before pushing it open, glancing back at Remy she nodded to him and got out of the truck, closing the door as quietly as she could she flagged the others down walking over to their truck once she had their attention she made a motion for them to roll down a window or hop out to talk to her, providing they did one or the other she spoke to them. “Remy and I are going to check it out, get one of those things off and stay alert. If anything goes down, get in the truck and get out of here back to the farm...I’ll whistle if the coast is clear for you to come in with those canisters. You got that?” She instructed most likely coming across as incredibly bossy, but she needed a clear plan in her head and she figured it’d go a lot smoother if she shared it with them rather than just expecting them to do it.

If however they didn’t she made a hand gesture that could be translated to stay before slowly saying ‘wait for my signal’ Once that was cleared up she moved over to Remy looking at Rena she contemplated asking the girl to surrender the keys to the truck...she didn’t expect the girl to stay in the truck and being the paranoid survivalist she felt very uncomfortable with the idea of Rena being in charge of their get away vehicle. “Lets do this...the sooner we can get out of here the better” She muttered to Remy before passing by him, her eyes already scanning their surroundings as she walked across the tarmac she stopped a little way in and looked back at Remy. “You take point, I’ll watch your back” She suggested, shifting uncomfortably

...are we not role playing in the farmhouse as well? (Kinda was eager to have Cat/Mercy interaction xD)

I was hoping this would still happen too ^^

Rarity said
I don't see why not, let's see what FaithsRose thinks.

I think it'd be pretty easy to do, don't you? ^^ As long as characters are titled :)

Sorry for my absence, have a lot of deadlines at the moment and not enough time in the day, I'm halfway through a post will try my best to upload it tomorrow! Trying to catch up ^^'

It is good to be back. Been kind of awkward trying to find 1x1 RP and get going. Feel like a newbie all over again. All my old RPs fizzled out. Glad I have a couple solid group RPs going!We can share Lloyd since he is a NPC and we both know his fate.

It takes a little to get back into the flow of things again hmm? ^^ Sorry to hear about your other RP's fizzling out though <.< ^^ And okey dokes sounds good to me :)

Rarity said
That would be fine! Or when we come back from our fuel run, we can discover that they are gone.I think that plan would be fun because it is also a way for TS characters to get a leave. Part of us go on the fuel run, Tony and Chris stay behind with whoever else, and when the other group gets back, they just find them gone?Should we do a time skip to when they are on the road? Who is going and who should stay?

Okey dokes ^^ Yeah I was just blocking up that loop hole of Chris or Tony not volunteering to come on the fuel run, either way it'll work ^^ Right'o :D I should be able to manage the villains, though to make it less complicated would you be against the event happening on fuel run first then once that is resolved...the farm event happens afterwards < Doing it this way could help get the fuel run group back to base camp without having to TS again ^^

If you want to go ahead with the TS feel free, I'm trying to get a post done but I'm still a little behind on some work and finding the time to write out posts is...difficult ^^' I should be all caught up by Thursday at the very latest! Really sorry for the delay!

Groups are as follows (Excluding your characters)

Fuel Run - Dog, Tamashii, Kaylah

Farm - Cat, Mercy, Lloyd (As he's resting)

It's entirely up to you which of your characters you want to go along/stay behind ^^

Rarity said
*Puts hat back on* Nothing went wrong, everything is perfect. You are still CO-GM, right?

Glad to hear that ^^ Of course if you still want me to be :)

Infection, World's End [Closed]

Rarity! :D Glad to have you back with us ^^ Hope you're doing better :)

Glad you liked the posts ^^ just in case I didn't make it clear in my posts! The location of your characters stands at Remy and Rena are off patrolling the borders, Olivia is somewhere in the house it wasn't specified what she was up to, just assumed doing little jobs here and there. Lloyd is resting. (I don't mind handing Lloyd back over to you if you would like ^^ Or I can keep a hold of him or share whichever is easiet and most comfortable for you ^^)

I have not started writing up a post, terribly sorry! I had a really busy weekend and assignments are still coming out of my ears T_T I shall get onto that though asap!

Erm just thought I'd say, I'm not convinced a TS would flow right though could understand how it would seem feasible. Just an idea, but I could in my next post word it that Mercy has already checked Chris over and advises her to stay put. That way it would solve that issue for the moment, could spin it that they leave the two alone and go back downstairs leaving them out of the interaction zone and we could go from there? It could easily be worded that Tony and Chris left at a slightly later date. It wouldn't leave as many holes in the story line and we wouldn't be skipping over some valuable talks/interactions?

By the way Rarity what did you think of this plan? Would it be something worth running or would you prefer to leave it and get things back on track?

It was thought up as a fun thing to do that wouldn't drastically change anything ^^' So understand if you'd rather skip over it or change it <.<'

These are the bad guys ^^ though you probably already saw all of this >.<' just putting easy links in one place? ^^'

Good to hear from you M.C :D Thanks for letting us know, hope they don't keep your PC for much longer o.o Can imagine it being difficult to work without it :(

On the subject of adding people, I'm not sure we really need to at the moment? Where our characters are in the IC is an awkward place for new characters to join anyway >.> Maybe see how things go once everyone is back? ^^'

Oh and -hands Rarity back the GM hat- ^^ Sorry if anything went wrong <.<'

Also, apologies for taking that extra day out o.o I didn't really have a choice on the matter ^^'

Who's eyes? Dog or Cat? XDAnd right I already had a post set up so I'll get it up in a moment. And thank you ^^ *is currently lounging on the beach in Hawaii*Oh we might need a interest check huh? 3 or 4 people is good, but just us two if no one returns just is a 1x1 instead of a group xD

Sorry I thought I wrote Cat in there somewhere >.< My bad ^^' I meant Cat's eyes xD

Thanks for posting :D Sorry that I was a bit late on wishing a good vacation ^^' Lucky though! I can imagine Hawaii is a beautiful place to be :D

Yeah, its a little bit awkward with Rarity being away o.o' Pretty sure it was this week that M.C could possibly start posting again <.< Indeed ^^' Shall figure something out :)

I will have to think on what to do as bringing in new people could potentially be a big change o.o Will need to reshuffle the plans a little as well <.< Just wanted to say I won't be able to get on here for the next two days though >.< I'll send M.C a message though :)

Sorry to leave you hanging again it's unavoidable I'm afraid ^^'

Sorry pulled another disappearing act ^^'

Those doodles are great Fox :D If I may say so, I like the way you drew his eyes in particular ^^ The chibi's are adorable as well xD

teapotshark said
Those doodles and chibis are fantastic. I hope you have an awesome vacation!Sadly, I think I'm going to have to go. More than anything I'd like to keep RPing with you guys, and you know I've always wanted to keep Infection alive. Alas, due to complications in my family and a heavy university workload, I haven't got the time, and when I do have time, I use it to catch some precious sleep. You're welcome to take on my characters or kill them off in the coming adventures. It sucks I have to go at this time, but my family come first. I hope I'm not putting too much strain on you guys by leaving. In a while, when life has calmed down, I look forward to roleplaying with you again. Good luck <3

Hope everything evens out for you soon! Sad to see you go but completely understand that family and RL comes first ^^ It's been fantastic Rping with you :D I think for the story's sake we'll say Chris and Tony did leave the farm that way, if there comes a time you fancy coming back the option will be open to you ^^ Thanks for letting us know! Haven't put any strain on us don't worry ^^ Good luck to you as well :)

Silver Fox said
Guess it's just me and you Faith xDShould I post?

I guess it is xD Hopefully M.C will be back soon as well :) Yes please do post, I think the rule needs to be broken on this occasion ^^' Oh and just in case I miss the opportunity to say this, hope you have a great vacation! ^^

Also things are quieting down a bit for me at the moment so should be able to be a little more active :)
