Current "Doing your best" does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown. Its no longer your best at that point.

When everything seems wrong...something goes right, and it changes darkness into light, and makes the shadows a little less daunting.

the bad thing about being bullied is that every time it happens it steals a little piece of who you are if it happens enough little by little you become a little less of who you were meant to be.

Excellent, I'm shocking with going through CS sheets and even when I scrutinise the images I have still managed to choose the same as someomne else XD
So I actually need help deciding XD





I'm more partial to Karen then Skyler... but I'm not entirely sure if they're already taken.
Wait wait wait

I can change my face claim for Niesha? Because I have someone perfect for her now
Sasha smiled at Zero’s words, more than a little amused at the situation, flashing Shujin a grin as well, even as she took in what was going on. From just being with Lazarus and Shujin, she was now, it seemed, surrounded by many. She didn’t mind that, as she turned to address them all. She shot a glance at the dragon slayers, frowning at their squabbles. There seemed to be more going on here then she could see, and she rapidly tried to figure out just what, listening to Shujin and Lazarus talk in the background. Pausing a moment or two, she said softly “You really don’t have the right to tell her why she should do something or not. If she wishes to do it because of her mother, in finding answers for her mother, then that’s okay. We all fight for something.

Sometimes we need something to hold onto, to give us a reason. Do not belittle someone else, because you think it is wrong” She paused another moment, thoughtful, before she cleared her throat, saying “I’d greatly enjoy having you along” She said to them, “I have no issues with it” How many were coming along now? Was this rapidly becoming an even larger expedition then had gone to Edolas? Granted, they hadn’t truly known that they would going to Edolas, but still.

Would it be enough? It had to be.

She flicked her attention towards Lazarus and Shujin again. She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped, closing it instead. She knew that lazarus had to do what he could, for his family. She couldn’t stop him… yet she could wish that he could wait until she was able to help. She’d promised that she wouldn’t do anything dangerous… Well, besides this, of course.

She sighed softly, keeping her attention on those around her.





Jarvis sighed, a fear rising in him. If Amelia came, they’d have to bring Sam. And… he didn’t want to lose her again. Sammy was six, even if she was older chronically. And they’d only just got her back… Amelia was part of that, and Jamie had sacrificed several parts of herself for it.

He didn’t want to risk losing either of them.

Yet could he tell them to stay behind? Could he make Amelia stay behind, when she wanted to come, perhaps needed to? He sighed again, and said softly “Very well. But you will not leave the boat, Amelia. I mean it. I don’t want to lose you”

Trip to North Newnan
Riley, Chloe, Ravi & Niesha


Location: Headed to North of Newnan





Niesha just nodded, before she entered the building as well, pausing a moment to look around, more then a little cautious right then. She studied the inside of the building, seeing old footprints- she thought they were old- before listening intently. the place was big... and it seemed clear, but she wanted to be careful. There could be a walker there... just because it didn't seem like it, didn't mean that could go in half-cocked. She waved her flash light around, checking each and every corner.

She shifted a little, keeping a hand on her weapons.

When Riley entered the building she looked around the main entrance, holding up her crossbow as she slowly started to scan around the first few rooms. Turning towards one of the rooms she noticed a few caskets in one of them, which was good they could easily transport the chemicals that they need without having to stuff their bags. And they would be able to lay Sally's body to rest more properly, she looked back towards the three in the room. "We can lay Sally to rest in here." Riley said.

As things seemed to be okay for now, Niesha followed Riley, although she still kept a good hold of her flashlight, figuring that if worse came to worse, she could brain a walker, and give her enough time to get her bow knocked. She looked over at the casket, and nodded, "Yeah. There might be a trolley or something around that we can use to push it along" She made a mental note to look for something of the likes, glancing about them, still listening for any sign that there were walkers in the building.

"Let's get the coffin last. We can put the chemicals inside of it," Chloe argued. She didn't want to drag a coffin all over the place while looking for the embalming chemicals. If they did that, she just felt like a hoard of walkers would open up and they wouldn't be ready to fight. Whatever could go wrong will go wrong and all of that fun stuff. She flicked on her flashlight, getting a good idea of her surroundings.

"They'll likely have the chemicals in the basement. Most embalming work is done down there. If we could locate a staircase, that'd be brilliant."

Niesha sighed, thinking that she hadn't suggested lugging it all over the building, merely suggested looking out for a trolley to make it easier to push back, and she shook her head, turning away, towards Ravi, nodding. "Call me paranoid, but we should probably clear the building as well. It doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while, but you can never be too careful right? We could do two upstairs, two down" she suggested

Riley nodded at Niesha's suggestion, even though the building did seem to be clear for now, there was still a chance that there could be a walker or two still stirring around. "Alright then Niesha and Ravi, you two search the downstairs, while Chloe and I take the upstairs and make sure its cleared for good before snagging all the chems." Riley suggested looking towards her sister, figuring that she didn't want to be near the new guy or Niesha for now.

For a moment, Ravi smiled. “Yes, ahem, the chems....Roger that, homey,” he said, a bit awkwardly. Despite living in the United States for a considerable amount of time, he still couldn’t quite use the slang properly. Instead, he just kept up the dialect of his native land.

Chloe rolled her eyes at the man, before giving a nod to her sister. She wasn’t sure if Niesha and Ravi would be the best choice to clear a building, anyways. They’d be more likely to have an emotional fit or make a bad pun from her experience. “Yeah. That works.”

Niesha nodded, a little grateful that Riley suggested that she not be put with Chloe- she didn't know what the other girls problem was, but Niesha didn't think she could stand being in Chloe's presence alone. It was clear that Chloe expected her to go off, plunge into the emotional deep end. Which was just ticking Niesha off. So, she was satisfied to be split from her for a time. "Alright" She said, looking over to Ravi and giving him a smile,

She started off, searching for the stairs, checking any rooms she passed, being careful, for any signs of the dead. Or even humans.

"Just you two stay safe, if either of you see anything or you two are in some trouble come and get us right away. And we will do the same." Riley said as she turned towards Chloe, it would be a good chance to find out what is going on with her. Riley turned around and slowly started to make her way up towards the stairs. "So something is up, whats wrong? You usually aren't this snippy with anyone." Riley asked as she turned around to face her twin.

Chloe held up her hand, indicating for Riley to be quiet for a moment. There was the sound of something breaking upstairs. She frowned a bit and shifted her stance slightly, with her gun firmly gripped in one hand and the flashlight in the other. The way she had them held, her light would be shining wherever she was about to aim. Given that they had cleared this area previously, Chloe wondered whether or not that sound could have been caused by a walker. Perhaps it was a person instead.

Meanwhile, Ravi turned to Niesha as the pair of them had set off, raising an eyebrow. He had heard the crash too and couldn't help but wonder the cause of it. Most walkers were still frozen and slow. Was a walker trapped upstairs? "Did you hear that?" Ravi whispered to Niesha. He gripped his knife a little tighter, but his hand shook. Normally, Gavin would go to investigate at this point. He never was in the situation where he'd have to take a life, human or walker, if it could be helped.

Niesha nodded, hesitating, looking up the stairs, pausing but a moment, before continuing, "If its trouble, Riley and Chloe will tell us"
Well.

I plan on moving the rolplay forward shortly. Cause I want to get this arc moving.
Jamie chuckled, and nodded towards Sasha, “Over there, Have fun” She said, turning towards Jarvis, and Amelia.

Jarvis sighed softly, “Well… I don’t know, Amelia… If you are sick, you should rest” He said, concerned, watching her still, “It could get dangerous there… “





Sasha sighed, “Well, no, of course she didn’t” Sasha said, “Especially if she had told you to leave her alone, or gave any indication that she didn’t want your company, or closeness. You’re lucky she didn’t melt you” She said wearily, “I’d stay away from her, if I were you. If Damien got involved, you must have really pissed them both off” She looked up at the ceiling, thoughtful for a moment or two, wondering if she should go and speak with Penny for a bit… but she figured, for now, that Damien had her.

Sighing softly, she looked back to Lazarus and Shujin. “She’s a very… private person, Shujin. Just forcing your comfort on her, is not a good thing. You should leave her be” She shrugged,

“You should” She said softly, “Just don’t stay away too long, okay” She said to Lazarus.

She looked over as someone approached them, watching in amusement. “I’m Sasha. Although Shujin is rather feminine” She said, in a light, teasing tone, shifting to face them. “And yes, we are wanting dragon slayers”





Letting herself for just a few moments rest in his hug, Penny sighed softly. She tried to let his words provide her comfort. She knew he was right… But feeling like she was failing Ariel made her feel like she was failing Solias. Even if she couldn’t do anything about it, she was going to worry. But she nodded, and said softly “I know.”

She was silent a moment, watching the sun rise as well, “The trouble is, that I can’t help but feel responsible, for so many things… Ariel may never come around- especially with Nolan… he doesn’t seem to like me at all.” There were many things that she knew she couldn’t change… which wouldn’t stop her trying.

“Are you going with the expedition?” She wasn't entirely too sure what was going on, where everyone would be going or who would be staying.

Trip to North Newnan
Riley, Chloe, Ravi & Niesha


Location: Headed to North of Newnan





Niesha was silent for a few moments as Riley spoke, a few thoughts rolling around in her mind. Finally, she said very softly, "Sometimes it seems that we have these months of okay day to day life, and then something happens, like a switch flipping, and.... everything just seems to go to hell" She let the words trail off, falling silent once more, looking back the way they had come, waiting for Ravi and Chloe. Once more, she let herself think on what they were doing. And why. Going beyond the walls was nothing, not when you compared it to the reason, to giving Miss Sally a proper send off.

That was what mattered, and she wanted to be gone, to be back so that they could give her the proper burial she deserved. It was a chance to be reminded that they were all human, and human traditions needed to be respected, that reminder... so maybe they could all heal. "But doing this is right, and I know we will come back"

Riley listened to Niesha as she spoke and gave a slight nod, except for yesterday everyday seemed to be a living hell to her at least in her eyes. The only things that she cared about now were her sister and Amelia both still alive and well within the walls, with her. "Things will get better, and then go bad its an endless cycle." Riley said with a slight shrug as she picked up her supplies and strapped them over her shoulder looking over at Niesha.

"Are you still okay, I mean going out there that is?" Riley asked, she had been on a few runs in the past but nothing recent that she could remember, she then looked forward as she crossed her arms over her chest as she patiently waited for her sister and the new guy Ravi to swing on by and they could finally get on with this supply run. "Also are we going to be getting anything else while we are out there?" She knew that they needed embalming supplies but that's about it, she wasn't sure what else they would actually need.

Niesha gave a shrug, "I'm okay. It's for a good reason, and I'll be fine out there. I was for a long time before being brought in here, after all" She said, her tone light, before she shook her head, "No, i don't think so. just the embalming supplies... and... hm. Do we get a casket? Might be hard to bring back though. I guess we can see" she said thoughtfully, before shrugging once more, "Whats taking them so long, we should be gone"

"We're right here." Chloe said bitterly. She and Ravi had just made it to the gate. They had taken a little longer to arrive, mostly because both Niesha and Riley split off early. And of course, the entire way over, Chloe was wordlessly checking herself for symptoms. If Irish really had drugged her, she didn't expect the hallucination to be a one time thing. It made her be a little bit crabby in general. "Let's move," Chloe muttered, before marching off already.

Ravi looked at Riley and Niesha a bit apologetically. From what he could tell, Chloe was getting crabbier by the minute. Had the world not gone to hell, he would've suggested a Starbucks run in order to get her some apparently much needed coffee. Instead, all he could do was stand around and feel a tad bit awkward.

Riley looked towards Niesha when she mentioned a casket and gave a slight nod, it would be more respectful if they could find one but that's if they were able to actually find one while they were there. "A casket would be nice, that's if there is one there we will find a way to bring it back." Riley said as she heard her sister her eyes looking over towards Ravi and gave him a friendly smile, she instantly however picked up Chloe's attitude and wondered what was wrong with her.

Riley waved for the guard at the gate to let them through and started to follow along side Chloe, she gently rested a hand on her shoulder and looked at her with a concerned look. "Whats wrong Chloe? You look like you want to eat someones face off."

"Nothing. Everything's fine," Chloe said. She didn't exactly want to tell her sister that she suspected there was an unknown drug in her system. Everyone had a lot on their plates and she didn't feel like destroying the trust that had recently been formed.

Use to mere indifference from Chloe, over the last few months, Niesha found it particularly unpleasant to be on the end of her bitterness. She turned to the other woman's retreating back, and said "You don't have to like me, but if all you're going to do is bite our heads off, then just shut up. We aren't here for you, we aren't here for any of us, we are here for a woman who died, a good woman, who gave her all to this community, and if you can't appreciate that, if you can't focus on that, then what the hell are you doing here?" More then a little annoyed, Niesha started off, but stay as far away as she could get from Chloe as was reasonably possible. She didn't know why Chloe didn't like her, and right then, she didn't care.

She turned ehr thoughts to their mission, and getting what they needed, in and out as quickly as possible, perfectly without losing anyone. Just a run. She'd done plenty of them before, before finding Newman. Easy. Right? She hoped so. She sighed, shifting her things into a better position on her back, ready to grab the borrowed bow at the slightest sight of anything dangerous. Focus on the mission.

That was all she could do right then.

Chloe raised an eyebrow at Niesha. She hadn't, in her opinion, said anything of the sort. It was just more evidence to her that Niesha was too emotional to go outside of the walls at the moment. "When the fucking hell did I say any of that? When did I bite your head off, huh? Do you want me to be a bitch to you, because I can be a bitch. I'm proficient in bitch-craft. Get angry at me for the things I've done, but never fucking accuse me of things that I haven't. Not once have I said this was about me. Not once did I say it was about everyone else. Hell, all I've done is try to fucking help. I get you're hurting, but don't take this shit out on me. "

Chloe wanted to march off, but she felt like an intense fire was burning through her. This was anger, new anger and old anger, all at once. "I didn't have to come and fucking help with this. But this isn't for Miss Sally at the end of the day. It's for the people who are still alive. The dead don't give a shit because they don't know shit. Death is something that happens to everyone else, not the person who died. It's awful that Miss Sally died, but it's shitty that everyone died. Those tributes Tatiana made for the dead? They're for the living. Don't forget that."

Ravi wasn't sure whether or not he should intervene. He didn't know the two gingers had history, but this fight wasn't going to help anyone outside of the walls. "I'm not trying to be a git, and I don't know you two, but you need to stow it, both of you," Ravi said bluntly. "The more energy you put into fighting with each other, the less you'll be focusing on getting the job done."

Riley's eyes wondered between both Niesha and Chloe, she could easily feel the tension between the two once Niesha had spoken she rubbed the back of her neck letting out a slightly annoyed sigh. Then Chloe snapped back at Niesha, this was certainly going to be an interesting run a new guy and her pissed off sister and Niesha. "We all need to work on this shit together, we are all hurting today but we really cant afford to be at anyone's throats now like the new guy said. We need to just stow it and get this stuff done and the sooner we can all get back."

"You can still respect the dead, and thats what this is. Respecting her. Your tone was biting, and that is that" Niesha replied, before she feel silent, turning away from Chloe. she just wouldn't deal with her. Worked so far, so well. She walked a little bit away from the group, deciding right then that that was for the best. She just wanted to get this over with. She wanted to get back to those she cared about.

She sighed, taking her bow in her hand, so that she was at the ready should anything sneak by, turning her energies to that task.

Chloe was walking on ahead. She had heard what everyone said and she honestly didn't have anything else to say. She hadn't disrespected Miss Sally, but it was clear to her that Niesha was just an emotional mess. As soon as this was over with, she was going to head on home, find anything in the house that she could smoke, and blow off some steam. If it wasn't for Riley, she'd likely have left Newnan that day, with or without Ryan. She was ahead of everyone else by a fair few paces, scanning the road ahead of them.

"Right. Now that that's settled, does anyone know what the funeral parlor should look like?" Ravi asked.

Riley shouldered her crossbow over her shoulder and rubbed the bridge of her nose as she watched Chloe and Niesha walking ahead of her and Ravi. "Sorry about my sister, she really isn't snippy like that, neither is Niesha." Riley said towards him as she kept her eyes very close to Niesha and Chloe as the two walked ahead of them, she would have to check up on Chloe when she had a free moment during the run or when they got back behind the walls. "I've walked past it a few times on a few other runs, its a big white building looking like a southern manor back during the civil war times or something like that."

"It's no problem, really," Ravi replied, smiling kindly at Riley. "I've traveled with a crazed Texan for more than a month now. I can handle two distressed ginger girls."

As they continued to walk, Niesha kept her gaze out for the funeral home, letting Riley do the talking for now. As the large white building came into view, Niesha was relieved that they arrived safely. Guessing that it would be dark in the building, she automatically reached for the borrowed flashlight.

"I'm sure that you got some interesting stories with your partner then huh?" Riley said as they got to the funeral home, she stopped for a moment as she noticed in the parking lot that there looked to be a set of tank tracks? Riley walked over to get a closer look at them and knelt down to get a better look. "Looks like someone is driving something big around here." She said to herself, before getting up looking over towards Ravi, Chloe and Niesha.

Ravi blinked for a moment, hoping that partner was meant the way it was in western films. If she had the impression that he and Gavin were more than just mates...He opened his mouth to protest for a moment and to remind everyone that he was, in fact, straight. But he closed it abruptly, only to gawk once more at the large tracks left in the snow. Beyond the general size of the contraption, the tracks didn't tell him much. He didn't have the luxury of asking a forensic tech to match the prints in this scenario.

"Fucking hell," Chloe frowned. "What made that? Another Hordebuster?" Chloe snorted. "Shit, maybe we aren't alone in the world after all. It could be aliens." She wouldn't have been too surprised at this point. As angry as she was, the entire day had been insane. There hadn't been any return to normalcy, so why would that happen now? It was foolish to expect that.

"I know you guys are still pissy at each other but please stay close and pay close attention." Riley said looking towards Ravi. "Stay close as well." She said as Riley opened the door, it opened rather easily, seeing that all the windows had been boarded up it was pretty dark inside taking out her flash light Riley started to take a step inside so far it seemed to be Walker free.



Karena and Selena



Location Gym
Interacting with: Each other





Selena wasn’t sure at all what to make of this hunter… she was bold and sure of herself, but then, most hunters were. Yet she seemed… kind in her own way, and understanding. It threw her off balance- most hunters when they found out what she was generally tried to kill her or distrusted her too much to even give her a little bit of help. Karena seemed different.., Oh, Selena was sure that Karena didn’t trust her as far as she could throw her, the feeling was mutual, but at least she was tolerating her. That was more then she got from most people. ”Well. I understand that the Alpha is busy, and I don’t want to disturb her, yet. But I clearly have to speak with her, and will do so tonight. I’d rather she not be warned about me- Just so she doesn’t think I’ve been going about things behind her back.

I can also understand that you wish to keep an eye on me. I would, if I were you”
Selena said with mild amusement, ”So, I’ll just hang around the gym a bit then, shall I? If you see a white cat with bi-colour eyes, she’s mine. She always manages to find me, no matter where I go” Selena said, as she showed herself out the office, a little glad to be away from there.

Bemused, Karena listened to the young woman, and watched her go. Not much older than her girls, and yet, this girl had all the confidence of them and more, yet it was wrapped around a shattered frame. Shifting, Karena pulled herself closer to her desk, opening her computer once more, she began to type. It was time she took a closer look at dear ol’ Abe, and his wayward adopted daughter. There was more to the girl then meets the eye.

Selena stepped out into the gym, walking down the stairs and towards some of the gym equipment. She smiled to herself, and began to work out on some of the machines. It was always amusing to see the humans impressed by how much she could lift. She never over did it- no point making them think she was a monster.

If only they knew.

She let her thoughts wonder. There was so much going on… and so much she needed to do. But only a few things she wanted. And one of them was to stay as far away from the girl as possible. Even if she knew that it would backfire in the end. She just wouldn’t go to the hospital. Surely the alpha wouldn’t go there, wouldn’t be there all day?

Selena sighed, resigning herself to her fate. Maybe the girl wouldn’t want anything romantic or such… maybe they’d just be friends, and then Selena could kind of be free. Yeah, right. She’d always be lured back to the girl, and never have any other pursuits. That was the way of imprinting.
