She stopped a few feet away from Jen and Velius, smiling at them and letting Winnie wander off. She made sure the safety on her gun was on before putting it away and nodding at the two. "I don't think I've introduced myself, I'm Victory," She pointed at Winnie and smiled happily "And that is my trusty sidekick Winnie."
"Velius Bloodstone. Just call me V." He says, raising a brow as he hauls his sniper over his shoulder. "And that's Luna, my companion." He glances at Winnie and Luna. Luna was sniffing curiously at Winnie as her tail wagged. He glances at Jen was a slight smile.
Winnie's tail wagged faster and she sniffed at Luna. Victory nodded and watched her dog carefully, making sure that he wasn't going to get hurt by Velius' wolf. "Any plans?" She asked, tapping her foot and taking off her backpack to grab some food.
"and I'm Jen" Jenester mutters silently as he put his metal baseball bat back in its place. He looks at Velius right when he had glanced at him and smiled but he quickly averted his eyes, walking away flustered while cursing under his breath. Also leaving Velius to talk with Victory. Jen grabs his gun and checks it for the hundredth time that day since he had nothing to do.
"I'm heading north. I'm hoping to at least catch up with my cousin. But. We lost communication after a storm. We agreed to meet up somewhere along the border of America and Canada on the Middle east side." Velius shrugs before whistling sharply. Luna perks and walks to his side. He pets the top of her head. "You're welcome to join us." He shrugs. "That goes for you as well, Jen." He calls over to the other male. He could have sworn he saw pink on the others cheeks, but it was dark and he wasn't so sure. "Better to travel in groups, right?" He chuckles.
Victory shrugged, "I have nothing better to do, count me in." She clicked her tongue and Winnie trotted over to her, her tail wagging easily. She swung her backpack onto her back and nodded "I'm ready to go, hopefully before night hits and all of the wonderful infected come out,"
Jen accidentally drops a few bullets he was recharging onto his gun when he hears Velius call out to him. "Fuck." He says scrambling to pick up the fallen bullets, then looks over at the others. "Oh, yeah, sure, I'm down. As long as we can pass by my parent's house…I have some…unfinished business." He hesitates but keeps his sentence simple and short.
Velius nods and sets a hand on his hip. "Sounds good." He watches the other for a moment before glancing at Victory. "You need to make any stops as well?" He asks curiously. He himself didn't, but he figured he might as well ask.
"Nope," She shook her head and watched the others carefully, not completely on board with the idea of traveling with two strangers. She shrugged the thought away, focusing on the fact that they were going to a safer place instead of the fact that it was two guys and herself.
Jen nods, fixing his mess then throwing on his backpack that he had taken off in the process. "So when do we leave? Right now? Or are we gonna spend the night in the gas station?" He said shifting his weight onto his other leg.
"It's easier to travel at night. My studies indicated that they're less active at night. So we best get moving." Velius explains, shouldering his bag. Luna woofs in agreement. He smiles at her. Then looks at Jen. As much as he didn't like working with others, this was the safest option.
Jen shrugs and nods again. "Alright, sounds cool, I wasn't gonna get any sleep anyways" He starts walking in the opposite direction they're supposed to go and realizes this. He flushes a bit red from embarrassment before turning in the right direction they're supposed to be heading. "Let's get goin' then."
Victory nodded "ok," she adjusted her backpack strap and grabbed her gun again before starting to follow Jen. Winnie trotted alongside her and she smiled, happy to have a companion that she knew.
Velius walks beside them, smiling at Jen when he had gone the wrong way. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. He looks forward to see Luna trotting alongside Winnie. He chuckles softly. He had always had a soft spot for animals.
Jen saw Velius' smile when he had gone the wrong way and flushed an even brighter red. "Oh yeah real nice you idiot, what a smart ass." He whispered as he went ahead of them, taking the lead. At least he wasn't in his usual temperamental rage and that was a good thing, though he wasn't sure how long that was gonna last traveling with two people.
Velius walks at a decent pace, but if you looked carefully, you could see signs of a slight limp. His eyes are sharp as he glances around, keeping an eye out for any infected. His eyes catch the fading sun and they flash a sharp blue. As he walks he ties his hair back, sighing softly as he does so. At least he could see without the blasted pieces of hair in his face. He needed to find something sharp so he. Could cut it. But that was rare in the apocalypse. He sighs. Maybe they can make it to Canada's border.
Victory stayed silent as they walked, happy that they were getting farther from her family. Winnie wagged her tail and looked up at her when Luna started walking alongside of her. She chuckled and shook her head, reaching down to pet her dog quick before continuing on.
After hours of walking they stumbled upon a small abandoned town, it was way too dark to see if there was any imminent danger. Jen's family's house was just beyond the hills out in the country, he definitely wasn't feeling it. He stops and turns to the others. "Y'all wanna take a break or keep going?" Though it was obvious that they were tired since they had walked non-stop from the city.
(Is this still open? If not I'll just stalk this rp because it seems cool.)
(I would think that it's open since some people just dropped it but you would have to ask @Sweater_Weather)
(Cool cool I'll wait until they respond then)
Velius looks around before glancing at the other. "Yeah. That would be a good idea." He places his bag down. Luna trots to his side, nudging his side. He smiles and hands her a bit of meat and some water. "Good girl…" He mutters. He stretches and settles down, placing his sniper on his lap.
Victory nodded and sat down a few feet away from Velius. Winnie quickly laid down next to her and Victory pulled off her pack, opening the bag of jerky and taking out a few pieces for her dog. Winnie quickly ate the food before laying her head on her paws and falling asleep.
Jen nods as Velius and Victory feed their pets and take a break. "I'll go check out the place." Jen wanders around the town with his thoughts. He decided to scout the area in case the infected were hiding about. He definitely didn't want any surprises. Of course, Jen didn't mind dying and knew that it was most likely going to happen but he was pretty sure the others didn't want that kind of fate, to be turned into an infected.
(Shoot I hope this didn't die before I could even join)
(I don't think it's dead yet, at least I hope it isn't..)
(Nah, I'm still down to continue. Don't know about Bleu though)
(Ok, I'll put a response up then)
"I'm going to take a nap, don't you dare leave me, feed me to the infected or anything else." She glared at Velius for a second before going over to the wall of a building and laying down next to it, Winnie following her and laying down on the other side of her. She kept her gun in her hand and put one arm behind her head as a pillow before going to sleep.
Velius blinks. "Why the bloody hell would she stare right at me for that? I'm not that shallow." He rolls his eyes before settling down. He was alone now, only Luna to keep company with. He sighs softly, rubbing a hand through Luna's fur. He glances around hearing a far off shriek. Far enough they wouldn't have to worry about it.
