tune

(Yeah that sounds good!)

thumbs up

(I think that's a great idea.)
(maybe it could be a meeting of Lucky/Lucas/Junifer/Devon/Ariella some time soon.)

(well, Lucky and Ariella just walked up on Lucas/Devon/Junifer's conversation. I guess they haven't noticed us yet?)
(also, I dont mean to control things. Lemme know if it comes off that way)

Lucas flushed and began walking back towards his bike.
"Well I was on a bike, because it's easier to go around the wrecks that way." He explained "but I guess since we're going as a group now, we can go on foot, since you guys don't have bikes."

"Unless you know where we can find some" June shrugged, "But I would keep yours if I were you, might need it later on" She hummed, practically dragging Dev as she followed Lucas.

"These are cool," he said, smiling at Liam. "Although I wouldn't leave them unattended or laying out if I were you. This beast right here absolutely loves shredding stuff. I lost my favorite pair of pants to him." He petted the German shepherd as he said this, sighing at the memory.

Liam put Tru down and she climbed up onto his shoulder. "He can have the stuffed ones." he said giving the two stuffed animals to Zeus. "If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?" he asked, looking Al up and down.

Lucas heard a voice come from behind him and a few seconds before that he swore he heard another sound… was that hooves?

Lucas spun around, he saw another strange man standing there, his hands clasping the reins of the…Lucas blinked his eyes, yes that was a horse.

He saw a pretty girl standing next to the man, looking slightly self conscious and holding an obviously eaten apple.

He raised his hand in an awkward wave. "Hello." He said, giving a small smile.

He raised his hand in an awkward wave. "Hello." He said, giving a small smile.

Lucky gave a whistle as the guy on the bike turned, and Sinjoro responded by trotting up onto the road. Lucky snagged the reins, making sure the horse wouldn't go anywhere. He was aware of Ariella behind him.
He smiled at the guy's wave. "Weird question: Are you by any chance the Lucas heading west? I saw someone paint a roof over in the city."

Devon glared at the horse, because it was not as rude as glaring at the people. June was grinning brightly, even more people, what were the odds.

Ariella just stared holes into Lucky's back. He was being open and friendly. It was going to get them killed. Perhaps she should've stayed with the horse and took him while Lucky was distracted. She looked back at the horse.
Never mind. She wouldn't have taken him. She wasn't even sure how to get into the saddle.
She did a quick scan of the people in front of them before tucking herself back behind Lucky. She didn't trust any of them, especially not his horse.

Lucas cleared his throat and smiled a real smile for the first time since he left the dorm building.
"Yes, that's me, Lucas Emilio Davenport." He said kindly, walking closer and sticking out his right hand for the stranger to shake.

Devon glared at the horse, because it was not as rude as glaring at the people.

( 🤣🤣🤣 )

Lucky reached back without looking, carefully found Ariella's hand, and squeezed it gently. He could feel her tension behind him and he wanted her to trust him. Any guy who painted his intentions on a roof for all to see wasn't a villain.
He stepped forward and shook Lucas' hand. "My name is also Lukas, just in French. I'm sorry we had to meet this way, bit it's nice to meet another." He stepped back after shaking hands. "Call me Lucky though. And this is Sinjoro." He gestured at the horse, before looking over at Devon and June. "And you? Are you headed West with him?"

Lucas nodded and gestured to June and Devon.
"They're heading West with me, this is June, she loves everyone and Devon, who hates everything." He said slyly and then laughed purely.

Lukas grinned. He was happy to have found people who seemed friendly. Even Devon.
He glanced back at Ariella. "I'll let my friend here decide if she's going to give out her name." he said carefully. He didn't want to push her.
He turned back to Lucas. "What's out West for you?"

Ariella gripped his hand tightly. She hadn't been expecting for him to give it to her, yet she was grateful for it. Ariella didn't do well around others, especially groups. The last time she was in a group, well. She touched the scar on her cheek. A permanent reminder of what humans were capable of.
She peaked out her head from behind Lucky, looking at the three in front of them. "Ariella." She said in a small voice.
She didn't let go of Lucky's hand. It was something stable and strong for her to hold on to.

Liam put Tru down and she climbed up onto his shoulder. "He can have the stuffed ones." he said giving the two stuffed animals to Zeus. "If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?" he asked, looking Al up and down.

"I know I don't really look like it, but I'm 23," Alastor smiled, watching as Zeus happily grabbed the stuffed animals and dragged them away to disembowl them.

Liam's jaw dropped. "your kidding. I thought you were like, i don't know, 19 maybe." he stood up and looked around for the sixth time. "what do you do all day?"

"I usually spend time training and working out with Zeus," Alastor said, laying down on the hard concrete. "If we can't find any people to help then I quiz myself on boring crap like chemical formulas or this like that until I fall asleep since there's really not much else to do."

"would you like to move the day you, sorry, we leave to today? It would give us something to do." Liam looked from Zeus to Alistor, and sheepishly smiled.

Lucas smiled at both Lucky and Ariella.
"Nice to meet you both." He said earnestly.

"Nothing specific is out west for me." He admitted and blushed lightly "i'm" just being a wanderer I guess."

"would you like to move the day you, sorry, we leave to today? It would give us something to do." Liam looked from Zeus to Alistor, and sheepishly smiled.

Alastor stared thoughtfully towards the open window, considering.
"Sure," he shrugged, stuffing everything in the small backpack and clipping on his belt and gun in a matter of minutes. Zeus trotted back over to them, his mouth covered in the innards of the stuffed ferrets.
"I'm not sure what or who we'll encounter… do you have a weapon you can use if you absolutely need to?" Alastor asked, removing the stuffing from the dog's mouth. Zeus sat patiently by his side, obediently waiting for the command to start sniffing for people or for a new place.

(Question: Where are we? Cuz that'll make a difference as to what 'West' is)

(I was thinking like New York city—)

(LOL right? I have no idea. How far are we into the apocalypse too?)

(like it just started about two weeks ago. So everyone that wasn't immune just all died off like few days ago)
