(it's what I call my parents :P)

"No. I do not. I do not even know where I am." Calla stopped screaming, instead clenching her fists and trembling. "I am blind." she whispered. "I have said this already."

“I know, sweetie,” she said. “How long have you been looking.”

"I don't know. I am six." she held up six fingers, one on one hand, all five on the other.

“Okay, can you remember the last time you saw them?”

"Saw?" how could this person be so ignorant? Calla shuffled awkwardly and kept her head down.

“Sorry,” she said hastily, realizing her mistake. “Last time you were with them.”

"Before the woman started to burn." she fiddled with her fingers. "Before she started to scream. Before the flames consumed her and burnt the flesh off her bones." she seemed to be staring off into space, her eyes taking a dull look.

“….okay then. Right before?”

"Yes. We were separated in the crowd."

“Alright. What’s your name?” She asked, straightening up.

Calla stiffened. "I do not know if I should tell you that."

“Can you tell me something your parental unit would recognize you by?”

"I am blind." Calla said, sniffing the smoke-filled air.

“I mean, I guess that would work,” she said, looking around. “Hello? There’s a blind girl here who’s looking for her parental unit!” The shouts attracted a little attention.

Orion continued to kneel next to the girl. "Alright, let's find your parents then, yeah? What do their voices sound like, are they big when they hug you, or small? Does your father's face feel scratchy? Does your mother have long hair, or short, and is it soft when you touch it. Do they smell like anything in particular?"

"Parental unit #1's voice is scratchy, rough. She is very big and wraps me in very jello-like hugs. She has a rough face, pimply, I think. And short hair, definitely. Parental unit #2 has a very soft, silky voice. He is very thin and bony. He does not hug me. He has a soft, round face and long hair." Calla smiled, a rare sight to most.

Orion thanks the girl, and stands, looking around at the passing people. Looking for a heavyset woman with short hair, a rough voice, possibly a smoker, with acne. Turning he looks for the man, tall, thin, without a beard or scruff, and with hair longer than the usual military cut.

Zyna slowly walks around the city, not really going anywhere or looking where she was headed. Turning around a corner she ran headfirst into a man, knocking him over. "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! Are you ok?"
(Sorry for butting in, but I'm not sure what else to do…)

“There’s someone,” Julianna said to Orion, pointing at a woman that looked like she matched Calla’s description. She jogged to her and talked for a bit before returning. “Never mind.”

(Lol okay, I’ll just have you run into Oliver because he’s shady and is carrying a body lmao)

Oliver grunted sharply when a woman ran right into his chest. He stumbled, and the unusual weight on his back from the body bag filled with the scorched body caused him to fall to the ground. He hissed in pain, rubbing at the back of his head as he checked for any cuts. There were none, but he suspected that he would have one hell of a bruise. “It’s fine, I’m fine,” he said quickly, just wanting to get back to Lucy’s cabin with the goddamn body.

"Oh, I am so sorry, can I help-?" Zyna reached down to help pick up the large bag he was carrying.

Oliver shook his head quickly, moving the bone filled bag away from the woman. “No, no. It’s fine, seriously. I got it,” He said almost too quickly, standing back up and brushing himself off with his free hand.

"Uhm, ok?" Zyna narrowed her eyes. For a second there, it looked like the man was carrying a body bag, but that would be completely stupid. "So whats in the bag?"
