(Okay, I am just lost, I missed too much, where is everyone?)
(Okay, I am just lost, I missed too much, where is everyone?)
(Everyone is just coming to the realization that there are more survivors. They are all gather around a building where Nina, Jezariah, and Valerie are all going in and Caelen is just standing close by introducing himself.)
She sighed, still gripping her baseball bat in her hand as she cracked open the window and motioned for everyone to follow before slipping inside the attic.
"I think our main objective should be finding more food and treating you up. I mean I mean I had a food supply, but I don't think I'm going to have enough to feed everyone. " She gestured to her stack of canned foods in the corner as she was putting things away and making more room for people. "I also don't think I have any useful meds to treat you, I mean I have bandages, gaze, vitamins, but I don't have any antibiotics. So we'll need to make a trip to the Pharmacy." She showed them by getting out her backpack to display her items.
(Okay, I can move Adrien to where they are, or he could be talking to a Screamer and make a run for it.)
(Valerie saw Jez while she was standing on the rooftop of her little attic base thingy, and the were like "hey bro." And then Nina showed up and Valerie was like, "whelp I guess this is a thing now. THEN Caelen was there and we all like "Holy shit, there's another one and so yeah.)
(maybe if Adrien is being chased by a Screamer, the others can hear the commotion and go help them out?)
Nina perked up when she heard the topic of discussion. "Wait, I was just at the pharmacy! I have antibiotics in my bag if you need them."
"I have some food at my house. It's pretty well barricaded so if need be, we can go there to get supplies." Caelen said, putting the sword in its sheath and walking closer to the Ladder.
( @Young-Dusty, I like that idea)
Jezariah got out a thing of alcohol and held it up. "I have this that's been doing pretty well" he says proudly. He didnt need antibiotics for a lot.of things, but he definitely had to have some for this.
"But that…would probably be better than this"
Caelen came up to the roof and sat on the edge. "I'm guessing you use that as more of medicine than actual medicine." He grinned, looking back at him
Nina pulled out the right bottle and read the dosage instructions on the side, then shook out a pill for Jezeriah. "You shouldn't drink any alcohol while you're on this," she informed him. "It might make you sick. I don't exactly know what the right dose for you is, so we'll start with one pill twice a day and you'll have to let us know if you start to feel weird, okay? We should also clean the injury if you haven't already."
(I have to go for a little while, sorry)
He laughed at the guys comment, still not knowing his name. "Ha, you know it" he elbowed him a little.
"And yeah, I cleaned it already. I didnt think you had to take them.daily. that's stupid" he rolled his eyes and pooped them in his mouth.
"I'm Jezariah by the way. You can call me Jez or Jess"
(I have to go for a little while, sorry)
(Awe okay. We'll miss you)
Caelen came up to the roof and sat on the edge. "I'm guessing you use that as more of medicine than actual medicine." He grinned, looking back at him
(The roof has a window which leads to the attic, which is where they are at, don't know if I made that clear or not)
Valerie popped open the remainder of her food supply and passed out some rice and canned Spaghetti "o"s. "Alright, well since we're all here, we might as well rest up for tomorrow." She said before turning her attention onto the situation before her.
"Alright, lady, it seems like you either A. know a lot about medicine or B. are just really meticulous. So why don't we just disinfect the wound with the alcohol and wrap it up with the bandages." She commented. It had been so long since she had any human interaction that just this exchange of words was exhausting her. After being paranoid and alone for so long, she had finally begun to relax.
(I dont think anyone went inside though lmao)
"Caelen, my friends used to call me Cae but the Screamers got to them." He said nonchalantly. Caelen stood up and walked to the window. "I would rather not be out in the open when the Screamers get here, y'all coming inside?" He called, leaning against it.
( Valerie was already inside, lol.)
(back)
Nina glanced up when Valerie addressed her. "Oh, yeah, I was studying to become a nurse before….you know….everything happened. I'm no expert, but I learned the basics." She knew this was pretty much her only valuable skill, and hoped it would be enough to get her a place in this group. So far, everyone seemed nice. "It's nice to meet you, Jezeriah," she added, then glanced at the other two. "I don't think I caught your names yet? Again, I'm Nina."
(Okay, I'll somehow figure out how to bring Adrien over)
Adrien waited for a response, then receiving none cautiously stepped closer to the figure, 'I'm probably an idiot for doing this,' they thought to themself, 'But I can't be the only one left.' When they were about a few feet away, they finally realized their mistake, a loud scream was heard that made Adrien tremble with fear. The humanoid figure began to make their way towards Adrien, and well, Adrien not wanting to stay around for too long took off running in the opposite direction. Sadly, the screamer decided to do the same thing and chase them. Trying not to hyperventilate -but failing badly- they reached for their gun and tried to steady their hand to point that aim and shoot, but it was no use, there was no way that they would be able to hit that thing. Soon, they lost stamina, and their legs began to give out, 'Great just great.' They thought to themself, 'I am going to die at the hands of some Screamer.' As the creature came closer Adrien was able to get a better look, the thing was terrifying, nasty, and just plain hideous. 'WHY IN THE WORLD DID I THINK THAT THAT WAS A HUMAN!' If the time had been more opportune and safe, they would have been taking notes on the creature or studying it, but now probably wasn't the best time. As the thing made its way towards them, Adrian was praying that somehow they would get out of this alive.
The sound of Screams immediately filled the air once the night had gone pitch black.
"Hey guys, just a suggestion, but why don't we go in this very nice base I made so that we don't get eaten by Screamers. hm?" She said a bit anxious as her eyes were darting around, trying to spot if there was any possible threat nearby, once again tightly holding on to her bat. Valerie made her way in once again into her little attic space and went and sat in her little corner that had her backpack and some belongings.
Caelen heard the piercing sound and immediately included his crossbow from his back. "I can spot the screamer using the scope on this, but the rest of you should go inside unless you have weapons you can use at a distance." He said in a straight voice, peering through the small scope. There wasnt much light out and many of the streetlamps had been taken out by the creatures so it would get increasingly harder to see.
(I gotta go to bed and my internet's going bonkers, seeya tomorrow)
Nina nodded and was about to head into the attic when she heard a shout from somewhere out in the streets. "Did you hear that?" she asked Caelen, pausing. "That sounded almost human."
"Which direction did the voice come from, we can find the person if we can figure that out." He said, looking up and down streets, spotting a few smaller Screamers buts nothing that looked like it made that loud a sound.
(By the way, you can immobilize screamers with guns and stun them for a few minutes, but the only way to make sure it doesn't regenerate is to chop its head off, severing the thinker strings lol)
(Sorry I'm tired as hell)
Jezariah shot up from where he was and went right back up to the roof, looking for the human.
Hes come across some screamers that have mimicked human voices, only about two in all of the three years hes been doing this.
Saying things like "help" in their dreary voices, trying to lure in the humans. And it worked for him the first time, but the second time he knew what to do. That was about two years ago.
His mind flashed back to the rainy scene in the middle of the woods. Screamers are almost completely immobilized in the rain. He assumed it worked just like how an almost healed broken bone hurt in the rain.
His blood once again pounding in his ears as he ran through the trees before it started raining and he had thought he lost the screamer.
But no, he turned around and it was frozen in its tracks, its dusty bones creaking like metal before it sounded a groan. He assumed it was trying to scream. He took that opportunity and cut its head off and quickly got the hell outta there.
He shook himself out of his thoughts and memories before turning down to everyone below. "How long have you guys been here? You're JUST finding out there are more people???" He asks before going up again and looking for whoever was out there. But it was too hard with how dark it was getting
