(Great~
Now, where is everyone? (: )

Setting his pack down, Gabriel took up residence in a small house across the street from the entrance to Central Park. He fished out a small propane stove and warmed up a can of whole kernal corn. He slid it into a bowl and sat in the second story window, taking in the park and wondering where to begin searching for the two runaways. Sighing, he pulled out the picture of his house and stared at it for a while. It would be nice to revisit, but it was on the other side of the country; Not a fun journey by foot. Sliding back inside, Gabriel packed up his cooking gear and proceeded down Central Park's main trailI. It was better than nothing.

Lee wasn’t as upset as Destiny assumed she would be. The minute they set out, the girl fell sleepy again and Destiny carried her sleeping form to wherever they were headed. With luck on her side, Destiny didn’t run into any Undead, not thieves or any members of the Hunt. She hoped that the horde she had set in one of the Hunt’s groups had eaten every single one of them.
Destiny didn’t know how long she had been walking, but soon she grew tired. It seemed that she had reached Central Park, and she assumed it would be a good place to hide and recover her strength. She was hungry, too, so she pulled out a pack of Pringles and started eating, adjusting Lee on her lap so she wouldn’t be uncomfortable.

Sad to see the kid go, Orion was slow in packing up his things. Cursing himself, for not asking to travel with Destiny and her young charge. Life was something to be protected out here, and he had let them go without at least asking. Looting some food from already picked over houses, he pressed onward. Orion had heard that there was a group of survivors living in Central Park, so he sets off for it. Taking out a few Undead along the way, one less in the world for other people to deal with. Arriving, he sat for a moment and just looked around at the still green trees, breathing the slightly cleaner air. Climbing a tree, he sat, and just watched the world go by.

Destiny looked at Lee with sharp eyes, making the little girl squirm.
"Dusty, I'm fine," the girl whined. "I'm okay! I can walk!" she struggled in Destiny's arms, trying to slip down but the older woman's grip was too strong.
"You are not fine," Destiny said, turning away from Lee. "You are still pale. You can hardly walk without tripping or stumbling. If an Undead drops by, I want you where I can protect you."
"How will you protect me if you're holding me, Dusty?" the little girl argued.
"I'll manage," Destiny reached a clothes store and went inside, looking at dresses after dresses. She reached an aisle for children's clothes and found a few dresses for Lee. She then let Lee pick out an outfit for herself, knowing Lee liked doing that for her. When they were done, Destiny swept the place with her eyes, trying to find people she had to stay away from. Her eyes landed on the guy who had attempted to mug her, and Orion.
Yeah, two people she really had to keep her distance from. Orion was fine, but the other man would give Lee a fright.

//hello im new

??nevermind

// can I join somehow?

(Everyone's welcome to join ^^ The more the merrier)

Gabe saw Neo, and ducked. He wasn't looking for confrontation, or even conversation. He just wanted to make sure the girl made it through ok. He kept his rifle holstered and listened, ignoring the movement he noticed in the corner of his vision.

Orion saw the Undead stalking a man with a rifle and scope, and hoisted his bag further into the tree. Walking along the branches, barefooted, he draws his blades. Dark blue eyes glinting dangerously, he hovered above the Undead, sure of his footing. Without a sound, Orion dropped, blades pointing down. Smoothly, he pierced the skull of the creature, and as it tumbled it crashed into the bushes with a loud clatter. Orion stood, sure that the noise would have gotten the attention of the other man.

His rifle was up and at the ready before Gabe had fully registered what had happened. His wild eyes went here, then there, and finally landed on the bushes not to far from him, where a monster had fallen, dead from stab wounds to the head. Gabe didn't move, just checked his corners and kept looking around. He didn't want to expose himself to Neo, but he couldn't just ignore what had happened. Neo would be able to see him if he poked his head above the ditch,so he stayed flat.

Finally, he saw his savior, with blades drawn and bloody. Before he said a word, Gabriel motioned, Quiet. Get down!

Orion dropped like a stone, pressing himself to the ground.

(Was it just me whose Notebook wasn’t working?)

Destiny’s head snapped up as she heard a loud crash. Cautiously, she pulled Lee behind her and took a step forward quietly. When she peeked out of her hiding spot, she wished she hadn’t.
Because down below, hiding in a ditch, were the mugger and Orion. Deadpanning, she shook her head and pretended she saw nothing

(But is it undead?)

(Gasp! That pun!)
