"Alright..Sounds a bit shady, but whatever." Erik laughed, picking himself out an airbed."So, let's go pay for this and head out." He grinned.

Cerin giggled, "yeah....pretty shadey actually...but its not like anyone I told could do anything about them anyways," he said poking eriks bed. "that seems good enough..." he walked twords the cash register.

Erik put the air bed onto the counter, getting a rather odd look from the cashier, seeing the zombie's current choice of clothing."...My eyes and skin are sensitive to light.Hoodie's the easiest way to deal with that, y'know?" He said, obviously making up an excuse so the girl behind the counter would stop staring at him.

Cerin blushed, handing the lady some money, "a..alright..." he looked at erik who was holding the mattress bag, "ahh...I can carry that..you know..." he said, hoping to be of some help, "w-we should go get you some cloths next~"

"I've got it, it's not like it's heavy." Erik smiled, walking down the street to a clothing store he liked, just from looking at the front it seemed like he could take off his hoodie in there and no one would care in fact, they'd praise him, simply for being a zombie."Ah, here we go!They have some nice t-shirts in there..And luckily, everything they carry seems to be custom made for my body type: extremely skinny and kind of tall." He laughed.

(It's not Hot Topic, if you're going to ask.XD IT'S BETTER. DEFORMED PINK SHEEP SHIRT, HERE WE COME.)

(XD yay~)

Cerin stared a tthe entrance frightend "a-are you sure THEY wont eat me?" he stood back slightly, hoping none of them would see him.


(uke clothing of gayness here we come!!) (shall it really be a deformed sheep?)

(No, I'll just do something funny involving calling it a deformed sheep.)

"I highly doubt any of my kind work here.The most they'll do is act like wannabe vampires, but I doubt they'd bite.fake vamp teeth can't puncture skin, I don't think." Erik laughed, entering the store, instantly taking off his hood, getting a few gasps from the workers, more like amazed, happy gasps then "OH GOD IT'S A ZOMBIE RUN FOR YOUR LIFE" gasps. Erik was instantly drawn to a certain t-shirt, one that was olive green, and had on the front an almost comical-looking cartoonish brain, dripping with blood. He flipped the shirt around and laughed at the saying on the back, right below the collar in bold white lettering.'Brains, it's what's for dinner!' "I love this shirt, Ceci!" The zombified male said, still laughing a bit.

Cerin stared at the shirt, laughing nervously, "well it suits you.." he said finally entering the store, but staying close behind erik, he looked around a bit himself, hoping noone ther actually tried to bite him, "ahh!" he walked only a few steps away finding a shirt that he liked, It was blue, and had a sheep on it, "this looks cool..." as he picked it up he noticed another shirt under it, "hey look! I think this is a sheep to!" he held up THE shirt, with a strange brain looking sheep on it, "its pink even"

"Those are both brains..Okay, no, the blue one is a sheep, the other is, like, a deformed red and pink sheep-brain-thing." Erik laughed."That's just so fun to say!Brain-sheep!I'd better stop, otherwise I'll get really hungry..The sheep would look cute on you.You're kinda like a sheep.Cute, skittish and kinda oblivious to everything.."

Cerin pouted "im not oblivious to everything!" he pouted, looking at the pink one, "ahh...I mean...It is kind of a brain sheep...weird...but its still cute~"

"Actually, the one I picked kind of looks like a brain sheep too, they're all the same shirt, but different colors.See?There's the head, and there's the legs.The little swirls on the brain are like the wool." Erik laughed, taking the green shirt off of the rack and hanging it over his arm."You can keep looking in the shirts, I'm going to go find me a few pairs of pants..I'll need more than these raggy old things."

Cerin laughed, the brain sheep were so funny looking, but..he didnt quiet feel safe outside alone "n-no..I..Ill follow you..." he said, his nervousness coming back, "maybe you can try to force me into a skirt of something" he joked, not serious at all.

"I'm walking halfway across the store, Cerin..I'll still be able to see you from over there, you stand out like a sore thumb in here." Erik laughed."Don't be so nervous, you won't be abducted or anything."

Cerin blushed, he really didnt like standing out, "ahh...may.." he winced, feeling a bit stupid, "ah..I guess... then.." he looked around, people were sort of staring at him, "s-s-sorry!" he backed away, hoping they would go away if he closed his eyes, "pl-please dont eat me....please...." he backed into a display of earings and other peircing equipment, "GAH!" he looked to it in shock, scared of it for a moment, before dropping his shirts, and bolting out of the store.

Erik laughed and picked up the shirts that Cerin dropped, setting them down nearby and dragging Ceci back in."Don't be so nervous.." He said, picking up the shirts and picking himself out a few pairs of pants, two pairs of normal jeans and a pair of cargo shorts, then picking himself out a few more shirts, and a couple sets of earrings, simple silver skull-shaped studs, and a pair of small silver rings."I bet you didn't know my ears are pierced.. two holes on each ears, actually.I'm not scared of needles." He laughed, keeping Ceci close to him.

Cerin clung to Erik, his eyes shifting around, "a-are you sure its safe?" he stood on his tiptoes and looked at eriks left ear, "wow granted your slightly rotting" he giggled "your ears really are peirced..." he stood and frowned up at erik "I could never do that..." he shudderd "I've had enough of other people holding needles in my direction and all.."

"I'm sure.No one's going to hurt you, it was just a display of earrings." Erik laughed."And I didn't rot THAT badly..I was preserved quite well, I think.And piercings don't hurt horribly, you feel a little prick, then a bit of burning, and in a few months you can change the ring to whatever you'd like. Simple, only painful for a few minutes."

Cerin shook his head "I still don't like needles," he stared at the earing case, with all its violent looking accessories, "I'd rather not have any of them inside of me anymore.." he shuddered, still holding onto Erik, "Ahh..so-sorry" he said, tring to let go, his hands no tlistening, "I-I guess I'm a little nervous..."

"It's alright..Just eventually, you have to overcome your fears..I actually got my ears pierced to get over my fear of needles." Erik laughed. " Acupuncture could also help you, I hear it works really well..It could help you calm down, be less nervous.The only problem is the needles."

Cerin shook his head again "I have a reall good reason to fear needls though...more needls wont help make it go away..I'm pretty sure of that!" HE burried his head in eriks chest, clinging to him and tring to dissapear.

A pale young man with dark circles around his eyes, it was hard to tell if the circles were just makeup, or if he hadn't slept in a week. Despite that, he seemed quite feminine, in fact it was very hard to tell he was a man, other than his flat chest.He had short, cute black hair and wore a cute t-shirt with an adorably drawn skeleton cat on it, and a cute skirt that went down to just above his knees, and a pair of hot pink sneakers."I'm sorry for being really nosy but I couldn't help but hear your conversation..I used to be r-really afraid of needles..Airplanes passing by..People touching me..Tiny insects that you can't see with the naked eye..A lot of things, actually..I got acupuncture done and..Well, I still fear a lot of things, but needles aren't so scary anymore.." The teen said, fiddling with one of his earrings."Wait..E-Erik?Erik Kauffmann?I haven't seen you in years.."

"Ari?!Aaroni Keen?You haven't changed a bit!" Erik laughed."Yeah..Weird things happened, I won't go into detail right now..Don't tell anyone I'm back, alright?I don't want a big freakout."

"I won't.Y-you know how well I keep my promises, right, Eri?" The boy blushed a bit, adjusting the bright pink and black checkered headband he wore in his hair.

(The new boy's name is rather ironic, not so much his real first name, but his pet-name, and his last name, both mean 'brave'.He's anything but.XD )

In stead of just fearing people, cerin now learnd to fear muc hmore "there are insects that small!" cerin squeeked, his hands cluching tighter to eriks shirt, as he looked around on the ground, "oh crap!" he was soo freaked out in fact, that he missed the rest of erik and Ari's conversation, "I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die I'm gonna die!"

"They say they're not harmful to humans, but I know better.." Ari said, shuddering. "I don't think they can kill you, though..Actually, Eri, I'm not surprised to see you, but I'll tell you why later, if I can get some time to talk with you not in public..There's a few other people from your..Previous life, you need to see..Yes, I know what you are.." Ari grinned nervously, pulling up one of Erik's sleeves."I was there, remember?I'm sorry for not stopping him..so sorry.."

Erik sighed, pulling his sleeve back down and patting his friend's head."It's alright..Hey, it all turned out good in the end, right?Hey, Ceci, could I invite some friends over?They could help you unpack."

Cerin looked up at erik, the nervousness aparent on his face. zombies were going to invade his safe place, and then they were going to eat him, he cringed, holding on tighter to erik's shirt, nearly tearing holes in it "I-I" he hid his face, shaking slightly, "su-s-sure..." he said, not wanting to make erik mad at him, he was honestly scared of having more people around, people who could lock him inside and do terrible things to him. Thats how it happend last time, he'd ahve to be more careful this time then, lock his bedroom door, and crawl out the window if things got to bad. His hands shoook violently, showing off th efear that was really inside of him, "I...it'll be okay...It'll be okay" he said, reassuring himself.

"Ceci, I can get paint for my room later, let's finish up here and go home." Erik grinned, walking over to a cute white, pink and black striped skirt, which wasn't quite as short as a miniskirt, but was problably still too short to be considered 'decent' in a school."Ooh, Ceci, look at this!You'd look so cute in it.."
