"Ah, I feel safer knowing there's at least someone trained in combat. Unfortunatally I'm not so great at it. Got the theory part down, practice is something alltogether different." She admitted. She knew all the weak points in a person but was not quite able to do anything effective enough to help. She took a seat next to Rosaleen and stretched a bit working out the small kinks in her muscles.

Lukas couldn't even pull out a sarcastic laugh, just pulled himself up and headed towards a random direction to let himself fall onto a bed. "Stairs.... wagon... heavy......" He let out just laying there. He'd be alright it was just tiring to pull his haul up there. He knew he wasn't very fit but even people in the piek of ther shape would have trouble pulling all his stuff up the stairs like he did. He let his eyes slip closed hoping that the ladies wouldn't let him die just because he wasn't female like them.

"Your friend seems very unfit, Looks like being a trained Chef isn't all it's cut out to be." She said with a laugh. she reached into her trench coat pocket and pulled out a pack of Camels and lit one. "You smoke?" She asked offering her the pack.

((Wait, has Ninde been saved?))

"Hm." Leah finally commented after thinking what seemed like hours what she would cook. Rosaleen was already gone, so she placed her sling gun and lacrosse stick over her shoulders and headed downward. There was a type of kitchen a couple of stairs down, and that is where Leah cooked for everyone. She took a can of beans and another of (probably stale) rice. Putting both in a copper pot together she placed it over a heater to cook. It wasn't a stove, but something that provided enough heat to cook someone up. Not that she would think of doing that in her life.
Leah looked through an old worn through drawer to find some bread. "Lordy, do they expec' me to jus' make them food out'a air? Who do they I 'em?" She mumbled to herself. They were running low on food.

Arina laughed. "He's not my friend, I only just met him. But he's pretty fit for one to be honest. Most are very fat because of their love of food. I was a bit surprised when I heard it to be honest." She smiled, a cigarette, how hypocritical for her to depend on those. "Don't mind if i do." She said accepting the offer. "How hypocritical of a doctor to smoke right?"

[[i believe, she swam to the island already xP]]

((yes, but, she fell asleep and is cold. Maybe i should go rescue her...island or not))

Leah got up, leaving the heater on automatic boil, so it would stop when the pot got too warm. Throwing her lacrosse stick over her back she walked down the many stairs to make it out to the shore. She was going to get new food somehow. There was a shop, what used to be an old grocer place, that still contained many different types of canned foods.
While walking out, she finally noticed that she had forgotten about the swimming girl. And there she was, lying down, probably not living on a small plot of land in the water. Leah looked a bit worried for a second, but climbed on a motar boat to sped toward. There were no undead, thanks to Rosaleen. When Leah reached the water surrounded area she walked slowly over to the girl and kicked her slightly in the side.
"Heh, ye still livin' or are ya dead?" She asked. Upon hearing no response but could hear breathing, Leah sighed and picked up the girl. Actually, Leah was pretty strong for her size, and carrying someone inside was easy. Putting her back on the motar boat, Leah headed for land.

Well, by the time they returned Leah was dead tired, but probably could still get some eats for tonight. Placing the half drowned girl inside by where the food was cooking, she slung her oversized ski jacket and a blanket over her.
"Ye better wake up alive 'lassie. I'll be cold wit'out my jacket." Leah said, and started outside again.

[[but... she's on the island, and we're not x.x]]

"Hey we all got our dark secrets." She said handing her the lighter and smiling at her joke. She laughed and blew a torrent of smoke out her nose.

She nodded. "True true." She said taking the lighter and taking a long drag of the cigarette slowly letting the smoke back out. She handed back the lighter. "Seems cozy here." She said softly getting comfortable on the couch moving a strand of black hair back behind her ear.

Lukas groaned in the bed. His stomach rumbled and he grunted. "Stupid hunger..." He said softly reaching to the wagon. He was too lazy to cook that moment and reached into the fridge grabbing a carrot. He'd really lucked out at that store, there'd been a garden behind it that someone had tended to until just recently with a lot of fresh produce. "Where's the sink?" he asked stretching and yawning.

"Yeah, I'm not sure when I'm going to finish the engine, or I kind of robbed a furniture store, that's why there is all this fancy stuff in here." She said with a laugh. She kicked off her boots and wiggled her pink toe socks then set them up on the table. "There are 32 bathrooms, pick one, each one is across from the bedroom you were just in." She said to Lukas.

Arina giggled. "Well, not like the zombies could use the fancy furniture." She joked and giggled at the pink toe socks. She didn't know why but it just made her a bit more comfortable to see Rosaleen so relaxed. She took another hit of the cigarette and looked to Lukas. "Wow, where'd you manage to find fresh produce?" she asked knowing that was getting to be rare. "Hey, before we leave, we should probably pick up as many packets of seeds as we can and start a garden on the island." She said on a side note.

Lukas looked to Rosaleen "Thanks." was all he said, he ehaded towards one of them hearing Arina "garden behind a grocer, looks like whomever was tending it must have just recently... well abandoned it in whatever way they had." He went to a sink and started to wash off the carrot and broke a piece off offering it to the ladies "It's good for your eyes." He joked quietly.

Rosaleen thanked him and ate the carrot. It was mouthwatering good, she yawned slightly and grabbed the remote and turned on the Televison. "We don't have cable, since no one is running it anymore, but we got Dvd's and VhS, and we have a couple generators I made that run the place." She said as Fight Club came on. "There's a block buster about a block away, we just about cleaned them out, and wall mart."

[>.> -totally works at wal-mart]

Arina took her piece and ate it silently watching the tv. She'd gotten quite comfortable on the couch and her thoughts started to wander. Rosaleen was dare say a very beautiful woman. She had military training so she seemed in pristeen shape which was even more fascinating to Arina. She blushed and looked away as she had caught herself oogling the woman.

Lukas looked at the tv and shrugged. "I've not seen a working television in a while, let alone a moving picture. So this is a pretty good treat to me." He said sitting down on a chair and eating his part of the carrot. He loved the taste of a nice fresh vegetable. It made him tear up with happiness.

"Don't start crying, Weakness is a real bad sign to show to strangers." She said throwing one of the fake oranges from the table at his head. She laughed and let her eyes move to the girl beside her. They started at her feet and slowly moved up resting on her chest for a few seconds before moving on to her face. She was very beautiful, and she looked strong. "So, where did you guys come from?" She asked tearing her eyes away.

Arina looked back up at Rosaleen as she answered "Maine, honestly, I'm surprised I made it this far." She admitted blushing a bit. "Like I said, I'm not very good at protecting myself." She said blushing a little. "Mostly just not sleeping is what's kept me alive...." She laughed slightly.

Lukas stuck his tongue out dodging the fake orange. "I was not crying out of sadness, it was tears of joy. This carrot is the first fresh thing I've eaten in months. And, I'm from New Orleans." He answered going back to eating his carrot.

"And you came to New York, is there really no other safe place other then Ellis?" Rosaleen asked ignoring Lukas with an annoyed sigh.

"Nope, according to what I've heard it's the only place to go." She said crossing her legs and leaning her head back on the couch. "Most places have cemetaries but ellis doesn't so it's the only place that they can't get to." She shrugged "I mean there's little places like this along the way where it's a bit safe but, you know..." She said softly. "It gets a little lonely, when there's only a few survivors in a town.

{Thanks for rescuing my character XP I thought everyone else was on the island XD Ah, I'm so stupid! ^^"}

Ninde woke up to the feel of something heavy pressing down upon her. Mistaking it for a zombie she started to struggle before reaching for her trusted pistol that was still snug by her hip. As she drew it out she finally realized what must have happened when she was unconscious. She smelt food and realized that it had been a few days before she had eaten. Reluctant of loosing their warmth and the secure feeling they gave, Ninde removed the blanket and the jacket from on top of her.
"Hello?" she called out. Standing up she called again, but louder. "HELLO?" she walked out to the front door.

((I thought so too, I had to edit my post to make that fit. ;D She lives!! Also, i don't know what the rule about language is here, so i beeped it out. Leah likes to swear a lot. ))

Leah traveled along the rooftops of buildings, careful not to alert anyone or anything down below. She was, as she had said before, a bit cold with only her shorts and her t-shirt. Still, it was pretty easy to cope with the chill weather. When she had finally reached the grocer, and seeing that his garden was currently bare, she shuffled into the shop to look for goods. The bottles and cans on the shelves now would probably only last them a few more months, seeing that another had joined as well. Wonder if she woke up by now... Leah though, but turned to mind to the task ahead.

While pulling assorted bean cans and water of the shelves, Leah was unaware of what was stalking behind her. Looking over, she jumped at the now apparent undead being behind her. Either he was already in here or had followed her, and since it wasn't light in the old store, he could easily move around. Abruptly it started to attack, throwing it's arms in all sorts of directions to strike. Leah, a little shocked at first but handling the situation, pulled her lacrosse stick and slamming it down on top of the zombie creature. "Ye ***." She stated, "You didn' even give me time to adjust 'lad." Throwing her weapon around her head until she hand enough power to stab into the undead thing. Three marks over all, one in the heart, one in the brain, and one in face. It was Leah's way of "killing" zombies, even though she wasn't sure if she had actually gotten rid of them entirely. As long as they didn't get up for a few more hours so she could leave, she was perfectly fine. The old blood that spread wasn't such a pretty sight though, so she quickly turned to put some more canned items into a nearby shopping cart.

Four cans of beans, a one-gallon container of water, two rice packets, canned peaches and different sorts of cereal were stacked into the cart for home. Checking back outside to see if the sun had gone down, Leah realized it was probably safe enough to go home. Jumping onto the shopping cart, she wheeled it down the slightly slanted roads until she was completely back at the...well...whatever you would call it. "Hideout" I guess, but Leah just referred to it as "home". Going back in her way, which happened to be her own secret doorway to the kitchen (which was also her room), she placed the shopping cart back and started unpacking. Thankful I found ye little shoppin' cart, it would have been harder to carry all this 'ere... she though, wait a second... She continued thinking, looking behind to her too an abandoned blanket and her sweater. "Speak of 'eh devil, she actually got up."

{lol In the plot theme-majig it says that the only place left is the Statue of Liberty so it's kinda confusing XD 0.e lol YAY!! I don't know that rules either. lol Ooh, btw, I like your signature! It's happy ^^}

Ninde sighed before coming back into the hideout. Stomach growls reminded her of the feeling of hunger that had been living in her gut for the past three days or so. Trying to remember the lay of the place, she walked over to where she had woken up, only to see a silhouette of a human standing in what seemed to be the kitchen.
"Hello?" Ninde asked more than greeted. Taking a step closer she pulled out her trusted pistol and took aim at the figure. You could never be too careful, especially with flesh-eating zombies on the loose.

Leah turned from her cooking to see the now awakened frozen girl wielding a gun. She was still pretty wet overall, and probably didn't see that Leah was flesh and blood. "Aye, lassie, it ain't nothing but little ol' me." Leah stated, pulling back on her sweater and slowly moving back to open a fresh can of beans for the "meal" that was to be presented for tonight. "And put 'at d**n gun down, ye ain't gonna be needin' et 'ere." She finished roughly, but understood the girl's caution. She hadn't probably had talked to anyone in awhile, and Leah just sat around here most of the time with the other folk.

"Oh, for 'te introductions. I be Leah, and who might ye be?" Leah said, now pulling the rice and bean creation off the heater stove and placing it in a makeshift bowl. There were other things in the food storage besides the items Leah had gotten earlier. There were assorted canned fruits and veggies, different sorts of liquids (mostly milk and cream) stored in a refrigeration unit, Expired but still good boxes of Kraft mac and cheese, sourdough and wheat bread, salomi, and fresh eggs. There were three chickens that lived elsewhere around the area, but they all went to a same place down by an abandoned café to lay there eggs. All Leah had to do was come over every morning to collect them.

((Okay, so who is all on Ellis Island, and who's still in the city? I thought you were in the city with Rosaleen Little Miss?))

((Well i think i still am. O.O I have actually no idea where everyone is))

((I'm confused....all right want to just start over and reintroduce each character? Or just try to figure out where we are? Cuz I know I am in the apartment/house/condo thingy with another person.))

((And that is where i was, i think. Leah went over to the island to save someone, and came back to the -calling it a home- (where everyone else is) to cook dinner. She did leave for a sec to get some food and kill a zombie too))

((Awe, but how did she get over? Is there a secret boat that she's not telling Rosaleen about?))
