(Thats no problem i have to leave too i will be back in about the same time also thought i might be on a bit later. Nvm i don't have to leave till 5:00)

Akirian's hug was obviously un-expected and Ebonys eyes widened with shock at the action. She didn't seem to know how to react as she froze and looked to Charlie who seemed like he was about to explode with laughter any second.

A moment passed and Ebony jerkily patted the girls head "Er... Right... You're welcome..." She stammered.

Charlie couldn't hold it any longer he laughed and it was a good sound after the 'virus' had hit. One filled with joy and mirth that seemed to warm the street.

Akirain let go of Ebony and smiled at her and Charlie. "whats soo funny?" she asked giggling. The laughter seemed to be contagious but it felt good. She hadn't really laughed since the virus struck.

Charlie regained his composure although the smile continued to play on his lips. "I think you're the first person to ever hug Ebony." He chuckled "The look on her face. Can take on an army of festering zombies but one little hug?" He had made the mistake of advancing on them whilst talking and was thus rewarded with a punch in the arm "Ow!" He was still smiling though.

Name Richard Caleco Palance
Age Seventeen.
Sex Lots? Mallle.<33
Personality Richard is a pompous ass. He is one of the few born into money, good looks and fame, and he knows it. Not that it matters, it just makes him feel good inside. Of course, once you get past his shallowness, he's a very dedicated and hard-working individual. I'm done typing this shit now.:]
Looks Richard was once a relatively upstanding citizen, and always dresses like one, with the utmost care and consideration for his looks. He is by no means a giant of a man, being rather average in height, as well as in looks. His deliciously chocolate locks are extremely short, his very short bangs cropped just above his languid ruby gaze, wisping across his forehead. He seems to always done the same expression, usually soft, listless and carefree, an expression that never seems to waiver. He can be seen most of the time with a pair of square-framed glasses casually resting on the bridge of his nose, as well as the most eclectic and peculiar ensemble of clothing. His rich yellowy cream shirt, collared and long-sleeved, is solid in color, rolled up to the elbow for convenience. Around his upper arms two black belts are fastened, both looking much like a garters, and about his neck his favorite printed tie, deep red and green with laces of vibrant gold, in color. He donned vest matching his tie on top of it all, always taking care tuck his shirt into his black pinstriped pants, a pair of nice black dress shoes finishing off his classy look.

Akirian giggled at the fact she had been the only one to ever hug the girl and the fact that she punch the guy. "so how come you guys carry guns around?" she asked.

(To SEG: *Stamp stamp stamp* Inside joke)

Ebony shrugged "Safety baby!" She smiled and winked to Charlie who nodded. A secret message passing between the two of them. If the girl didn't link their identical tattoos, black clothing, excellent marksmanship and overload of artillary, well that just made their lives that bit easier.

"Your siblings neh?" akirian asked looking back and forth between the two. Her eyes caught sight of the bags on the ground. "whats in them?"

Ebony nodded "Charlie's my older brother." She confirmed as her light green eyes flashed over him with a smile. He was tall, handsome, well built and friendly looking, she on the other hand was slender, femenine and almost delicate in appearance. The relationship was obvious in their faces but they had come out on opposite ends of the spectrum.

"Supplies." Charlie answered the second question as the bags were shouldered once more. "Amunition, weapons, food, compas, map, water..." He shrugged and let the list trail off.

"why do you need so many guns and things?" Akirian asked.

"Have you not looked around you kid?" Ebony asked a little suprised. "The place is like something from a Resident Evil game." She Tossed her hair and looked at Charlie, once more sending secret unspoken messages.

Charlie shrugged "It's not safe. Most of the people who survived have gone a little....ferral and are dangerous, plus there are the adults...." He took a deep breath "We can deal with the kids in hand to hand combat, but there's a risk of loosing supplies, we could take the Adults on hand to hand combat, but we watch far too many late night horror movies to risk being bitten. So we stick to long range weapons if we can."

"wait what happened to the adults they died right?" Akirian asked. Akirian had never seen a scary movie in her life time. Her parents hadn't let her too protective. (Also she hasn't seen the zombies yet.)

Again the two exchanged looks. Charlie placed a hand on her shoulders "Not quite..." He took a deep breath, obviously stalling to think how to phrase his words "The virus did something else..."

Ebony wasn't as tactful "They've risen from the dead, maybe they got a dose of the T-virus or something, or maybe there's no room in the afterlife. But they're up and they're walking again and they will kill you. It's the same body, but not the same person. They're driven on instinct. A need to feed and we're food."

Now it was Charlies turn to punch Ebony in the arm.

Akirian blinked. "They're not dead and now they're out to eat us??" Akirian asked. "COOL" she exclaimed it was like a book to her. "so they're the bad guys and your the good guys. I wanna help!" she yelled smiling.

(Wah must disappear again till after 10)

Charlie seemed slightly suprised whereas Lottie rolled her eyes. "Can you even shoot a gun?" She asked as she turned on her heel, heading back into the weapons store. "You carry your own pack, do not get into too much trouble and can keep up." She told her "Follow me."

Charlie sighed. Why did girls have to be so willing to fight all the time? It was a question he would never understand the answer to.

Jesslynne had waited patiently listening to what she could hear of the conversation from above. She had already known about the Zombies and new how they passed the disease through bites, she still preferred using her daggers though. And her swords which were also laying at her side. They were both excessively curved and only had an edge to one side, but weilding them both allowed her to keep the zombies from getting near enough to bite.

"Come on," Jess said instantly getting up and strapping on her swords. When strapped they crossed in the back the handles pointing down for easy access, only a clip held them in the sheaths.

"You're way behind the times you know," Terry said once again, he always found she looked weird with swords but then he supposed he shouldn't complain. He didn't really know how to fight at all and she had been protecting him for a while.

The only weapon on him was a well used gun that was once his father's, it was a family heirloom and was a wonder it still worked. Even now though he didn't want to get another, even when across from the weapon store.

"Where are we going anyways?" Terry asked getting up brushing of his black and green striped sweater and black pants. "You don't generally follow live people."

"Those two intrigue me, I want to say hello," Jess replied and jumped over the side of the roof and landed neatly on the balls of her feet and catching herself from falling forwards with her right hand.

Terry followed only slower jumping down and catching a window sill and letting go once more. "How do you do that?"

"Practice."

Ebony put away her main gun, depositing the bag on a table as she walked behind the counter, her fingers tracing over the weapons before her whilst Charlie stood beside the door, the one enterance into the building that could still be opened without making a very loud noise. He'd see anyone opening it before they saw him and he stood with the weapon absently pointing at the air where a head would appear but he didn't seem to be expecting anyone.

At length Ebony picked up a small gun which she placed in the palm of her hand. Then with a quick flick she sent it into the air, caught it and aimed it at Charlie pulling the trigger. "Well?" He asked absently.

She shrugged "Too light for me. Perfect for our friend here." She replied placing it on the table and vanishing into the back room. They had stayed there all night and had determined the building as secure along with learning the layout of it, so it wwas no suprise that Ebony had a backpack in her hands when she re-appeared. It had only been a matter of collecting the bag and brushing a shelf load into it. This she tossed over by the gun.

Terry walked ahead of Jess as the crossed the road not expecting what was waiting for him. He wasn't the one for caution where Jess stood a couple feet behind him ever wary, much like a cat searching for a mouse to feast on or a dog to run from or fight... Most likely fight, he thought as he glanced back at Jess as he opened the door. She's not one to run from battle and knows how to keep her head in whatever situation they entered.

Speaking of situations when he turned his head to actually notice his surroundings he found a gun pointed at his head. Terry sighed and put his hands in his pockets, neither begging for his life or telling the boy to kill him he stood at ease waiting for whatever situation they would run into.

Jesslynne followed her friend in spotting the gun before Terry even did as he walked in, The idiot she thought as she walked up behind him and curled her arm around his neck lightly letting the hilt of her dagger slide into her palm.

"Come now, we're not here to fight."

"If I thought you were, you're friend would be dea." He replied absently with a raised eyebrow. Still he raised the guns barrel to point at the sky and tet it slip through his fingers just enough for it to not be an immediate threat. By this time Ebony had withdrawn her weapon of choice and was leaning against the counter with her lands in her lap, gun barrel facing the floor, but still only a second away from raising it and pulling the trigger and there was something about these two that said they didn't miss.

"But knives don't need re-loding so I'm going to guess thats not why you're here." Ebony smiled dangerously. "In fact I'd warrant a guess that you were here either because of us, or our little stray." Charlie didn't leave his position, or make any sign that he was moving, only his second weapon found it's way into his free hand, pointing casually in the direction of the strangers even while his main weapon stayed deceptively neutral.

Terry waited without a sound or look of distress as he looked around the shop. It was quaint for a weapon shop but still he didn't move, something told him if he had he'd be put in more of a dangerous situation. That and Jess was leaning on him, she was light and he took her weight easily but he didn't want to leave her unbalanced. She was quick no matter what was driven her way unbalanced, daggers versus guns or not, but he still didn't want to risk it.

Jess hadn't missed anything that went on between the two, her attention wasn't on they're 'stray' at all not considering her as a threat but more as a would be diversion if need be. Her eyes had a cold gleam to them as she eyed the three guns that were drawn in the room.

"You seen the zombies as well, and you both intrigue me," Jess said deciding against trying to pick a fight, this wasn't the time and she had little room to maneuver. That and daggers and swords weren't that great a defense against bullets. Generally able to deflect a few with the daggers if she could tell where they were headed she generally preferred diving for cover and throwing her daggers with just as dead accuracy as the two marksmen.

Ebony tossed her head slightly, as though her hair was in her eyes, but it was a slow, laguid movement. Slowly her eyes moved from Charlie, across the room and at a glass cabinet. He smiled and gave a quick look down and at Terry. "Indeed." Ebony mused "Now what can we do for you?" Her fingers stroking the weapon in her hands, trigger finger still poised for action.

"We really do have to be somewhere." Charlie added absently, finishing his sisters train of thought. There was something in their voices that suggested that this was all a game to them, that theyd done things like this before.

(I'll have to go soon as my shift is nearly over. Then I'm off to bed.))

((Angel must go now. . She has enjoyed roleplaying with you and will be back in 12 hours as it is now Angels home time and then bedtime. She may check back when she gets in depending on how long it takes to get home though too.))

"Where can one really need to go that is of necessity?" Jess asked in a patient voice much as though she was an adult speaking to two misbehaving kids. "Generally at a time like this ones such as you should see a weapon store as a good haven for safety since you're such excellent marksmen... and woman."

"I dunno hun," Terry said finally playing the act of a boyfriend rather than just a friend leaning back against Jess finally. "Maybe they're ones who like to save people from zombie threats? Just because you don't go searching for people to help doesn't mean others don't."

Jesslynne shifted around Terry's slim form, a few inches shorter than her made the pair look almost as if they were made for one another. "They don't strike me as the type..."

(Hey i'm back sorry it took me soo long)

Akirian nodded and followed Ebony and Charlie back and stood in a corner as she watched them discuss things. She had no idea if she could shoot a gun but she was willing to learn. Carrying her own pack she had no problem with. it was like camping. She sat down on the ground and started to eat her stolen prize from earlier when the other two walked in. "where are we going?" Akirain asked when Charlie said they had to go somewhere. Now making her presence known to the others.

Ebony smiled "As wonderful as a weapons store like this is There is a basement door leading to the streets made only of wood with a flimsy chain that may deter some interest but if you're determined it's breakable. The front door is easily accessable and cannot be locked as the owner probably still has the key. The back door itself is much the same but has been barred temporarily with stock, easy to break into but it makes a noise just to be sure. The main windows may have bars on them, but not all of them do. In short, it has a good supply but it's a terrible place to stay." She smiled "Stock up and move out only." She finished.

Charlie made a small laugh and added "Our final destination is of no concern of yours really is it now? Unless by some chance you were hoping to be invited along?" He raised an eyebrow.

Ebony shook her head and removed one hand from her gun, reaching onto the table and picking up the one she had retrieved earlier. She tossed it to Akirian. "Careful, it's heavy." She warned as she placed her hand back on her own weapon. "You'll see where we're going soon enough." She added before returning her attention to the two in the doorwaay as Charlie continued.

"And you don't seem like the tag along sort." He spoke pointedly to the female of the two.
