Figures, she would be running low on cigarettes. She sighed softly before lifting the cigarette to light it, the small fire nearly burning her finger tips. Flicking it down with a scowl, she placed the cigarette in her mouth, letting the nicotine hit her tongue with a small smile.
She wondered if she smoked before all of this, wondered if her family disapproved, wondered if she even had a family to disapprove. She quickly shoved that train of thought into the back of her mind, filing it away for another time. Preferably never. Sometimes she thinks it's better she doesn't know anything about them, it makes it easier for her to accept what's going on. Corpses litter the streets, cars, buildings. She hasn't seen a single human being since...him. She shook her head with a tsk, definitely not entering that mindset. She couldn't fight anything with that on her mind. However, she noticed the fresh graffiti on various buildings.
Beware of the living, Fear humans, Stay out of territory. The usual s**t she saw as of late. Yet, not a single person crossed her path for the past week or so -well living that is-she wonders if she's lucky or not. She grips her pipe tighter at the idea. Better to be prepared than dead...right?
The small critter in her pocket shifts about lazily, she sticks her hand in there and softly scritches his back. Glad to have some sort of companion, even if it has fleas and eats some of the food she manages to find about. Which is getting harder and harder as she travels on. Sadly, she can never stay in places for too long, due to the whole undead crawling about and the humans who are all too worried about their precious territory. She can't blame them though, she'd probably shoot arrows at any stranger trying to get too close especially one in the state she was in. She sighed and checked her arm, the bandage was pretty filthy by this point and she wasn't too into the idea of an infection. She pulled the cigarette from her mouth and let the smoke pour from her lips. Yeah, she was going to need some cigarettes too soon. Ignoring the soreness in her legs she walked a little further, careful not to step on anything and keeping her eyes peeled for any kind of zombie when she heard a gunshot. She groaned as she looked about for a building with fire escape. Quickly, she zipped her pocket to keep Chester from falling out and stuck the crowbar in her belt loop as she heaved herself up one of ladders.
Aaand of course it would clank and fall quickly to the ground(
why didn't these people ever lock these things? why?) Muttering a few curses under her breath, she stilled at the sound of the tell tale gurgles and grunts. Snatching the pipe from her loops she patted Chesters pocket.
"Don't worry, bud." She whispered to him. She ran at the pair of flesh eaters that were shuffling quickly towards her. She swung the pipe directly into the taller ones head, letting him fall to the ground before slamming the other end of the bar into the eye of the other. Ripping it out she rubbed the pipe against her legs, grimacing at the smell but thankful for the fact it could mask her scent for enough time for her to look for an escape. Cursing whoever it was that set off a gun she went back to the fire escape, locking the ladder and getting ready to climb back up when she heard a voice. A human voice to be exact. No, no, no, she shouldn't. She should just get to safety, feed Chester some of the can of veggies she found and call it a nice day. She looked down towards the ground at the half smoked cigarette she lost in the fight and sighed. She was running low anyways, maybe they might have some? And if she was really lucky, maybe some bandage they could sacrifice, the last thing she needed was the hole in her arm getting gross. Sighing she jumped back down, her companion making a small squeak of discomfort.
"Yeah, I know." She mumbled to him as she began making her way towards the entrance of the alley.
Quietly and swiftly, she made her way, careful not to make too much noise as she gripped her crow bar. There were times where she wished for a crossbow, it was quick, silent and shot a mean arrow. She clenched her jaw, remembering the last time she saw one and remembering why she refused to carry one now.(
Why did it jam? Why then?) There was already gunshots so another one wouldn't cause any more damage, really. Blowing air upwards, letting her bangs lift and then fall again she grabbed at her gun and stepped halfway out.
She raised her eyebrows at the kid running like a tall jackalope towards her direction as a small horde followed after him. Must've been the one to fire that gun. Tsking, she shot at the one that seemed closest to him, luckily despite it's near miss it still crumbled to the ground. However, it definitely did not slow down his undead friends as they seemed to be moving quicker.
"God damnit, kid." She mumbled.
This was definitely not going to be easy.
