Welcome to Gaia! ::

An average Erium cave city. It's not one of the largest, but it also isn't small. This city is mainly controlled by the infected, however the military has a safe zone set up in the city center.

Mouse sighed lightly as he leaned back in the recliner he had found in the building he was in. He was sitting in front of a window, his M4's bipod out and placed on the window sill. He had been told to watch the road for any survivors, so he had barricaded himself into a building that faced right down the street. He glanced through his scope again, expecting to see nothing, however what he saw surprised him. A man decapitated a few zombies, before dashing into cover. Mouse could still see the man though, and watched as he put a cigarette in his mouth. Mouse guessed that the man didn't have a lighter though," I suppose I can do you a favor," Mouse muttered with a chuckle while taking aim. He lightly pulled the trigger, and the bullet barely touched the edge of the cigarette, however the contact was enough to light the cigarette. Mouse grinned widely."If he's trained, he won't freak out. If he isn't, well, I probably just gave him a heart attack,"Mouse thought to himself while laughing quietly.

Mouse sighed, and closed his bipod before standing up. He slung his M4 over his right shoulder before turning around and walking over to the stairs. He went down them quickly, then ran over to the door."Well crap, and just when I thought I was going to get an easy day. Now I have to deal with a survivor," Mouse muttered to himself as he undid all of the lock and pulled back the metal bar which he had used to barricade the door. He pushed the door opened quietly, and saw that the man was coming straight towards him. Mouse got down on his right knee, and aimed the M4 right at the man's eyes." Can't take any chances," he muttered quietly to himself as he placed his finger on the trigger."Stop where you are! Tell me your name and purpose here!"Mouse said, making sure to speak load enough so that the man could here him.

Mouse kept his M4 aimed straight at the man."Trying to find your sister huh? I've heard that before. Everyone's got a sister, or a mother, or some relative that's lost. You take pity on them, and try to help them find the lost relative. Then two days later someone finds your dead body with everything you had on you missing," Mouse said as he looked through his scope."I've heard the whole I mean you no harm thing. Yeah it's usually a lie. I've gotten into a lotta fist fights."

Mouse let out a long sigh, and stood up. He slung his M4 over his right shoulder, and leaned against the doorway. He said nothing for a moment."Well, as much as I would like to do that, I actually have to stick with you. It's my job. I either have to escort you to the safe zone, or out of the city. Though it appears I will have to help you find your sister first," Mouse said, reaching his hand up behind his head and rubbing it. Mouse continued to rub the back of his head for a few moments."Anyways, sorry bout being all paranoid. It's hard to trust anyone now. So, lost your sister huh? Seems like the apocalypse separated everyone from those they knew."

Mouse realized that the man wouldn't give him any information on his sister. He decided that it was fine for now, but the man would tell him something later. Mouse shook the man's hand."Just call me Mouse. I don't relinquish my true name to just everyone," he said as he lowered his hand. Mouse adjusted the sling that let his rifle hand on his shoulder." So then, where do we start looking?"

[Sorry, have to go shopping. I'll be back later]

Mouse lifted his his hand, and pointed at the mouse ears that were on his head." This is why I'm called Mouse," he said, before listening to Kuro explain his sister's location. He bit his lip a little, thinking."Hm, well is she was smart she would have separated from the crowd soon after," Mouse muttered as he looked down, thinking."Did you loose her in this city, or was it another?"

Mouse shook his head and glanced around. The area was completely empty except for him and Kuro."Nope. Being poor and an orphan doesn't really leave much time for fun," Mouse said as he crossed his arms and looked back at Kuro."And ah, I see. Though it has been quite awhile since the infection actually broke out. She could be on a different continent at this point, or possibly dead."
