Climbing stairs ******** sucked, and Wataru didn't care who heard him say it. But hey - at least his legs had gotten a little stronger in the thirtyish days since this had all started. Briefly he wondered why human contact was so important that he'd come all the way up here just to deal with someone that he'd already disliked just because she and her sister were familiar.
Well. Whatever. (Renita was okay.) He knocked on the door to apartment 1480, brushing his hair messily over his ears. There was some supply-gathering to be done, and Wataru was gonna do his part. If either of these sisters was interested...well.

Renita paused a moment, going still and quiet to listen, before she caught herself. It wasn't as if the infected would have knocked so neatly, and even if they were capable of being that tricky, the odds of them getting past the apartment buildings' security and up to the fourteenth floor without anyone raising a commotion about it seemed- Well, not impossible, but not particularly likely either. Shrugging, she moved towards the door and, keeping the chain lock on, opened it just a bit to squint into the hallway.
"Ah, Wataru! Just a moment." She closed the door again quickly, just to finish unlocking it, and then pulled it wide for him, motioning that he could come in if he liked. By now it hardly needed saying that the man who'd brought her sister home was welcome anytime. "What brings you to the fourteenth floor today?"

Lennard had started out his day by getting in his running out of the way. This meant traversing the long series of stairs, usually running up and down them at least once or twice from top to bottom. It kept him active, and was more than enough of a work out to get his heart rate going. Especially if he planned to go outside the complex, he wanted a good warm up beforehand. His sneakers thudded heavily on the stairwell as he trotted up the way making it to the top of the landing as he leaned over his knees and gave a little huff. Standing upright he wiped his brow, pulling open the door leading into the 1400 block quickly.
Glancing down the hall way, he caught site of two familiar faces. Wataru often came to visit his neighbors Renita and Sawyer whom lived across the hall from his two bedroom apartment #1430. (Well usually for Renita as he'd noticed anyway).
Stretching lazily he flashed the pair a grin. "Yo! How are you two doin’ this afternoon?" He added with a wave of his hand as he leaned on the door he'd abruptly pushed closed. Even if he was casually interrupting them, he folded his arms over his chest curious to see what either might be up too.

Wataru had to say he wasn't used to being the person who took initiative, but then again...up until now, it hadn't really been a matter of life and death. And now, he wanted to prove that he deserved to stay here. Or something. "Wanted to see if either of you were up for some supplies gathering," Wataru replied easily, shooting her a begrudging smile. He wasn't sure if it was just the contrast to her mostly unpredictable younger sister talking, but he felt a lot more comfortable around her than...well, than Sawyer. Whose presence Wataru didn't really appreciate even when she was sober. "I've noticed we're not all as, ah, well-stocked as -"
A familiar, athletic-looking man jogged into the area. "Hey," said Wataru, with some surprise. He turned to include the guy in their conversation but kept his back straight as straight as it'd been. He didn't dislike the guy by any means - in fact, Wataru enjoyed the DnD sessions he'd been party to up here - but Wataru wasn't really a friendly guy outside of his blogging persona. An ex-girlfriend had told him that it ate all the friendliness out of him, but honestly? He hadn't done anything especially pretty for a month, other than carry his umbrella with him wherever he went. "Was gonna go see whether we could salvage anything." They deserved some supplies, right? And they might be able to net themselves some cocktail umbrellas.
"Either of you in?" he asked. He wasn't sure whether either of their roommates were around, but he guessed they could come, too. Actually, if Sawyer was there, the more the merrier. They had to have enough people to counter her existence somehow.

For a moment, Lennard went silent as he listened to the other males explanation of the daily going ons and what might be on the agenda. A thoughtful look crossed his face as he tilted his head as the other purposed the possibility of their making a supply run. It certainly couldn’t hurt, more supplies was never a bad thing. Tapping a finger to his chin, he leaned on his own umbrella he carried around even when running up and down the series of flights across the different floors. Wiping his brow off tiredly he exhaled as he stood a little taller, wearing a lazy easy going grin.
"Sounds like a plan, more like a quest." He replied, persisting with the idea they were indeed subjected to a real life game and were somehow the players in it. The idea kept him entertained as the days passed, and it was mostly harmless. Most of those who attended his DnD sessions when they were regularly hosted could likely attest to the fact he had a vivid imagination. Adding a friendly game-like spin onto things kept him from thinking to closely about the fact they were living through an Apocalypse.
"I'd be glad to go, hang on." He went to go stick his head into his and Oscar’s apartment. "Yo! We are going downstairs to the office for supply s**t, feel free to join us or go later if you want man. Either way I’ll be back later." He pulled the door closed before glancing back at Renita and Wataru. "I'm ready when you guys are." He added tapping his umbrella on the floor idly as if staying still made him restless.
quite uneventful.

Sawyer had been preoccupied constructing a slingshot, when she heard a loud voice come from within the apartment. If that did not sound like Lennard Manchester! Good ol' Lenny. Always nice for a shouting match. Had a pair of lungs like a trombonist, that boy did. Disposing of her ammunition over the rail (the ground was too far to see the splatter of the eggs unfortunately), Sawyer dusted her hands and went back inside. Voices came from the front hall. One was Lenny of course, another was her sister of course, but the third was a surprise: Wataru Sugimoto. He came by to visit often enough, but with how well they had struck out on their first meeting she was always surprised.
Sawyer changed quickly. She had no qualms about showing up in just a nightshirt and slippers, but their current situation dictated that she wear something a little more practical. For now that meant a pair of jeans, proper shoes, and a leather jacket. Last of all she ran a comb through her hair, untangling the last of her sleep snarls. With supplies for hygiene running low, a layer of greasing was beginning to build up but at least she could keep it out of her face. Creeping around the corner, Sawyer listened in on the trio's conversation. It did not take long to see what they were about.
"A quest?" Sawyer chimed. She had stepped out from her hiding place to join the group in the entryway. "Oh that sounds fun! Just like that Dungeons of Dragons, right? You know, I always thought you might like to try World of Darkness! It's more of heroes fighting monsters, but usually a campaign ends with heroes getting eaten or worse." She winked at Lenny.
"Anyway," Sawyer turned her attention back to Renita and Wataru. "Kids games aside, did I hear that you're making a supply run? You weren't thinking of going without me were you?" Biting her lip, Sawyer cast a nervous look at Wataru. "Even though it's been a month, I still get kinda scared staying in the apartment by myself. What if they somehow climb the building?" She looked down at her hands, fidgeting.

Renita was nodding in approval the moment she heard the words 'supplies gathering'. She'd had plans to do as much today anyway, and it was nice to know she hadn't been the only one willing to take action. Before she could begin to respond (or Wataru could actually finish), another voice cut in. She tensed as she turned to regard the man, eyes flicking past him, then relaxed slightly as she realized he was alone. This one she didn't have anything against, but that roommate of his tended to be another story. "Hello again, Lennard."
She turned her attention back to Wataru as he finished his request, and blinked at the idea of the job being a 'quest' like in their games. Well. As long as they took the actual scavenging seriously, she wouldn't begrudge them their fun. "I'd be more than happy to come along. We definitely could use the supplies. Let me see if Sawyer is-"
Sawyer stepped in as if she'd been waiting for her queue and Renita's smile warmed. "I can't believe you'd want to play through any stories like that in a time like this." She shook her head with a small laugh. "I was just about to come get you though, of course." She glanced at the nearest window as she reached out to give her sister a quick hug with one arm, but of course they couldn't really afford to barricade it even if it would have made her feel safer. They needed the light.
"We'll have a look around the side of the building while we're out and make sure there's nothing they can climb up easily."

Lennard's head turned when he heard Sawyers loud voice. A positively charming smile tugged at his lips as he smirked at the girl. He could spend hours yelling at her, they always seemed to be good at having silly stupid competitions with one another no matter how mundane. When she chimed in about a quest he grinned placing a hand on his hip. As she talked about World of Darkness he looked thoughtful. "That's the one that does the Storytelling System published by White Wolf right?" He vaguely recalled it, but didn't remember if he'd actually ever played or not.
"Hey we could all go together, safety in numbers right?" He quickly put game talk behind him as he shifted, lifting his umbrella behind his head as he rocked on his heels a bit casually. He flashed the trio a wide easy going grin. He didn't have too much more to say, both sisters were good company. Wataru could be a little on the grumpy side, but even he sometimes came out of his shell when it mattered most. He liked being around them, and feeling like he some how was contributing to protecting his acquaintance like friends.
"It won't be too bad, I'm sure theirs a few buildings we can explore before it gets too dark out." Lennard replied casually. "The apartment complex is ******** huge afterall." He mused aloud.
As Oscar mended a piece of his torn umbrella, he barely spared Len a glance when he headed out to check what it was, only to hear the familiar voices of Cosplay Queen and Stuck Up b***h slide into their room. With a quizzical raise of his brow when the other popped his head in to tell him what was up, the stormy eyed young adult stood up, tugging a shirt onto his large torso and beginning to walk outside. Stopping suddenly, he quickly walked back to get his umbrella. He couldn't forget that, ever...
Tightening his grip on the handle of the water stopper, Oscar released his own loud voice into the hallway, a wide, cocky grin on his face while his arms tugged a jean jacket he took from a walker onto his body. "Hey!" He exclaimed, "Were you guys going to head out without me?" While he normally didn't care for social contact, these guys were simply hilarious to be around. Cosplay Queen Wataru was a delight to annoy, and Stuck Up b***h Renita, while hot as ********, would set off on the smallest thing he'd do. He appreciated Younger b***h Sawyer sometimes, and Lenny was his Player 2-- Obviously he'd get along well with him! Approaching the group, he rubbed the handle of his umbrella-- "So, ignoring the topic of DnD-- Which, Wataru, y'gotta do again some day, my barbarian is pos-i-tive-ly itching for a fight, I hear we're going on a supply run, huh?" A crooked grin spread across mouth, his firm jaw quite prominent while his large hand traced the handle of his umbrella again. "I could use a bit of a run."
