 Coraline thinks about what he said of being alone. It kind of relates to her story. Then Coraline looks down at his hands where he's holding out both weapons to trade. Coraline thinks of what weapon she should choose, then she points at the axe. "The axe please." Even though it was just a little weapon she can do many things with it. Coraline exchanged the gun for the axe. Coraline holds the axe in her hand's, getting the feel of it. Then Coraline looks out the window seeing the horizon. Then she starts thinking of her family and the fire, a tear ran down her cheek while she griped the axe tightly.

 Sydelle WestYou're not a hero, you're a liar...
Both responded to Grr. Of course they did, he demanded attention. Verra's was the most dramatic, which meant he either excited easily or he was genuinely scared of Grr. She didn't know him well enough to guess which. "That would be classified as calling in the cavalry." She replied evenly. She turned to Tora, who was asking for more information. "You've been far less than generous. And now you expect me to hand out more information?" She shook her head, making a tsk sound. "You've already insulted my helpfulness. You want to find a pile of scrap metal? Bring something else to the table or find someone else."
...you're not a savior, you're a vampire.

 She scoured the building while gesturing for Jasmine to press against the brick wall of a building, wanting to at least make sure nothing could sneak up on them.
"There! See it? The loading dock on the west side of the hospital—there are fewer zombies. Most of them seem to be gathering in the parking lot, like something's drawing them. Can you get us in there? Or, maybe, if we get close enough, whoever sent up the flare might let us in."
{{This is probably my last post for the night, and I'm on campus all day tomorrow. (I am honestly talking 10a.m. to 8:30p.m.) I will check this thread immediately upon getting home tomorrow, but I'll have to write an entire paper tomorrow night.}}

Courtney sighed as she didn't have the backbone to talk to anyone. She was awfully bored. She began walking back down to her tree house. She kept her guard making sure nothing snuck up on her. She walked through the path she made to her tree house, she felted watched. She began to run, she ran to her house and then climbed up and sat on her walkway. She looked around her gun ready for fire. She stayed there for a while then finally went inside.

"The axe please." He heard the girl say. Glad to be rid of it, as he was much better with a knife, he handed over the axe, and stuck the pistol in the waistband of his jeans. Glancing at the girl, he saw one single tear slide down her cheek as she gazed out the window.
Xavier stood up, and slowly approached the girl. He didn't want to appear dangerous. "Are you alright?" He asked. He knew the circumstances, and the effect it could have on people. And he could definitely relate; but he blocked his own experiences out as he focused on the girl. But at least now he had another living soul to communicate with.
"I never caught your name, by the way. I'm Xavier." He said simply. He wouldn't reveal too much information just yet. Even now, in these times, he wasn't that much of a people-person.

When Coraline was looking at the horizon and was shedding a tear she heard the man say "are you alright?" She wipes her tears as quick as she can and looks at him. "I'm fine..." Then she hears him ask what was her name. She stops for a moment, "Coraline. Coraline is my name.It's nice to meet you Xavier." She says as she puts her hand out to shake his hand.

Noah was running out of options. It was night, and he still hadn't found shelter. Note to self, never enter woods close to dark again he thought, trying to keep calm so he could sense if any undead were lurking in the foliage of the forest, moonlight casting eerie shadows that made Noah uneasy. He gripped his Tonfa tighter unknowingly, the handles molded to a perfect fit. Giving his shoulder a jerk, Noah adjusted his knapsack and carried on quick as he could manage. Although it was dark, he did not risk using the keychain flashlight he'd found earlier that day. If any zombies were around, he didn't want to attack them, the light a suicide beacon in the unknown layout.
There was a sing-song trilling up a head, soft enough that it did not disturb the nighttime sounds. Noah felt relieved but kept on guard. Noel, his small, yellow avian companion, had found a shelter. He'd trained her to scout ahead of him and use the designated signal if she found any structures that were friendly enough. Noah had been worried that it was too dark for Noel to see, but she'd come through. That did not mean he was safe, however. Things were never safe anymore, but he'd take his chances with walls around him for the night.
After stumbling only six times, he found Noel on top of a branch nearby a tree house, of all things. He’d never seen one before. "That's you find, huh, little birdy?" He praised her gently, talking up to the bird, extending his left hand to her after sheathing his left handed tonfa on the holder clipped to his belt. Noel immediately flew to him, remaining silent as expected. Now he turned to the base of the tree that held the impressive structure among its branches. Wonder if anyone’s using it, he thought, but didn’t make any move towards it. Yet.

 Jasmine Langdon Jasmine presses her back against the wall next to Natalie. She looks at the surrounding area. Broken glass, a few things scattered on the ground thats solid, but no fire, she frowns as she looks back at the zombies. Knowing the objective would be to kill those, quickly and quietly before any other's notice and try to attack too."I can if I have enough blunt objects to throw within 30 feet. Or they're within the 30 feet." She now kicks herself in the a** for not expanding her limitations while Joseph offered to do so. She wishes now that she did.

"Coraline. I like the name." Xavier says, giving a weak grin. It was hard to show emotion these days. Hell, it was hard before the outbreak, but now Xavier felt like he wasn't emotionally capable of opening up to anyone. But, with time, he hoped that would change.
Xavier stepped away, and resumed his spot by the window. The board was still covering it, and he began thinking of ways to drill a hole; that way, he wouldn't have to keep opening the board up, and risking exposure.
"Oh, by the way," Xavier said, turning back to Coraline. "There's a kitchen through there," He gestured to the hallway. "I'm sure you're hungry. Whoever lived here left the place full with canned goods. It's not much. Mostly vegetables, and maybe some bread in there. But at least it's food."
Turning back to the window, Xavier slowly pulled the board back. The coast was still clear. But, in the horizon something caught his attention. Luckily, he had a pair of binoculars in his bag, so he pulled them out and peered through them. Among a group of trees far in the distance, he saw what looked to be like a giant tree-house. "There's something there." He said, not only to Coraline, but more to himself out loud.
He squinted, trying to see better. Suddenly, he saw quick movement, of what appeared to be a girl, heading inside the tree-house. "There's someone over there! I don't think they're infected." He said, looking back at Coraline. "Should we try to contact them?"

Coraline smiled when he said he liked her name. She never really liked it herself. Coraline looks down at her stomach and felt it growl. Then thats when Xavier said there was food in the kitchen. Coraline walked into the kitchen and found some bread to munch on. While she was eating her bread she heard Xavier saying there was another un-infected person. Coraline was in shock. Another living person, she thought in excitement. Coraline goes up to Xavier, when he said "should we try to contact them?" She takes a look outside. "I believe we should, the more people the better."

Bartholomew exited the shower. The room was full of steam, and it was warm, just how he liked it. Quickly drying off, Bartholomew threw on a new set of clothes and went outside, where he heard voices, and saw several new people standing there. Walking up from behind with his hands shoved in his pockets, he spoke gently. "Hello new peoples. T'names Bartholomew. You are welcome to come and go if you are not infected, nor intend to steal or do any harm. Ground rules: 1. No zombies. 2. Keep your weapons out of sight. 3. No fighting. and 4. If you need something, ask myself. This is my safe house. Now, anything for me?" He asked, feeling a little out of the loop.

☆ ☆ ☆ Courtney Vantena
Courtney put the food she had got from town earlier today away. Her heart stopped for a moment as she looked towards the door where her dog growled at. She walked toward her window squinting down at a boy, he looked her age maybe a bit older. She looked closely at him, he didn't look infected. Carefully she inched towards the door, shushing her dog. She unlocked the door and walked to the edge of the railing. She stared down at him. Courtney examined him for a moment, he doesn't look dangerous... She didn't say anything yet. She smiled slightly and sent a small wave.
((I think I might call it a night son, maybe one more post. If not I wil post right after school tomorrow.))

"Great!" Xavier says, standing up. He see's the bread Coraline has, and is surprised by how hungry he is. He hadn't eaten in at least a day and a half. But now wasn't the time to worry about that. "Follow me to the roof." He says to Coraline, leading her through the hallway, and up the fire escape that led to the roof.
"Okay, bare with me. I'm not even sure if this will work." He says, opening the storage shed on the roof. Inside were some buckets and spare pieces of wood; Also to his surprise when he first saw it, was a couple of flares and small fireworks. "This is going to sound mental, but I need you to open these up." He said, tossing the fireworks to Coraline.
While she opened them, he pulled the gun out of his waistband, and took out one bullet. "This may cost us, but it may help us in the long run." He placed the bullet on the ground and stomped on it, releasing the gun powder. Scooping every last bit into his hands, he sprinkled the gun powder in the shape of letters spelling: ALIVE HERE.
Taking the fireworks back from coraline, he placed each of them near the center of the letters. "Stand back." He instructed, then lit the fuse on all the fireworks. With a whizz, they exploded into the sky, forming thick smoke that spelled out ALIVE HERE. "I can't believe that worked." He said, dumbfounded. "Let's hope whoever it is saw that." ((Sorry if that is a very unlikely thing to happen.. I wasn't sure how to send a message to her!! >.<))

Coraline stands back in shock. "Wow, it really did work!" Then Coraline looks at the woods hopeing whoever Xavier seen saw that. Then she looks at Xavier, "do you think they saw it?" As she looks back to the woods. (A better idea then I was thinking :/ I thought they would have found a flare gun, but most likely not.)
