Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I know my character can't read minds, but you made a good point. So I'll just have Xavier bring up that idea razz ))

Xavier thinks for a moment. "Hey, I never realized. We can paint on the windows. Like, one word for each window. I haven't checked the other apartments though. We need to be very, very careful!" he warned Coraline. "There were giant brushes in the maintenance closet, so just grab one. I'll paint the word 'alive' on the first 5 windows, and you paint 'here' on the last 4 windows, ok? Just watch yourself when you're entering the other apartments." He explained.

Xavier then exited the room, and went on his way to begin painting giant letters on the apartment windows, all of which seemed, for the moment, abandoned...

Verra shook his head, sneering at Blondie (as he'd now officially dubbed her in his head. The whole group was terribly creative at coming up with names.) "Well-ssspoken and sssmart are two entirely different thingsss, mademoissselle. I wouldn't be ssso quick to judge me, essspecially sssince you know nothing about my ssspecies."

His head snaked around to fix Tora with a glassy stare that could have been attempting to show just about any emotion. "Tora, sssweetheart, hunger cures grouchinessss. What sssay we force-feed our new friend here?" He nodded towards Blondie, smirking as he was wont to do.

"Joking -- or casual business plans, as it were -- aside, I'm ******** ssstarving. And I really don't think I need to get much ssskinnier, do you?" Though his tone was light, teasing, as always, Verra watched carefully for any sort of reaction from Blondie, to see if she had looked over at his words at all. It was generally accepted that advertising your weakness was a grade-A really goddamn horrible idea, especially if the situation was one that called for survival of the fittest.

However, Verra wasn't unfit. In fact, when running away wasn't an option, he could be just as deadly as most, and more so than many. He'd proved that with the many humans he'd sliced open in his time before the outbreak.

He just didn't need his new human pals knowing that.

Look at me, love me, don't feel the least bit threatened by me, welcome me into your care and never suspect a thing, my dears...

Ventes Allaratus

xxxxxVentes smiled when she said it was his chance. He was about to take off running, but he got a really good idea, or at least, it seemed so at the time. He sheathed his sword and closed his eyes. He focused on compressing a large amount of air behind him, and as he did, a weak gust of wind was heading to him from all directions. Ventes opened his eyes and jumped into the air. Once he at just the right spot, he released the compressed air, and shot off like he was shot from a cannon. As he was flying towards the spider he curled up his fingers and thrust his palm down towards it, sending large waves of pressurized air to smash it. Ventes slapped his hand together and held them close to his chest and pretty much stopped moving, using extremely fast moving wind as a hard surface. He made finger guns and started "firing". None of his attacks were too effective due to its large body and thick hide. Frustrated, Ventes stood up and jumped off his airy plat form and almost made it to the roof, but was barely short. As he fell he was only a couple inches away from the wall. He put his hand near the wall, and it was sucked on. He then placed his feet on the wall and slowly come to a stop. ventes put his left hand on the wall and drew his sword with his right hand. He winced a little, because now his hand hurt from sliding on the building, but it was nothing that a little bandage couldn't fix.

You're not a hero, you're a liar...

"Yes, I'm sure your species is the grandest is the universe." Sydelle said sarcastically as they moved toward their dinner. "However, since I am not one of your kind, I can't say I care all that much about it." Grr followed behind. He only understood that the smaller beings in front of him were having some form of angry discussion. But, being of little intelligence, he kept to himself.

...you're not a savior, you're a vampire.

Jasmine looks over to Natalie, nodding. Tho some of the zombies began getting too close for comfort, but to where she's scared enough, the worry about getting eaten by one. She wonders why they're gathered in the parking lot, too.
All of a sudden, a zombie within her 30 foot radius spew green blood, shooting from the corpse, it's limbs ripped part from it's torso, and thrown around. She frowns as that happens. Oh no.. That could attract more, couldn't it? She looks at the rest. their attention seeming to turn towards them.
"Natalie,"She replies, "If you shoot, I can make a few cars around us crush the others and we can run, making it easier for us to run, and run fast."
She quickly checks herself, for no straying clothing. Nope, the only thing would be her hair. She gathers it up, putting it into a pony tail, making easier to handle. Waiting for the signal.
She feels Natalie is nervous about the gun, sighing, humans can be such a pain without the certaintiy. So she calls back over her shoulder, "You can do it, Natalie.. Just hurry with it, too!"


[[Alice; sorry I didn't respond last night. Storm was making my internet whack.]]

Saiyaku had been rescued just at the last moment; but in being snatched up, her mother's brittle wrist had snapped off and was then held by Saiyaku. "Moooooooom!!!" All Saiyaku could do was cry about her mom being left there to be raped and killed by the gangsters, but she soon realised that they weren't after her mom. She continued crying until she saw the giant spider creature chasing them, and then clung to Desirae until she was set down.

"I can't believe that we left my mom behind... How can you be so mean to my mom, who's never been mean to anybody?" She was still physically holding on to her mother's hand in her free hand, but in her mind, it was free. She had no clue she was holding on to it. Her complaints were quickly cut off when the girls went into action against the creature that had been chasing them. All she could do was watch, not knowing what to do at all.

As soon as she hears the shot ring out, sticking one Zombie in the head. as if cue, 2 cars rise off the ground. She flings her hand out and the cars knock the remaining Zombies down.
"Come on, let's move!" She calls to Natalie as she runs over to the main building. She can't believe it worked! Her heart is pumping with adrenaline as she see's the Nurse and Doctor, "Hey!" She calls, grinning, there was survivors in the building! But, would they lend them some supplies? Or would they turn them away? The zombies in the parking lot seem restless. Whatever that was there, is gone now as they scout for another food source.
