Lithil giggled, clasping her hands together so she wouldn't wince as the comb tugged at her scalp.
"I wonder whether there's a tie between surviving the epidemic and having long hair?"
She joked, tugging at her newly washed hair and admiring how it shone in the light. She had forgotten her pride at its colour, but now it came rushing back, and she smiled distantly.
"Yeah... it's good to have a kind of moving force, 'therwise in these kind of places you could just get swallowed up by the silence..."
Lith winced as Missy detangled a pretty tough knot, but held true. It was like having an older sister, which was a nice experience but odd to think she had found one in this strange world. Inspecting her hair, she beamed.
"Yay! Thanks so much!"
She swished her hair over her clean shoulders like a young child, unable to keep the happiness from her features.

Virgil stirred again. With a grimace fighting back the pain of previous injuries, he noticed that a bandage of sorts moved on his head. Which meant Missy actually listened to him. He opened his eyes, and blinked back a couple tears of the pain that still plagued him.
Fighting to stay awake, he looked around. Thankfully, Missy didn't take the first aid kit away, and he knew the contents like the back of his hand. He fished in it for a second, and pulled out a bottle of Ibuprofen gel capsules. Extra Strength. Taking three of the pills, he replaced the bottle, and got up.
He stumbled, once, then twice as he approached the group. He noted the addition of another crew member, a tall tanned guy with dragon tattoos, that promptly changed into a kitten. A quick mind scan of the conversations named the guy "Orex", and was obivously a shapeshifter like Lithil.
Currently, Missy had just given a shower to Lithil, after everyone seemed to have shown off what they could do.Missy had just said something about having something that tied back to the old life. He immediately thought of his bass guitar.
The next thought was about how the front was wrecked, and that the strings were absolutely destroyed. Which kind of sucks.
What also sucks is the amount of daylight that was wasted.
Grumbling, Virgil sat down on a nearby bench that was nearly in pieces, and waited for the painkillers to kick in before talking to people.

Ian saw Virgil get up. "Welcome back to the land of the living. Sucks about the guitar." he said, nodding to the smashed up bass.
"The mall we're headed to probably has a music store." he added.
Then he turned to Orex, laughing at the comment.
"Mate, I've got a thing these days for any Sheila my age that doesn't put a gun to my face. Or worse." he said, remembering a day where he had broken into a corner store and had a knife pressed to his throat and one to a really bad spot.
"But yeah, I guess you might be a little right. Here's a question..." he changed the subject, tapping the light machine gun on the sidewalk next to him.
"That's some heavy military equipment. How'd you get one of these?" he asked.

"I infiltrated an armory and took my pick. All the on-duty military there had been turned, so it was easy pickings." He smiled and shifted back to his human form. "I was thinking about something. Do you think that I could make weapons with my new power?" He started to change his arms to resemble swords from his hands out. The bone was denser than normal, which made it a lot less likely to break upon impact with something. "The real question is would you use one if I made it?"

"No offence, mate..." Ian started, looking at Orex's hand.
"But that's just a little disgusting, so no, sorry, I don't think I'd use it." he said.
"Besides, I have this." he added, tapping the bayonet under his rifle.
"Spears the buggers easily." he explained. "And I have a multi-tool in my jacket that can be used in extreme ranges."
Ian laughed. "Of course, military training and the krav maga I took on the side helps, too."

"You are so welcome!" missy said giving Lithil a hug. She noticed that Virgil was up and sighed in reliefe. 'I swear, one of these days you are going to give me a heart attack.' Missy thought to Virgil knowing he would hear her. "Lets go show you off. Im sure Orex will appreciate my work." She said nudging her lightly.

"Suit yourself, although I'm sure you'd take one rather than be some braindead fleshbag all-you-can-eat buffet." He pulled the spurs back in and regrew his hands. He worked his fingers for a bit, then popped his knuckles. It's not like he couldn't make new ones and besides, he was just breaking these ones in.
"They have been gone quite a while now. I wonder what they're up to. I bet they're talking about us right now. How's this for a game plan? I'll go for the red-head. The blond seems more your type anyway. She's beautiful, punctual, practical, generous, and strong-willed, from what I've observed. That and you seem like a guy who likes to 'play with fire', so to speak."
He grinned at his little pun. He'd always had a thing for red-heads. He didn't know what it was, but they always looked more vibrant and lively, a little more mischievous.

[I lol'd.]
-----
Ian raised an eyebrow. "We shall see, mate, we shall see." he said.
"You clearly never heard of krav maga. It's the Israeli special forces martial art, very deadly. Very good against the undead here." he explained.
He then laughed at Orex's next comment.
"Mate, you sound like a college root rat at a rage." he said with a laugh.
"Besides, you seem to be 'round my age. The red-head, Lithil, she looks at least 15." he said, shaking his head with a grin.
"That'll go over well. Back before this, they had a word for people like you." he added, laughing.

[[Lith's 16, I think. It's legal. xD]]
"O-Orex? What's he got to do with it?"
Lithil demanded, blushing again. It really seemed like the chick could flush red at the drop of a pin... not surprising, really, considering the colour of her hair. It was surprising, however, that she managed to get so tan when usually a redhead has painfully pale features... Glancing over at the blue-haired boy with his bass, she figured this was probably a sign that they would be moving out soon, being that before he had the air of a leader. Well, before he got knocked out that was.
"I think we're headin' to the mall soon."
She commented to Missy. Taking special care not to step on the glass that lay in glimmering shards from broken windows, the body-shifter, she made her way out of the diner to stand in the murky light of day. Even in the strange, hollow light of the city her hair had a strange vibrancy.

Missy agreed. With Virgil awake it wouldnt be long before they left. "Hey guys, look at my art work." Missy called to the guys when her and Lithil were close to the guys. "I think i did pretty damn well. What do you think?" She asked them, awaiting a responce.
((Where im from its still illegal at 16. 18 is legal thought))

[[16's legal here. -shrugs-
-is sketching reference pic for Lith-]]
"Ah-!"
Lithil blinked, feeling a bit uncomfortable and from that a tad annoyed. It was a simple reaction for her, but it also made her feel guilty instantly about being angry. All these emotions running around causing havoc inside, she thought it prudent not to let them show on her face. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about being a show-horse. What a strange video game this would make... part Resident Evil, part Dating Sim/Makeover.
We're... wasting time...
