Having someone come out of the blue yelling at him is probably not the best experience. In characteristic personable calmness, Virgil simply answers, telepathically of course Try asking first. Though he answered the Aussie out loud, "Doin' the Naughty? Not on the the first date, no," with a wink.
Now that he had everyone inside, he laid down his thoughts over the past little while, if he got a team. "I've been holed up in here for a while, thinking staying in one place would attract attention sooner or later." he started, while unloading his magnum revolver, "So, I've begun to start devising a way to get us out. I'm not sure how to get outside contact, but I think the best place to do so would be that one story mall, down on Bank Street. With all the room and materials in the mall, we could begin scrounging for other things. Water, Food, Supplies, Things like that. We could attract other people to that mall, and we could use it as a base of operations. I'd have done it myself if I could have done the work on my own...but it'd be easier with other people...you guys in?"

Missy glared at the man. He could read her thoughts and she didnt like that. You dont know my father and you sure as hell dont know what i went through as a child. i was only 10 when he did it. Missy directed her attention to Virgil. "You would be lucky to get a firts date with me boy and yes im in." Missy said as she relaxed a little.

Ian leaned back on the stool, resting his arms on the counter.
"A mall, eh?" he said quietly.
He thought for a while, head down. He put his hand up under his chin, and he started at the ground between his knees.
"It may be a little dangerous...and hard to defend...and clear out in the first place." he said after a minute.
He then looked up at Virgil.
"Fair 'nough, I'll go." he said. "It's London to a brick that we will meet a lot of those buggers out there..." Ian waved his hand in the general area of outside. "On our way." he finished.

"Ah but Ian, not if you know a shortcut" he says smileing. "Its quite easy to get there without being noticed if you have a couple of people who can read minds"

"I'm not afarid of you. Im afarid of groups of men not a single man." Missy said not caring if anyone else heard. "Why must you wake him. He must need sleep or else he would be awake right now." Missy stated while standing up to lean against the wall. She looked at Virgil "Hey do you mind if i smoke in here?" She asked.

"Bad habit." Ian said casually, nodding to Missy. "But go ahead, I have no qualms. Whatever floats your boat." he said.
He then looked down at the man. "Good idea to keep him asleep. I don't trust that scythe."
Finally, he turned to the man who addressed him personally.
"Fair dinkum, but the mall itself is going to be a filled with them from early in the outbreak. Imagine, if you will, once this started. Where's the first place people go? The malls. Everything they could ever need. One of those buggers get in, and its pandemonium."
He shook his head. "I'm in but it's going to be a fair blue once we get there."

The street was alarmingly silent for a city under zombie invasion.
Then again, the really dead dead don't often make noises, except when you step on them. Then it's a kinda squishy noise, depending on the state of decay they're in...
Still, after a moment, a noise could be picked out that might have something to do with the rise of inanimate dead on this street... A soft clinking, maybe a hummed note, then a small form stood up from where it was huddled over the cobblestones, unfolding Amazon-esque limbs clad in ragged, loose shorts. An arm arced up, placing an alarmingly blood-soaked pipe across slim shoulders bared by a torn tank-top. The figure shrugged a large amount of hair off these shoulders, turning to gaze down the street with the eyes of a hunter, blood staining adolescent cheeks lightly scarred. Spinning the thick pipe around, she slotted it away in a holster strapped to her waist and back, taking advantage of the momentary lapse in violence to bolt for cover, bounding up the side of a building with unnatural speed, vanishing over the lip in a matter of seconds.

Missy lit her cigar without a lighter. "There is always a way to wake people, you just have to know how." Missy said then added, "There is a way into the mall that we wont be seen. Its part of the basement. I could get a blueprint if you want me to."
((I have to get off for a few but i will get on again))

The idea was greeted with positive responses. So far, so good. "Let him sleep. We're all gonna need it. We're not moving today, and the mall could take a while to clear. As for drinks and food, it's in the pantry in the back."
Missy began to smoke. Not that he cared, but she lit it without even touching it. Definitely Black. he thought, referencing his journal. He thought for a quick second of showing the journal, but banished the idea before the other mind-reader could get a read. It would only serve to worry them further.
Virgil looked outside, and glanced at his watch. Sundown was going to be in about thirty minutes if he read things right. So he took the leader role again, addressing quick, simple directions. "Sleep would probably be a good idea. If you guys, and gal, could give me a hand in making sure everything's bolted down for the night, I think we'll be good for the night."
