Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, s**t." John spoke his last words as the projectile flew at him at an alarming speed. He tried to use his Malice virus-induced enhancements to dodge out of the way, but only succeeded in moving directly into the line of fire. The small rocket smashed through his teeth and buried itself in the back of his throat, carrying him backwards into a group of freshly summoned ghouls. The explosion, though small, was very effective. The good doctor was no more. As his brain was vaporized, his hold on the group of humans was broken, and they all snapped to attention, feeling as though they had been dreaming for weeks. Tyler wheeled around and saw that the projectile had come from the direction of the train. There stood Ellie, holding the weapon that fired it. Tyler sprinted to her, and wrapped her in an awkward embrace, with a machine gun and an RPG between them. He planted a passionate and joyful kiss the moment they touched. A lone ghoul had wandered over to them. Tyler quickly dispatched it after breaking from the kiss with his spike hammer.
"Watch what you're doing! This here's my wife and child!" he shouted at the crushed form. He saw Ellie's quizzical look at the word "wife." He quickly dug into his pockets, and fished out a diamond ring.
"I grabbed a lot of these in the pawn shop. I thought we might use them to barter for supplies if we met other survivors." He slipped it onto her finger. "Well, whaddya think?"

((He's not kneeling, he's standing! They're in the middle of a zombie fight, after all. He just pulled a ring out of his pocket and held it up.))

Ellie was indeed confused at Tyler's shouted statement. They weren't married... At least, not yet. That was when he slipped a simple, but beautiful ring onto her finger. To say she was surprised would be an understatement. She was shocked. Not by Tyler's proposal, but by the fact that something so beautiful was in a simple pawn shop. Throwing her arms around his neck, she kissed him deeply and lovingly, showing her appreciation through actions since words failed her.

((lol))

Ellie smiled up at him when he asked this. "It was stashed in the train. But it only had one shot. I'm glad I used it when I did." Throwing it onto the ground, having no further use for it, she took out her naginata. "Got it. Kill the brain, stop the zombie. Don't necessarily have to smash the brain completely. Decapitation works too." After giving Tyler one last kiss, she charged into battle, a whirl of silver (from both her hair and naginata blade) and fire reds (from the handle).

((Okey-doke. I'll probably still be here. lol i've already had dinner, and I don't sleep.)) "Watch yourself, darlin'." Tyler cleared an area of undead, and led a sobbing mother and her children to the train, and ensured that they were closed up safely. He saw Ryan come close with a gigantic wrench. Tyler guessed it must have been intended for aircraft usage. He spotted Gravemind nearby. He handed the SAW to a weaponless man evading a small shuffling mob, and walked out to meet the one with the oversize head.
"We gotta score to settle, big guy."

((Oh, you killed him? Darn, I had an idea for him. oh, well. lol))
Ignoring the threat, Tyler hurled his hammer at Gravemind, striking the large target his head presented. While the monster reeled, Tyler dashed up the metal ladder and stood toe to toe with Gravemind. "Troy. Go on and help the others. I've got this guy." When Troy was gone, Tyler began by rotating his shoulder as he swung, adding power to his strike as he aimed for Gravemind's ribcage.

((ummm...he is now. lol))
