The night skyline was pristine edges between the tree limbs. Noah
appreciated the sight. He had climbed the ladder to the roof of Courtney’s
tree house after Sebastian. He was greeted by Noel and sat down with his
legs spread apart but bent at the knees. One arm was propped against his
knees, the other resting on his tonfa handle in a habitual way. Noah started
to explain his ‘story’ as Sebastian put it. “I lived in a range of apartments, with
my parents despite my age. I didn’t have a job, so I had a lot of free time.
They took care of the expenses.” Noah was quiet for a moment, as if he
wasn’t sure how to put things. He wasn’t sure if he should mention what his
mother did, and the effect it had on him. “There was no real rush to figure out
what to do with my life, and I didn’t exactly do much other than the
mandatory social functions my parents set for me…” Noel was nuzzling his
neck and it was distracting. He lifted the hand resting on the tonfa and gently
nudged her father from his skin. “It wasn’t the most interesting existence.”
This wasn’t too much of an understatement, he supposed –if receiving
private weapons instruction from his bad-a** mother was the bottom of the
interesting barrel. The continuous stream of high-end clubs paid for by a
father (who earned a 7-diget salary) made life highly predictable and
diffidently dull at times. He’d met more down to earth people after the
infection, from which he learned not to mention the rich part. “When the
infection spread, I had to leave. Too many people were rioting and breaking
and entering. There was no one to stop them. I’ve been roaming around
since.” Noah looked to Sebastian and shrugged. “Noel –see, I was getting to
it- came to me around that time. She’s really helpful.” The side comment was
in response to a joyful tweet of Noel.

 Sebastian Noah followed directly behind Sebastian, and took a seat on the slightly cold roof of the treehouse. Sebastian leaned back, and gazed at the stars, listening intently as Noah explained who he was before the infection, and now. Sebastian was always interested to hear other people's stories. Mostly because he wanted to gain as many allies as possible.
"Well, Noel does seem like a very faithful companion." Sebastian said, with a smile. The little bird looked quite cozy on Noah's shoulder. "I'm trying to get home, actually." Sebastian spoke softly. "I haven't talked to my mum and dad since.. this happened. Not even sure if they're okay, actually." He said.
Sebastian figured he should explain a bit better, so as not to leave Noah behind. "I'm - well.. - was visiting friends. And then all this hell started to break loose. Eventually, I had no way to get back home. The airports all closed down, and the Floo- erm, I mean ships, are all shut down. But I guess that's to be expected, what with everyone being dead and all." This last sentence pained Sebastian. He was deeply worried about his parents, and doubted that their survival was even a tiny hint of possible. But he kept his hopes up.
"So what about Courtney, did you just meet her as well?" Sebastian asked. deciding to steer the conversation away from his life.

 "It's good to see you in one piece!" Natalie exclaimed when Jasmine caught up with them. She managed to miss Emmerah's suspicious behavior.
Without any more delay, she ran up the last flight of stairs and burst onto the roof, crowbar ready to swing. Thankfully, it was all clear. There were no zombies. There was, however, a rickety lawn chair and an old record player. Left over by the crazy nurse, no doubt.
Shaking her head at these objects, and not even trying to explain to herself what they were doing there (who lounged around on a roof during the zombie apocalypse?!), Natalie walked to the edge of the hospital. Looking down, she saw the crowd of zombies. Most had to be inside the hospital now, since there were only a few roaming the parking lot.
"Shut the door," she requested of the other two women. "It looks thick enough to keep the zombies out... I think, anyway. Unless they figure out how to open it." Considering the way to open it was a bar at mid-height that only had to be pushed with a little force, Natalie didn't think it would take them long to accidentally get through.
The noise of the helicopter blades cutting through the air became steadily louder until, finally, the two helicopters were overhead. One was large and looked like it was built for transport. The other one was sleeker, smaller, and there were some hefty looking weapons bolted to the bottom of it. Natalie didn't even want to think what kind monsters the military was facing if they felt the need to send one helicopter solely for fighting.
Natalie jumped up and down and waved her arms over her head, trying to get the pilot's attention. Hopefully, the ride to the base would be uneventful.

"Yes, not long before you showed up. Not a lot of options out here. These
woods are spooky, are they not?" Noah sat back and thought more about
what Sebastian had said about himself. "I hope you find your way back
home," he decided to say, more quietly. "It's hard to be away from
family. How do you think she's been getting along, though? Against the
undead, despite… being on her own, and staying in one place?" This
greatly interested Noah, right from the start, about anyone. He didn’t mean it
as sexist about Cournty, since this is who the "she" he was refering to was.
Survival tips were good use of conversation, and you learned about a person
from it. He was already impressed by her fortified shelter, high up in a tree.
He was hoping to learn something of how Sebastion was managing as well,
because how he’s survived was an elusive secret as far as Noah could
figure. “She’s mentioned a brother and father, if I remember correctly. Not
sure if… well, she seems strong on her own.” He had no idea what had
happened; but something told him all three of them were missing their
families in some way.
The moon started to drift towards the horizon. He hadn't realized how much
time was passing, and Noah was starting to feel a bit tired. He yawned, and
Noel was dozing on his shoulder.

 Coraline nodded,"alright lets go."Coraline picked up her shotgun from the floor. "Icarius is going to show you the way to the roof, once you get up there check and see if its clear. Then give a signal, we'll run as fast we can away from the store, but we'll only be a few feet away then you fly down to us and we head towards the military base, got it?" She saw Miza nod but slightly look at Icarius and sighed, Coraline looked at Icarius"where do we wait for now while you take Miza to the roof?" ((sorry it took so long :/ i was waiting for wiccan but it was to long so i just posted))

 From what he got out of the conversation, Icarius was going to be
taking Miza to the roof, so she could keep watch of the infecteds'
movements. Then, the rest of them would escape out the back door.
"Sounds like a good plan." Xavier said.
He went towards the front of the supermarket, checking the doors.
They were still secured firmly with the shelves, and most of the
infected seemed to still be out there.
Xavier returned to the group. "Ready when you all are."

(( hey guys, I'm going to my cabin this weekend, like starting now, lol. Since
Miza and Icarius [And Prommy and Morgan] are going to be offline for a
while, you can make Coraline and Xavier escape with help from Icarius and
Miza, and have Icarius lead you towards the military base.
Same goes for Prom, Atticus and Morgan, keep them heading towards the
military base and hopefully I will be home sunday, or monday the latest.
Keep quoting me, because I want to know what is going on! ))

"This is Mother Bird. We have chicks that are being picked up right now." reported the pilot of the fighter chopper. ((Feel free to use these as you see fit, they are now in your control until you reach the base. )) Sprinting as fast as possible and hurdling cars and piles of bodies, Desirae rushed faster and faster toward the camp to get Kary away from that place nd get her some help. "You still back there, Ventes?" she called making sure she didn't lose her friend.

Xavier approached Coraline. "Ready? Icarius is going to lead us out the back door, and Miza is on the roof now, keeping watch. She'll send us a signal if it's not safe." Xavier said, heading towards the back of the supermarket.
They reached the office, and Xavier saw the exit door clearly. Icairus slowly opened the door. The alleyway appeared to be empty. Xavier held a finger to his lips, then slowly followed Icarius into the alleyway, taking a right. They edged along the wall, making sure to stick to the shadows.
"There's a separate alley straight ahead. We'll have to cross the street, however. We'll go one at a time. Just stay low, and quiet. And be fast." Icarius said, peeking out from the alleyway. He then darted across the road. If Xavier hadn't already known Icarius was human, he wouldn't have believed it. He moved with such agility and grace, even.
"You go first. It'll be safer if you've got me and Icarius both covering you." Xavier said to Coraline, with a smile.
((Okay, I'll steer us along :p))

Coraline followed Xavier and Icarius to the office to the back of the store. Coraline saw Icarius slowly open the door to the back of the store, they all walked out slowly and was in a dark empty alleyway. Coraline gripped her gun, and stuck to the shadows with the rest of the group. Then she heard Icarius instructions then saw him sprint across the road. She then saw Xavier stand next to her, telling her to go next so him and Icarius can cover her. Coraline nodded at Xavier and looked both ways down the road. She took a deep breath and held her gun close. She then sprinted as fast as she could, she felt if she went any faster she wouldn't even be on the ground. Coraline got to the other side with Icarius, she looked down the road again and whispered to Xavier"okay, your turn."

 Ventes Allaratusxxxxx"Yeah. I'm right behind ya'." Ventes said to Desirae as he followed quickly in pursuit; jumping over cars and corpses and such. He just hoped Kary was alright.

Xavier watched as Coraline made her way across the street.
He then followed behind her, darting quickly, and staying low.
The coast seemed clear for now.
Xavier looked up towards the roof of the supermarket.
Miza was hovering high above.
He waved to catch her attention, and she gave him a thumbs up.
"Looks like it's clear." He said to Icarius and Coraline.
Xavier then led the way down the dark alley,
with Miza floating directly above them.
The plan was to get to the military base that Prometheus had mentioned.
Xavier felt very relieved.
A military base seemed like the perfect place.
Safe; secure. He sure hoped so. ((Sorry it took a while to post. Was out all day for Easter.))

Sebastian As Noah began to speak, Sebastian began to nod to himself, and smile. He already knew exactly where Noah was steering the conversation and Sebastian couldn't agree more. "I'm astounded, actually." Sebastian said quietly, in case Courtney was sleeping below. "In fact, I was frightened at first. Walking through the dark woods alone, and I see this massive fortress-looking structure. But then I realized it was a treehouse. Still, I was precautious." Sebastian said, and grinned.
"When I saw you two, I thought you both lived here, and was amazed that you had built this thing, and were still able to survive, with no problems it looked like. And now to find out it's only one girl. She's very independent. I admire that in people." Sebastian said.
He leaned back, and stretched, and doing so he noticed Noah yawn a bit. "If you're tired, you can go ahead and nap. I can stay up and keep watch. I'm physically tired, but I don't feel like I'd be able to sleep at all." Sebastian said, adjusting his weight as he was getting a little uncomfortable. He stretched out his legs, and leaned on one elbow, gazing at the stars.

Icarius was quite pleased that his plan was working, but he lead the group
through a few narrow alleyways to avoid main roads as much as possible.
Zombies generally didn't take to the side roads unless they wandered there
by mistake anyways.
"We're only a few blocks away now... though we'll be more exposed," he
said through his helmet as he pointed to the slight thinning out of buildings
that lay in their path. Setting his hands on his hips, he stared for a moment
at the layout before them and continued, "Our best bet is to run like mad
until we get there. The few blocks will be faster to cover and it's likely that we
will bypass any zombies that block our path if we're all at a free-run... or fly,"
he added, nodding towards Miza.
The annoying puffball had proven useful, so he deemed her worthy of keeping
around; at least as a scout for the rest of the group. There seemed to be no
airbourne zombies, and until there were, she seemed to be the safest among them.
Icarius looked around to Xavier and Coraline, asking them with his glance if
they thought they could keep up and could actually free-run for a few blocks.
They both looked in shape, but Coraline seemed to tire rather easily.
