 Coraline took a few deep breaths then nodded at Icarius. She never really liked running but if it came to getting away from zombies trying to bite her then she will run like hell. Coraline looked ahead to see a few buildings and the military base at a distance."okay, so we stick to the shadows until we get to the military base, then thats when we run?"Coraline asks making sure of what to do. ((sorry its a little short, really didn't know what to put. And sorry for not replying to wiccan, I didn't know what to put and i was busy :/ ))

 "Alright, let's do this!" Natalie yelled encouragingly, waving her arm over her head toward the circling helicopters. As she did so, the larger one, the one for transport, dropped to the helipad on the roof.
As it landed, Natalie ducked and started to run forward. There wasn't time to shut everything down just to load the survivors, then turn it all back on for a timely escape. They had to get on while things were still moving.
"Watch your heads!"
As she approached and one of the soldiers held out his hand to grab onto hers, there was a massive clatter behind them. The roof door suddenly burst open with an oncoming horde. When Natalie had pictured the roof, she had thought the heavy door would shut and lock behind them-- which it did. Unfortunately, it locked on the wrong side. The side with all the zombies had remained unlocked, of course, and all they had to do was put some pressure on it and it popped right open. Unfortunately, the dumb creatures didn't have to know how to open a door when it was one of those bars.
"HURRY!" she screamed, frightened by the sight of the zombies. Most were shambling at a snail's pace, but there were a few fast ones dotting the crowd.

At the urging of Natalie, Emmerah walked quickly - again, with that strange sense of not walking - towards the helicopter. Reaching up as she drew nearer to it and grasping firmly onto a soldiers outstretched hand. Getting a shock of half panicked emotion from the contact, she smiled at him, impressed by his composure and control. She decided to examine him further and, once settled in the helicopter, she reached towards him with her mental threads. She dug deep into his mind, finding and gathering all of his negative emotion - leaving only the most terrible emotional scars, which she would only take with permission - and then drawing it into herself, converting it into energy as she did so.

Prometheus sighed with great relief as they finally arrived at the military base.
He scanned the area with his wrist and found that from what he could gather,
this was likely the best place to gather spare parts for his and Icarius' broken
spaceship. He was greatly relieved that they had made it without running into
any of these supposed 'undead' zombies.
"We're here... we made it!" he said, and turned around to the two men
behind him. He was overcome with worry quickly after, though, and checked
in with Icarius, who assured him that he was fine. After another sigh of relief,
he led the others into the base, hoping to find hospitable inhabitants.
Prometheus was of course still in his black Navigator space suit, and his
black helmet was secured tightly on his head, but the kid-like knap-sack
Icarius had found was still on his back, holding water and a few food supplies,
as well as a few other trinkets of value.
"Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!
Look down upon my shame,
The cruel wrong that racks my frame,
The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength,
Till time's ten thousand years have measured out their length!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - Prometheus Bound ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Hello Darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains,
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone,
Narrow streets of cobblestone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
That split the night,
And touched the sound of silence.
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Morgan was tired of walking in silence, and before they had reached their
destination, decided to quote some of his favourite lines of poetry, which of
course was a very depressing piece, and happened to be by Thomas Moore:
Oh! ever thus, from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree or flower,
But 'twas the first to fade away.
I never nursed a dear gazelle,
To glad me with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well,
And love me, it was sure to die!
Morgan felt much more comfortable after reciting the lines, though he didn't
really care what the others thought about it. Prometheus seemed to be
completely ignoring him, and Atticus was a shy man, at least that was
Morgan's impression of him.
Running his hair through his red curls, he noted that Prometheus had
announced that they had arrived. "Finally!" he exclaimed and followed the
space man towards the military outpost.

(( I have waited almost a month for you. Hurr Durrrr )) (( thought I'd let you know that two of my charries are here ^^ ))

 Jasmine Langdon Looks at the helicopter and the outstretched hand. As the door bust open, she nervously took the hand. An explosion of emotions waved through her. Most of them was fear. She growled. Damn humans and their emotions. She tried hard not to flinch, but she will admit it is hard as she gets hoisted up to the chopper. She takes a peek down, the military got there just in time. She knew she couldn't subdue them for that long, she was thankful she was able to slow them down on getting there to begin with, or else they wouldn't have ever escaped. [[Sorry I haven't been able to get on Vacation.]]

Elle stood up to greet the small group that had just arrived to the base. "Welcome. You've done well to make it here. I am Elle, and I'm in charge of this operation. We have facilities set up for any injured, exhausted and hungry civilians. Elle spoke staring at the man in a full black uniform and a helmet. "Sir, if I may, you aren't from this world are you? If not, allow me to say that neither am I and my family. If you were one of those ships that crashed and needs repair, let me know. I'm told I'm quite the engineer, being as I made mine, and my nieces bodies." Elle respectfully replied.

Icarius shook his head in response to Coraline's question. "No, I mean we
start running from here to get to the military base more quickly. I suggest
that we not stop for anything, because if we start running we're bound to
attract attention. Everyone will have to stay close to each other as a tight
unit, and no one can stray behind."
He ended on a rather general forboding note: "If you fall behind, you'll get left behind."
He looked around once more to check that the coast was still clear, and he
noted that he would have to stretch out a little bit before they started this wild
race. He was more than willing to go ahead with his plan, though he still
wasn't sure how Xavier felt about it, or if Coraline would agree. He looked at
the girl for a long moment before deciding that if she started to fall behind, he
could easily throw her over his shoulder and carry her for a few blocks. He
would tire more quickly, but it was a valid option in his mind.
"I could probably carry you half the way," he suggested to Coraline, finding
this rather logical, and not one bit awkward.

Prometheus took off his helmet as he was addressed, letting his long blonde
hair fall free of his helmet. "Codename Prometheus," Prometheus said in
response to her introduction and smiled at her in welcome. "I actually come
from this world, though many years in the future, but I can explain about that
later if you wish."
Turning to his twon companions, he introduced them, "This is Morgan and
Atticus, survivors of what infection seemed to happen here. I met them on
my way here." He didn't elaborate on how he'd known how to get here just
yet, and hoped that Icarius was alright. He knew that he wasn't at the
supermarket any longer, but that was about the gist of his knowledge.
"Our ship landed by a group of apartment complexes, and I could give you
the co-ordinates if you wish to retrieve it and bring it back here for repairs,"
he replied, though letting slip that he wasn't the only one to survive the
crash, "I would prefer to work on my ship alone, but if you can provide me
with supplies I would be most grateful."
Prometheus and Icarius came from a time when the structure of their ships
was very useful in repelling the enemy, and they took every precaution not to
let the information on the structure or workings of their ship was known to
any save a few with the clearance to know. Not even Icarius was trusted with
the full details in case he was captured.
"Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!
Look down upon my shame,
The cruel wrong that racks my frame,
The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength,
Till time's ten thousand years have measured out their length!"

Morgan was absolutely ticked off that he had basically been ignored
completely by the woman that seemed to be the head of this operation. Of
course when she mentioned that she was not of this world, it piqued
Morgan's interest, but he was unable to ask questions as she and
Prometheus continued to prattle on. He sighed impatiently, though he did
manage to ask if there was a bathroom and a hot meal somewhere.
He looked to Atticus and rolled his eyes slightly befpore he took off his own
backpack full of supplies to rest his aching shoulders. He was not used to
going long distances without rest after being cooped up in a highschool for
many days. He put his cricket bat down and rubbed his temples for a
moment, trying to ease his thoughts and lose his anger.
It would do him no good to be a wreck if he were to unlock a cure for this
monsterous disease. He wondered vaguely if they had the supplies he
needed to work on his expirements, but didn't ask as Prometheus continued
to gab on and on about his blasted ship.

"I'm terribly sorry for ignoring you gentlemen a moment ago. I was thrown off by Prometheus' guise and I have a bad habit of being too serious in some situations. It's nice to meet you, Atticus, Morgan." she spoke shaking both of their hands. "You two must be tired and hungry. Captain Lee, over here." Elle called to a near by officer and waved him over. "Captain Lee will assist you in finding anything you need here. If you have any questions about anything not on base, feel free to ask me directly." Elle spoke with a smile. Elle pulled up her black monitor and keyboard and started typing, "I'm not from this time period either, Prometheus. But, my future didn't end up with reanimated corpses. Let me have those coordinates, I can have a crew to pick up your ship in about a day and haul it to headquarters. I can also assign a crew of engineers and mechanics to assist in anything else you may need. We will be leaving this base in a couple days, so you gentlemen feel free to relax and kick your feet up." her speech was long winded but necessary.

 Xavier grinned when Icarius said he would carry Coraline.
It made him laugh, trying to picture that in his head.
But then again, it also made him curious.
Icarius definitely didn't seem like the kind of person
to do something like that.
Nevertheless, Xavier thought it was sweet of him.
"Okay, fine with me." Xavier said,
physically preparing himself for the run. ((Sorry for the late post! I had some stuff come up! Also, should we think of ending the roleplay some way? Like possibly killing off our characters? The roleplay ends at the end of April doesn't it? And not many people are active.. just a thought.))

Coraline eyes got wide and she thought about it for a moment. Why in the world would Icarius help her? She never thought he was that kind of person. Coraline shrugged "If I start to slow down then you can carry me. But I would like to push myself to run with you guys." Coraline knew she was slow and that she would fall behind, but she wanted to push herself to run no matter what.((even though my computer is down I still could kind of get on. I'll try my best to reply as quick as I could with you guys. Also sorry its short I only get 10-15 minutes on here before it freezes on me :/))
