Is it too late to do my last post?

Am i still considered in the rp?

World Long Gone

yeah of course

World Long Gone

Marcus followed behind her, keeping a good distance between them. He gave up at this point to try to talk to her. He knew he had to talk to River about Leanne to try and figure out what is going on with her. He kept his hand over the knife holder on his belt just in case he had to pull it out. He walked slowly watching all around them making sure it is safe. He recognized some of the old buildings he grew up around. They even passed in front of the elementary school they used to go together, it looked like such a wasteland.

Marcus looked at Leanne and how scared she seemed. In a soft, reassuring voice, Marcus answered: "Sadly, yes I know oh too well what they are. It is the reaction of being exposed to the chemicals in the bombs, but the good thing is that the chemicals do not stay airborn for very long, we just need to watch what we eat." Marcus got his hand in one of his pocket and showed Leanne a small booklet that the army issued where it explained how the bombs worked and what they did to living things.

As Marcus got up really slowly putting is bottle of water back in his backpack, he saw Lea ran out and started laughing is ass off. "Oh my god, seeing you run out like that made me remember those times we used to prank that old lady on our street! Hahahaha Remember?" Marcus looked at Leanne and realised something might happened in there. "Are you ok Lea?" Marcus turned around to offer is bottle of water to Leanne. "Here take some"

World Long Gone

Marcus stood there, in the middle of the street, stunned at how cold and mean Leanne was. He tried to figure out why she had that aggressive mood. Did she forget about their long friendship they had together? So he sat there, crossed in legs, removed his backpack and placed it beside him so he could take out his bottle of water. He removed his hat and took a little sip. He waited there for Lea to come back out, he thought to himself, still that cold, stern, and heartless girl I grew up with eh? He heard loud noises from inside the house. "Everything is alright in there!?" He shouted to Lea, before taking another sip of water.

Marcus was not good with girls, he always got in trouble with them even though he tried to be a good man for them. "I came back to see what was left of our place. I was alone and did not know where to go. I needed to see if the people I always cared about were still alive, so finding you in this situation breaks my heart. I want to help you and your sister get through this. I'm not leaving you girls ever again, I promise that." He kept looking around and found a can of her favorite food. "Here Leanne, have it. I want to show you that I'm here for you. You'll never be alone." Marcus gave Leanne the can with the most adorable smile he could do and went out the house, done searching it. As he got out of the house, Marcus looked back at her. "I don't want to lie to you about why I am back here but I just don't feel like it is the time or place. I promise I will tell you but for now you just need to trust me please."

Marcus just ignored her, he knew how stubborn she was. "You are not doing this, don't boss me around Leanne. I'm not a little boy anymore. I see you might need me way more than I need you. It's over following you around. It's time to wake up and realize the world you were in doesn't exist no more." He knew how rude he was to her but he needed to if he wanted her to stay alive. "And how can you blame me for answering like that, I know you lied too."

Marcus stopped searching and went to her. When he got behind her, he put a hand on her shoulder. "Look at me Leanne. It's ok now, you are not alone anymore. Stop hiding from yourself and everybody else. Look at River, she found you all by herself. You need to be the bigger sister and be good to her for once in your life. Your life depends on it."

Marcus was maybe a strong guy but deep inside he was always that sweet, loveable guy who just wanted to help everyone, and that is the reason in the first place he joined the army. He wanted to make a difference in the war to try and put an end to all of this. The war did not go the way he saw it, that is for sure but he still believed he could get through all of this. He just needed people with him he could trust. After finding Leanne and River, he knew he found what he was searching for.

Marcus learned pretty quickly how to read people's faces, he needed to since he put his life in the hands of his squad. So when Leanne was telling him her story, he knew something was wrong about it but did not bother to ask why. He didn't feel like it was the right time or place. Thinking about his past, Marcus did not want to answer her question at all, he made it short and sweet. "Oh well, I learned how to kill and survive and I was good at it."

Marcus stopped in front of a building, looking through the window, trying to see if anyone was in it. "Wait here Leanne, I will go clear the building and I will call you up when it is." He went in and started clearing out each room in a very methodic way. It was not the first time he did that, he was in a special operations squad in the army which led him to do a lot of infiltration. Once the building was clear, he shouted to Leanne. "Come in, it's safe!"

Still wobbly but still on his feet, Colt went to speak but the words came out in a hushed low voice. "Where is your leader? I need to ..." He fell to his knees still trying to fight his fatigue, he wasn't even able to keep talking. He looked around in desperation trying to find a friendly face but all he saw was the fear the others had of him. He put his hands up to show his resignation but that was when he lost consciousness again, right there in the middle of the camp.
