The world has changed. A few years ago, on a day forever known to survivors as "The Final Judgement of Humankind", all but less than 1% of the human population of earth died. No one quite knows why it happened, some think aliens, others think a mysterious disease, and others think of it as an act of god. In the years since human's mark on the world had fallen into disarray. Mother Nature claimed what was rightfully hers, cities became overgrown and the wildlife that once lived there reclaimed their spaces, humans were back in the food chain, falling prey to the predators that were once regarded as harmless. Looting still runs rampant in cities, becoming routine. Murder is just another way to survive. What happens to the survival of the species still remains to be seen.

Two people walk down a seemingly deserted street, quietly talking to each other. One of them, a woman with long black hair that had been died green. She has carries a bag over her shoulder and a machete in her hand. Every once in a while she swings it to clear away the brush. The other, a man with short blonde hair mostly covered by a baseball cap, over one shoulder is a green backpack, and in the opposite hand he holds a baseball bat. He has a lit cigarette in his mouth, drawing a puff every once in a while between sentences. "You know Nat, I think there might be a convenience store up ahead." He says to the woman known as Natalie.
"I don't think there's really anything we can find there worth our time Noe." Natalie says as she weaves her way around an abandoned car in the street.
"There could be food..." Noe takes a pause to draw from his cigarette. "Or smokes..."
"Fine," Natalie says in reply, visibly annoyed. "We're in and out in five minutes."
The two continue to trudge along the overgrown street, until finding themselves in the sight line of the store. Noe smiles goofily at Natalie after taking one last puff from the cigarette and tossing it to the ground, hoping for some sort of reaction from her as they find themselves getting closer to the store.

Dione took a deep breath in...and a slow breath out. She stared at the intruders from across the street, out of a window that had long ago shattered. One of them had nearly missed one of her snares. She picked her mask up from the ground and tied it on, grabbing her blowdarts and scurrying out to follow them in silence. She had to make sure they wouldn't steal her food, from her land. She climbed up a good tall tree and watched from behind the foliage as she lay on her belly across a branch with her darts at the ready.

it seemed "her" land had more visitors then she originally thought as Kimberly Spotted someone move into the trees, "big squirrel" is all she said to herself, deciding to see how this plays out Kim slowly walked closer to the tree where Dione was hiding in, staying maybe 30 feet, staying where Dione was not watching, reaching into her bag she pulled out her bottle of rum and took a short swig her eyes from under her tri-corner hat staying on the tree, she was alone in this bleak green world right now and alone meant death or worse, so she figured helping Natalie and Noe or Dione would be the best course of action, but she still waited to see how this encounter played out still unsure who to back if things go south or will she just walk away

As Noe and Natalie got closer to the store they both saw the shattered glass on all the windows. "Shit..." Noe said is disappointment, "Someone's already been there..."
Natalie turned to look at him, annoyed, "Well you had to expect it, a store that sells all the essentials is going to be the first to get looted."
The two continued their way towards it, as the got right in front of it Noe used his baseball bat the clear what little glass was still there and went in through the large window, Natalie following afterwards. Noe made his way behind the counter, looking up to see if there was still any packs of cigarettes left. "There's none left." He said as Natalie rummaged through the rest of the store, hoping to find some sort of canned food still there.
"Well what exactly do you want me to do about it?" She asks him as she continues her search.
Noe takes a cigarette out of the nearly empty package and pick up a lighter from in front of the counter. He flicks it and lights the cigarette before taking a long draw and blowing the smoke into the air. "I don't know, do you have any idea where I could find any more?"
"How would I know? You know I don't do any kind of drugs." Natalie says, getting visibly angry at Noe.
"Alright fine, just chill, I'm sure I can find some soon." He says as he takes another long draw from his cigarette.

Dione stayed nearly completely still, staring at the window through which the strangers had entered the shop. She hopped quietly out of the branch, her mask's "hair" swaying up and down briefly. She scuttled into a musty-smelling building directly across from the convenience store and crouched inside, waiting. She wouldn't strike if they didn't steal; she just wanted to see them out without a fuss.

"All this is shit, I mean we can get real fruit, why do we need canned stuff?" Natalie said, annoyed looking at the small selection of food actually there. Noe finished his cigarette and went to the window, tossing it out so it hits the ground, tiny sparks flying out.
"Well if you're not going to take anything I'll take some instant coffee then we can get out of here." Noe says as he opens his green backpack and puts a few packets of instant coffee in it, his baseball bat propped up against the shelf in front of him.
"We don't even have anything to boil water with." Natalie says as she stand up, starting to get less annoyed to get out of the place.
"I'm sure we can find something, we'll just go into an apartment or something, take a pot and mugs or whatever, go out and light a fire and have coffee." Noe says with a smile on his face.
"Do whatever you want, I don't even drink that shit, you have to keep the brain clear from the stuff that changes it." Natalie says as she makes her way out of the store.
"Suit yourself." Noe says as he picks up his baseball bat and slings the backpack back over his shoulder, following closely after her.

Azrael perked up. He could hear people talking. Voices he didn't recognize. He silently pulled his ACR from it's holster that was strapped on his back and knocked the safety off. The click echoed around the store, a bit more than he would have liked. He just hoped it wasn't heard by the people who were talking. He peered around the end of the shelf, ready to fire if he felt threatened.

Sam sat in silence. He had awoken in a damn bush again, without a bed what would he do? At the very least it wasn't a rose bush he could only think to himself. But he had heard talking, and a loud click, as if somebody had turned their safety off. Silently he pulled his 38. out, he would use it as a threat if he was attacked. The slightly browning iron on the gun looked bad, he needed to clean it quite a lot. He heard sounds in other bushes and he thought to himself. 'I walked into a snake pit, didn't I? He looked at the ever so dark store just in front of him. Gun drawn he stood up, only to see to people bickering between each other leaving the store. "Hey you! Over there! I am friendly mates!" He said, pointing his gun at the ground in front of him as he slowly walked a bit towards them. Then he sank. It had been so long since he saw other people he didn't realize what he did when he did it. They knew where he was, and so did probably five other animals or people, hostile things may have heard him.

Arryn bobbed her head around, listening to the song that was stuck in her head. It'd been so long since she'd heard real music and that was a damn shame. She sighed. As things were, today was patrol day. She had to come out of her little hole of an apartment to make sure everything was okay and to make a run to find any supplies she could glean. Today she was heading toward a gas station she hadn't picked yet. Her bow was on her back, as usual, her knives hidden on her person. She had a small messenger bag with her to pick up anything she gleaned from the place. She poked her glasses back up in place. Today wasn't necessarily a bad day, it just felt... charged. As if something was about to happen. She put a hand to her bow, just in case. Arryn's long red hair was down around her back again today. She relished in the feeling of her hair swishing down her back. Up ahead she felt a disturbance as a voice shouted out: "Hey you! Over there! I am friendly mates!" She gasped. A person! Taking her bow off her back and notching an arrow she stealthily ran towards the shop, she had to see the person before they left.

So many people. Dione simply wasn't used to it. She hissed to herself and crouched further down in the nearly-empty building, taking out a dart and loading it. Her mask had a mouth hole, which was covered in black dyed feathers that moved when she exhaled from her mouth. She slid one end of the loaded blowdart into her mouth, but didn't aim yet. It was too early to choose a target. She just knew that she would need to be ready if she wanted to escape the building crowd of people.

Noe heard a click and looked towards the source of the noise but he got distracted by the voice and turned his head towards him his baseball bat at the ready. After realizing they were in no danger he rested it on the back of his neck, holding it with one hand. "Hey." He said with a smile and a wave. He hadn't seen anyone other than Natalie in months, and their last encounter hadn't been one they'd wish to repeat.
The two made their way towards the man. "I swear to god if he tries to kill us I'll kill you before he gets the chance. You know what happened last time" Natalie whispered to Noe.
"I'm sure we'll be fine, I promise you." Noe said as they got closer to the man.
Natalie was the first to speak directly toward him. "Hey, I'm Natalie and this a friend of mine, Noe, pleased to make your acquaintance." She said as she held out a hand to be shaken.

Ib tightly held her sisters hand as they scurried down the street. Ib held the bat firmly in her hand and her eyes darted back and forth, on the look-out for danger. Mary was close to her sisters side, being quiet like Ib had taught her when they were on the move. Mimzy was clutched in her arms and her backpack bounced on her back as she had to slightly run to keep up. Ib froze when she heard talking and immediately pressed against the wall, her sister pressing close to her side as they all but stopped breathing.

Ib cautiously peeked around the corner and saw a lot of people. Her face paled and she pressed back against the wall, hand tightening on the bat. She glanced back the way they had come but knew they couldn't go back. A group of men had almost captured them and they had barely managed to get away. The 15 year-old bit her lip, running through their options.

Coughing slightly, he blinked a few times as they walked towards him. He quickly shook her hand and said "Thank God, I haven't seen another person since I arrived in New York. D-do you have any water? I am dying of thirst." He holstered his gun looking around to make sure nobody was sneaking up on him or that they were going to knock him out. He rubbed his eyes a bit and yawned as he had only just woken up. "Wait wait wait, I head a lot of sounds before I saw you. A click, and a rustling tree. I suggest we get out of here....Noe and Natalie." He said straightening up his back pulling his weapon back from his holster as he looked around listening for anything that may start walking towards them. "Oh, and I am Samuel, but you might as well call me Sam." He said last.

While walking to an apartment, Jeff hears some talking, but doesn't think anything of it. He find a door that is barricaded and knocks on it, but there is no answer. He pries it down with his crowbar. He sees a couple that had done suicide with a revolver. "Sweet, there might be some ammo left in the gun" he said. He checks but finds only one bullet left. He walks out of the apartment and sees the people that were talking. He hides behind a garbage can and gets his crowbar ready in case that they try to kill him.

seeing a small group take shape in the store and noticing more people hiding as she stood quite Kim did not know what to do, how did so many people all end up in the same place and it seemed things were about to take a bad turn "this is bad...." she did not carry any firearms on her so it was likely she would fall if people started shooting "damn it...I do not want to see these people kill each other.." she slowly stepped out from the area she was watching from her hands held up in the air, she slowly walked in the intersection between the store and the buildings she looked around as if trying to talk to everyone at once "I have seen this scenario enough times to know things are about to get out of hand, you guys in the store and who ever is lurking around the buildings are going to end up killing each other over nothing but fear of the unknown, my name is Kimberly and I am only looking to talk...." she kept her hands in the air slowly turning in a circle talking to the buildings and the store.

Ib pressed further against the building, eyes darting across the street to the trees. If they could make it there they would possibly be safe. But...She hated the idea of being in the open, even if it was only for a few seconds. Then again, they couldn't stay where they were, they would be caught. She looked down at her sister, the wide, innocent eyes that had seen more bloodshed than they should looked up at her. She made her decision and scooped her sister up and darted from the building, racing across the street towards the trees, Mary held protectively against her.

Attuned could now see them. Two men and a woman talking in the convenience store. She sighed, keeping her bow string taut. Sneaking along the back way she picked her footing carefully, careful to keep from stepping on any glass or anything that would make noise. It helped that she was barefoot. Shoes made too much noise. Creeping closer she was now behind the first man. With the other man and woman off to the side, a shelf in between her and them. Aiming her arrow at the back of his head she spoke. "You know, if you were trying to be stealthy, you're doing a piss poor job of it." Her mouth twitched slightly. She was amused. She assumed that the man was friendly as she had heard him say earlier, but she kept her arrow trained on him just in case. "Tell me... What exactly are y'all doing here?" Her voice was light so as not to set them all off. If they were to fight her she wasn't sure she wouldn't get hurt. But she knew she could at least hold her own.

Sam's face darted to the new voice, a silent sigh emitted from him. "I fucking knew it would happen. I hoped it wouldn't but it did. Knew I should have just ignored them but I haven't seen anybody in a long ass time." he said kicking himself holstering his gun as to not be shot in the face by the new lady. "Yet he aim realy at this point isn't to be stealthy. It is to not die today, and I want to accomplish that." He said frozen in place. An arrow trained on his face, a man who could surely beat him unconcious in just a moment, and possibly a man with actual ammunition somewhere around the store. His whole life would soon go and sadly he couldn't stop it.

Dione snarled louder than she'd meant to and snatched up a piece of broken glass, stalking outside. She was sure that everyone was mostly focused on themselves, so she scrambled back into the same tree she'd been before and crouched in the foliage, her expressionless mask watching the lot like an owl.

Jeff heard some kind of snarl from close by. From where it sounded like it came from, the person would be able to see him from where he is. He decided to dart to the net building over to hide behind, just in case the person had some kind of weapon and would kill him.
