After I get home from seeing the Fault In Our Stars :)

The Miller Valley Counseling Center - Support Group RP

We can, but I will say that if it becomes a bit constraining (because of the fact that sometimes people are having conversations with each other, while others are pretty inactive), then there will be passes. That's just to keep it from getting so slow that no one cares to wait their turn to post and drops out.

The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined - Season 2

Shan and Ryder - Suburbs - Eric and others

Ryder still hesitated, staring between the man offering to help, and his group, who were almost camouflaged in the darkness. He frowned, and grasped the man's hand, hoisting himself from the ground. Almost instantly, he turned and reached down to pick up Shan, who quickly slapped his advancing hands away, taking one of them in her own. She hoisted herself from the ground, feeling as if she had run a marathon, just from that one little action. She stumbled, holding his shoulder, as her cheek pressed against his arm, and she closed her eyes.

"If you'll tell me where to go…I'll get the oxygen myself…", Ryder mumbled as they stepped up to the Yukon, and he pushed Shan toward the door, "I'm a fast runner, and unless you have enough to make it worth dragging her to another death trap, like our last camp, I'd rather you just drive us to a hospital…"

"Ryder…", Shan whispered, her hand coming out to tug at his sleeve from her seat, "Let's just see what's there…"

Ryder glanced back at her, before taking a deep and shaky breath. He was more terrified than angry and most of his lashing out came from the sheer panic of finding humans, and of opening Shan up to those humans. He didn't care about himself, but she was dying. She deserved to do it her way, and to not be taken advantage of again. Their last camp had turned out to be an elaborate scheme to lure in women, and 'boys'. The things that those men had managed to do to Shan, while she was separated from him would haunt his dreams for the rest of his short life. Sure, they had tried it with him, and those around him…but there was something about her...

Shan and Ryder - Outside Haywood - Haywood Scouting Group

As the men approached, Ryder stayed still, even though his body drew itself protectively over Shan's frame. He jumped at every shot they fired, and his breathing was shaky, as he tried his best to stay still, and hopefully go unnoticed. Once they were, what he considered, too close, he quickly drew Shan's pistol and shoved it toward the man's face, "Stay back…", he ordered, his eyebrows low as he covered her body a bit better. She took a few deep breaths, now that her oxygen was fully blowing into her nostrils.

As she sat up, Ryder's arm came instinctively to press against her chest, keeping her still. She slapped it away, taking another deep and shaky breath through her nose, "Stop. Ryder…stop…Listen to them…"

Ryder sneered for a second, before lowering the empty pistol, and lowering the hammer. He was shaking at this point, threatening armed men with an unloaded gun. He glanced between them all before taking his own deep breath, "She can walk fine…and we need medicine. We've been runnin' for ages, but she's on her last hour or so of oxygen. How do I know you're not some freaks that are going to attack us..?", he asked, as Shan began scooting away from him. Her face was pale white, and her lips were a faint shade of purple already. She pulled her beanie a bit lower on her head, and crossed her arms to warm herself.

"Thank you…", she whispered to them, her face tired but sweet, and her eyes heavy. Her short red hair peeked out from under her purple beanie, plastered to her forehead a bit. Ryder turned sharply, narrowing his eyes at her for her trust.

XD I was like REALLY?! Holy shit what did I sign up for.

I didn't know if there was like a posting order or anything. Some people are super anal about it. I'm about to post right this second, then. :)

Edit: I'm also going to edit Shan's character sheet just a bit, because I don't like the way I described her personality, now that I'm writing for her.

The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined - Season 2

Sort of change of plans. Is it okay if I post again, right now?

The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined - Season 2

Work time :) I'll see you guys in a bit. I'm super excited to be a part of this.

The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined - Season 2

Shan - Near Haywood - Ryder

Shan stopped, her breathing heavy and wheezy, causing Ryder to shut his eyes and stand still. She doubled over, the backpack falling off her arm as she fumbled with the zipper and began fumbling equally as bad with the valve on her tank, "It's not…Ryder it's not turning…", she wheezed.

"Here.", Ryder started, grabbing her shoulders. He lowered her to the ground gently, placing a hand behind her head, and lay her back, "In through your nose, remember. Just breathe slowly…I'll fix it."

He glanced down at the dial that sat on the top of the small oxygen tank. It was drawing itself dangerously close to the red, and they were miles from the nearest hospital. His brain began working over time, trying to think of all the possibilities for her. She couldn't die on him. Not now. He could carry her, but they would get there a lot slower. He could find a vehicle, but finding one with gas, that actually worked was nearly impossible out here, now. He ran a hand through his messy hair, and closed his eyes as she continued wheezing.

"In and out…", he whispered softly, his hand moving from his hair to her scarlet locks, his fingers brushing over her forehead to attempt calming her down, "I'm going to use the last of it…Just to get you to the next town. Then, I'll leave you somewhere and I'll go see what I can find. Relax and catch your breath and we'll run, okay?"

Shan didn't speak, her eyes were fluttered closed, and she nodded gently. As soon as he had confirmation, he turned the valve on, opening the tube completely for her to get the oxygen she needed. Then, he sat back on his ass beside her, waiting out the attack.

I only have one question, and I'm not trying to sound like every other stupid and inexperienced RPer when I ask, but who is where and how should I approach certain people? I'm reading back through, but I don't have time today to read through EVERY post to see what's happening.

:p I may or may not have sort of drawn some inspiration from Hazel and Augustus, thank you very much XD
