@FantasyChic @Nallore - You two manage to break through the hoard but it is on your trail and growing larger as other walkers in the area are drawn to the sound of their own. The forest is dense and is slowly you down, thankfully it is slowing them down as well. Thing is though, now coming in from the open side of you all in the forest is a pair of walkers. One of them reaches out and grabs Tiffanys hair at the back of her head and pulls her back. There is brush between her and Roy, making it difficult for him to get a clear wack at the walker. There is also brush between Tiffany and the walker. The walker has a strong grip making it nearly impossible for her to pull away.
@Caits @Nallore - Wow, must feel like you just got out of county. Anyways, most of the shit is washed away and such. Between the shovel and some help from Neisha it shouldn't be much trouble to get Kris over to the infirmary to have her ankle checked out if you wish. It doesn't feel broken of course but an X-ray might no be a bad idea. Granted the smell is still there, might want to grab a shower first and get some dry clothing. It is hot outside so a chill isn't an issue but still - ugh.
@Charnobylisk @rivaan @Morose - The car battery fits the truck and after a few times, it finally comes to life. The truck does not have a bench seat. Simple 2 person bucket seats. Someone is going to have to ride in the bed of the truck. If anyone looks through the vehicles there are a couple of bottles of unopened water and some old packs of sealed jerky - plus 1, count them 1 small snack sized snickers square. Might want to make a move though, you can't see them yet but you can hear walkers off in teh distance and it sounds like a growing crowd.
Zoie Crawford
Location: Streets Of Newnan -> Building B
Zoie grunted as she tried to fight the Walker off her, attempting to reach her knife but she just couldn't get beneath herself enough to get a good grip on it. Struggling to keep the walker off her was more important right then and she feared that if she turned her attention to her knife anymore than she already was she would end up turning if she was bit.
"Off me!!!" she yelled, as if it could understand her. She knew it couldn't but that didn't stop her from screaming.
Then it's body went limp and suddenly Dick was there throwing it off her. Gasping for air she didn't notice the arrow at first. All she saw was Dick there, helping her to her feet. She was covering in rotting flesh and blood that had broken and peeled off the Walker during the struggle but that didn't stop her from stumbling and just resting against Dick's chest as she struggled to catch her breath. That wasn't something she had expected. The city was locked up safe, little ever got in, at least in the last thirty days they hadn't had a breach but she knew the face that was trying to turn her into a meal. That woman was from inside the walls.
Shaking her head she swallowed hard and looked back down at the walker. Seeing the arrow she looked around and spotted Bryn. Nodding slightly in thanks as her arms held around Richards waist. She would talk to Bryn later on and tell her thank you but right now she was a bit to wound up to form words. She just stood there for a minute, her eyes drifting down to the ground as she tried to calm her nerves, her heart racing in her chest.
Keeping her hear resting against Richards chest she didn't bother to look up or around, she just turned and walked towards her house, pulling Richard with her if he wanted to join her. She didn't want to let him go right then but she didn't want to drag him either. If he came with her he did. If not her arms would slip away from him and she would keep walking. Taking slow steps she made her way to her house and pushed open the front door.
Looking around slowly her hands came up and pushed her hair back, rubbing her face slightly with the back of her hand. What was she doing? What was she supposed to be doing? Closing her eyes she looked down at herself and groaned under her breath. She was a mess but that was better than being a meal for a Walker. She figured that either Bridgette or Bryn would take care of moving the now dead walker off the streets and to the burial site for members of Newnan outside the inner wall, it was in the green space near the school in building nine where Megna was teaching the kids who should be let out soon.
Astrid Hansen
Location: The Infirmary
Astrid nodded towards Ash and kept working. From time to time she would ask him to get her this or that but other than that she said nothing. She was rather stoic when it came to things and right then she knew that the doctor of Newnan was in her hands and her care. It didn't mean she didn't want to scream out or bitch but it just wasn't in her nature. Those things were held in and kept close to her vest until she could relax and be alone. She did not let people see her emotions. She didn't fault those that wore their hearts on their sleeves, like Zoie. In fact she slightly envied those that could at times but it just wasn't in her.
Taking a deep breath she looked over at the monitors she had set up and nodded to herself as the heart beat went back to what was normal for Froggy and his blood pressure returned to normal. She wished she knew how to run more tests but that would have to wait. Right now he seemed stable and she finally reached out and ran her hand over Victors forehead and back into his hair. It was about as affectionate as she got in moments like this.
Hearing a slight groan she looked over to the monitors and saw his heart rate going up just slightly and smiled to herself before looking over to Ash.
"He is waking," she said as she looked back down to Ash. Reaching down she took his hand, cupping it between both her own as she spoke softly and in an even tone.
"Victor. Can you hear me? It's Astrid. You need to open your eyes for me."
Tatiana Korvo
Location: Mess Hall -> Rec Center
Tatiana looked around and spotted Miss Sally as she headed back in after everything that had happened with Victor. Sighing slightly she looked over at the young couple and smiled slightly. It was slightly refreshing to see young love around the city. It didn't take a lot to figure out that Jack and Tatiana cared deeply about each other, especially the way that Tatiana laced her arm through Jacks as they walked and how she rested her head on his shoulder while she did. The young woman looked like a bird to her, almost like a humming bird that didn't want to hold still but also didn't want to be around anyone but one flower. Seemed that Jack was Tatiana's flower.
Stepping over to them she smoothed out the front of her apron. "What can I do for you two?" she asked.
"I told I could dance?" Tatiana said nervously. Miss Sally tilted her head to the side and wondered for a moment about what she was getting at. Then the smile on her old face grew and she nodded.
"I know where you can dance," she said as she motioned for Jack and Tatiana to follow her. Stepping to the east entrance of the mess hall she pointed out the door and pointed up the street. "Just north of your house, the large building before the inner wall. That is our rec center. It has been pretty cleared out. The kids use it when it is cold to play sports but I think the floor might be okay for a dance or two," she said before going back to work.
Tatiana's eyes lit up and she smiled, thanking the woman before lacing her fingers through Jacks and pushing out the door. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement at the prospect of having a large enough area that was safe to actually dance. Stopping in her tracks she held up a finger and darted off; running back to their house. Rushing in she looked around for her bag and quickly pulled her shoes out. It wasn't thirty seconds before she was running back towards Jack with her ballet slippers in hand. Taking his hand she pulled him with her as she headed towards the Rec Center.
She never looked this excited and as they pushed the doors open she gasped out to feel the air and see the open floor. It wasn't wooden but it was concrete and smoothed over with some type of wax or something to make it shine. Kneeling down her fingers ran over it and she let out a shaky breath. Wanting to kiss the floor as if it was a precious baby. Sitting down she pulled off her boots and flexed her toes off before slipping her feet into the only real possession she had left from the world before everything happened.
Standing up she stepped slowly over the floor, taking a moment to just marvel at the turn of events. Turning she looked over to Jack, her eyes moist as a few tears slipped over her lashes. She had never looked so happy since she met Jack as she did just then. Turning she took first position before she started to warm up, simple movements; nothing more, nothing less. But the look on her face as she did them was that of pure joy.
