🧚🏻‍♀️ The Walking Dead - Year 6 Part 1

Ciel

---

Location - Back of the truck, heading towards Newnan

---

Ciel was in truly miserable condition, too weak to respond to anything. He was no longer able to even produce tears, being terribly dehydrated. At this point he was fully conscious and yet completely unaware of his surroundings. He almost wished he hadn't woken up, because as much as unconsciousness didn't offer much relief to his symptoms, it was ultimately better than being awake. Nothing was worse, in his mind, than being unable to move... or see, or speak. All he could really do was listen, try to stay as alert as he could.

At least he'd stopped vomiting, and hadn't choked to death on his own bile. That would be a nastier way to die than succumbing to simple malnutrition and dehydration. However, he'd managed to make quite a mess of himself, and losing what little amount of fluid was left in his system was not going to help him survive this trip. For the moment, however, he was mostly stable. Not dead yet, anyway.

Kaden

---

---

Name: He calls himself Kaden. He never tells his last name to anyone, and it's unclear whether or not he even knows what it is.

Sex: Male

Age: Even he doesn't know. He looks young, maybe 10 or 11 at the oldest.

Gender: Male.

Appearance:


Personality: Kaden is morally depraved, but rarely intentionally malicious. Though he has no qualms scavenging human corpses, he would never kill someone who trusted him. He steals to get what he needs to survive and is often unaware of whom he's stealing from, but he would just as quickly give his contraband away to someone who needed it more than he did. In short, he'll lie and steal and kill to stay alive, but somehow seems to be trying to be nice about it.
He's loyal in nature, but has difficulties maintaining companionships because of his extreme impulsivity and lack of social tact. His emotions tend to be hyperbolic to the situation, often vastly overreacting to small things.
He rarely speaks, communicating mostly through gesture and facial expressions. This is more likely to be a symptom of some underlying mental condition than actual mutism. When he does speak, he often speaks too loudly and in strange intonations. He has a very noticeable South English accent, indicating that he's likely from Britain.
He gets bored very easily and has a very short attention span. If he feels like he's being ignored, he'll often just wander off to find a source of entertainment without alerting anyone of his departure.
By surviving for over a year out on his own in the streets, he's proven to be very clever for his age (well, whatever age he is) and skilled in finding resources and general craftiness.

Short Bio: In times like these, nobody really cares to launch large scale investigations into the origins of random street rats. All that's known is that he's been living on his own for quite a while now. Food is scarce, so he's joined the others in cannibalism, as well as picking off the rats, pigeons and squirrels that still roam the streets. He's quite fast and has so far managed to avoid the risks of dying of exposure or infection. If he were any weaker, slower or dumber, he would have been dead years ago. Not being afraid to delve into raiding and cannibalism definitely helped along the way.

Weapons: A collection of sharp things he's scavenged from the streets. Everything from corkscrews to sharpened bones to surgical scalpels. He also has a slingshot.

Equipment:
-Leather suitcase
-Lighter
-Bottle of chloroform
-30 feet of rope
-Paper and 3 pens
-a pair of green knitted gloves
-Usually some sort of food.
-Slingshot ammunition (rocks, marbles, small animal skulls, etc)

Other: He seems to understand American Sign Language very well.

That is true, to a degree. New Guinea is the most infamous for the Kuru Disease, but Kuru is a Prion disease, and the contraction of it can occur from a corpse being devoured. The biggest cause is devouring old brains, bone marrow, and other highly protein-heavy nutrient rich parts of the human body. Kuru is not the only issue though, Kuru is just the most well know.

Prion disease in general are a problem in cannibalism. This is evident in a few cases in which cannibals have been noted having unstable hands, shaky arms, a jerking leg. These are early signs of a Prion Disease setting in with their muscle spasms.

@ManoftheNorth

Ah, I forgot that Kuru is a Prion disease.

But anyway, Kuru is usually transmitted through eating human brain matter.
There are a couple of reasons why Kaden might have contracted some form of Kuru, mainly that he's scavenging (therefore, what remains he's been feeding off of might not be particularly fresh), and that he's had no formal education and probably doesn't know about Kuru. But at the same time, most people who aren't trained hunters don't know that brains are edible. He's not likely to be eating organs that aren't typically consumed. Besides, since he can't save food easily, he tends to stick to smaller animals when he can find them.

Interacting with: No one at the moment, but anyone at the Medical Center can interact with him.

Linus stumbled into the nearby bathroom, pouring himself some water from the faucet. That cleared his head a little, alleviating some of the drowsiness that pervaded his system. He was a bit worried about what Zoe had said about 'regretting' leaving her side, so he wandered off to find her.

The kid coughed miserably, wandering through the crowded waiting room wondering where Zoe could have escaped to. He didn't even know her name yet, so there was no use calling out for her. For the first time in his life, he felt lost. Even though he'd pretty much always been living out on the street, it just came naturally to him. This was the first time he'd been unable to find someone he needed to find. What was Zoe even going to do now that he'd separated himself from her? Seeing as she had no qualms about abducting him....

Besides, looking for Zoe was not what he wanted to be doing right now. He wanted to go filch some cigarettes some place to get himself out of the beginning stages of withdrawal. But he couldn't leave the building until he'd reunited with his kidnapper, which was beyond frustrating. Why didn't Zoe stay with him when he'd started seizing? That would have been a lot more convenient.

"Damn it..." He swore under his breath, muttering a string of other curse words as he wandered around looking for Zoe. Of course, this wasn't a good course of action, as it's easier to find someone who's staying still, but he'd never been taught that. He was starting to think that maybe something had happened. Not that he was worried about a stranger who'd just kidnapped him, but he was more worried for his own safety. After all, Zoe had kind of threatened him.

A Rehabilitated Cannibal is very, very, unlikely in the New World. Our resources in the modern day still find severe cannibalism hard to treat, due to the fact that Cannibals eventually get a severe set-in disease called Kuru. Kuru is the human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease. It creates a serious of very major and degenerating symptoms, which are:

- Arm and Leg pain
- Progressively severe loss of Coordination
- Severe Cerebellar Ataxia
- Headache
- Difficulty Swallowing and Swelling of the throat
- Tremors and Muscle Spasms

These symptons take only a few months to appear, then you have only a couple years before they set in and by that time they take your life. Modern Medicine has no cure or treatment for Kuru, only a handful of psychological examinations that can hint towards the effects of Kuru.

@ManoftheNorth

Kuru has only been documented in certain cannibalistic groups. It's only passed by consuming the corpse of someone who already carries the virus. If everyone died, they wouldn't do it now would they?

Just Us

Linus, like usual, hadn't gotten much sleep. Since he'd been sent to live with his uncle and cousins for the next few months, he'd been kind of out of sorts. The nine year old felt sick and sleep-deprived, but he climbed out of bed anyway, staggering exhausted and bleary-eyed into the bathroom only to bump into his 17 year old cousin Forrest, who was rummaging through the medicine cabinet. Linus overreacted to the surprise, stumbling backwards and colliding with the door.
"Aah!! S-sorry, I didn't see you! I'm sorry, Forrest! I'm sorry!" The poor kid apologized at least six or seven more times, his light brown eyes welling up with tears. He'd always been a bit overemotional, and Forrest kind of scared Linus. Linus's father, Forrest's uncle, was also an alcoholic, and Linus had a few bad experiences...

Linus eventually pulled out of his repeated seizures, gasping for air like a fish out of the water. He was used to seizures by now, but he couldn't remember why he was in the hospital and felt himself start to panic. If he'd been brought to the hospital from the streets, the doctors would report him to the cops and send him to Juvy for sure. It was probably too late already.

He bolted upright, raking his hands through his hair and hyperventilating. He immediately felt sick, but he didn't let himself lie back down. His memories were starting to swim back into his stream of consciousness. He was still really confused about... just about everything that had happened, but he no longer felt the need to run away. He supposed he'd just get caught by Zoe again or something. He was still confused about what these people wanted with him.

Linus rolled over onto his side on the stretcher, clutching his chest and groaning miserably. He felt terrible and really needed a smoke. He looked around to see if he could spot Zoe, but there were so many people in the hospital by now that he couldn't see her. Ge climbed off the stretcher, staggering off into the hallway. He needed a glass of water, and didn't want to ask one of the doctors and risk ending up incarcerated by the cops.
