The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined - Season 2

Meghan - The Pub - Cody/Hazel

The dinner forced Meghan to hold back a smile; it was cool to have a guy around that wasn't anti-social like Sylar. Not that she didn't enjoy Sylar's company - they'd been through so much together - but he was basically batman in a leather jacket: He ticked people off easily and didn't really care unless they brought their feelings to action. Sylar confused Meghan sometimes; at one time, he would not care for anyone, keeping only the two of them alive. Even to Meghan, Sylar could be crude. However, when something happened that put Meghan in danger... Well, she'd hate to be the one that cause that danger. If she was in danger, Sylar turned into a very intimidating man, and then he'd pulled her into his arms, swearing he'd never let her out of his sight again.

Meghan's mind snapped to the present and she listened to Cody. "It's a miracle that we found Hazel and the Pub, actually... Thats what we call it, by the way..." Meghan stated, and stiffled a laugh. She spooned her rice from the bowl and ate it with her good arm.

You can go ahead and approach Sylar if you want(you can find him in Atom's Info Post on the first page). I'd come up to you, but Sylar isn't the kind of guy that... socializes willingly.

Abram - Haywood

Abram faced Jess with stern eyes, as she fired at him, then at herself, then at the world. He looked to Emma as she spoke, and his mind began to piece together yet another puzzle. Emma and Jess's apparent meeting, Emma's time in the cells... Daniel and his sister reuinited a few weeks after the attack on the catacombs... This place - this haven - was Haywood. It had to be... He felt a strange relief flood him; like he found that he didn't have to worry about a third group that would try and kill them.

"Jessalyn, you look at me. You don't have anything to apologize for. The only thing you did was get protective over the man you love and thats nothing to be ashamed of." Abram placed his hands on either of the girl's shoulders. "We will do everything in our power to find Floyd and we will do everything in our power to get him back here."

Meghan and Hazel - The Pub - Cody

The smell of the food faded as Hazel trekked to Cody's Room. She contemplated what would happen if Cody decided to stay. If this guy was legit... then he could be a lot of help. However, if he was rotten, then he could take Hazel and Meghan out with a twitch of his finger. No, stop that, Hazel Lawrence! She shouted at herself. This guy looked genuine; he couldn't have been all that dangerous, anyway... he was maybe a year or two older than she and Meghan. She ascended the stairs, as Meghan had sad that he was on the second floor. She saw him walking in the hall, and gave him a small smile.

"Hey- uh... Dinner's ready, you're welcome to come whenever you're ready...

Abram - Haywood - Daniel/Emma/O'Connor/Brianna/Jess

Abram gave a small smile when he saw Emma down the slope. He caught the girl as she jumped on him, and returned her enthusiastic hug. "How ya doin', E.j.?" He set her back on the ground, but his ears perked up as Emma seemed to recognize. One thing was certain in Abram's mind; he had not expected that... Abram looked at Daniel, and then at Emma... then it hit him like a tsunami tide.

He'd seen Emma from his old apartment. He couldn't remember who her face had reminded her, and she looked a lot different than she use to, so Abram didn't register her face... but now he knew who she reminded him of: Daniel. Their faces bore many similar shapes; their noses, the creasing of their eyes, their lips... Abram had watched Emma Crowe go into the catacombs, and he'd done nothing but watch. He'd done that every time Tyler's men brought in new girls; he'd watched. He could have at least tried help one of them escape... Emma would have been the perfect one... He cursed himself silently... He had been a coward.

Sorry, I've been in Fort Worth all week so I've not had too much time to do... anything really. Working on a post right now, actually. Sorry Shelton

Meghan - The Pub - Hazel

Meghan listened as Hazel spoke. "Well.. uh." She began trying to word her sentence right. "I've actually only known Hazel for about three days... I'm from a bigger group on the outskirts of town called Outpost. My -um - friend Sylar and I stumbled upon a group of survivors that were scouting around... we were tracking them for hours before they ended up here." The girl laughed slightly. "Actually, our Scout group were already here and the group of bandits walked right up to the doorstep. We got into a fight with them... and won, thankfully." She indicated the cloth that her hand was in. "I got shot in the process, and went unconscious."

She shrugged lightly. "According to Hazel, while I was under, the guys had to go back to Outpost and I was barely able to stand because of how much blood I'd lost. They're going to come back in a few days though." There were two beds in the room and Meghan sat on the one close to the door, glancing at cody's rifle briefly. "I'm from here, but I came directly from Nashville, where Sylar is from; I was visiting my uncle. Sylar and I came up to New Orleans because there was supposedly a Military safe zone...but I guess you know how that turned out."

"I don't really think I'm at liberty to say anything about Hazel because I've not known her for long, but she's really nice and helpful." Meghan said. After a moment she stood and spread her right hand. "Whelp, just- make yourself comfortable, Hazel will have dinner ready real soon." She smiled and walked out, heading back towards the kitchen. She smelled cheese in the air as she walked in.

"Cheesy rice, anyone?" Hazel announced as she stirred a red pot. It was amazing that the Hotel's power and water were working, and that they could cook whenever they like. "Did 'Soulja Boy' find himself a room?" She asked. Meghan laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, he's settling in."

"So... do you think he's trustworthy?" Hazel asked. Meghan contemplated for a second and then nodded.

"Yeah... he's got to know his way around his gun and he looks pretty strong, so he's gonna be good to have around." Meghan stated. "What do you think Reggie will say about him?"

"I dunno, but, you should be wonderin' what Sylar will be saying about him." Hazel gave a wink and giggled, but Meghan was confused, and cocked an eyebrow. "Oh come on, girl, you know he's cute!" Meghan laughed at the statement. "Dinner's up, I'll go get Cody."

So I posted and also edited my previous post with responses with Sylar and Abram, just so it wouldn't be an empty reply box

Meghan – The Pub – Cody and Hazel

Meghan saw that the new guy, Cody, was obviously a US Soldier, like that Enrique guy that had come with Luke, Rudy, and Reggie. Hazel stepped back to allow him into the kitchen. “O-of course, yeah…” Hazel said, lowering her gun and sliding it into her waistband. She motioned back to Meghan, “Uh- this is Meghan…”

“Hi…” Meghan said, giving him a small wave and an equally awkward smile after putting away her own weapon. Meghan glanced over him, quickly as not to let him notice. He was tall and looked lean like any soldier, but he wasn’t Enrique or Reggie’s size. He had a cute face, and she could see the tip of his buzz-cut hairline, and his chin and jaw were lightly lined with hair. He wasn’t bad looking…

“Meghan can show you to the rooms and you can pick whichever one you like. I’ll get dinner started.” Hazel said. Meghan led Cody out of the kitchen and down the winding hall. In the first corridor of rooms, Meghan motioned widely with her arms.

“So, where’d you come from?” She asked.

Sylar – Outpost – Reggie

Sylar was not exactly fond of the people of Outpost. The scouts were great, and Myriah was fine… but the residents made a habit of ticking him off. Not on purpose, maybe, but each time Reggie and his scouts would return with certain supplies and not others, the people had the audacity to complain about it.

As Reggie brought about his proposal, Sylar was almost jumping to accept it. He would be able to be close to Meghan, and still make runs around the city. He nodded, decisively. “I’d be honored, Reggie.” It was then that he saw one of the new guys – Thomas Zucchini or whatever his name was – walking around. He’d heard him talking to Matt earlier, but he was certain, neither of them had seen him… Something about this guy gave Sylar a very uneasy feeling.

“Hey, sorry if I’m jumping over the lines, but… I want that Thomas guy…” To Reggie’s confused expression, Sylar elaborated. “He… I don’t know why, but he feels like trouble. He doesn’t look like a random survivor. Enrique and Bex look up to him like he’s their general. If he’s gonna stay, maybe he should be away from the main community…” He said. “Could you just… offer the position to him?”

Abram – New Orleans/The Vicinity of Haywood – Jess

He looked at the tall tower of smoke that rose above the tree line as Jess pointed it out. “Could be…” He said, but inwardly knew it was a ludicrous idea. Floyd was smart, too smart to light a smoke flare. That would broadcast his position and put him in danger. However, he decided not to trouble Jess and he turned down the next road, trying to track the smoke.

By nightfall, Abram found that the smoke was gone, and he now drove down a long straight road. He slowly pulled the car to a halt… he could just make out a tall building in the distance. He stepped out of the car and made sure that there was no threat around. Opened the back door and pulled his rifle from the seat. He steadied the weapon on the doorframe and peered down the road. At the end of the road, lay an apartment complex, closed off by a patchwork, wooden gate.

Meghan & Hazel - The Pub - Cody

Meghan and Hazel sat in the parlor of the motel, playing a game of Phase 10 from a collection of games that had once belonged to the motel owners. The girls had resorted to this game after two games of uno, a game of scrabble, and an awful attempt on Hazel's part to teach Meghan to play Rummy. Meghan found it hard to play with one hand, because of Phon's crude sling. She dropped her head backwards as Hazel victoriously declared, "Boom! Phase-freakin'-Ten!" The girl threw her deck on the table. "I am the master." Meghan stiffled a laugh and grinned briefly. She set her cards down in a far less flamboyant manner than Hazel, and stood from her chair, stepping from the table. Hazel shrugged her shoulders and sighed.

"Its getting late, lets eat." Meghan proposed. Hazel nodded, and started towards the Motel's kitchen area. Before they reached the back of the kitchen, a knock resounded at the alley door. Hazel instantly pulled her gun out, prepared to take on anyone who rushed in. Meghan's right hand(thankfully her uninjured arm) pulled the pistol from its holster, and she held it like Hazel, but with one hand. The voice that called sounded like a man, and that worried Meghan... It wasn't Reggie, Rudy, or Sylar... so a new person...

Hazel cautiously approached the door and kicked the latch with her boot, holding her pistol outward. She found, however, that a headshot would have done her no good. Outside stood a man clad in Army SBD, and his helmet would have deflected the the unintimidating round from her gun. He was tall, about 6 feet, maybe an inch or two taller, but he wasn't extremely built... but that didn't affect the girl's attitude's towards the stranger. "Hi... Welcome to the Pub..." Hazel said. "We were just about to have dinner."
