Let me just say before I continue to start on my next post in a bit, I'm glad you two are apart of this thread. Your characters are great and I like your posts. You both add a unique perspective to the story and you don't have a bland and creative-less "follower character" like I've had from other members in other threads before. I appreciate it :P It actually makes me look forward to read your posts and work harder at imagining creative ideas for the role-play.
Josef let the doctor examine him without objection and just kept staring at the keys in his hand the whole time. When the doctor finished and told them they had to go, he just looked to him and stood. His face was blank, but his eyes gave the doctor an appreciative look.
Joan stood in a protective stance in front of the doc and her brother and looked around too see if any other brain eaters were coming. The gun shots she had fired would surely bring a whole bunch their way. She turned her head to the side with her back facing them and started to say with a guilty tone, "Josef, I-" She couldn't finish her apology right now or else she would've choked up and he was already on his feet now. All that she felt at the moment was a feeling of guilt and fear. She remembered him telling her to slow down and she WAS going too fast. Joan wasn't afraid of much, but when it came to being responsible for something as serious as this... it was her worst fear. She was already responsible for Laina... Joan stopped thinking or else she would've lost it in front of everyone. She watched as Josef unlocked the cadi and got inside, and she quickly ran to the passenger side. When she got inside, she sat down in complete silence and kept her eyes down at the floor board. Josef kept silent and he just stared out the windshield as he backed out and made it back onto the road. It was only a few minutes on the road and Joan could tell that Josef was snapping back to his senses a little by the way he moved his arm uncomfortably. "I gotta say I'm-"
The car started to slow down and Josef winced, "You gotta drive Joan, my arm's starting to burn." He said with a serious and panicked tone. He opened the driver's door and the two of them both switched sides. When Josef got in the passenger side Josef spoke again, "It has to come off." He said, as he held his arm. "It NEEDS to come off NOW." Josef said as he started to wince again. His arm felt like acid had been injected inside of it and it felt like someone shot a hole in his arm just below the pressure bandage from where it closed off his veins. All of the burning pain in his forearm was throbbing as if the venomous virus was enraged that it couldn't reach the rest of his body. "I can feel my arm starting to rot on the inside. I don't want that to happen to the rest of me." He said to her and looked out the window for a place to stop. Joan immediately stopped the cadi and pulled off onto the side of the road where a rest area was. It was as if it was conveniently placed for the horror that would come next. Joan opened the door for Josef and he walked over to rest on the closest bench, holding his arm and wincing again and again as his arm felt like it was now on fire. Then suddenly, it all stopped. There was no more intense pain, but a slight numbness on the surface of his arm but he could also feel an itchy, burn discomfort within the flesh and bone - almost like when a fire ant burn starts to die down. "Get the doctor." Josef said and Joan ran over to wave the army truck down, so that the doctor could stop.
"He... He wants you to cut it off." Joan said as she swallowed hard and felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. "Right now."

I see, just to let you guys know that I can't stay up late tonight, because I have to wake up at 5 am tomorrow. Probably better go to bed now I guess. Good night.
Btw I'm going to make a list of events that have already happened (a re-cap) of what's already taken place on the first page of the OOC, so that we can keep up with everything in the story and so that whoever else wants to join will know what's going on.
Lemme know if either one of you is stuck and don't know how to respond or whatever.
After the doctor offered his 'contagious pen', Joan just grinned while shaking her head. She was impressed that the doctor came up with an alibi so quickly and delivered it so flawlessly. "Nice one, Doc." She said, and looked out the window to witness the highway. Josef just smiled with relief when the soldier let them pass and he noticed that Chloe seemed to be stressed from all the anxiety. He put his hand on her shoulder to try and relax her, but he seemed to hesitate a little in case she didn't want him touching her. Josef didn't say anything, he just gave her an understanding look and then leaned back to let his eyes fall shut.
"In a bit, you'll wanna get off on Wadsworth Boulevard - We'll stay on there for a little over six miles. Then you'll take a right onto Morrison road." Josef said aloud to the doctor with his eyes still closed. He forgot that his hand was still on Chloe's shoulder and he awkwardly pulled it away. He stayed silent for a good minute before continuing, "J knows where the cadi is, so I'll let her take over from here." Josef said, putting both hands in his pockets and stayed leaned back to rest.
As she looked out the window, Joan could see several tow trucks dragging abandoned vehicles away from the road which made it a lot easier for the doctor to drive the truck where they needed to go. A line of army vehicles were stopped along the highway and were dealing with the brain eater's that were walking in sight from behind the high shrubs. One of the soldiers used a pick axe to puncture a sagging faced walker in the side of it's neck and used his boot to pull the axe back out. When the truck got onto Morrison road, a fairly large herd of brain eaters were blocking the road and there were no soldier's around to deal with them. "Run em over." Joan said to the doctor.
After squashing passed the brain eaters, Joan told the doc to take the first right and she unbuckled her seat belt to ready herself to jump out. "Alright, Josef." She said and he awoke out of his short sleep and unbuckled himself once he recognized where they were. Joan unlocked the back doors after telling the doctor to stop, and she hopped out while the truck was slowing down. She looked back at the doctor before closing the doors and said, "We'll get the cadi, and you can follow us out of here." Joan ran toward a small warehouse and sprinted to the right toward a group of trees and tall bushes. Josef jumped out of the truck after her and tried to keep up, but she was already too far ahead.
"Slow it down!" Josef called after her, trying to catch up. He couldn't cover her if she was just rushing into things. Just then, Joan looked back when he shouted and a walker from behind the bushes walked out and knocked her down by surprise. The walker was about to topple on top of her until Josef sprinted as fast as he could and tackled the walker onto the ground, away from her. Joan caved the walker's head in after a few whacks from the bottom of her automatic's handle when Josef rolled away and she thanked him after he got up from the ground.
Right when she looked up another walker with a crooked neck came up from behind Josef and she tried to warn him! "JOSEF!" She yelled and he jumped back and put his arm up to guard his face from the walker's gaping mouth. The walker's broken teeth tore into Josef's forearm and he knocked it back enough for Joan to shoot it Thack Thack Thack!
"Dammit." Josef cussed aloud and looked to Joan with a lost expression. Blood was leaking down his arm to the top of his left hand from where he had been bitten. Joan felt a sharp pain in the center of her chest and she couldn't think of what to say or do. She ran back toward the army truck and opened the passenger door to get help. Josef made it to the cadi and sat against one of the tires in shock. He reached inside his pocket to find the keys, but he just stared at them in his hand.

I'd like everything I want while I'm young.
Nah.. Too busy contemplating my directionless life. Wish everything I wanted wasn't so far out of reach.
Any questions or anything you want to discuss while we wait?
That'd be pretty useful right now....
