The Survivors - IC

[meiliming]

So many questions. There was a gunshot, yes, but that didn't mean that they should check it out. After all, where there were gunshots, there were guns. Was their group prepared to deal with people who had guns? Who were apparently willing to use said guns? Iseult didn't think so. At least, not yet. In any case, the clerk would fish through her pockets, taking out a lighter and calling out to the person who had summoned them. "Need a light?" She would toss it over to him, if he was paying attention. The last thing she wanted to do was conk him on the head with it.

She would want that back, of course. Not that she smoked, but a lighter could prove useful in a variety of situations.

9:30 - Kelburn City Park

Everything is all quiet now, as the time ticks away you all finally getting ready decide to start heading north, to the mall as well as to possibly investigate the gun shot.

[Hurati]

Hurati looked at the clerk, "No thanks, this thing only works when it wants to." He turned away from them and looked north towards the mall. He grabbed the cigarette and flicked it away, "Alright, let's go. Stay together and keep your cool., he glanced at the paramedic, "and no one runs off, anyone does, I'm not coming after them." With that Hurati started walking north along the street, he drew his USP .45 from his shoulder holster, holding it in his hand as he walked.

Claire followed Hurati. She quickly ran up to him and said quietly "I'm afriad that I'll probably be usless, I have no weapons and can't supply anything, the best thing I could probably be is a meat shield" .

Fountain/Streets

Angelina slowly got up, she was in a suprising amount of pain considering it was only a push. After finally getting to her feet she quickly followed after the rest of the group, after all, she was the only one out of them who had medical training. Although she didn't know whether to trust Hurati anymore. He didn't seem to have a very caring attitude, or at least, a caring attitude for the rest of the group. She remained silent as she moved with the group, thinking all kinds of 'what ifs' to do with that gunshot.

[BlackKnight]

David followed the group as he took out his yo-yo. It didn't really have muh value to him, except it kept him busy during slow days. He was playing with it as they walked. He heard Claire's comment and directed his vision towards her, no needing his vision since he kept a stady pace at th yo-yo. "Don't w-w-worry." he said. "You may...have s-s-skils that are very v-v-valueable to the t-team."

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire turned around and said "No, I can't do anything. The best thing I would be is bait".

[Hurati]

Hurati continued walking up the road, listening to the others chatter behind him. he spoke over his shoulder, "Everyone is useful in some form or another, whether or not they think they are." They had been walking for a few minutes and a pharmacy was on their left. Hurati started heading towards the door when he frowned and held up his left hand in a closed fist, a signal for the others to stop.

He noticed that the glass had been broken on the doors and they opened inwards. Hurati closed his eyes and breathed out slightly, he could 'feel' 3 other people inside, but something about them felt off. They felt over-joyed and giddy, unnaturally so. He could also feel a slight depression from the actor, nervousness from the kid, distrust and anxiety from the paramedic, a lack of any feeling from the construction worker, and it seemed as if the clerk was resistant to it, even though he could make out a slight... earnestness? He wasn't sure about her, he could hardly get a handle on her.

Hurati opened his eyes and shuddered slightly, it was a little disorientating to feel others emotions and he still needed to get used to it. Hurati looked at the group of people behind him, "Angela,Isuelt, Claire, and Cole wait here. David follow me." Hurati straightened up and walked inside with David following him, he walked to the front of the store and waited.

09:40 - Pharmacy

From here you can smell something off putting coming from the Pharmacy, you can also here the garbled slur of people talking in side, one of the voice's sounds panicky. The other two voices both seem relaxed those who worked with drugs or around drugs can easily hear the sounds of junkies, and those who worked with bodies can recognise the smell of something that had recently died.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire nodded and she sat down on the parking lot. She played with a few rocks while she was waiting.

[Hurati]

Hurati sniffed the air and made a face, he was used to that smell, having been investigating it all too often. He held his hand up, palm facing David to tell him to stay put, then walked towards the back. Hurati took a deep breath and walked around the corner with his pistol aimed at the three junkies, "Freeze! Kelburn P.D. Hands where I can see them." He put on a serious face, showing them that he wasn't in the mood for games.

Pharmacy

Angelina approached the Pharmacy with the rest of the group, and decided it would be best to listen to Hurati. However, something wasn't right about this Pharmacy... there was a strange smell, almost like... She quickly realised what it was, but realised saying anything out loud would probably be ignored by the group anyway. Again, lots of 'what ifs' began to run through her head. Was this corpse that she could smell the person who was shot? She wanted to run in there right now, but decided to leave it to Hurati, as much as she thought that he didn't care about injuries or death. Then again, if this was the person who was shot, there was nothing she could have done anyway. Either way, like Claire, she decided to sit down. She turned to face Claire and strike up a conversation "Hi there, I'm Angelina. What's your name?"

[BlackKnight]

David followed Hurati as he looked around the place was definantly ransacked, and the smell was nausiating. Like someone died for days here. He sighed as he looked at Hurati, who had his gun drawn at the people. "H-h-here we..go" he said as he took a stance that wasn't like his normal Capoeria stance, but it was a good wat to kick some momentum if needed.

[meiliming]

It seemed as if they were progressing well. Since it didn't seem as if she was needed for anything, Iseult stayed outside with the rest, fiddling around with a pair of scissors she had managed to salvage.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire stopped playing with the rocks and turned to look at Angelina. "My name is Claire. What's yours?" she said in a quiet, shy voice.

09:45 - Pharmacy

"W-What our hands up, why should we put our hands up the worlds gone to hell as it is shouldnt you put your hands up?" The man speaking was skittish, and looked nervous he had a slight twitch as he spoke and saliva is slipping from his mouth. The other two slowly turn their heads, one of them is a big man in the obese fashion wearing a beanie hat he slowly raises his arms a little dumb-founded.

His mate next to him looked like he'd been an athlete once but was now going through the motions of most addicts he raised his arm's as well, and looked at the cop. "Sup?"

[Hurati]

Hurati allowed a degree of humor to be visible on his face and he raised his eyebrow but didn't lower his weapon. He looked over at David and said, "Go back outside, I'll get you in a minute." He waited until David went back outside before turning to the junkies and lowering his pistol.


He still held it in his hand but said to them, "Not much, this and that you know how it is. I don't mind if you use the supplies here after we take a few things, but make no mistake we need some supplies. Also, who died? " Hurati raised his head and sniffed the air, once again catching the stench of a decomposing corpse.

[BlackKnight]

David walked out of the pharmacy with a suspicious demeanor. Why the hell would junkies raid through the medicine cabinet and Hurati just letting him go back to the group. Something didn't feel right. "Damn j-j-junkies." he said to himself as he went back to the group.

[Z-Fied]

Outside Pharmacy

Angelina responded to Claire. "It's a pleasure to meet you Claire. So, what do, or should I say DID you do for a living?" The smell from the corpse was getting stronger by the minute, but she didn't expect Claire to be able to know what that smell was. She noticed David walk out of the Pharmacy. "Hey, you, why don't you come sit down with us?" She wanted an update of what Hurati was doing, and why there was that disgusting stench in the air.

[BlackKnight]

David took this invitation as some real person-to-person conversation, since he rarely has that kind. He sat down with the group and sighed. "Three t-t-teenaged junkies...ransacked the p-p-place." he started as he took a breath. "Probably watted a t-t-trip to escape..." he looked back at the pharmacy. "N-n-not quite s-s-sure about the d-d-decaying st-stench...though."
