E x t i n c t i o n: Part Deux

[.Merios]

Rodger was scanning out through the window at the horizon beyond, calculating where they were going to go and such, attempting to bring some order and answer questions about their destination that some members of the convoy may be asking amongst themselves. For some reason though, an annoying scratching noise was catching his attention in the back of the SUV and it seemed the scratching lead to an often-enough 'thud' sound the resonated through the cabin. He sighed a bit, he stopping mouthing words and unfastened his seatbelt and moved to the back of the SUV, stepping between the two front seats and kneeling on the back row of seats, looking into the trunk area.

A small canvas bag, beige in color, was in the corner, writhing and twitching, like a small animal was in there. He reached down and slowly moved his right hand towards the bag. He quickly grasped the cloth and yanked it up. A baby fox was gnawing away at what looked like a white solid object. He withdrew his Beretta slowly with his left hand, trying not to stir the creature. He brought the pistol around and grasped it in both hands, aiming it at the fox's head. The animal stirred and the piece of white dropped; it was a human finger bone with flesh still attached. It's head turned towards L and snarled. It's face was almost a skull, one of it's eyes completely gone and half of it's jaw seemed like it was hanging by a hinge and it's fur was matted and intertwined with rotten pieces of gore.

He quickly squeezed the trigger, the first round smashing into the creature's chest, sending it sprawling and rolling backwards. He quickly fired off another round, smashing into the fox's head, spraying brain matter and congealed crimson on the rear window.

Duego walked down in the middle of the road. He had his rifle slung over his back and was carrying his guitar case in his right hand letting it sway with his steps. The horizon in front of him told him that he was going no-where but the story was the very same if he headed back the way he came. For the time being he had to rely on his luck. Soon it would be night,,,,at least he thought so. It was easier walking during the night. Not so hot.

Taking out his water bottle he sprayed the back out his mouth but only lightly as to save some for later. It wasn't until he put the bottle away that he heard the mechanized noises behind him. Looking back he wasn't sure if he was seeeing things or not but it appeared to be a long line of vehicles coming down the road towards him. At first he thought about hitch hiking but then realized he'd just be a burden and they didn't need to take care of more people. He then walked to the side of the road opening his cuitar. Sure enough, under the felt his dad had stashed half a packet of ciggerettes. So much for quitting. Instead of sticking his thumb out he held out the packet as an offering to the mechanized gods of fortune.

-Jack sits there waiting on the bus driver to take them to some place-

[.:|CrackerJack|:.] When are we getting there man?[/b]

[anman]

Andrew was whatching the road and thinking of what he was going to do next until he noticed his pasanger go to the back of the SUV...he did not make much of it until hye heard gun shots he quickly spun around and almost crashed the car into a sign, after he noticed what happened he quickly spun back around and regainded control of the car. "thanks...." he said to the man....if he did not kill it or if he did not notice it in time....this trip would end faster than he thought.

[Gabriel]

Alex kept following the convoy, Driving the bus as they came along, and with a very energetic man in his ear as he drove. "Were following the convoy Jack, we end up where we end up." he said lightly as he looked around, the terrain just as bleak as it always was. He took notice to a shape sticking out of the area ahead of them, and he hit the CB when he saw that it was a person, and he was very much alive.

"Hey Rodger, we got a live one. Im gonna stop to pick him up, its not good to leave a man out in this place. And he is armed, so he would probably make a good addition to the crew." he said rather happily into the radio as the convoy eventually came to him, and since the bus was the last part he stopped for a moment.

"Hey stranger? need a lift?" he asked with a short smile, knowing full well that no one wanted to be out in this apacolipse of a world now. He took note of his weapons and he smiled. "Looks like you handled your own out there pretty well until now. If your gonna get on them go for it. There is some food in back if you are hungry." he said as he looked at the convoy in front. "We cant stay put long. Hop on in." he said quickly, awaiting his action.

[JazzBuddah]

Duego nodded and clibed up the steps into the bus. To be honest it had been years since his last experience of human contact. For awhile he simply stood there not knowing what to do. He took a look around seeinf the other passangers. All as ragged as he was. "I've...been living off the Earth." He then took a seat somewhere near the front putting his rifle and guitar case aside. "I'm from down south. Got here on my daddies crop duster. Thing broke down. It's of no use anymore." He then looked out the window. "My names David but you can call me Duego." He then took off his jacket and tossed it onto the case. "So...who are you? And what is this anyhow?"

[DaNnEh]

Taking a glance at a few of the people, a playful smile forming on her lips as her eyes lit up, "Its nice to see a man that knows what to do.", leaning her head back laughing before turning her attention to her glock, "Tsk-Tsk all that ammo wasted and I didnant get any raisons, ewww...canned veggies and spam." Her eyes glancing at some of the supplies that were sliding back and forth in the bus, placing her glock in its holster as she unslung her mini-14 eyeing the sights before slinging it back onto her back.

[Joshy]

Alex was still driving the VW when he saw someone enter the bus in front of him. After the person entered the convoy continued on its road to no where. Alex thought of what happened with the previous convoy he was in. After being attacked by crows, spiders, and the undead only Alex and Ryan were left. He thought it was a miricle that the sctath Ryan had obtained from Jack would've turned him but appearently not.

Alex shook it off and came back to the situation at hand, driving. He took his eyes off the road for one moment and turned back to the front of the van. Taking one of his hand off the steering wheel Alex reached around for something. At last he picked up a silver can and put it on his lap. Then he reached for a can opener in a cup holder and opened the can. A sweet smell of peaches escaped the can now. Alex kept the can in between his legs for now and began talking. "Nadine, do you wanna eat right now?" He asked her hoping she would listen.

[Biohazardous.]

Nadine took her headphones from her ears and gave a small smile. "Naw, it's alright. I'll eat later..." she bit her lip. The peaches smell was intoxicatingly sweet. "Uh ... yeah ... no. That would be nice. Peaches are good." She gave a lopsided smile. Knowing my luck, I'll just puke it back up, she thought. She tried to remember the last time she ate. Perhaps a day or so ago. She'd sooner skip off eating then have someone else go without food. She had always been like that. She coughed and turned off her music, setting her CD player into her messenger bag alongside her Vogue magazine. From her bag she removed a spoon, and gave an idiotic grin. With her choice of hairstyle, she could almost resemble a sheep dog if she tried hard enough.

[.Merios]

Rodger gave a slight smile and sat back in his seat, a bloody mess where the creature once was. He noticed a human up ahead, and before anyone stopped, he made sure to study him. A new person? We just picked up another, sooner or later, they would run out of room- but not too soon, the bus was made to hold upwards of around 60, so they were set for a while. The only concern would be ammunition and food, which always seemed to run out at the worst of time. Jack heard the announcement from Alexander and sighed, shrugging and propping his right foot up on the dash. He reached to the center console, and, without looking, used his left hand and grasped a small receiver.

"Welcome aboard, stranger. We're headed due North. We're somewhere around the upper boarder of Georgia right now. There's a few warehouses somewhere ahead- that's where they always store abandoned stuff during emergencies."

[Joshy]

Alex gave a light smile after looking at Nadine's silly face. He then grabbed a fork from a small open box near him and was about do dig in to his meal making sure nothing was wrong with the VW yet. "Alright, I'm going to eat now. I'll save you some just incase you get hungry later." Alex began eating and stopped after eating only three bites of the diced peaches. He put the can away and got back to driving. Talking to himself now Alex said, "So now were almost out of Georiga? Last I remember we just entered this state. So were going for more supplies too. Heres hoping it isn't aready empty in the place."

[Biohazardous.]

Nadine gave a smile and turned to staring out the window. She was sick of looking at and reading the same books and magazines over and over again. She was sick of hearing the same music over and over again. The former DJ and club owner laid her head on the passenger window of the VW and stared blankly out at the passing dirt and shrubbery. If I see one more plant, I'm going to go ape sh*t on someone's ass, she thought, screwing up her nose. She glared at the next plant. "I will straight up ghetto shank you, you dumb f*cking shrub." She said to said shrub as the VW passed it. "Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to you, you dumb plant. C'mon and fight me like a man." She stuck out her tounge and then let her head flop back onto the window, humming something pointless. She leaned down to her bag after a moment.

She removed a bottle of hot pink nailpolish, a hair clip and a stick of black eyeliner. Pinning her hair out of her eyes, Nadine finally revealed her hazel eyes. Oh, God, it's going to be another Apocalypse. I can see everything perfectly again, she thought drily, pulling down a mirror and sitting up, applying a thick layer of black eyeliner. She studied her reflection and made her infamous 'icky' face, a combination of ' lethal cuteness and pure disgust', or so her brother had said. She began working on the other eye.

[JazzBuddah]

Deugo looked at Roger and smiled. "Sounds good. I'm alright though, You boys just helped me out, probably saved me from near death. I'm not about ready to go and eating you out of house and home." He then opened his guitar case, took out his instument and began tuning it. "The names David but everyone calls me Deugo, had that name since I was five. I like it better. My parents were religeous, named me after a saint." He then laughed and looked back at him. "And I aint no saint." He then began plucking an unknown tune on his guitar. "Heading for civilization unknown huh? I'm actually looking for anything but." He then looked out the window. "If I can find another vast forest or green pasture unntouched by this plauge you can just drop me off there and I'll be just fine."

[Gabriel]

Alex looked in the rearview quickly and smiled faintly. "I dont know about that Deugo, places like that may not even exist anymore after all thats happened. And even if they did, it wouldnt be all too safe to be in one with all of the things that walk the world now. By the way, names Alex." he said with a grin as he looked back to the road, following the convoy as they drove through the barron waste of the world. Rodger said they were heading north, hopefully to gather some more supplies.

"So, i know some of your names, but what of the rest?" he said, trying to keep silence from reigning over the bus. It was at that point he heard Deugo playing his guitar, and Alex quieted down, just going back to what he was doing, driving the bus.

[DaNnEh]

Reaching out to grab a can of pears, a maytred sigh escaping her as she gazed woefully at the can, "I suppose its better than nothing.". Her gaze trailing to the back window at the vanishing sign of the grocery store,"I feel cheated, raisins would've been a pleasant change.", grumbling as she pulled the tab opening the can of pears, Liz's eyes going over to Deugo a smile creasing her mouth, "My, music with my food, this is quite a pleasant change. Oh, my names Elizabeth Swansong but most people just call me Liz.", giving them a wolfish grin before plucking a pear into her mouth, a faint look of disgust appearing on her face before swallowing, "Yum, canned fruit."

Leaning her back against her seat, the can of open pears held in her hand as she gazed at the rest, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I for one would love to actually take a normal bath.", a laughing erupting out of her mouth before placing another pear into it before continuing her white teeth showing.
