"It'll be a tight squeeze, but I think I can get through." Mikey said, looking at the vent.
It was quite small, but it could be done. All he would have to worry about were his shoulders. But first, he wasnt going to leave without a weapon of some kind. He started looking around the room they were all in, finding nothing. He walked through a door and found a room filled with circut breakers. In the corner was a mop bucket. Sticking out was a mop.
"Jackpot." Mikey said, looking at the length of wood from a distance. It wouldnt hold up long, but he would use it as much as he could.
Walking over to it, he heafted it in his hand. It was extreamly light, with more weight on the mop head side than the other. To be expected. He grabbed the head and snapped it off, keeping as much of the stick as he could. When it was all done, he had a makeshift spear about four and a half feet long.
He walked back to the vent and looked inside. It was going to be tight...
After several tries, he was able to fit into the vent. He found that it wasnt hard to slide along the smooth metal once he was inside. Several minutes later, he was at the end. Another several minutes later, he was outside, on the roof. He sighed deeply and looked for the other man who had went out earlier.

Elijha looked up and looked around the group. She was small enough to fit threw the vents without any problems. She could probably move threw them quicker than anyone else, and there were plenty of places for her to hid in the mall if something bad happened. She looked at the woman, and nodded slightly as she climbed on shaky legs to her feet. "I- I- will go," she spoke though her words more of a whisper as she moved from the corner. Her limp rather noticeable with her first step. She looked around the group with a terrified smile. Her hands shaking badly, but she quickly hid them. "F- father always said to help where it's needed," she said as she looked at the ground. Bitting her lip as she stood there. Waiting for someone to make fun of her or cut her down. One of the two things she was use to since she was growing up. All she could do was wait, before she could go back and hid in the corner.

Corey put her hand over the bulge in her stomach and took a look over at the vent. She was only two inches taller than Elijha so her height wouldn't be a problem with going through the vent and her dancing background allowed her to be very flexible so that also wasn't a problem. The only thing she needed to worry about was if she should actually try to get through the vent or if her child would let her try.
"I don't think it's a very good idea for me to go through the vent. I could try, but I don't think I would be able to fit." Corey admitted to the rest of the group that still remained.

Jake nodded as the muscular man and the woman made their way into the vent and to the other side, seeing the scared woman try to tag along with them. He could not help but think that she would not be good for trying to find survivors with, he then walked up to her, placed his hand on her shoulder and said to her with a smile.
"I'm glad you want to help, but I think you are better off to stay here with the other man and help the survivors when we find the rest of the survivors. But If you truly wish to go back in the mall and help us, then I wont do anything to stop you"
Jake then looked over to Otis and the man, with a nod, he said to them with a smile.
"Alright, Keep in contact you two, I want to know where any survivors or any supplies are."
And with that, Jake started making his way through the vents. After a little bit of moving around, he was able to make it to the other side, the place looked empty for now, with a elevator in the distance that they could use to reach the mall. Looking at the two people who were coming along with him. He said to them while pointing to the elevator.
"Ok, to reach the proper part of the mall, we need to take that elevator down to the ground floor of the building, once we reach there, we start looking in every store until either we or Otis in the camera room, finds them."
Jake then looked back to the vents, he wondered if the girl would take his advice or tag along, either way, he would need all the help that we get to save as many people as he could.

Elijha edged her way threw the vent. She knew what her father had told her, and had explained to her. She owed it to him to represent him in the best way possible. An sitting around a security room was impossible. She wanted to help, but at the same time she wanted to run. Yet she never knew if her hacking skills would come in handy. That and as long as she had a heads up of things, and given enough room so she could run away. Shaking her head a bit she kept repeating You have to be strong, over and over again. Stumbling out of the vent she nearly landed on her face, but quickly straightened up.
Sitting on the ground for a moment she removed her backpack, and opened it up. Taking out the can of pepper spray, and the baton her father had given to her. She zipped up the backpack, and put it back on. Climbing to her feet, she smiled weakly at the guy. "I want to help," she spoke lightly. Walking toward him, her limp noticeable with each step she made. She gripped the baton tightly in her hands, as she let the pepper spray rest in a side pouch of her backpack for easy access. "I don't want to be a problem, so if something happens you can leave me behind. Father always told me to help those who you can help, but don't make matters worse. That if matters get bad enough to fall behind, and let those you help flee to safety."

"Ok." Mikey said, listening to the instructions he was given. He wasnt much of a leader. He was perfectly happy with being told what to do and then getting it done. God knew he had been told what to do long enough. He was used to it.
His eyes scanned the rooftop they were on and stopped on the elevator. He walked over to it and reached for the button. Then he stopped. He had seen way to many zombie movies to fall for that.
He stepped back a ways and held up his "spear". Using the tip of it, he pushed the call button. It dinged, and the doors opened.
"Elevator's clear." He said, his voiced raised to ensure that they heard him.

OOC: I am assuming I am approved so...
IC:
"Well this is great" I mutter out loud as I back into an empty under construction store loaded with boxes and mannequins, my pistol in hand. I look around for something to throw as I was hoping to save my bullets, god knows I am gonna need em.
I grab a discarded nail gun from atop a box and bring it up to bear, "Alright I am only gonna warn you one more time, just stay the hell away from me!" I half shout before firing a nail into a few of the approaching people, only to have it not even effect them. "No good" I mutter. "Fine come on!" I shout before charging at them, only to spin out of the way at the last second and escape their lunges.
I continue running down the hall before climbing up onto a scaffolding and kicking down the ladder I used, creating a temporary place to rest. "Now what?" I ask my self as I rub my head with my hand, the crazy people already reaching for me, fresh meat.

ooc: Kanian, technically you are not allowed to post until your character has been approved by the creater of the RP. Unless you got a PM or a post saying that you have been approved, you have not been approved.
Corey chose to take the advice and not go through the vents. It was safer for her and she was sure that she could help out in her own way while staying behind. She was prepared in this room to watch over what was going on and to take care of anything that would come at her, but first she had to take care of something.
Ever since she first met up with the other people, she hadn't got their names nor had she given hers. Corey walked over to Joey and held out her hand, "I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Corey."

(Kanian has my approval to join)
Jake nodded to Mikey as he said that the elevator was clear, moving to the elevator, he pushed the down button and the three of them continued down to the floor.
Jake had his fist up as the elevator doors opened, he sighed as the area was clear of any zombies, walking around, he noticed a small hunting knife next to a dead body, picking it up, he said to himself as he looked at it.
"Well, looks like I can better defend myself, for now at least-"
Suddenly he heard two people crying at a corner nearby, walking nearby to the noise, he was soon punched by a young man who was trying to protect a young woman, after realizing what they had done, they helped Jake up. After brushing himself off, Jake pointed to the elevator and said to them as they looked to the direction.
"good to see some people alive, get to the elevator and crawl into a open air vent, you will be safe in the security room for the time being"
With a nod, the two of them made their way to the elevator and into the security room, pulling out his radio, he spoke in and said to Otis.
"Just found two people in the storage area, they should be there in a minute or two"
looking around again, he saw no more people left in the storage room, looking towards Mikey and Elijha, he said to them while holding the knife that he had.
"Alright, once we exit this room, there will be a whole bunch of zombies everywhere, if you have second thoughts on going back in, then the elevator is back there."
================================================
The two couples, named Matt and Judy, made their way to the security room, while climbing through the vents, Matt said to Judy.
"Well it was nice for the man to show us the way to the elevator and to the security room, we should be safe now honey"
"Safe? SAFE?! you think we are safe!, have you seen what those things did to Bill?... we are far from safe"
"Well look on the bright side, if that man has friends that could help us, we could be safe for the time being"
"I guess so... hey, I see a light"
Finally reaching the opened vent in the security room, the two of them popped out of the vent, looking around, they made their way to the more open room behind the camera room, letting Judy sit down on the seat in the hallway, Matt did what he could to comfort her, hoping to calm down fro mthe zombies that could have eaten them alive

"No, I'm fine. Im ready." Mikey said, looking at the door and taking a deep breath. "Nice glass jaw, by the way." He said as an after thought, just poking a bit of fun to try and lighten the mood.
He gripped the stick he held in his right hand so tightly that his knuckles were white. He stood silently next to the two others who looked like dwarfs from his standing. He wanted to open the door and run out, but he had to wait for his allies. Then something hit him.
"Hey, what if someone went out first? Clear a path? Or at least offer up some bait?" He said. He figured he would be the perfect person to do this. He was bigger and more athletic than either Jake or Elijha. He could do this.

I stand back up after 5 minutes of kicking back these crazed people....ah hell might as well call em what they seemed to be, zombies. I decide to walk along the scaffolding, not particularly wanting to have to race through the small horde of brainless morons, I need to save my energy for those pose a bigger threat, the ones who aren't zombies. A shiver runs down my spine as I remember my encounter with that grocery store guy and that wicked cart of his.
I shake and clear my head as I notice a zombie climbing up to my perch, "Ah screw off" I mutter before grabbing my pistol and putting a hole it its head at close range, it falling down and making a few others fall down with it. I turn and continue down the scaffolding to a gap at the hall way that leads to the hunting shop, I had been there a few times myself when I needed some ammo, the owner was usually slack with the law prohibiting the sell of handgun ammunition to minors. However right now I was pretty much full and the gun store would be a pretty good looking place for anyone else.
I shrug before jumping over the gap and landing on the other side and seeing the hardware store as I pass the corner.

Elijha looked up at Mikey for a second almost terrified when he mentioned bait. She stepped slightly behind Jake as she did. More standing toward the elevator. She watched them both as they waited to move. "I'm ready to go," she spoke her words coming out as more of a whisper than she wanted to. Both her hands gripped the baton her father had given her. She was prepared . . . and yet she wasn't. She couldn't be prepared. Her life circled around the theory of today's world. This never fit it . . . to be honest she really thought she was losing what little she had left in life. Her mind seemed to be slipping away from her, into a harsh movie that her parents never let her watch.
To violent for her . . . not ready for her to see, maybe never ready for her to watch. She wasn't like other children, ever since that incident with her foster home she had never been quite right in the head. To her own degree she was a special child, but one who seemed to be losing what she had left in this world. Closing her eyes, remembering what her father . . . foster father had told her. She had to be brave . . . she had to take what was thrown at her and make the best of it. She chose to come alone, and she needed to straighten up. Shaking her head slightly as she opened her eyes. She looked up at both Jake and Mikey. "Ready," she said a slight bit more firmly.

"Looks like ill be staying behind..." Joey raised his rifle, and smashed out the window in the security room, over looking the mall floors. He crouched down, and aimed down below towards a zombie, pulling the trigger. Headshot. "Cant just waste ammo on all of them, only the ones that block the path." From up here, Joey had the advantage over the zombes, a headshot would be easy because his life wasnt in any danger. He wasnt quite sure exactly how to make himself useful, but he made sure everyone was aware that if they got cornered, he could get them out in a pinch.

(ill let the window thing slip for now because I don't want everyone changing their posts and giving me a headache >.<, just keep everything else logical and look at the map in my first post in anyone feels confused)
Jake nodded to Mikey and Elijha as they said they were ready to enter the mall, moving to the door, he kept his hand on his knife and the other to the knob and said to them as he twisted the knob.
"Alright, on the count of three, we move out, one... two... THREE!"
And with that, he turned the knob, opened the door and stabbed the knife into a zombiefied police cop's head, sending him to the ground, Jake saw the handgun that the zombie had, he pulled it out and placed it into his holster, saying to Mikey and Elijha as he took a step out.
"better save the ammo, never know when we could find another gun here"
Jake looked around the Paradise plaza, the zombies were not as bad as he thought it would be, most of them were in packs instead of being spread out, this meant that they could avoid most of the fighting. Suddenly the radio sprung to life, pulling out the radio, he listened to the radio as Otis said to him.
"Jake, I just saw someone that looked like they are in trouble, a man seems to be on the top of the stairs the paradise plaza, head there now, the zombies seem to be heading to where he is"
Jake nodded and started making his way with Mikey and Elijha to the location of the man, finally reaching the man after weaving through the hordes of zombies, he saw the man, standing on the top stairs, while fending off the zombies that were attempting to grab him, Jake looked at Mikey and Elijha and said to them as he pulled out his knife and handgun out.
"alright, get ready, one we make a clearing for the man, we quickly start moving to another area, there are bound to be more survivors here"
And with that, he squeezed the trigger and sent a bullet at a zombie, making it drop to the ground when it hit it's leg.
