PART TWO

[ Okay, so you got out of the mansion. Great, right? Now you can go on home to whatever hut you live in, and...



Uh.

Wow. This is definitely not your island. And the drone of monsters just outside the fence doesn't sound like any dingo you've ever heard.

Speaking of, does that sound like someone you know? ]

[ ooc; Phase two! YOU MAY NOW TAG THIS POST WITH 4TH WALL ZOMBIES. Of course, feel free to continue threading in the mansion post! However, this post marks the beginning of the city phase. ]

... You mean the mansion? I'm not going back there!

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

... Even if you say that, it's probably not gonna be much safer anywhere else...

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

So? We worked hard getting out of that place! What makes you think it'll be any easier?

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

[... sigh]

Alright. Then, let's find somewhere else.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[She rubs the side of her neck.]

Right... now the question is, where to?

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

That's a good question... It's not as if we know the layout of this place.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

True. But it's not like we have a lot of options, unfortunately.

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

... For now, let's keep moving. It's not good to stay still in one place like this.

[She keeps a hold of her weapon as she takes steps ahead.]

Not when these creatures are around, no.

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

They shouldn't be smart enough to ambush us, so it's just a matter of keeping our guard up. In any case, stay sharp.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

I know, Shiki.

[She glances both ways and ahead, trying to remain as vigilant as possible.]

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

[Walking behind, silently sharpening his senses and carefully feeling out the surroundings]

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[First step in her agenda: look for a place with enough space and a speedy escape route.

Next step: avoid any encounters with zombies, though it'll sooner be easier said than done.]

(... In the worst case scenario, we might have to endure this for a while.
If that's the case, food and shelter would be the first priority.
Kallen-san seems to be used to fighting, but I doubt she has much experience with the Dead.
Then...

The cold of my knife's hilt keep my senses up.
... I don't really like it, but I probably won't be able to get out of this without fighting.

... It can't be helped.
In order to protect her, I... ...)

[This is nothing like the battlefield, where she can ride in her Guren and crush her enemies to smithereens amidst the explosions. No, this is a horror movie scenario where she's a normal girl having to fight off dead corpses -- a far cry from battling a tyrannical empire. Two scenarios involve one glaring similarity, however: to fight for survival.

She reaches over to her pocket; her knife is still there in perfect condition. But she needs more weapons.]

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

Don't worry.

I'll make sure we get out of this alive.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[snorts a little]

I hold you to that.

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. If we run into anything, just worry about yourself. I'll take care of the rest.

[he sounds pretty calm, yet resolute as he says this. And really, he HAS been unusually calm this whole time. He hasn't even flailed once.]

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Oh no, don't think you'll be the only one dealing with them.

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

Aha...

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Really, I can't let you do this on your own, you know?

[More walking goes here. Where are you, safehaven? Please show up!]

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

Heh...

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

-- Is that what I think it is?

[mai-naifu.livejournal.com]

Nn? What is it?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Another building!
