Realistic or Modern The Dead among us

[DreamCatcher99]

"so how did you get away Charlie."Rain asked him not really out of curiosity but out of boredom of not talking to people.

Jessica opened her eyes a little to look at Troye, when he explained himself she smiled, closed her eyes layed her head on his shoulder and went to sleep again, hoping to not be woken up, she was co comfortable and warming up, and2e didn't wanna be woken up unless someone was dying

 

[Catharsis]

"Maybe we still can." Sage said shrugging at Philip,". "I bet she's just worried for Emi. If I were seperated from Justice like that so suddenly, I would've been just as scared." Sage said frowning. She looked around the room they were checking out. It's walls were painted a light green, and there were flowers painted over the green. There was also a bit of blood that stained the light carpet. "Something happened in here." She said looking around at the things lying on the floor from struggle.

 

[Gitmuny]

He smiled "Maybe.." and threw his bag on top of the blood stain. He wanted to feel safe inside this house, and a blood stain on the carpet wasn't exactly doing that for him. "well whatever did happen, I'm just glad it wasn't us. There's nothing we could've done anyways, doesn't look like anyone's been in here for months." He was guessing it was probably a child's room of some sort, and the blood and scattered mess of the floor made his stomach unease and his mind began thinking of violent scenarios. He shook out of it after a few moments when Sage said something about Justice, she frowned. Phillip frowned too. Justice didn't deserve to have a fate like that, and Sage didn't either, he didn't really remember how long it had been but he still felt sad about it. He sat on the bed in the room, "Guess this one's mine." He said as he put his hands behind his head and laid down, stretching his legs. He was tired of walking.

 

[Catharsis]

"Me too." Sage said watching Philip lay back on the bed. "Sleep tight." She said smirking as she walked out of the room. She decided to take the room two doors down. The bed in there had looked comfortable. She tossed the blanket Jessica had given her unto the bed. She checked over the room one last time before shutting the door and laying back on the bed. She hadn't really planned on sleeping. The scars on her arm itched like crazy, so she slid of her coat and wrapped the blanket around her tightly. She took out her pocket calendar and marked the day off.

 

[travelbypages]

Should we skip a day?

 

[Gitmuny]

((no one's really posting, so yeah, I think we should))

 

[travelbypages]

((Should I start it? ))

 

[travelbypages]

The night had gone by fast, and she didn't even have a nightmare. Being in Troyes arms calmed her, and her reoccurring nightmare of her mother didn't keep her up all night.


The sun shone through the windows and she covered her face with Troyes chest and snuggled. When she realized what she was doing she sat up quickly and a bright blush rose om her cheeks "oh... uhm..." was all she could say.


Emi didnt sleep much, all she could think about was Jessica, but throughout the whole night she got four hours of sleep. It was a good four hours. When she woke up she rubbed her eyes and looked around "Alex?"

 

[Gitmuny]

Phillip woke up. It was the best sleep he had in a long time, that bed was nice. He opened his door and slipped on his shirt, and headed to where the washroom. He hadn't shaved in a while, he wasn't the type to grow insane amounts of facial hair but it was starting to show. He looked around the cabinets and found some shaving creme, and some unused disposable razors, it'd suffice. His face was clean, and soft, oh was it it soft. No one was out of their rooms yet, so they were either sleeping or just staying in. He walked down the hall, to Sage's room and knocked on the door. "You up?," he whispered through the door.

 

[DreamCatcher99]

Rain finally slept last night but woke when she heard someone knock on the door next to her.She never was a good sleeper and it was always difficult to go to sleep with all the moans outside.She got up to go see who it was and it was Phillip."oh hi."she said looking at him "sleep well?"she said not really cause she was curious just because it was a little awkward standing in silence.

 

[Catharsis]

Troye was resting peacefully when Jessica snuggled up to him. She suddenly shyed away. He opened his eyes and looked at her "No, come back." he said smiling softly at Jessica.


"Down here Emi." Alex said. Here was lying back on the floor beside Emi's bed. "Shh." he said gesturing torwards a sleeping Mackenzie. He stood and walked quietly out of the room so that he and Emi could talk without waking Mackenzie.


Sage stood from her bed slipping the cover around her shoulders. She opened the door slowly so it would not creak. "Yeah." she said smiling at Philip through the crack in the door. "You want in?" she asked softly.


 

For anyone who was wondering what Troyes cat lookes like

 

[Gitmuny]

He nodded at Rain and smiled"morning," he turned as the door opened and Sage was standing there wrapped in her blanket. He smiled at her "of course I do," he sat on the bed and looked around the room "quite the place," he said jokingly.

 

[travelbypages]

Jessicas blush got darker as she layed back down, with her head on his chest and looking up at him, "why are you being so friendly" she teased quietly and smiled a bit.


Emi looked at Alex "oh..." she stood and followed him out. "When do you think we should leave..." she asked shyly, she didn't want to stay in one place for too long or something might happen.

 

[Catharsis]

"Yeah. It was pretty cozy in here last night though I didn't sleep." She said smiling as she sat beside Philip. "It's December the 4th by the way." She said pointing at her calandar. "Wonder how long the group plans on staying."


"I'm a lover not a fighter." Troye said innocently. "Just doing what's best for the citizens in this house." He added jokingly.


"We've been quite. As along as we stay that way, we can let Mackenzie sleep in." Maybe stay here another night before we leave." Alex said looking at Emi thoughtfully. "Or we could look


For the others."

 

[Gitmuny]

"Something troubling you or ?" He looked at her, and then at the calender. Christmas was coming. He smiled at the memories he had of the winter season, and how it was his favourite time of year, especially when he was a kid. He shrugged and simply said "I honestly wouldn't mind staying here for another couple nights, that bed is way too comfy," A calendar. He thought to himself, although it was something odd to be carrying, and probably not necessary at all in these times, he liked the fact that she kept it with her. It gave him sort of a sense of civilization again, he was always keeping track of the date back before this all started, and it had long since been something he has forgotten to do.


He wiped the window from the fog that had built up on it, the sun was bright and it looked like a beautiful day. He turned back at Sage, who was still sitting on the bed and asked her if she wanted anything to eat, he was about to fix something for himself. If the kitchen hadn't anything useful inside, he would use the canned goods he had remaining in his backpack. "Hold that thought," he told Sage as she was about to speak. He ran down the stairs and looked through the various cupboards. He found quite a few things that he enjoyed to eat, including peanut butter. If only there were some bread, sadly it was all moldy, and stale. He continued rummaging through the pantry, he found some crackers to go along with the peanut butter. He grabbed a cracked plate from out of one of the shelves, it was the only one that hadn't been smashed on the floor, or left in the sink to be washed. He assorted a couple of "mini peanut butter sandwiches" on to the plate, licked his fingers and headed up stairs, back into Sage's room.


"You like peanut butter?" He asked her quietly, people still might have been sleeping. He didn't know where Jess and Troye were, and now that he thought of it, he'd rather not know. It was pretty obvious to the group that they had something, or that she was at least attracted to him.


He sat next to Sage on the corner of her bed, and divided up the small snacks. He took a bite of one and realized how long it had been since he had had peanut butter, it was almost as if he was eating a delicacy. (well who knows, peanut butter could be in these times) however, they were making his mouth incredibly dry, and sticky. He laughed as he semi-choked on the small flakes of cracker he had in his mouth and reached for the bottle of water he had also brought up with him. He took a nice, long swig from it and fiddled round in his mouth with his tongue for a moment.


This all reminded him of the old days. When cleaning your teeth of peanut butter was one of your biggest worries. But now... now you had to make sure the person you see down the road was in fact a person, you had to make sure you had enough warm clothes to last the night, you had to worry about being robbed, or gunned down on the side of the road by bandits. These thoughts, and images, scattered throughout his mind played over and over again.


Then he looked at Sage, this girl, who he had all of the sudden fallen for had an unnatural talent of calming Phillip down. She made all his worries go away, and when he gazed in her eyes, that's all he thought of. Her. The sun poured through the window and reflected on her hair, it made Sage look even more beautiful, and bright than she already was. Phillip swore to himself that if this wasn't the zombie apocalypse he'd totally be marrying this girl, but then again, it was the reason he met her. He smiled at her, and simply didn't talk. He took in all her beauty and sat their, admiring it, eating on his little sandwiches.


((thought i'd put more effort into my posts, none of it;s really significant so feel free to skim through it xD ))

dawwww. love the effort here


 
Sage watched Philip look at the little calendar. Something in his eyes flickered, and a smile played on his lips. "Its hard marking each day off sometimes." she said looking at the calendar too. She remembered the day Justice died. That had been the hardest day to mark off. She added a star to the day, so she could remember which day it was when he died. Philip suddenly asked if she was hungry, but before she could answer he muted her, and ran out the room. She could hear him stomp down the stairs. She combed through her hair with her fingers, and wondered what Philip was doing.


He came back in the room with small crackers and what looked like peanut butter. She responded to his question softly. He handed her some of the little crackers with peanut butter inside. She bit in to one, and she loved the taste. It had been a long time since she had eaten peanut butter.


"I never really liked peanut butter, but based on the circumstances, im warming up to it." she said smiling at Philip.

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica sat up a little looking at him, "at first I thought you were a cocky smartass, but now that I'm actually getting to know you... you're sweet... " a small smile touched her lips, of all the years of dating before the apocalypse she only ended up with assholes. She reslly liked Troye in the small amount of time they've known eachother, "you know, I'm reallt liking you" she said quietly and looked away. "I know... its too soon... I'm weird" she blushed and up a bit.


Emi shrugged, "im still a bit tired... I keep thinking about my sister..." she said sadly and crossed her arms looking down, "I miss her... but I won't be able to look for her if I'm weak. I had a nightmare about my parents..." she sniffled


((I wanna introduce another character... he could maybe bring the group back together... AND TACO, EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOUR PROFILE PICTURE I WANNA CRY A LIL BIT ))

Go ahead , LIVE for new characters. Right


 
Troye looked at Jessica, he faked a sniffle "You mean im a asshole?" he said pretending to cry. He looked back at her smirking, "I know what you mean." he said with a small chuckle. "It's okay to like me, but just remember im all Alex's." he said smiling widely.


"You can go back to sleep." Alex said looking at Emi. "I may need to go search for supplies later though, so you'll have to hold tight til i get back." he said looking at the door.

 

[Gitmuny]

((just didn't want to scare others away from the RP, it being novice and all xD ))


"you're kidding me right? I used to live on peanut butter. My mom would have to stock up on it like the world was ending." Like the world was ending. They both realized what he had said, and what was meant to be a joke, turned to be a bitter remark. Phillip paused, looked down at the plate which was surprisingly already empty after just a few minutes. "Sure has been a while since I used one of these," he said, plate still in hand. He began to examine the piece of porcelain. He tilted it, to look at the bottom and forgot about the crumbs, and most importantly the butter knife riddled with thick peanut butter. The contents of the plate slid off and hit him in the head. The knife left a bruise in the middle of his face, right between his eyes, and sticky crumbs littered his hair.


He laughed and blushed, looking over at Sage. "you didn't see that alright?" Conversations like this, about calendars, and peanut butter, and whatever else you could think of that seemed to be useless in normal society, actually carried a lot of weight now. It was the one thing they could all do, to ease their minds of the fact that they are the within the small percentage of people left on this Earth. It reminded them of how it was like to be civilized, how care-free and simple their previous lives were.


The nostalgia was nice. He was used to being embarrassed in front of girls he used to hit on. This time he didn't care though, Sage influenced Phillip for the better. Before he had met her, he was cold, and practically heartless. Had it not been for their random encounter at the church outside of those woods, he'd probably be a bandit by now. The dark world he was engulfed in had begun to transform him, until she came along. Now he was always smiling, he cared for others, and most importantly, he wasn't AS MUCH of an asshole than he used to be.


He needed this. The sun, the peanut butter, Sage, the comfortable bed, it was all making him veer away from becoming insane. A grin stretched across his face, and his hands slid towards the pillow at the end of the bed. He grabbed it and swung it at Sage, and laughed. Her hair flew around and she fell onto the bed, "get up, grab the other pillow, we're fighting." He said to her as he winked.

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica giggled a little and looked at him, "so even if Alex has... had... a wife, theres a gay relationship going on here?" She made a fake suspicious look but smile snd set her hand on his shoulder, "does this mean if I was being attacked by a biter you wouldn't save me?" She made a pounth face.


Emi shook her head quickly and frowned "ill just have the nightmare again... ill protect MacKenzie... I just need something to do to keep my mind off of Jessica..." she looked down

 

[Catharsis]

"Sorry, but its true." she said laughing. It was then Philip raised the plate to study it, when the knife slid from the plate, Sage immediatly started laughing. Philip made her happy, he was goofy, and he sometimes couldn't keep his mouth shut. He was the first friend she had made in the apocalypse, and he was the only one who seemed to like her. She raised an eyebrow at Philip "I'll pretend that didn't happen." she said laughing.


Philip reached past her, grabbing a pillow. A look of confusion spread across Sage's face. "What are you-" she was cut off when Philip smacked her with the pillow. "Oh, so you wanna fight?" she said grabbing a pillow laughing as she stood from the bed .


 
Troye looked at Jessica smiling. "We had a three person thing going on there." he laughed some. "If a walker where to come for you i'd definantly save you because then youd have to repay me." he said winking. "Anal gets old sometimes" he said with a shrug.


Alex looked at Emi sadly. "Okay, just keep the doors locked. Dont answer unless its me." he said as he grabbed his shot gun. "Ill be back" he said waking out the door."

 

[Gitmuny]

"Hell yeah I do," He said, taunting her. He raised his pillow and swung at her again, she blocked it. He continued to hit her with the pillow, softly. He stopped, to give her a chance, and that's when she swung her pillow at him, with so much momentum built up in it that it almost caused him to fall over.


He chuckled and raised an eyebrow at her "You're gonna wish you didn't do that," he told her. Phillip shoved his pillow into Sage and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. He ran them both back onto the bed. His breathing stopped, and he was on top of her and looking into her eyes. He moved his one hand over to hr head. He moved the loose strands of hair from her face over to the side. It was soft, and silky. He smiled at her. They looked at each other for what seemed to be forever, Phillip got lost in her eyes. He leaned in towards her lips, and kissed her, just like he had done in the photo booth.


The door to Sage's room was still left open, and this probably wasn't the best time for this, but it was too tempting.

 

[Catharsis]

Sage laughed at Philips falling. He stood up smiling, and Sage was trying her hardest to get away when Philip grabbed her. She fell back unto the bed giggling. She looked at Philip deep into his eyes. "I guess you win then?" she asked quietly. She was smiling hard, and couldn't wipe the smile from her face. Philip kissed her after what seemed like years of waiting. She let the kiss last until Philip pulled away, which made the kiss last a eternity.


She wasn't worried about the open door, after all everyone was sorta doing their own thing today. She looked back up at Philip. "Actually I think i did win." .

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica burst out laughing but quickly covered her mouth to muffle her laugh. It was dorky, like the sound geeks make with a snort. When she calmed down she gathered herself to say "well, not getting anything gets old too" she smirked slightly.


Emi nodded and locked the door after Alex left. She hoped he came back, her and MacKenzie wouldn't survive on their own.


((This would be a perfect time to make his wife bump into him. So if you make a post with Alex just be like "he stopped hearing a bush rustle" ))
