Enjoy The Ride, It's About To End

[lucas]

As Lucas was packing up a bag with gear, a few clothes, and some other nonsense, only one thought kept crawling within his mind. What the hell was he doing? Honestly, it probably would be safe to say that he was slowly going insane, and the the fact that he easily accepted such a truth made it all the stranger. No, he thought suddenly as he shoved the handgun he had found days ago into the back of his jeans, it wasn't he who was crazy, it was the rest of the world that had flipped upside down. With that new thought in mind, He threw the backpack of goodies over his shoulder and headed out of the apartment building he had sheltered himself in. All things considered, it wasn't such a bad place to live in, especially on the higher floors. The chances of a zombie strolling in were at the bottom of the mathematical ladder, while the possibility of Lucas miraculously throwing himself out the window for all zombies to feast upon was even further down.

Keeping to the narrow, darker alleys, Lucas could easily avoid an encounter with Death. Not that he couldn't kick a zombie's head clean off, bug usually they kept in gangs, making it annoyingly difficult for one person to survive an encounter since diplomatic solutions were conducted with violence, in the most literal sense of the word. The gun Lucas was carrying was full of bullets, since he had so ninja-like robbed an armory, strangely enough located in the basement of a family house. A single handgun could not, obviously, rid the world of all evil, but it had done wonders lately of keeping Lucas alive, and it also helped give birth to a a rather cocky attitude, but that aside, Lucas was fairly happy with his situation. Could have been worse, for sure.

Coming to an abrupt halt, Lucas stared forward with both eyebrows elevated in surprise. He was so caught up thinking of his spiritual condition that he had completely forgotten about where he was going. He was supposed to take a left turn a while ago to reach a shopping center, but instead, he found himself facing an Amusement park, large and almost inviting. The scary ride in the corner was especially alluring. "Fuck this" He murmured as he walked straight into the clutches of the entertainment kingdom. Hey, there were no lunatics in sight, so how bad could it be to check around? For all Lucas knew, things were found in places they definitely shouldn't have been found. Like an armory in the basement of a nice family, or a sports car inside a Pawn Shop. So, taking a deep breath, Lucas kicked the iron gates open and marched right in.

[Viridiana Lunest]

((hope you don't mind me hopping in, if it was meant for someone then just tell me and I'll take this down ))

She wasn’t supposed to be out today, after her last outing they had told her that she wasn’t allowed to leave without an escort. It probably hadn’t been too smart to tell them that another human had almost killed her. But it had been done, she had known almost as soon as the words had left her mouth that it had been a bad idea but once they were out there it was impossible to take them back. Of course being the woman she was it had taken one incorrectly spoken order for her to march right out of the headquarters, only pausing for a moment to grab a gun from a nearby guard. They had threatened to shoot, she had told them to go for it. Viri had little patience for those idiots... And that was how it had ended, with her threatening to shoot anyone who tried to follow. Gotta love the apocalypse and the lack of rules...

Viri had straightened her hair as well, they had brought a new Mudo in for her to operate on and after last time she had opted to tame her red curls. Her curled hair had a nasty habit of escaping from the bun she threw it up in every day for work at the worst times. Last time a Mudo had grabbed it and pulled her close. Luckily they had pulled its teeth and dislocated its lower jaw. The Radicals hated when she did that but accepted since she was such an asset. Heaven forbid she got bitten and they no longer had a doctor to try and find a cure. Last of the mongrels... She almost laughed at the name but god, sometimes she felt like she was just that.

The amusement park had long since been used, people generally avoided it though she didn’t know what. The park was reanimated free thanks to the fences surrounding it once used to keep people from entering without paying. She was curious if people just didn’t come because of the memories? Why knew... But there was one thing she was sure of and that was to not turn on the machines. The noise would probably attract Mudo from every corner of the county. That would suck... She simply wanted to sit today, remember the days when she used to go to the amusement part with her family, those better times.

The squeal of iron made her jump to her feet from the seat she had found in from of the ferris wheel. She looked up just in time to see a guy kicking in the front gates. Well that wasn’t subtle... But at least from that alone she knew he wasn’t a Mudo. She had always hated the name Reanimated. Though she understood it she had met some that still seemed completely normal, the only thing different was that they couldn’t speak and that’s what Mudo meant... ”Keep that up and every Mudo around is going to come running” she warned with a small smile as she made her way towards him, gun at her side and openly visible though her other hand was in the pocket of her jeans.
