Date:October 27
Time: 5:30 PM
Temperature: 62 F A slow breezed rolled across the small streets of another town that was marked clear. The town use to be no more than five hundred people, and seemed to be built around city hall which lied at the end of main street. As the breeze stirred the leaves that seemed to cover the streets a man wondered through the flying brush. He stood tall, wearing his hair spiked up and tall, held in place by a red head bands the blew in the wind with the leaves. His large shoulders and back covered by a black leather jacket with a tightly fitting black shirt under it. The man, Kuro, had his left hand tucked in the pocket of the jacket as if to keep it warm, but the other shining brightly in the afternoon sun hung loosely at his side. Walking into what use to be a small town, now left empty and slowly rotting. It hadn't been that long since the people of this town were evacuated to a "safer" location, Kuro looked around walking down the main street, thinking to himself, "They must have been moved out rather recently, I mean the paper is only a few days old." he sighed deeply, "Seems odd the buildings are already starting to crumble thought, someone must have done something here." He kicked a rock across the road, it smashing into the side of a car creating a large dent, he looked to his foot confused. "My powers have been acting up lately"[/i] he thought to himself. He tucked his hands deep into his jacket pocket, the black leather creaking slightly as it stretched with his hand. He pulled two small head phones from it and placed them in his ears as he began to continue through the town. He came to the split in the road, he looked both ways, then turned right. Heading towards Charleston, "Gotta long walk ahead of me, I should grab some eats first." he smiled to himself seeing a grocery store ahead. He continued jamming out to his music as he walked, getting a little sway in his step as he mouthed the words of the song. As he entered the grocery store he looked around, most the shelves were still full of fresh product. He reached up taking out his head phones, "Not making me much more comfortable...." he said as he grabbed a small basket and began walking the lanes grabbing a few supplies. |

This was wonderful. Just wonderful. How the hell did he get to south Carolina? Sure, she knew she had put off heading back to Texas, but South Carolina? Really? She had managed to find a payphone and give Lantos yet another crappy reason for why she wouldn't be coming back soon. At least this time she had told him where she was.
Now, she had left New York some time ago, but Eli wasn't really all that great at deciphering bus schedules. Quite a few times she had gotten onto the wrong bus. Which was part of the reason why she was walking toward an apparently abandoned town.The woman had finally managed to catch the right bus, but it had broken down. Instead of waiting around she had decided to walk over to the town they had passed. Sure, it was abandoned, but she figured there were a few cars there she could simply drive out of there with. It couldn't be that hard to find the keys.
Of course, then she had been feeling bold. That feeling had passed quickly, and now Eli was wondering into town with her tail tucked between her legs. Metaphorically speaking anyhow.
At least it didn't look like the town had been evacuated too long ago. That meant that the water and what not probably hadn't been turned off yet. That was good. Maybe she could just stay here the night. It was getting late, and nobody was here. She'd be fine.
Noticing a supermarket Eli headed toward it. Maybe she could get some food and then head into one of the abandoned houses or something. As the door opened for her she stepped inside. Grabbing a cart she shoved her bags into it and began to walk down the aisles, looking for something to eat, fairly unaware of the fact that anybody else was in the store. |

As he wondered the lanes of the store, he heard a slight noise as he approached the back wall. He placed his small basket down and took his bag from his shoulder placing it next to it. He crouched down and slowly began making his way towards the sound. "I knew it, someone else is here." he said softly, "Someone did something to all the people here." he said as he approached the noise.
It sounded like a cart rolling down the lane. He placed his back against the shelf behind him, and slowly slid down to the end of the lane he was in. Who or whatever was mere feet away from him. He was going to either have to confront it, or try and get his things and get out.
As he slowly moved to head off the lane, a case of wine hooked the back of his shirt, and started to slide off. He turn quickly grabbing most of the bottles, but a few fell hitting the ground. As he stood to try and move he slid on the puddle dropping on his back, pieces of glass getting wedged in his arm. "Oh god, could things of gone any worse" He shouted as he flailed on the ground trying to get his footing and get the broken bottle out of his arm.

She had been busy throwing a few things into the cart when she heard a crash. Jumping she immediately backed up against the shelves, looking nervous. Eli was about to bolt, but then she heard whoever it was fall and shout. At this point, she figured she could probably take the attacker, whoever it was.
Rounding the corner she looked down, only to see Kuro flailing around on the ground. For a moment she frowned. He was in Alcatraz....crap, she was going crazy. That was great. After a moment though, the guy didn't turn into someone else or disappear and she realized it had to be him. Moving so she was standing over him she smiled slightly. "Kuro, is that you?"
Okay, it probably was him, but that was beside the point. You never knew...plus he was on the ground and moving around so it was hard to get a good look at him. Catching sight of the armor though she grinned. "Oh my goodness, it is! That's great! You got out!" |

"Huh, oh shit Eli," Kuro said with some disbelieving in his tone. He looked at the girl then tried to stand up, as he rose his foot shot out from under him slamming into the shelf, landing flat on his back again he let out a gasp of air. He then looked to her a smiled, as the shelf rocked finally a box filled with bottles came crashing onto of him shattering as it made contact. "I hate my life." he sighed trying to rise back up.
As he stood he looked over to the girl, and tried to dust the glass off of himself he sliced his hand on the palm, he looked at it, "Well that was dumb" he said. He placed the cut in his mouth, then looked to her, "Its been forever, how have you been missy?" he asked her. He then decided it would be easier to just ditch the clothes instead of try and clean them.
As she talked Kuro gripped the bottom of his shirt taking it off and began walking towards his bag. His back covered in scars and now new wounds from the glass. He reached back scratching his head, "Hope I still have a shirt in here, its kinda chilly." he thought out loud.
