Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry guys... I cannot post as Nina until we have a post for Jain))

Kalila visibly flinched at Ada's sudden change of demeanor. She silently listened to Ada's side eyes cast downward, and looking a bit like a scolded child. As Ada spoke, Kalila's mind raced for a rebuttal. She had one, but she had to get up the courage to argue with a person about 10 years older than her. But... The area was empty... she pouted in her mind. However, before she could do anything her younger sibling hotly fired back.
"Uh-uh!" He responded immediately after Ada stopped talking. It sounded immature, but Nicholas did not really pay heed to that kind of thing. "Kalila went with mom and dad to a Supermarket before they came home from Jackson Heights!" ((Refer to 1st and 2nd post I made, characterally, on this RP)) His eyebrows were lifted in the "You have no idea what you're talking about, just try and mess with my logic" fashion.
"Y-yeah!" Kalila blurted out, glad that her brother had caught on. "We were driving from Jackson Heights to this area, and there was like... No traffic at all. BUT, but, we stopped at a supermarket to get supplies, because my dad just plans ahead like that!" She was now getting excited in her explanation. "The store was completely abandoned... In fact, the roads were like completely abandoned, but that's not the point. The point is there was only one cashier and another, I think, two people in the whole f*ckin' huge store." Kalila normally didn't use curse words in front of adults, but David was asleep and Ada seemed like a person who would be cool with it. "Apparently a lot of people, well... Our parts of Manhattan, middle class/upper class... jumped ship as soon as they could." She said verbally saying 'slash' when referring to the classes. "I heard the freeways were congested as hell. The only people that apparently didn't leave were the people who couldn't afford it, or were out and busy and didn't hear about what happened in the Bronx... Like my family." She mumbled the last part and looked towards Nicholas.
"Yup, that's what the news pretty much said about the evacuations going on." Nicholas replied to the stare.
"Yeah... Nina doesn't live too far from here. She lives in my area. I would consider it upper class. The place should have been abandoned like the other supermarket. Who knows…? We might not even find a Wal-Mart close enough and have to go to the same supermarket as we did. Though, I doubt it... Capitalist pigs..."Kalila had mumbled the last part again.
"God, if you still wanna be a jerk about it we can talk to Nina though..." Nicholas said crossing his arms in an off hand kind of manner. After a short pause, he put his backpack on completely and banged on the table near David's head. "Wake up! We're going!" He said sick of staying put. He felt trapped. "I'm gonna go get Alex 'kay? Alright, bye." He said quickly and left just as quick towards Alex, so Kalila couldn't protest or David couldn't take his anger at being forced awake out on him.

Kalila rolled her eyes and looked towards the direction they came in from, down one of the hallways. She wasn't completely sure though sense she hadn't been paying attention. "We should meet up with Mizuki... and your cousin unless you want us to talk to Nina..." she said looking back towards Ada. She looked at the floor gripping the hilt of the katana tightly, then loosely, then tightly again. She was deciding on whether to ask a question or not and finally decided to. "Do you think they're still waiting out there...?” She asked David and Ada, referring to the infected.

Nicholas went back up to the roof of the building, where they had been before. He made it up in time to see Alex pull out his Wakizashi. Since his sister was a Japan freak, and one of her favorite character's of Rurouni Kenshin happened to be Aoshi Shinamori, Nicholas knew exactly what it was.
"Nice wakizashi, man." Nicholas stated and then looked over his shoulder. "Um, we're, uh, leaving now if would... You know... Like to come down and leave with us..." He said awkwardly. He was really good at making anything awkward. He walked back towards the place the majority of the group was, then, deciding Alex wasn't moving quickly enough for his taste, he went back and dragged him down with him. He came back to the kitchen area and grinned pushing Alex towards his dad in a non-serious kind of way.

"Alright, everyone's here let's go." he said quickly, his words mashing together with impatience. He picked up his rifle that was hanging at his side due to the strap over his shoulder and marched towards the area from which they came.
"No no no no, wait Nicho!" Kalila said tailing after him. They made it to the door.
"Shut up!" Nicholas said harshly to his sister. "They'll hear you!" Kalila immediately was quiet. "Do you hear anything?" Nicholas questioned. She listened intently and shook her head. Nicholas walked back towards the group, motioned them to come, and went back to the door.
"As soon as we're sure... We're gonna open this door... Does anyone want the honors?" She said presenting the doorway to everyone in a Vana White fashion.

Mizuki looked at the boy, this - Nikita, in relative confusion. His face remained blank for a short while before he reached up and probed his mouth with investigative fingers. Once the pads of his finger tips probed the tear in his lip he winced away in pain. Cafeful though he was trying to be, his prodding had caused the top of the wound to tear again and a dribble of blood ran down his chin. Mizuki hissed and hastily snatched a packet of the nearest thing from the shelves. Thankfully this didn't turn out to be something embarrassing like tampons or condoms - but a regular packet of tissues. Tearing this open hastily he mopped up the fresh blood on his chin, taking up some of the dried blood there as well - all too aware that the infected flocked to the scent of blood like sharks to prey, all too aware that he felt in the back of his head a nervousness. A nervousness caused (unknown to him) by the stench of something infected near by.
"Jeeeeesus." He hissed to himself in astonishment as he spied the blood on his fingers.
His body had been in such a sense of panic at the time the wound was inflicted that he hadn't registered its existence at all. In fact, he'd forgotten it had even happened.
He chuckled to himself dryly.
"Shiiiiiit. How messy am I?" He cast Nikita a cheesy grin that was blessedly like his normal self. It seemed, in a warped way, the dark humour of this discovery had lightened his mood significantly. After all, he'd lived to fight another day hadn't he?

The moment Nikita mentioned his meeting with the siblings Mizuki's mood lifted itself to newer and greater heights as a bright and optimistic smile played across his blood coated features.
"Oh my God! Seriously?!" Mizuki suddenly became aware of just how much of a teenage girl he was sounding at present and cleared his throat loudly before deepening it. "It's good to know their safe."
He nodded at the suggestion of cleaning himself up whilst he had the chance. Mizuki was completely bought in by the lie about supplies. After all - he hadn't gotten a clear look at the young girl yet to know she was infected - even though on a certain level, an unconcious one, he already knew.
At this very moment he was troubled by the smell of her. Something territorial inside him was baying out for her blood. But that something was weak and feeble - and would only make itself heard if Mizuki was weakened, either by hunger or by irrational negative emotion. For the moment it was merely a niggling itch at the back of his mind that Mizuki assumed was an oncoming headache. Rolling his shoulders in a jalf hearted shrug Mizuki chuckled light heartedly again.
"If there were Crazies trapped in here, believe me we'd know already." His hand sliped down his side and brushed affectionately along the barrell of his shotgun. "They'd have called out or made a move. They don't have the brain power to lay quietly in wait." His eyes flashed in the gloom with a certain hollow glimmer of terrible past experience. "The moment they heard our voices, or smelled you come in - they'd be here. Fighting each other out of the way to get the best bits."
Inside his head, Mizuki was curled up on the end of his bed, clutched the shotgun in his hands so tightly that his knuckles shone white and the cool metal was dewed with his sweat - heart pounding in his throat as he heard his parents grunt and snarl outside his room in the hall - closer- until nails dragged across the wood.

Mizuki was jolted out of these thoughts with a slight jump as he heard an echo in the distance of a blunt impact. He turned to stare at the dark rectangle of the closed door and frowned.
"Sure hope that had nothing to do with Kalila or Nicho. . ."

Garath was getting really anoyed at Reshion's actions again. He was begining to doubt whether Reshion would ever change. Regardless, asking some one to translate soemthing in the midle of an epidemic of zombies was stupid. "Reshion. There's no time to translate this journal right now. Maybe in Walmart there might be time. And maybe then if you ask Nina nicely to help you, rather then ordering it, she might be willing to. But right now you need to stop being so self centered, and think about the group. nina is the boss not you. She's the one who let us in here, and is the one helping all of us" He blew up at Reshion. Reshion's callousness towards Nina was just getting to be unforgivable. He kept his voice down to a hiss with some effort. He had no wish to attract the zombies. He regretted his words after as he had made the group seem really stupid infont of the new comer. Also he spoken for Nina, and he wasn't sure if she would be annoyed or not. She was the boss. He also regretted it as he beleived Reshion would either sulk again, or go into muscle spasms again.

At the top of the fire escape, Jain rested her back on the wall, waiting for her friend Nina to let her in. A squeal later, Nina had opened the window for her and Jain had flung herself on top of her friend to wrap her arms around Nina. "Nina! Ugh! I missed you so much!" She said, still hugging her and squeezed her tighter when she heard that her friends would be meeting her soon. She finally let go of Nina and patted her on the head as she introduced the new people in the house. At the mention of Garath, Jain nudged Nina with her elbow. Her first instinct was to yell "SKANK!", but with all these other people in the house that didn't know her, she decided that elbow-nudging would just have to do. "You too." She said in response to Garath. "You better watch yourself, son. You touch her, I kill you." This she said with a straight face, but began laughing almost immediately after. She moved her eyes to the person laying down and saw the girl that Nina had just introduced as Crimson. Her first thought was that the clothes that Crimson was wearing belonged to Nina, and second was that this Crimson...was very attractive.

Still half focusing on Crimson, she said hello to Thomas. "Hello, mister." But she brought her attention fully to Nina again. "Yeah. We saw that Reshion fellow. He left as we came in. I take it he's the one that makes every moment awkward." She said, still laughing, but her laughter was interrupted as Crimson woke up. "Um...I'm Jain?" She said, not sure what to do or say. She quickly took off her back-pack and put it in the corner of Nina's room, but again was surprised by the reappearance of Reshion. She giggled lightly at the comment Nina had made towards Reshion. She was very used to it. It was something that they girls did whenever a new guy came into the group so the boys would know that the chicks were off-limits. "Nina! That wasn't very nice." She said giggling, but began blushing intensely at the comment that Reshion made.

She was so wrapped up in talking to everyone, that she failed to realize the sounds that were pouring from the outside. "What the ********?" She whispered harshly. "Are those zombies?!" The thought that any creature could make such sounds terrified her, much more now that there seemed to be an army of them. Up until then, she had only come across a few of them; no more than 20 zombies. What are we supposed to do now? The way she saw it, they had 3 options. First: They could stay in the house and pray that they don't get in. Second: They could leave the house before the zombies could even realize that they're hiding in the house, or third: They could stay and fight. Knowing the kind of person Nina was, Jain guessed that she would want to stay and fight. The Sarge and Reshion would probably want to, also. A part of her wanted to, but she didn't want to put any one else in danger. Maybe these kids can't protect themselves? She stared at Thomas and Garath. Still...It's all up to our host. She thought, this time turning towards Nina. "So...What are we planning to do about these guys?"
