The Afterstory : A Post Apocalyptic Roleplay [Free-To-Join]

[Duffie]

Kira stood frozen, as Ken and Keena looked around for who had called out.

Keena noticed someone waving at shouting distance.

"Over there, guys."

The group looked toward the man waving toward them. The girls looked toward Ken, expecting him to say something. Ken continued to look at the man, then he looked at the girls.

"... Right..." He cupped his hands and started shouting back toward the guy. "ARE _YOU_ FRIENDLY?"

 

[Sploorky]

"Four...five months? Something like that. I don't remember anything of my past besides waking up in the dust. That was day one of this world. No idea how I got here, what happened, anything."

The man grabs the pouch, and hooks it to his belt.

"Oh, and my name is Holden. Who are you, and what's your story?"

 

[midnightgirl24]

She sighs.

"My name and story aren't important."

She looks off to the side, staring off in the distance.

"Honestly, I can't remember my name anymore. All I know is I've been here for a long time."

 

[Sploorky]

Holden stares at her, judging what to do. After several long seconds, he moves his hand away from his knife.

"I'm setting up a base for the night, and then I'm traveling more tomorrow morning. Would you like to come with me?"

 

[midnightgirl24]

"I would really like to. I'm tired of living out in this place alone."

She rubs her eyes slightly, trying to hide the fact she always hated being so alone.

"Thanks by the way, just for talking to me."

 

[Sploorky]

"It's not a problem, I don't like being alone also."

He takes out a small hand-made shovel, and starts digging a hole to make a shelter in.

"I have a fish to cook once I make a nice shelter. I also have some water, if you would like some. Now, do you have a weapon and can you hunt?"

 

[Duffie]

[Description time! Forgot to do this.]

Ken had scruffy short brown hair, was tall, but not too masculine. He wore a tattered leather jacket, probably found somewhere. He also wore jeans, and some heavy duty boots. He was carrying a large rifle, possibly an AK, of all things.

Keena had long brown hair, in a pony tail. She was shorter than Ken, but was taller than Kira. She had a leather jacket, as well, but it looked to be in a better condition than Ken's. She also had jeans, but instead had some basic tattered tennis shoes and glasses.

Kira had long black hair, also in a pony tail. She wore a T-shirt, and looked to be in pretty good condition, minus a few dirt patches. Again, she had jeans, and some tattered tennis shoes.

The group was each carrying a pack, big enough for them to carry. Ken holding the largest of the packs.

They continued to wait for the guy's reply.

 

[Thetogolopian]

"DEPENDS ON IF YOU TRY AND KILL ME! BUT USUALLY YEAH I'M A NICE GUY!" Zedd chuckled to himself. Although tall, about six foot seven, his light brown hair and soothing blue eyes accompanied by not being very muscular, he never thought of himself as a threat to anyone let alone a group of three.

"I guess anyone can kill now-a-days. eh?"

 

[Duffie]

"Hm... Can we trust him?" Keena asks.

"Of course not, but we can't have him following us either." Ken replies. Keena and Kira stare at him sadly. "What? I don't plan on killing him. He's probably a nice guy."

"Well... What do we do?"

Ken ponders the thought for a moment. "I say we see what he wants. If anything, he probably just wants to trade---"

"Or stab us in the back." Keena interrupts.

"I don't know... I feel like he wouldn't hurt us." Kira says, looking over at the man who was waiting for a reply at his safe distance. "I feel like he would have killed us by now, if he was going to."

Ken nods, then looks back toward the man.

"WELL, WE'RE FRIENDLY, TOO. WHADYA WANT?"

 

[Thetogolopian]

"SEE WHAT KIND OF KNICK-KNACKS YOU GOT, AND HOPEFULLY AN INVITE TO YOUR PARTY!"

 

[midnightgirl24]

"I only have a small knife and I haven't really hunted before. I may have some water later on."

She watches the man intently, looking somewhat curious.

"I'm guessing that's how you make your shelters?"

She rises to her feet slowly, feeling the aches and pains run through her body.

"Is there any way I can help you Holden?"

 

[Thetogolopian]

[thx aots, appreciate it.]

 

[Duffie]

Ken looks back to his group. "He's crazy, isn't he?"

Keena shakes her head. "I'm sure he just wants to trade. Wouldn't hurt to see if he has anything we need."

"But all we have is what we need!"

"I'm sure we have some stuff we can trade out..."

Ken turns back to the guy, yelling out to him for the last time, "ALRIGHT, WE'LL TRADE!"

 

[Sploorky]

"The knife may be good if we get in a battle. I can do the hunting, don't worry about it."

Holden reaches stone, and puts away his shovel. He grabs a small pickaxe, and starts banging against the stone.

"Yeah, this isn't exactly a great way to spend the night, but it works as a shelter."

He tosses the shovel to her.

"Thank you for asking. If you would like, you can clear out some more of this sand."

 

[midnightgirl24]

She catches it and looks at him.

"I would feel so bad if I made you do all this work. I should be at least be some help."

She slowly starts to dig out some the sand in the hole. She tries to ignore the pain and soreness, because she knows she wouldn't be much help if she let the pain get to her.

"So.." she trails off, wondering what she should say.

She continues to dig the sand out, pondering about topics she could bring up. She knows personal questions may not be appropriate, considering the situation that she and the man are in.

"Um, I'm sorry. I have no idea what I should say."

[EDIT: I completely messed up this post. I had my mind focused on something else and didn't read it right. lol Oh well, it's fixed.]

 

[Thetogolopian]

"Sweet! Maybe I can fix my alarm clock now." Zedd hurried over to the group. When he got close enough he unshouldered the backpacks and stuck his hand out to shake each of the others' hands.

"Great to meet ya. I'm Zedd."

After Ray has reported from Town Hall, he goes back to the tower to check on them.
"Hey, guys, any problems?" Ray asks.
"Yes. There's a big problem." Mark replies. "We got one of those brutes in solid metal armor there. And HE is the sniper. You think you can get out and disable him?"
"Yeah. Looks like i can. But i need a distraction. Can you shoot his gun or his head while i go out of the gate? I'll need to circle around the rocks without them knowing where i went to." Ray responds.
"Leave that to me." Mark says.

Mark proceeds to push the button, opening the gate wide open slowly. Mecra proceeds to finish the other bandits with a few shots to the head. Then the sound of gunshot being returned came back. Bullets going back and forth above the road. Ray runs as fast as his could to a rock on his right side. The man with the metal armor didn't notice him because he was preoccupied by returning fire to Mark. Ray goes around the rocks until he found the perfect place for him to lunge to him.

"Mark. Tranquilize her NOW." Mecra says.
"Will do." Replies Mark.

Ray has reached the edge of the rock. It's only the matter of time for him to lunge to him.
"Here goes nothing."
"HYAAAAAA!!"

Ray has landed on the back side of his enemy. Ray proceeded to yank open his helmet. He succeeded. He then gets thrown off by the man, landing him around the length of his foot.

"SHOOT HIS HEAD! NOW!"

*BANG*

The next thing Ray knows, the body of the man was lying dead. The splatter of blood, sprayed into the street.

The time sweeper awoke early into the night and noticed that the storm had passed.
Guess it's time to get movin'. Heard that they woulda gotten there by the end of t'day. Hope they were right!
The time sweeper set off for the bandits' destination.

[[ Duffie Purplish Hue = The colour DK described the acid rain clouds were where he is in the world in the cave. Its not really raining where I was, but you can kind of make out the colour from a bit away. Also jeeze, this is going faster then I can most likely keep up. xP]]

 

[Specter2k11]

[@DKnucklehead, i think the purple rain of acid should have a small radius, so other players wont need to follow the weather conditions. outside of that, time conditions must be followed. (This is not certain. I will discuss this with other players.)]

 

[Duffie]

Ken shook hands with Zedd. "Ken. That over there's Keena, and she's Kira."

Keena continued to keep her arms crossed, and Kira shyly waved.

"So... What is it that you're interested in?"

 

[AotsFTW]

White Suit had succeeded in climbing the mountain. He again stood on top of the large mountain; he was curious to see if the man who had earlier pointed over here took the food he had left him in a bag. He looked, and it didn't seem the man left any signs of an earlier presence. Sighing, he bent over and picked the food off of the ground and stuffed the plastic bagged food into his pocket before noticing the large firefight near the city north of him. He decided he would try aiding the men he earlier saw in the firefight, and he slowly went into a prone postion, slinging his weapon around and right next to him, the rifle resting on the bipod.

He went to go and grab his.binoculars from his backpack resting beside his other side, and he brought the tool to his eyes, getting a better look on the situation. Being a trained sniper, he made mental notes of the temperature, the distance, wind, and all other, yet smaller things. He continued looking, wondering if they even needed his help...

 

[Thetogolopian]

"Hmmm, a bottle cap would do nicely. Some string, maybe a sock? Oh definately a couple tooth picks. Have any of that?"

 

[Duffie]

"Erm..." Ken rubbed the back of his head, unsure if he actually had any of that stuff... Minus the socks. He looked back to Keena and Kira, who proceeded to shake their heads.

"Well... Can't say we do... Oh, wait." He opened his pack, taking out a glass bottle of Root Beer. "Would the cap of this Root Beer do?"

 

[Thetogolopian]

"Oooo I was hoping for just plastic but that's even better! I appreciate it."
