✪ Fifth Star: Hunger Games ✈

[undying_heroism]

[Spending the day scavenging wasn't exactly fun. He didn't get too much luck save for bits of metal here or there, or broken things that might, if combined, be suitable weapons. Food was no-go. But half the time was spent investigating the highway's limits. However, the most he got there was just hearing a bunch of weird sounds in the distance

Shelter forever

[kinships]

[When the trapdoor opened above and admitted someone climbing down, Cain was understandably tense. But seeing who it was... a smile split a dusty face and he hurried over.]

Alfred!

and ever and ever and ever

[undying_heroism]

[The sudden voice made him jump. He didn't realize people were already down here, but it wasn't a far-fetched notion either. Not when people had to do anything to survive.

The dim lighting took some getting used to, but the voice was unmistakable.]

Cain?

CAIN!

Oh, dude! [rushes over, patting the air space in front of him] Man, is it good to see you here!

[kinships]

[He reached up and took one of the hands patting the air space, so absolutely relieved to see another of his friends safe.]

Are you hurt?

[undying_heroism]

Nah, don't worry about it.

What about you?

[kinships]

No, we're not hurt.

What's happening out there?

[undying_heroism]

Zombies! Zombies everywhere!

I mean, this would be totally awesome if this were a simulation but as is. .

God. I hope everyone else is going to be alright.

[checking the gun, looking back up] I think I'll head up to see if anyone needs help.

[kinships]

[Zombies? This has to be a joke, doesn't it? He can't... believe this, it's all too much to take in.]

No! Don't go back out there, you could get hurt.

[undying_heroism]

[shakes head] So could everyone else.

What if there are those who don't have guns or means to protect themselves? They'll be eaten alive, Cain, and I can't let that happen. Not while I've still got breath in me.

[kinships]

And if all you do is get yourself killed?

Adding more violence into the fray is not the answer, please!

[undying_heroism]

I'll only attack them if I have to--I just want to make sure everyone else is safe, too. A hero can't just run and hide at a time like this. He doesn't deserve that title if he does!

[kinships]

Alfred...

[He doesn't have the right to tell him to stay, he's just a friend and still not one that knows him very well. But he can't agree with this, it's senseless and dangerous.]

...Please be careful.

[undying_heroism]

[He takes down a back-up gun as well as extra ammo. After securing the gun in his hand he pats Cain's shoulder as a comforting gesture.]

C'mon. Aren't I always?

[Leave it to him to joke to try to lighten the mood.

He gives him a nod before turning and climbing back up, the trap door shut securely signaling the finality of his exit.]

[kinships]

[He will be SO ANGRY if America goes and gets himself killed :|

Guess it's back to waiting in the dark.]
