The Animus

[Entaru]

"Not too far.  The train station is located about a mile out of town.  By the time anything there realizes what we're doing, we'll be long gone."  Nero turned his head only slightly to answer Kitt.  His eyes never left the skyscrapers.

Gavin noticed Kitt's tension whilst he was walking backwards in a humorous manner. Unlike Kitt, he wasn't bothering to look around, wasn't bothering to keep a good grip on his weapon, wasn't bothering to keep an even walking pace....in other words, the idiot of the lot. But to Gavin, this idiocy was to be enjoyed and relished, not condemned. After all, if the world was coming to a slow 'end'....everyone should try to enjoy themselves the best they could, taking encounters as they happened and not otherwise....

"Kitt...." the monkey called gently..."You know you don't have to hold that gun so tight....ya hold it tight like that and it may just slip out of your hands for how much you're sweating...."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt let go of his AK briefly, it swung from his shoulder strap as he wiped his paws across his combat fatigues... he only marginally managed to disguise the fact that his paw was shaking ever so slightly before he returned his grip back to the weapon...
"Guess I'm just on edge.... eh?"
He swung around to face the direction of the rustle of dead leaves, only to see a magpie fly of screeching its cry... wiping his brow with a shaking paw he turned back to Nero as they carried on towards the city...
"Don't you think a train is gonna draw a lot of attention to us?... I realise its the only way we're gonna make it but..."
He sighed, boots crunching rhythmically over the dry soil..
"I dunno... just had a bad feeling ever since most the group left or died...."

[Entaru]

"Doesn't really matter if we attract attention.  If we can get the train moving they wont be able to catch us."  Nero finally tore his eyes away from the skyscraper and smiled.  "You know...many a wise man has said to trust your first instinct about a situation.   Unfortunately, they're all dead now.  What does that say about how wise they really are?  Ignore the doubt...it wont help you where we're heading."

Felix had managed to find a crutch of sorts and dragged himself along with the group. Every five steps, he stopped and sweep ed his rifle around, looking around for any threats.
"For the life of us kid, I hope your right" Felix muttered to Nero, before getting a grip on his crutch and moving onwards, stopping occasionally.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt watched as Felix dragged himself along, he would have at least tried to help him but they needed all the people with weapons ready.... following along with the rest of the group he listened to the constant crunch of boots on the dry, cracked earth.... he kept his gun level, or as level as he could keep it... and continued to walk through the wasteland towards a hope he wasnt even sure existed....

Taking pity at Felix's state, Tori contemplated a way to craft a makeshift wheelchair for him. Who knew, going into the city, there might be a wheel chair in a hospital. To add to that, the hospital was bound to have medicine left over, and penicillin would do some good for any wounds, not to mention some pain killers. Heck, she could pick up a defibrillator while she was at it; the device might save some lives.
"Are we going straight to the trainstation, or do ya think we could make a pit stop at a hospital?" Tori asked the hyena.

[Entaru]

"Hospital?  I don't know...that's actually in the city.  Do you really want to risk being seen?"  Nero looked at Tori hesistantly.  The hospital was near the center of the city...very out of the way.  Who knew what would see them on their way in and out.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt frowned, muttering under his breath.... he looked between Tori and Nero.... "We dont stand a chance if we get seen Tori.... Felix can't run and only two.... three, counting you, have guns...." He sighed, chewing on the dog end of a cigarette... "But it's up to you guys, I just dont like our chances alone like this..... though medical supplies would be usefull..." He shrugged, waiting to see what the group collectively decided.....

[Entaru]

"Well then, lets take a vote.  It'll be quicker than arguing and a lot quieter too."  Nero turned to each of the group in turn as they spoke their choice.

((Just say Hospital or Train to vote))

[Gabag]

"Train" Felix said.

As much as he wanted to walk, getting out alive was also a very very good idea.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt sighed, growling under his breath... "Train dammit... we needa get outta here... and i dont likek being so vulnerable..." he turned away from Nero, tapping one boot impatiently on the ground... medical supplies would have been good... but he had a bad feeling about going deep into a city with only three guns between them....

[Dtannings]

Tori bit her tongue as she weighed the choices. Thinking of the team she sighed, "...train. If we're lucky, maybe there'll be some supplies on it."

[DatFox Coleo]

"But then again... the hospital would be more likely to have medicines....."
