Rabid

[Blaiiine]

"We need people. Even if we don't know them," Blaine replied quietly, starting the truck. He checked the radio,which was a waste of time. At that point, it was pure static. Stepping on the gas, they made their way to the robotics shed.


Tyler lit a cigarette and listened to the two, while watching the road.

Holly sighed, "Yeah yeah. I guess we do."

[Blue Fox]

"Pleasure to meet you," came Alan's reply. He lowered his voice. "What about -ahem- the bear? What's got him so uptight? And the shepherd? He not talk much?"

He didn't want to confront them directly about it. Kai seemed to be his best bet at learning a few things without offending anyone - as at least half of the group looked like they would just as well kill him as they would a stray Rabid.

He thumbed over the heavy pipe he still carried, trying to occupy his hands.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Blaine? Not sure. Tyler? Nah, just... Dunno." She put the knife away.

[Blue Fox]

Alan blinked and sighed quietly at Kai's response.

"So they're strangers to you, too..." He gazed blankly at the road ahead.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Nah, I know 'em all right." She said grudgingly. She looked out the window. "Hey Blaine. Should be here."

[Blaiiine]

Blaine stopped in front of the building, taking a moment before hopping out. "This place looks like craaaap," He said, pointing the bat at the almost dilapidated structure.


Tyler climbed out and took the pistol from his waistline, checking the safety. "Sorry about him," He said to Alan, gesturing sneakily to Blaine. "He's just...adjusting. Just give him a bit to warm up."

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly hopped out, slightly [CONTENT REMOVED] less  than before. Kai stepped out the back, pulling her knife back out. "Oh don't worry, it's slightly better inside."

[Blue Fox]

Alan lept from the truck bed, making it squeak on its suspension

"That makes two of us," he grumbled to Tyler. Albeit, he wasn't just talking about his uncertain relationship with Blaine, but also the entire fiasco with the Rabids.

Alan readied his pipe and scanned the area.

"Behind the shed!"

He could barely make out a hunched figure, twitching sporadically. It faced away from the group and didn't seem to know they were there, but it moved now like it had heard something. Then, a set of eyes flashed from that same direction.

"There's two of them," he observed thoughtfully. "So they don't attack each other?"

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly and Kai acted together, nodding to each other they dashed forwards butting the hilt against the thing's head to disorient it and then slice through it's neck. Holly and Kai stepped back and began walking towards the group as a third one ran at Kai, silent. It slammed into her and knocked her to the ground. It was clawing at her but her hoodie kept her safe for a few more seconds. "Scheisse!" Holly and Kai both shouted as holly tried to get the rabid off of Kai without hurting Kai.

[Blue Fox]

Alan acted purely on instinct. He rushed up behind the Rabid and bashed him in the ear with his pipe, throwing the creature off. But it only seemed to piss it off even more. It snarled and foamed at the mouth, then lept at Alan, trying to bring him to the ground. He pushed the end of the pipe at the thing's throat, making sure to keep its snapping maw clear of his face.

"Little help!!"

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai rolled and cut through the things ankles, dropping it. It crawled towards her, angry but Holly drove her knife through it's neck. "Die! Die! Die! Dummkopf!"

[Blue Fox]

Alan sighed a breath of relief when the Rabid went still.

"Thanks. Man, you both really know how to tagteam them. That's impressive!"

He picked up a stray oily rag and wiped clean his pipe as he approached the shed. He passed by cluttered benches and barrels full of metal scraps as he drew nearer to the door. He reached for the handle only to find that the door was already ajar, letting a narrow stream of light slip out from the inside.

"It's open," he reported over his shoulder.

He didn't dare try to push it open any further - not without everyone else being ready. Afterall, who knew what could be behind the door?...

[Blaiiine]

Blaine kicked the door in, walking in. An infected vulpine sat by the door, Blaine took the bat to it and crushed it's skull. "That takes care of that." He said, waving in the rest of the group.


Tyler walked in first, taking to the hallway entrance. He checked around the corner and then turned back to the others. "It looks clear, better be cautious."

[Blue Fox]

"Cheesus," Alan shouted, "can't we be a little more subtle??" He scratched his chin. "What if David was sitting on the other side of this door with a gun??" He argued, stepping through the doorway.
