Thirteen [Audio/Action]

[brbpouncingyou]

...Mom?

[[There's the sound of someone's voice. Someone familiar if you know Allan/Hunter. But it's not quite the same. This person's voice sounds... healthier. Clearer. Lighter. Softer.]]

Mom? Dad? Where... where are you? You said we were all going to watch the news together. The government was warning us, right?

[[There's footsteps coming

Comments

[legberjack]

[Hey, neighbor. Shotasaw is patrolling these here streets, and he totally saw you run out while freaking out like a pansy, dude.]

Oi, you! You!! Stop for a second and listen, you bastard!

Did they take your family too, or something?! It doesn't matter where we are, but everyone important is missing, you know?! You gonna panic, or are you gonna man up, huh?!

[brbpouncingyou]

I don't know, I don't know!

[[He runs his fingers through his hair at rate which he might pull it out. He's obviously freaked to all hell.]]

The infection... the infection's going to spread, and then they'll die! How can I not worry, kid?

[legberjack]

What infection? The hell you talking about, huh?! There ain't no infection here, just these stupid squares that don't lead anywhere!! You know something I don't?!

[brbpouncingyou]

Wait, squares? What are you talking about?

[fanstheflame]

My mom and dad are gone, too... Don't be scared.

[brbpouncingyou]

I need to make sure they're safe. I need to make sure they get through this. I need to... I need to...

I need to get home.

[[WAIIIIIT A SECOND THAT VOICE IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE AS WELL.]]

...Is this your house?

[fanstheflame]

Nope, this isn't my house... Mine's a lot bigger and looks real different and my family is there, too.

I wanna go home, too. I miss my mom and dad and my big brother.

[brbpouncingyou]

Well, you're in the house, right? I'm upstairs, where are you?

[deflowers]

Mister~ What are you so worried about?

[Seven year old girl peering up at you.]

[brbpouncingyou]

They're going to get sick from that disease at home. I'm... I'm worried about them.

Uh. Who are you, little girl?

[deflowers]

What disease? Like an epi-mer-demic?

I'm Minatsuki-chan. [giggle]

[brbpouncingyou]

Yeah, like an epidemic.

Minatsuki, huh? I'm... Allan, I think. Or Michael. I don't actually remember.

[thebestnation]

You can't find anyone either?

[brbpouncingyou]

I've... found kids, but no adults. No parents, either. Who are you?

[thebestnation]

Y-Yea...Bri-tan's gone missing...

I'm Meriken. Who're you?

[brbpouncingyou]

Bri-tan.... Britain? Well, I think we're in America right now, so I guess you wouldn't see Britain anywhere.

I'm Allan. At least... I think so. Everyone else is calling me that for now. Nice to meet you, Meriken. I'm guessing you're lost as well?

[miss_enma_ai]

[Have a small frightened five year old running down the street.]

Sentarou! Sentarou! Sentarou where are you?

[Feel free to stop her.]

[brbpouncingyou]

H-hey, kid!

[[And he runs after her, faster than he realizes.]]

Be careful!

[miss_enma_ai]

[Squeeks and runs faster. People chasing her tended to be mean]

Leave me alone! I didn't do anything!

[brbpouncingyou]

H-hey wait! I don't mean to hurt you!

[[Allan slows down. He probably does look a little scary.]]
