[ Day 2 : Evening : Closed to deathkwondohair and heartmaestro ]

[ Touma was running around on his trashed bicycle to all the addresses he knew, but it seems most of where he had a chance to visit the places were cleared out or crawling with cannibals. He hoped that meant that people were safe and not... otherwise. But with the town being so large, he couldn't spare the

[There is an almost-inaudible sound of humanlike whimpering coming from the wreckage of the house beyond the car. A flash of purple goes by in the background, but unless he investigates, he could just pass it off as the wind, and stress.]

[Having recently been self-appointed the city guard, Tatsuki has been busy today. Between fighting cannibals and stealing their supplies, she's had little downtime. A shotgun strapped to her back and a fireaxe in her hands, she marches the streets of what was once Mayfield fueled by carbohydrates and gumption alone. Blood stains her ragged clothes, and none of it seems to be hers.

She stops in front of Touma, calmly resting the axe on her shoulders, not noticing their company. In time, she will come to regret that failure in observation.]

[prideinbattle]

[She's managed to avoid the flesh-eating mutants and hopes to keep it that way. Following his gaze, she relaxes when she sees no threats.] I'm not alone. There's one other.

[so_misfortunate]

Oh? [ Looking around. ] Where are they?
