The Last of Us

[kitcat]

The handsome purple haired man came across as so mature; cool, collected and mature and all that. And, what he said was so against the image it left V. Flower blinking. 

It would seem Mr. Pretentious (her new nickname for the teen in front of her) was as surprised as her if his confused "Er, yeah" was anything to go by. 


"That's what you say...?" She asked, aware she sounded pretty sassy.

Flower stumbled backwards and glared at the teen. He hadn't even realized she had followed him! The two of them seemed to be at each other's throats all the time. 

She was surprised by his response. And the sickly sweet voice. She was taken aback by his response, and she considered stepping down. 

But, V. Flower never backed down. She crossed her arms and quirked an eyebrow. 

"Yeah. Which part? The part about you being nicer to him because he was a boy and I'm a girl, or the part where that makes you a sexist pig?" She asked, responding in kind with her own sweet tone. Two could play that game! Mr. Pretentious was getting on her nerves... and Mr. Cool and Collected could wait!


((Sorry Mokachan for like ignoring Gakupo... ^^)

((omg the conflict between mikuo and v.flower amuses me so much LOL))

Shit, he was so done with this.

He was done with the fucking apocalypse. He was done with the goddamn zombies.

He was especially done with this sassy bi-

Mikuo clicked his tongue in annoyance, continuing to stare down at the she-demon. 

"Sexist? Sexist?! In what way? We haven't even properly met! You don't know shit about me, frankly. I'd appreciate it if you kept your mouth shut." 

He was definitely annoyed now. The stubbornness this girl gave off was too exhausting. Before turning his attention back to the purple haired man, however, he stared coldly at her.


"And, just a comment, if your priorities are under the fact that I was a little rude to you,, then you shouldn't even be alive at this point."

He cursed mentally. That might've crossed the line...

((omg Flower and Mikuo are perfect tho. And no apologies--it's very fitting this way))

"Oh, um..." Gakupo said again, clearly doing a great job displaying his vocabulary. The cigarette-addicted boy and the bomb-victim girl were most definitely not in the best of moods. Either that, or they were created with the least matching personalities to ever have been made in the history of the earth.

When the male glared at the girl and turned his attention back on the dumbfounded samurai, Gakupo was sure the conversation was finding its close and it would be time to explain himself. As he tried formulate a good explanation, however, the boy spoke again, in rather a matter-of-fact tone, aimed at his...er, fellow survivor. (allies wasn't even a possible word yet)

"And, just a comment, if your priorities are under the fact that I was a little rude to you, then you shouldn't even be alive at this point."

Oh, whoa. That was not a concluding statement. Maybe, it was a bad time to interject at this point. But then again, maybe it was best to say something before things got out of hand. The only 'weapon' he had to slice down this darkening atmosphere was a change in subject.

"Um, excuse me, the both of you. My apologies for interrupting, but nightfall is arriving soon and I recommend you find a good shelter safe from the..." Zombies. He didn't need to say it, but basically the creatures that only existed in horror films.

There was absolutely no offense meant for the couple (Of people, of course. Although they DID argue like a married couple.), but all the bickering would prove to be a nuisance later on. It would be best to move on. It was always nice to see a survivor in the horrid wasteland of moving corpses with a taste for blood.

"I truly am sorry for any trouble caused. Take care." He bowed once and turned to leave, only to find that in the maze of cars, he would either find a pathway back from whence he came, or have to push past the teenage duo. There was another way around, but that meant taking a slightly longer path around the car all while in the sight of the others, bringing about an even more awkward situation than the latter choice from before. Well, then...

Gakupo had only one choice. (Although looking back on it, he had every choice but this one.) Keeping his left hand on the scabbard of his katana, he firmly planted his right hand on the car in his way, and hopped over the front bumper. It should have been simple as that.

But, it wasn't quite. Gakupo's right foot made contact with the zombie head from earlier, and the horror of stepping on such a gross object mixed with the surprise of not feeling flat concrete sent the man pitching forward before hurriedly placing his left foot out and catching his balance once more. Of course, this action could not have been completed with his arms involuntarily whipping out to try and save himself.

Please, he thought to himself, priorities replaced with embarrassment, please be not watching me right now.


((SORRY i get so carried away with this that i make long posts of pOINTLESS RAMBLING...))

[kitcat]

((it is perfectly alright!! XD What a post! XDD, and Mikuo, I totally agree!! XD))


Shrugging, V. Flower looked him over nonchalantly.

"Well, that wasn't exactly the best way to introduce yourself to a lady, now was it?" She remarked, some part of her brain, the small part that was still functioning, warning her to stop, but her pride wasn't letting her. If she stopped now, she knew she would do something embarrassing like break down in tears or run away or something.

V. Flower flinched, visibly, at his comment. She knew she deserved it. She really did. But, it still hurt to be told that, essentially she shouldn't even be alive. She felt her bottom lip trembling, but she tried her best to ignore it and tried to stare straight ahead and let it wash over her.

She opened her mouth, doing her best to let no emotion show, but Mr. Handsome was talking, and she let her words die on her lips. She stared sullenly at the ground. She nodded her head to his farewell, and lifted her head.

“I’ll be leaving too” She said, her voice stiff and formal.

“And, you’re right, I probably should be dead, but so should you, and that man over there... But whatever" She said, trying to let it roll off. She turned on her heel, ready to storm off, when she paused. Shaking her head, she set off again. It took her a few steps and then she turned again. She turned to yell something at the teen, but caught Mr. Handsome stumbling and nearly face planting. She stood there blinking. For such a graceful looking man, he really wasn’t all that graceful…

(( hONESTLY IDEK WHAT TO DO BC MIKUO FUCKED UP SO BADLY & V.FLOWER IS SO STUBBORN & gakupo waht r u doin this is the apocalypse

pls bear with me for this particular post ok OTL ))

Mikuo watched as the two walked (and tripped) away, growing a bit more anxious by the second.

That was the first time in days he had encountered people, and it had been even longer since he had met people who weren't a threat.

"Hey, wait," Mikuo said, raising his hands in the universal surrender position. "We're all in the same sort of situation, so I think that it's better if we at least stick together..."
Mikuo had always thought that people were safer in groups, so for two potential allies to walk off hr might as well pronounce himself few dead.

[mokachahanrp]

((MIKUO YOU SAVED US. IF YOU DIDN'T STOP THEM I WAS GONNA BRING IN A HORDE TO FORCE THEM TOGETHER AHHAHAHAHA

also short posts are fine in my opinion anyways, as long as the content is something one can reply to easily))

Gakupo paused and turned to his head to look at the boy. His angry, standoffish demeanor seemed to have shifted slightly, revealing something else. The boys had his hands raised and Gakupo wasn't sure if there was a bit of pleading in his eyes.

It was rude to leave the boy alone, and for some reason, Gakupo felt inclined to accept the invitation to join a group. Or at least remain together for the time being until their objectives were reached.

"You may be right," Gakupo finally agreed. Besides, if the tobacco-scented teenager and the torn-clothed teenager ended up teaming up, their tendency to be at each other's throats would hamper them and they wouldn't make it very far with that sort of relationship. He would feel a little bad worrying what happened to such young people if he left them behind.

Gakupo hopped over the hood of the car again, this time careful to check for any debris underfoot, and bowed toward the boy. "I'll fight with you." He still didn't know his new ally's name. "My name is Kamui Gakupo. May I ask for yours?"

[初音ミクオ☆彡]

Mikuo blinked as the purple-haired man walked towards him. Relief flooded through his veins knowing he would no longer be alone, but he worried for the white-haired girl, who was continuing to leave the area.

When the purple haired man introduced himself, he stuck his hand out to shake his hand.

"I'm Hatsune Mikuo."

These words felt foreign on his tongue. It had been a while since had said something so...normal.

It was too normal that it felt abnormal, ironically.

Mikuo took another glance at the girl who was leaving and felt another stab of guilt. She wasn't much older than Miku, Mikuo guessed. To think about a girl so young on her own wasn't too bad, but it was painful to imagine how she felt mentally.

"Do you think it would be a good idea to, you know, take her as well...?"

He could learn to get along with her, Mikuo convinced himself. Now all he had to do was see what Gakupo had to say.

[mokachahanrp]

Gakupo smiled and shook Mikuo's hand. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest as he noticed just how young Mikuo looked. The world had absolutely changed, and everyday was fraught with danger. Whether or not the entire world or just the area had been affected was something that Gakupo did not know, but the city or possibly entire country could be changed permanently.

As Mikuo took a glance at the girl from earlier, so did Gakupo. The reason he chose to stay with Mikuo was to avoid the guilt of possibly letting a teenager die. Hopefully this girl could stay safe too.

"Excuse me," he called, "A lady shouldn't walk around alone at night. Especially in these conditions. Won't you join us?"

It was getting late; they had better move on soon.

((OKAY TIME TO SAVE RIN))

A swift movement and quick swish quickly severed several undead limbs. Yuuma snatched up the young girl's hand and hoisted her over his shoulder (not very dignified, no) before racing away. He unceremoniously tossed the poor girl over a fence to a boarded house (his current safe house) and clambered after her.

"You," he spoke softly, adjusting the black toque sitting on his head. "...bites..?" Without even asking he began to examine the blonde girl's arms and legs. He needed to work on his manners.

[kitcat]

V. Flower looked back, having missed most of the conversation, being too far away to hear it. She stops when she hears Mr. Handsome call out to her. She bites her lip and blinks. He has her hook line and sinker with the lady. Who wouldn't want to be called a lady by someone so attractive!? She took a few more seconds to think it over, hesitant, but she caves pretty easily.

Turning on her heel, Flower retraces her steps.

"I guess I could join you..." She mumbled, holding the hem of her skirt and looking at her shoes. She huffed a sigh and looked up, planning to retort something at the teal haired teen, but it died on her lips. He still had a somewhat softer look to his face, a relieved look. V. Flower looked down again.

"I'm V.Flower...nice to meet you" She said, extending her hand. She wasn't sure if she was ashamed of her earlier behavior or embarrassed in general

((Haha! XD))



Rin let out a rather undignified shriek when she felt someone grab her hand and hoist her off the ground.

“Let go of me!! This isn’t fair!!!” She screamed, flailing around. Was she being taken away to be eaten by some strange survivor?! She only knew there were human by their speed and dexterity.

As she flew over the fence, she briefly wondered if this was the end. And then, just like that, she was sitting on the ground again. She found herself staring into a pair of yellow eyes. His question shocked her, and her only comment she could stutter out was an uhhh” before he started examining her arms and legs.

Rin felt herself blushing and she swatted his hands away.

“What are you doing?!” She yelled at him, backing up and glaring at her strange pink haired companion.

(( I ship Yuuma and Rin so much I can't omfg ))

Mikuo looked at the troublesome girl, who had eventually made her way back to the two. As she extended her hand and introduced herself, Mikuo couldn't help but do the same.

"I'm Hatsune Mikuo, it's....nice to meet you."

It really did feel better for the two to finally get to be introduced to each other on a more humane level. As he shook her hand, he couldn't help but feel a little bit more human.

"Well, you guys, it's getting sort of dark... It would be best to find some sort of shelter before it's too late..."
