(( Well its true. XD At least what I know of offices. XD And it should of been "wouldn't" not would. in my last post for Braden. XD))

Tsukuyomi
The girl was slowly going at making the dough taking out some of her aggression at it. Pushing it, pulling it, and punching it a few to many times. At which she looked slightly over her shoulder to see some of the costumers looking at her strangely as which she promptly smiled and when back to work only to notice one of her co-workers that she didn't really know well coming towards her.

"Morning, I'm Tsukuyomi." She said looking over at him while her hands were shaping the dough, even though the shapes were looking like mangled figures instead of either hearts or the spiral buns. "With a lot of patience and trying not the get in trouble with the boss man." She replied to his sigh as she watched him sigh and even she could hear the old man's shout, or so the volume lead her to believe, along with calling him "son" then to watch him go take him his coffee. Once he had gone off did her gaze look back at the dough and realizing it's misshapen shape. "Looks like I'll have to fix this before..." She muttered as she started reshaping the dough into the right shapes this time.

Braden
The guy had sighed mentally to himself, as from where he was he could overhear the water cooler conversation. With the look on his face that said it all, it was about football. One human sport he couldn't wrap his head or feathers around. It was just a game where a human could carry the ball but couldn't have it hit the ground or else it would be something like a end game. Or so it appeared to him. He mentally face palmed to himself, hoping for something anything that would get him away from that.

He looked back when he felt someone gently grabbing his arm, while he mentally rejoiced for the interruption. What he looked back to see was woman with brown hair who had grabbed his arm, she had a polite smile on her face, though she seemed different from the rest of the people in the office. "Ah, sure." He said noticing some of the looks from the guys around the water cooler as their conversation had halted. "I have copies with the figures..." He said, lying somewhat, trying to make sure those guys didn't get too curious. "Let's go this way..." He said motioning away from the water cooler in hopes that she caught the idea.

The girl sighed, yawning even so slightly. Mostly not want the military to find her, ever. "We'll protect you... blah... de... blah de blah..." She mocked by herself, as how the military was when they brought her and her mother into their protection. "So much their protection did for her..." She growled to herself as her gaze shot to the ceiling, at one point in her ranting she pushed herself up from the make shift bed and walked over the the stuck knifes taking one from the table.

"They say they are "Here to protect us" and when we're in danger they hang us out to dry to save their own hides!" She growled mostly to herself as she launched the knife at one of the standing dummy's and sticking right in the chest. She sighed, as she walked over at took the knife out of the dummy. "I guess I should find a way out of here..." She muttered to herself as she walked back to the table and took the rest of the knifes and wrapped them in scarps of the dummy stuffing from her bed, then running over to the far right wall grabbing an old patched up duffle bag and placed the knifes in them, with the gun, along with the lasts of a medical kit and scarps of food as well. "This place was nice, though I've got to move on." She said heading back to the open elevator shaft and sent the latter back down with a light bump on the elevator's top. "Here I go..." She said to herself as she slung the duffle bag over her shoulder and started down the latter.

The guy gazed out the windows of the auto shop, noticing the military soldiers had past by without even looking inside the auto shop. He breathed a sigh of relief as he sneaked through the shop, stepping over broke glass and fallen shelves and headed towards the door on the other side of the shop. Only once he had gotten outside did he breath a little easier.

"Guess I'm closer to the wall then I though..." He said to himself looking at the gun on his hip, with a few clips in the backpack of his. Along with some stole explosives like C4 and three sticks of dynamite. "Well, guess I could scout around the wall." He said, once again talking to himself, which he was glad there weren't any clickers around as of current. At which point he started out of the little alley way that he come out at and started in the direction of the wall, not with the intent of going inside that was for sure. Though pulling his gun out of its holster just in case.

She shrugged in reply the the girl's comment, riding interesting how the girl's wing vanished with ease. Even though her right hand gripped on the her's claymore's scabbard, as the sound of rustling leaves that had morphed into screams, yells, and metal clashing. Knowing already that wasn't a good sound at all. She pressed herself back towards the trunk to blend into the shadows by the trunk and lifting her scabbard so it wouldn't make a sound. Even noticing the other girl launching herself into the tree next to her own, then to climb a little high into the tree as the soldier burst through the bushes.

Her amber eyes locked on the soldier, clearly looking like he had just come from the battlefield. With the marks and dents in his armor to prove it. She couldn't help wondering if this soldier had just happened to come here, or if he stumbled across this area. Her eyebrows furred slightly, as some of the project creators from her kingdom knew that she liked the forest route for cover and advantages it provided. Though she stayed quiet anyways and holding as still as she could as well.

After a few moments of walking did he stop of a moment, adjusting the scabbard on his belt. Yet that wasn't all he heard. Footsteps easily reaching his ears, which sounded like he was walking away form him along with being ahead of him. He still had his blade on him though he didn't know how the other footsteps belonged too or with or not who-ever it was indeed dangerous. Though under his cloak he moved his hand and slowly moved it up to the hilt of the blade, ready to draw it if trouble came up. Though he continued walking anyways, wondering if he would meet this other person with the footsteps soon.

Her eyes watched the tow soldiers clash their swords several times, though out of the corner of her eye she did manage to notice the other girl, quietly moving over to another tree. While idea seemed like a good one, getting out with out being seen. Though if the battlefield had moved this far in this direction, well it made it seem like avoiding the battle, or a little one like this one, would be unavoidable. Or so it seemed to her. Her amber eyes scanned over the soldiers looking for either kingdom's markings, though not finding hide or tail on either of them.

"Well, either kill or be killed I guess..." She thought to herself as her hand holding the claymore's scabbard gently let go and shifted up to the hilt, gripping it tightly ready to draw the blade. While her feet press towards the trunk of the tree, read to launch her when she wanted too. Giving them one more look over, deciding the neck was target zone with almost no armor there, and besides that she could feel the plague magic boiling underneath her skin wanting to be released. "Probably she's going think I'm an idiot after this..." She thought once again, remembering the other girl that was there. Though that thought vanished as quickly as it came, as she as quietly as possible drew the claymore form it's scabbard. With the blade plainly in hand, and the soldiers still preoccupied with each other, did she take to moment and launched herself out of the tree having her blade slice through the closest soldier's neck, causing him to fall to the ground.

The other soldier, surprised by the event, still managed to take control of his sword and clash it against her claymore. "In the name of the..." The soldier began to say, though was briefly interrupted by a fury of claymore strikes.

"You soldiers and your battle cries..." She sighed, even though she was blocking some of his slashes some managed to nick on her on right arm and left leg. "Clearly no body thought that one through... As it's very unoriginal..." She muttered still going round after round of sword play with the soldier, while mentally fighting the urge to use her magic on him. Though with one close quarter's clash, with her face almost a matter of inches away from his, the urge to use the plague magic was too strong. "I would say it was nice fighting you..." She began to say as with one swift movement out of the clash did she gently run her index fingertip over the back of the soldier's neck. Once they were off in the stand off did his eyes bug out wide and he dropped to his knees. "Though it wasn't..." She finished as the soldier keeled over and it wasn't long before he looked like some old corpse instead of a fresh kill. While tussling with the soldier's she had forgotten about the other girl.

Alexander Marthen Manwell

While he though he was finally getting close to the owner of the footsteps he was hearing, it was somewhat short lived. As the sounds of more footsteps were out there, and a decent amount of them was heading his way. "Just my luck..." He thought to himself as with his tattered cloak he probably looked like some traveler asking to get robbed. Which was the exact though that crossed his mind as out of the bushes and shadows of the trees of the forest, came plenty of thugs. With clubs, what seemed to be stolen maces from either kingdom, along with old swords that hadn't been cleaned from their last "robbery".

"Alright, boys, looks like we've got another sheep-brained traveler." One of them said, probably the leader of this little band, as the he lifted the club up and over his shoulder. While the smirk on his dirty face seemed to explain everything. "You know what we do to travelers like you." He said stilling his face very close to Alexander's, so close he could smell his rotten fish breath that smelt like it could kill, to Alexander at least. "Boys, let's tell what we do to traveler."

"Steal their loot and kill um!" The chorus of shouts came the thugs that seemed to be surrounding him at that very moment. All of them seemed ready to jump in and pin him to the ground and make him into mincemeat.

"Just my luck... I brought a blade to a club fight..." He thought to himself as his hand under his cloak grabbed the hilt of his blade. Though in all honesty he was hoping from something or someone else to intervene as this was too many for him to take on my himself. With no magic and only a blade, he could take about half of them. But with all of them, he wasn't like his odds of survival.

(( This is going to be fun. As I had soo much fun writing both posts for this one. XD))

What seemed to be a somewhat now peaceful night, no clicker or runners just the annoying military causing him trouble tonight. Though never meant tomorrow night would be the same. "Probably going to be clicker, runners, or both tomorrow..." He said to himself as he keep walking among the wall's boarder, then wondering to himself where to go next. As he was already too close to the military's base for his liking. Maybe he'd go see how the survivor group, that he called "Runnerssassin" just to keep them straight in his mind, was doing. As he still had a few "bridges" that he hadn't burned there.

"Let's see they were..." He was once again talking to himself, though was cut over by the feeling of a knife pressed to his neck. Which was a new feeling for him, as most of the time he was welcomed with a gun to the face than a knife to the neck. Then hearing a voice from behind him, a female's voice if he had to guess. Guessing who-ever-it-was wasn't a runner, and due to being close to the wall probably came from inside the wall. "Where to? Anywhere the wind blows, as long as it inside the wall." He replied which was pretty honest, and he was kind of shocked by the honesty of his answer. "Anyways, where are you going at this time of night?" He asked turning the question back to whoever was holding him at knife point.

It took her some time to climb down from the third floor and step on the roof of the elevator car. Checking to make sure the duffle bag was still on her back. Which once she was sure it was did she open the hatch on the elevator, removing the bag form her over the shoulder position and dropped it through the hatch with a slight clang on the elevator's floor. Though before dropping herself down did she walk back over to the latter and shook it a few time until it came flopping down from detaching form it's hook on the third floor. Then taking the time to roll it up, as it could be of use latter from it's actually purpose or making traps.

Once she had it all rolled up did she, along with the latter, drop through the hatch into the elevator car with the duffle bag. She picked it up and slung it over her shoulder and then turned around, to see one guy (Michael) just standing and waiting there. She raised an eyebrow in question, as usually one of her traps would have gone off if it was a runner or a clicker. Though he probably wasn't either, well most likely a clicker at least. Though the sight of someone else in her place, or well it wasn't going to be her's for much longer, was different. "Well, never thought someone would stumble across this place." She said trying to make herself sound friendly at least. "Your not military, are you?" She asked first, and once hoping it wasn't a dummy she was talking to, like the ones with knife holes in them on the third floor.

Braden

He breathed a mental sigh of relief that she caught what he was saying, as the only other thing that got spread faster than football "scores" was in fact the rumors of two office workers getting together. Which at least with one comment it did seem more like a work related thing than anything else. Leading her, along with himself, away from the prying eyes to a place they could talk a little more freely. Yet, with security cameras it couldn't be very loud.

Once he hear her whisper, the first part, he got a little nervous. A human had gotten a hold of his secret, now his days would be numbered. Though after hearing the second part, that she wasn't either he relaxed. "Well, I was starting to believe I was the only one in the entire building." He whispered, loud enough for her to hear. "Along with saving me from another boring "football" conversation. Though I doubt that's why you pulled me aside." He whispered, once again trying not to raise his voice so it wouldn't show up on the security camera audio. "I'm guessing you need something."

Tsukuyomi

"Huh? You got to choose your shifts?" She questioned after finishing with the dough, a battle which she finally managed to win and was throwing them into the large oven. On a pan of course. "I always get stuck with the morning shifts... I only guess is because the boss man doesn't want me to get any sleep at all..." She sighed at that moment turning around from the oven to actually look at the guy co-worker she was talking to. The thought had crossed her mind of actually getting herself a cup of coffee, as clearly the boss wasn't around. "He's probably still sleeping the demonic fiend..." She thought to herself, as she was even thinking of taking a nap in one of the now empty booths.

"Indeed, you're is better than theirs." She said watching as the other girl caught the soldier that was running into their fight. Even though it seemed to end up like he had run into the other girl's curved blade. Well as long as it was quiet for the time being, even though the threat of more soldiers coming was always a possibility.

"Impressive, says the girl who's got wings." She said with a rare smile on her face, which no one back in her kingdom ever got to see. Well almost no one. "That's even more impressive." She followed up afterwards, finding it interesting someone actually though her magic was impressive, as the drawbacks weren't. "Well, Angel, it's a fitting name. I'm... Demon..." She said, even though if she had said her real name she wouldn't have really cared. And if anyone back in the project in her kingdom had found out she and just used "Demon" as a name, the would die laughing. Though she quickly shrugged it aside.

"I wouldn't be surprised, as none of these soldiers tend to die quietly." She replied with ease. "It's deeper into the forest then I guess. Unless you have a better idea."

Alexander Marthen Manwell

He was honestly surprised when someone else had come in, patting one of the thugs on the shoulder. Thinking that this guy must have been the footsteps he was going after, before the thugs decide to gang on him. Finding the guy's threat pretty straight forward and to the point, even though with these thugs and their brain size, finding it rather idiotic that they didn't leave. Though of course stupid thugs were always stupid thugs.

He was going to draw his blade at that moment, though notice whizzing through the air was seemed to be knives. Meaning that the other guy had beaten him to the punch, though only to notice a few moments later that the "knives" were large shards of ice whizzing around and killing some of the thugs, while the one that was charging the guy got a large sized piece of ice smashed on the head. Probably knocking him out for the while.

The show did manage to scare of some of the thugs, though clearly not all of them as one of them managed to grab Alexander from behind. "So you risk yourself to save this little sheep-brain, Then why don't I just take him out!" He scoffed as he was above to move from the hold and move his hands to Alexander's neck in hopes of snapping it. "Looks like I-" The thug scoffed once again though was cut short as he stepped back revealing the stab wound and the blade that had torn through the back of Alexander's cloak.

"Well, I must say. I wasn't expecting this little ambush." Alexander said pull the hood down and removing the blade out of his cloak and sliding it back into it's scabbard. "Let alone, having someone come to the rescue."

((Same here. XD))

"Safe Zone...?" He questioned finding the term unusual as in his mind no where was actually safe. "You mean the area around the Wall?" He asked, as that was the only thing he could think of. "Well, technically I was going to visit the Run-... I mean one of the survivor groups and some of the military decided to make me change my plans." He said catching himself on the naming of the groups thing before he showed that little part. "Field trip, eh. I didn't know of anyone inside the wall that wanted to be outside..." He said, catching the look at his hair probably full of dust and a spider web or two in it by now.

"So I guess we..." He started to say as the blinding light interrupted his words and the voice through the silence there after. Not really knowing who it was, though it sounded like the military stiffs that he had been running away from earlier. Then feeling the yank on his collar as the girl he had just met dragged him into the darkness among the pieces of the road sticking out of the ground. Hearing the all too familiar sound of bullets shooting past them, and staying there would mean soldiers would be on them in a matter of seconds.

"Well, we're going to need some distraction to get out of here..." He muttered looking over at the girl once his eyes had adjusted to the darkness. "Unless there's some other way out..."

"Okay, well that's good. Well somewhat. As I don't want to be found myself." She replied to his answer, seeming pleased with the answer anyways. Along with he probably wasn't guessing that a girl happened to be living in here. "As well, let's just say I have a good reason to hate the military..."

"Beside, I don't want to stick around here. Inside the military containment." She replied to his question. "Not when they can drop protection and run for the hills. So I want to head for outside the Wall and the safe zone. Probably be just as dangerous as in here." She said with a soft shrug to herself. "Anyways, so what's the military doing after you?" She asked, as she couldn't help being curious.

Braden

He knew pretty well what she meant "what's been going on lately". Remembering that one of his griffin brother had gotten outed and killed in a matter of twenty four hours. He listened patiently to her problem, seeing the problem in it. Along with being the last of her kind part, with his brother being caught a few weeks ago for all he knew he was the last among the griffins.

"Alright. I understand, don't really need to ultimatum." He said softly still conscious of the security camera's speakers. "Besides though of us magical creatures have to stick together to survive, right?" He said with an okay smile on his face. "So, where will you need to bite?"

((Do it! That will be hilarious!))

Tsukuyomi

"Lucky, main I just keep sneaking in a little late. He's only caught me once so far... So far. I'm not fired yet, key word being yet." She replied, as one look at any school in the area she would have been lying with that excuse. "Coffee, yeah, if it will help me keep my eyes open." She said with a slight laugh and smirk on her lips at that moment. "I guess I look that bad, then." With another laugh to herself as now she was leaning on the counter top.

"Lunch, maybe. Who knows. Though hopeful there isn't that big of a rush." She said after hearing his comment about the lunch crowd. Now serious taking into consideration sleeping in one of the empty booths.

Kait Iris Nexus - Demonic Avenger (Demon Lord)

"Oh, something tells me that if we had to fight a whole army. We could." She replied with a smirk present on her face. Then turning around to look deeper into the forest, according to rumors strange beast and things happened out here. Though taking a second thought over the rumors couldn't they just be guesses at what happen the night her father along with some thugs were found dead out here. She mentally shrugged off the idea as she looked over at Angel.

"Well, we better get going before any other soldier decide to come here and find us standing over some fallen soldiers." She suggested, already guess the outcome of that if it came true would be the whole army after them. "So then..." She said, leaving the sentence unfinished as she walked over the corpses of the soldiers and started to head deeper into the forest. Taking off at a fair enough speed, guessing Angel would be following eventually.

Alexander Marthen Manwell

"Well, personally, I am glad you were around. As I highly doubt with just myself and a sword could have taken all of them on." He said with a small smile on his face. Even though he could guess the other guy was giving him a look over, mostly with the old cloak with the armor underneath it that most soldiers couldn't afford full armor like his. Though then again his armor probably wasn't "sold" for regular soldiers. Then again he wasn't just some normal soldier.

Though he was about to say something, though the sounds of countless footsteps in their direction cut off the what he was going to say. "Sounds like the battlefield has moved in this direction..." He said guessing at what it could be. "Either that, or the fleeing thugs brought reinforcements." He finished his own sentence, guessing all to well that wither option it was neither was going to be peaceful and quiet like his travels on the road.

He stayed silent for a moment, stopping himself from making some comment about the cobwebs in his hair making that apparent that he hadn't been around here in quite a few years. Though he held back the urge to do it, knowing right now it wouldn't be the best idea. Though he didn't notice her take out a gun.

"Shooting them would be a waste of ammo. As there's still clicker, runners, and occasional bloaters out there. Save your ammo for them." He replied after a moment to think it over, remembering the last time he had run out of ammo because of the military encounter where he had shot at them. Then just happened to run into a group of runners, it wasn't fun in the least though he managed to get away with some quick thinking.

"Well, your going to have to trust me on this one." He said with ease, taking the bag off his back and digging through it pulling out the block of C4 with the detonator already in it and a remote to detonate it. Putting the bag down, and taking a deep breath did he step out from the shadow and launch the block in the direction of the blinding light. Only barely getting back into the shadow as the bullets whizzed past. Then with his had on the detonator and with one brisk motion of his thumb did he it the switch on it, and in a matter of seconds a fair sized explosion roared through the air pushing dust and dirt form the ground into the air creating a sort of smokescreen.

"Well, if we are going to get out of here we better be now. As this won't last forever." He said looking back at the girl, wondering if she would trust him or not. "As you can go back into your "Safe Zone" Wall utopia and our paths will probably never cross again. Or you can come with me and run. And I'll let you know, running with me isn't safe or easy. It's your choice with you come or stay, but one way or another I'm running."

"Well, it's dangerous enough in here as well." She said, deciding it was a good time to take a look at the floor to her left. "Anyways everything dangerous now-a-days." She sighed, lifting her gaze from the floor to look back at the guy this time around.

"Sounds like a unique occupation." She said with a rare smile on her face. "Well the military wants to kill you, and they already think I'm dead." She said even though she thought it over for a moment, maybe it wasn't the best thing to say. Though it was the first thing to come to her mind on the matter, so it came out as well.

"Yes it will be my first time outside, though if you meant with experience with runners and clickers I've already had my fair share of meeting them." She said, trying not to make herself sound like some burden he would just have to protect. As from his words he seemed to be offering to take her outside the wall. "Though I am interested in going outside."

Braden

"Ah... with those "guys" around the water cooler I could probably make up some excuse." He said with ease, even though knowing the excuse would have to be something well out there in his tastes. Yet one good slap mark would cover up the red marks form the bite. Wondering slightly to himself if he was one of the nicer magical creatures in the city, which might be. Remembering how many times some of the griffins would come to him to help, so it probably came from that.

"Alright, though hopeful he doesn't come back in the middle of it, as I doubt either of us could talk our way out of that." He said, while hoping more to himself that it would be true. "Well, let's just say I've helped out many strangers. Even though I didn't know whatever happened to them afterwards." He said in reply to her thanks. "Anyways, shall we head over to the printer room then."

Tsukuyomi

"True, not like I've met one either." She said taking a sip of her coffee afterwards, knowing full well with that comment she was lying through her teeth. Though relaxed for a moment when he went to help a customer, a lady.

While he was helping her, she did kind of let her thought wander. While her white hair and silver eyes were unusually enough, though not that some humans looked for that long to notice the silver eyes. Though with the waitress outfit and the horrible aprons around the place, just screaming to "let at me". While yes her hair was almost touching the floor, and with the bangs clipped back. Though more than that she was worried about the light blue crystal like demonic tail of her, along with the light blue horns as well. Because the two of them took a decent amount of concentration to keep them "in". Though with that concentration to break, due to something that she didn't expect happening to her, and both the horns and the tail would come out. Which is why she was hoping for a non-busy shift, as during a busy shift she almost had her concentration break and had the tail and horns come out. One thing she wasn't looking forward to doing again.

After hearing the girl repeat one of the things he had said, made him start to think that she was going to come with him. Though what could he say for sure about this girl, as clearly she had been inside the wall for maybe a good portion of her life and was only coming out on these little "field trips" as she called them. Guessing with ease that she could slip back inside the wall, back to the cosy little deathtrap there.

His eyes seemed to lighten just a little, and as a smirk appeared on his face with her answer. "Alright, so now we run." He said, with some edge of certainty that she could easily follow him, as he started off into the explosion created smokescreen. Which has used the last of his C4, though he could maybe find some more or even make some as he had learned how over the years. Though as he ran, he looked back to make sure the girl was following along behind him and pointed ahead of him, hoping she would get the idea to keep running in that direction.

"Well as much as the military doesn't like to admit it, the Infected are already inside the wall." She said shifting slightly on her feet, remembering the two clicker she had found looking into her little hidden escape exit, then the runner that happened to stumble across after she and shot the two clickers. "And yeah, I don't know what's out there. Though sitting here and waiting from some clicker or runner to kill me or become infected myself, isn't really something I would like to do."

"So, if I can come with you. I'd really like that." She said in reply to his offer, as she adjusted the duffle bag strap over her shoulder.

With a decent speed, though dodging the trees as she went along wasn't too difficult. Let alone difficult at all. Even though she knew of the forest, she didn't know much beyond that area. Though the forest itself had enough stories about it.

"Like the tales of witches living out here, the tales that some beast out here is eating all that enter, or tales about the poisoned mist that comes out on the night of a full moon side to be alive?" She asked hearing Angel's voice, knowing well that she would easily catch up to her. "Or the many other tales that have involved people dying out here, in strange and mysterious ways."

"For all we know, these tales could be true." She said with a shrug as she continued running. "Though either way, through the forest then to somewhere else I guess..." She said though the thought kept rolling through her head. "Well, this is probably going to brand me as a traitor now isn't it?"

Alexander Marthen Manwell

"Maybe, though without getting any injuries myself, probably not." He said in reply to the other guy's comment. "Well for myself, to excel in anything magical it beyond my reach." He said, concealing the chuckle in his throat though being one of the rougher spots to talk about. Being put into a project that makes magical warriors, and only making the warrior cut of it and having not much if any of the magical. Though maybe because he was always training with a sword, and never could get anyone to help him with his magical training.

"Thugs and now Soldiers... what's next?" He muttered mostly to himself at first to came back around to the more important side of the conversation. "Yes, as I doubt they'd listen to a word we have to say. Along with probably try to kill us then ask the questions later." He said turning around to where the other guy and taken a few steps. "Deeper into the forest it is then." He said taking off in that direction.

Braden

"Who knows, maybe they haven't had enough water. Or just find it the easiest place to spread gossip." He said with a shrug, as he couldn't really get why they did it as well. Then again, how could he really get it because he wasn't really human.

He listened to what she had to say, about no lock being on the door and if the guy came back would be the only problem. And when she began walking back did he follow a few paces behind her. Coming back into the view of the office and he watched as she began searching among the papers she had, that looked like the same piles on his desk though maybe not with the same writing on them. Though as she was looking he was looking around the office, some humans were actually "working" to a sense of the word. Though he was noticing how some, if not the rest of them, where glancing in their direction. Guessing the rumors might have gotten a head start.

He looked back over when she began talking after finding the papers she needed, also mental noting how the other girls in the office were looking at them. Guessing it wasn't because of the papers in her hands or on her desk. Though he brushed it aside as she lead him towards the door that was barely visible among the numerous boxes of papers, the printing room.

Tsukuyomi

"Yeah, the video game kind. They don't really ever get a chance to talk, which is quite a same. As it would be interesting to know what a zombie would say." She said still hiding that little fact for herself, as a normal human would freak out if she said she had met a few zombies and survived. Then again it was kind of difficult to tell who was human and who was a magical creature in disguise, and she wasn't really the type to "out" magical creatures so that led to the "never ask, and never tell" motto with it.

"Well, their people who want their coffee. I doubt they every give it a second thought if they smash someone's feelings or bash someone's nerves in the process." She sighed in reply as she had a few of those kind, and she was in the back when the business woman had made the girl cry. They just because she was in the back, the same girl came and, in a word, ranted the problem to her afterwards. With him cleaning the counter and the bread still with a few minutes in the oven, there seemed almost nothing left to do. With the place being empty for the time being.

((Hmm, well one steaming hot coffee spill on Tsukuyomi will get her revealed. So busy work shift? Or sudden rush of customers? That way there a crowd for the reveals. Then how to get John revealed...))

While running through smoke and dust smokescreens was really something he wanted to do ever, was once again something he was doing. Though he was glad the girl was keeping up with him with ease, then realizing that he didn't know her name and she didn't know his. "Well... if we get somewhere safe alive we'll probably have to remedy that." He thought to himself as he continued running trying not the breath in too much with the dust and smoke. Though in a matter of time the smoke started to dissipate little then sky show through along with some of the nearby buildings, noting the same auto shop he had hid in earlier to avoid the military's soldiers.

"Okay." He said loud enough for the girl to hear. "We've gotten some distance away from the wall, just a few more feet and we will be out of the military patrolled area." He said glancing over his shoulder to look at the girl. "Once out of the patrolled areas we should be able to rest for a bit, as anywhere in the area we could be found by the military. Oh, the name's Darkausi by the way."

"Okay, Michael. I'm Noire." She said introducing herself after his happy introduction, guessing he had been on his own for a while at least maybe even longer. He looked very capable of himself, probably from being outside the walls and always running from the military. Which was probably good, for her first time going outside the wall anyways. And as long as he didn't think she wasn't capable of taking care of herself, then everything would go well.

"Very sure." She replied shifting the duffle bag on her shoulder. As it was things she could find that the military had over looked, mostly knives and a single gun that was running out of ammo. Though ammo was takable, well as long as the military didn't shot her death after taking it. "Anyways going across the city and meaning a survivor group sounds like fun. And I think I've been hiding from the military long enough." She said with a smile almost a smile on her face, even though it wasn't saying much as she and Michael had only just met. Though after some time and traveling together that would probably change.

"Well, witches and other creatures might be a little more challenging than soldiers or thugs." She replied to Angel's comment, even though without looking at her with the smirk on her face. Maybe being a traitor to her kingdom's royal family wasn't just a bad thing, as they never really cared about her or did anything for her. Let along they never seemed that interested in the project, only making money of the citizens of their kingdom. Mostly staying silent in thought, along with trying to watch were she was going. As tripping over something today could be one fatal mistake, fatal being the main key word.

Though the thought of being a traitor did seem appealing, she couldn't help wondering what they would do in response. Send soldiers after her? Well that didn't end well for the soldiers that she had fought earlier. Send half trained warriors? That wasn't a good plan either, not knowing her magic was surely to bite them there. Send fully trained warriors? Well, that could work, if they had other fully trained warriors. Then again it probably wouldn't end well, for the other warriors. Though for now it was to keep running, then figure out a plan a little later.

He could only keep running, though making a side note that if they had the time and didn't die today that the other guy could teach him a bit of magic and he could help him out with sword play. As he was the only one in the project that couldn't use magic, and it was a project to make magical warriors. Though he would have to push that thought aside for the time being.

He could only calculate in his head other things, that were more relevant than his lack of magic. Like with their speed they would outrun the soldiers in a matter of minutes. Then after that, well that was quite unknown. As they could just keep on running, but it wouldn't do much good. Along with the fact that they possibly couldn't outrun the soldiers forever, along with every single time they encountered them. Though currently, they could outrun them and he wasn't really looking forward to dying anytime soon.

The girl kept quiet as she was wandering off in thought. Walking all night, now running as well, was suppose to be tiring. Though it really wasn't, or at least wasn't as much as she thought it would be. Then again, whatever pain from running for a day straight wouldn't show up until the day after all the running. Though this was funner than anything and everything back in the project. No rules about being to bed at a certain hour, no annoying trainers that would train her until the sleepless hours of the night, and no stuck up higher ups telling her what to and not to do. This was actually freedom.

"Probably they never though about that in the project..." She thought to herself as she was well raised in the project. Though no homey feeling for it ever grew for her. So it was almost a no brainer that she could abandon the project and leave if she wanted too. Though she had never thought about that until now.

"Alright..." She said hearing Angel's comment as she was exiting from her own thoughts. "Anyways, with all the rumors true or not I doubt they would come this far. And if they would we would hear them coming." She followed up on her own comment as she slowed to a stop, while personally hoping that the rumors were false though also hoping they were true at the same time. It was a conflicted feeling on the thought of the rumors for her. "Looking like we'll be camping out here..." She said wanting to add as the news has probably spread like wildfire that we're traitors now though she kept her mouth shut for that part.

Alexander Marthen Manwell

He skidded to a stop when he heard the other guy's voice say it was safe to walk. Then noticing the guy had shifted their direction towards their right, probably because of instead footing or because of something else. Though he wasn't about to question it, as they had managed to lose the soldiers and these woods weren't the safest for someone on their own.

"What do you mean by fight?" He questioned at first catching the guy's question. "Like fisticuffs, daggers, swords, or axes. As you already have the magic side down. Though if it's swordplay and blade work you're looking to learn, I might just be the right guy to ask. Why don't we make a deal? I'll help you learn how to fight with a blade, in return you could help me with the magical side. How does that sound?"

Braden

He couldn't help thinking about the select group of people that would be spreading rumors around the office, wondering if they just had a bone to pick with some of the people they started rumors on. Then again, he didn't want to be in their shoes. Living a life soo boring that spreading rumors and hurting people with words was the only sources of entertainment wasn't in any definition of the word of "fun".

He gently followed behind her into the printing room, spotting the short guy with the stack of papers in front of him. Couldn't help thinking that all the papers on their desks, stakes upon stacks, came from this guy. Also wondering if this guy was starting a paper army to take over the office in a matter of days, as it was working so far at least he thought so. He just watched as she started to spin her tale for the guy, playing along expression wise. Then watching as in a matter of seconds and with one smile she managed to get him to agree to a trip to the fifth floor.

"Wow, you made that seem like a piece of cake to do." He said only after she had closed to door.

Tsukuyomi

"I guess..." She said mostly quietly to herself, as the topic was getting a little too close to the area of "don't ask never tell" area for her. Along with she had no idea was else to say on that topic without blowing her own cover. Which wasn't something she wanted to do, most of all over the topic of zombies. Any other way she would be a little more fine with, even though she preferred not to have her cover blown at all.

"Too busy, or a little too blind along with deaf." She said rejoining the conversation at that moment. Being glad she had chosen against wearing heels today yet her feet with still killing her in her flats. Even though her creature outfit, or form, had heels with it that couldn't be changed, but at least there she could levitate herself around. Watching as John had gone to the back to make some more coffee, then hearing the sound of the oven doors opening meaning that he had gotten out the dough that was now baked through.

Her eyes raised as the sound of another customer coming into the cafe, and with John in the back she would have to take this one. "Welcome, what can I get you today?" She asked in a somewhat cheerful voice, even though she was forcing it. Then noticing that the customer she was addressing was one of those snotty up-tight business men from the office across the street. Already pushing the idea of any tip out of her head. She carefully took his order, as he wanted a latte, de caffe, though on the warm side. She briskly when to work on making him his de caffe latte, hoping she didn't make it wrong and she didn't want the blowback from this guy. As then surely the boss was going to fire her. Once she was finished did she place it on the counter in front of him.

It was weird as he picked it up and sniffed it first, then taking a tiny sip. She was about to tell him the price on that as the steaming latte came back at her splashing on her hair, her uniform, and even on her shoes. She managed a startled scream as she ducked down her hands cover her head as in a matter of seconds the light blue crystalline tail came shooting out even though it managed to stay below the counter, and the horns were slow coming out as well, though her hands where covering them for the time being.

"I wanted more foam than this! So remake it!" The snotty business man demeaned loudly not seeming to look over at Tsukuyomi, who could have been burned by the liquid, though seeming to be more intent on his phone for the time being. While with his free hand he dumped the paper cup on the ground next to him.

(( Sounds good? As Tsukuyomi's exposed and with the subject they were talking about I bet John could get angry enough. XD))

One she had pointed out they weren't following them did he slow down to a fair walking pace. Knowing all too well that running was what he had already done, though looking back to see if he could stop was something he was going to have to do as well. Though he kind of liked the surprise she had, though managed to hide to a degree, when he had said his name. Not one of the normal ones out there, as that was he was already told by some of the survivor groups. Even calling him Darka, Kausi, even one like Arkau. At which point he adopted the name of Alister to give to them, to have them stop making up weird shortenings for his name.

"Adelaide, a beautifully sounding name. Though I guess I can't really judge having not heard a lot a names, though still one of the more or the most beautiful in my book." He said once she had introduced herself, as it was a start though no bridge of trust quiet yet. Though that could come later. "Anyways, I am just curious, how far have you been out here before? Away from the Wall?"

She was going to reply t his comment of her name being a beautiful name, though smiled and decided not to. As she didn't technically chose it and the comment seemed like a note to himself, though it had hit the compliment feature of it as well.

"Well, it might be the first time for the lock, though not some of the doors and windows around here." She said with a shrug, as that's were the traps came in on the windows, the floor in select spots, and the entire stair case to the higher floors. "Yes the chain could be useful. As either part of a trap or a weapon if the need be." She said with a smile, as he seemed to have the same line of thinking she had. After all, an actual talking person was probably better than talking to non-living dummies, most of all on her mental state.

"Last I checked, two bullets in the clip." It use to be five, though two clickers and a runner changed that." She replied, remembering it was running out and she would have to go on another ammo hunt again. Though this time it would be on the move along with outside the wall even. "Though a decent number of throwing knives, besides..." She said as she walked over to the broken door, that he had busted the lock on, and once removing the rusty screw bowing the chain on the door frame did it come off without too much of a fight. "Should we get going. As you said we have to get across the city to get some guns to a survivor group. And I believe without alerting the military is the idea, and in the daytime we'd stick out."
