When Order Collapses, Say Hello To Chaos

Alice smiled and looked at him. "Thank you for letting me borrow these." SHe said with a slight and small smile.

Seth: i figured it was safe to turn around now, and did so. "Oh, er, its no problem." i said, slightly awkward. It had been a logn time since id really had anyone to talk to, and i didnt speak much unless directly spoken to. So id been silent for a long time.

Alice nodded and looked around the room. "Are you okay?" She asked looking at him strangly.

Seth: I blinked in surprise. "Y-yeah.... i just ahvent talked in a while is all." i said, shrugging.

Alice looked at him and nodded. It was typical for people not to talk much because of the lack of human life. She sighed and shook her head.

Seth: I laughed a bit. "Seems wierd having a use for my vocal chords again." i said, smiling a bit. "Anyways, if you need anything else, let me know and i'll see what i can do." i said.

"I agree...." Alice said with a small laugh. "You need anything?" Alice asked conserned

Seth: "Er, no..." i said, but my stomach growled, giving me away. "I'll need to make a supply run for food again soon, but i'll be fine for a bit." i said.

"I need food as well. Want to come with me?" Alice asked looking at him. He looked like tha sort of boy who would be afraid to do anything.

Seth: I managed a small smile. "O-okay..." i said, relieved that i wouldnt have to go on my own. Backup was always useful. There was safety in numbers these days.

"Well where should we begin? I cant go back into that store..." Alice said wincing in pain at the sound of her kinfe going into the guys chest. "Nope cant go in."

Seth: "Hmm.... well... i know of an old warehouse that stored some food. We may be able to find some stuff there." i suggested.

Alice nodded thinking. "We will need something to fight with just in case something happens."

Seth: I pulled the edge of my shirt back a bit, revealing a holstered gun at my hip. Nothing bit, just a handgun, but effective enough in a fight. "Got it covered." i said. I hoped it wouldnt come to a fight - i hated hurting people.... but sometimes stuff happened and it was better to be safe than dead.

Alice nodded and said "I have my knife and my gun... How will we get there though?"

Seth: I shrugged. "The way most people get most places. Walking. Its not too far." i said.

Alice again nodded understanding. "I found a car.. I can hot wire it... it has gas in it and it also has 3 more cans just in case."

Seth: I blinked, surprised. Gasoline was very rare these days. Usually if people used anything motorized it was electrically powered or using bio-feul. Even before the war, gasoline had been almost wiped out in a large bid to find more efficient environmentally friendly alternatives that were not finite. "Must be a really old car. But sure, may as well give it a shot. Beats walking." i said.

Alice smiled and held out her hand. "Well then come on."

Seth: I awkwardly took her hand, following. I hoped this was a good decision and i wasnt about to end up mobbed or dead. But you had to tryust someone, right? My problem was that i trusted too many 'someone's.

Alice smiled and held his hand while leading him to the old mustange. It was a dark red and it had nice leather seats. "What do you think?"

Seth: I grinned. "Looks good. A lot better than most of the cars still hanging around." i said appreciateively.

Alice smiled and went to hot wire the car. "I got it." She said after 5 minutes. "Finally."

Seth: I grinned. "Cool. I dont think i could hotwire anything if i tried. Its a skill i ahvent picked up yet. I CAN, however, pick locks. That's aobut it though." i said.

"That will come in handy." Alice said with a smile. "I can pick locks but i suck at it most of the time."
