"Hopefully we get some action," he says adjusting his mask. He walked over to the first tree with confidence, then ran in, motioning for her to come too.

"Agreed." Doing the opposite of Beaky, Adrielle pulled her hood back, letting her hair spill out across her back, and pulled off her bandana. She wrapped her chain around her waist, keeping two long peices in each hand. She followed.
group
"Oh, and she has a face" Min-Hyuk looked back and said jokingly. He then proceeded to run towards the low growls.
"No, this is a mask." Adrielle rolled her eyes and followed, easily navigating her slender body through the branches that hung down.
Hayden grabbed what he needed from the store and walked out, he could have used a few more things buy decided it was for the best that he leave. He walked through the halls to find an exit that he could get through.
group
"well duh." He says with an eyeroll of his own. He suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked up to a tree and grabbed onto one of the lower branches, hauling himself up onto it. He looked down back to the girl, whom he didn't know her name yet. He would have to ask her. He waved her over, motioning for her to come up.
A few seconds after, he had climbed a few more branches until he was decently high up in the tree, a rumble shook the ground, a scream sounding of someone dying came out, a ringing in his ears felt as if it were surrounding his whole body.
He looked back at her and put a finger in front of his face, his mask still on.
Adrielle followed him, climbing nimbly to the top. When he put his finger over is mouth, she rolled her eyes. She scanned the ground, looking for the source of the noise she had just heard. She ran her finger along a link on her chain, feeling the groove carved on to it, signifying a mutant she had killed.

That chirping sound came soft and quietly, though coming closer. And as it got closer it turned into the sound of a rattlesnake. Thumps in the ground coming closer. Out from the trees, a huge black and grey Screamer came out. It's fine looked almost like a man's, yet the eyes were more sunken in and there was no nose. The mouth bit, though frowning. The huge body was skinny except for its hands. Covered in patches of what looked like fur. It's hands were huge human hands. It's spine protruded from it's back in multiple places, ripping the flesh with every move it made. It looked around with it's rather long neck. Min-Hyuk let out a raspy breath as he watched it look around. He quickly motioned for the girl beside him to plug her ears as he did himself.
You didn't want to be around any screamer when it let out it's howl.
Adrielle stuffed two earplugs into her ears, then coiled her chain around her hand, getting ready to swing.
group
The screech rang through his ears, causing one of the worst minute-long headaches he's ever had.
It lowered his head and a few birds flew away out of the trees. Min-Hyuk unplugged his ears and rubbed his temples on the side of his head, wincing in slight pain.
He looked at the girl and nodded. With that, he quickly slipped down from the tree and hid behind it.
Ignoring the guy, Adrielle swung her chain, braining the screamer. Her ears ringing from the scream, she swung again and jerked it toward her, choking it and bashing it against a tree.
group
"You weren't supposed to go yet….but okay" Min-Hyuk sighed and ran out. He stopped and watched her, to see if she could handle it. Which from the looks of it, she could. "Impressive"
"Thanks," she muttered, yanking the chain away and swinging it toward the screamer again, digging the sharp tip of the chain into its neck and jerking it back again. She ripped the screamer slowly to peices, then stood panting, coiling her chain back up, wiping the blood from her weapon.
group
"Effective" he mentally wrote that down as he watched her. He seemed unphased by how impressive that actually was. Most people could only hurt the screamers. But she…
She tore it to shreds. Min-Hyuks never met somebody else who could do what he could. "Well now that that's over with" he ran his fingers through his tangled yet surprisingly soft hair, which shone slightly blue in the sunlight that peaked through the branches and the leaves of the woods due to how black his hair was. He turned around and started walking out of the woods, wondering if she would follow or not. Halfway hoping she would. Though he was a little disappointed he didn't get any action.
Adrielle glanced at him. "You leaving now? What, is it because I deprived you of any action?" She shrugged, shoving the chain back in her pocket, and jogged after him. Even if he didn't want her to follow him, she still would. He was the only other living person she had seen around here, and would probably keep her sane. "Can you show me how you got the spine from that screamer without breaking it?" She asked him, blowing a strand of hair from her face.
group
He put his hands on his hips and whipped around. "It takes far too much skill. One like you couldn't possibly pull something that requires this much skill and professionalism to do something like that." He says dramatically.
"But let me, a professional, so you how its done" he turns around and walks towards the screamer. Once he reached the body, he stepped on all of its ribs, braking them, then he knelt down and dug his fingers into its flesh, covering his hands in a black, oily substance. He broke the bone connecting the spine to the head and dug his hand deeper into his flesh to get a better grip. He jerked it to the side a few times to the right until he heard a pop and a crack, then to the left with the same thing. He put one foot on its shoulder and pulled a little, then a little more and jerked it, and out it came. "Viola"
"So you just break the ribs, then pull it out carefully?" Adrielle tilited her head to the side, looking a bit like a curious puppy. She pulled her hair from her face, then pulled her hoodie back over her head. "Damn. Now I wish I had another corpse to do that to. Is that how you kill them?"
group
"Well there are many ways to kill them. But their spine is a for sure way to go. To make sure it's dead. They can't live with their spine." He says wrapping the spine around his hand as he walked over to her. He held the spine out to her. "Here. Since you didn't take the last one. These are unlike regular human, or animal spines. Stronger than elephants. This spine is of course a screamer, meaning it won't break easily. Though especially this one is flexible. More than most actually" he says examining the spine. "It would be an excellent whip." He hands it to her.
"Meh. I guess. My chain is better, though." She slid it through the back of her sweatshirt, so it hung carefully against her own spine. She shoved her hands in her pockets. "Where to?"
group
"Well i was in the middle of gathering supplies so i can bring it home. So…." He ran his fingers through his hair. "Home i guess. If you wanna come, you can. Just follow me" he says as he starts walking.
"Where do you live?" She asked, slightly startled. "In one of those camps, or in an actual house?"
group
"Well….i could live in my old house. Down in Coffeeville. But i don't feel like it. A barn actually fits pretty well. It works" he shrugged as they continued walking, nearing the barn.
"That sucks," she said, fingering her chain. She frowned in thought. Should she? No. She didn't know him well enough yet, and he might not be exactly as he appeared.
group
"Not really. It's decently nice. And hey you might get to meet Baracuda." He shrugged as they walked down the cracked, overgrown road.
"Baracuda? Who's that?"
group
He turned around and thought for a minute "uh….it's a little hard to explain. Though….oh I hope he doesn't kill you. Hey if he tries to, don't kill it. I can handle it. Sorry..it's happened before….. but dint worry" he waved it off with a shrug as they neared a giant old barn. The red painting was worn and almost all the way chipped off. The two big doors were heavily chained shut on the outside.
"Hope sweet home" he sighed constantly as he walked in. He turned back to the girl. "You comin?"
"Sure." Adrielle shrugged, rolling her shoulders slightly, and followed him. She surveyed the barn and raised an eyebrow. "Wow. Nice place. So clean." She smirked. "Why'd you choose here?"
group
He looked around at the hay bails placed in very certain, yet weird places. It was clean, yet disorganized. Very organized to him though. He looked around then turned to the barn door which she came in from. He grabbed the bulky chain and wrapped it around the bar and hooked it to another bar on the wall. "When i left Coffeeville i just came across this. It can hold quite a bit. So i mean…why not" he shrugged
(Wanna make this a private rp since no one else is roleplaying it anymore?)
"But it's so much more comfortable in a normal house, or even a storage place!" She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Got anything to eat?"
group
He turns around and stares her dead in the eye, though he had his mask on, in a complete monotone voice he says; "children"
Then turns around letting out a soft chuckle as he takes of his mask. "Nah. They're meat is too tough for my liking" he waved it off. "Over here i have some. Oh, and in this bag" he says unzipping it revealing tons of canned foods.
