Tonx Keena Evergreen

Tonx huffs as she grabs a bag of peanuts, tears the bag open and starts shoving them into her mouth, hardly chewing them. They were chillie flavored but she was to famished to care about something as trivial as taste.

She looks over at Alexander. Giving him a faint smile, a little amused at his dumb-ass grin. It was good to see him feeling relaxed after the events of that day. She walks to the pool table and puts the balls in the triangle, preparing it for if either of them wanted a game. She looks at him at his other comment.
"Is it?" She asks him "I've never drank so I wouldn't know." She hauls herself onto the table without much effort as the pills were beginning to take effect. She looks at her dangling Ugg covered feet before she asks "...Do you think they will come back?" She was still unsettled by the events of that day and it showed with her hunched up and tense posture.

Kennedy-Leigh McCally

The young womans bi-coloured eyes scanned around the pub - despite the destruvtion that had happened in the city the all to familiar pub was still in good nick, apart from a few boarded up windows and broken stools - everything appeared to be in tip-top condition; electricity still worked, the entertainment still wordk, bathrooms, beer pumps and the doors still locked. Also, a pretty good place to stay, maybe if her friends decided to stay she would to. But, Kennedy couldn't come to the fact there were actually more survivors wondering around the city.

From earlier the two surivors she had met made her think whether there was even more? Sure she had a run in with several before she met Tonx and Alexander but she hadn't seem them since - although she didn't want to she thought the worst. A one that stook with her was a woman - quite like herself - who went by the name of Kassidy, they had met in an alley and infact started off slightly arguing - their dogs even fighting, but afterwards they wished one another the best. Kennedy did like Kassidy and her little bringle Staffy, but they hadn't been seen ever since. Although, the hostile two they met earlier made Ken unsure whether she wanted to meet anymore.

Those two were so cowardly, sticking around when humans were involved - and for that cocky woman to hold a gun towards them for offering help and the male ordering his canine to attack only angered her. If they hadn't of judged and acted so stupit they would of had company of a group that would offer protection and things they needed - like food. But the way those two had acted - running as soon as the zombies came annoyed her, sure her, Alex and Tonx would have helped if it was them in danger. Some people are completely selfish, and Kennedy was sure upon meeting them again she would be completely hostile to the selfish bastards.

The smell of alcohol quickly filled her nose as she turned to see Alex opening some sort of bottle - and judging by its bottle is was scotch, a rather strong drink indeed. The young woman let out a giggle as the lad held up his bottle and spoke about how the drink was good, since they were here she decided she may aswell join him - besides this may be the only chance they get to actually relax having a snack and a drink. Pulling her hands back from the table Kennedy lifted placed them on the seat and pushed herself up - trotting towards the bar.

Arriving at the mohogany counter top the young woman invited herself behind the bar - the slab was already open so she wouldn't need to do so. Looking around the shelves she grabbed a pint glass from the cup shelf and turned looking at the different drink available "Hmm.." she mumbled to herself. Reaching forward she grabbed the pump and held her cup underneath slightly tilted - pulling down the leaver the fizzed liquid known as coke filled her glass. Turning, she grabbed a bottle of Glens Vodka and poured about 3 quarters into her cup - vodka being a rather strong form of alcohol usually used for shots. Srewing on the lid she put it back.

Holding the cup in her hand she lifted it to her mouth and took a rather long, refreshing drink - her bi-coloured gaze then drifting onto the young male who was knelt over the bar. "I much prefer a Vodka and coke!" she spoke raising her pint-glass filled with a rather tasty drink. Smiling she then glanced at Tonx "Would you like me to make you a drink, or pass you some snacks?" she questioned since she was already behind the bar. Running her nails through her long, brown her she awaited a reply - continuing to take small sips. Tonx's question soon caused the girl to think, would they have the balls to come baclk? She hoped not cause Ken wasn't going to take it nicely. "They're dumb-shits if they do" she growled "That woman, showing hostile behaviour when we wanted to help? I'll blow her brains out..." she muttered with a slight grin - she wasn't sure if the two would think she was quite the psycho or agree with her about the cowardly pair.

Tonx Keena Evergreen

"I don't drink." Tonx answers to Kennedy's question about the matter. She grabs a bag of 'Golden Wonder' crisps from behind her and rips them open. They were salt and vinegar flavoured, much more to her taste. Now that both of them were now drinking and Alex's seemed to be particularly strong, it makes her unsettled as she shifts in her position and begins to pick at an old scab on her wrist which opens into a cut, but she keeps going at it. Her wrists were heavily scarred from her cutting but she didn't do it as often as before but the shadow of an idea of people being drunk (and having weapons as well) made her uncomfortable.

She looks at Kennedy at her comment about the two of them. She sighs and looks down, still focusing on picking at the cut. "And to think I wanted to help him... Christ, I'm stupid..." She says with a slice of malice, towards herself rather than towards the cowardly duo. Of course she had to do something like that. "Tonx, you moron... people get hurt all the time..." she growls lowly to herself, referring to the boy's broken leg "Can't you stay out of their business?" She looks around, unaware of how loud she actually said that, but she meant every word of it. Granted she hated the idea of someone being hurt or sick or alone or all of the above. Probably because it happened to herself. But in this mad mad world you can't think that way. Keep yourself alive.

The raven haired girl seems to go into a trance as she remembers a particular moment with her old 'group'. She was sitting away from the others who were all eating the rations. The young boy who liked her had brought her some bacon without the others knowing. "Why do the others not like you, Eeyore?" he had asked her as she chewed ravenously on the meat. "Survival of the fittest... and do I look fit to you?" She answers him, seemingly exactly like her nick-namesake. "But your nice, wouldn't people like that?" the boy asks her. God bless him, so innocent. "Perhaps... perhaps so..." Tonx answers him before pulling her knees to her chest and falling onto her side, wanting to sleep. The small boy hugs her head in his small arms and with a "night night, Eeyore!" he scurried back to the others.

"Hrph?" Tonx grunts as she is aroused from her daze, she looks at her wrist seeing the blood beginning to dribble out; had she been picking at it while she was thinking? The girl growls and goes into the toilets before emerging with a toilet roll. She didn't want the medical supplies to go to waste on something as stupid as this.
"You gotta control this, you dumb beast..." She growls as she wraps the toilet paper around her wrist before tying it so it stayed on as a makeshift bandage. She looks at the two with slightly sad eyes and begins picking at her crisps. The thoughts begin to sink her mood even further.

Alexander Thaddeus Way

"We will fight or we will die either way the enemy will fear us today."

Alexander gave Kennedy a broad smile. It lit up the usually dim and grim face of Alexander, his dimples shallow but definantly noticable on his clear face, the sides of his silvery green eyes crinkling in a sudden happiness. "A vodka girl, aye?" He said in his stark, yet pleasantly amused tone, before giving a hearty laugh to that. He was just overflowing with joy; for once, he was happy and not just 'content.' He had a flask of scotch in his hands for pete's sake! How could he not be happy? And such a wonderful group of people to be surrounded with. For once, Alexander thanked the Earth for this precious moment. But like all precious moments- fragile and frugal, Alexander would make the best of it.

The young lad pulled himsef up onto the bar counter, swinging his legs over his side so that he could see Tonx as well as Kennedy. He held the silver flask in one hand, and forked his fingers through his wavy brown hair that he combed lightly to the side with his callusy fingers. His hands were rough from training cops and sometimes the occasional military officer or marine soldier. Before the world went to shit, Alexander spent his weekdays training policemen, and government officals, as well as their dogs, to be the best of their ability; and on the weekends, an engineer at a local auto-vehicle shop. His silvery green eyes flickered a bit at the memory of his jobs, his old friends, even his boss, Mary, whom he may or may not have had feelings for. But that didn't matter now. What only mattered now was protecting Tonx and Kennedy, as well as Trooper and Hunter.

Alexander let out a low grunt at the comments about the other survivors, and after Tonx's comment she left the room and returned with a bandaged wrist. He didn't make a comment, because he didn't want to upset her, but he shot her a concerned glance- his eyes softening on her newly bandaed wrist. His full sand-colored lips twitched downwards for a split second, but he returned his gaze to the pool table afterwards. As he stalked towards it, he picked up a cue, and ran the chalk over the ends. "I think they're both cowards. But there's something off about them. They have the aura of government officals- or something, because I've never seen a black AUG like that male was carrying in the "local gun & pawn. But if we do come across them again, be alert, ready, if they plan to be hostile scumbags again." He said with a huff before nodding towards Tonx to let her go first.

"When you feel like quitting think about why you started"

Kennedy-Leigh McCally

Kennedy watched as the young girl placed the balls into the triangle ready for a good old game of pool - that was something she would always do with her father or her brother, playing pool was one of her favorite things along side darts and the air hockey table. She sat for a few seconds allowing the memories to flow through her brai, the memory of when her father would purposely allow her to win just so she felt good about herself caused a smile to grow across the day-dreaming womans face as she remembered the laughter she would share that day. And the first day she leart to play darts, ever since she continued with the game, her brother and father teaching her it - where as her mother dressed her and told her stories before bed, how she missed it all.

But there was no way she was getting back to the old days, her childhood pub was destroyed along with her home and town - her parents moved to the country and her brother had moved to Brazil for a mechanic job - they were totally oblivious to what their hometown had turned into and Kennedy wished she could see them again, maybe it would be her last, she would never know. Despite having no contact though she still had the memories saved in her head - which was enough for now.

With a stupid smile still plastered across her face Kennedy was soon beamed down back to reality - the dull lit pub with boarded up windows and broken stools, nothing like it use to be and her smile slowly faded as she looked around with a sigh. Although, four things caught her gaze Hunter the dog she had owned ever since she was set off to live her life independantly, she loved him with all her heart that dog done absolutely everything for her. Tonx, a woman she had recently met but seemed to never have a horrid thing to say about anyone, a good friend indeed and someone she classes as her family. Alexander, a young man she had also previously met, although at times he seemed a little snappy she knew he meant well and she liked him, he protected her and Tonx just like they done for him and eachother. And last but not least Trooper. She hadn't really interacted with this canine but he meant good, a beautiful dog he was who like Hunter protected the group with all his heart - a loving companion.

As the brunette took her eyes off the group a smile seemed to reappear on her face, pushing her arms back she now stood with her hips resting on the edge of the counter slightly leant over - her pint glass in her hand as she took another sip until hearing what Tonx said. "Oh, well would you like some coke or something?" she questioned. Tonight Kennedy wasn't planning on getting wasted, just a few glasses would do - she wanted to be able to stand and think incase of another attack or the duo of cowards returned.

Turning her gaze onto Alex she chuckled at his question - grasping the cup firmly she raised her arm and placed her lips over the edge of the cup, tilting it and sucking in the drink. Licking her lips once doing so she smiled "I sure am, best drink irl could have.." she chuckled with a wink - then glancing at the two dogs who seemed to be still guarding. Although she respected what they were doing, she did want them to be able to sleep -  they would end up exhausted and well, she didn't want them bored every day of their lives starring out of a window guarding, whilst the city was still infested with flesh eating creatures and that hostile group they encountered earlier.

The tall figure of a man walked past, obviously being Alex who seemed to join Tonx - who now had tissue wrapped around her hand? Tilting her head Ken glanced at her hand then back up at the girl, the wound seemed minor like a scrape or a cut - not to deep as it only let off a small amount of blood through the thin, white tisse - but she shot her a reassuring yet questioning gaze with a dip to her head. Watching as the two were about to play pool she listened to what Alex said about the two from earlier - the young woman slowly began to grit her teeth, but quickly stopped. "They're idiots, showing hostility towards other survivors and running from those creatures instead of defending themselves is only going to give them a one way trip out of here - and that's down..." she mumbled with a sigh - remained leant over the counter she glared at the two. "Yeah, they have some good weapons - but how they decide to use thems the main thing." she admitted with a quick raise to her brows as she smiled.  


What she's wearing

[Stuck in Limbo]

Tonx Keena Evergreen

Tonx nods to Alexander as she goes onto her knees to take the shot. Leaning over would have been too painful. Her tongue peaks out of her mouth as she focuses. After a moment, she thrusts the tip of the que on the white ball, which shoots across the table and it clatters against the rest. A red spotted ball goes into the top right corner. Smirking a little, she walks around the table and goes for another spot but it misses and clanks against a striped ball which goes into a pocket.

"Pfft... two shots for you." she says as she stands back. She turns to Kennedy's question about a soft drink. That is much more her speed. "Yeah, why not..." She shrugs as she waits for Alexander's go.
She huffs as she looks at her 'bandage' which was failing miserably at its job as blood was coming through the tissue. She takes it off and examines her wrist before wrapping another roll of toilet paper around it, more this time.

She listens to Ken's comment about the duo. "You probably don't want me to say this... but what if they actually attacks next time...? Maybe it was a fluke... or maybe its just me being stupid..." She comments. It was something running through her head and felt that she had to say it.

"We will fight or we will die either way the enemy will fear us today."

Alexander chuckled at Kennedy's vodka and coke concoction in hand, and flashed her a smile of pearly white, slightly pointed, canines. Once Tonx took her turn on the pool table, he backed up a bit and gestured for Kennedy to go first. "Ladies first, remember?" He said with a nod of his head, holding the cue in hand and slouching slightly so his 6'5 self didn't seem so tall among the young women around him.

Trooper trotted over, his police vest bobbing on his lean frame, and he sat beside his owner, giving him a nuzzle before returning to the door to keep watch with Hunter. Alexander whistled a high pitched tune to his loyal companion, and the dog let out a yowl in response. Alexander chuckled and rubbed his face before picking up the flask and taking another swig. He shook his head at the two unknown cowards from before. "Those uncultured little swine's. Next time I see them, I'm going to have a bone to pick with them. So dont you worry, Tonx. If anyone should be worrying- it should be them." He said with a light growl to his tone. He set the flask down on the side of the pool table and rubbed his face with a sigh. "Also- Tonx- remind me to teach you how to use that shotgun to your advantage." And with that, Alexander readied his cue for his turn after Kennedy.

Tonx Keena Evergreen

Tonx takes a long swig of Coca-Cola before she makes a small grunting sound and turning to Alexander at his statement.
"Oh... right..." She says quietly as she remembers. She wasn't experienced with firearms at all and using them made her nervous.

"...Alex... have I been umm...?" she wanted to ask if she was a burden but she couldn't bring herself to, instead she says "Have been ok at helping...?"
She pops more crisps in her mouth and chews on them as she takes the crude bandage off of her wrist and start's picking at the same cut, making it bigger, she focuses on it as she waits for his answer.
