undeadbeastsandunknownbeats started following you.

[tokilltrashbetrash]

"Ah, it is great to see you, Gundam and Mioda. How have the Zombie Hunt been for you," he smirked. And who is this? Ah, it is a pleasure to meet you."

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Great. Just the person Gundam needed his life right now. Komaeda of all people. He sighed loudly. "It is fine, Komaeda. Now go along on your way and do not worry yourselves with us."

Ibuki gave a giggle, standing close to Gundam and nodding her head. "Yup~ We killed a whole bunch before~"

[interius-malum]

{✃} — Not even the sound of ten dying whales could come close to the muffled noises that came out of Syo’s mouth as she laid face down on the ground.

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Gundam stared down at the female, shaking his head a little and wondering why he and Ibuki had hung around for her as long as they. He sat down next to her and crossed his legs, patting her back slightly. "Perhaps you shall find some kind of 'crush' if we meet another survivor." 

[interius-malum]

Tsk tsk tsk. People were so untrustworthy nowadays. Syo could tell — wait, what was his name? She couldn’t remember whether or not she had asked for it. Well, anyway, that guy seemed kinda distant over there, and the eccentric could tell why — people were murdering each other left and right for food or things or just because they’d turn loony from fear of the living dead. Fucking idiots. Them zombies are supposed to be their main enemy, not each other.

“Ah, you’re not annoying me chums. Accept any kind of company as long as they ain’t a fricking zombie or anything — maybe even them pasties I’ll talk to if everyone in this town keeps leaving. I can’t stand being alone.”

“Lemme just rub in some ‘erbs in this shit and we can start chowin’ down!”

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Gundam remained quiet for a few moments, staring at Ibuki as she seemed rather accepting of the woman. Normally he'd pull her away in fear of being killed. But this woman, though the complete opposite of someone he'd normally trust, seemed nice enough; If not a little scary. "Hm..." He hummed, slowly following Ibuki and taking a seat in front of the fire. "If you are completely certain...just know that we shall be on high guard until security is confirmed."

Ibuki grinned, bouncing a little in place. "Hooray~!" She cheered, glad that they had came at the perfect time for dinner. Even if it was the opposite of what she expected, she was happy they had come across Syo. "Thanks for having us~ Oh, this is Gundam-Chan, and Ibuki's Ibuki~" She introduced them.

"That is the opposite of what we are meant to be doing..." He muttered under his breath. 

[interius-malum]

{✃} — The eccentric spun around to face him.

"You got corncobs for ears, chum? It’s like what I said — I want a crush on someone."

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

"An apocalypse is not the correct time for a crush. Especially when the only humans around here are you, Ibuki and I."

They aren’t much use at all, then. I guess for someone else you just need to know how to kill them, the rest doesn’t matter, huh? "Then I take it that you don’t know that they’ve been getting smarter and stronger." He replied, gripping his own gun’s strap. "Turn me into a corpse if you want. I know more about these things than anyone else does." He was letting them know that he was a liable source of information on these things and hopefully that would keep them from killing him. 

"Either way, it doesn’t matter, right?" He added, turning to angle himself as if he was to return to the little fire he had started to cook the almost forgotten squirrel. "Just keep aiming for the head." That’s not going to work for too long soon. They’re going to advance and realize something about it. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not for another ten years, but one of these days, they will. And I’ll figure out a way to kill them still. 

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

"Smarter and stronger?" Gundam asked, stopping in his tracks and turning around to the male. "I do not know what you mean, as for the past four years it has been hit them in the head a lot and they die." He explained, giving a small sigh at the fact that they wer burning precious daylight while talking to this male. "I am fairly certain that their brains and head are not going to turn to steel and become bulletproof."

"Yeah! That's impossible! Ya can't stop your brain from being shot." Ibuki added with a small shrug, looking to Gundam for some kind of guidance. He nodded in reply, and the two began to step back toward Hinata with their weapons back in hand. Just in case. "What are you talking about? How do you know that they're gonna become stronger and smarter? They're already dead, how are they gonna learn?" She questioned.

[interius-malum]

{✃} — "I want a crush. Quick! Someone give me someone to crush on."

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

"What are you going on about now, Syo?" Gundam asked, cocking his eye at the sounds of her shouting at the nothing that was there.

LOOK THIS BLOG EXISTS

[shslunderworldbreeder-archive]

Alight everyone. I’ve made my decision. 

I’m on a reply hiatus until Saturday, as in I won’t be doing any replies whatsoever. I finish school on Friday, so I should be able to get myself relaxed then. Sorry to everyone, I really am. I’m just a horrible replyer. 

[brakeitfixitduo-blog]

 She had been burning up some fur of a rabbit she had caught earlier, letting out a small yawn. Having gone out on her own to search for food while her companion was off in their hideout working on some new modifications on weapons they had found recently. Letting out another yawn once again while she looked down at the first that was burning the rabbit, she then looked over hearing foot steps. Groaning a bit quietly she reached into her boot to pull out a large machete she always carried with her, standing up to see what the noise was.

Once she had heard one of them call out to them, she made a small ‘tch’ sound, but luckily they were human so she didn’t have to run just yet. She walked over and stood where they could see her, machete in her hand still as she rested the blade on her shoulder a bit. “try keepin’ it down, ‘ight? don’t wanna draw them fuckin’ zombies here.” she spoke so casually not even fazed at the fact she had weapons pointed at her.

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

In response, Gundam put the axe back in it's holster and pulled his own rifle out, keeping it pointed at Akane. "We are not using the Z-Word, for a start...and I am not fussed with drawing all the corpses in this area out to this location. We can both get out of this safe, but you on the other hand...That may be a little more difficult." He warned, keeping his stance strong and his grip on the weapon tight.

Ibuki kept her 9mm pointed at Akane as well, trying to keep her own stance strong and keeping close to Gundam. From their positions, the bands on their wrists were much more visable, sticking out from the otherwise dark colors on them. The female looked Akane over, trying to figure out what exactly she was doing. Was she staying here already? They weren't exactly trying to start trouble, just wanting to make sure they weren't killed by this woman.

"Who are you?" Gundam questioned, cocking his eye at the machete. Clearly she was either a very skilled hunter, or a very stupid one. "And what exactly are you doing with this fire?"

[interius-malum]

Syo dropped her cheery persona for a minute.

"Eh? You don’t trust me?”

She let out a loud cackle, and posed with a flourish. “Guess your new around here. I’m Genocider Syo,” she said slowly,” and, I’m a survival expert of a sort — I dunno, I don’t think so but the people around here do, so I just roll with it. Now, about your question, yah. Killed it on my own. Not as big or healthy as I wanted. Kinda on the skinny side but it didn’t have any signs of disease so why’d I have to give it up? It’s all about

knowing where to look and what to look for, loves. Like, if Marilyn Manson over there is a veggie, I have a fuck ton of berries and shit that I don’t even know what to use for. I’d love to give ya some advice on the matter, but food’s getting burnt on the side and I ain’t even put the good herbs or juices on it.”

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

"Never heard of you." Gundam retorted, giving a sigh and shaking his head. The thing was, of course he didn't trust her. He didn't trust anyoe besides Ibuki in this god forsaken world. Everyone else was either trying to steal from you, kill you or didn't want anything to do with you. It was simple. Why the hell was this woman all of a sudden trying to help them? "I am not a vegetarian. Most vegetation as died anyway, I am practically asking for death by being one of those."

Ibuki was staring at the cow, not caring about what either of them was saying. She hadn't seen this amount of food in one place in a long time, since Gundam and her had really been surviving on whatever they could find, which wasn't a whole lot. "You should make sure it doesn't burn, Syo-Chan." She spoke up, realizing that her and Gundam were probably annoying her.

"If you have us, we shall leave in the morning and cease annoying you." He spoke, looking over to Ibuki. She seemed to be into staying there, and he wouldn't dare leave her behind anywhere.

They were conversing together while Hinata thought about the situation. He wondered if they did know something, although he wasn’t quite sure. He could always ask, right? Yeah totally sounds like a good idea, Hinata. He scoffed inwardly. 

When he came to fully hear the girls’s voice, he looked over at her. Damn…He still couldn’t get over how tall the male was. Taller than himself, at least. “Of course I don-” he paused, watching her with a sudden death glare as she picked up his rifle. Oh. Oh hell no. They were so not taking his gun away from him. That gun had been with him pretty much for five years. There was no way in hell he was going to let them take it from him. 

"Put it down." He demanded, following after them. They made a mistake. They’d turned their backs on him. He wasn’t going to stand for that. With their backs turned, he could easily pick at least on of them off. Not that he was going to, but they honestly should have been smarter than that…Honestly, it was like they hadn’t been out here for the past ten years. 

Okay. So she placed the gun down. He quickened his pace and went to pick it up, looking after them. He didn’t want to interact with them. They seemed just as antisocial as him, but then again…he needed to know if they knew anything. So as he pulled his gun back over his shoulder, he cupped a hand over his mouth. 

"Hey." He called out a bit, making sure to keep his voice quiet enough to not draw the attention of the undead. "The zombies. Do you know anything?"

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Gundam remained quiet for a few moments, not turning around to Hinata and keeping the rifle swung over his shoulder in Hinata's direction. "We are not using the Z-Word to begin with....And secondly, not a clue. If we knew anything we would have already solved it." He replied, his gaze looking down to Ibuki, who hadn't turned around either. "Now, either let us keep going or we'll turn around and turn you into a corpse." He warned.

Ibuki remained silent, trying to think about where the two of them could go for the night. They had really just been in one place for a good amount of years, but since that was overrun they had had to move out and find another place to stay. All the pods they came across were useless and stupid, since they worked much better in a two then in a ten. They had gotten this far after all...

[interius-malum]

Just as demanded, the long-tongued eccentric presented herself in a flurry of her sailor fuku and braids.

“Hey there, loves, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” She cackled to herself, tongue-lolling. “Say, I’m just cooking this big ass cow I found— wanna join the fest, what say you?”

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Gundam stood still for a few seconds, very confused by how causal and happy she seemed to see them. Normally people tried to kill them or get them to go away, but this...admittedly terrifying looking woman seemed like the most welcome woman they'd met yet. "How does...one catch a cow in these areas? I have not seen a cow in the last year or so..." He muttered to himself.

"Wwwwwhhhoooaaaa!" Ibuki shouted, clearly confused and astonished. "You found that all on your own!? Gundam-Chan and Ibuki usually have trouble finding anything at all!" She grinned, nudging Gundam's shoulder. "Ibuki'll join in, but Gundam-Chan here might not trust you enough. Plus Ibuki thinks he's still a vegetarian." She teased.

"Ibuki, in the past five years I have ended more lives than I created. I am fairly certain my morals of eating are long gone by this point." He shook his head, not wanting to laugh or anything in the presence of someone else.

They had been walking for three days, and the two were getting tired and hungry. They had run out of food yesterday, and the hunger was now beginning to set in. Gundam let out a loud sigh as he looked out, tightening the bandanna around his neck. “Ibuki, do you see anything?” He asked, looking around for signs of a store, or civilization to steal from. 

Ibuki gave a small sigh herself, beginning to search around until a puff of smoke appeared in her vision. “Gundam-Chan! Ibuki sees smoke over there! And where there’s smoke, there’s fire!” She grinned. 

"Ibuki…that is a fire." He shook his head, before beginning to look around again, seeing movement of someone in his peripheral vision. He immediately drew his fire axe from it’s holster and instructed Ibuki to get her gun, the two beginning to look around. "Show yourself!"

"Why should I give you my name if you’re just going to kill me in the first place?" He replied to the demand for his name. He saw no point in it anymore, giving out his name. Everyone asked for it like they would remember it. Like they could call upon him and chat when they needed to. He had stopped giving it out a long, long time ago. He didn’t even use it much himself anymore when he was trying to pep talk himself.

And then it came down to food. It always came down to food. “Fire is for cooking.” He stated simply to what Ibuki had said to him earlier. “You can take it.” It was pretty much all he had at this point. Sure, he had about four or so granola bars left, but he was going to try and restock soon. He had been lucky to get a catch today. Normally animals were scarce. 

He glanced over his shoulder a bit as he was seeming to check on the fire. “Dark soon. I’d suggest you hurry.” He added, olive orbs flickering back towards the two. He seemed to speak in only short sentences. Who wouldn’t after four years of being on his own? He liked his own company better than anyone else’s anyways. He didn’t want to have to deal with dying right now anyways. They obviously didn’t know a good way to find food, so trying to talk his way into another deal was out of the question. They probably didn’t even know as much as he did about the situation at hand. They’re just two normal people trying to survive. Tch. Not everyone sits there and studies everything like I do. Then again, maybe they do. That could be useful if they let information leak out. 

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Gundam looked over to the fire and saw that it was a simple squirrel and nothing more. Initally, he had figured that this person had had at least a little more than that, but it was quite clear that they were getting no where with trying to make a deal with him. The tall male gave a loud sigh and looked to Ibuki. "He has barely enough for one person, we are not going to get anything from him..."

Ibuki gave a sigh as well, hoping that they would have been able to get SOMETHING to eat. But, apparently not. She looekd back to the brunette and shook her head. Picking his rifle up and beginning to walk away with Gundam. "We're gonna go. There's nothing you have that we can eat." She shrugged.

He kept walking, not bothering to look back at Hinata as he walked. There was no real reason for it after all. Even if dark was coming soon, they'd just shelter inside some old house or something. Like they always had. They had been getting along just fine for the last four years.

As Ibuki and Gundam got a good distance away, she slowly placed Hinata's rifle down for him to collect and began to follow after Gundam once more.

Dammit. They’re right. They’ve got me. Maybe I can find a way to talk out of this. If I put the gun down, then I put the gun down. But I still have my knives and the pipe in my bag… He was better as close range fights than long distance. Sure, he knew how to aim almost perfectly with a gun by now, but it was just lacking something. Maybe it was because of how much he was taught by those who had found thrill in hunting the zombies in the last Pod he had belonged to.

"….Fine." He said slowly, lowering the semi-automatic to the ground, holding his hands up. "No problem at all." He didn’t feel like today was a day to get pumped full of lead. His mind was racing a mile a minute, though. He had to think fast. Just because he put down his gun didn’t mean that they weren’t going to shoot him. But he wasn’t really able to get into any kind of authority yet. 

"I don’t want any trouble. Just passing through." He said, watching the two. He was studying them carefully. The man was strong. Probably stronger than he himself was. And looked older too. The girl, though, she looked like he could take her on if he needed to. But she wasn’t his main focus. It was the male. They both looked near exhaustion, almost like the undead themselves. Talk about dire need of a touch up. He mused to himself, trying to keep himself in focus. 

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

As the firearm was placed down, Ibuki slowly stepped over and picked it up, placing it down next to her so the male no longer at a long range weapon. She looked the male over, listening to what he said and giving a small hum to herself. "Passing through, eh? Then what's with the fire~?" She smirked a little to herself, figuring that he had to at least be staying there for the night.

Gundam didn't like the idea of killing and plundering whoever they pleased, but desparate times called for desparate measures. He gave a small sigh and kept his rifle raised, taking a deep breath and looking back up to him. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" He asked, cocking his eye and looking over the male. He appeared to be better off then they were, and that could be helpful.

Ibuki leaned up to Gundam, whispering in his ear. "What if we DON'T rob him? What if we get him to give us food in exchange for his life?" She suggested, a sly and proud grin on her face.

Gundam gave a small chuckle and nodded his head, looking back to the new male. "We shall make you a deal...if you spare us any food that will last us a few days, we shall leave you to your own business as if nothing ever happened."

Darkness was setting in. It wasn’t fun. Hinata was tired and he was hungry. Today had actually turned out great. Sure, making a fire in the middle of an abandoned area wasn’t his smartest plan, but he had reason to do it. He had caught himself a squirrel. Actual food. Not rations bars. He was excited for the first time in quite a few years.

Although sudden shuffling from around him made him grow ever curious. Was that…voices? Shit. If it’s other hunters, I might be done for. He said, wildly setting down the animal he had been skinning with one of his hunting knives. He quickly wiped the blood off on his black hoodie before pulling the rifle off his back. Good thing he was hidden from view. Or at least for now. 

The demand sounded serious, but then again, what didn’t now a days? Everyone was too focused on survival. Of course. Who wouldn’t be? He slowly stepped out from his hiding place, gun aimed right at the taller male’s head. “If you shoot me, I’ll shoot him.” He threatened, eyes narrowed a bit. He didn’t care who they were. They were out here just like he was. He knew they would kill him if he let his guard down.

[undeadbeastsandunknownbeats-blog]

Now, these two had never killed a human before. Sure, Gundam had once almost killed some white haired demon calling himself a human, but Ibuki stopped that from happening. Gundam put his axe away and pulled his rifle out in return, aiming it at Hinata. "You are outnumbered, and outgunned. I suggest you lay your weapon down." Gundam warned, his grip tightening on the weapon in hand.

"Ibuki doesn't wanna have to shoot you, but she will if you dare hurt Gundam-Chan!" She warned, stepping directly next to Gundam and taking aim with her 9mm. As they stood next to eachother, their wristbands were clearly in view, sticking out from the otherwise dark colors on the two. Ibuki didn't want to have to shoot this man, but if he dared to even try and hurt her friend, then shit was going to go down.

"I shall count to three. If your weapon is not put down, then we shall open fire and draw every corpse from ten miles over to this location." He warned once more, keeping his stance strong and Ibuki close to him. "One." He called, cracking his neck and shoulders. "Two." His voice grew lower, as Ibuki placed her finger properly on the trigger. "Three."

"Ibuki...that is a fire." He shook his head, before beginning to look around again, seeing movement of someone in his peripheral vision. He immediately drew his fire axe from it's holster and instructed Ibuki to get her gun, the two beginning to look around. "Show yourself!"
