"Well," Derrick mocked, stepping forward, "in case you didn't know, the whole world got diseased and we're the only survivors."

Suddenly two kids ran down the stairs. Both blonde and with the same nose, the girl had her hair pulled back, while the boys swooped across his face, the kids stopped in unison and looked from Derrick, to Rhizo, to the other girl, to Mr. Brown, to Nick Worth unconscious in the closet, to the broken window, and all over again.

"So," said the girl, "New survivors? Well I'm June, and this is my brother Jackson."

The boy stepped forward, a puzzled look on his face, "Why is Nick asleep in the closet, and who are you three?"

"Actually, Nick is unconscio..." Derrick started when June squeaked.

"What?! Why? Let me heal him," June acted horrified, as she bent down, and tapped him in several places all over his head and face. Blue ripples ran from her fingers and across his skin as she did.

He awoke with a jolt. Then, she went over to the window, and tapped each of the pieces of glass as she had Nick Worth's face, only when she lifted her finger, they flew back into place in the window.

"Healing powers," Jackson whispered, startling him.

Jackson laughed when Derrick jumped up.

"So, while were meeting people, is there anyone else I should know about," Derrick said sarcastically, turning towards Mr. Brown again.

Alys stepped through the wreckage of a tiny house, crushed by a giant vine. She was unknowledgeable of the happenings that had caused this and sighed unhappily. Frightened and puzzled, the small girl continued on, frowning at a broken bottle lying in the street. A strong breeze caressed her and the sharp remaints shot into a trash can several feet away. With a dazed smile, she continued on without any memory of having ever done that. Her mind was only occupied with thoughts of her cute guinea pigs, Alys wandered into a building and sat down, exhausted. It looked mostly deserted, aside from the Mortem vine that congested the former apartment. Murmuring to herself, the girl drifted out of the building as the thorny, thick vine made her uncomfortable. Ready to recommence her long journey, voices interrupted her preparing. Al sauntered towards the Paradise Motel. She glared at the sign, knowing that many motels were very wasteful and wasteful was bad. Her anger grew and she stormed inside with a mini storm whirling around her. She gathered some wind from the air, some heat from the sunlight, some water from puddles, and small plants stretched and grew to coil around her ankles as she walked. But as she reached everyone, all of her power use made her forget all about the terrible wastefulness of motels and the source of her anger, the storm slowly starting to fade as she blinked and her eyes skimmed the room. "Hello, friends," she greeted the strangers in her musical airy voice.

The alluring and lithe individual pushed some wavy hair out of her dark eyes and rammed the sturdy jeep into a vine. "@#%#it, you stupid plant!" she warned, her gray eyes focused on the green vine in the road, blocking her way. Groaning in frustration, she swerved and went through a hole where the vine went up. Sighing, Jess sipped her tea and drove through a building. Who needs rules when you're the only one on the planet? That was her motto. She's the only alive human, why not make the most of it? Jess had given up on looking for survivors and was now only trying to find good places to steal supplies from. No, not steal, just take. There's no one really to steal from. She had raided a fancy restaurant for lunch and was hoping to find a sushi place for dinner. No luck so far. Crashing through every place she saw, Jessamine checked her fuel. Almost empty. Pulling over, she went to fill up her gas tank and then noticed a car by a motel. It was recently used. Survivors maybe? Grabbing her iPod and tea, she turned on MGMT - Kids and traipsed to the doorway, not going in but standing at a point where she could see some of them but she wasn't noticeable to anyone else. She wasn't alone. Her gaze skimmed across them and inspected them. She withdrew, retreating to where she could still hear.

Rhizo jumped, scared by the sudden appearance of old Red-Eye, as he's starting to call her. The young man sarcasticallyy replied to Red-Eye's question, then, a pair of children came down and introduced themselves. Rhizo stared as the girl, Jules or whatever healed the man who had grabbed him.
"Too much for me." he whispered to himself.
So Rhizome decided to stay quiet until further notice.

Derrick was interrupted in his thought as a girl came into the motel.

Something about her was a little off, but Derrick didn't know what. He was about to say something.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Brown, welcome to the Paradise Motel," he started, getting on his lecture.

@skittlejg @pbarr Alys beamed at the man, Mr. White was it?, and nodded to everyone in the room. "I'm, um, Alys? Yes, er, Alys Chevalier, I do believe..." she wondered, very flummoxed about how she had gotten to this room and who all these new people were. "Has anyone here seen Strawberry? It's time for her to be fed." (Her guinea pig) Muttering something about carrots and hay, she ambled over to a chair and collapsed onto it, falling asleep immediately. Although no one knew it -- including herself -- she had been walking for quite a long time and had overtired herself.

"Wait, why would you have a guinea pig?" Rhizo objected.
"Pets would just be drag when you're trying to run away from the Vine."
The girl, Alys, glared at Rhizo.
"I protect the helpless animals."
"Riiight."

Alys rolled her eyes and then frowned. "The... vine?" she echoed. "What is this plant you speak of?" the thin girl inquired, searching for her guinea pig. "Strawberry?" she called softly, looking through the hotel.

Derrick gave Rhizo a confused look. Did this girl not know about the Vine.

"What do you mean, were talking about the Mortem Vine?" he said slowly, still not being able to to process the fact she didn't know about the Mortem Vine.

The young man shot Rhizo a confused look. Rhizo returned it.
"Strawberry?" Alys said softly, looking around.
"Wait. Do you really not know about this killer weed growing anywhere and everywhere?" asked Rhizome.

@skittlejg sorry it took me so long to post.

@hayz @ilovedoctorwho @pbarr @tralala22

Mary hadn't gotten any sleep in two days because she hadn't had a decent bed and she didn't feel safe enough. 'I think I might try and find someplace decent enough for me to sleep in' Mary thought. Then she shifted into a cheetah and began to run in a random direction. She might have been running for about 4 hours before she became tired and fell to the ground and shifted back to a human. 'Wow that was tiring. I should have just stole a car' Mary thought as she tried to catch her breath. Then she looked around her and saw the Mortem Vine on most of the buildings except on the 'Paradise Motel', which had a few vines on it. When her breath had come back, she stood up and walked inside and to her surprise saw other people, alive and breathing. 'I guess I am not the only survivor and I am so glad. I wouldn't last another day by myself' Mary thought.

"Hi. Um do you have any rooms open at the moment?" Mary asked as she tried to hold back a yawn but failed. 'I hope they won't kill me' Mary thought.

Then she heard a guy talking to a girl who was calling for something called Strawberry. 'Wait this girl doesn't know what the Mortem Vine is. Well she might have memory lose or something' Mary thought. "What does she mean by Strawberry? Is it a pet of hers?" Mary asked the guy who was talking to the girl calling for Strawberry.

Maybe we should wait until everyone's on until we continue with this? ^^;


'Great, another person to make nice with.' thought Rhizo.
"New person, this girl is Alys. She is looking for Strawbery the Guinea Pig."

She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "I haven't been outside since about a year ago until a week ago--" She mumbled, only to cut herself off in the middle of her sentence. Wait. Those greens growing out there... She turned around and looked out far in the window she broke through. Greenery covered all sight outside. How--

Months ago, strange plants were growing around the curbs of the sidewalks. Around that same time, many active players from Fifty Honor had also started to 'mysteriously vanish'. Months ago, she had been ripping off pieces of 'dang moss' that had grown around her computer wires. A week ago, she was walking to school, dismissing the greenery around her as the lack of the community service team. Admittedly she had not been paying attention to many things recently, for the sake of 'earning' money, but it hadn;t been this bad... right? And just a few moment ago, she was running through a field of puke green shamrocks.

Fifty Honor, a cliche zombie game hard enough for only the most hardcore gamers. Who would've thought that the situation of reality would fall into the hands of a scene similar to the bloodied fields of dead murder?

"--New person, this girl is Alys. She is looking for Strawbery the Guinea Pig." She heard one of the boys say. "Tch," She brushed off, "Even if it's alive, it's gotta be infected with this weird plant disease going around." She scoffed. "But they're plants, how do plants eve-" Her vision grew dizzy, and she stumbled. "Even--" She crashed down onto the floor, eyes seeing nothing but darkness.

Richie walked past the broken down streets and the poor building that were about to crash. He crept through the tall houses, looking for anyone. Anyone. At this moment, he wasn't as picky as usual.

Thinking back, he thought of the times he was in a castles type of thing, where his parents and sisters and queens and kings were roaming quite happily. Then one day, he was awaken in the middle of the night, and ran over to the nearest grocery store. He looked back and saw those vines, creep up towards his family, turning them all to diseased animals. Gross.

Richie kept on walking, till he saw light on this motel. Paradise Hotel. Richie was so hyper to see light, he ran towards the hotel, and smashed the doors open.

He saw a few people talking, and whispered, hi.

"Killer weed? Mortem Vine?" Alys looked a bit afraid and air blew some strands of hair into her pale face. Her bright eyes open wide, she clutched her hands together and searched more hurriedly. "What have you all done with Strawberry and Rocky? They can't stand not being let out of their cage very often!" she exclaimed, knocking over a guy with sticky-uppy hair while rushing past him to find her guinea pigs. "And Rocky's long fur will get all tangled if not brushed!" she sounded panicked and wasn't even really paying attention to anyone, only focused on finding her animals. She barely noticed when new people walked in, one of them being a girl with mysterious gray eyes and light wavy hair.

"Hey, fellow survivors, I'm Jess" she said with a small wave and a half smile. "What's new? Other than the invasive Mortem Vine and our new powers," she added with a chuckle. Looking around the room, she checked for cute guys but no one really caught her eye. Sighing, she shrugged. "Let's just get this out of the way.You'll all want to know about my power eventually." She walked up to Richie and looked into his eyes and began to 'push'. As her gray eyes darkened into a full black, she implanted a crush into his mind, "You think that healer girl over there is pretty cute, don't you." (This wears off pretty quick and if you want I can change the person she pushes. If you don't understand what she's doing, watch the movie Push. 😸) (The healer girl is June) She relaxed and her eyes returned normal. Feeling weak, she walked over to one of the guys (Rhizo) and leaned on him. Turning, she looked at the barefoot girl, still searching for guinea pigs. Jess leaned back on the guy, running her fingers through her thick hair.

Derrick started to worry about the sanity of these people. Jess, who nobody seemed to know, almost scared him. Meanwhile Alys was freaking out about her Guinea pig.

"What's going on here," Derrick said, his head hurting from confusion.

"I have a solution for her. I think" Mary said referring to Alys. "Oh and by the way I am Mary and you don't have to play nice with me, if you don't want to" Mary added. Then she went out of sight and shifted to one of Alys's guinea pigs and went up to her. Mary squeaked up at Alys, hoping she would believe that she was one of her guinea pigs.

Wow, so many people!


Ugh. Too much action, yet again.
Three new survivors. Red-Eyes crashing onto the ground. Alys freaking out.
"Can everybody shut up for a while?!" shouted Rhizo.

Everyone's attention turned to Rhizo.
"Okay, okay. Hippie, we'll help find your guinea pigs later. Jess, get the heck off of me. Derrick, get yourself together. New dude, new girl, hello. Welcome to the madness that is currently life. June and Jackson, can you guys help Red-Eyes over there?"

Alys smiled, reassured by the fact that someone's willing to help. Jess pouted, leaning away from Rhizo. Derrick closed his eyes and tried to focus.
"Well, I think we should all assign everybody a room." said June and Jackson in unison. "Mr. Brown?"
Mr. Brown, shocked by all the new arrivals, nodded slowly.

"I already have a room," Derrick said, "so I'm going to go to it."

Derrick walked into his room, and heaved a huge sigh. Later, he would go out once new survivors stopped crashing in every second. Until then, he would sit and wait.

Mary ran back out of sight and shifted back. "I'd rather stay outside but I don't want to die so just give me a key" Mary said. She was very cranky because she was tried and about all the people in the motel right now. She snatched a key and went to her room. She unlocked the door and then locked it again when she was inside the room. She didn't pay much attention to the way the room looked, all she cared about was the bed. She shifted into a cat and curled up into a ball and fell asleep.

"Uh, Mr. Geezer, I'll take a room. Wake me up when it's dinnertime." said Rhizo as he took one of the keys.

Rhizome ran upstairs, and stopped at the top.
This seemed like the floor where all the rooms where. Weak sunlight filtered in through a dirty window. He walked over to Room 13, which was at the end of the hall. Unlocking the door, Rhizo went inside.

There was a single window, giving him a view of the broken city. There was a small bed in the left corner of the room, and a nightstand next to it. A closet was in the far right corner, and a door, possibly the bathroom, to the right. It smelled like cigarettes and mold.

Sighing, Rhizo crashed onto his bed.

Derrick woke up with a start as somebody softly knocked on his door.

"Hello," he called out.

"Yes," said a fragile, old voice, "It is time for dinner, if you would meet us down the block."

And then, he heard footsteps walking off. Getting up, Derrick tried to flatten his hair, and headed off for dinner.

"Someone's in a bad mood," Jess muttered, tossing her hair over her shoulder dramatically and walking away to take a key.

Alys's eyes lit up and she picked up Mary, hugging her to her chest. "Rocky, you're alright! Is Strawberry with you, is she okay?" Forgetting about her guinea pigs temporarily, Alys was unfazed as Mary left and changed to a human. Grabbing a key, she followed everyone upstairs and she ambled into a room, falling on the bed and smiling at the stars through the dusty window.

Jess reached her room and groaned. "I'll kill myself before sleeping in such a hideous and unsuitable room!" she said storming out dramatically (I'll be using this word quite often when rping Jessamine, get used to it) and went back downstairs, sprawling out on a chair and sighing with dissatisfaction. Peopl passed her, going to dinner and she got up, following them with a frown on her face.

Someone told Alys it was time for dinner and she went downstairs, floating down using the air around her. "What's for.... lunch, is it?" Following everyone, she pondered it and then freaked out. "I have powers! I can... can, um, do something with elements or something..." she trailed off forgetting what she had been about to say.

"Little boy? Time for dinner." said a voice outside his door.
Rhizome woke up, and groaned. That wasn't his dad. He wasn't in a boxcar, sleeping on a pile of newspapers. He wasn't watching the stars in the sky with his father. No, those days are gone. Long gone.
"Just go down the block, meet us there."
Sighing, Rhizo stood up and dragged himself outside the door.
He saw Alys floating downstairs on what seems like air, and was rather impressed.
"Some mutations are better than others. She might be the new Avatar." Rhizo joked to himself.
Then he used ran downstairs to meet everybody.

""""""""""""""""

Derrick walked down the street. The sun had began to set. It might have been a pretty picture in other circumstances.

He opened the doors to a small 50s diner. Unlike usual, there was no terrible music in the background, and it seemed very dreary. He looked around. Jackson and June were sitting. An old woman dressed head to toe in pink was sitting with Mr. Brown, and Derrick saw an old man walking to a table.

"Derrick! Nick is making the food, go and get some, and then come sit down," he said, with a big fake grin.

Derrick walked into the back of the restaurant, and found Nick Worth standing over the grill.

"Hello," Derrick muttered.

"Derrick, grab ya a plate right there and come, I got food," he pointed to the counter.

Food turned out to be a hamburger.

"Sorry, it's the only stuff in this place that hasn't gone bad, and once we run out, I don't know what we'll do."

Derrick took his plate out, and sat by himself.

"Hello, Derrick," said the old man, walking up to him, "I'm Alistair Smythe."

His old blue eyes ran over Derrick as if inspecting him, but he didn't look judgmental, only kind.

--
A few minutes had passed since her blackout before Silic started to stir to life once again. Waking from her day-slumber, she cursed. These attacks were so annoying! Aside from that, it had hurt to collapse onto the floor with no support. Her head throbbed horribly, body feeling even more tired after the surprise nap.
There were no more people left in the lobby, seemingly all to have left. Picking herself off the dirty floor, she patter herself down, getting the dust off her clothes. A note was stapled to the nearest piece of furniture. Walking over she read, 'Dinner for what's left of the human race, just down the block!' She scoffed. Despite living in Nevada, it wasn't like she went out a lot or anything. Most of her time was spent online game shooting moving dead corpses; the other half of her time fantasizing about her being her character from the said game. Giving out a groan, she turned to the door. Walking over and opening it, she stepped out.

Once outside, she stomped as much as possible on the green plants while walking down to a building where some people have begun to gather. Now knowing that it was most likely this plant cell that killed everyone... and... Siez... she developed an annoyance to it. The whole being just seemed to irritate her to no end. Its' harmless appearance as a whole and its' puke green color of spiraling vines.

As she arrived at the building, she put her hand in her pants pocket, looking for it. Thankfully, it was still there when her fingers scraped the bow. For now, it was her only known defense, and she couldn't afford to lose that. Opening the door, the realized that it was just like a small restaurant, with a bit of 'mess hall' in it. She drew her hood down even more, it seemed almost embarrassing to be seen by people. In other's eyes, she's almost always addressed as a recluse, or a NEET. In any other case, this would've been the time for her to disappear, if not for the fact that her body was too weak as of now.

So they're still in the Paradise Motel building, right? ;w;

EDIT: ahaha nevermind. Ninja'd so hard by skittljg cries ah well I can make do with this.
