Cadence pulled her brother along to sit under the small pavilion with the man. They didn't say anything to each other just sat in silence watching the rain. She always loved storms she thought they were beautiful but when you were out in the open to suffer its wrath that beauty was lost. This was the first time she was able to enjoy the flashes of lighting and the sight, the smell of the rain falling in such a very long time. Leaning against her brother she pulled her coat tight around her quickly falling asleep waking in the early morning to the sound of metal scraping against metal. She lifted her head looking around her brother and the man were still asleep so she got up quietly watching the people move about. Hesitating, rocking back and forth on her heels she thought about exploring just a bit but she rarely left her brother's side. It would be quick she would be right back and they were in a safe place so it was alright. Taking a deep breath she stepped off into the muddy streets following the noise where most of the activity was coming from and saw people bringing in scrap placing it in a junkyard. She moved into the junkyard looking around picking up pieces of scrap just nosing about when she spotted the man from yesterday Twix was his name wasn't it? He said he would give her and her brother a job maybe he had a place for them now. She quietly approached him as he worked stopping a good distance away speaking in a quiet voice "Sir? You said you had a job for my brother and I? Do..you have one lined up yet?" She rubbed one arm nervously looking at her feet as she spoke.

Twix turned around . “Eh oh yeah…. Um… Karvin what scavenging spots do we have left.”
One of the militia one decorated with a red cloak flipped through a clipboard he held. “We have a small scavenging group headed towards Sector 5... It could always use some backup. Sir.”
Twix nodded before smiling. “Alright then lass… believe that group is known as the Black Globe… meet um at the gate in an hour sector five temple district is less dangerous then say sector one… but it still can have some nasties…. Help yourself and your brother to a crossbow some bolts and if he needs it some make shift armor from the piles over there.” he said before going back to work shaping scrap metal into armor, weapons, and necessary needs for survival.

Cadence looked up and grinned at him nodding she went to turn but stopped watching him as he worked. She stood for a bit watching from a distance than made her way closer and closer trying to be discreet about it acting as if she wasn't watching. She loved making things not to say she was all too good but watching others who were creative at building objects fascinated her. She edged closer until she was almost next to him and she watched with a side glance as he built armor.

Twix hammered away turning scrap metal that most people would think worthless into a fairly decent set of armor. Twix was definitely skilled. “You should hurry lass they don’t wait if your late.” he moved with far to much grace for a man of his age. He worked and spoke with out taking his eyes off of the armor. “It may take a while to get ready… so ya should hurry up there they should have extra cloth uniforms if you don’t want armor.”

Cadence jumped a bit when he spoke suddenly her eyes darting away but listening as he spoke. "I'll be ready in time I'm use to getting ready to move within minutes." It was true she could have supplies gathered up in the blink of an eye it was a needed skill to learn if you wanted to live out in the wastes of the land. Her brother was able to do the same even to a greater extent since he normally carried any heavy supplies they had if they did ever have them. "What are you making?" She asked timidly giving him his room not wanting to get in the way. She was a very shy nervous person but she did love people and loved to socialize before the attack. That was still in her and when she began to settle in to an area that trait came out more and she pressed trying to get close to anyone she could.

“oh I am just working on some armor for the militia men… after that I’ll be working on ammunition for crossbows… then I’ll be trying to repair some of the buildings so we have more indoor areas…. Even if they are no more then metal shells they still keep people safe and out of the rain.” He continued to work the armor until he was satisfied putting it aside he began to craft another suit.

Cadence watched with bright curious eyes as he worked and was amazed at the finished product. "That's amazing you can just take scrap and make it into something so useful. I can't even make a paper airplane fly." She said giving a small smirk a first attempt at bringing out her playful side around someone else other than her brother. "I like to make things though just to keep myself busy. Never anything like this though." She cleared her throat sitting there watching him quietly for a few moments "So are you the leader here?"

Twix stopped before pulling on the hairs of his chin. “Well… I guess I am as close to a leader as these poor folk have. I am a man of many talents after all… I understand medicine and as you can see am not a half bad smith… I also am not a bad shot… and I fancy myself an engineer of sorts.” He continued with his work. “ if anything I keep things running smoothly.”

She nodded turning over a piece of scrap metal wondering how you could make anything useful out of something like that. "It's good of you to do all this for them. I'm not much use I'm afraid I can cast shields thats the most help I think....most of the time at least." She stared at the piece of metal as she remembered the people she abandoned she dropped her shield and they died because of her. Sighing she got up dusting herself off as if it would help her already dirty clothes getting ready to leave and wake her brother.

Twix nodded. “Aye… still it ain’t enough… no matter how much I do… it will never be enough. Eh… hell that is life ain’t it.” He laughed as she began to walk away. “Psions are pretty helpful specially in a group. They can sustain a shield fer days while warriors kill off the bastards that are attacking.”

She turned around walking backwards listening to him as he spoke "Yea, well it was nice talking to you. Hopefully we'll get to do it again real soon." She grinned at him then turned back around hurrying out of the scrap yard into the muddy streets again. She was ecstatic at making a new friend and thats what she thought of him as already a friend. Cadence had a habit of quickly attaching to others and calling them friends. It was a habit that had brought upon more heartbreak than was needed but she continued to do so.

After being dragged under the pavilion by his sister Jace sat and watched the rain fall as his sister curled up next to him. "Well talk later" Jace said to the man in the military uniform. "were safe now... but what is this foreboding feeling I have" Jace mumbled to his sister, but to his suprise she had fallen asleep. "Oh well I guess I'm just nervous" he now mumbled to himself as he watched the man that had greeted then earlier before falling asleep. Jace woke up with as start, he had slept judging by the position of the sun far to long, also his sister was gone. She can handle herself Jace thought as he stood up hurriedly but I still need to find her . Jace left the pavilion glancing at the man that had ran under with them before he left, introductions would have to wait it seems. Jace walked around the streets calling his sisters name when suddenly she ran into him with a thud. "Ugh" a small gust of air was pushed out of his chest as she ran into him "Oh there you are" Jace said slightly out of breath.

Cadence fell back on her bottom and shook her head with a grunt. "Sorry Jace! I was just excited you see.." She grabbed a hold of Jace pulling herself up. "You remember the man Twix? Well he has jobs for us!" She grinned widely at her brother happy to feel things were a bit more normal getting a job and everything. Sure the job would include life threatening perils on an alien planet but that was normal nowadays! "We're going to sector 5 to collect scrap with this group called the Black Globe. Twix said you could get yourself some armor and weapons before we left too! We have an hour to get ready so we need to get started." She smiled tugging him back toward the pavilion seeing that the man was still there. She wondered if he could go with them to Sector 5 he was a lot of help before.

Vincent dosed off deep in thought and didn't awaken till after the others had left, he glanced around and stretched popping his neck and checking his clips of ammunition to make sure he had refilled his current clip. noticed he hadn't and done so placing the now empty clip on his wrist and the partial full clip back in the rifle. It wasn't often but he felt it safe enough to put on the safety. To him that was almost cause for celebration. "no where did they get to?" he wandered out on the street feeling the mud under his feet and heard a lot of clatter. This caught his curiosity and he followed it to a scrap yard where several men appeared to be very busy. He passed Twix and stood looking all around his rifle slung across his back and eyes slightly squinted.

"No problem" Jace said with a grin after his sister apologized. He stood for a few seconds listening to his sister chatter before she started dragging him back to the pavilion. "Who wait a second, I have a few questions." Jace said as he stopped and thought for a second. "First of all, is anyone else going with us to sector five to meet up with these people. Second the weapons are free, we don't have to pay for them right? Finally we really don't have much to pack, and we should probably see if we can get any provisions."

Cadence listened to her brother's questions a bit impatiently ready to get going. "No it's just us going to meet them brother and Twix didn't say anything about us paying for the weapons so I'm sure they're free! Now come on I'm sure someone will give us provisions before we leave." She said tugging at him while she spoke seeming like a child anxious to go on a trip.

"Ok, ok geez your so friggen pushy!" said Jace exasperated as he followed his sister under the pavilion. "Guess he woke up and left" he observed out loud after noticing the man had left. "Oh well, We will probably run into him again. So what all do we need to pack?"
Setting

Cadence noticed the man was gone as well she wondered where he had gotten to. "Ok well he said we could take weapons and armor so we'll gather that and then go meet the group." She paced around ready to go and get on the job. She wasn't excited to run into the monsters again but the fact she was helping a growing society gave her a sense of being normal. That's what made her ecstatic and ready to participate and be of help. She'd keep the group safe no one would get hurt she'd see to it. She'd make up for her mistake all that time ago.

Several militia ran by in a rush a bell sounding. “Scavenging teams will be leaving within thirty minuets, lets move it men.” A large heavy set man shouted from a still intact office building which served as the militia headquarters.

Cadence became impatient waiting for her brother, she was afraid to let him out of her sight but it was safe here! "I'll go on ahead brother and meet you later!" She smiled hurrying away getting in a line to pick up armor, she'd never worn armor before and she carried the heavy load that was handed to her in her arms hurrying to the meeting area. She didn't know how to put this stuff on so she stood there on the outer circle of the group holding her armor waiting for orders.

A tall gaunt man stepped forward. He had pale skin and armor with a medallion hammer into the center of the chest plate that marked him as an officer. “Alright were heading out in five… you get your armor on… you’ll be torn apart if you don’t have it on.”

She peeked over the pile of armor looking up at him. "I don't know where all the pieces go I've never worn armor before...I just make my own." Well it was true she did technically make her own armor with her shields. She was the smallest one here she felt a bit out of place but a bit safer with a large group of people. They all probably thought her silly for not knowing how to put the stuff on but how should she know?! Besides it was all heavy and she didn't enjoy that.
