"Yo, that gas mask is pointless, the air is fine. Also are you this. . . 'Cielo'? Guy, Ghost here says your a guardian like me. . . " Kenneth said addressing the younger man and lighting a cigarette now ignoring Ghosts warnings.
Location: mountains of Monterrey of Former Nuevo Leon: Mexico.

Bodrick's foot steps were light as he moved down to the town, his music had switched to something blues like song. The beat was pleasant but you could tell the singer was hurting. He enjoyed it.
The desert had started to reclaim to city it was easy to see. He strolled into the town, passing a " Welcome to sign" That most cities had. He couldn't read the writing but knew what it was. A wind kicked up some dust from the road giving the town a very old west feel to it. Bodrick smirked a little as he remembered an american film he saw once were the bandit walked into town much like he was now, to face a law man that had warned him to leave town. But there were no lawmen here... and he wasn't a bandit. He turned off his music so he could hear everything better.The town was quiet... eerily so.
The hair stood on the back of his neck as he passed deeper into town as he realized there were no sounds from the town. Even in this emptier world there were still sounds of animals and wildlife, birds mostly. But not here... His sweaty hand clutched the grip of the rifle , holding in in low ready as his eyes scanned the town. He was already here so he might as well look for something of use.
'Maybe it's radiation, no, my Geiger counter would have warned me about it if it was bad enough to kill off the wild life.' His mind searched for answers as to why the town was so devoid of life. The back of his mind kept whispering an answer but he ignored it, determined not to give that thought life... He couldn't escape the feeling of being watched now tho...
He moved a little faster to a building and crept in, checking the doorway for traps as he went. He had almost lost his leg once back down south, the towns people had set traps in every building to piss off the invaders, or looters as the case may be.
Having found nothing that would kill him he moved in. The building was a restaurant by the looks of it, he doubted that he'd find much but he'd check for water at least.
He went to the restaurants restroom, the most likely place there was any water left.
The restroom looked little used, save for the dust that covered the place. He noticed some foot prints in the dust. They were old to be sure but it meant that someone else had checked for water at least. It looked like whom ever had only checked on stall so there was a chance there would be water left. He opened the stall and sighed heavily in defeat. It was one of those toilets that schools used, the ones that didn't have a reservoir. No water here... He was fucking cheated by these god damn people!
He kicked the stall hard enough it bent the frame, dust plumed from the room. He rested his head against the stall's frame for a moment looking at the dent. Why did it make him so angry that there wasn't water here...? It's not like it meant that this town didn't have 'any' water in it... just not here. yeah he'd be fine maybe the next place would, it probably would in fact.
" Excuse me... Can I help you find something?" A voice said.
Bodrick turned, rifle raised and ready to shoot but was puzzled not seeing a person standing there.
A small robotic creature floated in the door way.
What in the world...?
" Hello?" it asked again.
" Hallo." He answered in English, his Russian accent soaking the word through, he was still very confused.
" My name is Howl, and you are a guardian. " The machine said.
Bodrick only caught a few words of it. " Don't understand. Russian?" He asked in english.
" Oh, Forgive me. My name is Howl. You are guardian. Saviors of the human race, There are others like you. Do you need anything?" the machine answered flawlessly.
Bodrick just stood there not knowing how to react....
That's not really an excuse though.... sorry again I haven't been posting ^-^]
'Those two boys left, but the girl is blocking the entrance to the Hospital... or the path to the Hospital.' Danny thought crossing his arms. "That girl is Octavia, the two that just elft were named Cielo and Kenneth" Zion said looking at Danny.
He glared at the ghost.
"More guardians?" Eleanor asked looking at the ghost. Zion nodded. "Correct"
"So no threats?" Eleanor asked again. Danny leaned against the wall beside her.
"Again; Correct" Zion nodded again. "Lets go then" Eleanor smirked and stood to her full height. She walked out from the buildings shadow, and Zion followed beside her.
Danny mumbled something under his breathe, but followed far behind them.
Eleanor approached the girl. "Hey" she said. Juts barely raising her voice, but not enough to sound angry or stern.
"Ghost told me your another guardian, true?" Eleanor asked, nudging her head towards Zion. She had both her hands place on her hips, her fingers fiddling with her loose belt.
"Oi, come be my pissant." And with that Kenneth handed the boy a lit cigarette. "C'mon I got work to do and you are comin' with."
Eleanor rolled her eyes at Danny then stuck her hand out. "Im Eleanor. Since we're both guardians Im guessing we'll see each other often" she smirked. Danny sighed and held out his hand as well. "Im Danny, since she's introducing herself I guess I should to" he nodded. Zion floated silently beside them, watching over there movements and conversation.
"You sure are cozy up to me huh. . ? Whatever. I say we go around and look for survivors or some shit, or maybe jut find a house and sleep in there until all Hell breaks through or until a Guardian snaps and starts killin' people. Hey. . . Now that sounds fun. Wanna go on a killin' spree?"
Kenneth grinned devilishly and laughed before taking a drag off his cigarette.
"I am not soft. I have lived through things that make kids like you piss themselves at night. Killing is all I know. But, I do know where a place we could stay is at. Get up, walk with me. No time to waste here bitching like teen girls."
Kenneth turned on his heel and started walking away towards a broken down town-like thing.
He strolled along side Kenneth and whistle quietly and happily. "Man, I could make so many things from all this junk." He stated as he kicked around some rubble of metal from what looked like a car bumper. "How about you? Any good with your hands?" He snickered.
Kenneth glanced to Harry and scoffed lightly but then he was caught slightly off-guard by Octavia.
"You gonna come with us girlie? Or do you wanna hang back with emo boy and the ditzy trio?"
After addressing Octavia he looked back front but then spoke to Harry.
"I work yeah, I can use my hands just fine. . . And what could you make from this debris? Anything useful?"
Kenneth spoke as Ghost was busying itself talking to the other two Ghosts about how much of a pain Kenneth is to deal with.
"Fuck me. . . Alright, we ain't the best team I've seen. . . But hey, we may just survive this shithole of a world we have now eh girlie?" Then to Harry he spoke again. "You sure are a happy little fucker aren't you?" Kenneth scowled slightly as they walked through the broken gateway to a small house on the edge of an abandoned city.
"Alright, this is HQ, you queer and you, the bitchy one. That cool?"
Kenneth grinned and reclined on the couch, dust and mold squished from the couch.
"What are you makin' there Happy?" Kenneth asked sounding indifferent but underneath there seemed to be real interest.
