Mat heard a yell and then several things falling. "Come or stay, up to you!" He called to the third boy, as he rushed in. Inside, Mat saw that some creature was attacking jack. It didn't take long to find. He quickly took aim, and threw his knife at the beast. It landed in the beast, but didn't seem to hurt him much. The creature looked at Mat, which would hopefully give Jack a chance to gather thoughts. The beast began moving towards Mat. He quickly looked around for some type of weapon. He decided on breaking a wooden shelf off of one of the nearby stands. Mat held the makeshift weapon out in front of him. Mat turned to Copper. "Copper, get Josh!" The boy pointed out of the window and the fox followed his finger out the door.

Talia rolled her eyes, a tight lipped smile on her face. "Nah, though if you're that hungry you're welcome to try? It'd be smarter to use the poop for a fire, seeing as it burns longer than wood," she explained, hopping over a fallen log. "Lots of things around here are edible, you just have to know which ones. For example," she bent over and took the fronds of a plant in her hand. "This is called fennel. It's pretty tasteless- then again almost all the plants out here will be. You may have seen this on salads." She continued on their forray, her eyes peeled for a clearing. She hoped to get a little farther before nightfall, just so they could be insured that those creatures wouldn't sneak up on them. Another small plant caught her eye, making her bend over to examine it. "This is honeysuckle, it tastes alright. For a flower anyway." Talia didn't bother eating any of the plants, she would rather focus on walking.

Josh didn't need the ugly cat to get him, he was already springing into action. Mat had just thrown his knife for no reason and hadn't done any good. Imbicils. Pulling his shirt over his nose and mouth, he walked right up behind the zombie, pulled out Mat's knife and with a single, smooth motion, decapatated the beast. "And that is how you kill a zombie," he said, cleaning the knife on the zombie's ragged clothes.

Right after the zombie was killed, Copper jumped back onto his resting place. "Thanks for the demo!" Mat said cheerfully, holding his hand out for his knife back.
Bad post is bad. But I'm not feeling creative...

Katie felt a flood of memories coming back. "Honeysuckle! That's the really sweet flower!" She said, remembering how her mother had brought some back for her once. "You just..." She trailed off, pulling the bottom of the flower out and tasting the nectar.
Jack stood up, brushing himself off. In the corner was a girl and a dog he hadn't seen before. "Hello?"

She heard the voice draw the zombie away. Robin's eyes closed as she tried to feel and hear her way around things. Making her way slowly across the room she heard banging and then finally a voice that confirmed about the zombies death. She sighed in relief and allowed herself to breath once more. Once she came around a small corner she guessed that the boys that saved her were somewhat near her. "Thank you." Then thinking for a moment she opened her eyes and hoped no one would call out on their ghost like appearance. "Why didn't you just run?" Most people she met so far would have it seemed odd someone stayed and fought.

Talia looked over her shoulder, indulging in a small smile. Turning back to face front, she ducked just in time to avoid running into a low hanging tree branch. "For all intents and purposes, that didn't just happen," she muttered to her companion from her Matrix pose. She righted herself, shoving the branch back roughly and walking into a small clearing. A small doe looked up in surprise, it's ears raising and it's black nose twitching. Without thinking Talia brought up her pistol and fired, once, twice. The first shot grazed it on the neck, but the second hit home. It bleated in dismay before dropping, the shot having been fatal. It twitched for a few moments before falling still. Walking over to the doe, she turned and grinned at Katie. "Looks like we get to eat tonight," Talia said, reloading.

"Oh, boy. Not poop!" She excitedly half-joked. "What can I do to help?" Katie asked, examining the clearing. Two sturdy trees met each other oppositely at the halfway mark, making it perfect for hanging something between the two.
Jack looked at the girl, surprised. "I don't know what kind of people you've met, but we're nothing like them." Jack said, glancing at the other two boys.

ooc; What happened to Jack and Katie's dog?
ic; Josh crouched beside the severed head, shirt still pulled over his nose, and picked it up by the sparse hair that covered its head. Unclipping a small flashlight from his backpack he shone the light in the zombie's eyes. Nothing happened. "They don't see so well in the day," he said aloud to no one in particular before continuing his examination. Kneeling, he set the head gently on the ground and inspected its neck where he had cut it. "Hmm," he said, pulling out a pair of rubber gloves from his bag and snapping them over his hands. Using his switch blade he hacked away at the muscles surrounding the zombie's spine. When he was finally able to inspect the bones he found that they were brittle and thin, easily broken. The muscles were stiff and tough, and he deduced this was the reason for the zombie's slowness. Grinning like a child who had just been told Christmas was coming early this year he proceeded to split the zombie's skull to poke at its brain a little.

OOC:Grosssssssssssssss!
Talia looked around, thinking about what Katie could do to help. "You could form a lean-to on those two trees," she said, pointing at the ones she was looking at. "You do know how, right? I've got to skin this deer, unless you want to do it." Obviously most people would've cooked the deer fur and all on the fire, but cnsidering she had the knowledge to skin it why not? She wouldn't gut it, just get rid of the fur so they weren't hacking up fur balls like cats all night. Pulling out her sword, she got to it. ((Not going into detail like sunny lol))

ooc; Oh, poop. Uh... Let's just say that Fry went with Katie. Haha.
Katie nodded, petting Fry. She was lucky that Jack had let her take him, even though it was his dog. Fry began sniffing the deer, sitting patiently while staring at the dead deer. He tilted his head, ears flopping, hopefully looking at the meat. Meanwhile, Katie began gathering the tarp up, laying it against the trees and tying it up like a little tent against a tree trunk.
Jack clapped the doctor on the back, slightly put off by the image. "Wonderful. While you have fun, let's go gather some supplies. Everyone can take a couple aisles, I guess. Be thorough." He mumbled, going off on his own to get the rest of the stuff in the store that they could use.

Talia glanced over at the begging dog. At first she thought it would be a hamper to them, just being an extra mouth to feed. But, she had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. Slicing off a chunk of raw meat, she tossed it to him. Rising, she wiped her brow with her sleeve and admired her work. Now to cook it. Finding a long branch, she spitted the deer and laid it off to the side. "I'm going to collect fire wood. I'm gonna stay in the clearing though, who knows whats out there," she informed her companion, then jogged to one side of the clearing and began collecting branches and things from the trees.

ooc; XDD you're the last person I expected to be squeamish, sweet.
"We might learn something about them," Josh protested against Jack's comment. "And they never let us disect real brains in med shcool," he added more quietly. He played with the brain for a few minutes until he was satisfied that he had poked enough. Removing the gloves he threw them into the moutain of rubbish in the street, pulled his shirt back into place, and started ransacking the store.

Jack turned to Josh. "Really? I thought that that's what med school students did in their classes. Corpses, skeletons, brains." He said, honestly intrigued.
Fry woofed a happy thanks, running over to Talia and licking her boot. Then, drooling slightly, Fry picked up the meat and trotted over to a sapling, chewing it throughly.
Katie giggled. Fry could get food from almost anyone. Testing out the strength of the string holding the tent up, Katie nodded in approval. There was soft grass right underneath it, so she didn't need to go gather some. The tarp covered two of the walls, the tree covered the second, and since the whole thing was facing inwards, she didn't really need to do anything to it.

Talia smiled at the dog and returned to the make-shift structure, her arms full of wood. "We'll be fine as long as we keep this lit," she explained, dumping the flamables on the ground. She then set about constructing a small fire, lining the inside with dry bark and dead grasses to get it going. The last branch she laid on it was sticky and smelled of pine trees. "Pine resin burns really well," she said, pulling a lighter out of her pack. She wasn't a smoker, but training has taught her to keep a lighter at all times. She clicked it until a small flame popped up and held it to the sappy branch, blowing on it gently until a flame caught. Within a few minutes an acceptable fire was burning. Talia heaved the spitted deer up, then laid it across two sticks on either side of the fire. OOC: I'm generally not, but that was a nasty image xD blood doesn't scare me. I've had multiple surgeries ranging from teeth to appendicitis.
