wind  blows  hard  through  the  trees,  cool and sharp  against  exposed  flesh  —  porcelain  turning  to  ruby.   soft  whistles  and  rugged  creaks  form  an  unsettling  melody  as  she  wanders  the  sort-of�� graveyard.   sneakers  crunch  against  overgrown  pathways  and  crumbled  cement  until  she’s next  to  her  favorite  attraction  :  the  carousel.  a  familiar  tune  begins  on  her  lips,   a  soft  hum  increasing  as  she  begins  circling  the  horses  –   looking  for  something  ( important ). 

Connor became tuned in sneaking around, only being heard when he wanted to be and seen at the most appropriate of times. He was good at surviving, something he was practically born with. He was on a raid, hoping to score on bulking up his food supply as the winter months loomed when he noticed a patch of blonde hair bouncing around the carousel. His eyebrows furrowed, taking note she seemed to be alone before creeping behind a support beam. “You’re completely exposed.. you know.” he spoke, his words soft as to not arise any unwanted attention.

“I’d prefer it if you didn’t follow me..” Connor spoke, his voice heading a warning as he traveled through the woods, his intentions to make it over to a spot he was hoping held resources, a good hour and a half walk from his site. He had been walking about forty minutes when he felt someone behind him, he was certain he’d walked away from the camps but he was starting to think he planned his route a bit wrong.

LOCATION: the woods?

dareon is really missing the little things nowadays. hot showers, a cheeseburger, sleeping in on sunday mornings and having dinner with his family was only starting the small list of things lost once the outbreak settled in and the world fell apart. he’s not physically tired, just tired and sitting on what is left of a broken log for now guard still up. “ funny seeing living faces around here. “ outside of the camp, he hadn’t run into that many survivors among the vast woods and it might be better that way.

Connor much preferred the silence and solitude that came with being rogue. He hated the company of others, it resulted in loss and pain, there was simply no use. He tended not to dwell on the past, life before the outbreak, even then life was hell for him, this was simply just another version of his hell. A voice caught him off guard as his head snapped in the direction of it’s origin. He pressed his palm to a tree, eyebrow raising. “I kind of like it that way... lack there of living faces” Connor spoke back, his eyes moving around them to assure he wasn’t being walked up on.

"are those bite marks?!"

“On me? No. You’re delusional.” Connor protested as he pushed his backpack back over his shoulders, his eyebrows furrowed between her and the body between their feet, an infected that had charged at him moments prior. “On her..yeah.. right on her shoulder. She’s fresh.” he judged as he squatted down, flicking his gaze up to catch her opinion.

if the kid turns, it’s your ass.

“My ass? Nah, that’s not on me. Told ‘em not to step foot over here, too infested, he chose to go for it despite my warning. That’s on his ass.” Connor pushed back, his fingers pointed at the voice directed to him. He wasn’t going to take the fall for his stupid mistake. “Should have been smarter… not my fault.” he muttered.

Best thing in their life?

    fear the walking dead sentence meme:     episode 4 - 6

they don’t die. they keep coming back.

people like us run like cattle, piled into trucks – one suitcase apiece.

it’s safe inside the fence. outside, everything’s dead. everyone’s gone.

turns out there’s nothing you’ll ever take that nature won’t take back.

it all belongs to nature. and the dogs. and the dead.

she’s helping sick people.

it’s not normal. stop it. stop acting like it is.

they said there’s nothing alive out there.

i think there’s someone out there.

she needs it more than i do. you said so yourself.

don’t be a hero.

curfew will remain in effect until further notice.

be nice. so i don’t have to shoot you.

either you’re gonna go in and you’re gonna talk him down, or i’m gonna go in and i’m gonna take him down.

you’re worrying your family.

i don’t think i can do it.

they keep asking me if everything’s gonna be okay and i – i don’t have the words.

it is gonna be okay.

you’re in my head all day. i can’t concentrate.

you’re the only thing that makes me believe there’s still good in people.

where the hell is my damn truck?

was that make-up sex?

what’s going on with you?

you’re buzzing around here all day, every day, driving yourself nuts.

that is their duty.

are you listening to yourself? you’re talking paranoid.

can’t have that around camp.

there’s nothing alive out there.

i’ve already met four people that swear you’re the reason they’re alive.

he was gonna die. i didn’t know what else to do.

are you the one that decides who goes to this facility?

your friend is in good hands.

you’re a very attractive woman.

my father told me not to have hatred in my heart.

men do these things not because of evil. they do evil because of fear.

what the hell happened to your face?

take it easy!

don’t you hurt him!

he’s not a risk. i’ll look after him.

if you find this, i love you.

what i saw was prophesied. what i saw was godly.

i wish you were here, but i will see you soon.

what kind of man does that?

i don’t know what came over him.

tell me, you fascist pricks!

i’m gonna show you hostile!

you know they’re not here to protect us.

get any sleep?

what the hell is wrong with you?!

what if she dies?

i need you to be strong now, okay?

i can’t hold us together on my own.

i don’t want her to be scared.

this is how we bring them home.

i want to help you.

now we have something to trade.

i don’t want you to hurt him.

these guys are not warriors.

can you help me get my people back or not?

i said you couldn’t do that. i can do anything i want.

i got guns.

get your ass back in the truck.

i won’t hold nothing back.

i’ll tell you whatever you want.

when it comes to getting his hands dirty, he doesn’t want to.

you don’t think she’s human, do you? ‘cause if you do – if that’s what you think – then we’re just a bunch of murderers.

that ain’t a person.

are those bite marks?!

one slip-up, one ‘what if’ and we all start finding out how the neighbours taste.

so when we roll up on this bitch, you stay in the truck.

some people don’t trust the government.

the man with the blade and the man in the chair – they’re not different. they both suffer.

have you no respect for private property?

is that your bike?

i’ll ask the questions.

i’m kind of the law in these parts.

come on, i want to show you something.

they’re not coming back.

i’m not sick.

if the kid turns, it’s your ass.

i told her in detail about the violence, what was done, how we suffered.

do you think she will understand that it was necessary then to survive?

sometimes all we can do isn’t enough.

do you wonder what happened to them?

i can hear them. i can still hear them.

tell him what you told us.

i was wishing we had something to mask the smell of urine.

i look at you and i see someone who knows the meaning of necessity.

i’m gonna require a man with your talents when i make my move.

they all come back.

traumatic brain injury is the only thing that stops it.

we don’t want her to turn.

i thought this was getting better.

i thought we were winning.

it’s not safe for us to stay.

each for our own now.

we’ve got enough food and water to last us.

you won’t get in without me.

you lied to me my whole life.

they did nothing when they came for us.

who are we counting as family?

what is family now?

you might as well kill me now.

he cuts me. he mutilates me.

i will help you find your family.

just cut me loose. please.

i don’t want to have to shoot you.

you should save your ammunition.

you’ll see where doing the right thing gets you.

if things go sideways – if you see anything – you drive.

you’re gonna be okay.

take care of her, okay?

would you rather they all died?

i don’t want anyone to die.

you can’t save everyone.

if they’re dead, they’ll just keep walking, right?

it’s alright. they’re slow.

please, kill me.

the infection took her.

there’s nothing left to see.

i’ll take you with my family, but we need your help.

the dead will hear you and they will come.

you don’t have to do this, okay?

just put the gun down.

we can follow the river down to the sea.

generators kick on when the power dies.

i feel strange.

we don’t know where we’re going.

it’s like i’ve been living like this for a long time, and now everyone is catching up with me.

the only way to survive a mad world is to embrace the madness.

it doesn’t matter how you die. you come back.

don’t let that happen to me.

Are they religious or spiritual? 

Connor has never believed in a higher power, it seems too good and unrealistic. Especially with the downfall of life itself it’s simply something he cannot believe in.

( jake gyllenhaal. 36. he/him. ) we spotted CONNOR MURPHY in the wilds today, just another gear in the machine of the apocalypse. i heard he chose to go ROGUE for the end of the world. i guess it fits, seeing as he known to be cunning & articulate, as well as vindictive & crass. they often have i think i’m okay by mgk/yungblud stuck in their head while they hunt. i wonder if they’re prepared for what’s coming ? 

hey loves i’m lucky! this is 1/2 of my muses i’ve brought into this hellish world, tap the heart and we can plot!

tw death, tw alcoholism

born & raised in the south end of boston to a single mother in poverty

practically raised himself with some help from his uncle, having to steal and rummage his way through life

got into fighting at an early age, soon making money off his skill set and used the funds to make a living

opened his own gym in a small studio and it was enough for him, still competed in underground fights to make an extra buck, he’s great with his hands

lived a very solitude life, had a very small group of friends with little time for relationships, they tended to lead to vulnerability and connor just wasn’t used to opening up

acquired quite the drinking habit at 18 having never confronting his demons which only grew as the years went on

had one serious girlfriend who he ended up leaving due to his inability to commit, he’d rather keep people at a distance

when the outbreak began he didn’t trust what he was hearing, he thought it was just crazy talk, something out of a movie

it wasn’t until he went to check on his mom that he found her dead, her body completely ripped apart and a figure hunched over her, he was able to take the infected down with a gun he had strapped to his chest

boston being as populated as it was proved to be incredibly difficult to flee and in fact he wasn’t able to get out of the state for quite some time and this forced him to only make it to new hampshire, hiding out in an old campground 

once the seasons begun to change he had to move, quick. using his survival skills he was able to acquire a dirt bike, giving him the ease of moving through the woods at a rate faster than he was going

after having to ditch the bike for lack of gas connor moved in silence, traversing states in matters of months, never staying anywhere longer than he needed to, this brought him to texas

connor never favored the idea of grouping up, it was something that seemed collapsable from the start, his trust in others was minimal before the outbreak and this didn’t change after, in fact it only got worse

it didn’t take him long to find the populated camps and at first he was alarmed, he made it an hour north before deciding he had to try and see what they had to offer. 

connor is currently held up in a cave almost twenty minutes from camp serotonin, he’s set up a small campsite that is indistinguishable to most with traps set to assure his safety

his survival skills have grown since the start of the infection leaving him to be incredibly lethal

he doesn’t travel with groups, he favors solitude and will act with aggression if snuck up on

angsty boi

thx for getting through this mess
