The silence that followed after Kyleigh's question was all that the other woman would need to know that Magna had never been sent to the Warden's office. And even if she had, this place was so huge, she probably wouldn't be able to find her way to that office without trouble. Magna exhaled deeply as Kyleigh went on, the woman's words beginning to anger her for reasons she didn't know. She was so glad she didn't tell her to shut up, because she almost did, but she knew they couldn't afford to lose their temper and fight with each other when neither of them would make it out on their own. Think, fucking think, where the fuck are the maps..

Staring at the screen proved to be useless, Magna thought, because it was impossible to say which one of those many offices was the Warden's office. She felt like throwing something at the screens in frustration just right before it dawned upon her. "There's a map right where the fire exit is!", Magna exclaimed. She remembered that. She remembered that fire drill from three months ago, when they had accessed the backyard of the prison through the fire exit. Remembered the large map on the wall, and remembered what one of the staff had said. While rambling of the history of this place, she had mentioned the number of the exits. "We got four fire exits. If whoever built this place had any brains, there should be maps near all of them!"

Magna remained silent for a moment, a hand running through her hair as she tried to think of how to get to one of the damn exits. How stupid it was they had to navigate the prison blindly to get a map. The irony of it threatened to make her puke again.

"The gaming room", Magna began, breathless, "I was there when the alarm began to ring for our fire drill a few months ago."

She closed her eyes for a moment, as if traveling back to the past. "They had those automated instructions that would play, giving you the directions to the nearest fire exit. It was.."

Damn it. Magna didn't remember shit. Placing a frustrated hand to her aching forehead, she realized that she didn't remember the verbal instructions. All she had was her muscle memory. She knew that if she were in the hallway with the door leading to the gaming room, though, she would be able to get to that fire exit intuitively. Magna could pull off things like that - or else, she probably would've died in this shithole a long time ago.

"What I'm saying is - I know there's a fire exit near the gaming room." Magna told Kyleigh, her voice finally taking on a gentler tone as the frustration began to think now that the puzzle pieces were coming together. She pointed to a room on the screens with billiard tables. "See? That's the gaming room." Her eyes widened as she took note of how the surrounding screens looked. Lucky for her, the door was soundproof, or her loud exclamation would've drawn attention as it all began making sense to her. "Oh Jesus! The screens are arranged in a system!"

The whole fucking time, Magna had not once thought about whether those screens were randomly arranged or not. They weren't.

"The gaming room's next to Ms Kowalski's office, on the left", Magna pointed out, gesturing to the image of said woman's office, a screen which was just above the gaming room's screen and to the right. She moved her hand to point to another screen showing a prison gym. "See that room here? The gym? That gym's next to her office too, but it's located on the right. And on the screens? It's one screen to the left, and above it. It seems to follow the same patterns for the other rooms. I knew that religious room was to the library's right side - on the screens it's left to the library, and right above it. The kitchen? You can only get there through the cafeteria. On the screens, the kitchen is right below the cafeteria. The same principle applies to the way the screens of other jointed rooms like that are arranged."

Retrieving the map she'd drawn from her bag and a pencil, she glanced at her new companion. "We don't need to go running around in this shithole like blind women looking for a map. We got one, right on the screens. Time to bring it to paper."

Normally this was the point where Kyleigh would either just let Magna rot in that prison all on her own or throw hands with the way she spoke to her. But after all they had been through in the short time they had been together the half lycan decided to just let it slip right by. She wasn't exactly in the best mood either, already way too hot and sweaty and pissed the hell off that she was in this situation. If only she had just found a car or house to stay in to get away from the storms! But no, she saw the prison and thought it would be the perfect spot! What a fucking jackass she was. Ignoring the rather harsh retort that played in her mind thanks to the wolf, Kyleigh took a deep breath and centered herself.

"That's what I'm trying to put together. As long as we have an exit we have something to shoot for. Right now we just need a way to get there."

She tried to say it as calmly as she could, though now that she got a second glance at those monitors she could see why it looked like it was impossible to do. There were more of those freaks in there than she originally thought, and opening up very heavy doors was a sure bet to luring them too close for comfort. "Yes, a distraction would be amazing! Maybe try to herd them all into a couple of the rooms and shut them in there." That was one way to go about it, but how would they do that from where they were now? Kyleigh knew how to get the electrical working, she didn't know what each specific button did.

Magna's words caused the half lycan to glance up at the ceiling. For fuck's sake not those damn vents again! However it seemed as if they were the safest route at the moment. Thinking over the other woman's words Kyleigh began to move around the room in search for a map. There had to be one somewhere in this place. In case repairs were needed, or someone did get up there for some other stupid reason. She opened up all the desk drawers and pushed shit around. Mostly papers, pens, the typical office supply things.

"There has to be a master map or something in this prison, one of the offices. If they had maintenance it might be there. Or the warden's place. You ever get sent there?"

If Magna knew where that was and how to get there they could try that, but they would have to go on foot and face whatever might come their way.

"All that's in here are files and reports, nothing that we can really use. I don't want to go back up in those things without some sort of direction to head in. We could always just get up there and whenever we get to one of the vents look down and see where we are. But we could be there all day so I don't think we should do that…"

Before she went into a full blown, panic ridden rant, Kyleigh stopped herself and let out a long breath. That would only lead to the both of them getting killed and she was not doing that. "Alright, just keep looking. Any kind of map will do, but if we have to we'll just have to take a guess for which direction to go in. I don't know about you but I don't want to die in here and be trapped forever as one of those things."

⛅  Do you believe aesthetics are another form of expression?

Yes, definitely! Icons can help visualize the story, playlists as well, and I think music can describe things you can't in words, moodboards too.

☯ Do you believe you’re a forgiving person?

I will apply this to RP since this is what these questions seem to be about - I absolutely don't mind my RP partners taking breaks, sometimes taking a bit too long or giving a shorter reply once in a while than I did. In that case, there is nothing to forgive. But there are some boundaries I have that can't be broken, or I will not want to write with that person. So far, it hasn't happened very often that I had to block someone, and I think my boundaries are very reasonable.

☢ What calms you down after negativity?

RP negativity? Just knowing that there are plenty of other roleplayers out there. Their portrayal is never going to be the only one.

☠ What keeps you happy?

Knowing that I currently have reliable, sweet RP partners.

☘ Is there anything that makes you instantly want to follow someone?

When I see someone's blog and I could see their muse interacting with mine, and they have some well-written, high-effort posts up. It doesn't matter if it lacks icons or if their theme is basic or whatever, I don't care about that. I just had it happen so often that people would follow me, plot something, then vanish and when I checked their blog I'd see that they had absolutely no writing at all. So if I see someone is putting in effort, I instantly want to follow them, providing the muse works for me.

☆ What are some the perks with the fandom you’re currently in?

It works well for crossovers. You can write TWD characters against muses from other apocalypse verses.

♦ How has roleplaying on Tumblr improved since you started out?

I have found some cool people!

⚓ Are there any small details you tend to like in roleplays?

I like it when I get to find out some little things about my partner's muse through their writing. They can be very meaningful. Or when my RP partner and I start to mirror each other's RP styles a bit. That's very cool.

☀ What’s the best thing about roleplaying?

Probably that you get to explore parts of your characters never revealed in canon, only hinted at and kept a mystery. You get to write how relationships evolved, and you get to feel it more deeply than from watching (because TV can never be as detailed as writing), and there is also the excitement of getting replies. You never know what happens. Two of you shape a story, and it can go into any direction.

⛵ What genres do you like writing the most?

Obviously survival/horror, but also angst, drama, action-adventure, hurt/comfort.

☺  What tends to bring out your muse the most? What inspires you?

I get inspiration from Pinterest, music, YouTube scene packs, taking walks, and I find that I get to bring out Magna best when I'm actually getting to write her against someone who likes detailed posts just as much as I do.

A - Affection: How affectionate are they during sex? Is it different with people they're romantically involved with? Can they sleep with people they aren't?

She's very affectionate with a woman she is romantically involved with! She'll go out of her way to spoil her girlfriend. Magna has slept with women she wasn't in a relationship in. With a woman she is just hooking up with, she is less affectionate, but she will still show affection because Magna wants to get her partner excited for her and feel safe. How tender or rough her affection is will vary depending on the partner, but for casual sex she likes it rougher (with a hint of tenderness).

B - Body: Are they into a specific physique? Why or why not? Are they just preferences or complete turn offs?

Magna has liked women with different body types. She doesn't have a strict preference. She likes petite, muscular, curves. All of it.

D - Dominance: Are they into those types of power dynamics? Or do they like to stick to whose topping and bottoming? If they are into it why? If they aren't why not?

She has always been leaning dominant. She just likes being in control. Having her partner beg for her or pinning them down is just a huge turn on for her.

K - Kiss and Tell: Do they talk about their sex life to others? If they do do they go into detail or are they more casual about it? Do they share photos with other people or are those private?

Magna won't. She only talks about her sex life (preferences and such) with a girlfriend. And she would absolutely never share any photos with other people.

L - Licking: Do they enjoy using their tongue on their partners or is it too gross? If so what are their favorite places to use their tongue?

Magna will always go down, it turns her on. She also likes going for her partner's neck, inner thighs and stomach.

M - Masturbation: Is it a part of sex for your muse? Or is it something completely different? Do they enjoy watching their partner or being watched?

She'd probably watch her partner. And she might do it in front of her partner to tease them.

N - Nope: Do they enjoy orgasm denial or do they want to see how many times they can make their partner cum? Somewhere in-between?

Magna would never deny it (or let someone deny hers), but she likes to draw it out for her partner. And give her multiple.

Q - Quiet: Do they enjoy trying to see how long their partner can last without making a sound? Do they enjoy loud or quiet partners?

As long as her partner is pleased, she doesn't care much.

R - Risk: Are they into some risky kinks? (breath play, exhibitionism, blood play, etc.) If so what are their favorites? Do they practice them safely?

Magna has absolutely none of these.

T - TMI: Your opportunity to talk about any dirty thing you want to talk about with your muse. Could be kinks they like or just facts.

Magna's first hook-up was at the truck stop where she worked at. The girl was a regular customer and has been eyeing her up for a while, so Magna decided to make a move.

U - Underwear: Do they enjoy lingerie or dressing up for their partner? Or is it too much of a hassle? Favorite garments to wear? Do they ever go without underwear?

She will dress up for her partner if they ask her to, but she wouldn't wear something like heels or a corset unless asked for. Magna will go for a nice lace bra.

X - X Ray: What's going on under your muse's clothes? Do they have any special scars or places they like to be touched or avoided? Describe their physique and anything else you'd like to expand on.

She likes having her ass grabbed, hips touched and her waist. The only place she doesn't like her partner to touch is her throat. I like to think Magna is pretty fit from the lifestyle she's lead - muscular thighs, toned arms. Not buff, but she's got muscle.

Y - Yes: Do they have any specific turn ons? Things that will automatically make your muse say yes to sleeping with someone else. If not what are some other things that get them in a more romantic mood? Lighting? Dinner?

Dinner definitely helps to get things romantic for Magna! But also working out together or having her partner wear something sexy.

Z - Zones: Favorite places they like to be touched? Are some less obvious than others? Any places they absolutely hate being touched?

See above. Likes: Waist, ass, hips. Dislikes: Throat.

[laskar1s]

Kyleigh's theory made sense. Maybe by the time they had finished patching themselves up, they heard that old couple banging on the door and decided to leave rather than fight them. The safer choice, two of them at once was just too much if they were right behind a door, especially if you had an injury. "They could've left through the window right here. Maybe they're still nearby. If they're still alive. You don't make it far without a vehicle."

That was a big if. Magna had seen people leave this world so ridiculously quickly, she was already counting on them being dead, anyway. She's been in entire groups just a while ago, entire groups that had succumbed to the undead.

Their next room, the old couple's bedroom, hadn't been as much of a gold mine. Well.. that was the law of averages, wasn't it? Unsurprisingly, it didn't have any food, nor any hygiene products like the bathroom had. Nothing but clothes too small for Magna, except for a sweater she took with her in case it ever got cold outside and some underwear and socks. She'd been hoping to find a firearm somewhere, but she wasn't surprised those two didn't have that kind of stuff. Seeing that the rest of the objects within the room were nothing but decor or books (one about foraging mushrooms, but Magna didn't bother to check the bookshelf), she was about to leave the place, but the sight of two wallets inside the bedside table drawer made her want to check its contents. Money was useless nowadays, but something within her just wanted her to know those people's names. Gladys and Otto McCluskey. She couldn't help but almost flinch when she saw their organ donor cards. The universe had a cruel sense of humor. They seemed to have been good people, judging by some of the photos in their bedroom showing the charity work they'd done.

"I found car keys", Magna remarked, holding up a key with a Volkswagen keychain. "Let's pry this garage open. Got any idea how we could pull that off?"

She'd known thieves from the prison, of course. There had been one lady that had managed to pry open garages and steal people's cars by using a coat hanger. But Magna didn't know much about stealing, aside from a few times she'd shoplifted clothes as a teenager. That seemed to be more Kyleigh's area of expertise.

Happy that they at least got some new clothes from that room and some writing supplies (never know when those might come in handy), Kyleigh nodded when Magna said they should get moving. The daylight was fading fast and the last thing she wanted was for either one of them to have to spend the night in this house. She wasn't sure about the other woman but she could still smell the rotted bodies of that couple and the other random dead person, so she would like to get out into some sort of fresh air. It was smart of Magna to close the door behind them too. No need for that severed arm to start crawling to them like something straight out of a nightmare.

Waiting quietly while Magna took the honors once more of opening up the next door, the half lycan wondered just how long this was going to last. Sure they were getting along now but what happened when that wore off? When one of them stepped too far over a hidden line or decided they wanted to go off on their own? Kyleigh knew at some point she would have to, unless she told Magna what she was. That would either get her killed or deemed insane and left by the side of the road like a bag of trash. Before she could decide Kyleigh caught the faint smell of blood, causing her eyes to focus in on the blood stains. Hmmm, that was an interesting twist.

"But they left everything else untouched? That doesn't make any sense unless they just wanted to fix themselves as best as they could and get the hell out." She hadn't noticed any previous injuries on the dead one that got it's hand stuck in the door but then again she hadn't really been looking either. Whatever the case was Kyleigh was going to remain on high alert. Blood like that came from a living person, and she was not in the mood to take one of those out.

Letting Magna go through the bathroom without interruption, a small smile crept its way across Kyleigh's face. She never imagined she would get to use soap and hair care products again, but she damn sure was not going to leave them sitting there to rot. True they couldn't take the large bottles, but maybe she could go back to the kitchen and find something smaller to put the stuff in. A small linen closet was hidden behind the shower stall and that was full with things as well. Different size towels, wash cloths, razors, even a damn shower cap. Grabbing a few of each they were stuffed into Kyleigh's bag as well before she turned back to her companion.

"Maybe they were afraid of that couple and didn't want to take the chance of staying too long. It's their loss really."

Kind of cold to think that way, but leaving a gold mine like this behind was just stupid. But also, what if it was a trap? Put the old couple in the window to lure people in (because who would be afraid of old dead people), let them grab what they could then take them out. Kyleigh didn't voice her thoughts however. The two of them had enough grief since the prison, they didn't need any more.

Once she was sure that Magna had gotten what she wanted Kyleigh began to move towards the last door on their journey. She could smell cement, old wood and the usual smells that came from a garage. This was it, time to see how this room paid off.

[laskar1s]

What seemed like an unbearable weight upon Magna's shoulders seemed to lessen upon hearing that the other woman didn't blame her. Not that it erased the guilt, but now it no longer felt as if it was taking over her senses. Being the only one alive had done things to her. Had her question whether her survival had been some cruel cosmic joke. Why had she, of all people, survived? And had it really been luck? Every time she pondered how she'd made it this far, she came to the conclusion that she must've gotten lucky. But maybe it was punishment that Magna would live long enough just to see the worst of it. Maybe the ones that had been the first ones to go had never been the unlucky ones. Never having to see the cruelty among the prisoners, the diminishing numbers of survivors and the increasing masses of the undead.

Maybe she would go out in the worst moment because of all the shit she's done.

Her heart threatened to explode as she caught sight of a few sickos tearing into the flesh of a body in one of the bathrooms, the movement of a leg being the only indicator that this person was still alive. Shit.

Had she caused this? Had she lured that survivor into a death trap because she'd triggered the alarm?

Magna didn't even have the capacity to really think this through, the thought quickly fading from her mind, but the feeling of anxiety remaining in her chest. Her attention quickly shifted to Kyleigh, pointing to the visitor room.

"We need a plan", she shot back, sharper than she intended to, but more with an edge of desperation rather than anger directed towards the woman. "Opening that electronic door is gonna make noise." She knew it did. She's heard them opening a few times, back when the main power was still on. "I don't want those dead fuckers blocking the way. Maybe we can cover the noise. Broadcast a message to another room, clear the path."

The sound of Magna's deep sigh was drowned out by the shrill alarm, as she braced herself to sneak through the vents again. Hopefully for the last time. She hoped there wouldn't be a fan again - she guessed that fan from earlier had been there to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from the back-up generator. "If we could only figure out into which damn direction to crawl," Magna commented, expression as surly as her tone. "I'd kill so many of them for a goddamn map."

There was no real need to thank Kyleigh for what she had done. Saving a life that deserved to be saved was just second nature to her now, though if that had happened out in the world she wasn't so sure she would have done it. Not with someone she just ran into, but Magna wasn't just someone. She was a living, thinking, feeling human being that deserved to see the outside once again. It was bad enough the world had just left her in this prison to die, she didn't need to get shit on even more. Sitting back to give her some air the half lycan finally took a few deep breaths and allowed herself to process the fact that she had killed once more. It was one of those sick things yeah, but it was still a life taken. At least this time she didn't feel that familiar guilt after, the high of the hunt slowly wearing off to once more fill her with that dull ache to do it again.

"Welcome to the world of the dead where nothing ever goes right." Kyleigh replied with a bit of a smirk, grabbing her knife and cleaning it off on the dead person before putting it back on her hip.

Once Magna was back up on her feet so was Kyleigh, searching for something she might be able to do to get that damn alarm to shut off. She wasn't afraid it was going to attract more of those freaks, that was going to happen no matter what. She just wanted it to stop, to go back to that beautiful silence for a few minutes. Eventually she found her way over to the same large desk the other woman was at, her eyes taking in the sights that felt like they were straight out of a nightmare. It seemed as if every screen she looked at had the dead in it, but now at least they had some way to figure out a better exit. Maybe take the route that had the least of them, or find out where the vents led to and continue on that journey. Shaking her head at the number Magna recited she felt a strange sadness for all of those that were locked away. Magna being the only one still alive must have fucked with her head and the resulting anger that kept coming out became even more justified.

"They could have at least opened everything up for you guys if they weren't going to attempt to get you out themselves."

It might not have made any difference, it might have made all the difference in the world. Humans were always such selfish creatures, it just hit a new level once their own began to turn on them. Shifting her focus back onto trying to find a way out now that they had some visual guidance, Kyleigh wondered if it had been smart of her to get that generator back on. She didn't want to go back and try to shut it down, but she couldn't take that damn alarm.

"I've seen enough movies about prison escapes that I should have known they would have one too, but with the power being down I figured they would never run again. It's not your fault Magna, you want out of here just as much as I do. And I came into this place on my own." If she was meant to die there then that was how she was meant to die. She didn't want that of course, but things happened for a reason.

Glancing more closely at one of the rooms, it must have been where all of the electric devices could manually be turned off and on, the half lycan began to form a plan. "Wait, that's the main electric room right there." Her finger pointed to the one she was looking at. "If we could get to that one I could flip the switch to not only turn this damn alarm off but to open all the electronically controlled doors and gates. Which means that if we could find a way to get to the front of the prison, we could get out."

Now it would take some careful planning, the two of them would have to figure out which route to take with the least amount of the dead in it. No more vents, that was for sure. But maybe if they stayed in the open hallways and kept all the doors closed it would work.

"There!" Kyleigh pointed towards the room that allowed visitors. She knew from experience that visitors were only allowed one way in and one way out of the prison. If they could get to that area unharmed they would have a clear shot at freedom. "It doesn't have too many of those freaks in it either. We hit that electrical room, then the visitor area and we could get the hell out of here!"

Magna had barely been able to register what had happened in between those moments of her fighting for her life and that sensation of a towel on her skin. It had all unfolded so rapidly that she wasn't able to truly remember everything accurately. It all felt like blurry fragments of a whole image. But that sicko lying still on the ground with a large wound on the side of its head and Kyleigh's presence told her everything. Her new companion had just saved her skin. "Thanks," Magna muttered as she sat up, words she knew were small given what Kyleigh had just done. She knew that driving a knife through the base of a sicko's skull wasn't a big obstacle for someone like her. Magna had seen her do it with such efficiency that she knew it was the last thing that would stop her from saving someone. What she'd done really hadn't been a big deal, had it? Anyone with common sense should've done it. But after everything Magna has seen in the prison, she hadn't expected any help at all. She had been prepared to die.

"When the hell do I ever get to feel alright?", Magna retorted. "One fucking mess after another."

The brunette sat still for a little while longer before the shrill sound of the alarm systems just became too much, feeling like they were threatening to make her sensory system explode. There was so much going on at once that for a moment, she forgot that they've made their first big step.

Standing up, she began to wander around the room, taking everything in. She had never seen such a huge desk or so many screens in one place. With so many screens filling the room, Magna wasn't even sure where to look first. Releasing a frustrated breath, her eyes scanned the screens, but to Magna it all seemed like they were infested with those things, their sheer numbers making it hard for Magna to recognize what room that had once been. "One thousand three hundred and seventy-seven of us, and none of us were evacuated", she spoke, Magna's voice as bitter as it could come.

As she tried to think of how to disable those systems, Magna's mind just drew a blank. Why had she never even thought of the damn alarm? Why? How could she be so fucking dumb? As she gazed on a screen displaying a yard, a part of her - the most self-loathing part that existed within her - wished she would've been torn apart by that fan instead. Sure seemed better than being torn apart because you triggered an alarm. It hadn't failed to lure in more dead from the outside. Large masses of them were already pushing against the prison fences in a desperate attempt to get in, but Magna could see that more and more of them were coming.

"I should've known it. We're screwed. Everything's full of them, and I was so fucking dumb not to warn you about our alarm system. Jesus, I'm sorry for getting you into this mess." A hand touched her forehead, lightly tapping against it, but in reality she wanted to slap herself.

It completely eluded Magna that they had options. Not every room was filled with them, but how could she spot that so easily among all that chaos?

A closer look at those screens would reveal that there were several possibilities, if you just figured out a way to use what was in the rooms. There was the control room, a room that featured both the public announcement systems which could be used to send messages to any room or area, and the control systems for the electronic doors. Electronic doors could be found in many places - the solitary confinement cells had them, but they were also in a couple of hallways.

Aside from that, they had more electronic devices that could be turned on via the generator room they had been in earlier. That massive meat grinder in the kitchen that always made that ugly, loud noise. Or the large freezer which also had a camera, as if some prisoner would do something forbidden in a freezer. Even the outside area had an electronic gate.

She knew what she was asking was a lot, Kyleigh could smell the fear and uncertainty pouring out of Magna, and rightfully so. But what other choice did she have? Take this giant risk and hope that it worked or go back the way they came and possibly starve to death, become one of those freaks out there? Their freedom was so close the half lycan could taste it, and as much as she wanted to beg Magna to take that leap of faith with her she knew she couldn't. Hopefully the woman's desire to get the hell out of this prison was a lot higher than the fear of being chopped to pieces by a fan.

After what felt like hours but was probably only a few seconds in real time Magna's arms shout through the fan towards Kyleigh and she held onto them as if they were the most precious things on this earth. "Good, yes just like that!" A soft encouragement came, Kyleigh praying that it showed Magna that she could be trusted and that there was no way she was going to allow either one of them to die as long as they were together. Bracing herself as best she could Kyleigh pulled with all her strength that she had left and was able to get Magna through the space in one piece. As soon as she was through Kyleigh let out a loud breath and laid back, for the second time that day actually feeling a bit of hope that they were going to be alright.

Once the brief respite was over they continued moving on until it seemed as if Magna literally crashed through to the floor below, able to roll so that she didn't harm herself in the fall. Kyleigh followed quickly, taking a few seconds to pull some fresh air into her burning lungs. Shit how long had all of that been going on? She realized in those few seconds of peace that she was starving once more, the scent of a living person in Magna filling her nose. It had been weeks since she had been able to properly hunt anything other than deer and a few squirrels… No, now was not the time for that. This woman was a friend, someone who had shown her bravery many times over in the few hours they had known each other. She was off limits no matter how hungry Kyleigh felt.

The soft buzz of the bright lights was quickly drowned out by Magna's scream, snapping Kyleigh back into reality. Shit! Where had that one come from?! How had she not known it was there? Were her senses becoming that dull due to lack of food? Shaking her head to clear the cobwebs in it the half lycan jumped to her feet, grabbing her knife in the process. She knew Magna was fully capable of handling this but given their weakened states and the shock of what they had just been through probably taking whatever was left that out of her there was no way she was going to get that rotter off of her in time. Forgetting for the moment that all of this noise might have even attracted more of them Kyleigh's feet carried her swiftly to Magna's side. With a loud grunt she shoved the un-living monster off the other woman, not wanting her to get its mess all over her and plunged her knife into the side of its head. The jaws stopped snapping, the body thudded to the ground, and allowed silence to fill the room once more.

"Hey, you alright?" Kyleigh immediately turned her attention back to Magna, placing her knife down beside the dead body for the moment. Her hands came up to push some of the woman's hair out of her face, seeing first hand that she was dripping with sweat and God knew what else. Pulling her bag to the front of her body once more she reached in and grabbed a smaller towel, wiping away at Magna's skin.

[laskar1s]

"Right, let's get going," Magna responded. The stench of that thing was already giving her a headache. Once Kyleigh and her were both out of the room, Magna closed the door behind her, the torn off arm on the floor right by the door another reminder of the brutality that had taken place in this house. Right above it, there hung a picture on a wall, which must once have been that man they had just taken out.

Two more rooms to go. The next one had been the bathroom. Thin as the door was, this time, Magna was cautious enough to knock first so she would be able to hear whether it was occupied or not. Giving Kyleigh a nod, she opened the door, still quietly and slowly, just in case. She was relieved to see that the place was mostly clean. She couldn't smell that too familiar rotten stench of sickos, nor was there a dead body inside, whether actually dead or walking. The only thing that served as a reminder of the world they lived in were the blood stains all over the place, stretching from the floor to the sink.

"This blood isn't too old", Magna noted, brows furrowing. It wasn't still wet or anything, but the color was bright red. "With all that sunlight exposure, that blood here should have turned brown within a few hours", the brunette went on, her gaze drifting to the large window. "Someone was here recently."

Squatting down, she picked up a safety pin for the floor. "Looks like someone got hurt, maybe bandaged themselves up, dropped a safety pin on the floor and either was in too much of a hurry to get it or just forgot about it."

It was just a theory. But that blood definitely wasn't sicko blood. As toxic as their blood was, it always left a rotten stench in the air. Given the amount of blood, Magna had the feeling it might just be another case of false hope again, like when she thought they'd found another survivor at the prison, but it turned out to be a sicko. Maybe someone had been bitten or something, in which case they would turn soon if they hadn't already. Whoever this was might as well be dead now. But if they had survived and the world out there was anything like Kyleigh said, they needed to stay alert.

"I'm quickly gonna check the shelves over there. Whatever happened, we need to watch out."

Shoving the safety pin into a pocket, Magna took note of the amount of products stored by the bathtub. A couple bottles of shampoo, body wash, even conditioner and shaving cream. "These bottles are too large, but maybe we can find some smaller bottles and refill everything."

Opening the shelves had been a pleasant surprise, too. Laundry detergent, curd soap, mouthwash, even unused chapstick, dental floss, sunscreen, moisturizer, they had it all. Enough of everything that both of the women could take stuff with them without having to get into any arguments about who gets to get what. She took as much as she could, only leaving the large bottles in the shelves as they took up too much weight and space. She never thought she would feel so pleased to find something like foot powder. Who knew what kind of fucked up diseases wet and cold feet could get you nowadays?

"Whoever was here didn't have much time, or they would've taken this stuff with them. Or they were stupid."

Checking the small pedal cosmetic bin, she soon spotted a few smaller empty cosmetic bottles, which had been exactly what she had been hoping to find.

Damn, why hadn't Kyleigh thought of looking for new clothes? As soon as Magna mentioned them she glanced down at her own getup, the same things she had on since a few days before they met at the prison. And to think of all the shit they had been through since then. Those vents they had crawled through, the grounds they had slept on, the sweat and whatever other fluids that had gotten on them as they walked. It was enough to make her want to throw up but Kyleigh forced it back since she wasn't about to waste the little bit of food she had just eaten. When she looked up and saw that Magna was in between shirts she quickly turned her gaze away. No there wasn't really a need for shyness in this world, but Kyleigh still felt like it was the right thing to do. And no she wasn't about to be picky about what the other woman had found.

Raising an eyebrow at the choice of pants that Magna was seemingly suggesting she wear, Kyleigh actually did think about it for a few seconds. "How about I just keep them for later? It's hot out and the last thing I want is to get a rash all over from sweat. Imagine how much that wound sting." Still Magna had a point. What if those things couldn't bite through the material? Also why hadn't anyone else thought of that so far? Then that made another thought cross her mind: what if they found armor? Like bulletproof vests, riot gear, things of that nature. If those things could stop a bullet then they could definitely stop some rotted teeth.

The half lycan did take the pants, stuffing them into the bag she had on. Stepping right beside her companion she began to dig around in another box of clothes, smiling when she found a small pair of dark jeans. At least those would hide the stains. Looking up at the shirt she was shown she actually thought about it for a second then laughed.

"Not before, I loved a nice piece of steak and some chicken. But now, I mean I wouldn't say no to it. Fresh clothes are rare these days, so you take what you can get."

Speaking of Kyleigh quickly changed into the clean pants, letting out a sigh when they fit. A bit snug around her hips, but after being worn for a few days they would probably loosen right up. Digging around some more she was able to get a clean shirt and even some socks but the sneakers she found were way too big for her feet. Typical.

"If there is a car in that garage and we can get it going, we should definitely fill it up with whatever we find in this house. The rest of them might not be as good as this one was." Probably wouldn't have much food either but she tried not to think about that for the time being.

01.     pockets. 07.     medicine cabinet. 15.     bookcase. 16.     cd collection. 24.     first aid kit.  30.     netflix watch history. 

01.     pockets.

A bobby pin to pick locks, a pencil to write stuff down, hidden throwing knives (she doesn't get those until later in the apocalypse).

07.     medicine cabinet.

At the Commonwealth she'd have all the essentials, but in her early apocalypse days her stack is very limited (and there's no cabinet). In the last few threads I've written Magna in, she has absolutely no medicine with her. Poor Magna.

15.     bookcase.

At the Commonwealth, she'd try to get as many books as she can. Probably books she won't even read. Any lesbian historical romance books, historical dramas, Greek mythology books and some fantasy books. I feel like she'd like Percy Jackson.

16.     cd collection.

Grimes, Sunrise Avenue, Arctic Monkeys, Half Moon (unbeknownst to her this is Beta, she listens to it on the show), The Doors, Pink Floyd, Motörhead, Metallica. She would only have those if she were at the Commonwealth though, or back in her old abandoned home, but not in the communities or other shelters she stayed during all those apocalypse years.

24.     first aid kit. 

The basics. Bandages, antiseptic, a thermal blanket and whatever you need to not die out there.

30.     netflix watch history. 

If she watched modern shows (I know some of those were released after the outbreak, so Magna wouldn't watch them in regular TWD verse, but she would have liked them if they existed alright): Dexter, The Fall, Russian Doll, The OA, Orange Is The New Black (I'm sorry for the cliche pick), Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Stranger Things, Orphan Black, South Park, Rick and Morty.
