Thread: Cities of Dust (SugarPlumCoatedGun x Lotherio)

It was impossible for anyone to have predicted what would happen to the world, even doctors or scientists. In the eyes of many hell had literally spewed through the cracks of the earth's surface and it was unleashed mercilessly on the human race in the eyes of others it was the prefect opportunity to make something of themselves, to be what they always wanted to be. Of course, some managed to take that too far they killed, they raped, they beat, they stole, anything that had once been illegal was now an option for everyone and anyone to take. The day was a hot one. The sun was beating down on with a stuffy humidity that would make the fittest person sweat. Since the earth had pretty much gone to shit, the weather had been acting stranger and stranger each day bright and sunny one minute, then pissing down the next. You could see the heat in the air if you concentrated for too long, everything became fuzzy and streaks lined the open space. The people changed just like the weather, though that was to be expected. You had some of them who clung to others and formed groups to try and rebuild some sort of civilization. Then you had the crazies who turned to god for answers and blamed him for their mistakes it had turned into a hard world. Among the rubble of a nearby building that was tall enough still to shelter the small patch of ground under it was a redhead who appeared to be laying low and scouting out the area in front of her. Her sights were set on a group of buildings one could refer to as a strip mall it included shops that not only she could salvage from, but also that would satisfy her needs as well. Standing up from her crouched position, the girl stretched her legs and let out a small sigh while brushing off the front of her. Alexis had been sent out to gather anything she could find that would help her groups situation one of the females had gotten sick, so medical supplies were needed as well as supliments. In moments she had darted across the edge of the street and she advanced around the back of the building to find a less open entrance that were known as the front doors. Alexis was pale and her cheeks and nose were dotted with the freckles that came with most red heads. She had long red hair that curled naturally to the middle of her back and although she loved it, it sometimes got in the way with her new life not that James -- the leader of the South Side Falcons would allow her to cut it short. -- She stood at an adverage height of around five foot six by the looks of it and was slender with curves in all the right places. Before the crisis she was pleased god had gifted her with such a body. Lexi was dressed in a pair of short denim shorts that were easy to move around in and a red, low cut vest top that was tight fitted around her waist and on top of it all she wore a overly large leather jacket that had a falcons head patched onto the back as well as a reach strap around the left arm it wasn't hers, of course, it was James's. When she ran into him he had pretty much claimed her as his own woman, though they weren't dating in her eyes. On her feet were a pair of flat, beige cowboy boots that stopped just below her knee's practical and stylish. Thankfully the back door to one of the stores was open and she slipped inside, shutting it almost as quietly as she had entered. Tied around one of her thighs with a brown leather strap was a small knife encased in a leather pouch she had been given this incase of any trouble and for her own self defence. Clearing her throat lightly, the girl glanced around with bright blue eyes and noticed she had entered the lingerie store. Her face immidiatly brightened and she started over towards one of the rails where she flicked through a few bra's. It had been ages since she had gotten any new underwear and to make her even happier, that used to be one of the most expensive stores in town. Unzipping her large, over the shoulder bag, she stuffed in a couple of sets of panties and bras after pressing them against her body to see if they fit. Alexis exited through the front of the store this time and her eyes glanced either way before she stepped out onto the street the sun was unbareable. To her left was a computer repair store, so she began towards it with a small sigh. Using her hands, she pushed open the front door and cringed when she heard the small bell ring at her entrance. Lexi paused before advancing towards the desk, which she hopped in the hopes of finding something behind it. Crouching, her hands began to rumage through filled cardboard boxes and the red head had stupidly turned her back on the employee's entrance without thinking.
