He watched, much more confident now that he wasn't going to be the one getting shot here. "Oh yeah, sure. Just be sure to, you know, watch that safety, yeah?"
He repositioned himself and on the branch and got ready. "Don't fuck this up or we are dead." He then added fake-cheerfully, "No pressure."

Sydney pulled out the gun she'd stolen and checked the safety. At his warning, she grimaced. She wasn't 100% confident that she would make this throw. Nevertheless, she had to try. She scooted closer the edge and positioned herself for a good throw. She drew her arm back and- in a moment of self assurance- threw the weapon. It never left her sight as it sailed through the air, a clear shot at the man. With a smirk she mocked, "Don't fuck this up or we're dead, no pressure!"

It was actually a pretty damn good throw, thankfully. Mace didn't have a problem catching it, and in a single motion flicked the safety off and steadied his arm. He could start to feel a light rain pick up, and that was enough to make his face twitch just in the slightest before he fired four rounds, and the two under them were down for the count! Mace mocked proudly, "Pressure doesn't do shit, thanks."
With the light rain came the sound of thunder though, which, kind of added some pressure. He wasn't the smartest man alive or anything, but thunder (or lightning? Who knows) and high places sucked major balls here. Not to mention, he was fairly sure more zombshits were on their way, so that was great too. He clicked the safety back on and started to climb down before stopping halfway; "So buddy-old-pal, what's your plan there?"

Sydney watched in half amazement as he easily took out the two at the tree base. She observed for a moment to see if he would shoot at her. He started climbing down the tree instead, and at his question she shrugged.
Syd jumped when a drop of water flicked her cheek and touched the spot. Rain! She had to get down to collect the fresh water, so she began tugging at her ropes again. This time they were easier to get off. Once she was free, she tied her supply rope to her waist and began shimmying down the trunk. The weight of the bundle would help if she fell, at least she thought. She wasn't the best at physics. Fortunately she didn't fall. She was careful to step past the chompers and let go of the rope so that her supplies came tumbling down. She had almost forgotten about the guy, and spun on her heel to find him. Her gun was out, though very nonthreatening in her shaky hands.

He hit the ground hard, not caring much to take additional time to climb down the tree. The storm was moving fast and, while he was still pissed beyond measure for having his things stolen, that meant he didn't have a lot of time to get back to his rv. Mace looked to the sky and decided that yes, he did have enough time to screw with this kid a bit!
Gun out in hand, he clicked the safety in and off as he casually strolled over to boy and looked him over. He finally clicked the safety one more time and, with the barrel of his own gun, lightly smacked the kid's away from him. He was shaking so bad that if he DID try to shoot, he would be in more danger than Mace would be!!
Mace got right in his face and clicked his tounge and he thought of something nice to say; "If you ever kick me in the balls again, I will shoot yours clean off, you hear me? Beautiful. Now where the shit is my stuff?" The rain started to pick up, and the second he felt it on his face, what little color was on it faded. He took the gun away from the kid as he tried to shield himself from the downpour.

Sydney didn't realize how close he'd gotten and gasped when her gun was pushed away. She took a few steps back, but was stopped by the double dead chompers behind her. She could only shake when the man got in her face. All she could think about was if the guy was going to kill her. Tears pricked her eyes and she nervously hitched a thumb behind her.
The new onslaught of rain made her jump at least a foot in the air, and her gun was easily taken away from her. Pulling her jacket over her head, she watched the guy start to leave. A quick look around told her there was no shelter. A roar of thunder sounded above her and she whimpered. In a moment of desperation, she started running towards the man. "H-hey!" she called through the rain. "Wait up!"

He happily stuck the the kid's gun in his trousers (safety on, he had enough fucking low blows!!) as interest for his stuff. Quite honestly though, his own gun was all he really wanted; the rest they took was just garbage, really. He was kinda pissed over a few missing cans of whatever here and there but... being in a national park, food really wasn't too bad of an issue. The oncoming storm would make hunting and fishing pretty miserable for a few days though...
He was about to just leave this kid to piss his pants until he actually started to follow?? Mace's eyes squinted harshly through the rain while peering back- was this kid serious?? Had he not roughed him up enough? "Wait up for what, exactly?? You to bash my fucking head in again?" His shoes were having a helluva hard time in the now forming mud, but he still trudged away before realizing this kid is still following him.
"What, are you serious?" He called through the rain, but it was downpouring so hard it was pretty lost. The van was only a little ways away, but as he got closer, he realized they were in some deep merde.
A small hoard of about five, on it's way to getting to them most likely, had gotten tangled in the rv's barbed wire while more were certainty on their way in the same direction. While they wormed out, they got themselves pricked more, and were making a mess of the now-accurately named Monster Mash.
He rubbed his face in his hands, now soaking wet, and let out a defeated moan under his palms; "They're bangin' my van!!"

Syd finally caught up and shielded her eyes from the rain to look at the guy. "Hey look, I'm really sorry about that! And for the record, you did attack me first! Look can we just-" Her eye caught what the guy was referring to and her breath caught in her throat. Only for a moment though. She grabbed the man's sleeve and started pulling him away, yelling through the rain, "Who cares about your van, we gotta get out of here!"
Remembering her stuff, she let go of his arm to scamper around her tree. She clumsily gathered as much of her supplies as she could. The rain made everything slick and she dropped her field hockey stick twice. Once she had enough, she ran back out into the open. The ran blurred all the shapes and she couldn't tell who was who (or what was what), making her retreat back to the tree. Scared, she called out, "Hello?! Are you still there?!"

candylepticMace stood froze as his baby torn them to shreds. All was good there but who the hell was going to clean that up?? He started to go towards the kid until he left, and then looked back at his RV again. Would the rain wash away all the blood? The nasty shitters were getting closer but he couldn't tear his eyes from them until- -"Attacked you first??" he shouted, but followed the kid anyway. "YOU broke into my fucking VAN in the first place!" Did this kid even know where he was going?? The rain pelted harder, and thunder started to sound behind them. Fantastic. He let out a groan and tugged the kid in another direction- if they were going anywhere that wasn't his rv, it was going to be as far inland as possible. Sydney squealed, attracting the attention of some chompers, and tripped along behind the man. She was between saying ‘oh thank god’ and ‘please don’t hurt me’, but she finally decided on, “Where are we going?” Eyeing the deadies, she sped up until she was slightly ahead of him. She squeezed her field hockey stick tightly, cringing at the groans through the rain. She suddenly wished her dad was here. candylepticMace looked at her in pure stupor. The squeal? What the fuck was this guy. "Away from water, that's for fucking one!" He called out; but the rain did a fine ass job of making it hard as shit to hear anything. He weaved through a few trees only to slip and fall straight on his ass. He was honestly completely done at this point, and started to get up when he noticed the kid lent a hand to help. He flicked it away with his own and got up before starting to pick up speed again. He had a fair place in mind, but wasn 't exactly sure where it was. After a while of running and trial and error, they finally came to a run down concert hall; it was indoor, mostly because Manitoba's weather was in fact, shit. More importantly though, it was more inland than anywhere else around them. macxcheese Syd gasped when she noticed the man go down and quickly readied her weapon. Seeing that he just slipped though, she held out her hand. He smacked it away and she frowned before shrugging her shoulders. Fine. Be that way. Sydney followed the guy until they came to a concert hall. She hesitated for a moment before realizing that any other option would be much more dangerous, so she scurried behind him. As soon as the cool air in the large room hit her, she shivered. The rain didn’t help, and soon her number one worry was if she was going to get sick. Shouldering one of her bags, she dropped it on the floor and started going through it to find something dry. She placed a can to the side and it occurred to her that it had belonged to the man. Sheepishly, she peered up at him and asked, “Would you like this back?” candylepticHe got the door open with some struggle, and went through first in case his partner here decided to do anything risky again. When the kid was in, he pushed the door closed (or tried to) only to find it get stuck about an inch short. The kid started to go through their pack, he noticed with an untrusting glance, before he went back to pushing at the door again. He finally got the damned thing shut before turning back to the boy. Thankfully the main room- where they sold tickets, he guessed, had a few windows that gave off just enough light to see the kid. " Oh yeah, why don't you include another shot to the nuts with that too? Sounds fantastic!" He shook a hand through his hair in an attempt to get the moisture out. It was almost warm again thankfully, and he was sure in warm months to shave his head. He preferred it shaved to anything else, but when it was cold it was less than comfy. He put his back to the wall and let himself slid down into a sitting position, a good amount of space from the boy opposite. He puffed out an air of frustration before he propped his head on his hand, and then his arm on his knee. Looking at the kid, he blinked boredly. After a moment he let out another sigh, "So you got a name or do you prefer fuckwit?" He kinda decided he liked "fuckwit" anyway, though... macxcheese Sydney frowned at the guy’s remark and almost stuck her tongue out. She barely held it back, in fear that he would punch her. She found a good spot away from him and started whittling at her can with a small knife, only looking up when the guy spoke. She furrowed her brow, pretty done with this asshole. “Syd,” she stated flatly. She pointedly didn’t ask for his name and smiled when the lid popped open. A flash of lightning lit the room and the crash of thunder made Sydney jump. Her heart beat wildly in her chest and she felt her cheeks flush in embarrassment. It was just thunder, nothing else. candylepticMace nodded his head as if that was the most interesting thing he had ever fucking heard, ever! "Great," he said, relatively upbeat. "I'll call you fuckwit, then!" Pleased with himself, he calmly smiled when she jumped. " Awe fuckwit, it's okay. Only thunder." It wasn't even close, didn't she know the second-count-y thing? You count the seconds between and -oh. Thunder struck again. Maybe it was close!! Still, Mace started to hum calmly and took out a lighter and cigarette. He started to light and took a drag before turning to Syd. "Oh," he said, innocently, "Fuckwit! I'm sorry, would you like one? How rude of me," he started going through his bag as if he was actually going to share. " Almost as rude as breaking into somone's fucking rv," he added, very quietly and nonchalantly. macxcheese This time Syd did stick her tongue out, though she quickly replaced it so she could down her soup. She listened to the guy bitch and moan, making a face when he lit a cigarette. “No I don’t want one, I’m already trying not to die from enough things!” she replied. She went to scoop more of the can in her mouth when she heard his little aside. Completely over this tool, and honestly this whole day, she slammed down her can. “Listen here you asshat. I was hungry, and I’m not sure if you noticed but there isn’t a whole lotta good shit in the fucking forest! And anyways, I think you’re just buttsore over the fact that a goddamn GIRL beat you up!!” She crossed her arm’s proudly, satisfied that she’d made her point. Then her face fell as she realized he’d never known about that point in the first place. She scrambled around for her field hockey stick, ready to take action if needed. candylepticHe held his breath during her little spat there, planning to just blow smoke nonchalantly afterwords, but the GIRL comment made him choke on the smoke!!! He laughed and choked for a good moment before beating on his chest. "So what you're telling me, fuckwit, is that you're useless then?" He laughed to himself, "Good to know!" he 'mmmed' as if he was going to say something and took another quick drag before talking, "Pretending to be a boy, shitdamn. Makes sense, you fight like a girl, for cryin' out loud!"

Sydney relaxed a little at his laughter, but it turned to anger at his comment. "Useless? Not only am I a Life Scout, which is only one step under Eagle scout, who knocked who out here? HM??" This guy was such a jerk!! She let out an angry snort and added, "And by 'fight like a girl' I'm sure you mean I fight awesome."

Mace just shook his head; he couldn't even believe this!! After a moment of silence he brushed his pant legs off and got up, putting his hands in the air when he saw her go for her weapon. "Whoa there boy scout, I know better than to mess with you!" He scoffed and added an amused "Hooooly shit" as he peered through the darkness. The ticket booth was deserted but overthrown in a mess- it looked like others had stayed here before, and while there were signs of a struggle, he didn't see any deadfucks, so that was kinda nice.
It was all peace and quiet for a good moment as he took another drag, and then turned to say something to the kid when a hand shattered through one of the windows, spreading glass down to the floor.

macxcheeseSyd crossed her arms, put off by the guys attitude. Which speaking of- She jumped at the sound of breaking glass and screeched. Her hands clumsily scrambled for her weapon, which clattered away from her in the chaos. She rolled as another window crashed open, sending glass to the floor where she’d just been. She tripped backwards until her foot hit her stick and she quickly picked it up. “We gotta get out of here!” she yelled over the groans of the undead. CandyLeptic Mace covered his face (and cigarette!) quickly but was still pricked from the shards of glass. He didn't have time to attend to them now, but a few glass shards stuck out from his skin. He reached for his gun but brought out Syd's instead, which he wasn't familiar with or confident enough to take a shot right away. He crouched down as another window shattered, this time the one behind him rather than across, and he was out of the glass-shard crossfire. "And go where!?" He called back. "If anything we should pick off what we can inside!" The windows were too high for much else to get through other than their hands and faces, and he and her ended up nearly back to back in the center. Mace tapped Syd on the back with her gun, feeling much more comfortable she wasn't going to kill him now (she was a girl, after all)! He pulled out his deagle, clicked the safety off and aimed before taking one's head clean off and de-arming another from his respective window. macxcheeseSydney snatched her gun from him and clicked off the safety. She blasted at a few chompers before realizing something. “We’re wasting ammo!” she stated. “If they can’t get in, why shoot? We should just go further inside!” A very tall zombie got the upper half of his torso through the window, cutting himself on the jagged shards. Syd put an end to his moaning and groaning, yet still couldn’t hold back a grimace as he lay still across the window sill. She searched for something to take her mind off it and remembered her question from earlier. “What’s your name?” CandyLeptic Mace grimaced. She was right, they were, but should they break in completely, they would be completely fucked. He grumbled as he looked to the now-window blocking zombie and her before putting his gun down and running to the theater door. It was heavy but possible to open, and he held it open long enough for her to run through and him to squeeze past. The door slammed behind them, which would probably mean deadfucks weren't getting in, but they weren't getting out, either. Not to mention the theater had no windows, meaning it was completely pitch black all around then. Realizing the kid had asked a question, he went to grab his cigarette for a second, "Oh uh- Oh shit fuck!!!" He realized he had dropped his cigarette in the process, "You have got to be kidding me. Do you know how hard it is to find a smoke these days?" He called out to Syd as he felt for the seats. He froze though, and just realized that, should there be zombies in HERE, how absolutely screwed they would be. No moaning was to be heard thankfully, but the quiet ones were the worst... macxcheeseSyd waited for an answer, only realizing a few minutes after that the guy was already at the door. She swooped down and grabbed her bag, then squeezed through. She looked back quick enough to see the man’s face. Then there was pitch black. She stood still, listening for any movement. Instead she heard the man’s cursing, and she could only sigh. “At least I won’t get second hand smoke now,” she mumbled. Glass half full. “So what’s your name?” she asked a second time. CandyLeptic "That's a myth and you know it," he spat out as he fumbled for his lighter. He clicked it on and realized she was standing a little closer than he thought, and quickly stepped back a few feet awhile ignoring her question again. Names meant friends and he wasn't sure if he wanted any, to be honest. Trying to not use up too much precious lighter fluid, he quickly surveyed the area around them, but it looked clear. There was a ton of seats and then a place in front for mosh pits or maybe instruments? He had no idea. And then the stage, about four feet high from the ground, and wings on either side. He clicked the lighter off and sighed and lighting started to sound from outside. They were safe but also, he was starting to feel a little boxed in, which made his nerves spike up. After he decided he had ignored her for long enough, he drummed his fingers on the chair next to him and called out to the kid. When she responded with where she was, he considered a moment before giving an answer. "Mace."

Syd rolled her eyes almost out of her head. "Rightttt, I'm sure all those scientists were just big fat liars," she replied sarcastically. She crossed her arms and found a seat in on of the aisles, propping her feet up on the back of another. She recalled the commercials in the movie theaters telling you not to put your feet on the chairs, and then just movie theathers in general. She used to love movies.
Hearing the guy call, she answered back through the darkness. Seriously though, what was taking so long with the name-
Syd listened quietly to his answer and a beat laughter burst out in laughter. Speaking of movies! "Mace?? Is that your real name?! Oh my god, that sounds like some dumb action movie nickname!"

Speaking of movies! "Mace?? Is that your real name?! Oh my god, that sounds like some dumb action movie nickname!" candylepticMace's face snapped to her direction- he couldn't tell exactly where she was but that was probably for the best!! What she said really pissed him off! "It does fucking not!! It' a real name, YES. It's MY name, thank you very much!!" macxcheeseSyd managed to control her giggles for long enough to quip, “Do they call you Mace because it hurts to look at you?” She actually slapped her leg at that one, breaking down into another fit of laughter. She slunk down at the same time to make sure she wouldn’t be easy to find. That guy did not seem pleased to have his name made fun of- but it was sooo easy to! candylepticHe fumed in anger as he tried to think of something amazingly witty to say that!!! "MACE is short for MASON." he yelled back at her ...general direction... The thick darkness was enough to make him feel helpless should he try to find her (and after that, he DID). He fumed for a minute before forcing out an exasperated breath. Calmness might be more terrifying, he wagered, so he swallowed his pride just enough to sound nearly plesant; "Well, miss, at least I am not a lying, filthy THIEF WHO HIDES BEHIND A FAKE FUCKING NAME." As he talked he walked closer to where the girl's voice came from, and was nearly on top of her when a flash of light pulled his attention-- not from the door they came out of, but from one on the...opposite...side of the auditorium. He didn't even stop to think that the construction was mirrored, and perhaps that door wasn't as rusted-- the direction the rain fell was opposite, and the windows had probably been open for a long time, so maybe the doors weren't naturally that hard to open. Not that any of that actually occurred to Mace, because his first priority was nearly hopping the seats and firing his gun at the figures that started to flood in!

Syd kept laughing as the guy- Mace- became angrier and angerier. "Mason?" she called out. "Like the mason dixon line? Are you American or something?" Her laughter trailed off as he started firing back, and she stood up in protest at the claims. "Sydney is my real name, thank you very m-"
She gasped at the flash of lightning and could only stare terrified at the approaching chompers. The sound of gunfire broke her out of it and she was soon firing as well. She saw one shape go down and wondered who'd taken it out. There was no time to think it through though as a form she'd missed in the darkness swung at her head. She dropped her gun and reached for her field hockey stick, swinging it just in time! She backed up as more came at her and felt her foot tap her gun. She wished for a chance to swipe it, yet Syd could only frantically swing back and forth at the oncoming opponents.
