Test Drive Meme #2

Fire and Ice Days. Four of them, to be exact. Those four days--four days and four nights--have been nothing but rain of varying intensities, but it hasn't stopped. It pours down in heavy torrents, sweeping away the grime and decay of the crumbling city. It floods the banks of the oasis and it drowns all nearby plants. To the point; it's a right pain to anyone hunting for game. Everything has taken refuge to higher grounds. Well, everything except the infected. They seem confused by this phenomenon. It rouses them from their dormant states and pushes them to be more active. If you find yourself out and about in the rain, you may want to bring a decent weapon with you and a friend to watch your back. Or to trip should you find yourself in trouble. What's worse than all that precipitation, you ask? Why would you even ask that? Haven't you seen a single horror movie? Well, since you asked; what's worse than rain is hail. How could that possibly make the situation more dire? You aren't worried about the insurance on your car, so who cares? You're sure full of dangerous questions, aren't you? Hail impacts the ground, the buildings, the cars, and the wall with a mighty raucous. The sound as it hits the pavement is deafeningly louder than the sound it makes when it impacts the waterlogged earth, slowed by the trees blocking its descent. It won't take long at all before the group of survivors holed up in the city will notice a mass of shambling Iraites beginning to congregate against the walls and gates, attracted by the noise. They're toppling over each other and pressing against the boundaries. The gate looks like it might buckle under all that weight like a dam about to burst. You might wanna do something about reinforcing that gate, or maybe even start taking out the horde if you can. There are still hunters and gatherers out in the forest. If they come back to this mess, they'll never make it into the city alive. If that's not enough trouble, you suddenly have another problem. Between the rain and the hail and the infected, a loud crack of lightning hits a tree near one of the crash sites. You can see the smoke all the way from the city and it lights up the edge of the forest. But that's so far away, how could it pose any trouble? You ask, because you obviously have a death wish. Well friend, you may recall a certain crashed shuttle in about that very direction. Such a thing is leaking some rather potent accelerant. Find a way to contain that fire or you won't have to worry about the infected anymore. You won't have to worry about much when the blaze takes out the forest and creeps through the city with a lazy hunger that cannot be sated. [Mod Note: Pick any scenario, mix and match, or combine them all into one chaotic mess of death and mayhem. Feel free to do a crash scenario from the first TDM. Enjoy~]

When he picked up the rock, he'd glanced up in time to see that frown on her face. Before he could help it, he gave her a slightly sheepish grin; knowing that the rock wasn't the best line of defense. It was something he could work with, though. And if something better came to light on their way back to the city, he would switch out for that instead. Still, he straightened himself to stand, fingers curled around the rough curves of the stone. It was slick, but the shape of it made it easier to grip. It wouldn't escape him, especially not in the time of need.

"Not too far." He stated in response to Maggie's question, nodding in the direction as he followed up his answer with the estimate of travel time. The rain would make it a more difficult journey, but they both knew that. He didn't need to add it in. "Ready, babe?"

That sheepish look on his face was one she knew so well from the early days of their relationship, the lines of that expression engraved forever in her memory. It warmed her heart to see it now, even as the cold rain seeped further into her clothing.

She was as ready as she'd ever be, but there was one thing she needed before she could go on. "Just one thing," she said quietly before reaching up to hook her free hand around the back of his neck and pull him in close. She pressed her lips to his, a firm, quick kiss to give them both strength. Her fingers brushed back the wet strands of hair that were clinging to the side of his face as she pulled back, and she finally nodded. "Now I'm ready. Let's go."

For a moment, there was a curious expression on his face; but realization of her want came really fast. He leaned in to her, tasting her lips and feeling the affection they shared. For a moment, everything else was drowned in her presence; the softness of her mouth, her scent. The sheer presence of her there with him. Glenn felt whole.

"Oh, was that all?" He asked, when they'd parted from that show of love - the grin on his face teasing; and he leaned in to steal another kiss before they were off on the trek back to the wall. It was like getting a jolt of strength, really; but then, she was always like that for him. It was part of who she was. He caressed her cheek with his rock-free hand, then reached down to take her knife-free one; wanting to feel her for a few minutes while they were clear aside from the rain and could take a breath or two just to be there. He'd let go after a second; both of them knew they would stick close, but they'd need to be freed up to make certain they could move.
