Please be semi-literate to literate (even though I really don't care about it, just as long as you can spell the words you type) Please use OOC for out of character (though any form works.) And lastly, have fun!

Setting: Colorado into Wyoming Plot: A release of chemical matter has shut the two states down, and those inside are not permitted to leave the surrounding fence-line. Gifted fight to escape authorities and leave the 'compound,' banding together into small or large groups. What's in the future? You decide.

ooc: hey!

OOC: Hi Raf! Join in! You can use an intro or list, I don't mind which one you choose.

ooc: okay. and hmm... who do i want to use?

OOC: Oh, you can use more than one if you'd like.

ooc: yeah, but then i get all flustered and it doesn't go so well... lol

oooh, i'll make a new person. that'll work. or two... and i'll take on the flusterment.

OOC: Aim for the top! :) (I usually use three cause two seems like so few to me...)

ooc: well, on neo with the post limit, it just seems like a lot of effort to be playing as more than one person.

OOC: True, so very true.

ooc: anyways! i think i'm gonna be lame and do a list intro.

OOC: Okay... I feel that way too today....

ooc: oooh, i wonder if its on nexflix... though i doubt it. and same here! i have- er, had such a crush on him when i was like 10. lol

OOC: And I wanted to be him! BIC: The air was muggy and Sebastian stared at his reflection in the gloomy puddle of the park, most people stayed inside now, but he felt more at-ease and normal outside. His eyes gave an eerie red glow, and the small ripples of the water were tinted in a pinkish light. Sebastian wondered how long everyone would be quarantined - or if it was permanent. His heart longed for a social life, but the harsh restrictions in the towns kept most from leaving their homes. Lucky for him, he lived on the streets. Sebastian planned on staying outdoors, and even the officers couldn't keep him from leading a normal life.

ooc: this is the guy who voiced beast boy!!! lol http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0996651/ and its not on netflix. D:

bic: The smell of spaghetti sauce, cooking noodles, and garlic bread filled up the small apartment. Portia made sure she was always busy because if she wasn't she would hear things, voices, whispers. They would happen at random times and if she didn't have her mind set on something, it would start to scare her. She knew that it was her that could only hear them, and that made it worse. A few times her parent's sent her to mental hospitals to help cure her craziness, but that was before the word of gifteds came about. Now they didn't care. Especially since she was old enough to be out of the house.

She had moved out with her twin brother and had enjoyed it for awhile, until her apartment was located inside the contamination area. She tried to get out before it was too late, but it was too late. Her brother had been off somewhere and wasn't in this area to be locked up too. So she waited in solitary. Nearly all alone.

OOC: COOL! By the way, I'll be putting Dante in the picture way later. BIC: Sebastian Walked along the sidewalk, the color matched the sky and both matched how he felt, with all the gloom roaming around it seemed natural. He could smell food through almost every window, and decided it was time to eat. Rummaging through a nearby dumpster, Sebastian pulled out a half-eaten bagel and an old packet of tea. His stomach argued with him, letting him know that rotten food was so not the way to go. But what other choice did he have? Living in the streets for so long it almost made him feel like he had lost his humanity. Sebastian was sure he was a monster, he had always looked like this, always had this frightening gift. His mom used to tell him it was what made him special, but his dad only thought of him as evil.

Portia rummaged around in the fridge. Dissatisfied by her findings, she let out a big puff of air. "No milk or parmesan? Really?" She knew if Roger was here, he'd go get it since the store was just a few blocks away. He couldn't survive without his dairy. So Portia, thinking of the absent Roger, turned off the stove and oven, grabbed her wallet, and headed out the door. Spaghetti wasn't spaghetti without parmesan cheese.

As she walked to the store, she scanned the neighborhood. It was ghostly quiet. Though that's how it has been. It was still creepy. Everyone was holed up in their houses. There wasn't much hope and happiness being spread around. A lot of people thought they were going to turn into zombies. Portia knew Roger would think it would be the coolest thing ever. But he wasn't here, and it wouldn't be the coolest thing ever without him.

By the time she was done thinking about zombies and Roger blowing their heads off with rifles, she was at the store.
