looking out the window as you drive away from home
MysticalWhale
I look at her over my shoulder. Hey there, what's your name?
she turns to you, still looking nervous and jumpy Oh! I'm Sarah, what about you?
MysticalWhale
my name is Noah I'm 21 years old male hey umm we're here at this big mall that could have lots of supplies we should check it out
Sarah looks around, seeing nothing but abandoned cars and buildings
"Are you sure this is a good idea? It's pretty dangerous to explore such a large place like this alone..."
MysticalWhale
I've got my hand on the stick shift as we head down the road. So where do we start looking?
Sarah looks out the window as well, watching the outside world go by through the glass
There's a large town just a few hours north of here, I heard it had a few decent stores that survived the initial outbreak
MysticalWhale
I look at her occasionally, glancing outside We're almost there. Just a few more miles.
Sarah nods in response and continues to look out the window "I hope we find something useful. It would be a shame to make this trip for nothing"
MysticalWhale
"I'm sorry I left." My voice sounds broken.
Sarah turns to look at you, her eyes wide
"What? Why are you apologizing?"
MysticalWhale
I look at her while driving how you holding up?
Sarah looks at you, still a bit anxious "I'm doing alright. Just a bit nervous to be out here so long. But I trust you to keep us safe."
MysticalWhale
I quickly move my hand over to her lap. "Your shivering."
Sarah jolts at your touch, looking at you with wide eyes
"S-shut up, I'm not." she mutters, crossing her arms across her chest
MysticalWhale
So where are we going? sitting next to her in the RV
Sarah was staring out the window, her arms crossed over her chest. After a few moments, she turns to look at you
"We're heading to this old mall a couple of towns over. Supposed to have a lot of loot in there"
MysticalWhale
We arrive at a gas station that looks like it might have some supplies. Alright, let's see what we got here. Stay alert, Sarah.
Sarah nods her head in agreement and grabs her rifle tightly "Will do."
MysticalWhale
driving cautiously while looking for supplies we should stop at that gas station up ahead Sarah.
Sarah looks out the window and sees the gas station
"Okay that seems like a good place to stop. There might be some supplies there"
MysticalWhale
I glance over at her occasionally making small talk while I'm driving. So what made you want to join me?
she glances back at you for a moment before looking back out the window
"Honestly, there's not much of anything left where I'm from. Most people have already left, and those who are still there are too weak to survive long term. The only reason I stayed behind was because I had a family... but they didn't make it."
her voice was slightly shaky as she spoke
MysticalWhale
mumbles to himself Finally… peace… looks at Sarah So, what’s the plan now?
Sarah sighs and leans back into her seat, stretching a little before answering
Well, we've got supplies for a while, so I guess we just keep driving and see what we find. Maybe some towns to raid, or even other survivors to team up with.
MysticalWhale
Drives carefully while looking for supplies So what exactly are we looking for?
"Anything that'll help us survive. Ammo, food, medical supplies, weapons. The usual stuff." She looks out the window, her eyes darting around at the surroundings, on edge.
MysticalWhale
So where do we go now? We have plenty of supplies for now. I asked Sarah as I drove our RV down the highway.
"Well, we need to find a safe place to set up camp for the night. Somewhere that won't attract any unwanted attention" Sarah replied, looking out the window as the desolate highway rolled by.
MysticalWhale
I look over at her "So where do you want to hit first?"
Sarah looks out the window for a moment before replying
"Well there's an old department store not too far from here that had some good supplies last time I checked"
