[align=center][div style="width: 300px;border: 0px black solid;text-align: justify;text-transform: lowercase;"]jack had been walking for what had to be hours. sure it had been a heard trek, stumbling when dirt slipped under his feet, and the ski lift above him unmoving. the power had gone out twenty years ago, and he remembered exactly where he was. he was with a man named gabriel reyes, his commanding offivcer. they had fought a war together, and now the soldier didn't even know if the man was alive. they had been playing poker the night it happened, and the lights had flickered off, and when they went outside they saw all the lights going out.

at the time, he had been 32- gabriel, 34- and he had panicked. he thought the other side might have won, but the war went on for another three years.. and they still won without power. that was the last day he had seen gabriel. he hadn't ben at the victory feast.

now, the world was in ruin, and he was all alone with his thoughts. it was probably his fault gabriel was dead.. or probably dead. he had no way of knowing.

as he reached what seemed like the top, he saw a building- an old ski lodge. it didn't look like anyone was watching, and it was fairly dark out, so he crept around to the back door, looking at the hinges. they were on the inside, so the door opened inside. he pulled the knob, starting to turn it. the knob made no noise, and he moved inside, but then he heard footsteps, and he froze, his mask concealing his face. someone had already found him.

he was getting rusty.

[align=center][div style="width: 350px; text-align: justify; line-height: -1%; color: black"]there was the rattling of a gun getting put up, and pointed at them. the gun was obviously huge, as he had to hold it with two hands, and he tilted his head to flip the switch on his mask that turned on night vision goggles. his mask seemed to light up red, and he frowned. both of these people seemed smaller than him- he would easily be able to hold them back if he had to.

the old man wouldn't move his gun, just stared at them for a long while. "soldier 76. looking for shelter.. are you peaceful?" he questioned.

It was his fault for not having assigned patrols. Sure, some did it when they could; he did it quite often. He'd even keep watch at night sometimes. But the isolation of the lodge made it feel like it was...unnecessary, most of the time. That would have to change. He had been reading, unable to sleep after his encounter with Moksha earlier, and Gray wasn't as sneaky as he might have thought. He'd gotten up to follow the teen, just a bit worried, when he, too, saw the silhouette and heard the Lodger's call to the figure. Johannes had his knife with him, which was well and good, but... if this fella was a threat, they might be in trouble. "Name. Business. You're on the Lodge's property." His voice was a bit rough from the lack of sleep, and he cleared his throat, speaking a bit louder than Gray--maybe, just maybe trying to sound a bit more intimidating than the pubescent kid before him. Unfortunately, he was only a couple inches taller.	Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet No time to argue with belief I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping Faster than me
	She'd been ten, or what was it, eleven? Twelve? Whatever; she'd been quite young when the lights went out in the world, though she remembered the times before. When all she had to worry about was getting her homework done and whether or not Melissa was going to end up "dating" Tony. Nowadays she had more things to worry about. Like not starving to death, and watching the shadows for the eventual assassins that the Felix family would send after her. She slept in short bursts throughout the day and night, never really settling down at any point. She usually kept to her room though, but not tonight. She'd been restless, so she decided to wander to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She heard the unexpected commotion, and with a grimace pulled out her pistol and darted into the room, holding it up and aiming towards the intruder. "Peaceful if you put that shit away." Narin said, her eyes narrowed - mostly because of the dark but it could be taken as a hostile gesture. That gun was.. How the fuck did he hold it? Did he have arms of steel? Even with two hands that shit was gigantic. "Boss, what's the protocol for random men breaking into the Lodge?" She asked, deciding to let Johannes handle the matter of possibly giving Soldier 76 shelter.

A few years ago, the gun would have just incited Johannes to try and disarm and pin the man. He was a bit less....easily provoked, these days; though a protective worry flooded him at the sight of the gun. "You need to put that down--" He didn't take his eyes off the man, but was grateful that there was another adult around. He wouldn't put it past Gray to be a formidable force if necessary, but the fact remained he was a fuckin' kid. "This is our home. We're not going to hurt anyone unless they shove a gun in our face and don't back off." He inhaled through his nose, trying to calm a bit, and nodded. "I won't let you in at gunpoint. Put that down and we'll talk."	Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet No time to argue with belief I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping Faster than me
