She had been wandering the city, searching for others like her, but after days of little to no luck, Hikari moved to the outskirts of town, still searching for someone she could call 'friend'. Blue eyes scanned the landscape hopefully, the hope fading when she didn't see anyone. Barren landscape, would that be her only friend...?

Ray Ray cracked down on the throttle, kicking through the countryside on Laura. He was wearing his skull bandanna over his face, and safety glasses to protect his eyes. He had been hunting earlier, but had already took his kill back to the house. He wanted to roll through the sunshine and smell the countryside. Parking Laura, he began walking through the countryside. Loosely call it countryside. The land was pretty barren, but he remembered what it had once looked like.
Walking forward, hands in his pockets, bandanna pulled down to his neck, he strolled through the barren land. He pulled a good sized blunt out of his pocket, and lit up the sweet herb, taking a heavy hit. Pretty soon he started singing, and his heavy twang and baritone voice wasn't to unpleasant.
"One of these days I'm gonna go back to Alabam, I miss them hills and for the city I don't give a damn, Oh one of these days I'll go back to Alabam...."

Markus is running and screaming for his life. A tree is chasing after him. Markus couldn't believe it, how could a plant be chasing something like this?
Running for his life he quickly ran out of breath. Unable to run any further, he crunches to trying to catch some breath. Looking back he can see the odd looking acorn tree gaining on him.
Quickly surveying the land around him he notices a figure in the distance. Unable to make out what he's looking at he still cries out for help, "Hey! you over there help!" hoping it's someone willing to aid him.

Kari heard the screaming, and the singing. Someone was cheerful, another... not so much. Turning to the screaming she decided that maybe a little help was in order. She ran to the screaming person, and noticed the tree....the moving tree... dear God. Kari slowed and stopped next to the man, turned to him and considered him. He was tired and scared... who could blame him? A tree was out to get him! She analyzed him again before nodding. He didn't look too heavy. Turning her back to him she crouched slightly.
"Get on." She told him easily, as she watched the tree come closer at a rapid rate. "Unless you prefer death to assistance."

Ray stopped singing. Hearing screams, he walked towards em. No reason to hurry. If they were alive when he got their, he could be helpful. If they wasn't, he may find some nice shit. Taking another hit of his blunt, he pulled Bessie off his shoulder and pumped a shell to the ready shot.
Cresting a hill, he looked down at a tree. A fuckin tree chasing a guy and a walking rat-woman thing. Continuing his walk, he lined up a shot and pumped all three shell loads into the tree. 12 gauge buckshot, 3 inch magnum shells were not a joke. The tree fell, dripping sap everywhere.
"Mornin'." Ray Ray took another hard hit, and then pulled his knife and started cutting the mutated trees apples off. They'd make some kind of food, or at least some kind of alcohol.
Placing a few in his pocket, Ray Ray looked at the stunned others.
"Ah, I forgot. I'm Ray Ray. Nice to meet y'all."
Sticking out his hand for a shake, he looked down.
"Don't mind them extra fingers, they ain't squirrelly, they just fingers."

"What the piffle! Umm, ah what are you!" Markus said even more in shock than having a tree chase him around. Looking back at the dead tree he ponders for a few seconds. After a while of catching his breath he finally picks himself up. Now standing between Kari, and Ray.
"Might I ask where the hell I am?" Pointing at Kari, Markus asks another question. "And is this some talking pet of yours”

Hikari's jaw tightened even as she shook Ray's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ray Ray. I'm Hikari, and this is... well a very ungrateful asshole apparently." Hikari said politely as she turned to Markus.
"And I'm no-one's pet, I'm... well I was... human. You're just outside of Clarensford, New York. Though now everyone's calling it Ground Zero..." Kari muttered.

Ray Ray chuckled. "You have a tail." Taking a super hit off his blunt, he held in the smoke for a moment, blowing it in a direct stream into the assholes face.
"The only pet I got boy, she'd eat you alive and use your skull as a water bowl. Watch yerrself.", tapping Bessie, Ray Ray smiled. "Don't really member how many shots I loaded. And ya know, I may be so startled, I put a shell in your ass. One, Be nice boy. She was gonna save you fore I showed up. Two, watch your mothafuckin' language in front of the lady before I break my size 14 off in your ass. Three, the name is Ray Ray. Not Ray. And what's your name, sides Inconsiderate Asshole?"
Placing the blunt between his lips, Ray Ray slowly smoked it.

Markus barely paid attention to Ray Ray’s speech. After hearing Kari's news about this strange place being Clarensford he began to worry. With whatever happened to the people of the city, could it also happen to him? Is that why he lost his memory?
Markus, now in fear, replies "My name is Markus Kramer, I am from Waterloo Ontario. I came to this city by the request of a friend named 'A' to investigate." reflecting back to the few moments prior he continues. "But it looks to me now that we were right, strange experiments are going on in the city. I woke up just moments ago and that tree started to chase me. I have no memory between the times I got on the plane to now."
Markus turns towards Kari, "I appreciate your offer to help. I hope you understand my hesitation given my current situation, eh. It's a real shock seeing what I am now."

Kari's tail flicked back and forth lightly upon being mentioned and she turned to look at it.
"I've noticed. And what do you mean, 'what you are now?' Markus you look human to me." Kari murmured, looking back at the male, her eyes looking at him critically.
"And thank you, Ray Ray, for your assistance, I appreciate you standing up for me." Kari smile carefully, not wanting to scare him with her fangs. Mind you she was probably pretty freaky looking as it was. Long, dead looking silver hair hung over her, claw-like hands, back-wards legs that looked like a cat's... her ears that poked out of her hair like a bat's... Her flat nose, slanted eyes... Kari's eyes darkened, no wonder Markus had hesitated at her, she was a freak.

Pushing his glasses up on his head, Ray Ray smiled. It was a move that showed off the extra fingers and his eyes. The "demon eyes" as someone called them directly after the explosion. Slinging Bessie back on his shoulder, the tall man smiled again.
"It ain't a thang girl. Just bein' me."
Looking at the tree, Ray Ray moved a couple leaves. "You wanna hear somethin' funny? You just got chased by a pussy willow. That's funny right there."
Starting to walk up hill, he turned around and looked. "Y'all look thirsty. And prolly hungry. I got me some food and drink back at the bike. Y'all wanna sit a spell? Tell the stories we got?"< looking at Markus, he chuckled, "Cept I don't wanna hear that pussy willow chased me story, I feel like I heard it before."

Markus, feeling his pride trampled by Ray Ray, nodded in agreement. He wants answers, and expects both Kari and Ray Ray to give them. "I do thank you for helping me, as this place is now very strange to me." Markus begins feeling around, he was feeling around for anything 'A' must have given him. Markus was wearing baggy clothes, his pants had many pockets along the side. Makus figured he must have met 'A' sometime during the events he can't remember.
He whispered "Aha" when he felt his Nintendo 3DS in main frontal pocket and what felt like a small flashlight in his mid right leg pocket. That metal stick that feels like a flashlight must be the special switchblade sword 'A' developed for him. Now where could 'A' be he thought, he wasn't ready to announce his two special items to Ray Ray and Kari just yet.
"I'm sorry, I thought I felt bugs crawling around me." Markus said as an excuse for his odd, sudden action. Giving an embarrassing look, Hoping his acting classes pay off and they buy it.

Kari also nodded to Ray Ray and moved to follow the man, not even noticing Markus's odd actions. She had head his 'aha' but assumed he simply figured something out. Gah what could she care... after all she was just a 'pet'. Blue eyes flickered in slight annoyance which was quickly shrugged off, she didn't need to be angry at the man, after all he didn't even remember getting off the plane here. Kari snorted and shook her head, the explosion must have been the reason for that...

Ray Ray made it down to Laura, and opened the saddle bag that held his drink. Opening the mason jar he scratched his face for a moment. Last time he had been here, he'd been here with Amy. One of them bittersweet memories. She had fucked him up, a lot. He was fucked up about it to this day, remembering her.
Turning, he took a deep drink of the shine. Goddamn that shit burnt. Like drinking kerosene. Shaking his head, he sat the jar on a stump and offered to the other two. "Y'all want some?"
Sitting on Laura's seat, Ray Ray pulled his little baggie and some cigar papers he had found in an old store. Rolling another blunt, he lit up again, looking at the two others. Smoking slow, he continued to stare at them.

“No thank you, I shouldn’t drink right now. There is no telling what kind of effects it could have on us. It’s best to play things safe right now.” Markus squats down, still trying to catch his breath. “I do appreciate your help thus far, if you don’t mind I’d like to know more what’s going on. I’d particularly like to know more about mutants.” Markus is now looking up and holding a fixed stare into Ray Ray's black eyes.
