Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eros limped up the stairs up the roof. "We are going to want to stay up here for a bit. The undead are starting to gather and its a huge horde." Looking at Tess "Don't think I am willing to let survivors die. I just want us to think things through so we can find the best possible solution so we don't get trapped and I won't let you go anywhere without some backup." Eros told Tess as he sat down.

Nikolai jumped back down the hole he made and got some clothes

Connor puts his arm out symboling for them to stay put. "I have an idea" he says as he gets into his bag and pulls out 2 pipe bombs "Never leave home without'em!" Connor walks to the stairwell and see's the group of walkers. "COME ON YOU BLOODY BASTARDS!!" he says as he is setting the timer on one of them "May wanna get down!" Connor throws it down the stairs and dives as he is running away!

Tesmarin ducked down just before the bomb went off, then sat up slowly. Her legs shook for a brief moment from the shock of what had happened.
"That was amazing!" She exclaimed, suddenly alert and actually somewhat hyper. "Eros, Nikolai, did you see that?"
Tess turned around and noticed that Nikolai was laying on his side with no light in his eyes and her exuberant smile is gone in a flash. She went immediately to his side and pushed him onto his back, revealing the large gash in him. She examined the slashmark in his chest and frowned grimly as she began to try and fix it all back up. Her nimble fingers delved in and manuevered around undamaged pieces so she could get to the main problem.
"s**t." She muttered as she continued working, using whatever was handy to try and fix the problem. Tess wasn't angry with anyone, but nor was she happy. There was no expression except determination as she worked on Nikolai's injury with complete concentration.
She worked for what to her seemed like ages, but in reality was only fifteen minutes or so. Tess was under suffocating stress to hurry as she heard surviving zombies off in the distance. She did everything she could, then slung Nikolai's arm around her shoulders, allowing his weight to lean on her.
"We have to get back to the store." She ordered, though her voice was tired and weak. Even insomnia could only keep a person going for so long and her vision was getting blurry as she began to trudge down the stairs. The carnage left behind by the bombs was incredible, but there were undead getting closer by the second as she began to drag the injuried man in the direction of the store.
She motioned for Eros and the other man to follow.
((sorry for the wait, was doing something else lol))

Tesmarin felt the added weight suddenly being taken off of her and looked back, seeing Eros taking Nikolai from her. She was mostly in a daze, but nodded to acknowledge him and his request for her to lead them.
"This way." She said quietly, pointing ahead as she drew her pistol. Tess fired at any undead that showed their rotting faces, some bullets killed them, some hit in non-fatal places, others missed entirely. She was starting to fade out of consciousness as they reached the locked store, but she delved into her pocket and grabbed her key. She unlocked the door and motioned everyone inside before going in herself and closing it behind her. Tesmarin nearly collasped upon getting inside, falling to her knees and having to support herself just so she wouldn't be face down on the floor.
"W-we have to...help Nikolai..." She struggled back to her feet, but stumbled slightly. Once she stablized herself, Tess opened up the canteen and poured some of the icy water onto her face and into her eyes. It wouldn't keep her awake forever, but it would buy her enough time to try and fix her wounded companion once again.

Tesmarin accepted the blanket and pillow given to her by Eros, but had no idea how she was expected to sleep while someone under her care was in danger.
She stayed back as he worked on Nikolai's severe injury, knowing that right now her fingers were too clumsy to do anything that would help. All she could do was stay out of Eros's way for the time being. She gingerly nibbled on the fruit he'd given her, finding that she was indeed a little hungry.
"I think there's one not too far away from where we just were." She thought hard about it, trying to force her exhausted mind to confirm. Yes, she remembered seeing one on their way back and gave Eros detailed directions on how to get there.
"Are you sure you can go alone?" She asked him, determined to somehow talk him into letting her go with him. "It isn't that far, I can go with you."

Tesmarin frowned as Eros spoke to her in his serious tone. She felt like she was supposed to make sure everyone under her care was okay, yet Eros was tellling her it wasn't her responsibility. Tess realized she wasn't going to convince him to allow her to accompany him, so her only option was to give in. She was not happy with this realization, however, she was minorly relaxed by Eros placing a hand on her shoulder. It was a kind thing of him to do.
"Fine." She said simply, walking with him to the door so she could do as he asked and lock it after he'd left.
Tesmarin sighed in defeat and huffed a stubborn breath. She didn't enjoy being given orders, but she knew it was probably for the best.
"Don't act so high and mighty." She said with a slight smile. "You don't look that much older than me, so I consider us on the same level. Be careful and hurry up, got it?"

Running in with 5 soldiers behind him, he yelled "HANDS UP! NOW!" as he fired 6 rounds into the ceiling.
