Benedict walked along the road that lead to the docks. The immediate area was clear of any infected , which he was greatful for. He wasn't in the best shape, and constant fighting was taking it's tole. He'd never admit it, of course, but right now there wasn't really anyone to admit it to, anyway. He was heading to the docks to try to get a boat, because he and figured out that the infected couldn't really swim, so a boat seemed like a logical plan. He planned on taking a boat to an island somewhere, but he still needed to figure out how to get all the supplies he would need. His thoughts were an island not super far off of shore. It was more likely to be small, and thus have less infected. Also, that way he could take the boat back to shore now and then for supplies. He let out a long sigh, it all sounded so dull. Of course, killing infected was quite fun, but the lack of cases and work had his mind rebelling. He had long sense used the last of his bullets shooting random stuff to entertain himself, though he later decided that that hadn't been such a good idea.
He saw an infected come stumbling out of a doorway near him and quickly speared it with the harpoon he was carrying. He actually got it from his house, strangely enough. He had once used it to harpoon a dead pig, apparently, then gotten on a subway train covered in blood. The harpoon was now equally covered in blood, but human blood this time. He had somehow managed to keep his clothes from getting covered in blood, for now, anyway. He pulled the harpoon out of the infected and continued on his way.
Once he reached the docks, he saw a ship leaving. He quickly figured out that it was a ship full of American soldiers, who had apparently just dropped of a girl from japan. “You've come a long way,” He said, as if he hadn't just met this girl, and as if she wasn't one of the few remaining 'humans' on earth. His eyes twitched back and forth ever so slightly, giving the impression that he was taking in everything around him, which he probably was, being him.

Yukiko turned to the voice, then sprinted toward him at full speed, drawing her sword as she did. Her armour was thick and heavy but she was in good physical shape. She shoved him down and made one fluid motion with her sword, slicing off the head of a Jockey. She then looked at him and muttered "Baka American." in a voice that could be either male or female. She took a cloth and wiped the blood from her Katana then slid it back into its spot on her belt. She then turned backwards and walked back to her stuff. She picked up her wooden sword then walked back to the guy and dropped the sword on him, she then asked "See any ships Baka?"

Benedict seemed confused about Yukiko running at him, but right before she reached him, he sidestepped, dodging both her and the Jockey, seeing as he was far to alert of a person not notice a Jockey coming up behind him. He looked at her and his eyes twitched in a way where they narrowed for a split second. "Quite the contrary," He said when she called him an idiot. "Would an idiot be able to tell that you are from Japan, Yokohama, to be precise, on an American military ship. I also know that you were raised in Japan, but you were not born there, and that you are most likely a girl, despite your apparent attempts to hide your gender, whether intentional or not," He paused a bit, then said,"I also assume you haven't learned much about other countries, and other accents." He took the sword, looking at it like he wasn't quite sure why she had given it to him, then said,"We're at a dock, of course I see ships." Most of the ships weren't in the best shape. Mostly because of no one bothering to take care of them, and because of Tanks.

Yukiko narrowed her eyes as she removed her face mask "Well sense you already know I'm female there is no reason to wear that. It was so I didn't look rapeable for those America military forces." she then narrowed her eyes further as she realised something "How the Hell do you know so much Australian?" she kinda figured he was Australian because to her the British and Australian accents sounded quite alike. When he looked confused she said "You use it to smash zombie's heads in." she walked along the dock, a hunter jumped at her then she simply turned her Katana to blade out and the Hunter impailed itself on the sword. She shook her head "Working ships Baka.look for working ships with fuel."

Benedict seemed kind of taken aback by her reason for wearing the mask, apparently not being able to comprehend wanting to rape someone, which was good. "That's clever," He said, his eyes darting around slightly again. "I observe," He said in a way that kind of gave both the impression that he thought he was awesome, and that he though she was incredibly dumb. "I know you are from Yokohama because of your boxes," He said, pointing at one of her boxes,"That one says 'Yokohama' on it. It's possible that you could have gotten it from someone, or from living there in the past, but more likely you needed boxed for something, so you went behind a shop and grabbed some boxes, one of which had the name of the city on it. “As for how I knew you were a girl, well, that's simple. The most likely reason for anyone to hide their gender would be to make others think you were tough, and only a girl would feel the need to do that, since they are sometimes seen as the weaker gender. The other reason, as you stated, would be to hide your gender from people you fear might rape you, which again, you would only do as a girl. See, simple. How I know you don't know much about accents is even more simple. I'm English," He said, barely pausing for breath through it all. He also said it fairly quickly, but not like, super fast. Just fast to a point that gave you the impression that he could think fast. He looked at the sword,"I have a harpoon, why would I want a wooden sword?" It was weird how he could be so brilliant about some things, and completely clueless about others. He watched her stab the hunter, then started scanning ships, without moving from the spot.

Hera limped towards the docks in whatever city/town they were in, seeming to almost forget about the pain now. Yes, it still hurt, but it was almost less noticeable then it was. At least, she felt that way for awhile, until a stinging pain feeling started to go up her whole leg after walking for a long time. Still, despite the condition of her leg, she hadn't stopped once during the whole walking for hours. By the time she got to the docks though, she felt ready to relax. Did she though? Not really. Especially when she spotted other human beings for the first time since this started. Mostly she had found the dead, or the infected, and it was a haunting sight that she knew would haunt her nightmares. Like killing her whole family haunted her pretty badly during the night. The idea of a long, good nights sleep rather appealed to her, but she knew the day wasn't over yet.
She approached the other 2 people without really saying anything until she was up close to them. Probably because they were busy talking, and the boy, or more like man, was blabbering on about something. Stuff that didn't really make any since to her, or why he was going on about that stuff in particular. So, all she did was walk relatively close to them, and said "Hey", just to let them know another human being was nearby. She gave the girl in the Japanese samurai armor a strange look, but didn't think much of it and just let out a sigh of relief to stop for a moment, and just rest on her contraption of sorts she made for a walking stick. She grabbed her tube for her camel back, tensing up as she did so in pain, then opened it up and bit down on the end of the tube to suck some of the water out, because she hadn't really gotten a good sip of water for a long time now, and she felt that she really needed the water right now.

Yukiko listened to this English guy talk, about his observation, the only thing she seemed shocked about was that he knew it ment Yokohama "You read Kanji, how strange. I mean for a native English speaker anyway. You have sound logic, and are very intelligent. Though you lack wisdom and manners." she walked along the dock more, looking over the boats. She walked back toward the shore, seeming to just be pacing around, waiting for infected to spring out and attempt to kill her like how it was back in Yokohama. She looked back at the Englishman and added "Call me Iwasaki. I'm sure your intellect will realise that is my last name, I don't know you well enough to use my first." she then walked toward the shore and nearly ran into the new person. She instantly took a steep back, and nearly drove her Katana into the girl's neck before she realised she wasn't infect. She then smacked the girl across the face "Don't ever sneak up on people like that, I damn near sliced your head off." she looked like she had hit the girl out of concerned anger, not real anger.

He didn't really seemed to respond to her saying that he had sound logic and was very intelligent at first, but after a bit of seeming kind of taken aback, he said,"You think so?" It seemed like he hadn't been expecting her to compliment him. "That's not what people normally say." When she said he lacked wisdom and manners, he scoffed,"Oh, manners, manners are boring," while waving his hand in a dismissive way. "Obviously," He said in response to her saying that it was her last name. "I'm Benedict Cumberbatch," He said, not bothering with a nice introduction. He kind of spun to face Hera when she said 'hey', apparently not having noticed her arriving. "Three people arriving at one place at the same time, how interesting," He said, looking Hera up and down,"A farmer, hm," he said, turning back toward the boats. He was quite for a bit, then said,"Over there," out of nowhere, pointing to what seemed to be a random boat.

Hera pretty much ignored anything said between the two, which was probably to be expected. But, she did however notice when the person dressed in samurai armor almost crashed into her, obviously. She also noticed the fact the person seemed to be on edge, and got ready to quickly pull out her weapon and shoot the person if she had to. She let out a groan when she was smacked, mostly because it involved moving her head that had just been bashed when she crashed earlier, and her head still hurt from that. She closed her eyes from the feeling of the incoming head pain, then responded to the girl. "And I was ready to shoot you if I had to" She said, gesturing to the fact she was holding her weapon more then before. "I don't think the infected usually carry machete's, guns, bandage themselves up, and have a backpack, or drink out of camel backs" She continued. Then, hearing the other guy, she raised an eyebrow. "All I care about is the fact I met 2 other people. I haven't seen another human face in 2 weeks" She said, shaking her head slightly. When he figured out she was a farmer, she raised an eyebrow. "Correct. I've practically worked on the farm since I was born. How can you tell?" She asked, curious. When he said 'over there', she just looked where he was pointing, saw a boat, and didn't really give a crap because she didn't know the reasoning behind pointing at that.

Yukiko nodded to Benedict and said "A blind man could see your intellect. Though you still lack of wisdom." she shook her head at him when he dismissed manors and muttered "Baka." under her breath. She bowed slightly to him when his introduced himself and said "Nice to meet you." she looked down at Hera and said "Good, glad you were willing to protect yourself." she scoffed at the infected not wearing equipment "Clearly you have never seen what happens when a member of the Japanese Self Defence Force, or American Military is infected. You do kinda look like a zombie, I mean, you could really use a shower." she turned back to the guy and said "Interesting? I had a group of ten back in Yokohama. I guess the infection hit you westerised barbarians harder than Nippon, or as you jerks say, Japan." she looked to the boat he pointed out and walked along, hand on her sword, toward it.

"Hmm," Was basically all Benedict said in response to her saying he lacked wisdom. Basically it sounded like he didn't care. When she called him an idiot again, all he did was mutter,"Empty insult," Under his breath, because to him, he had already proved that he wasn't an idiot. "Mm," Was all he said in reply when she said it was nice to meet him. Basically he just proved that he lacked manners. "Infected," He said in the middle of Yukiko's and Hera's conversation. He said it when Yukiko said 'zombie'. "It's easier to get a big group when you start with one," He pointed out, apparently assuming she had started with a big group. "Though I must agree. Despite their love for guns, Americans clearly can't defend themselves," He went on, apparently not caring that she was referring to Britain as well. The reason he didn't care was because he knew she couldn't possibly know how well England was doing, and neither did he. In response to Hera asking how he could tell, he took a deep breath before starting talking. "Your clothes are stained with dirt. Not just any dirt, you could get that from falling down, but the darker, richer dirt you get when digging, or tilling. Also the fact that they're stained, rather then just being dirty says that they've been used for it a lot over the amount of time you've had them. Then there's your hands. Your nails are ragged and broken, most likely from digging in the dirt with your hands, could just be gardening, but not likely. Your hands are rough from using tools like rakes and hoes. You also have some livestock manure on your shoes, that and the fact that you smell like livestock. Obvious,” He said, again talking fast and like he thought they were both dumb. When Yukiko started heading toward the boat with her hand on her sword, he said,"There was a man on it, probably a war veteran by the looks of him. Didn't look infected. Maybe he would let us use his ship."

Hera disregarded what Yukiko said at first, but answered to what she said next. "Like I said, you guys are the first real human beings I've seen since the infection started" She told Yukiko. "All I've really seen is infected in overalls" She said. When she said she looked kinda like a zombie, and that she could really use a shower, she chuckled. "What, because I look like shit?" She asked, referring to the fact that she looked like she had the shit beat out of her....which she did, really. "The shower part makes sense, since I haven't really showered since the infection started" She said, and she didn't really seem to be bothered by the fact she stunk. Probably because she worked with cows, sheep, chickens, and other stinky farm animals enough that the stink was normal to her. And how many times she got down and dirty. With the guy correcting Yukiko about the "Zombies", she just looked at him and said nothing.
Now, when Mr. Showoff went on about all the reasons she looked like a farmer, she just listened, seeming vaguely amused by the whole thing. When he was finished, she jokingly said "Whoa Sherlock", before addressing something. "I'm surprised you can detect the dirt stains when I'm covered in other dirt from calling out of a wrecked pickup truck, and when I'm also covered in blood" She said. She was tempted to tell him that his deduction was impressive, but based on her own impression of him so far, she figured that would just stroke his ego and she didn't really want to make his ego any bigger then it already seemed to be. When Yukiko started walking towards the boat, she just slowly limped after her, feeling like she would be a burden to them with how slow she was if they were going anywhere but a boat. All she wanted to do was lay down and take a nap for a while, to rest her aching leg and her injured arm. And to just sleep, since she was exhausted. If she could sleep. It was likely that the crash would replay in her head over and over again, adding something else to the already annoying replaying of her shooting her own parents because they were infected.

Yukiko gave a glance to Benedict when he 'corrected' her "Would you rather I say 'Kansen suru' as it is in my native tongue? I heard the Americans calling them that, so I joined in." she nodded to what Hera said, she figured that she hadn't gotten a shower quickly saying "If we can find one, then you get first turn on the shower. I'm sure these longer range fishing ships have them, I know Japanese whaling ships do. Plus they should have big petrol tanks, so we shouldn't run out of fuel too soon." she didn't even realise that it was the British, not Americans who used the term petrol.
She nodded to Benedict again and said "You, American hillbilly girl, aim your gun at him in case he gets any funny ideas with a gun." she then walked quickly toward the boat and called out "Hey, hey you on the boat. We are survivors, can we get some help?"

"'Zombie' refers to a form of undead," Benedict said,"These 'people' are not undead, they are infected." Apparently he liked correcting people, even if it really didn't matter. He ignored the conversation about showers, really not giving a crap who got the first shower if they could find a boat with a shower on it. When she said 'petrol' he didn't seem to pay it any mind. He probably actually would have been more confused if she hadn't said petrol. Not that he would be confused by it, either way.
Benedict just kind of followed casually behind the other two, apparently letting them take care of it, which was weird, since he was and adult, and they weren't. His eyes darted around, and he was taking in everything. With how observant he was, it was likely that even though he was just following them, he would notice any danger before them. Like, whether or not the captain was armed, or he might even be able to tell if the guy was insane or not.

Hera ignored Mr. Sherlock's correcting, and focused on what Yukiko was saying. Though, she did say "Americans think it's cool to call them zombies, because they've played too many zombie games or watched too many zombie movies or shows". To Yukiko saying she got first turn on the shower, she nodded. "Sounds good to me. I could really use one" She said, already imagining herself in a nice warm shower, rinsing of the blood, dirt, and other crap. "Though it may be painful, and complicated" She said, nodding towards her wounds. She didn't really seem to care that she said petrol, since she wasn't the correcting type.
"Yeah, make the battered girl do the possible shooting" Hera jokingly complained, taking her rifle off and holding it with one hand. "Agh, I can't even hold this thing properly anymore" She complained to herself, referring to the fact her arm was also beat to crap. Eventually she got it into a position where she was holding it with both hands, even though it hurt. "I'll just hold it. Pointing a gun at someone from the start gives the wrong impression. I got fast enough reflexes I can shoot him if he reacts badly" She said to Yukiko. She didn't mention the fact that her reflexes would be slower now, and that when she fired she would likely drop her weapon in agony from the force of it moving with her injured arm.
"And girl" She said, looking at Yukiko. "Please don't call me hillbilly girl again. I don't like it. It makes me think of drunk rednecks who shoot off guns mindlessly, along with drunkenly shooting illegal fireworks off on 4th of July. I'd rather not be associated with them, thank you" She said, pushing herself into more of a standing position and starting to walk towards the boat herself. Clearly, she was a little bizarre herself, and a little blunt. It didn't mean she wasn't nice. This was just how her personality was, and it was probably made worse by being alone for 2 weeks, killing her own parents because they got infected, and then getting the shit beat out of her today. That tended to put people in a sour mood, and with her luck recently, she had a right to act the way she was.
Like Yukiko, she called out, though it pained her to yell. "And don't think about coming out with a gun and shooting at us. There are 3 of us, and we are well armed. It would just be a death wish on your part. Unless you do have a death wish, then feel free to do so" She yelled to the boat, glancing at her 'allies' and then back to the boat.
