It was a beautiful sunny fall morning. It seemed to be on the chilly side, but that didn't bother Ariadne. She lived in Tahoe afterall, it'd be silly to complain about the cold. Currently she was lounging on her window seat that was overlooking Lake Tahoe. Her parents had bought her a 1,500 square foot house on Lake Tahoe when she hit 18 and she loved it. Especially in the morning when she looked off onto the lake while drinking her morning Tea. Today she had no work and was just enjoying relaxing. The time was about 8:47 AM and she knew she would go on her morning walk soon.
(Gordon)
Gordon was doing his usual: Playing World of Warcraft. His parents saved up some money for a computer for him, plus the monthly subscription for World of Warcraft, and he practically never left his computer. His family lived in a small house in a crappy neighborhood. In his opinion it was cold outside, so he just stayed inside on the day off from school, wracking up hours on World of Warcraft.

Alan sat cleaning his pistol wiles leaning on the door of his car. He looked out over the lake admiring it's beauty. He had stayed the night in a motel, on the California side, with Kyrsten. He chuckled slightly at how they were both sixteen yet had no feelings for each other beyond friendship. He wondered about his silly zombie fantasy and clicked the gun. He put it back the the holster and put it back in the trunk. As he did Kyrsten walked out of the room and he said "Good morning sweete." to tease her.
(Kyrsten)
Kyrsten woke up in the motel room wondering where Alan went, she made herself a cup of coffee to wake herself up. When she walked outside she was met with Alan's friendly teasing responding "Mornin tubs." he roller her eyes at her and she looked at the dash of his car seeing three grean lights she walked to the outlet pulling out his charger and rolling it up. She looked at him "Alan you amuse me, you have an electric car, yet you are a gun nut." he laughed slightly at it and said "Throw some clothes on, we should go see the beach before we go." she nodded and went to get dressed.

"Aww, damnit! Pay the fuck attention guys!" Gordon shouted into the microphone when his whole team died during a raid on Molten Core. Someone responded with, "We tried as hard as we could asshole". He just rolled his eyes and waited for a revive.
(Ariadne)
Ariadne had finished her Tea and started to go on her walk. She didn't even put a jacket on and just went outside in a black plain long sleeve shirt and jeans. The tempature was about 40 degree's, but it felt extra cold because of a slight breeze. She didn't seem to mind it though.
She walked for some time and ended up walking past Kyrsten and Alan's car, but didn't pay them much mind and continued walking down the path.

Alan looked at Kyrsten as she came back out and teased her "That outfit looks so good, I'm glad you decided to wear it three days in a row." he laughed slightly and jumped into his car. He sat in the driver's seat and turned it on causing the slightest hum. He zipped his car silently down to the beach grinning slightly all the way. He parked the car right on the beach and laied out a blanket for him and Kyrsten. He looked at one person who looked undressed for the weather and waved to her in a friendly way.
(Kyrsten)
Kyrsten wore a long sleeved black shirt with a skull on it, grey jeans, a black wool coat with a skull on it, and a pair of striped fingerless gloves. She grabbed their bag of bathroom supplies and tossed it in the car as she came out. She smiled at Alan "Just for you." she rolled her eyes at him as he drove "You were always smug, this car just makes you a smug ass." she laughed slightly at him, in truth his car was comfy, would be better if it didn't take 12 hours to charge for every 200 miles. She walked out and laid down on the blanket eating a small muffin.

"Damnit! Revive me already slowpokes!" Gordon shouted into the microphone as he pounded his fist on his desk. "We gotta get movin' or we are going to be here all damn day long!" He said angrily. Everyone just ignored him and was tempted to leave him there dead.
(Ariadne)
Ariadne waved back to the person who waved at her with a smile. She wanted to check out the beach today and see if anything interesting floated up on the beach.
Suddenly off in the distance, vagually over the mountain, there was a big bright flash coming from whoknowswhat. There was gasps from the people on the beach and people pointing, going, "What was that?". Ariadne instantly started to freak out, not sure what could of possibly caused such a bright flash. She quickly ran to the closest Bar to see if they showed the news on TV, and right as she got there the people working there had changed it to the news.

Alan was admiring the mountains when a massive flash was seen over them. He looked at Kyrsten and said "Get in the car." in a tone that said he wasn't joking. He quickly moved to retrieve their pistols because he knew only one bomb would make a flash like that, I atomic bomb. He handed Kyrsten her pistol and put one in a hip holster and another in one across his chest. He locked his car and walked to the bar, taking no time to hide he was armed.
(Kyrsten)
Kyrsten was half way through her food when the blast struck. She had a hunch instantly what it was, but Alan's look confirmed it, WW3 had started. She took her gun and loaded it making sure all six chambers were filled. She locked the car behind her, it seemed odd to do something so simple in a time like this. She followed him into a bar not even hiding her pistol. He looked at the person next to her, she looked to be about 18 and had just ran in too "What do they say happened?"

"They havn't said yet" Ariadne said. "They are just getting news in from it" She added. Right as she said that, the newscaster came in and said, "It is reported that a atomic bomb has gone off in Sacramento. I am getting reports that plenty of other cities around the U.S. have also been targeted, but I don't have full confirmation yet. There is also this rumor of something very toxic coming from the atomic bomb. I will get back to you with more". It then cut to some Tide commercial, to the disgust of most of the Bar because they wanted to know more. Looking all shaky, Ariadne said, "Oh no, why are we under attack? This can't be good". She sat down at the bar and tried to relax herself.
(Gordon)
Gordon hadn't noticed anything wrong, and his parents were currently out. The only thing he noticed was his teammate mysteriously logging off without a word. "What the fuck? Why'd he log out on us?" He said into the microphone with anger. "I don't know man" Someone replied with, then another guy said, "There are reports of atomic bombs going off throughout the U.S. One of them was in Chicago, where he lived". "Oh shit man, that is terrible" He said with a sigh, then added, "Let's call off this raid until things calm down".

Man's eyes widened 'Atomic war? Why, how?' He guessed it didn't matter now. He covertly walked out and grabbed Kyrsten's hand to pull her out too. He looked scared and told her "I have antiradiation meds in the car, we will be safe from the fallout. It is just you and me right now, ok, we have to stick together." he put his hand on his gun "The relative calm won't last, there will be panic and violence like you wouldn't believe. We should get out of the city." he looked at the person from the beach and was sure she had heard every word of that.
Kyrsten started crying once she heard the.news, she knew Alan would never go back down the mountain to help their parents. She walked out with Alan and heard what he had to say before leaning against him and crying, he gently put his arm around her, in a comforting way. After a minute she stopped crying, it seemed to be more initial shock than anything and said "Ok Alan, when should we go?"

Ariadne did hear every word of it and frowned, but said nothing. "Where will you guys go?" She asked, her eyes getting watery now. She knew her parents were on their anniversary trip to Denver. Was it hit? She hoped not. "May I ask if I can go with you guys?" She said with a sigh.
(Gordon)
Gordon quit the game and went outside. not sure what to think. He headed to the local Bar to see the news. It took him awhile to walk there so he wasn't quite there yet. At his house they sacrificed TV for internet, so they couldn't pop on the news in their house.

Alan looked at her "I don't know, but people will flee cities, society will decay around us, and I plan to be about a hundred miles away from a charge station when that happens." he thought and said "Well we don't even know you, and you will consume our supplys, so...." he was suddenly elbowed by Kyrsten who said "Be nice Alan." he rolled his eyes and said "Ok, you can come with us, but you must respect that my car my rules, so wipe your feet before getting in."
(Kyrsten)
Kyrsten nodded to Alan, they should first observe, it could be one attack or a full atomic war. She smiled at the new person, she liked her and elbowed Alan when he was going to say no, and told him to be nice. She smiled when he said "His car his rules and she pulled part of his trench coat open showing his revolver "He is a serious guy. Aren't you Alan?" he rolled his eyes at her but said nothing.

"Sadly all that you say is so true" Ariadne said with a sigh. "Don't worry. I wouldn't want to be disrespectful to other people or their stuff" She said with a smile. She made a slight gasp in suprise at the revolver but said nothing against it. People needed protection now, so the revolver was fine with her. She just hoped it was used on the right people. "Can I bring a couple of things with me from my house?" She asked.

Cody had been sitting in his window, looking thoughtfull, when he'd seen the flash outside. His eyeswidened and he jumped up, grabbed his Barrette sniper rifled, then hiesitated before grabbing his Lord Of the Rings collectible sword. He sling the sniper rifle over his back, then headed down to the nearest bar, because he could barely afford to pay the bills since his parents died, let alone pay for TV. He got there to late to see the news report, though. "Anyone know what's going on?" He asked.

Alan pulled his trench coat out of Kyrsten's hand and walked toward his car. He looked back at her and asked "What kind of things?" he opened the back door and said "Get in please." he got into the driver's seat and pressed a few buttons to disable various power drawing systems. He started the car silently and said "Were is your house?" he wouldn't let her drive his $30,000 car.
(Kyrsten)
Kyrsten kept her hand on her revolver seeing a few Nevadans with shotguns and rifles already moving toward their trucks to try and rescue people from the cities. She moved quickly to get back in Alan's car saying "God damn it Alan, why can't you have a gas car?" knowing power would be scarce and they would likely run out of power in the middle of a desert. He replied jokingly "Because, it makes me look all that more attractive, not that I need the help." she laughed slightly at him, knowing even an atomic war wouldn't burst his ego.

"Just family photos and maybe a couple of pairs of clothes" Ariadne said, getting slightly watery-eyed at thinking about her family. She was about to get in when she saw the other man approach. "Sacramento was hit with an atomic bomb, and likely multiple other places" She said with a sigh, then got in. She told him the address as she fastened her seatbelt. At the stuff they said, she just rolled her eyes and said nothing.
(Gordon)
Gordon came up behind Cody and tapped on his shoulder, saying, "Dude, do you know what the fuck happened?".

Cody's eyebrows went up in surprised when Ariadne said that Sacramento was hit with a bomb. He stared after her then jumped when Gordon tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to look at him and said,"Apparently Sacramento was hit with a bomb..."
