[Yeah, Jack doesn't buy this fictional character bullshit. His years of military service sure as hell feel real, and considering the circumstances, he's not about to let himself get bogged down in the "maybes" when it could mean letting good people die.

Speaking of good people...]

You comin' or what? [He calls behind him. He figures their best bet is to find resources. Food, water, shelter. But they have to keep moving for now.]

[slay]

Nah, I was just gonna hang around, [ she dismisses as she moves to follow after him, ] wait for the zombies to descend. Maybe make some new friends!

[badexample]

Yeah? Let me know how that works out for you.

[As he walks, he surveys the area.] Alright, so city limits is about 50 yards south. We can find supplies, but it also means a higher concentration of ... Well, you know.

[Saying zombies is hard. Why is this so unbelievable after everything he's seen?]

You ready?

[slay]

Zombies. You can say it, Jack. [ i've decided they've exchanged names already, dealwithit.gif. ] You're gonna be face-to-face with them pretty routinely for the foreseeable future. Might as well wrap your head around the word.

[ It's a mad rush, her boots kicking up a tiny puff of rust-coloured dirt every time they slam down. The roof isn't far, but each foot seems to take a lifetime to cross and the sound of the undead horde gaining on them is no comfort. ]

[ She grabs a hold of the flagpole, ignoring the rotted cord that had once hoisted the American standard (or whatever country they're in; she hasn't yet placed the terrain.) Shimmying up it gives her the height to jump over to the roof, and she lands hard, rolling her legs up and dropping her hand down to the blonde girl she'd found running from the pack that she's fleeing from now. ]

With me!

[ She's only a young girl, though Natasha can see determination in her frame, practicality in the way she runs, conserving her strength. Alone, neither of them may have a chance, but together... Natasha presses her face into the rough edge of the roof, heedless of the pain, and wills her to jump high enough on the first try. ]

[ being rescued is never something buffy likes.

in fact, she avoids it at all costs, and not even intentionally -- it's just not how things happen. she's usually the one doing the saving.

unfortunately, she's just made the nearly fatal mistake of assuming she was still at full slayer strength. discovering she's not ... well, it throws quite the kink in things. when the redhead shouts down to her, buffy looks up, frazzled, sweating and heart pounding, but not scared.

she takes a step back, jumps up onto a crate edge and then springs up to grab the offered hand. okay. not entirely useless. not cruciamentum levels of useless. she can do this.

she works with natasha to hoist herself up onto the roof, eventually grabbing onto the ledge and rolling over onto it, breathing hard. she doesn't take time to rest, though, and gets to her feet. ] Weapons? [ it's optimistic, she knows that, but she has to ask. ]

[ex_spins462]

[ Natasha doesn't quite see it as a rescue so much as teamwork. Which is why when the girl's up she stands, but doesn't keep moving straight away, leave her just this side of safe and continue on her lonesome. ]

I have a gun.

[ Also her bites, but she's saving those for a special occasion — who knows how long the power's gonna last out here. Still, she tips her head at Buffy, and then turns, starting to climb further up the roof, hoping the height will help her to get her bearings. ]

Let's not make a last stand just yet, okay?
