Surviving the Unknown (Full)

[.:Forcing Laughter:.]

Artemis reached 'The hole', Eyes wide.
She stood around, feeling unsure of herself. She had her bag on her back and Apollo in her arms, wiggling restlessly. She started to make her way towards the entrance.

"I highly doubt it, there's a lot out there that could kill us and it will be the thing we least expect. I'm sure life expectancy has dropped to twenty within the last twelve hours. They're crazy out there." Tess smiled back at him, only to look up at her buddy, who had taken to scratching her shoulder with his nose. "Thank you, I tried to pick people who would strength the group rather than weaken, I'm sure we'll all make up for each other's personal weaknesses." She laughed softly at his compliment, smile growing as she looked over to Tohki. "Thank you again. I got him from a state auction when he was a colt and trained him from the ground up, to be honest, he's only had a saddle on him four times as he throws a fit with it and he's six... Good thing I prefer bareback anyway. Tohki's very pretty, much different from the stock QH I'm used to seeing."

Riley laughed. "That's great. I prefer to raise my horses. I owned a bit of property with two other horses, but someone stole them once... You know, this happened." He said with a frown. "But anyway, I learned to ride bareback as a child. A saddle doesn't feel right to me. Too bulky and heavy and a pain in the neck to put on and take off." He looked at Tohki and scratched underneath his forlock, which made his close his eyes and bob his head in rythym to Riley. Riley chuckled a bit at this.

"Yeah, I grew up on a ranch and we were breeding, training, buying and selling horses all the time. I've only had two really great horses in my life, the ones that you exchange pieces of your soul with." She spared a glance to Kal, leaning back just enough to kiss his forehead. "First one was this big, black Tennessee Walker gelding and he died the year before I got Kal, who is the other one and oddly enough he was only a year old. I'm almost certain that they have the same soul, Kal is just like Liggie was but with that classic Kiger twist to it all." Tessa laughed softly, shaking her head at herself. "I could talk about it for hours but I guess my main point is, Kal is the perfect horse for me and I'm pretty sure he'd jump through fire for me but that also comes from being the first and only human to earn his trust."

Riley laughed. "You know you're a horse person when you can talk about one horse for three hours straight." He said. "That's what kind of person I am." He looked at her and smiled. "I adore horses. I hope they don't die out, but they are a hardy species."

Tessa smiled at him, nodding slightly. "Oh yeah, I don't know where I'd be without horses. But I'm sure they'll be better off than us. They were here long before human, I'm sure they'll be here long after since they've already survived a good amount of our doing."

Scarlet watched the guy leave her room with a glare in her eyes. She did not take it lightly when somebody walked into her area but she kept her mouth shut knowing that she did not need to make enemies anytime soon now that she was living here. Everyone needed as much friends as they could get. As the guy walked by her doorway again Scarlet made sure to close her door with her hip. She stayed standing again the door for a few moments before she remembered what she was planning to do in the first place. She walked over to the unpacked bag and started to unpack her things humming a little tune as she did so.

Tessa smiled at him, nodding slightly. "Oh yeah, I don't know where I'd be without horses. But I'm sure they'll be better off than us. They were here long before human, I'm sure they'll be here long after since they've already survived a good amount of our doing."

Riley gave a nod of agreement. He shrugged his bulky backpack into a more comfortable position. "So is there a place I can put my things?" He asked. He had the backpack on for several hours already, and was quite eager to take it off.

"Oh! Of course." She gave Kal one last pat before waving Riley to follow her, giving him a mini tour as they walked. Finally, they reached the row of rooms and she stopped at the first one. "I'm not sure which are taken, I've only seen a few people, hopefully once everyone is here we can get together and introduce ourselves."

[.:Forcing Laughter:.]

Artemis walked towards the enterance awkwardly, wonderin gwhere everybody was.
Apollo continued to whine and wriggle in her arms, begging to be let down.

Tessa waited for him to get settled before disappearing to stop at each room and announce that they should all meet in the living room in five minutes since everyone, or almost everyone was there. As she walked, she counted, seeming to be missing one. She shrugged, perhaps the last girl had decided not to show. Sitting herself on the of the couches, she waited for everyone to join her.
