"So, let me get this straight-" Ivy – Grumpy from the strange sleep and the pain in her stomach from hitting a tree branch on the way down – frowned as she spoke; "we were kidnapped by a crazy old man who told us we were Guinea pigs and – either magically or scientifically – sent us into a post-apocalypse, FICTIONAL universe?"

Karis, Ivy and Rachel were now sitting under the crumbling building, recovering from their headaches and, well, other aches that resulted in landing on hard, solid earth when falling from some sort of non-lethal height. Karis and Rachel looked at each other for a moment, then back to Ivy. "Pretty much." Rachel frowned, "Seriously though, this place is dangerous..."

"Yeah, I know. I remember playing this at your house, Rachel, and how I died at every other second!" Ivy threw her arms into the air, "This is hopeless! Me and Karis are going to die straight off the bat, while Rachel has at least a 50% chance of actually living for longer than half a minute!"

"We're doomed." Karis groaned.

"Guys, c'mon, we'll survive longer than that! I can deal with the whole gun shooting and killing thing, Right? It's just....we need gun's and some Bottle caps." Rachel got up. She looked at her clothes, "And some new clothes."

"Why new clothes?" Ivy frowned as she and Karis stood as well, wiping the dust off their clothes.

"We're too modern looking. We're gonna stick out like sore thumbs." She looked around, "We should kill some Radstag's, and I can make us more Commonwealth-y clothes so we don't stick out too much."

"What's a Radstag?"

"It's a mutated Creature." Rachel smiled, she stretched her arms above her head, "C'mon, Let's rummage around in here and see if we can find anything useful. Ivy, can you keep your eyes out for bottle caps?"

"If you need me to, yeah." Ivy rubbed her hands on her legs to massage some of the sore muscles, then walked as carefully as she could up the slightly dangerous wooden stairs that could possibly collapse under ivy's weight. For around two hours, the three girls were searching through the rubble. Ivy found a Red bandana that surprisingly had no rips or tears, Karis found a crowbar that was in fairly good shape (Rachel convinced her to keep it as a weapon-) And Rachel found two 10mm bullets.

They searched the entire building, then sat down for a break. Ivy was using the bandana to tie the crowbar across her sisters back. It worked, after a while. They decided that one blunt melee weapon was better than being completely defenceless. Rachel decided it would be good for them to Move on to another place and search there.

They walked for two days with only half an hour each of sleep in what Rachel hoped was a northern direction. "Why is it better to go north?" Ivy asked; "In the game, the farther south you go, the more dangerous it is."

They finally got to somewhere they could look for something, at around midnight. They were all hungry and tired now, So they searched in silence. Karis found some 'fancy lads snack cakes' and ate one whole packet, then gave the other two to her friends. While they ate she continued to search, and she got a gun. Rachel said it was a pipe pistol, and they finally had a long range weapon with ammo.

Rachel slept until the sun came up, let her friends sleep on and left to hunt. She found a group of Radstag's. After a bit of hunting and tedious dragging of the dead animals, she was back at the shop and skinning them, saving the meat to cook at a cooking station.

Ivy woke to Rachel making a slight yelp of pain. When she turned she was totally baffled. Rachel had stolen her shoe! How dare she? "Rachel, why did you take my shoe?!" She cried, rubbing her eyes. Two days of walking with no sleep, and now she awakes after having a pleasant dream to find her shoe STOLEN! "I'm making you new shoes ivy, See?" Ivy opened her green eyes to see a new pair of leather shoes. Rachel gave her the first one she finished, and continued the final touches on the last one.

Ivy was impressed by how soft the shoe was. She noticed that the thread Rachel used was the wrong colour – black. Obviously she used her own soft silk cardigan for thread. She giggled when she put on the other shoe. The first one – the left shoe – came up to her knee, but the other one came just about a inch short. It looked quite wonky, but actually quite fashionable for this ruined world.

"It took me one whole adult Radstag to make those two shoes." Rachel looked at her sore fingers, slightly bloody from where she pricked her fingers with her makeshift needle, a splinter of wood of which she poked a hole. She looked behind her at the other things she made. She had made shoes for Ivy, Herself and Karis. She decided before that tops and jeans and such would be uncomfortable in leather, so she used the scraps to make bags for them.

Ivy's was a backpack that was quite large, with one compartment Rachel figured they could store their money. Karis's was a Large bag, Rachel hoped it would be useful in some way. For herself she made a holster for her gun. Somehow she managed to make them things out of leather. "Hey Rachel?"

"yeah?"

"What are those lumps of fleshy looking stuff?"

"That's the meat from the Radstag's. If we can get a fire going, we can cook some." And they did, after breaking branches off the already dead trees. Ivy got it on fire by using a magnifying glass and the sun. Karis woke to the smell of frying meat, and her new items. They ate some of the meat for breakfast, and put what was left in Karis's bag. Ivy kept the magnifying glass and the frying pan they found.

"So far we're doing pretty good." Ivy commented.

"Um, we'd be doing better... If I didn't use up all my ammunition hunting..." Rachel cringed.

"OH, COME ON!" Karis wailed.
