"Hey, Evelyn!" She called her over, not too loudly though. She started walking towards her and carefully picked her away over the walker bodies.

"Hi!" Evelyn called back, waving. She picked up the pace and made sure she was stepping over the bodies. Finally reaching her, she stopped and crossed her arms. "What's up? Is everything okay?" she looked her up and down to make sure she wasn't injured.

(No problem firestar!)
She moved her arms away, "yes, I'm fine. I just thought you should take a look at something." She started pushing back branches and bushes as Mackenzie worked her way toward the clearing. The body was still there, in its gruesome looking state. "Take a look at its forhead."

"Ew." Evelyn took a closer look. "Could it be a symbol from a gang or something?" she looked back at the girl.

"I haven't seen any other people out here except for you and that guy." She motioned to the stranger that saved her with his odd weapon. Mackenzie thought for a moment, she was always following the roads and highways. Not inside a forest of any kind. There could be a gang in its depths for all she knew. *I should have kept walking, ignoring this, and maybe I wouldn't worry about getting jumped or something.*

"Well, I guess all we can do is hope they're friendly." She shrugged and sighed. "I haven't encountered to many hostile humans, anyways," she thought for a moment. "But, encountering a gang of sorts would be..interesting." If it ever did happen, she wasn't looking forward to it.

"Intresting? You think it would be intresting?" She scoffed, "How about dangerous? I know you've said you haven't killed anyone but I have, and believe me. Their gang held me captive for a whole month! If there is a gang around here, I don't want to be apart of it, or anywhere near where they strike. People do scary things when they try to preserve themselves and their people. He tired to kill me so as self-preservation, I killed him."

Evelyn was taken aback by this information. "Wait, wait. You know this gang? And they held you captive? And you killed their leader?!" She stood up, looking Mackenzie in the face. "So you're telling me you know who these people are?" Millions of questions were running through Evelyn's head as she looked at the young girl expectantly.

"No, not this group! A different one! They weren't very far away, maybe another 50 miles down where we just came from. I killed a random group memeber that jumped out at me my first instinct was to grab my gun and shoot and thats what I did." Mackenzie would have liked to kill the leader of this new group. What kind of sane group would mark bodies with an 'R'? Or maybe its just one insane person...

Bonnie crept through the woods quietly, avoiding a few branches in her path. The sound of voices made her crouch, drawing out her sword suspiciously as she headed towards them. Emerging from a few bushes, she stopped abruptly at the sight of two...humans? She blinked in surprise but kept her sword at the ready. "Who are you?" The girl inquired, her dark eyes alight with curiosity.

John nodded along, listening to the conversation. "I have an idea." He announced. "What if one of us pretends to be hurt and catch one of them unaware, and when they approach, we ambush them? We can figure out what their intentions are and why they're carving Rs in people's foreheads."

Mackenzie was about to say something to the stranger that saved her but heard someone from the bushes behind her. Mackenzie pulled out her gun, "Who are you?" She countered, not ready to address who she was.

Evelyn looked over to the man that was standing by Mackenzie before, and upon opening her mouth to ask his name, it immediately snapped shut as she looked over at the bushes, startled.

A figure stood a bit off from the other group of humans. He was dressed quite nicely, a tuxedo despite the new world he was quite well kept. He was out looking for new recruits, and the guy with the R marked on his head was a guy who failed his little test for joiners. The black suited man was carrying a sniper rifle on his back with a silencer on it. He also had a pair of binoculars which were currently in his hands. "Look at them... Not lambs." He commented to his partner. The Roman Empire was a smart group they never sent one person out alone. They always had a partner, and in this case the old man eating some chips was his.
"Dammit Kain I wanna get drunk hurry this crap up!" The old man commanded as he stood up, and rubbed his head. "He failed the test so I think this was a failure mission. Let's goooooo." He commented as he ate his chips. However he sighed when Kain didn't respond. "What!?" He growled to the man wanting to know why he wasn't responding.
"Shhh you old idiot." Kain commanded, and put the binoculars into a backpack, and tossed it to his partner. "Go back without me, I'm going to introduce myself to these lovely people." He informed, and climbed down the ladder that led up to his little perch that he was using to scout the area. "Tell Caesar I'm investigating a new group." He added before he reached the bottom of the ladder, and began walking over to the group.
The Trash Man simply shrugged, and took the pack. He wasn't going to complain he wanted to get drunk so this was his opportunity to go back home.
Kain on the other hand simply walked over to the group of people looking at the victim. "Greetings ladies, and gentleman." He greeted calmly he dealt with people all the time so he wasn't too worried about being shot. "I see you found my friend." He added his gaze going to the head with the R. "My name's Kain, and the R stands for the Roman Empire." He laughed as he informed them of the dumb name his brother came up with.

Mackenzie said nothing, she whipped around from facing the other person to this new one. She locked her sights on his head, ready to shoot if need be, "The Roman Empire? Were you guys history geeks before this or something?" She said. Not revealing anything about her. He looked to dressed for the apocalypse. And he has a group...*I don't need a group, especially that group of tards.* she thought

"Roman empire..." John whispered half to himself. raising his voice, he added, "I think I've heard of you, though I assumed it was nothing more than a hoax. A trap made by raiders looking to prey upon unaware travelers looking for protection. I've heard some terrible things about you all though." John reached inside of his bag and pulled out a small notebook and a pencil, crudely sharpened by knife. "Tell me about you and your groups... motivations, so to speak. Why did you carve an R into that man's head?"

Kain looked at her for a few moments, and raised an eyebrow. "I don't remember inviting you to join." He stated with a confused tone this was one of the few times he wasn't lying. He didn't really want these people in his group, more he was looking to see if they would be worth turning into workers for the group. Kain was the guy who tried to become your friend, and get you to do the work. However if his plans failed Nathan was the type of guy do force the group on their knees, and kill one of their members while singing. "The leader was a history teacher, oddly enough." He added when she questioned about the name. "You should be more nice, if I was hostile you have been dead a long, long time ago." He mentioned as he pointing to the large building he had come from. "I'm quite good at sniping, in fact I've come here to simply introduce you guys to the group." He stated, and stuck his hands in his pocket in a casual manner. "Because depending on how I report your little rag tag group here to my leader is how we proceed. My group can be an ally, or we can be a enemy. Though one thing for sure is we are a big group, with a big base, and big guns. Those guns can either be pointing at walkers, or at you. So how about you stop with the gun pointing." He stated as he kicked a rock. "Oh, and before you ask why you shouldn't blow my brains out right here, to give a message to our group.... Eh, do it. I really care less if you kill me to be honest what's in the after life is better than this. Though let's just say my leader doesn't take kindly to the killing of his people, and he will find out." He kept a calm face the entire time as he looked at all the survivors near him. "So what's it gonna be? Gun pointing enemies, or casual friends?" He asked as he store straight into the barrel of the girl's gun. He turned as he heard the guy speak, and laughed. "Motives?! You want are motives?" He bent over as he laughed, and looked at him. "To survive, maybe?! What else would we be doing? As for the R we do it to mark are victims so people know we are active in this area." He informed.

"But why not brand the walkers, rather than people?" John inquired. "Then those near by would understand there was a group nearby, and there would be no need for killing anyone!" After jotting sown a few things in his notebook, he looked up at the man again and indicated to the head with the R on it's forehead. "What threat was this person to you?"

Mackenzie didn't lower her gun, but felt more hesitant to shoot him, "Is that a threat?" She asked more boldly than she felt. This...empire...seemed to use fear as one of their tactics rather than mutual respect. "Why did you come out here anyway?" She demanded. He wasn't giving her the answers she wanted, he seemes full of empty-or real-threats versus actually sitting down and talking. *Just like cowards* she thought. Depending on their numbers rather than the group members themselves. She wasn't going to correct him on him thinking that they were a group. Thata wasn't important right now. Once they can get out of this, they can all go as they were before.

Kain looked at the guy for a second, and rubbed the side of his head. "Cause.... I felt like it." He gave his honest answer he didn't feel like explaining that if he let this guy live he could have raided his base later when the group of off doing something. He then looked at the girl, and sighed taking out a cigarette, and lighter. "Wow, I need a reason to say hi to fellow humans?" He asked with a laugh as he put the lighter in his pocket. "No, it's not a threat. I've yet to decide if I want to offer you guys a deal. I'm merely giving a friendly warning. If Caesar finds you raiding in are territory you will be killed, or ..... well worse to be quite frank" He then stretched his arms as he enjoyed his smoke. However when he finished he quickly clapped. "Luckily you aren't in Roman Territory, but you are close." He informed with a smile as he adjusted his stance. "Anyways I was bored, and was going to offer you guys do whatever you are doing." He stated he was willing to help find them supplies if they had been more friendly. "Welp, seems you want me gone. There's a billboard a bit up north from here with that R sprayed on it. Be wary if you see it, I'd recommend just driving through. Though it's up to you really, so if you don't take my warning when you see it well don't say I didn't warn you." With that he tossed his smoke on the ground, and snuffed it out with his foot. "Though if you are willing to be more friendly, and come into are territory find one of our guys, and give them the name Kain. They'll take you to the hideout, unless you give my name after being caught stealing in are territory... Then they'll just kill you." He laughed, and turned around to leave. "Well they'd kill the guy, you girls might have a worse time." He stated, and began to walk off seeing as he wasn't wanted there.

"Sounds like a threat to me." She stated, just loud enough to be sure this Kain person could hear her. "What you should be doing is marking the areas of your territory if you're so touchy about someone getting close to your 'border'. You can't expect everyone around here to know where your mafia is located so they can steer clear." She said these words with confidence. Her gun wasn't lowered just in case he got ANY ideas.

Evelyn was just kind of...flabbergasted. She watched as this "Roman Empire" man went on with his whole spiel silently, with wide eyes. She hadn't seen a human who wasn't covered in gore and nearly a skeleton in days, and the idea of a big group was somewhat..comforting to her. She shook away the thought. Getting taken advantage of had been a theme in her apocalyptic adventures, and she'd rather not go through with it for the umpteenth time. As he walked away, she looked over to Mackenzie, the man who was next to her, and looked back to the bushes to see if that girl was still there.

Evelyn looked back over to Mackenzie and whispered back. "I dunno, but it's probably not best to interfere." Her eyes darted around. "If they've good a good thing going for them right now, we should probably just let them be. If they have managed to survive this trainwreck, they're probably nobody to mess with anyways."

Bonnie had been about to answer the other girl's question, though as more people arrived she thought it best to stay silent and listen. Upon hearing the words "Roman Empire," she raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Safety in numbers. What a joke. She shook her head thoughtfully and regarded the others, taking a few silent steps back into the shadows.

Mackenzie looked at Evelyn for a minute, "Go make sure that other one over there doesn't try anything." She motioned to the woman in the bushes. Hardly anyone around here said anything about themselves and Mackenzie was sick of it. She wanted answers. She went from being alone to being surrounded by like 7 people. What a turn of events... she thought. Mackenzie was only looking for her relatives, no one else. But it seems like others have found their way to her. However, there was no way she would let them stick around; she can take care of herself.
