The end is the beginning (Christian_Day/Zombie Chew Toy)

[Christian_Day]

No one really knows who threw the first stone, some say it was the United States. Some say it was the Former Soviet Union, some say it was neither, but engineered by some aliens for god knows what purpose.

When the day came and the bombs fell alot of humanity died that day, both in terms of number of people and how they acted. If roaches were the ultimate survivor, man decided to mimic them. Hiding in holes and being able to live anywhere. Some pockets of humanity survived, with various degrees of civilization.

New York City was leveled with heavy casualties. However, that didn't stop people from migrating and then blowing up every last bridge to cut off any easy access to it. There's a neighborhood in NYC (which people call Not Your City!) where almost anything can be had for a price. Mostly poison free water, mostly radiation free water, and mostly safe medicine, and if you're really lucky you can sometimes pick up work.

Joan had arrived outside Not Your City last night. She had heard that they had good water and medicine. She needed both. She had been bitten pretty badly by a stray dog and she wanted to make sure she didn't have rabies or anything of the sort.

For a woman, Joan had adapted pretty well to this new, hostile enviorment. All those years of learning how to fight and defend herself were finally paying off as well as being an amazing conman. Oh how her body got her things no one else had. It was amazing what some one was willing to give just to grope or maybe just look at her. And Joan was fine with that, if things got out of hand she always had her fighting skills or her guns.

As she entered the City, the people there openly stared, though she was used to it. She looked around, obviously not quite sure where she was going, until she saw the sign. She looked at a paper she held and nodded, going into the building. She wasn't nerveous in the least, she just needed to be checked out and make sure she was alright. That was simple right? She walked into the office and looked about, signing in and sitting down until she was called to see the doctor. As she sat there, she fidgeted with her sandy blonde hair, It was fairly long, though chopped up in layers so it looked kind of strange, but very attractive. She sighed, sticking her hand in her pocket and pulling out a small, discolored rubix cube that she started fiddling with. Baggy cargo pants came in handy when carrying a bunch of things though the stuff wieghted them down so they sat low on her hips.
