Cutter looked at the woman. She looked fairly young, maybe in her twenties, though it was hard to judge. She looked somewhat wild, and had frankly terrible posture. He wondered how it was possible for someone to look so-he searched for the right word- casual in the Wasteland. "What's your name?" Cutter asked.

"Sylvie." Sylvia answered, getting closer to the man, but still a respectable distance. She was aware that humanity had most likely turned on itself at this point. Frankly she didn't care much. If she died then she was dead. "Yours?" She asked.

Cutter looked around and finally lowered his gun. "James Cutter." he replied, holding out a hand."Damn, it's good to see you. I was starting to wonder if I was ever gonna talk to another human again." He was trying his best to sound friendly, but wasn't entirely sure if he was succeeding. His social skills had probably deteriorated over time.

"Well, in that case it's nice to meet you, James Cutter." Sylvie grinned, shaking the man's hand. His hand is very firm. Sylvie noted. She supposed her hand felt like rubber or something compared to him, though it wasn't like she was actually concerned about that. He sounded... strained, perhaps that was the way to put it? Though Sylvie at least felt safer to see that he had a gun, and that it wasn't pointed at her.

Cutter smiled as well, but soon stopped. Great, he'd found another human, or rather, another human had found him. Now what? "We should probably get out of the open, it's gonna be freezing soon enough." he said, gesturing towards the trees. "Want something to eat?" Cutter asked

"Yeah." Sylvie sighed, realizing that there would be no campfires. She winced. Well, it had been a few years since she'd last had one, but she couldn't really help the memories. "And no need for the food, I, ah, I've just eaten before meeting you." Sylvie replied. "You'd better lead, I'll follow. I've never seen these trees before."

Cutter almost smiled. "Trees are trees." he muttered. "C'mon." he beckoned and walked back the way he had come. He looked around one last time. Why did he get the feeling that something else, and somewhat less pleasant, was going to happen tonight? He searched and found the answer. For him, good news was always accompanied by bad news. He shook his head, sighed, and walked into the clearing where his supplies were neatly arranged on the ground.

(I'm looking at the lack of history here, but with the amnesia...)(Accepted... just.)

Sylvie followed Cutter, careful to keep her footing. He led her to his camp, or more accurately, a clearing with supplies neatly arranged in a pile on the ground. She wolf whistled, seeing that his supplies weren't that awful, unlike her. She hadn't thought ahead to save any food years ago. Actually, how did he get so much food? It's not like there are many humans with supplies who are willing to share. Sylvie almost vomited when she'd killed her first human, even though she had done it for food he had plenty of. Wait. Did that mean...?
"You're not a bandit or something, are you?" Sylvie asked.

"What?" Cutter looked up. "No, no. 100 percent grade-A marine here, ma'am." he said, patting his chest. Then he remembered that the Marines didn't exist anymore and couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. "What about you? Not gonna kill me in my sleep, are you?" he asked, only half-joking. He sat down and picked up the bar of chocolate that he had left on his cap. Most of his supplies came straight for his former base's Commissary and mess hall, but he had picked up some stuff on the way. The only thing that was in short supply was water.

(As for that recap, Cutter has met Sylvie and, after some initial distrust, Cutter has led Sylvie into a clump of trees where his supplies are. More or less it at this point.)

"The Marines don't exist anymore, do they?" Sylvie sighed. "And no, rest assured I won't be strangling you in your sleep anytime soon." Besides, you'd probably have me full of bullets before I can cut off your oxygen. Sylvie thought. She glanced at the bar of chocolate. How on earth had he gotten that? Chocolate was... when had been the last time she'd eaten chocolate, anyways?

"Nah, they don't exist anymore... along with everything else." Cutter said. He followed her gaze to his hand and guessed the rest. Despite everything, it was extremely easy for him to guess what people were thinking. He'd had enough unspoken curses thrown at him from rookies to prove that. "Want some?" he asked, holding out the bar. For a moment, he wondered why he was offering, but immediately dismissed the thought. They'd have to help each other if they wanted to survive.

"Thanks." Sylvie whispered as she took a small square of chocolate. She almost moaned when she felt the chocolate melt in her mouth. Never mind chocolate, low long had it been since she'd had anything as delicious as sweetness in her mouth? "I'll never take sugar for granted again if we ever get through this." Sylvie muttered, mostly to herself. "How long have you been alone?" She asked Cutter. "And, uh, don't answer if it's a touchy subject."

"Umm..." he counted on his fingers. "Four years, six months since I last saw a friendly human being." he answered. "Actually, as far as friends go, I didn't have many even before the incident. Came with the job." he said. "What about you? You look like you've been through hell and back." he remarked.

"I do not!" Sylvie protested. "I just happen to not care about how I look, therefore I look horrible." She muttered, though she knew Cutter's assessment was probably correct. A comb was not something she considered essential. "The last time I saw another human being... well, let's just say I ended up black and blue almost all over. But hey, being a cheerleader has given me plenty of broken bones and swollen ankles, so I was fine. I think that was..." Sylvie paused for a moment, trying to remember. "A few years ago."

"Hmm... must've been tough... for a civilian." he muttered. Then he decided to steer the conversation towards his favorite topic. "Do you have any weapons?" he asked, almost cheerfully. He'd always had an interest in ways to kill things, possibly because of the several battles he'd been in.

Jack stumbled through the forest, looking over his shoulder to see if 'they' had followed him. 'They' weren't. He sighed. "Thank god for maze-like forests." He said. He kept on walking, lost himself. He came across a clearing, which had two figures in it. They didn't seem like the monsters he had seen earlier. 'Could they really be human?' He thought excitedly. He said a quick "Hello!" from the bushes, just so as to not scare them into running away.

"Only a knife, and I don't know how to actually use it properly. And I have a gun, but my aim is worse than a Stormtrooper's." Sylvie answered. "Sorry." She squeaked out. She really was quite useless. Not to mention the happiness in his voice when he asked about weapons... it's probably wrong that it amused her, but weapons were weapons and they were really, really useful in this new world.

There was a quick "Hello!" from the bushes at the edge of the clearing. On instinct she stood up and had crouched, ready to jump and flee. Oh wait, she'd have to bring Cutter with her. But he was a Marine, and he was more experienced. She would follow his lead, for the time being, Sylvie decided. She glanced at Cutter to see how he had responded to the threat.
