[Apparently, you have to meet people before you stalk-...I MEAn fall in love]
(Short since it's just the first meeting and like most first meetings, aren't really detailed)

Brad:

You took another sip from your bottle of Potato Liquor. It was difficult because of the mask, but you dealt with it anyway. You began lightly tapping on the counter. The music in that place was horrible. There were only four people in the bar with you. The bartender, some guy on the floor, and two guys doing their own thing. You weren't paying attention to them, because frankly, you didn't give a fuck.

You noticed a man walking into the bar. With him were two people. One with a cheetah print jersey, and a big nose. The other wearing green, and having a bow. You looked at the strangers and went back to drinking. They sat down at the bar a few seats down from you.

You tried your best to ignore them, but they seemed...out of place. There was something about them that seemed different. You starred forward, lost in thought. You felt a tap on your shoulder and turned your head to the source. There stood the man with the jersey.

"Hey, I'm Terry," This 'Terry' introduced himself. "And that's Brad and Olan over there."

He pointed behind him to the other two.

"Y/C/N," you simply replied.

(Y/C/N = Your Cover Name, aka the name that you use to make sure they don't find out you're a female. If you're male or have a unisex name it becomes Your Current Name.)

"Why are you here?" He asked in pure curiosity.

You shrugged, and started moving the bottle in your hands in a circular motion, stirring the contents, "I have nowhere else to go. What about you?"

"We're looking for someone close to Brad. He won't tell us who, though," Terry explained, and the man you assumed to be Brad merely glanced at Terry and sighed before looking away.

"Good luck finding them," you wished them the best although it seemed impossible to find anyone nowadays.

"How about you come with us?" Terry smiled.

You thought for a moment. You wondered if you should go.

"I mean...I guess it wouldn't hurt," you said under your breath, but loud enough for Terry to hear.

"Woo-hoo!" He jumped up from the stool he was sitting on.

You ended up formally meeting the other two. Brad caught your attention. He was quiet and reserved. He kept to himself. Only mumbling his name out when introducing himself.

Before you knew it, you were on the road again to find whoever it was that Brad was looking for.

Terry:

You were out and about. With the end of the world, you decided there was no point in staying in one place. You began to travel all over Olathe. Some places you had to avoid going since the obstacles were too difficult, or there was something dangerous. You tried your best to get stronger so you'd be able to go to these places.

You walked past a cave entrance. You wondered if you should go in, or just keep walking. While you were deciding, two men came out of it. A man in a cheetah print jersey and a middle-aged, balding man.

They looked at you, and you looked back.

"Where did you come from?" The one in the jersey asked, startled.

"Um, what do you mean?" You asked, confused.

"You weren't here before!" The man in the jersey exclaimed.
