Through Hell I Met You

The fact settles in your stomach like an ice cold rock. There's a good chance you're going to die here.

It's not surprising, really; you're either a prisoner in a most dangerous place possible or stuck in a cataclysmic event, both choices equally terrifying. You are surrounded on all sides by death, torture, despair, and hopelessness...all this, but you are not alone. Through this experience, you have come to meet someone else, someone in the same situation as you, a prisoner or a survivor. Perhaps you are both ruthless fighters, or total pacifists, or some combination of power and a calming influence - an important mix, given than you can't lose your heads.

This complete degradation and mutual understanding has brought you together in in a way no one else can understand. This bond is not platonic; romantic may not be the right word, not exactly, but you are closer to them than you've ever been with anyone else. It's a fire-forged relationship, made in the most dire of times. To you, they are your world. And you've made a promise, to them and to yourself. You'll get them out of this alive.

...even if you can't say the same about yourself.

{ ooc: very interested in Ellis having to be the one to give/sacrifice himself (if the prompt applies) but I'm fine with anything that happens!

[ooc: 7 is unlikely on his part. Kurogane's idea of a pep talk is to bite your head off unless you're Sakura. Not overly interested in 10 either.]

People didn't use the Z-word, but the devastation wreaked by the Croatoan virus was close enough to a zombie apocalypse that the it didn't really make a difference. Ever since the outbreak had swept across the country, Andrea had made her living procuring and distributing pharmaceuticals. It was a risky business, trekking out into the real world to find product she could trade, but the payoff was worth it. Prescriptions medication, over the counter, and recreational drugs--you name it, she had a knack for finding it. And growing it, when she could.

That was how she'd met Cas.
