// Hey there friends! My name is Kip ( She/Her - Canadian - 27 - EST ) And this is my roleplay blog for Kal from The.Walking.Dead. I have written Kal for a few years and I’m also close friends with James.Chen who plays him, so I get a few hc’s from him and jokes about his character and such.  But nonetheless! This blog is low actvity as i am waiting on threads and for people to like my starter calls-- please like them. I am also okay with plotting if you prefer to plot. Also cool with just straight up messaging and being like “We should write.” because 90% of the time I would say yes. And my son needs more threads. My other Walking.Dead roleplay blog is @cobelere​-- Which I have moved Jerry to my multimuse @merveiilles due to his low activity. If I’m not over here, you can surely find me over there and ask if you would like to write with Kal. I’m okay with that. <3  Thank you for stopping by, survivors. And happy apocalypse!

     maggie   knows   how   to   handle   herself,   of   that   carol   is   certain.      still,   to   not   hear   back   at   all?      it   was   a   little   CONCERNING.      after   rick   had   disappeared,   maggie   left.      but   she’d   always   leave   messages   in   the   box   they   had   stashed   in   the   woods.      but   if   it’s   been   a   few   weeks?      it   was   suspicious   for   sure.      even   worse,   they   couldn’t   even   go   LOOKING   for   maggie,   because   they   had   NO   IDEA   where   the   settlement   she’d   gone   to   was.      ❝   i’m   sure   that   her   and   hershel   are   alive.      she   fights   like   hell,   i   know   she’d   do   ANYTHING   to   keep   them   alive.      but   if   it’s   been   a   while…      makes   you   wonder   if   maybe   she’s   DONE   with   all   of   this.   ❞

      𝓘t was unsettling as a thorn in Kal’s side, Carol’s worlds. Being done with all of this? There was only one place he could think that they could theoretically go if they were tired of the apocalypse life. “ --She wouldn’t do that. Like you said. She’s a fighter and she’d do anything to keep going in this world. Hershel doesn’t deserve to live in a world without both of his parents.” He said somewhat flatly. “ We could get a couple trackers out there, retrace Maggie’s steps from the drop off box. Even then... we don’t know how far away or who else had been walking along those paths.”

Anita watched as Kal looked over the books and picked which book would be lucky enough to come back with them, far from the decaying library that no longer had a caretaker. She gave little thought to mold or mildew on the books as he had, but Anita was paying more attention to the surrounding area than what books he’d chosen.

“I really liked Joe Hill, too.”  She wasn’t sure why she was going through the authors she had enjoyed who, were no doubt lost to the world – either eaten or turned. Looking down at the pile that would be a heavy tote back home, Anita offered him a smile. “We could come back if we need more. It looks like it’s getting a little heavy.”

@hilltopguard​.

maggie misses her people, and she certainly wasn’t going to be able to help build a new community in a day. georgie kept her plenty busy, and she couldn’t say she always enjoyed it. hershel is still but a tot, and she carries him whilst hauling a backpack on her back. she usually didn’t have time to visit hilltop, but she decided to make an exception. she’s let in the gate by eduardo, and spots kal, immediately upon arrival. “kal,” she smiles, setting hershel on the ground so he can walk around, “it’s so good to see you.”

      𝓘t was a pleasant surprise to see Maggie walk through Hilltop’s gates, he himself had been training a few younger members of the community and let them know to take a few minutes break while he talks with Maggie. He set his spear down against a nearby picnic table and walked toward his familiar friend. Once he was within a couple feet he stretched his arms out, bracing for a hug. “ Hey Maggie.” He smiled happily, wrapping his arms around her for a moment before letting go, not wanting it to linger on for too long and get awkward. “ Hope the trip over wasn’t too bad.” He then gestured toward a water tower with barrels filled with rain water, gravity fed through pipes for them to be able to use the taps and such in the house. “ If you want, we could put some water on to boil, could wash up. Grab some food. Settle in.” He then turned back to face her again. “ Unless you don’t plan on staying long.”

     all   the   communities   lately   are   so   BUSY   with   their   own   agendas.      trying   to   support   their   own   people,   while   also   keeping   trade   open.      well,   at   least   MOST   OF   THEM   were.      alexandria   has   since   shut   down   to   the   outside   world.      michonne   barely   contacted   them,   kept   herself   LOCKED   IN.      no   one   but   a   few   in   alexandria   know   the   cause,   and   no   one   shared.      it   wasn’t   their   story   to   tell   after   all.      ❝   i   know,   we’ve   been   really   busy   at   the   kingdom.      things   are   starting   to   FALL   APART,   we’ve   been   just   trying   to   fix   everything   to   keep   things   running.   ❞      a   sigh,   as   she   steps   down   from   the   wagon.      ❝   but,   we   finally   had   a   chance   to   come   over   with   some   goods.      i’m   hoping   that   earl   and   alden   have   some   supplies   i   can   take   back   to   help   with   the   pipes.   ❞      heads   to   the   horse   that   had   been   pulling   the   wagon,   and   gently   begins   to   lead   her   into   hilltop.      ❝   so…      have   you   guys   heard   from   maggie   yet?   ❞

    𝓚al watched as Carol stepped down from the wagon and had informed him about things falling apart-- literally. Their own community at Hilltop was needing upgrades and the most they could do was patchwork until they got the right tools in place to replace them. Thankfully they had some spare things for the Kingdom to use that was to be brought out any minute by a couple of the guys for them to take back. “Downside to this fucked up world is fixing things seems to take a lot longer. We manage though.” He gave a casual shrug of his shoulders before his gaze followed Carol in through the front gates, giving a gesture for Eduardo and Bertie to open them up and let her through. “ Not in a few weeks... We’re starting to get worried. Actually we’re past worried if I’m completely honest.”

“I learned about them a little later in life,” Anita admitted. All things pop culture had not managed to find its way into the swamps when she was a member of the People’s Temple of Peace. “Never got the chance to actually get into them. I was too old by then.”

She followed with an easy gait behind him as she allowed fingers to ghost across the book’s dusty spines. It had been such a long, long while since the books felt the gentle care of a librarian’s hands. 

“I got really into vampires. I liked Buffy. I do remember watching episodes of that when Carla would watch it when it was in syndication. Book wise though, I loved some of King’s stuff. Absolutely hated Rice.”
