(Yeah, if she doesn't eat soon I'm planning on something happening to her :3)

(lol)(Okay)(What if Darren just showed up and was like 'I sensed that you weren't eating, look I bought this for you')(XD)
(That'd be cool, she'd probably actually eat then XD)
Fiona's growling stomach alerted Erin to her location before her eyes found her. "Whoa, honey, did you eat supper? I could hear your stomach from out in the hall."
(her mom senses are tingling)
(XD)
Fiona glanced at Erin, waving a hand dismissively "I'll be fine," She continued to search the station, crossing her arms over her stomach like she was trying to muffle the growls of hunger.
App groaned at Molly's question, on the verge of having a mental breakdown herself. "I don't know!" She buried her face in her hands. "Why on earth would you ever trust me to take care of him!? I'm a defective freakin' robot! I don't even know how to tell he's in breakdown mode!" She was trying her hardest not to cry, knowing Molly would hate that.
Molly rolls her eyes and looks back out beyond the platform.
"Geez, Apollyon. Okay. I just thought you were interested in helping." She shoves some hair behind her ears and bites her lip after the terrible word, 'helping'.
"If you tell yourself you can't do it, then obviously you won't…" She mumbles almost inaudibly.
App stood up. "You're right. I'm useless. I don't have any confindence in myself. I don't even know how to f***ing fuction properly! You guys probably would make better time if I don't stick around to drag you down…" She stuck her hands in her pockets and hopped down into the tracks and started to walk away, tears streaking down her face in spite of herself.
Molly glares at the figure marching away, reluctantly standing and following.
"Apollyon, you're being ridiculous, get back here." She says, walking after her.
(Meanwhile Dare and Claire and Clovis are all just sleeping XD)
App glances back only briefly. "Please just leave me alone. I just need to go calm down."
Erin planted her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow. "If you'll be fine then why are you raiding vending machines? We have food, Fiona."
App glances back only briefly. "Please just leave me alone. I just need to go calm down."
Molly stops in her tracks and stands on her toes for a moment. She sighs, running a hand through her hair and looking back to the platform.
"Fine. Fine, just come back before they start worrying, okay?"
And with that she turns around and walks back.
The best way to do it is give her my trust, give her her own space, and treat her like everyone else.
She finally climbs back up onto the platform and sits up against the wall by Clovis, taking his hand in hers.
Geez, if I can survive the apocalypse, then I can survive the drama. Right?
Clovis' hand tightens around hers, and she leans her head on his shoulder. After 48 hours of being active and awake, fighting and having anxiety attacks, she needed sleep.
App sighed as she kicked the dirt, listening to Molly's footsteps recede. When she judged she was far enough away, she let herself loose. Her claws and teeth came out, and her arms lengthened. She started running, starting out on two feet and ended up on four. Her face was wet, and she watched the wind whip them away. Finally, when she reached a small hill, she sat and cried. Long and hard.
(Who cares if we time jump?)(Or should we let the convo between Erin and Fiona play out?)
(I'm game for either)
"Because…vending machine food is better," She said, making up an excuse, "It's been quite a long time since i've been able to find any overly processed, very unhealthy but tasty vending machine food."
(IDK we can skip. Come morning they'll be heading along the railroad tracks for Claire's country//town.)(they could have a convo about that, cuz they never fully decided where they were going)
(Okay let's gooo)(next morning, 6am ?)
(I don' care. Just, Imma make it so App didn't come back the next morning. She fell asleep.)
(Okie :D)
Molly's head jerks up and her eyes suddenly pop open. She stares into the distance for a moment before sighing and leaning back again.
Just a dream.. Just a dream, Molly.
She stands, dusting the back of herself off and observing the sleeping group. She counts over them twice before realizing the one missing is App. She rolls her eyes.
Geez, that kid.
App rolled over on the grass, her soft snoring breaking up as she woke. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, face still feeling a bit crusty from her crying last night. 'C*. What time is it? I told Molly I'd be back…' She stood and stretched before using her internal compass to head back to the tracks.
Fiona had ended up finding a mostly intact bag of chips, it was small but she ended up eating it to make the others happy. She was curled up in a ball a few feet away from the others, fast asleep.
Erin sat outside the door, leaning against the hard bricks of the building, and watched the sky begin to lighten. Gotta wake the others up soon.
Molly growls under her breath and pulls her hair up into a tight pony tail. She starts to pick things up, shoving them into bags, then looks over the sleeping group. With another sleepy sigh, she bends down by Clovis, taking his hand.
"Hey, soldier. We gotta go soon. We can't stay here forever." she says rather softly.
His eyes slowly blink open and he gives her a small smile.
"Thanks for leaving me sleep this time, instead of waking me at 5am." he lets out a quiet chuckle that's interrupted by a cough. He leans forward and Molly withdrawals her hand from his before standing.
"Imma leave Fiona to sleep longer since she didn't get to sleep till late."
He nods, slowly standing. "Sounds good."
