"We're all family now, we gotta look after each other." Levi nodded. He stood up to look out of the window behind them, overlooking the bleak landscape. "I wonder how many other survivors there are out there." He tapped his fingernail on the window frame. "I'm totally not stalling and trying to make conversation to avoid talking to Tohru."
"Yeah, probably… probably not a whole lot, but they're there," Lis sighed.
She shifted her gaze a bit.
"Understandable. Gay panic's a bitch. That said, he definitely likes you. I don't know about romantically, he's kind of hard to pin down. But he definitely enjoys talking to you."
(also Tohru's just vibing somewhere, idk. Anyone is welcome to interact.)
(I shall make Aspen interact)
Aspen woke up with a jerk of her head, moving Bean slightly so she could get up, she stood, clasping her hands together and raising them above her head, a faint crack came from her spine and she sighed quietly.
She rubbed her eye's with her fist and walked over to Tohru, she waved to him shyly and said a quiet "hey." as she sat next to him.
(I cant remember where he is so I just guessed tbh)
Bean was still sleeping, curling in on herself. She was muttering in her sleep about who knows what. Luka was still with Kas, holding him close as he fought the urge to fall asleep. Lilac was probably with Mori, exhausted and drained from everything that happened.
(I didn't know where he was either tbf-)
Tohru turned his head at Aspen's words.
"Hey. You holding up alright? The past day or so… man, it's been rough."
He rubbed his face a bit.
"I just want to go home. Not that there's anywhere to go that we can really call 'home' right now."
(Uhhhh not really sure what to do with mine lol)
Mori got up from where he was and headed towards where he heard voices so that he could at least be somewhere with people. He was tired and he still felt awful, but he was sure that everyone else did too. It was an apocalypse, after all, and he couldn't just sit around and mope. Kas was still asleep.
Aspen nodded silently, her eye's supporting dark purple circles underneath them.
"Yeah, im okay; as okay as I'll ever be I guess. What about you?" she asked him, her long,dark hair slipping down her shoulders in waves, cascading down her back.
Tohru shrugged.
"I'm not sure. I'm worn out. But I guess I have to be okay, huh?"
He couldn't even offer a smile.
His dark circles were pretty much permanent, his mouth drawn into a slight frown, his brow furrowed.
"I'm tired of it all. So tired."
"me too. Me fucking too." Aspen agreed.
She sighed into the air, and rubbed her eyes.
"You don't have to be okay to be honest, even if we are in the middle of the apocalypse, it doesn't mean you can't be stressed and hurting, just as much as before." She added.
"Gay panic. Yes. Mhm." Levi said, turning to stare blankly at Lis. "Is this what having a crush feels like? I've never felt it before." He said quietly.
"Should I go talk to him? Or keep talking to you? Do I never speak to him again?" He stuttered, completely flustered.
Tohru shrugged. "Yeah, I'm- I don't know… I'm pushing forwards. There's nothing else to do."
He frowned a bit.
"I do hurt physically, though. I've collected a lot of little injuries over the past few days, and they add up."
"That's up to you," Lis replied, with a laugh, "But you almost certainly have a little crush there. You should talk to him more, but whether or not you want to do that right this minute is your call."
Aspen nodded slowly.
"I get it, my thigh still hurts from the gash, I hope it doesn't become infected I cut it on a rusty car." She said with a look of disgust and distaste.
Lilac pulled her hood up and groaned softly as she hid her face. She was too tired to deal with everything and it showed. She curled in on herself as she tried to get some rest.
Bean continued sleeping, whimpering as she twisted and turned. “N-No…” she mumbled as she continued shifting.
Luka eventually fell asleep next to Kas, still holding Hailey’s headband close to him. He slept as peacefully as he could, nightmares threatening what little peace he had left.
(I might throw in this new baby when we start back up sfgjk)
(Awwwwwwww new babyyyyy-)
(His name is Peregrine :>)
(Aww 🥺 But like on the other hand, we have a bunch of BABIES in this rp :((( They deserve better)
(That's true lol, but I guess it makes sense that there would be more young people if their parents died/became zombies trying to keep them safe adhjkl)
(It's true ;-; very sad though. I specifically did focus on young adults in the thing I'm writing. So no younger family members, and no kids in the cast so far.)
(Yeah sdfhj)
(We gotta get this started back up aaaa)
