Caelen yawned and checked the time, he had been up there for almost 2 hours so he decided to go down and see what the others were doing. He climbed down the window, shutting it, down the stairs and into the bedroom before stretching and walking into the kitchen. "Y'all hungry? We could cook but I'm not sure how the smells will make the Screamers react. But I got some canned stuff and cereal."
He shrugged, leaning against one of the counters. The house was more well kept than he thought. He was impressed, with the circumstances they were in.
“Does the house has electricity? I know the reapers didnt knock down all of the power lines around here.” He asked, actually curious.
He looked over to Val with an uneasy look, thinking about how he was going to ask her about the profiles and his sister. If he knew anything about it……
Turning back to Caelen, he spoke again “if so, cereal would do just fine though. If we have milk” he laughed
"I'm not sure. For some reason, this was one house the Screamers didn't bother destroying. Part of the backyard has signs of a massive struggle, but that's about the majority of damage I found when I took over this place." Caelen muttered, grabbing a few chipped bowls, plastic spoons, milk and cereal. "Bon appetite."

Nina followed Jess into the kitchen and accepted the offered eating utensils. "Thanks, Caelen. If you don't mind, I'd like to use the running water in the sink to clean off my surgical tools." She thought about why this place might be so well-stocked and powered, despite the devastation surrounding it. "Maybe somebody built this house on a different grid than the rest of the town?" She suggested. She didn't really know how this stuff worked, but her father had been the repair man for their small apartment complex and he talked about it sometimes. "It is kind of sitting on city limits. Maybe there's an intact generator and water tank around here somewhere if we look."
"There might be a backup generator around here that we might not know about." She commented, still thinking. It was in fact very impressive that the house was well maintained and in very good conditions in spite of the fact that they were in the middle of an apoloclyspe. Caelen also seemed to have a good food source from which she guessed was from raiding the stores. It was also a miracle how no Screamers had magically stubble onto this place, though she didn't want to jinx herself, luck could make or break. Her thoughts eventually wondered, would it be like this forever? Staying in one place, going on little raids, dealing with Screamers, was there any chance that this could all end?
Well there was probably nobody in the house at the time for the screamers to want.” Jess spoke up through a mouthful of cereal, loving every bit of it. It wasnt the best, but to him it was the best hes had in months.
“I don’t think they would destroy anything just to destroy it. They dont like to bother going around things if its in their way but i dont think they had a reason to destroy the house. From what ive simply studied from these things, thats what ive gathered. But i could be wrong” he says stuffing another spoonful of cereal in his mouth
(Caelen is spelled with an e)
Caelen hummed in response before polishing off his cereal bowl and putting it in the kitchen.
Nina listened for a minute to their theories. They seemed logical enough to her. "How long are we thinking of staying here?" she asked. "If we plan to turn this into our base, we should probably understand where it gets power and how to keep it safe. But if we're going to move on soon, I guess it might not matter that much."
(Hey Write, are there any like quarantine zones or is everything we know it gone?)
(So there’s a few successful quarantine zones like underground and in military bases n stuff. But if there is, our characters could find one somewhere in the roleplay on their mission to find the government or whatever!)
(Also guys! I was thinking that what if all of the government secrets and experiments and stuff were in Area 51? Idk i thought that seemed pretty cool)
(What if the government created the Screamers?)
(Well yeah thats kind of where i was going with this in the first place XD)
(Like the American government was running experiments to create hybrids, like mutant humans for wars and stuff. But it failed miserably lol)
(I think all that sounds cool! Let's go for it! ^^)
(Yeah, lets do this!)
(Nice okay!! I'll try to get my post up soon!!)
Jess finished his bowl of cereal rather quickly, setting in the sink before actually washing it and drying it off.
"Well i dont think it's a good idea to stay here forever. That's for sure. And if we want to get to wherever the government is running these experiments….well we should keep moving. We could stay here for a few days but that's it if we wanna be smart" he shrugged
She returned back to the thoughts she had. The military wasn't stupid enough to just be completely destroyed by the Screamers, surely they must've had a plan for if this broke out. "I know that this might not be plausible, but what if our government has uh, quarentine spots. I mean when they were making these "things" surely they must have a plan in placve in case something like this happened." Valerie could be totally wrong, but she had to have some hope at least, at least something out of this could make some sort of sense. "I don't have one, but what if they are trying to communicate through radio, electricity and the internet is down, but those radios are battery-charged and just depend on satellite signals."
Jess considered the idea and thought it was actually pretty bright to think of. He was sure he himself had that thought cross his mind once or twice, but he never dwelled on it. Not with everything else going on. Always on high alert in case something happened. Simply trying to survive and not get eaten.
“Thats…well yeah thats possible. Do we have any radios? And any batteries? Maybe we could pick something up and find one? I mean, if there are any that is. We could be wrong but i dont think it’d hurt to try would it?”
"I agree," Nina piped up, copying Jess and washing her own dishes out of habit. "I think we should stay here long enough to find all the useful supplies in this town, then pick a destination and start walking. I have to find my parents somehow too, and I think that'll be easier if we're on the move rather than sitting still."
Jess nodded, turning back around and leaning against the counter, accidentally hitting his head on the cabinet. “Ah” he says, cursing under his breath.
“Well….” he blinked hard before returning back to the subject “do we have any maps? We probably shouldn’t just wander aimlessly, thinking theres a destination and then we come to it and find out theres not” he chuckled, still rubbing the back of his head.
"I don't have a map, sorry," Nina said, wincing sympathetically when Jess hit his head. "But I know some places around town we might find one. The stores and gas stations have been mostly raided, but the library and city hall are still untouched. They might have some pretty good maps if we can just get there safely and find them."
(Sorry, for leaving this way, feel free to do whatever with my character!)
(Oof…..)
(Okay i think i may open this back up for like two other people to join since two people have left now….. is that alright with everyone?)
(I'm okay with that, I'm still pretty into this rp if y'all are)
