June took the food with a thanks and practically forced Darius to eat the soup. “You can’t starve yourself hun” she shook her head.

Darius ate the soup slowly, forgetting what he was doing at one point.

Jasper slowly inches closer to June, staring at her from all her different hidding places, she seems to be intensely staring at June and then moving and reappearing in sight of June and staring her down. "What are you up to? What's your purpose for being her? What's your plan? Hm?"

Gus hung around while June and Darius ate, poking at the shelves of items in search of something interesting. He found a hunting and fishing magazine and brightened, leaning against the checkout counter to flip through it. He knew most of the tips and tactics already, and of course the catalogue section was useless to him, but it was something fun to look at.

June looked at Jasper and smiled, “my only purpose was to find Dare, now just to survive, if you and the guys want us to leave then we will, I have had a hard enough time no reason to make human enemies” she said plainly, a hint of sadness in her voice that she hid behind her smile.

She stared her down intensely, staring into Junes eyes as she spoke as much as she could, trying to find something that she really just couldn't find as much as she tried too.
She bit her lip looking away from them, and down, at her hands.
"I..i guess your not so bad ..just, don't hurt anyone or i will come at you. Alright?" She looked back at them, staring at them with a softer look.

June lowered her voice, “I only hurt someone one time, and I had no choice, I would never hurt the people who have treated me with such respect” she said sadly.

Darius set the Can down and went to go find …something only to end up walking into a wall and falling down.

Gus caught the tail end of their conversation and watched out of the corner of his eye, not wanting to interfere as long as they were being friendly. He'd guessed that June and Darius didn't mean any harm, but it warmed his heart to see Jasper acting protective even if she didn't fully trust them yet. Hopefully, no hard feelings would linger after today.
Seeing Darius collide with the wall yet again, he sighed and walked over. "Hey, you okay pal? That wall really jumped you there." He offered his hand to help Darius up. "Hope this ain't rude, but is there somethin' wrong with your peepers?"

“My what?” Darius asked confused, letting Gus help him up. It took him a minute before he realized what Gus was saying, “ooh my eyes? No I just like blank out sometimes…so I don’t know what I am doing or where I am” he said, acting almost completely different than he was a few minutes ago.

Jasper heard her when she lowered her voice, just simply offering a nod, she lowered her voice. "i.. understand." Was all she said before she put her voice at normal volume. "don't worry, no one wants you to leave here, just as long as you don't do anything harmful, which somehow i know you won't do."

(I give up on trying to fix it :,)

Jezariah sat on the roof, his legs hanging off of the edge.
His eyes wandered towards the building, the fire had gotten much smaller.
Smaller screamers circled it, crawling out of windows and up the beams.
Jez was lucky most screamed didn't have a good sense of smell. With now 5 people over in a single building. They would be screwed.
Jez swallows hard, looking down at the sling.
we might want to keep moving. We can't stay here forever…
He looks out to the road as an opossum scurried along the road and towards the building. Only to get yanked out of the street by a monster in the distance, his mouth unhinging, and to swallow it. Another screamer though the size of a cat came up beside it, grabbing the now-dead animal's head and tearing it from its body and running off to eat it, running behind a broken car to do so. Though about three more followed it and all you could hear was screeching, the screamers fighting over the fresh kill.

Gus listened curiously as Darius explained. "Huh….that's real strange. No wonder you have trouble gettin' around. Well, maybe now that you're with some friends, we can help you with that." He still wasn't sure if Jez would allow them to become a long-term group, but they were definitely at least together for a day or two. "Have you had a bad memory your whole life, then? Or….did somethin' happen?"

June smiled softly, not sure how much this girl understood, doubting that she could really understand, but letting it go. After all she was the only person that knew about it, As she removed all traces of it from Darius memory, which she will admit was cruel, but it was that or having to explain to Dare what had happened over and over and over again.

Darius shrugged, “All my life, thought sometimes it is not as bad, like now…I can keep up a conversation without my mind committing a factory reset” he smiled, for the first time in a while.

She internally sighed, moving to make her way after Jez, "I'm going after the other guy…" Was all she said, she forgot Jez name if he even introduced herself and noticed him on the roof and made her way over to him and sat down next to him, she knew to be silent so she made herself as quiet as possibly making her way over to him and sitting down holding her knees.

Gus grinned. "That's crazy. You learn somethin' every day, Ma used to tell me. I can see why you keep that notebook, that's pretty clever." He could barely imagine living in constant confusion, always forgetting things, but to him it seemed like Darius was handling his situation very well, considering. "Say, you like huntin' or fishin'? I found this magazine here that's got some pretty cool pictures in it."

Darius shook his head, “no I don’t like dead things” he pulled a couple of small notebooks out of his pocket, “they each have something different, things I need to know, but some have missing pages…” he shook his head, trying to focus.

Jund sat down and started sharpening her sword. She had the tool for it, she kept it in the bottom of her quiver of arrows.

"Oh. Well I guess that's fair." Gus put the magazine away and watched Darius think curiously. then he noticed June sitting nearby and his eyes widened. "Hey—you have a sword? Where in th' heck did you get that?"

June grinned "Family heirloom," she said showing of the greek style blade made of black metal. "it is a xiphos or greek short sword, my…well lets just say it came from my father, and I ended up getting it after tragic events" She said sadly, not sure if she wanted to go into her past without them asking, of course it is not like she minded.

Darius picked up a fork and practiced stabbing the air. (because yes)
