Gus climbed all the way onto the roof and ambled over, sitting a few feet away from Jasper with his long legs hanging over the edge. "If you're wonderin' about Jez, he said he'd be okay with lettin' you stay after all. He was easier to talk around than I thought he'd be. I bet it'll be a while 'fore he wants to be friendly with you again, but this seems like a good start anyhow. I don't think June 'n Darius will be trouble either. " He gave her a smile. "If one of 'em does start complainin', you jus' leave it to me, okay?"

she felt a pit in her stomach at her earlier thoughts, "r-really…? that easily…?" she looked at gus, hoping it to be true but somehow knowing it probably wasn't true. "June is nice…"

"Yeah, June's pretty cool. And I don't think Darius could hurt a fly, t' be honest." He patted her shoulder. "What happened to you ain't your fault, and I reckon we can all see that. We jus' need to learn more about what's goin' on and how t' control it, that's all."

"yeah.." she flinched slightly when he patted her shoulder and moved away after he was done. "mhm.."

Gus took his hand away. "Sorry. I ain't too good at givin' people space sometimes, but I'll try. Say, did you ever get somethin' to eat after all that? I saw you 'n Jez huntin' fer some food but I dunno if you actually managed t' eat anything."

June and Darius sat in the room waiting for Gus and Jasper to return from the roof.

she shook her head, too used to the hunger that she barely bothered to acknowledge it. "no…"

"Want me t' go grab somethin' for you? Tell you what, I could even bring up some more chocolate for desert, since you liked that. We could have a nice lunch." He was getting pretty hungry himself, now that he thought about it.

she nodded to him, "yes..please." she added at the end, as her stomach growled.

Gus nodded. "Okie dokie. I'll be right back." Climbing down, he entered the store, waving at Darius and June as he passed. "Hey y'all. Sorry 'bout all the confusion, guess that's just th' way we roll around here now." He started rummaging around for food, quickly finding a can of good old wholesome corn and beans, as well as a small jar of pickles and the package of beef jerky for himself. As he hunted, he spotted a stack of candy bars sitting where Jez's belongings had been. He smiled and grabbed a couple, then took everything back outside. "Jasper? I'll have t' chuck some stuff up to you so's I have enough hands to climb the ladder."

"Alright." she called down to Gus, making sure she was able to get the stuff when he chucked it.

(or get the other two people to help)

(That's true, sorry. Feel free to have them interact with Gus and Jasper more, Gus is just worried about Jasper rn so he's a little distracted and not thinking about the others as much ^^; )

June walked over to gus, "I can help, If you need another set of hands or two"

Jezariah made his way down the street, keeping to the sides and going in the direction of the convenience store so if Gus did see him, he wouldn't think anything of it.
Other than the fact that he was carrying both of his bags.
Jez hoped Gus wouldn't see him, but noticing they were on the roof, he quickly thought otherwise.
He soon reached the convenience store, looking through the shattered windows and doors.

Gus tossed the first package underhanded to Jasper before he noticed June approaching. "Oh hey, thanks! Yeah, I could use some help." He handed a couple items to her, speaking quietly so Jasper wouldn't hear. "Th' kid's still kinda upset. I'm tryin' to get some healthy food to 'er and help her relax, if you wanna keep us company. Darius too, 'long as you think he'll be safe up on th' roof."

"i need a leash for him" she muttered, "nah he will be fine, COME On Dare." she yelled to get his attention.

Darius walked over to them, "what?"

she caught the package handed to her and set it aside waiting to see if anymore would follow him up.

"We're goin' up to th' roof," Gus said cheerfully. "Want some lunch? There's plenty. We're havin' a picnic while we wait fer Jez to come back from a scavenging run."

Darius nodded, "am I hungry?" he shrugged.

June rolled her eyes, "lets just go, I want to see if there are any other roofs nearby, afterall I like being on roofs, and sleeping up there, its very relaxing"

Elodie shook her head indicating she hadnt found anything yet.

"Nope, just ash, and burnt shit" she said quietly, her eyes scanning the building again.

Jezariah leans behind the counters and shelves only to everything cleared out. And the things that were still.there had gone terribly bad. Like the milk for example.
He sighs, grabbing a small bottle of hot water from on the floor, the sun beaming down through the broken windows directly onto it.
Jez puts it in his bag and heads back out, looking towards the building, the beams and what remained of the walls now charred. Everything else black ash.
He started making his wayntowards it.

Jesse went into one of the back rooms behind the reception, as it was mostly still in tact.
"Over here." She waved over for Elodie to follow.
