He nods to Jez, and moves to pick his cat up and place them inside his bag but leave the zipper halfway open. "Yeah."

Jez exits the building, the metal door covered in ash and now bent all over the place, creeking open and hanging from one of its hinges.
He steps outside into the pale light of the day, though realizing it was quickly getting dark. It made him feel rather uneasy, wanting to get Evan to safety as soon as possible.
But he didn't know whether or not he'd trust him alone with Gus, Jasper and Darius.
He found himself worried for Jasper but quickly pushed that thought away, reminding himself of what she was. He was still protective and worried for Gus but he didn't need to push that away. He'd quite liked the feeling.
Still, his chest ached at the thought of leaving them. There was nothing he could do now. He had already decided to leave.
They wouldnt know he intended to leave them. So he could come back like nothing happened.
But he'd know.
And he couldn't live with that. Jezariah couldn't look Gus in the eyes and not feel horrible about it. After he'd been so good to Jez. The betrayal after Jez had trusted him so much.
Yet he decided this was best for them. All of them.
He made his way down the street and in the opposite way of the convenience store, keeping to the sidewalk so they wouldn't stand out.
He turns to Evan "so, where'd you come from?" He asks, hoping to get to know him better before sending him Gus's way.

June shook her head, “I never got a chance to mourn my brother” she whipped the tears from her face, “but now that I have you guys…I just let go”

Elodie smiled and sighed.

"Well I guess all is forgiven, but on one condition" she says with a grin "you have to stop acting like you hate me sometimes." She said with a grin that could've been seen from miles away.

She stood up, steadying herself on the wall and hobbled to the kitchen where Jesse was, she looked at her with a devilish grin.

"So uhm– how exactly and i supposed to get dressed? if I can barely stand–?" she asked with a mock innocent tone.

Jesse scoffs "I don't act like that" she says rolling her eyes, knowing she probably did.
Though she acted like she hated everyone.
But with Elodie being the only person around her, Jesse was afraid hating her was out of the question.
Jesse looks down to Elodie as she stood in front of her, blinking a few times.
plenty of people get dressed without being able to stand.
She opened her mouth to say that but stopped herself, thinking that would make Elodie thing she hated her. Or she was at least acting like it.
She swallows "I can…help" she says with a shrug, looking away.
Jesse said this only because she was sure Elodie would feel a little better by the end of the day.
Though what she didn't take into account was the fact that not everyone had the pain tolerance Jesse had.

Elodie smiled and laughed

"you don't have to actually dress me Jesse" she said with a giggle, and smiled.

She hobbled over to the cabinet and grabbed the cereal, taking a handful of dry frosted flakes and shoving them in her mouth.

Darius nodded, “right hammer,” he went back to looking, not paying attention to what else Gus had said. His brain can only work for so long.
(Randooom question, after I kill of June, would I be able to add another character or no?)

(I should think that you'd be able to? That's Write's call though not mine ^^)
Gus perused the shelves with an experienced eye and soon found the building section, such as it was. the packs of nails only held a few dozen each, so he grabbed as many as he could and went in search of wood. He didn't find much, just some mop handles and cutout lawn decorations, as well as some likely-looking particle board on the lowest parts of the shelves. Carrying as much as he could back to the front doors, he started stacking it up and measuring the glass panes with his hands.
"Better find two hammers," he called to Darius. "Unless y'wanna start cutting curtains instead. We need 'em t' hide th' light of our flashlights from the outside."

Darius found a hammer in the tool section and went into the back room looking around for a bit before he found a toolbox, He decided to bring the whole thing just in case and brought it to Gus, "here"

Gus glanced over and brightened when he saw what Darius carried. "Hey! That's a good find. Set that down between us, aright? Now what we gotta do is put at least a little wood across all the doors 'n windows on this side, so nothin' can see in and hopefully nothin' can get in neither. We'll add big ol' curtains wherever the wood won't cover. An' like I said, I'm gonna bust out one o' these glass panes near th' floor and put an escape hole there jus' in case. Now you can either start by huntin' up some fabric, or you can help me put up some o' these bigger boards 'cross the main doors."

"Uh I will go ahead and get the fabric so we dont have to keep going back and forth alright?" Darius said before going to where he thought he had saw some fabrics in the store, coming back a minute later with a few large peices of fabric.

June shook her head, “I never got a chance to mourn my brother” she whipped the tears from her face, “but now that I have you guys…I just let go”

"Oh…I'm sorry you lost your brother …I don't, I don't know where my brother is…I don't know if he's alive or dead…..I haven't seen him in years…" She held her knees. "if you need anything tho..I can do my best to help.*

"where did I come from? Well, I would say probably a few weeks down the street, me and my foster folks were camping in our house and it was my turn to go out to get food and when I got back…all I found was um…corpses.." he looked away, not wanting to think about it in the slightest.

( @Write_where_i_dont_wanna_be After I kill of june, can I add another or no?)

Sorry I haven't replied tonight guys.
And uhm I mean I don't mind. As long as you don't make them like a character you already have.
That goes for everyone btw.
If yall want to add in another character (unless if you already have 2 atm) go ahead! I don't mind. It would be a little different if this rp group was bigger but since it's not I'm chill with it.

Jesse rolls her eyes, watching her shove her mouth full with food.
She sighs "I vont unless you vant me to" she says calmly, not realizing how flirtatious that could have come across to Elodie.

Jez's gaze dropped and his expression softened into empathy.
"Sorry you had to go through that" he says, being awkward with the whole feelings thing.
He was sure it was just because he was bad at it in general. Though if Gus or Jasper had said something, Jez would react a lot better. Maybe even Darius as well.
He takes a breath "so you're on your own now?" He asks, not wanting to. But he also needed to know more about him.

"Oh…I'm sorry you lost your brother …I don't, I don't know where my brother is…I don't know if he's alive or dead…..I haven't seen him in years…" She held her knees. "if you need anything tho..I can do my best to help.*

June shook her head, “I think it would be worse not knowing, hm? I mean, at least I was there…so I know..but you, you have no idea and even thinking about that would scare me”

Elodie turned to her and gave her, her trademark smile, the one that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"And have you see me in my underwear? or possibly naked? no offense but no thanks." she says with a small laugh, her eyes gloomy and dark.

"I think I ought to rest some, I'll see you later." She said putting the cereal back into the cabinet and hobbling into her room, where she closed the door behind her. She sat on her bed, tugging her jeans off and laid down, pulling the blanket over herself, she didn't have the energy or strength to put another pair of pants on.

Jesse opens her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out as she watches Elodie hobble into her room.
She shrugs, turning around and heading towards the door leading out of the apartment and into the hallway. Where she found herself at the bottom floor soon enough and out of the building.
A small breeze blew through her hair and her clothes, sending chils up her spine. Which even though she was alone, she didn't show.
She could no longer feel the heat of the sun on her skin as she could a few hours ago.
Summer had ended a few weeks ago and fall had started. The days were shorter and the nights were longer.
Jesse couldn't decide whether or not she liked that. The heat was almost unbearable and the days lasted far too long she felt like giving up.
But as winter came closer, she hated to think about the reapers near winter.
They were hungier, scarier, more vicious, and the bigger ones came out when everything else was weaker.
They were smart. Smart enough to know their prey were weaker in the cold.
She shivers at the thought but decides to enjoy the small bit of sun for now.. However much longer it may last.

(please dont kill Jesse rn, bc it sounds like you are and I will cry >u< )

Elodie made herself comfortable, and pulled the photo album of her family she kept, out from under her mattress.

She slowly flipped through it, trying to observe every singular detail in each picture, before moving to the next.

(Lol dw I'm not about to kill off a character this soon. She hasn't even met anyone else. I'm lowkey looking forward to all of the other characters hating her ngl)
(Anyway, she has too much willpower to die now XD)

Jesse made her way down the streets, past the number of buildings before she got to the ashen hotel.
Her hazel eyes look the place over before getting out her gun, cocking it and stepping inside.
No movement could be heard from inside.
Though now pitch black, her body was more tense than ever.
She got a lighter from her pocket and picked up what looked to be some sort of wooden plank from the floor.
She lights it on fire, letting the flame travel down the ashy wood until slipping her lighter into her back pocket.
Jesse finds herself where she had knocked out Jezariah.
Looking down to the pool of dried blood on the floor where Elodie had laid, she cursed herself.
It was obvious Jezariah had left. But how far away could he be? There was no blood of his around to tell how long its been since he woke up.
She sighs, looking around. The only reason she hadn't intended to kill him was because she had already told Elodie she wouldn't. Unless Jez posed as a threat.
But what was now running through her mind was…
"how can i use him for our benefit if I can't kill him"

Jesse rolls her eyes, watching her shove her mouth full with food.
She sighs "I vont unless you vant me to" she says calmly, not realizing how flirtatious that could have come across to Elodie.

He sighed rubbing his face, he looked up at the muffled sound of his voice and looked over at Jez, "Um..sorry, could you repeat that?"

Jez blinks, not expecting that. "Oh. Uh" he clears his throat "are you on your own now?" He asks, his voice clearer for Evan now.

Jesse steps back out of the building, the stillness of the air around her unnerving.
She looks around to see two figures in the distance.
thats them She thought before slipping behind a building and heading towards them out of sight.
