"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.
"Works fine by me son," Gus replied through a mouthful of nails, already busy setting up the mop handles in an X across the doors. "Let's try to get this done quick, so's we don't hafta make a big ruckus after dark. Cut th' curtains nice 'n thick so they block the light good 'n proper."
Darius nodded and did just that. Cutting the curtains like Gus had suggested using his knife because he didn’t know what else to use. “Here”
Darius nodded and did just that.
Im really sorry to ask this, but if you could give Dusty a bit more to work with in your posts that'd be amazing. I said in the beginning I didn't want any short posts. 3 sentences at the least.
Thank you ♡
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.
He squinted slightly before nodding with a soft smile. "Yeah…it's just me and Tuna, it has been for a good bit." Tuna meowed from inside the backpack.
Darius nodded and did just that.

yeah sorry, I was half asleep and my brain kinda died but I will fix it.
Jez eyes the backpack at the sound of the cat before nodding slowly, still finding the cat odd. In a place like this, most people would have left it behind, lost it or even eaten it to be honest.
It's been 3 years. Food was like gold along with clean water. If you find an animal, you eat it.
Soon they reached a small grocery store off the main road. Jez points over to it "hey you think there's anything left in therr?" He asks, already heading towards it.

(I'll wait to post Jesse's part again)
Darius nodded and did just that.

That's alright! I understand that lol^^♡
(Jez stop thinking about eating the cat Evan will kill you-)
He smiled at the sound of his cat mewing, Tuna really was the only thing he had left to remind him of his foster parents, the ones that actually wanted him.
After they walked for a bit he turned to see what Jez was talking about.
"could be, it's worth a check." He follows after Jez.
"Thankee," Gus said, accepting the curtains and trying to figure out were the best place to put them would be. Somewhere higher up, he supposed, so humans and smaller screamers would have a harder time reaching them from the outside. This seemed particularly important since these areas would be more vulnerable. "You remember how t' use a hammer 'n nails, Darius? I could use your help tackin' up these here boards around the doors 'n windows, but I don't wanna have t' pry iron out of your fingers if you can't do it safe."
Darius nodded, "its easy enough, isnt it?" he asked while grabbing the second hammer. he had no guarantee that he would not smash his fingers, but it couldn't hurt to try, right. he swung the hammer around, losing his grip and dropping it, almost hitting his foot.
"Yeesh, easy there brother." Gus set down the curtains and came over, picking up the hammer and returning it to Darius. "Y'gotta be real aware of what you're doin', see? Hold your tool firm and pay attention t' where it is." Part of him wanted to say Darius shouldn't handle the hammer and nails at all, but if he never tried to learn, he would probably keep getting hurt over and over. Gus patiently showed Darius how to hold the nail so his fingers were safe and how to tap it into place. "Swing with your elbow, not your wrist. But don't hit harder than y'need to, okay? Don't just swing willy-nilly, really focus on it. Now try again."
Darius took the hammer and adjusted his grip, holding the nail as Gus suggested. He subconsciously stuck his tongue out as he swung the hammer, hitting the nail. He smiled at Gus, "I didn't hurt myself!". Then he dropped the hammer forgetting he was holding it, this time it hit his foot. "Ow! never mind".
"Hey, you did better this time at least." Gus screwed up his face as he considered the problem. "Hold on a sec." Grabbing some duct tape from his supplies, he put the hammer back in Darius's hand and wrapped it in place securely. "Maybe this'll help until you're better at not gettin' distracted. You willin' t' keep tryin' a bit longer? I could really use your help here, which is why I ain't gonna give up on you jus' yet. I can't get this done in one evening all by my lonesome."
(lmao duct tapped it to his hand XD)
Darius nodded and swung the hammer, "hey, I didn't drop it" he said genuinely surprised. He went back to hammering the nails, careful not to hit his fingers. "this isnt so hard"
(Gus is a problem solving expert loolllll)
"You're doin' great," Gus said cheerily, patting Darius's shoulder. "Now just turn around and ask me if you got more questions. I'll be over here makin' the escape door down by th' corner."
"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”
She looked down at her hands after June shook her head before she looked up and shook her head back. "I-im s-supposed to be h-helping you…not the o-other way around.." she huffed slightly. "i-im also supposed to be keeping w-watch.."
Darius nodded and went to hammering, subconsciously humming a random rock song. He ended up hitting his finger, making it red, but he didn't notice. Once he finished all of the nails he turned to gus, his non duct taped hand red from getting hit so much, "that good?"
June put her hand on Jasper's shoulder standing up, "lets go keep watch then Jas" She smiled softly. She couldn't help herself from putting others first, from helping them feel better, it was just who she was.
she flinched slightly at the shoulder touch, not because June made her uncomfortable just with her history and the new remembrance of all that happened…she found herself looking down and remembering her last interaction with Jez… she sniffled slightly. "Alright.." she made her way in front of June to a good spot to watch out.
June stood beside her, not wanting to stand behind Jasper, after all she had a tendency to fade into her surroundings. "Do you mind if I call you Jas? I like giving people nicknames" She smiled sweetly pulling out a small knife she had hidden in her boots, she was the only one who knew it was there. She started tossing it up and down, not cutting herself once.
i mean, they both do. she shook her head,"no, i-i dont mind." she offered a small smile to june, before going back to keeping watch.
"good, it suits you, tho I cant think of a nickname for gus…maybe G man…Hm" she smiled to herself, "I will figure it out, country boy can't go without a nickname after all." She smiled at Jasper.
"it suits me..?" she tilts her head, "what do you mean? also, why not call him country b-boy?.."
"Oh, Jas is like a cuter name..no offense I mean, but you are quiet and short with your words so a shorter softer to pronounce name suites you, saying Jasper is more harsh, after all 'per' is a harsh sound." She smiled, "dont worry about it, and I guess I can call him cb, I will try it, see how he reacts"
she just fiidgeted with her sleeves pulling on loose threads as she listened and nodded.
alright..thanks I guess…" she tried to over another smile. the other option was out of the question now that June was with her and she didn't know how to feel about that. she had almost hoped to slip away quietly, but now she wasn't sure she wanted to leave, but if she wanted Jez to come back she might have too. she bit her lip, "do you think jez will come back..?"
