“If I manage to get a rabbit, I’ll be satisfied. If deers are rare, we might have to extend our hunting grounds, which could be problematic.” Lindsay took her riffled too, feeling it’s weight on her shoulder. “I hope so. Thanks for doing this Geni.”

[g-danvers]

“It’s the least I can do to help around every now and then,” Genevieve spoke, her brow slightly raised as they reached the wall. Looking around, the woman snuck through the gate, holding it open for Lindsay. “We gotta make it quick though.”

“And if I promise to behave?”

[g-danvers]

The woman had to suppress a small smile showing through as she forcefully rolled her eyes at the man. “Then I promise to not introduce my fist to your face.”

“Thank you, I appreciate it. If you ever want to switch shifts just hit me up.” That was as much as she expected of Genevieve. A yes or a no but not much conversation beyond that. However, it was worth a shot. “Hey, if you want to we could do a run to the spring and get some water?”

[g-danvers]

Just as the woman was about to make her way toward not around people, Gen stopped as Elena continued speaking. Looking toward her, Geni wondered if news was going around that she didn’t want to be associated with anyone - forcing everyone to want to spend time with her. Suppressing a sigh, Genevieve shrugged. “Sure, I’m sure we could use some more.”

Tara watched as the girl silently approached her, holding down the flaps without any word. Having been with Leon’s group for the last three years, Tara forgot how weird it felt being with people she didn’t know. She didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what would go over well and what wouldn’t. She particularly hated not knowing the safety of both herself and her group. There were now so many people intertwined with one another that there was no doubt that there would be conflicting personalities. Tara would be lying if she said it didn’t worry her a bit.

She pulled hard, feeling it extend towards the hook and secured it into place. With an extra tug to ensure it’s place, she dropped her hands to her sides, nodding towards the girl in front of her. “Thanks. I’m Tara.”

[g-danvers]

Genevieve watched as the woman worked away at fixing the rig. She was impressed that the girl actually helped to keep something from breaking as so many others would’ve looked the other way. Many seemed to have grown comfortable in the community - thinking others would take care of any issues that rise. It was a habit Geni was beginning to grow tired of.

“Genevieve,” she replied, mimicking Tara’s action. “Good eye,” she complimented, pointing toward the water canister. “Would’ve been bad if that went out.”

“So, where is our destination today? Boston? Or past the springs?” She asked. “Not many people have been past the springs. We could be a first.” She continued, walking out the door and looking both ways to make sure no one was watching them. “Coast is clear.”

[g-danvers]

Quickly glancing at the woman, Genevieve was impressed. With a small smile, Gen made her way out the door, quickly and quietly. “I like the way you think,” she spoke softly, her eyes scanning around them. “We can make our way over there; if anyone does ask we’re going to the spring.”

Joselyn stepped forward and grabbed a corner of the box, shifting her grip a bit until the weight evenly distributed between them. “I have to be back quickly. My kid’s eating with the group, but I don’t want to leave him for long.”

[g-danvers]

"Then let’s keep the small talk to a minimum and get our asses over there,” Genevieve spoke, her legs beginning to move. “You have a son?”

[melinda-jones-blog]

“I’ve got mine.” Lindsay still felt awkward with that gun, she was more used to something smaller. But she had to admit that it offered things her own handgun could never. “Hopefully will be able to catch something.”

[g-danvers]

“Just dont get your hopes up for a deer; those have been very rare lately. If anything, we can go after birds, rabbits or squirrels.” Grabbing her own rifle, Genevieve swung it over her back - the strap over her shoulder. “You’ll do fine; I promise.”

[scarxbenson]

“No, you’re…you’re right, I’m sorry. I’m still trying to figure out which places are homes and which are…well, not. When you spend so much time out there whole ‘private property’ thing becomes kind of irrelevant.”

[g-danvers]

Genevieve fully understood where the woman was coming from. She had clearly remembered her time outside the walls - scavenging, roaming and defending herself by herself. It was a tough life and now being within the community - rules were implied. “It’s fine; just give me a heads up next time.”

“They asked if anyone wanted to go hunting and I was wondering if maybe you’d come with me. I could use some practice with the rifle.”

[g-danvers]

Raising a brow at the woman, Genevieve quickly nodded. “Oh yeah - definitely,” she spoke while grabbing her bag. “You have your own, or you need to borrow one of mine?”

[beyondrxpair-blog]

Jacob spun on his heels and turned away from the woman as she dressed herself, his eyes widened at the accidental invasion of privacy. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there. I was looking for the showers. Don’t quite know my way around here yet, evidently.”

[g-danvers]

Finishing with her buttons, Genevieve pulled her hair from the back and let her brunette curls fall. “Alright I’m decent,” she spoke, grabbing her bags and throwing it over her shoulder. “If you’re looking for the showers, they’re three doors down.”

[melinda-jones-blog]

“Oh sorry! I’ll wait outside.”

[g-danvers]

“I’m already almost done - just stay,” Gen voiced as she fiddled with the buttons on her shirt. “What did you need?”

[dawn--sparks]

“I could but I thought we were exploring. Why not start with our bodies, right?” Dawn joked, laughing to herself. “But seriously. Hurry up. Leon Hood’s band of idiots are starting to get on my nerves.”

[g-danvers]

Playfully rolling her eyes, Genevieve finished buttoning her shirt as she let out a small chuckle. “I’m going woman, let me grab my gun and pocket knife.” Once her shirt was situated, Gen grabbed her gun - putting it in her holster and began making her way toward the door. “Let’s light a fire under those asses.”

[scarxbenson]

“Damn, how will I go through life not knowing?” her voice mimicked the tone of sarcasm. “Oh please, there’s plenty of dead girls outside who’d kill you for that opportunity. Not…that they wouldn’t want to kill you either way…” Kat sighed, her eyes moving towards the chair in front. “Do I look like I want something?”

[g-danvers]

“Well barging into my home while I’m half naked; yeah that kind of gives me a reason as you thinking why you’d want something.”

[joselyn-p-deactivated20160223]

Joselyn was unperturbed by the attitude and didn’t feel the need to bite back; she would have been annoyed by the situation if their roles were reversed. “You sure you don’t need a hand?” She asked, stepping out of the woman’s way.

[g-danvers]

The woman’s offer took Genevieve by surprise. She was used to the others in the community turning their shoulders at her. “Uh - sure, if you wouldn’t mind. His place isn’t far from here.” From the corner of her eyes, Genevieve nodded over to where his house resided just a few blocks down.

[scarxbenson]

“There there, we’ve all seen boobs before.”

[g-danvers]

“Not mine; and I’d like to keep it that way,” Gen spoke as she finished the last button on her dirtied shirt. “Don’t need them plastered on the front page of People magazine or anything.” Her voice dripped in sarcasm, Genevieve picked up her handgun, placing it in the back of her jeans. “What do you want?”

[elenaprice]

“I sure could’ve. Sorry about that. I just wanted to ask if you’re going on the supply run today? I’m on the wall again and I want to look for something. Could we maybe switch?”

[g-danvers]

Giving Elena a look, Genevieve offered a shrug. “Why not; it’s not like I have a Roaring 20′s themed prom to go to or anything.” The lack of excitement around the community was making Genevieve soft; compliant with others and completely bored out of her mind. If she wasn’t thrown into a fictional world, Gen was out exploring the world outside of the makeshift walls.
