Hey where's everyone going?

Remus: We’re heading out to grab some supplies. Simple run.

Roman: Don’t jinx us.

As Roman and Remus took off in the car, Janus trudged over to Virgil with a scowl. He sat next to Virgil on the worn, cement bench, who took his palm and flattened out his fingers.

“This is stupid,” Janus mumbled.

Virgil pulled out a disinfectant wipe from the first aid kit Patton had given him before sitting down to make lunch.

“I don’t care. Stop complaining. You lost an eye but you could have died.”

Janus’ scowl deepened. He grit his teeth as his knuckles burned, fighting not to clench his fingers. Virgil laughed.

“If we’re not careful, we’ll break your hands. Maybe we should work with less dangerous for now.”

“How the fuck did I become someone who can’t handle a baseball bat,” he mumbled.

Virgil wrapped his knuckles in gauze and started on his other hand. “Give yourself a break. It was a… difficult time. At least we’re alive.”

Janus sighed. “You keep saying that, but how long will it last if I can’t protect us?”

Virgil looked over his shoulder. Patton squinted into the pot over their campfire, poking at the inside with a wooden spoon.

“You’re not the only one who can protect us,” he whispered, glaring at Janus. “You can just let me handle it a moment, okay?”

Janus shook his head, mumbling, “Whatever.”

Little reminder that if you buy me a coffee of venmo me (maxgraybooks) at least 3 bucks I’ll write a lil fic/drabble of your choosing and all of it will go into my savings

If there's an outdoors supply store, there could be things that might be helpful. Like weapons, water purifiers, canteens, MREs, stuff like that.

Remus: If we see any, we’ll note it down to circle back around to later. That’s a good idea.

[surviving-sides]

They get back and the entire car is filled with coloring books, nothing else, with barely any room for the people

// oh mood. pat would still be happy

[surviving-sides]

So who all is going?

Remus: Just Ro and I, unfortunately

[surviving-sides]

If you get coloring books, don't forget crayons or colored pencils!

Roman: Sure thing!

[surviving-sides]

Do you have a radio you listen to?

Remus: Yeah, it’s called ‘Roman’ and it’s annoying.

Roman: Well it doesn’t have an off switch so poor you,

[surviving-sides]

How do you hit your knuckles in baseball?

Riley: I can’t aim, asshole. They kept hitting my knuckles.

Virgil: Don’t be a dick, Ri.

[surviving-sides]

Since you're taking the car, if you have extra space, maybe you can find some books to read just for fun too. I bet hiding out gets boring at times. Might be nice to have something normal to do.

Patton: Ooh! Get some colouring books!

Roman: Yeah, yeah, sure :)

[surviving-sides]

Anyway, what's it for today Riley?

Riley: Baseball with Verge. You wouldn’t believe how much times I hit my knuckles.

Virgil: Get over here, loser, we need to make sure that doesn’t get infected.

[surviving-sides]

You guys should split up out there. Divide and conquer. Less likely to attract attention, maybe, that way. Plus you'll get to search more places.

Roman: Oh, that’s a really good-

Remus: *flatly* We’re not doing that.

[surviving-sides]

*ignores Remus* maybe you could find some books on medicine or edible plants at a bookstore

Roman: Yeah, that’s a good idea!

// you BITCH XD I’M supposed to be making the suspense, not you!

[surviving-sides]

*sticks tongue out*

Remus: 😜

[surviving-sides]

Noooo

Remus: Okaaaaay... ;)
