(April 20th)

So....that was a bust. Some people are coming back after going home while others are waking from their dreams. Night is falling, so you better catch up with the vagabonds that stayed behind and get all who's come back together once again. There's plenty of shelter around, so just pick a building. Have a reunion.

[Mission:Regroup and camp up]

[mercyless]

[ yeah i have nothing against that. ]

[ turns to continue. goodbye ruins. ]

[nosleeves]

[team paranoia has not joined your party]

[crotchbite]

[ they'll catch up once they set camp or something

might be an accident where they paranoia shoot an uninvited old teammate yep ]

[mercyless]

[ we had one job. ]

[theanimalside]

Ain't me.

[good thing it's getting dark. he's up a tree. not in line-of-sight from the people with the crossbows and the itchy trigger fingers.]

[mercyless]

[ p uoh ]

[ draws the sword and turns. definitely not a voice she knows. ]

[crotchbite]

[ holds the crossbow up like she's in a photoshoot. truly a pinup. ]

Who's there?

[theanimalside]

Like I said, wasn't me lit the castle up like Christmas. Nobody's been here but me, you and your friends. Probably them.

[holding very, very still. willing himself to be one with the tree, because are you kidding me crossbows, but they seem like the types to know how t use them.]

[mercyless]

[ trying to locate the source. this is not the group you want to sneak on. well whoever it is has been stalking them long enough to know there were more of them a while ago. ]

[crotchbite]

[ paranoia group weewoo weewoo ]

Our... friends? [ what the fuck is that supposed to mean. turns to michonne. they went away right, we all saw them?

did new people arrive. ]

[theanimalside]

[oh man the woman with the sword is looking right at him. at least she can't shoot him from there with it. anyway it should be dark enough to... slips his goggles to his head and crouches so they can get a better look at each other.]

Friends, allies, temporary companions of convenience. Whatever you wanna call them.

[smiles at michonne. hi michonne.]

[mercyless]

[ doesn't smile back. it's the guy from the store. what do you want? ]

They left.

[crotchbite]

[ glances from the goggles guy to michonne. does she know this dude or something

places a hand to her hip and cocks it slightly, tilting her head to him ]

A while back, too. What do you want?

[theanimalside]

Guess they didn't go as far as you thought they did. Or maybe they came back. 'Cause nobody else has been in that city for years.

[looks at hel. cocks his head to one side.]

Maybe I just don't like watching people work with bad information.

[mercyless]

Maybe you should stop watching people altogether.

Some don't like that.

[ is this a trap. i think it's a trap. ]

[crotchbite]

[ doesn't trust him, but she looks at the castle again with a wary expression. it... did sound a little too easy but what if it really didn't work ]

Just what makes you think we're working? [ eyes still on the castle before turning back to him ]

[theanimalside]

And how else am I supposed to make new friends?

[this is just. the most sarcastic. moves over a few branches and drops to the ground, well outside the personal space bubbles of the reasonably paranoid crowd.]

I'm beginning to question that assumption myself.

[skittish.]

[mercyless]

[ that's still too close. take one more step and heads will roll. seriously. we're not called paranoid for nothing. ]

Did you see anyone?

[crotchbite]

[ rolls her eyes at his little joke. it's not funny.

when he steps forward, she aims the crossbow at him in warning. stay where you are, meathead, and answer the question ]

[theanimalside]

[rolls his eyes at the crossbow. god are you people from the past or something.]

See, no. Smelled and heard plenty. Nobody else home.

[you guys are like, the most laconic.]

[mercyless]

[ no we're just desperate. you're going to be too. ]

[ thanks for your input. looks at hel. it's now up to us. check it out or not? ]

[crotchbite]

[ bullets are precious and rare, she's not going to unleash the winchester on an apparently blind guy

bites on her lower lip in thought for a moment then decides to lower the crossbow, looking at michonne ] I'm going to check it out. Might be worth looking into it. [ u kno my boo and stuff ] You just got here?

[theanimalside]

[it might be an antique, but he's pretty relieved to not have a crossbow bolt trained between his thank you very functional eyes.]

About a week back.

[mercyless]

[ lowers the sword as well but she's not putting it away just yet. ]

[ nods to hel. she'll come too. doesn't matter what the new guy says. the quest is over when it comes to them. ]

[crotchbite]

[ puts the crossbow back to its place and looks one more time to him, long judging look ]

Well, you seem to have been doing great so far by yourself, so by all means: continue. [ picks up her bag and puts it over her shoulder ] Next time you sneak up on us, though, I'm sure we won't be so patient.

[ it's kind of her way of saying you can join us, we don't care either way ]
