A Cat Stuck In A Tree

[redhavoc]

*I sniff a bit after Max leaves, trying to clean my face up as best I can with my sleeve. In a minute I hear the call for a Killjoy meetin and feeling oddly light after my outburst I decide to go and observe the meeting*

*I grab my red jacket from the side table (I'm inseperable from it now, despite Arson's attempts to get me to wear other tops from the theater's ample supply) and slip on my shoes before I even attempt to get out of bed. Taking a deep breath, I stand like Max and I practiced and make it to the door before I need to rest. I lean on the frame, breathing harder than I should, and use the wall as support as I slowly head for the stage, which isn't more than a couple doors and a hallway down. Should be easy, right?*

[Arson Anthem]

*I sit on the edge of the stage, waiting for everyone to gather* Food dumps sound good, and so do old movies and security systems, but I don't know that we want to go anywhere near the city right now. It's almost certainly on high alert after our break-in, and now Max is a wanted man as well. If anything, we should be heading into five or six. But let's ask the others, see what they think... does someone want to go wake Nack? She might not have heard me from the kitchen.

((Sorry, I haven't posted since ages around here but I log in everyday to read the posts and I truly don't know what to do and I can't find a better re-entrance))
*I hear Arson talking about waking Nack up and walk towards her* I will go wake her/him up... and it's also an opportunity to introduce myself since I haven't done it... of course if I may do so

[Poison Shot]

*I step onto the stage and get a warm feeling from the cracks of sunlight through the ceiling and onto the stage*
We have to do what we have to do. If there's a safer option further out in the zones then lest do it. Going close to the city is risky but it could be easy if we send a small squad. Get close, Scavenge, and leave. But if we partake in that option we can't send any high profile people. Aka red, max, and cat. They'll be on the immediate watch list since they are escapee's.

(Not a problem - and you can always just make something up! This is an rp, after all, so you don't have to wait for cues unless someone tells you they have something in particular planned )

*I smile over at Moon when she appears* Of course, go for it! Don't be afraid to shake him if she doesn't get up right away.

*I turn back to Poison, considering his words* You're right, it would be awfully convenient. But I can't shake the feeling that after so many break-ins, one of these times BLI will finally get their act together and woe to any killjoy within sight of the walls. And if it's a food dump, they might be keeping an eye out for scavengers. *I sigh, then shrug* But I'm not one to tell anyone what to do. I know /I/ won't be going anywhere near the city, but if a few of us want to I'll help in any way I can.

*There's a killjoy sleeping in the kitchen but no food, and when I hear the shout from up front I head out to the stage. There are several killjoys already assembled, and I stand off to the side to listen. I doubt they'd want my input on whatever it is they're planning, and I'm not sure I'd want to give any, but I still want to know what's going on. I'm hoping it involves leaving; we've been stationary too long.*

[Funhouse Gear]

*I get off the stool inside the ticket booth and stretch, then push open the door and follow the others down the aisle. Arson sits on the stage and I go around, taking the stairs off to one side and standing behind her. By the lack of breakfast and the talk of scavenging, I gather we're out of food. Wonderful.*

[redhavoc]

*I stumble down the hall, relying heavily on the wall for support. My breath becomes more shallow and I have to stop when there is a pain in my side. I carefully feel my side, not wanting to tear the stitches (which the doc says are about ready to come out) but everything feels fine and I decide it must just be hunger, so I ignore it*

*By the end of the hall I'm starting to see the by now familiar little bursts of fireworks at the edge of my vision that indicate I will have to stop soon. My knees burn a bit as well and I grit my teeth, as frustrated as ever by how weak my body it. I reach the wing of the stage, but miss the doorframe and begin to fall. There's too many fireworks now to see where I'm really going and my mind is a bit hazy from the effort. I brace for the inevitable smack of the floor. This is not the enterance I wanted to make*

[petroleumblaster]

*I go to wake Jump up and am surprised to see him up already. Guess Arson did yell pretty loud. I help him up and he starts telling me all about how he plans to take our Arson's stitches today, maybe Red's as well. I nod as we make our way to the stage. Boy, he is in a good mood today*

[Funhouse Gear]

*I'm about to ask who we'd be leaving at the theater if some of us went out to find food, when I hear a muffled thud from behind me. I spin around, seeing Arson do the same out of the corner of my eye, and wince when I see Red on the floor*

I've got her, *I say when the others start to move too, and cross the stage at a run. I kneel next to her, helping her sit up when she reaches out to pull herself up. She's so tiny; no wonder Arson's gotten so protective over her. I spot a flash of purple from the other end of the stage, and call out for Jump* Jump! A little help?

[jumpstart]

Coming!
*I'm jogging to the stage as soon as I hear the thump, only realizing it's Red when Gear moves so quickly to her aid. I jump up on the stage and kneel next to the two of them. I check her over quickly, but find no signs of tearing or concussion* How are you feeling, Red?

*She shrugs weakly, not entirely focusing on either Gear or me. She's already tired, which has me worried. I'm hoping it's just a simple case of overexertion*

[Moonlight Revenge]

(thanks, Arson)
*I smile back at Arson* I'll go right away...
*walks towards the place where Nack's sleeping* Nack! wake up, it's the morning already... *I shake him/her a little bit until s/he wakes up*

[madicecat]

*I hear Arson summoning us, and I can overhear my name... it still feels a bit strange to refer to myself with the name of an animal... mentioned as one of the people who cannot go back to the City. Why not? I wonder.*

*I can see that Cat is thinking about something... she seems to do that more and more every passing day. Luckily, she can now retain names and faces properly, but still I wonder how much she remembers from each killjoy she used to know. I put my hand around her shoulders and we approach the stage, where a small meeting is being prepared. I know what we're going to discuss; our lack of food, possible plans to get some supplies, where to go now that the theatre is so crowded... I'd like to go away, somewhere where it was just me and Cat, and I could talk to her and help her remember who she was. Maybe I'll say it at the meeting, but maybe I should just disappear with her.*

[Max Griffiths]

*I'm not expecting Red to appear in the doorway, and before I can get to her she's being helped by the medic and the killjoy with the multicolored goggles. I go over anyway, standing a few feet away. The medic says Red's tired, which makes sense, and I'm glad to hear she didn't hurt herself with the fall. At least she's still trying to walk, though she should have waited until I was there.*

[redhavoc]

*The doc asks me if I can walk and I stubbornly nod a 'yes'. Nevertheless, Gear gets on one side of me and Jump on the other and they half-walk, half-carry me to the circle of killjoys. I blush a bit when I see them all, not sure how to react. Arson smiles a bit and I indicate I want to sit next to her. They oblige and seat me next to her on the stage*

*After checking my eyes again (for who knows what) Jump goes to sit by his twin. I glance back and see Max leaning on the back wall of the stage. I feel a little guitly and wonder if I should have insisted on sitting with him instead...*
