Slipping through the Cracks

[Shadow Gash]

He chuckles and with really consciously realizing he was patting Boots' head. He looked at his hand...why he do it? It was like his body knew what to respond to something so.....childish. "Are you hungry? Powerpup is all we have at the moment"

[Toxic Panda]

*I chuckled as Skeets woke Boots up and watched Grizzly climb into the other bed in the room Acid was in. I leave them and join the others, responding back to Cotton* We didn't know if the town was being patrolled like so many others so we didn't want to draw attention to ourselves. And a good thing we left it there because that Drac patrol would have been all over us.

[skeets]

Thanks. Its all I've eaten and is nasty goop but I like having a full stomach... *I turn to skeets* You're an ass. I'm sticking with Gash from now on! HA You've been replaced!

*The laughing dies down* If that's really what you want. God help you Gash hahahahaha

*I reach the top of the stairs* Good idea Panda. At least one of the groups doesn't make a target out of themselves

Hey it was an emergency! Butthead here was in deep trouble and she wouldn't like it if.... *I catch myself and avoid a gaze Boots is now giving me* Anyway.... here now, safe and sound. *I sit back in my place beneath the window*

[Shadow Gash]

Shakes his head "I think you'd get lost with me, kid" After everyone, almost everyone, had their comments and there was an awkward silence he cleared his throat "Well, who else is hungry then...it's um...been a long day I guess for all of us"

[Toxic Panda]

*I sit and listen quietly then turn to Gash as he offers up some food. I smile* I'll take some, if thats alright.

[Shadow Gash]

He nodded but didn't really look at Panda "Yeah, I'll be back" he headed out to find that trolly.

[skeets]

I'll pass *I curl up on the floor next to Boots' bed as he awaits his food. I'm too used to sleeping on floors to sleep in one of the bunks. I fall asleep almost immediately*

(Sorry folks, I'm off to bed. Feel free to carry on with boots or cotton)

[Shadow Gash]

He came back with powerpups and saw that Skeets was sleeping. Poor guy...He tossed a pup to Boots, another to Panda placed the rest on a table in case the others were hungry. He went to pick up Skeets and dragged him to a bunk. He put him on the bunk with alot more effort than he should have. Tired, he assumed.

[Toxic Panda]

* I watched Gash take Skeets to bed as I finished up the can of Power Pup with hungry gulps. I've always hated this stuff but at least it's something to eat. I get up from where I'm sitting and pass the room Gash had disappeared into. I tell him I'm off to bed and go to the room where the boys are. I lay down on the couch in the corner and quickly drift off to sleep*

[Shadow Gash]

He watched as Panda left...Should of said a hi or okay or something stupid. As much as he racked his brain with this situation, it passed and he'd have to live with it and move on. He sighed to himself and walked around. Everyone was sleeping. He was tired but not tired enough to close his eyes and drift off into....whatever was waiting for him in dreamworld. He's mad that there are bits and pieces that he remembers but nothing that would lead him to where he's suppose to go. Panda mentioned a name, but that's the only lead he's got. He went and sat down by the window, in the shadows where if the dracs came by they wouldn't spot him but he'd spot them quick enough that he can run and shut the power again...."And the waiting begins..." he mumbled to himself.

[skeets]

*I jump out of my sleep after another nightmare haunts my dreams. I'm in a bed. How dd I get to the bed? My eyes dart around the room until I see Boots across the room. He should be stable enough to move today. I climb out of the bed and sit on the edge. Boots is still asleep. The morning burnt orange sun rays peer in the partially smashed window* Another dawn, another day in hell *I yawn and stretch before standing up. The window shows a decimated town outside* How did the world ever get to this?!

[Shadow Gash]

"from what I hear, people..." he responded to skeets "our greed and need for power, that's how the world ended up like t-" he stopped as he remember two children...they were dear to him, but whyyy? He shook his head and got off the windowsill and walked over to skeets "so what are you going to do now?"

[skeets]

You really think that's why? I can't believe that... We've existed for like a million years, its only gone wrong the last few decades. At least that's what I was always told after I was taken from the city. There was a quote in the house I was brought to it said "The World will not be destroyed by those that do evil; but by those who watch them without doing anything." I doubt if anyone would know now who said it.... As for what I'm gonna do? I have my mission that I can't abandon it. I won't abandon it. First of all, get him *Points at Boots* out of the zones and back to the house south of the zones. Then I guess its back to the Bowling Alley and wait... What about you?

[Shadow Gash]

He listened. That quote made sense. "either way the world screwed up and we did it...." he had another flash...to a hand this time. Someone helped him through hell...he looked outside "I guess in a way I have a mission too that I can't abandon. More for personal gain..." he kind of frowned at what he said but it was true. It was because he WANTED answers not because he needed them. It's all about personal gain in the end. "I guess, we're in the same boat my friend" he looked outside.

[skeets]

Ha you're telling me. You know, I'm wondering if the Alley is still standing... Ever get the feeling like you've forgotten so much because you're so preoccupied with staying alive? I had a sister once, so I'm told. I had an actual sister. I don't think I met her after I was brought to the city. I wonder if she even remembered me. And the only person who knew the truth is lost. *I sigh as Boots turns onto his side* That's life I suppose
