Tristian huffed at Riley "No one asked for your opinion short stuff."
"short stuff?" she glared at him.
"yeah, Shorty, short stuff, tiny." he smirked at her.
she crackled her knuckles walking over to him and glaring up at him. "wanna say that again wimp?"
"I gladly will, shorty-"
riley uppercutted him.

Clovis pulls his hair up, tying it back in a pony tail.
“Yeah?”
I wouldn’t know.
A chill runs up his spine and he furrows his brow, his memory filling in a few crevices as he walks. But not offering helpful information. Just a few faces and moments- holding a child, a one eyed blonde (it Darren :)) so on and so forth.
“I’ve apparently lost track of more than just time.” He admits, giving the smallest chuckle and smile at the end.
group
Molly pauses outside of the store, turning to peek in the window.
Yes, you go girl. Punch his gut next.
She turns back around, almost regretting not punching him herself.
What a creep.
group
"Shortstack."
Punch.
tristian rubbed the blood off his face from his bloody nose, man this girl had rage issues. "Are you traveling alone?" he noticed her guarded stance and tired eyes.
"What does it matter?" she huffed out at him.
"Because its dangerous for people to be alone, no matter the bite in someone its better to be in groups, stay here a sec."
he turned and ran to catch up to molly. "Hi, its me again. I was wondering if you could do something for me. something really small and then you never have to see me again."
group
Molly gives him a glare over her shoulder, “can you take a hint? No. Get lost kid.” She quickens her pace, turning a corner.
group
"wait- I was wondering if you could take the girl with you!" he yelled at her as she quickened her pace, her cursed. "Dam it, she wont want to come with me but i cant just leave her alone…" he runs a hand through his hair.
Apollyon smiles a bit at that. “Yeah, I understand what that’s like. When you guys first found me, my memory was completely wiped and the only reason I had a name is because I had woken up clutching a paper with my current name on it.” Her headache was now awful. She pulled out her bottle again and took a swig. “Did you know that my name means “destroyer”?”
group
Clovis looks back to her with his sleepy, blue eyes. “Yeah.” He sighs, the small smile still on his lips.
It was nice for someone to understand rather than get upset.
“Do you ever just… forget again? Like wake up and it’s all a haze. Like you were never here?”
group
"wait- I was wondering if you could take the girl with you!" he yelled at her as she quickened her pace, her cursed. "Dam it, she wont want to come with me but i cant just leave her alone…" he runs a hand through his hair.
Molly abruptly stops, turning to glare. “You think I care? Look kid, if I was a good person at all, this would be really touching, but it’s not. She’s survived this far, I’m sure she’s absolutely fine. Go start a charity or something.” She snaps.
group
"You and I both know that if your not in at least groups of two your survival chances go down, I think you too are very familiar you should at least talk to her." He calls out to her. please stop being so gosh darn attractive please. he walked up to her, "you never know until you try, and if you never try being a good person then how will you know your not?" he walked past her and off into the distance.
group
Molly squints in irritation, watching him walk away.
?? Who does he think he is? I’m wayyyy to bust with my own stuff to babysit right now. I lost my other kid and I gotta find him.
She shakes her head and hoists her bag up on her arm, starting to walk again.
After a second she pauses again.
“You gotta be freakin kidding me. He has a point.” She looks over her shoulder and growls.
Who am I kidding?
Molly turns around with a huff, headed back towards the market.
Clovis looks back to her with his sleepy, blue eyes. “Yeah.” He sighs, the small smile still on his lips.
It was nice for someone to understand rather than get upset.
“Do you ever just… forget again? Like wake up and it’s all a haze. Like you were never here?”
Apollyon closed her her and nodded, a sad look on her face. “And every time I forget once more, even though it’s only for a little while, I’m terrified, because all I remember is that I’m not supposed to be here.” She took the liberty of resting her head on his shoulder as they continued walking.
group
(am i the only one freaking out about how he was able to make her admit he was right and turn around?)
He turned his head to see if his words had any affect and smiled when he saw her heading back towards the market and he could only hope the girl stayed there and accepted the help, he did a fist pump. yes. honestly surprised that the girl didn't ask about him being by himself, guess she must have assumed he was with a group or something. He continued to look for supplies.
group
Clovis lets the silence seep in for a few seconds before speaking again. “But I’m glad you’re here.”
He takes her hand and squeezes it, if only to be reassuring.
He stares into the trees as they walk, his mind filling in the blanks of his memory of App at least with the feel of her hand.
Which each passing moment the sky darkens, the sun starting to dip behind the distant trees and turn the clouds a deep orange.
(Idk if they were already holding hands or not.)
group
Riley finished gathering up the stuff she needed and was about to exit the store when she saw molly returning towards the shop. "Hey."
group
Molly grumpily jogs back towards the store, glancing around for the girl.
Shes gotta be like twelve. If I leave her someone’s gonna eat her or something. Anyways, Clovis is such a freakin dad he’ll adopt her once I find him. I hope he’s alright, that big-
Riley’s voice interrupts her thoughts and she glares.
“Who are you with?” She demands.
(They were not)
Apollyon engined her fingers into Clovis’, beginning to hum a soft song with her slowly dying vocal cords. She drank and smoked as an attempt to get herself to die faster. Ever since she left Clovis (and the others, she guessed) everything had spiraled downward. She hadn’t wanted to continue on. But now… just being with someone who understood some her pain alleviated some of her anxiety and lightened her depression just a little bit…
group
(Poor bbys ;( I love them both so much)
group
A chill breeze sweeps across the forest as the sun sinks lower, making the temperature drop. Clovis squints ahead. “We should probably stop soon for camp if we want any light while we set up. There’s a building not far from here, I can see it a little.”
group
"No one. Who are you with?" she demands back, with a fight me energyand i just realized she does look like a 12 year old XD.
(Poor bbys ;( I love them both so much)
(Same.)
App lifted her head up and nodded, seeing the building much more clearly than Clovis with his human eyes. “It certainly looks intact enough. We’ll sleep there then. Should we pick up the pace?”
(I AM AlIVE I JUST HAD NO ACCESS TO NOTEBOOK FOR THE DAY I'M SO SORRY D: Fia is currently away from everyone atm and I'm honestly thinking it might be easiest to reunite her a little later? Everyone is currently busy anyway :) )
group
“A very big guy.” Molly states. She sighs and gives Riley a glare. “How old are you? You shouldn’t be here alone.”
group
Liking their current place, and not really being a fan of running or jogging for that matter, the thought isn’t appealing. But he nods anyways, putting a good bit of effort into walking/jogging faster.
Within a few minutes they make it to the building and he looks it over. “We should probably stay on the ground level, otherwise it’ll be more difficult to escape if something comes after us.”

(AHHH GRACE I MISSED YOOOOU)
group
(She could join Molly and Riley honestly)
group
(its okay man :3 and sounds good to me)
She rolled her eyes. "How old am i? 18, how old are you?" she huffed hand on her hip. "Why are you all of sudden concerned about me?"
(I MISSED YOU TOO BUCKYY :D :D :D IT'S SO GOOD TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN! I'm sure it'll be fine if Fia gets caught up in the mess of things after everyone else figures their crap out, she's already basically wandering around the abandoned edge of town for somewhere to stop anyway)
Apollyon nodded and kept hold of Clovis’ hand as they went inside. “Here, take a breather. I’ll set up camp. She gently took Clovis’ pack from his back and started setting up the necessary things and Clovis’ bedroll. When she was finished, she took her jacket off, balled it up and lay on the cold, hard ground with the balled up jacket as her pillow.

(Okay. As long as you don’t feel left out and feel free to bring her back whenever!)
