Realistic Modern Day RP {Open}

(I thought I had mentioned in the chat when we were discussing the plot, and Erin said she was gonna take them to a train station near the edge of town while she looked for a safe house. Since we're thinking of them going to Claire's town, I'll have Erin take them that direction. I'm imagining they'll be out in the country//wildlands for a bit now, since they're leaving town. And of course that'll be dangerous and they might run in with zombies and bad people and stuff.)

Erin dropped her bag in a corner. "I think there's some old lockers here somewhere. So there might be showers nearby too. Let's take a look." she lead the way into the backrooms and started opening doors to see what rooms they lead to.

(actually it just occurred to me that they could probably follow the train tracks toward Claire's country? That makes sense so they won't just be wandering in a general direction.)

(Ooh yes I like that idea of following the train tracks. It makes so much more sense than just wandering in the middle of nowhere for days.)

Claire followed Erin back as she opened up doors to all these different rooms. "It's… Been quite a while since… Any of us have bathed, I'm sure…" She scratched at her head painfully. "And maybe there's some soap or something around? I'm not asking for high-quality… Just… Something to get me through." …I always say too much, don't I??…

App had been avoiding contact with Clovis the entire time to the train station. App heard Caire talking to Erin about showers and followed them, creeping up cautiously. "C-could I get a… shower too..? If there are any, anyways. I… kinda want to see what color my hair is…" She blushed and looked down, afraid of what the other girls might be thinking.

"I have some soap in my pack you can use." Erin said. "Here we are." She opened one last door and saw that it lead into a locker room. Showers lined the back wall. "The water might not be hot, but it should at least be running." she tested one and sure enough, the water turned on. "I'll get you girls some soap and see if I can find some towels or something."

"It makes sense…." Claire's lip flicked up in a smile. "It must be so dirty that the color's distorted…" After a little bit of scanning App, she frowned. I don't think I can ever recover that friendship… If she's just going to loose her memory again…

App squirmed uncomfortably. "Ummm… Could you… maybe.. help me? It's gonna be hard since I can't see the back of my head and…" She slumped. "Actually, I've never taken a shower before. I'm sorry. I'm being a pain."

"You mean…. Like… Ever?" Claire was nearly astonished. Poor App…. "Maybe I can, but… I'm not really sure how to. Because there's no way I'm showering in my clothes." She blushed a little bit.

App tilted her head. "Is it… embarrassing to take off clothes around other people? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Is that unusual?" She then shuffled. "And no… I've never taken a shower by myself…"

"W-Well….yes…." Claire said. "Maybe we can f-find a way around this problem, though." No, I have no idea how else we're going to do this… She bit her lip. "Maybe…." But if I just shower in my bra– that's the only one that I have that fits me and I can't get it wet!!! Claire sighed. "I don't know how we'll be able to do this without… It being awkward."

App thought about this dilemma. "I can always keep my back turned. Plus, I can…" Her tail swished agitatedly. She put her face in her hands and groaned, frustrated with herself. "I don't know!", she cried out into her hands, not even sure what the issue was. She sat down heavily, looking at the tile floor in dejection.

Claire felt bad about how terrible App felt… It seemed like all feelings were contagious in one way or another to her. "Or I can just tell you what to do…. Does that work?" Since that'll solve all these awkward problems and such….

App looked up. "That might work. You can tell me from the other stall…" She hopped up and her tail whipped upright. She smiled and bounced on her heels. "A real shower! This'll be… interesting." Then she realized she probably shouldn't be so excited.

"Alright then…." Claire lead App into where the rows of stalls were, and she gestured to one. "I suppose you can get in here…" Hopefully she won't be too scared about this… Claire got into the stall next to hers, setting the soap Erin gave her on a small barred rack.

Erin made her way back to the other and dug through her pack for soap and something to help them dry off with. "Us girls are gonna take showers, then you guys can have at it." she said, beckoning Jessica to come with her. Once back in the locker room she picked through the lockers until she found some old towels. They were dirty, but she decided she could wash them in the showers and they would be usable. "Here," she said, handing a small bottle to Claire. "It's very concentrated, so only use a few drops, or you'll have a bubble bath." She began taking Jessica's hair out of her ponytail. "Apollyon… are you sure your… mechanics… will be safe in a shower?" She wasn't sure how much artificial tissue the girl had in her body, but from the metal tail Erin could guess there might be wiring and other things that might not react well to getting wet.

Claire took the bottle, giving Erin a thank you before going into the stall. She undressed in the stall– although they were all girls anyways– and put her clothes where they wouldn't get all wet.
When she turned on the water, she let out a screeching howl. "It's so cold!!!" She screamed.

App shrugged. "I'm going to assume so. It seems to be watertight. I don't think they'll be a problem. But, Erin..?" She looked nervous and glanced at the stall. She jumped at Claire's yelp.

Dare was sitting against the brick wall of the station when he heard Claire's yelp. He almost bolted into the bathroom's to make sure she was okay, but he processed what she'd yelped and calmed down quickly.

Erin ran her hands through her own hair and pulled out clean clothes for herself and her daughter (pretend she brought her pack with her to the bathroom, I didn't mention it before). She glanced up at the girl. "Hmm? What's the matter?"

(Sorry unsure what girl referrs to… )

Claire shivered as she cleaned herself in the shower, taking the hair tie and clip out of her hair and washing it thoroughly. I d-d-don't need hot w-water, She thought. All I need is to get clean….

(She was talking to Apollyon since App addressed her by name)

(Okey thanks)

(I'mma just say that Darren has convinced Fiona to go to the train station and that she completely forgot what Erin said about them going there as well if that's ok with y'all. I'm bored and I want to have Fiona do something)

(Sounds good.)

(Oke)

Fiona grumbled quietly, wishing she didn't take Darrens advice. "You should check the train station for supplies.." She grumbled, mimicking his voice "I bet there will be tons of supplies.." She continued, kicking a stray rock and glaring at the ground since Darren was smart to stay where she couldn't see him right now. She crossed her arms and tried not to breath in too deeply since the sweatshirt stilled smelled horrible.

(Hai!)
Fiona saw the station and she shook her head "You better be right Darren…" She mumbled, "I definitely need food.." She continued, talking to herself "I haven't eaten since…I can't remember and maybe a fresh change of clothes would be good." She smiled weakly and shook her head "Molly's going to murder me when we meet again."

Fiona glanced at Darren and chuckled "I hope.." She looked at the station and sighed "Are you sure there are supplies in here?"

(Lol…. Imma back…. For a little bit….)

Claire finished up her awful, freezing-cold shower as quick as possible and turned the water off. Holy cow…. Any longer and I would've froze to death…. She dried off with the towel Erin had gotten for her, and put her clothes on, careful not to get them wet. Glad that's over…
