The Flock: A Maximum Ride Roleplay (Closed, 7/7)

"Why dont we just sit here and start joking around? Act like normal kids here?" Reese asked in a low voice

“They’re hungry,” Fox muttered, becoming even more uncomfortable. Being near Erasers hurt his head, since their emotions were always warped and awful. He did his best not to look nervous, but it wasn’t working out so well.

Winston walked into the McDonald's, heading straight for the table.
"Let's go. Now." He'd saw their reactions and put two and two together. "Bring your food with you."

Jax nodded and followed him, nervously glancing back at the Erasers. One of them, she remembered, loved to kick her cage and hurt her whenever possible. She looked forward again and moved faster, breath quickening.

"Jax," he said quietly, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder, "You'll be alright, I promise. But if they do come after us, you fly off, alright? Don't worry about me."

She nodded and swallowed, giving him a tiny quick hug and following the rest of the Flock.

(I just realized there's two "roleplay"s in the title. Woops.)

(Who's the eldest? Reese is 18)

(then reese is, I think)

(Winston's 17)

(Really? I assumed Winston was cuz he seems fairly mature)

(Oof!)

Reese nodded and lingered behind, making sure each of them, especially the younger ones, made it inside before he did.

(Nah, he just looks thirty)
"Reese," Winston said, grabbing the eldest's wrist before he could walk inside. "I don' want those Eraser's followin' us, if you catch my drift. Mind taggin' along?"

(He intends on fighting them, if it isn't obvious)

Fox glanced behind him at the older boys. They were planning something. He walked back towards Winston and Reese. “Why aren’t you coming?” he asked suspiciously.

"Don' worry 'bout it," Winston said, giving Fox an assuring smile. "Jus' talkin'. Go ahead an' head inside."

Fox frowned but did as he said, following the others. He glanced back suspiciously before sitting at a table with the others, annoyed that he wasn’t privy to that information.

Reese nodded and cracked his knuckles. "Let's go." He muttered

With one last glance over at the rest of the flock, Winston shut the door to the shelter and headed off towards the McDonald's. His wings flexed in anticipation, making his back appear to ripple.

(if you don't mind I can be one of the Erasers since my character is just waiting inside. Some other people can be them too)

(Yeah, that sounds perfect)

(yeah i can be one too)

Reese glanced back in worry. The younger kids felt like siblings to him and if anything happened to them, he wouldn't forgive himself. "I really dont want to di this." He groaned, flicking his hand, causing a couple small water balls to freeze in his hand.

"Ellie's with 'em," he said, shrugging. "I wouldn't be doin' this otherwise. Besides, when's the last time me an' you lost a fight?"
It had certainly been a while.

The lead Eraser stepped forward, still in human form, but beginning to morph into his wolfish form. He sniffed at Reese and Winston's. "Oh, look, its the bird kids. Thought you could get away, did you?" He snarled.

Reese grinned. "Oh no Winston! They caught us! What will we ever do?" He said in a fake scared voice before laughing like a maniac

This only made the Eraser angrier. He lunged towards Reese in wolf form and swiped at his stomach with a sharply clawed paw.

Winston, as usual, was all business, lowering his stance and keeping his feet wide. His fighting stance was well-trained from years of fighting.

A second Eraser came up behind the first one, already in wolf form as he lunged straight at Reese, his sharp teeth bared to bite the bird kid.
