Hope Dies slowly revived

[Armalite_]

Spike laughed. "Sounds like drawing's dangerous business." He scratched his head. "Do you ever go home to see your family or friends?" He tossed another log onto the fire.

(meanwhile)

Eddie nodded in agreement. "Ok, then. We'll pick up some materials on our way back to camp." He looked back. "What do you think their problem is?" He whispered to Kitt, gesturing over at the rabbits.

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

He shook his head. "I haven't seen most of my family in many years, and that was exactly why I went on that ship..." Howl nodded his head at the wreckage "...so I could visit my family and write the books with my brother."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt looked over at Asia and Gerren, shaking his head and whispering back "theyr rabbits aint they? herbivores man... i guess they just dont like seein' so much killin'... the young ones a prince or summin'..."

[Armalite_]

Spike looked down and picked up his stick again. He began to draw in the sand. He didn't know what to say to Howl. "Hey...you got an extra smoke?"

(meanwhile)

Eddie looked back to the rabbits over the bushes. "Prince?" He looked back at Kitt then back at the rabbits. "Huh...Good for him. C'mon we gotta get back before light dies." He looked up at the three suns in the sky. "...If it dies." He began to walk away. "Make sure we don't loose the bunnies." He said back to Kitt.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt turned back to Gerren and Asia "hey guys! dont lag behind!" he turned back to Eddie catching up with him as he walked off... "so.... get wood to make fire and shelter.... we got food.... survive.... sounds like we got a plan.."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl nodded and handed it to him, then threw him his lighter. "You smoke?"

[Lone-Wolf]

Ross had been quiet the whole journey and was sitting a few metres away from the group...

((I'm back))

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Ross, come sit with us! I don't bite." Said Howl, chuckling and blowing out smoke.

[Lone-Wolf]

Ross removed his high end jacket and trousers  reaveling an entire casual outfit underneath before furtivilly walking over to the campfire

[Armalite_]

Spike lit up and tossed Howl the lighter back. "No. I quit when I got back home...But quitting's easy. I've done it a thousand times before." He smiled and blew smoke through his nostrils. He looked up at Ross. "Nice you could join us, Ross. You want something to eat?" He held up the deer meat.

(meanwhile)

Eddie picked up several branches in his free arm. He continued to walk along. "A plan like this will only take us so far, Kitt. I suggest we take it slow and easy. We could be here for some time."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Asia sighed, his shoulders slumped as they ate and heard kitt's voice.
"Come on, we gotta stay with them," said Gerren as he stood up, with a clump of leaves in his hand.
"Do we really?" Asia asked.
"We wont have a chance," Gerren replied as Asia stood up and they trudged back to the group.

[Armalite_]

Eddie appeared back in the clearing where they left Spike, Ross, and Howl. He carried the wood and carcass over to where Spike sat and dropped the supplies down. Spike looked at the rabbit like creature. "Nice catch." Spike commented, blowing out smoke. Eddie nodded and walked over to where large pieces of sheet metal scattered the ground. He began to search and sift through the debris while Spike began to work with the meat.

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl smiled. "Ah, good work you guys! Now we might not die in this god-forsaken place." Blowing out smoke, he looked at the meat. "Where did you find this little critter?"

[Armalite_]

Eddie knocked over a piece of metal, revealing a body of a crash victim. He grimaced and looked over at Howl. "It was over near some bushes not too far out that way." He looked down at the body and inspected the uniform it was wearing. It was an armed guard for one of the royalties aboard. He looked down at the pistol that was still in the holster. He bent down and pulled it out. He took out the extra clips from the belt and stuffed them in his pocket. He put the weapon in his bent and pulled his shirt over it. He looked back to make sure none of the other's had seen. He was in the clear and continued about his scavenging.

Spike had already began to skin the animal. He'd already kept the fur from the deer and was drying it out in the sun on a rock nearby. He took a quick glance up at Eddie then at Howl then back at the animal. A clear liquid began to drip out of where Eddie had bit. Spike dropped the skin and looked at Eddie. "Eddie you idiot! You pumped this thing with poison!" Eddie looked back. "Yeah so? Suck it out!" Eddie went back to sifting. Spike groaned and picked his knife back up. He began to cut the skin out from where Eddie struck and began to suck on the wound. Several seconds later, Spike spat the venom out off to the side. "Ugh!" Spike said, placing his mouth over the wound again to suck out what was left.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Come on, we should really help out with the shelter," said Gerren as he chewed on the last of his leaves. The two of them stood and walked around the campsite, gathering metal and wood when they could. Moving around more and more metal, they found the royal guard laying on the ground, mutilated. Asia was first to find it, letting out a gasp, before pulling Gerren's attention.
"It's Mikah," he said. Gerren looked over the body.
"You sure? He's one of ours but Mikah was bigger. It can't be him so just don't think about it," He said, guiding Asia away. The young prince looked around at nothing, his mind was elsewhere.
