Kai woke up in a cold sweat, the remnants of a bad nightmare fading from her mind. She sat up and stood after rubbing her eyes. Leaving the room she came down the stairs stretching, "Hey, Tyler." She said, smiling. Her hair wasn't too bad, but it was still draping down over her left eye. Holly rolled off the bed, her eyes flew open and she reached for her knife. Realizing she was alone, she shrugged, leaving her knife in her pocket. She just laid there, deciding to do nothing for a couple minutes.

[Blaiiine]

"Morning, hun." Tyler replied, turning the stove off. His shaggy hair was pulled up into a bun, still messy though. Turning to her, he brushed the hair out of her eye and pecked her forehead. "You get some decent sleep?" He asked, going over to the fridge.

[cuzyeahboi]

She nodded, "I'll take it you found plenty to cook with." She said smiling,

[Blaiiine]

"Just some basics, nothing fancy." Tyler replied, still in the fridge looking for a specific ingredient. His tail was wagging slightly, and his mood was chipper despite being shot.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai was glad that at least Tyler could stay happy-ish. So she should too. (gotta go today)

[Blaiiine]

(Okie dokie, holmes.)


Tyler took the rest of the food he needed and went back to the stove. He hummed some older rock song to himself as he cooked, occasionally cursing from a grease burn.


Blaine came inside, slamming the door and groaning loudly. Kicking off his boots, he wandered into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Pulling out a bottle, he cracked the top and took a swig.


"Hey, you two." He said, nodding at Kai before taking a seat at the kitchen island bar. "What are you cooking, dude?" Blaine asked as he sniffed the air.


"Bacon and eggs. You," Tyler replied, pointing the spatula at Blaine. "Stay out of it until Holly's here."


That order solicited a whine from the bear, who took another drink.

Holly came down the stairs in the same jeans but a new clean-ish white shirt with a band name on the front. Reading the name she snorted, some indie rock band named Fall Out Boy. "Holly's here." She said, "Did I miss anything?" She reached up to her ear, undoing the makeshift bandage. She grimaced as she pulled it off, it was stained with blood, and so was the hair around it.

[Blaiiine]

"Crap, let me go find some fresh bandages." Blaine offered, hopping up and leaving to go search. But not before taking some bacon.


"Hey, I saw that! I know where you sleep!" Tyler yelled, getting a distant laugh from Blaine in return.


"But no, you're right on time." Tyler said, turning off the stove and opening the cabinet to get plates. He started serving out the food, setting the plates on the kitchen bar.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai rolled her eyes, Holly sighed. She didn't need anything, the blood had already dried. But, he was already gone. Kai hadn't been just interested in robotics, biology was also a favorite. This was becoming an increasingly sought for cross of fields, being able to model a robot or function after nature's best. So, she had studied anatomy and knew a thing or two about wounds. "Hey Tyler?" She began questioning. "How's your shoulder holding up?"

[Blaiiine]

"Huh?" Tyler looked up from his plate, finishing a piece of bacon. "Oh, it's pretty sore but nothing I can't manage." He said, taking another bite.


Blaine came back, grabbing his plate and going to the living room. "Ehh." He mumbled, having forgotten what he even left to go find.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai nodded, Holly bit into a piece of bacon, chewing silently she stared off into nothing. Kai on the other hand took a small bite of egg.

[Blaiiine]

"So...this community seems defensible. I mean, as long as we don't have constant attacks like last night." Tyler said, looking up at Holly and Kai before taking another bite. Even though he had already talked to Kai, he knew Holly and Blaine would be tough sales.


Blaine finished his plate and went back outside, heading towards the garage.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly raised an eyebrow, "You sure? I mean, it would be an easier defense point but we need to keep moving if we want supplies. And I doubt we're becoming farmers over night." Kai bit into a piece of bacon, looking between Holly and Tyler

[Blaiiine]

"We can go on trips to find supplies, that's not difficult." Tyler replied, taking a swig of the drink Blaine left. "Plenty of houses nearby and a town." He added, finishing his plate off and taking the dish to the sink.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Hm. We probably won't live long enough to burn through it all..." She nodded. "Alright, we'll defend this point."  Kai smiled, then continued eating.
