Griffin paid no attention whatsoever to the gun. "Griffin Lane."
"I think he's batman" said Derrick Mockingly
"Rebel. Are you gonna kill me now or can you drop that stupid gun. You look pathetic holding it. And no I'm not batman but thanks for trying."
Brea chuckled at Derrick's batman comment. She then said, "You can drop the gun Derrick, I think he's fine."
Derrick did but kept a watchful eye on him and then asked,"what you doing here"
"What are you doing here?" He asked taking a step forward and stressing the word 'you'.
"Just trying to get water to make food" said Derrick
"Soup, to be exact. What about you? Why are you in here?"
"I choose not to display that information." Griffin says smugly
"Why? We're on the same side.. Aren't we?"
((Yeah, sorry I've been busy. Tristan asked me to let you know that he's grounded so he won't be on for a while. He said we could continue without him))"you tell me," griffin says casually
((Ok that's fine. Thanks for telling me. I was just wondering why you guys weren't on for like four days))"Well, if you are a DMG then I guess we're on the same side. We should work together."
((Did Tristan say how long he was grounded?))
Fine by me." Griffin says shrugging. "As long as we play by my rules."((Yeah. He said that he's grounded for about 3 week. I'll let you know if anything changes))
((Ok))"It depends on what exactly your rules are.."
"All right, let's start with your weapons. If you point them at me I swear I will kill you no matter what side your on. Second: I'm in charge. Whatever I tell you to do, you do it. If you do anything that makes me suspicious I will kill you. Also, you just remain at least 3 feet away from me at all times. I don't like people and you are no exception."
"We'll agree, but only if the things you say for us to do are legal, and not disrespectful."
Griff thinks for a moment. " I can't guarantee you they will always be 'respectful' or 'legal' per sai... But I'll do my best. Deal?" He asks extending a hand. "Only shake if you mean it."
Brea thought for a moment, glanced at Derrick, then shook Griffin's hand, "we agree."((Trying to keep Tristan in the RP even though he's not here.))
((Ok))Great. Now let's go find something to put the water in" griffin said turning around
"There's pottery in the empty village we were just in. We can get some there."((If we do that, let's just skip going to the village and say that we just went))
((Okay do you want to continue there then?))
((What I meant was that we just skip over that part- instead of changing threads- and say that we just came back to the cave with a container.))
((So you want me to continue off as though we already got the bucket?))
Griffin hands the bucket they retrieved form the village to brea. "You never did tell me who you were."
Brea took the bucket in hand and filled it with water, "I'm Brea."
"Well, Brea, if you two intend to stay here we should at least make a 'campsite' so we can sleep."
"Derrick and I have some food. Probably not enough for two even, that's why I was going to make soup. We should probably make a campsite though."
"Alright, you get started on the soup and I'll see what I can do about a campsite. Do you by any chance have something to make a fire?
"Derrick has some matches" Brea took a few of the matches from Derrick and gave them to Griffin, "ok. Tell me or Derrick if you need anything else to make the campsite and I'll get started on some food."
Griffin nods and then heads outside in search of any wood he could use to make the fire. A few minutes later he returns with an armful of branches and dried wood. "I'll get the fire started. It's starting to get chilly."
A few minutes later, Grffin had a fire going. He stood up and turned to Brea... "I have some blankets in my bag. We can use that to soften the ground."
Brea grabbed the potatoes and canned beans and put them in a small pot that they had taken from the village.
Griffin grabbed two blankets form his backpack and laid them out next to the fire. "So. Why are you guys actually here?"
"We met a while ago when I stumbled in a library after being chased," Brea waited until Derrick nodded in confirmation so Brea continued, "since then we've basically just tried to stay alive. We just started helping each other. We needed a place with food and shelter so we went to an empty town. It didn't have enough left food, so I decided to make a soup. So we came here for water. In this cave."
"Oh. Well, I actually was in a predicament somewhat like yours. You planning on doing anything big in rebelling against the government?"
"For right now, at least me, I feel like I should try and live a little bit."
"That's a nice thought. i like thinking of it this way: as long as the government doesn't have us, as long as we're not puppets, we're free. We can live."
"I agree. Live life to the most. What was that predicament you mentioned a bit ago?"
Griffin paused and looked up at Brea before speaking. "That's none of your buisness." He says scowling
Brea thought that was odd because she had just said what had happened to her. "Ok." Brea tried to act like it was fine.
Griff silently watches Brea. "It's nothing I have against you." He finally says. "I just have trust issues. And like I said, I don't like people."
Brea studied Griffin for a reaction, "I don't remember you saying you didn't like people."
"Well then you have a bad memory. After naming my conditions I stated that I don't like people and that you are no exception." Griff barks
