Dead USA (DrTrollinski and Elwin)

[DrTrollinski]

"We won't let you down. As you can see, I use a bow--"


"Bad weapon." Phillip interrupted.


"So..." He continued harshly. "That means I can offer something on the more quiet front." He smiled. Something sprung to mind when he mentioned the bow.


"My youngest son's picked up a bow... Do you think you could teach him when you have the time? That'd mean the world to him."


Jacob smiled. "Of course. It's quite simple once you get the hang of it." He said, Greg looked at Luna and smiled. That made him feel a little bit better about things.

 

[Elwin]

Luna's frowned at Phillip's comment, but beamed when the bow was mentioned. She grabbed Greg's shoulder excitedly. "He will love that!" she let go as quickly as she touched and yawned slightly. "I'm gonna' sleep a little longer if that is okay." Luna walked away from the three men and climbed back into the car, using the blanket as a screwed up pillow. She fell asleep instantly, feeling safe.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"You guys want some blankets, then? We'll have to sort out room in the car tomorrow." He chuckled.


"That'd be wonderful, Greg. Thank you." Jacob smiled, Greg liked Jacob - he was a lot more polite and happy, and that was a nice thing to be around in this world. He walked to the trunk and got them a blanket each and tossed it to them. Phillip instantly took his and lied down with a grumble, but Jacob nodded a thanks alongside a smile before lying down himself, using his backpack as a pillow.


Greg went back around to the driver's seat and climbed in and covered himself over, he also fell asleep after a few minutes.

 

[Elwin]

Luna stirred, slightly. Her neck was cramped and she felt rudely awakened by the need to use the bathroom. "Oh christ.." she grumbled, stretching a little. Her body ached allover from her position. Luna opened the door of the car, trying to be quiet. She didn't really know how she could open the garage door without making noise, but she was desperate. Luna managed to open it, squeaking it a little. Every squeak made her flinch. The night was still dark, but she felt morning coming.


After Luna did her business she stood around the side of the garage and sat on the floor, taking in the fresh air. She gave herself time to think in the silence, closing her eyes.

 

[DrTrollinski]

While she was enjoying the peace, Clayton was shuffling and squirming due to a nightmare he was experiencing. It was horrible, he saw the two little girls from earlier, both standing at his window and staring in at him. He jolted awake with a gasp and looked out of the two windows at his side. Nothing. He was sweating, though. He wasn't going to be getting back to sleep just yet.

 

[Elwin]

Luna walked back to the garage feeling fresh from her own company. She got inside it and closed up the door nice and tight. Before Luna got back in the car, she noticed Clayton was awake. He was pale and looked like he had been having night terrors. Luna didn't say anything but simply squeezed in the back beside him. She was tired but didn't want him to feel alone. "Try sleep, soldier." she whispered, as she grabbed her blanket and wrapped it round them both. It was a tight squeeze, Jackson, the dog, Clayton and Luna. But luckily she had a small frame so it worked. Luna put her arms around the pre-teen and covered his face into her chest. She fell asleep quite suddenly, in this position she felt more comfortable.

 

[DrTrollinski]

She wasn't the only one, one his head was rested in her chest he felt safe from whatever dangers were on there. He hugged her tight and shut his eyes, taking a shaky sigh as he world slowly drifted away from him again. He fell asleep easily within another few minutes.


((Last post. goodnight!))

 

[Elwin]

It was approximately seven o'clock when the sun fully rose above the clouds. The day was a shimmering warm day with dew sparkling on the ends of grass. Unfortunately, the garage was day and only glimpses of sun flickered through the gaps where Luna hadn't managed to fully shut the door early that day. She awoke in a crooked mess, still holding Clayton, but extremely cramped. Her face was muzzled in his soft youthful hair which tickled her eyes.


"Oh man.." Her voice was a stretched murmur as her eyelid's freed themselves. Luna remembered the new men that came that night and looked out of the car window to make sure they were still there. Both men were slouched against the walls of the garage, the darker haired one much more significantly slouched than the other. It was an uncomfortable morning.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jackson was already awake with her, but no one else was. Greg, Clay, and the two knew guys were all sleeping soundly. Jackson reached over and gently poked Luna's arm.


".. Luna--.. I gotta' use the bathroom." He whispered. He looked out of the window at the two new people and frowned for a moment. They both looked near enough middle-aged, but one had a bow, which made him crack a half smile. It quickly faded, though. He looked back to her and took a deep breath. ".. Can you come outside with me? I don't wanna' go out there alone." He said. "And who are those guys?" He asked as he nodded backwards.

 

[Elwin]

Luna smiled slightly as she still felt more or less asleep and stretched her arms. "Of course, Jackson." She yawned and opened her door. Luna stumbled out of the car, pushing stray hairs from her mouth and walked to Jackson's side, opening the door for him. Once he had managed to get himself out, she opened the garage door which squeaked as usual and walk out directly into the sunlight. "Jeez..it is warm today" She spoke passively and waited for the little boy to make his way out. They walked to the gas station close by.


"There should be a toilet in here."

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Yeah, should be." He said as he rubbed the tiredness out of his eyes and squinted as the sun beat down on his face. He walked into the gas station with her and then went to the bathroom at the back. Locked. Hm. He walked over and went behind the counter and dug around for a key there - he eventually found one and then went to the door and unlocked it. ".. Thanks... I'll be out in a minute." He said, walking inside and shutting the door behind him.


He was in there for just over a minute while he did what he needed to and washed his hands. Once he was done, he came back out and looked up at Luna, smiling softly. ".. Thanks for comin' with me. Do you know who those new guys are?" He asked as he hopped backwards onto the counter top and sat on it.

 

[Elwin]

Luna sat next to him and beamed back, wiping some sleep from her eyes. "They are some travelers, they are going to be joining us for a while. One of them, Jacob, has a bow that he'd like to show you." Luna jumped back of the side and offered Jackson here hand. "Come on, lets get back." Luna and Jackson left the gas station munching on some candy they had found. Luna motioned Jackson to drop his candy wrappers when they got to the door. "Don't tell your Dad I let you have candy for breakfast" She smirked, wiping a smear of chocolate from the side of his mouth. The pair walked back into the quiet garage.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"A bow? That's awesome." He grinned, but was even happier when he got to eat some candy. That was even better. ".. I won't. Thanks." He smiled at her as he walked back inside and then looked over the two men again - Jacob looked alright, and he looked generally friendly on appearance, but the other man, whom of which he didn't know the name of, looked quite rough and hardened on first glance. He looked back up at Luna and raised one eyebrow. ".. I know who Jacob is, but who's the other guy?" He asked.

 

[Elwin]

"Oh.." Luna scowled at him. She didn't like the man she had met last night and hoped it was just a one off mood. "He is Phillip. We didn't speak to him as much." She whispered to Jackson, patting his back as she spoke. She sat down against the wall and watched them both sleep. "Hopefully everyone will be up soon though and you can get to know Jacob's bow." She said with a smile. Luna pulled a granola bar and some water from her back. She passed the water and half the bar to Jackson, despite it not exactly being the most exciting thing to eat.

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Thanks." He said, taking the granola bar and biting into it. He sipped some of the water and gulped it down with the food he was chewing. He was looking forward to meeting this Jacob guy, although he wasn't really sure on this Phillip character. From the way Luna looked at him, he'd already gathered that he probably wasn't a very nice guy at all. ".. Have you ever been to Georgia?" He asked. ".. I only went there once when I was four, and I threw up in the car on the way." He whispered shyly, but gave a quiet laugh alongside that.


(You can introduce your characters whenever you like)

 

[Elwin]

Luna smiled, but didn't laugh. "No, I haven't. But I'm sure we will be okay there. I used to get travel sickness all the time when I was a little girl." She said soothingly. "Once, I was sick allover my old dog who was in the car. He didn't mind one bit..he just shook it off. It was so gross though." She laughed at this, taking a bite of the granola bar. It was bland and taste like cardboard in her mouth. Every day made her nervous but she didn't ever want to show it.


(Just waiting for the right moment. c: )

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Yeah..." He laughed a little. ".. I'm glad we have a dog now. I always wanted one, but we couldn't get one because of--.." He stopped. ".. Y'know." He said, sighing a little as he drank down a little bit of the water; he looked towards the car and saw that Clayton was in the process of stepping out. Once he did step out, he greeted both Jackson and Luna with a nod.


".. Hey, guys.." He said. ".. I see we've got some new people with us." He said, a little uncomfortably.

 

[Elwin]

Luna remained sat on the ground and smiled at Clayton. "Morning dude," She pulled out a ration pack of bacon and egg and reached towards him, passing it. "Yeah, the guy with the bow is Jacob. And the dark haired guy, he is Phillip." Luna glanced at them again. Even by the way they slept, their characters were obvious. Luna swore Jacob smiled slightly as he slept. "They are going to be joining us for a while. Which is good, because more protection means we are even safer." Luna finished the bland bar and took a sip of water from the bottle Jackson held.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He took the ration pack and opened it up, forking some into his mouth with his hand before sitting down opposite them and leaning back against the car. ".. Fair enough..." He smiled softly and shrugged. Speaking of one of the devils, Jacob wandered over after waking up and smiled at them all - he had a can of food in his hand, as well as a bottle of water.


"Good morning, everyone." He looked between the two kids. ".. Who have we got here, then?" He smiled.

 

[Elwin]

Luna sat back and waited for the boys to reply to Jacob. She wanted them to get along with someone so that she could have a little hand at keeping them happy during the day when they traveled. She rested her head against the wall, breathing in heavily. A headache had come on and Luna wasn't sure why. Her injuries were almost healed so it must have been random. Luna placed a hand on her head, feeling a sweat. It hurt a lot, so she laid down on the ground and rested her head on her bag.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jackson decided that he'd speak out first. With a shy smile he looked up at him. ".. I'm Jackson." He said, Jacob smiled at him and then looked down at Clay - Clay locked eyes with him for a moment and forced a smile.


".. Clayton." He said simply, warily holding out a hand. Jacob smiled and shook it, and then turned to Jackson.


"So we've got Clayton," He said after shaking his hand. He reached forward and gently ruffled Jackson's hair. ".. And Jackson." He chuckled a little, and Jackson also gave a quiet little laugh as his hair was messed with. This guy seemed nice. Jacob sat down beside Clay and opened up his can of food and began eating.


Clayton was too busy looking at Luna to focus on anyone else. She took a very random change there. ".. You okay, Luna...?" He asked.

 

[Elwin]

"Yeah, Clay. Just a headache." She mumbled, turning over. She had such a warm head and it hurt to move. "I'll be fine soon." Luna tried to think of where the headache came from. She did have a few bruises from tumbling down the hill the day before so it was probably that. She didn't want to be a downer on anyone, but she couldn't be bothered to chat with the people awake. Luna closed her eyes and hoped that her head would stop hurting soon, so she didn't vomit.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Clay looked at her for a moment and then stood up, walking to the driver's side of the car and reaching in. He shook Greg's arm until he woke up - Greg instantly looked at him, a little surprised, but still looked at him all the same.


".. Everything alright, son...?" He asked in a whisper as he looked down at his watch.


".. Dad--.. Luna's head hurts." He said, Greg sighed and slowly stepped out of the car. He nodded at Jacob and then looked down at Luna for a moment. She had her eyes closed and looked as if she was in pain. The first thing that sprung to Brad's mind was infection. She left it for quite a while before he treated her cut, and hers was probably a lot worse than his own - the highest chance of it being anything was that it got infected, but he'd need more to go on before he made an assumption.


He slowly went over and crouched down in front of her where she was laying. ".. Luna--.." He called quietly. ".. You feeling alright? Clay just told me your head's hurting." He said.

 

[Elwin]

(You said Brad again c


Luna groaned a little. "Oh yeah, no I'm fine. I think its a migraine that is all." She didn't want anyone to fuss over her, because it would slow them down. She wanted to be the one who made sure everyone else felt okay. "Forget it though, I'll be fine if I can just not move to much for a while." She wiped some sweat from her forehead and laid on her back. The pain felt awful but it didn't worsen as long as she was sipping water. Luna felt bad for wasting so much water on her head and hesitated to drink more. "We..We should get going soon. I want to keep going.." She mumbled quietly with her eyes close. Her face was washed out, paler than usual.

 

[DrTrollinski]

(Damn it. I'm sorry xD )


".. No, no. You're going to let me take a look at you." He put his hand gently on her forehead and noticed that she was sweating quite a lot. Okay, this wasn't good. ".. You're breaking out into a fever and you're getting to be a bit lethargic. That ain't good, so hold still." He said as he reached up to the adhesive medical patch that was covering her sutured wound and then gently began to peel it off, looking for any signs of infection. (Tell me if it's infected or not )
