Realistic or Modern The Beginning of the End

Tom looked at Eric, "Whats your deal?" Tom frowned a little, "Why are you acting all mopey?" He opened the refrigerator and grabbed a yougurt and started to eat it. "I figured you'd be way more happy and excited since you're going out tonight."
 
(GRWJHNIHWRNWRJHRWHRWERNTERNHSFX GUYS. Remember the five-ten minute rule, eh...? I'm getting left behind here and I need to keep editing my posts...)


"Nothing." Eric replied, shrugging and looking down at the table. He started slowly twiddling his thumbs in front of him. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton

(Holy Christ. That was a bit abrupt on Jenna's side, wasn't it?)


Carl got up and followed her out, but he held her hand to walk downstairs. When he got into the kitchen he smiled at Scarlet and Tom, and then went and hugged them both. ".. Hiiiii..." He said softly. He'd been cleaned, it seemed. He wasn't in his PJ's and he looked as though he'd been bathed. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)
 
"Hey Bud." Tom rustled Carl's hair and looked at Eric, "Do you need to talk or something? We can go in the garage for a few minutes. You know Im always available to talk Eric." He frowned a little, then looked at Jenna for a moment, nodding to her, before he looked back at Eric, hoping the boy would open up to him.
 
(Whoops... And welp...)


Jenna walks down and over to Eric's side. "Hey." She said while sitting next to him. "You alright...?" She said while lightly taking his hand.


Scarlet hugs Carl back. "Hey bud, seems like someone finally got ready today." She said and smiled a bit while ruffling his hair. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)
 
(Don't worry about it. I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood tonight. Again. I'm not sure why, but it's just making me edgy - one of those moments.)


He shrugged. "Yeah, I'm fine..." He gave a gentle sigh as he squeezed her hand - his head remained bowed, though. He didn't take his eyes away from the table - he wasn't quite sure what he was experiencing. It was a strange feeling.

"Uh-huh! I didn't get ready myself, though. I got Eric and Jenna to give me a bath and stuff, and I got Eric to help me wash my hair 'cause I'm not good at that." He said happily, looking up at her. Eric didn't bat an eye at Carl - he didn't have anything against him, he was just feeling numb about everything at the minute. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

Jenna kisses his cheek lightly while holding his hand and squeezing it gently. "Alright..." she said while rubbing the back of his hand gently.


Scarlet smiles a bit. "That's good to hear." she said while looking at Carl then at Eric and raising a brow at him. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)
 
Tom watched the two teens then got up and walked toward the garage, "I'll be working on the car if you need anything Scarlet." He frowned a little as he walked into the garage and started to get to work.
 
Eric thought to himself for a few moments and then slowly rose up, squeezing Jenna's hand. He looked at her and then at Scarlet, and then finally at Carl. ".. Give me a second." He said softly - he walked off towards the garage and stepped in through the door, closing it right behind him. ".. Dad--.. I've been thinking. You and Scarlet and Carl are going to be here tonight--.. Watching a movie, or whatever it is you planned... If that was the case, and you went out shopping for tonight..." He sat down on the step and sighed. ".. Why didn't you take Carl with you? He would have wanted a say in what movie you got, and all that..." He said. He was curious, but he didn't seem aggressive. (@Soul OMU)
 
Scarlet looks down at the young boy. "No, they probably are just going to talk, man to man. You'll get to join them soon enough darling." she said while ruffling his hair. Jenna smiles a bit before watching him go. "Alright.." she said while getting up and stretching a bit. (@DrTrollinski)
 
DrTrollinski said:
"Of course... I killed one of them." He said calmly. That was the one thing that Brad hadn't told her - he never found the time. ".. They're almost like dogs, but they look humanoid, you get me?" He explained. ".. You need to aim for the right place in the head. Straight in the center, right between the eyes... If you don't do that, you're not killing it. Ain't got no heart, either, but that's not our main concern." He said as he turned around and walked over to the bed to sit at the foot of it - Brad had lost weight, but his muscle and motivational strength was still there. ".. There's other people in the forest. I don't know how, they just--.. They came here about a month ago." He said. ".. I was thinking about going down and checkin' them out, seein' if they're friendly or not. If they look shady, I'll come straight back." He sighed and lied down on the bed, yawning.

"Because I wanted some alone time with Scarlet, thats all pal." Tom stood and looked at Eric, "I already have the movie, I just went to get popcorn and a couple of other things, nothing too serious. I figured you wouldn't mind watching after your little brother while I got to know Scarlet a little better." Tom frowned a little. He spoke softly.
 
Eric said nothing. ".. Then why didn't you just tell me that?" He looked more offended than anything else. "Yeah, I don't mind watching my little brother for a while, but there's a difference... You told me that you and her were going out shopping to get stuff for tonight, and some police radios. You come back, and there's no radios - That rang alarm bells for me, to be honest..." He bowed his head and sighed. ".. Dad--.. The whole reason I was so stressed during the month was because I was trying to make things work. I had to tell Carl not to keep asking Scarlet to move in with us, because she doesn't like that, and I know she doesn't - it's the whole reason why I tried to stop you from dropping the whole family scene on her as well... I just..." He sighed again and rubbed his face with both hands.


".. Over the month, we spent almost every morning together. All of us. We went and ate breakfast together, went to the park most days - You got to spend time with Scarlet, and I with Jenna. Carl got the benefit of it because we were all together, and there was that sense of normality right there. I was happy, you was happy... You got to know her over that month, dad... She opened up again after that incident, because I made sure that she didn't feel pressured by everything. It's not that I don't want her to move in with us, I'd love that, it's just that--.." He gulped strongly and blinked heavily - he took a long and shaky deep breath before speaking again. ".. I don't want a repeat of what happened last month... I know for a fact how much you like her, and you know how much I like Jenna--.. I just... You help me out with it as much as you can, and over the past month... It was nice to spend time together, you know? And when I got Carl off her back because he was pushing the whole 'mommy' thing on her a lot, apparently she appreciated it, and she was a lot happier to move at a speed where she had the chance to make a decision. Yeah, I was worried about you, because I was worried that you'd take my efforts the wrong way..." He slowly stood up and leaned against the wall. He quickly wiped his eyes and looked up at him. ".. I didn't want you to think that I was trying to keep you away from her. I liked sitting down and having a beer with you on the couch, dad... It let me see how things were changing, and to see you and everyone else being happier meant the world to me..."


He quickly wiped his eyes again. 'Don't cry. Don't cry.' He thought to himself. ".. Today, when you went out... I was fine with that, you know? Sure, I didn't really want to look after Carl because I had more stuff to do to get ready for tonight, it's just--.. When it comes to the point where me and Jenna have to bathe Carl and wash him when we're trying to get ready for something big, or just trying to sit down and have a chat with each other without him climbing all over us, it just gets to be too much, you know? I suspected it was something to do with you wanting to be alone with Scarlet, but it's the fact that you didn't tell me that that annoyed me more. I'm not a kid, I know that sometimes I act like I am, but... I told you you could tell me stuff - If you wanted to spend time with her, I'd have appreciated it if you said that... I had stuff to plan as well, dad... There's nothing I want more than for you to be happy and with Scarlet, and for Carl to have a stable life, but... I need time to do stuff that matters to me, as well..." He nodded slowly and looked down at the ground.


".. I'm sorry... I'm not trying to be a dick, but I think I've done a bad job of that so far." He took a deep breath again. (@Soul OMU)
 
Scarlet smiles a bit and picks him up. "Uh huh... I'm sure you are Mister Man." she said as she put her hands under his armpits and picked him up and put him on the counter. "Anyways I'm making dinner tonight." she said while smiling a bit. Jenna sitting at the table, thinking as she resting her chin on her hand lightly. (@DrTrollinski)
 
He smiled. ".. What are you gonna' make for dinner? I wanna' have somethin' nice that's... that tastes good." He said simply, watching her every move. "Seein' as we're gonna' be stayin' here while Eric and Jenna go out, does that mean you're gonna' have a sleepover with us? We can stay up late and it'll be awesome." He grinned. (@Soul OMU)
 
"Thank you much." he said neutrally. Everyone else trusted James, but Connor was still on the fence. James had done his share of everything, so he didn't have a reason to not trust him. But then again, he didn't know this James very well. Daniel and the few others from the colony he had a clue about what went on inside their heads. Anyway, he got to work making a soul with the blood and the cooked bits he chopped up from the rabbit.

Delaney shuddered at the very thought of it, she couldn't stand the beasts; they were absolutely horrifying. She didn't want to raise a child along things such as that, but she hadn't much a choice at this point. Painfully, she could only nod her head and look away. "You killed one of them!" She exclaimed, voice jumping as she turned to look at him with a frightening bite to her tone. She pushed herself from the mattress, "Brad you could've gotten yourself hurt, or worse- Killed." She warned, henpecking at him as she got up and came closer to him; jabbing her offending finger at his chest. "What would I have done then? Huh? If you just hadn't come home, and I would have to go look for your sorry corpse and might not have survived till the morn-" Her Kansas twang came out with a fury that was unlike any other, her hands firmly placed on her hips and her face twisted in a concerned sneer. "Don't you ever!-" She started again, getting fired up only to die down quickly with a pout. "Sorry, Brad... It's just..." She shook her head again, huffing as she began to walk from the room; leaving the situation before she got any more irrational with him.


@DrTrollinski
 
"Hey--.." He reached out and took hold of her arm before she could walk away. ".. I went out during the evenin', and one came at me - I shot the thing a few times. They can't cut through trees, alright?" He smiled weakly and then hugged her. ".. You ain't gonna' be left alone. I promise - I can't die, remember?" He kissed her forehead and then held her close for a moment, sighing. ".. So. Like I said, there's people stayin' just down into the forest. I've figured out that those creatures don't come out until night, so I'd be safe to go down there and scout it out to see if they're decent people or not. What do you say?" He asked. (@Soul OMU - You here?)

(@Soul OMU - We won't go too far ahead of time for Eric and Tom's RP to be invalid, don't worry.)
