Gavin looks at Alison and wants to find a way for himself to be forgiven. "I'm sorry. More sorry then I ever think you'll know, but I had just seen three dead bodies I was out of my mind. I'll do whatever you guys think is best

[Magus00]

Mike feels a twinge of sympathy for the young man but ultimately agrees with Allison.

"Listen, I'm all for lettin' Bygones be and all that s**t, but in case you snap again, I think it is in our best interest to keep you unarmed. You know, to help keep the friendly fire to a minimum." He flashes a smile despite his unease.

Looking at Allison, "So. Back to squad, like you say. Think those other civi's got there alright?" he asks as he motions for the asthmatic and the until-recently insane gun wielding youth to follow.

((OOG: Oh hot dayum lemme catch up here.))

Faye accepts the inhaler from Gavin, and stutters a bit before finally saying, "Sorry about that...scare...I was searching for my inhaler. Bad asthma, you know?" She laughs nervously and tries to grin, but it's not too convincing. Turning, she begins trotting after the man, whom she thinks is named Mike, and the woman, who he had called Allison, ending up next to Gavin.

Fay takes a puff of her inhaler as she walks, which calms her frenzied panting. She glances at her three companions, then adds "I'm Faye, by the way. So....I'm thinking from that last conversation all of you seem to know what's going on here? I left for college last year, and I just came back to check on my brother...and kinda found the town abandoned. Is there some sort of serial killer, or a health threat...or what?"

Mia led the way downstairs and into the TV room, listening closely the whole time for more laughter. They got to the room and Mia closed the door behind them.

"Should I lock it or something? Would that even help?" she asked. She had barely finished the sentence when more laughter, louder this time, came from the other side of the wall.
"Jesus christ!" she whispered harshly. She didn't wait for an answer about the door and locked it anyway, instantly backing away from it and gripping the pipe she had found.

((Hey...where is Slenderman right now? I have no idea what's on the other side of the door...))

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin stops in his tracks. Tears a swelling in his eyes but this time he keeps his composure. "Faye what we're dealing with is a monster. He can tear bodies apart limb from limb with ease. He comes off like any human. Above six feet, but wearing a suit. However I assure you he is a monster. If we don't get out this forest we're going to die at his hands slow and painfully.

[raelyn]

Faye nearly runs into Gavin as he stops suddenly. With alarm, she realizes his eyes are full of tears. Her alarm quickly changes to horror, dread, and worry.

A monster? Ripping people limb from limb? Maybe he's wrong, maybe's he's lost it. He did say something about seeing dead bodies. Faye's instincts tell her he's not lying, though. This fog is too foreboding, and the forest is far too silent. No sound besides their breathing and footsteps.

Faye's eyes widen slightly, and she realizes she recognizes Gavin. He had gone to her school, but he'd been in a class a few years younger than her own. Feeling sympathy for him, Faye cautiously reaches out to touch his shoulder in what she hopes is a reassuring gesture, looking him in the eye through her bangs. "You gonna be okay? We should probably keep moving, if something's out here with the intent of killing us..."

I really, really hope Jake's okay...I hope that thing hasn't gotten him. He's the only person I've got left....Christ, this is horrible... Faye tries to quell the thought, but her mind is repeatedly drawn to an image of Jake, sprawled dead on the ground. She trembles slightly, an expression of worry fixed on her face, before turning away from Gavin to glance around them. "Wish this fog would go away, can't see anything..." she mutters.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

As Faye's hand left his shoulder Gavin feels less safe. He had felt fully safe, as if nothing in the world was wrong when her hand touched his shoulder. Suddenly he remembered her from school. School what a waste that had been. He looked at her without her noticing. While the others were slightly hostile she was gentle and kind. For the moment Gavin has forgotten of Isabel. His main goal is to safe these people. Especially Faye the person he hoped to be his friend

"Everybody keeps talking about monsters... I'm starting to believe it." She sighed. "Slender Men, bodies, kooks in masks... College tuition is not worth this crap."

Alison shone the beam up into the trees, and turned in a circle. "Where exactly are we, anyway?"

[Aerokinetic]

(Is everyone still in the forest? I was gonna type up a post but wanted to be sure.)

[GerkinMcGrimley]

((yeah everyone is still there))

[mrsertich]

No one answered. Must be empty like all the others. I have to get inside, though. I twist the knob nervously. He's coming. He wants to get me now. This is where he was leading me. The door opens quickly. I sprint inside and lock the doors all over the house. I find a room with a only one window and one door. The window is only big enough to look out to check for fog. Now I wait.

[raelyn]

Faye smiles reassuringly at Gavin, flicking her hair out of her eyes with a practiced movement, then turns to look at Alison. "There's kooks in masks, TOO?! Sounds like a little creepy party, doesn't it?"

Faye craned her head, looking around as well, then shrugged. "I know we're probably still close to the outskirts of town. I never really spent much time in the forest unless I was with Ja-.....my brother. So I don't really know my way around."

[Chief Poirot]

(OOC: Not sure where to go, really. Derman's in town, so should he hang there or try to reach the outskirts of town and the Overseer's Squad? I was thinking that maybe he could meet up with the two people trapped in a house inside the town? Would that be alright with you two?)

With no response from the radio, Derman continued to reach any of the S-Walkers, or other military units nearby.
"This is Albert Derman, S-Walker Unit. I am within the designated town and awaiting further movement orders. Please respond."
He continued his march deeper into town. His boots tapped off the concrete below and the sound resonated in the clouded air. Conscious of the sound, he lightened his steps. Too much sound could attract the enemy, although Derman knows damn well that it won't help much.
"I wonder how many people stayed behind in the town." He thought. "If there are any refugees nearby. I should have a squad with me. I was supposed to be part of reinforcements, not alone. But dammit, I had to be sent out late!"
"And why the Hell are the other units not answering!" His thought broke into voice and escaped into the air.
"Dammit, that was too loud." He muttered afterward. "I need to keep my composure. This is a simple mission, just like all the others."
A minute of silence passed before his memory brought itself to use.
"The original staging ground for our assault was an abandoned factory, located outside of town. I had to be the idiot that came in via an alternative route. I need to find the factory or meet up with a squad en route."

[Theycallmehsexypants]

"Crap..." Stephen said, in a whisper.

Please, please, PLEASE don't notice us... He thought.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin looked around. He had lived close to the forest and as a kid constintley played there. This fog was so thick though so he strained his eyes to see something he could identify besides his group, anything. Then he saw a tree he used to climb on. He thought for a while then realized where they were.

"I used to play here as a kid, my best guess is we're very close to the middle of the forest."

Right after that Gavin felt a large rush of pain in two places as he fell to his knees. His hand that had been stabbed and his head. He suffered from migraines and they effected his vision. Everything went blurry.

"Shit" he thought "As if the fog wasn't bad enough".

He vomited then thought he felt a hand on his shoulder. He smiled knowing someone gave a shit about him. He passed out.
