Chapter 14: A Moment of Relaxation
~Day 1~
May 5th, 2018
Time: Late-Afternoon
Kyle pulls out the magazine.
"Sure do! Found it up at the university."
"Yah, and we where wondering if you have any spare .40 rounds."
Kyle and Charles offer up the magazine they had acquired at the university. Charlie takes the magazine, flips through the pages. He pulls out the centerfold, concentrating as if he were a professional art critic looking at a museum exhibit. He closes the magazine, "3 .40 Clips for this. Do we have a deal?"
Jason finds his way towards Charlie. Before he can join up with Kyle and Charles, Charlie, without hesitation or even turning his head, draws a six-shooter from his pocket and discharges it, a bullet hitting the road about a foot in front of him. Jason instinctively stops running. Charlie looks at him and then back at his trading partners, who don't seem very pleased. "Oh sorry, is he with you?"
FOOD
"Well, ya need anything?"
Let the hungry people eat.
If no one needs anything else then Joe goes to pay his respects to old William then relaxes for a while.
Eats!
Feast. While keeping in mind rationing, of course. Enjoy what I can have.
Clean it up then get something to eat and drink.
Alejandro, John, and Majikthise, all nearly delirious from malnutrition and dehydration, (in actuality, they have closer to mild headaches but it sure feels worse,) dig into the wonderful rations of the Supply Cooler. Bread, fruits, water, all heartily consumed. Thank goodness for canned food.
[-3 FS/WS, Group Needs Sated] After Big Joe distributes the food, he heads over to Old Will's grave, not much more than a pile of rocks and a marking in the ground, but he was there for the group in the beginning, helping until his old heart gave out. After paying off his respects in silence, Joe props himself up against a nearby tree to get some well-timed rest.
Decado doesn't rest, he's busy at work cleaning out his GPS. He brushes all the dust and dirt away with his sleeve, and then blows out the interior. It's a simple way of doing things, but it's the best he can do without proper cleaning tools.
