[ highway ; early morning ; open ]

[ As far as awakenings go, this one is definitely ranks up there for most unpleasant. If the sound of trucks rumbling by weren't enough, the dull pain from the previous day has turned intense. She's quiet, temporarily uninterested by investigation by looking for somewhere to hind, finding a little hole in some

evening

[miraculls]

[Two full days without any sopor whatsoever has filled him with an unusual amount of energy and alertness, too much to simply remain passively waiting in a shelter without knowing where his friends are and whether they're safe. More importantly, it's also given him a tremendous headache, and he's managed to get himself quite lost looking for them.

The throbbing gets pushed aside though when he sees Jade and rushes over to her.]

Hivesis! Fuck, I'm glad you're okay. We gotta get our abscond on outta here.

[frogst]

Gamzee! [ It's a shouted whisper, and she is so, so relieved to see him. She knows she shouldn't have separated from him in the first place, but it's too late for that now. She struggles to her feet, practically collapsing against him as she throws her arms around him. ] Are you okay?

[miraculls]

[He hugs back tightly, running a hand down her back for reassurance and also to check for injuries.] Motherfuckin' wicked, chica. You?

[frogst]

[ She sneaks in a kiss or two once she's sure she's not going to fall over, but frowns at his question. ]

Not so good.

[ There's no point in lying now, and she wonders if she hadn't maybe she wouldn't be in such a sorry state right now. ]

My legs are a mess.

[Nearby her hiding place, Finn is locked in battle with one of the monsters, using a long stake to block himself momentarily. He kicks it in the gut and punches it in the face, knocking it over.]

Haha! You're not as tough as you look!

[While gloating, the monster grabs him by the leg and pulls it out from underneath him, causing him to smack down onto his back. He yelps as it bites onto his leg, gnawing on it. He uses his stake to stab it in the chest and it lets go of his leg to scream. It then falls over, bleeding to death. He flops onto his back and pants a little, tired from fighting.]

[ Jade hears the commotion, leaning out from her spot to watch. ]

Finn- [ She has to clamp a hand over her mouth to keep from drawing attention her way, waiting until the thing is dead before trying to get his attention. ] Finn, over here.

[notwrongteous]

Jade!

[He flips over and crawls over, wincing a little as dirt gets into the bite on his leg.]

Oh man, I'm glad you're alive!

[He stops right in front of the hiding spot.]

Are you okay?

[frogst]

[ She's quick to readjust her pant legs as he approaches. ]

I'm okay enough. What was that thing?

A

[godisachild]

[Goddammit. What are you still doing out here Jade. Pokey isn't going to lie: he's kind of annoyed. Worried, but annoyed. He told you. He told you. He so frickin' told you.

Once he gets a good chase, he's running over to you.]

Jade? What are you still doing here?

[frogst]

Pokey- [ She looks alarmed, definitely not wanting him to see the state her legs are in. ]

I just, um, [ She tries to come up with an excuse as to why she's still here other than 'it hurt too much to walk'. ] I don't, know...

[godisachild]

[He doesn't notice, not yet, and just shakes his head wildly for a moment. Hurry up Jade.]

You just what? We've got to go, now.

[frogst]

Alright, jeez, give me a second will you?

[ She doesn't move however, tries to wait until he's looking at something, anything, else before trying to get to her feet. ]
