Getting more personal


Starting major memory playback with: Memory of certain day


[After dismantling the camp, escaping from a bear, and collecting heaps of game meat, they return to the main camp, breathing heavily due to adrenaline rush.]

[For now, Mephisto and Faust are at the backseat, sleeping in each other's shoulders, very adorably. Hosea rides shotgun, and Gordon...drives. He dragged his feet on the grass before he stomps on the pedals, because he did stepped on deer shit.]

[The ride was awkward and uneventful, it was quiet too because they don't want to disturb the kids, who are sleeping. Hosea left his diary in his personal chest, but he may not write for now, on accounts of his hand twitching like crazy due to adrenaline.]

[Hosea and Gordon just shared a few glances, smiles, and chuckles, and that's it. To substitute for the silence.]

[Eventually, they made it back to camp. Pass the gun range, which is now emptied of people. They make it back before dinner time started, but perhaps dinner will happen pretty much later due to how they need to dry the meat, before frying it, and turning it into stew.]

[Gordon parked his car at the side of the road, where the watchers came and assist them hauling ass. Crownslayer is among these watchers, still wearing her motorcycle helmet, and scarf mask.]

*Gordon puts down the windows, and Lyudmila leans in to talk.*

Crownslayer: "What's cookin, good lookin'?"

Gordon: "Some venison, Madison."

Crownslayer: "I'm Lyudmila."

Gordon: "I know that, Lyud. You won't believe what we just went through."

Hosea: "You guys can taste actual solid food this time, we got a whole lot."

Crownslayer: "I sure hope so! Alright! Get these guys outta here!"

Mephisto: *He wakes up.* "Huh? What?"

Hosea: "Hey, kid, we're here."

Faust: "Ugh, all this rest is making me tired..."

Mephisto: "That...was awesome, isn't it?"

Gordon: "You were awesome, kid."

Hosea: "True that."

*Mephisto giggles as both he and Faust open their car door side. They helped disembark the heavy cargo, and the watchers were surprised to feel the bag being very heavy.*

Skullshatterer: "What's in this thing? Boulders?" *He says, sarcastically, but he's glad to know it's heavy.*

Crownslayer: "You brought Mephisto with you? I do hope he wasn't very much trouble to you guys."

Hosea: "Nah...we have a cool story to share about him. Ain't that right, Gordon?"

Gordon: "Hell yeah... Kid was a badass."

[Several of the survivors haul the heavy cargo back to the cookhouse, where the camp cooks were shocked to know they carried plenty of it. Especially fresh picked berries. Mephisto and Faust quickly made their way back to their tent to rest up even more as Gordon and Hosea contributed distributing the meat; either bird, deer, or rabbit, on the drying racks to be cooked and served.]

[Instead of Talulah checking in, Sheriff Will, and Sergeant Mccain came. Arriving outside of the cookhouse.]

Will: "Holy cow, you boys managed to haul this much?"
