It's just us, now.

Days into the Apocalypse : 13

A week after the first sighting of the circus group, they appeared again just as they had before. They walked past the apartment, making noise and, for the most part, laughing in enjoyment as they drew in zombies.

"Jesus..."Dick groaned, as him and the rest of the D-Gang gathered back down at Uni's apartment when they heard the group making noise in the street, "Are these freaks actually gonna keep doing this?"

"COME ONE COME ALL!"Melody shouted, her voice carrying through the streets and up to the apartment. She continued, "COME TO OUR BIGGEST SHOW WE'VE HAD AT OUR BIGTOP TENT IN HARD-LANDING PARK! WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME COMPANY, BOTH OF THE LIVING AND THE UNDEAD!"

"Woah, woah, woah."Ashlie says, they're attention being caught by her wording, "Does that mean they're gonna actively draw in zombies to their base?"

"ENTREE IS FOR FREE, AND FOR OUR ABSOLUTELY SPECIAL GUEST, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU ARE INVITED TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS IN A SAFE SHELTER WITH YOUR FAMILY!"Melody continued loudly. She continued to shout her message, though with some variation of words, down the streets as the others occasionally chimed in. Soon, their voices went unheard as they continued down the street.

"So they're totally doing something shady, and based on the word 'family', I'm gonna say cultish, too."Davis decided, everyone seemed to agree, "And they're gonna use zombies for, what, a circus act? Why would they want them hanging around their circus?"

Jon wouldn't put it past them to use the undead as a defense.

"Should we go then, to Hard-Landing Park, for their, uh,  show?"Dashlie questioned, "If they're inviting people, they probably won't try to kill us on sight."

Jon had his doubts about that, but he kept quiet. Uni spoke, "There is another issue we need to talk about. Supplies. We should go out and get some more food and water, it would be best for us to stock up."

Uni's speech was getting better as he adjusted more and more to his teeth, and he was slowly getting more comfortable with the fur he was growing. Duni seemed used to it by now, as most of his body was fur at this point, but his ears had begun to change shape overnight and they all unanimously agreed to speak more softly due to how sensitive his hearing was beginning to become.

"We could go in groups again, like at the mall."Ashlie suggested, "We'll split up into groups and make our way through town."

"I'd say getting gardening tools and supplies would be helpful."Nick chimed in, "The roof seems like a good place to put up a garden, and who knows when we'll have to sustain ourselves."

"Good idea."Dawn nodded, "It would actually be nice if when we go out for supplies we could get mechanical parts as well. Ddawn and I may be invulnerable to zombie bites, but we could still get damaged, and that wouldn't be good."

"So we'll have a group for food and water, another for gardening, and another for machine parts."Uni listed off, "I'm rubbish at gardening, but I've done mechanical work on Dawn, so I'd know what to look for. Duni would too, as he is a mechanic."

"I gardened a lot."Nick says, "Ask Jon, our apartment had a lot of plants just about everywhere."

"Dick and I will go with them."Don decided, Dick modding in agreement as it seemed to be an unspoken rule that those two would always travel together, "We don't know shit about mechanics and with food all we'll get is junk."
