Egon eats his sandwich quickly. It was yummy. Salad and breadcrumbs were spilling everywhere. He slurps his coffee loud enough for all the humans to begin to stare at him. Coffee was yummy too. Coconut was sitting next to him. She didn't want anything from the café.
"So, Snowfall. Tell me what happened?" He asks, while he is putting his half empty coffee cup on his plate, making a satisfying clink.
"What...do you mean?" Snowfall asks slowly. Egon leans in. "I want to know everything that's happened in the past 17 years after the bomb," he says.
Don't ask me why I don't know. Don't ask me why I don't know.To his relief, Snowfall just nods. "Well, first off, about 6000 survived after the bomb. Humans freaked a bit out when we came and began shooting. Over the span of the first 5 years 2000 have died." Snowfall stops, sighing and poking at a loose part of the tablecloth.
"How fun!!" Coconut barks loudly. But even so, Snowfall and the humans ignored her. Egon shoots Coconut a questionable look and she just shrugs. Snowfall stares at him.
Egon quickly looks back at Snowfall. "And then?"
Snowfall inhales. "Then a patrol of 700 walked into a mine field. Then another 300 just died of natural causes. And now we are around 3000 left, alright?"
"KILL THE REST!" Coconut screams into Egon's ear, loud enough to make his ears ring he flinches, and everyone turn around. Every human there stares at them. Snowfall glares at the humans and they look away. Some are leaving in a hurry. Coconut yells something after them.Egon sips the rest of his coffee. "COFFEE IS FOR THE WEEEAKKKKKKKKK," Coconut howls. Making Egon's ears ring again. Snowfall gives no reaction at all. Egon gets mad and growls at him. Snowfall's head shoots up; "yes, sir?"
Egon sighs. "So...What have you done as a second in command throughout the years?"
"W-well," Snowfall stutters. "I have organized patrols and meetings and I've looked after the food supply here." Egon nods."So where do we live? Only here or.. ?" Egon asks.
Snowfall explains that there are 4 small underground cities around the world. Drawing out a map in the air with a finger. "Those in charge...under you of course are, Chestnut, Hummingbird, Berry and Elk." Egon nods
Should probably get in touch with them soon.
"There are also schools...and military training."
Egon nods and stands up. "I will speak with the others," he says and leaves.
