At first E-8 just drowned out the girl's, E-4, yelling since it brought up some amusement to him. He knew he was starting to annoy her. He knew as time went out he would continue to push her buttons and earn a place on her bad side, but hey, that anger would come in handy during fights and would better than having her cowering around in fear, so in a way he was doing her a favor, right? At least until she decided to knock him out anyway...
"My name is not you; it's E-8, and fine, FINE! Have it your way!" With a childish pout, that could not be seen on his face, he gave a huff and crossed his arms in childish anger. "What does it look like outside again, besides the corn? If there is sun I say we get back by sunset since nightfall would be too dangerous, plus it's not like we have any watches, unless these phones can tell time... Can they? Maybe someone staying back can give a signal for when they think it would be best for us to come back."

"Wait a minute," E-Two had been listening quietly, but the conversation had led to something he wasn't ok with, "how do we know you guys are going to come back? I'm sorry, but you're already discussing meeting on the road instead of back at the dayglo pink tent."
No one seemed to be considering a double cross, but he did not want to stay back if more than half of them were willing to go. He had been prepared to wait-- let someone else run around getting lost-- but the way things were shaping up, he didn't really feel safe with that option.
"I think either we all should go or none of us go; we don't know what sort of things we are going to find out there. I say, stay together, and search. Strength in numbers, and all that."

"You guys are talking out of your asses," ε XIII said. "What do we need to come back to the tent for? Look," he said. "What we do is, we go out there, find any poor suckers that are by themselves, stab them to death Roman Senator style...or beat them or whatever except for Bandaids over there, and try not to get into gang-fights with groups that outsize us."
He motioned with his thumb to E-Two.
"And Two's got a point, once we separate, just because we're wearing the same color doesn't mean everyone'll be friendly the next time we meet up."

E-Seven tilted his head at E-Two and E-Thirteen. His head tilted curiously nodding softly. He wasn't a fan of splitting up anyways; however, that seemed like what most of the group wanted to do. At least if you stayed together you didn't have to worry about meeting back up.
"Well... I'm in for whatever we're doing." He smiled though it couldn't be seen. He wasn't sure what else to say because there were many valid points to him and well at this point he was along for the ride.

ε V looked at one of the males who had spoken up the number on his helmet was ε II giving a bit of a nod he couldn't help but feeling a bit of an agreement. There was no reason for everyone not to leave the tent especially since it appeared to be a rather large target to anyone who came passing through. Eventually meeting else where would have been a better plan and if they were in at least three groups moving around in the corn fields they would scope and cover more land than just one larger group. A plus side is if the three groups stayed close but far enough apart if one ended in up in trouble another group could respond that was if they were willing to help.
Looking at the smaller shape who responded to him he questioned how she knew he had a set of nunchunks considering he put them away as soon as he saw them and why was she a medic? No that he didn't think they wouldn't need a medic and that being near one wasn't an extremely bad idea it was just the mere question of if she was anything like him he knew nothing about nunchunks other than the somewhat common idea that they were at least a useful weapon.
"Thanks errr ε III but I also think ε II has a point. I don't see the reason why would we need to come back here especially since its sitting duck for anyone who manages to get to a vantage point to this cornfield. If we make the deal of coming back there is a chance that someone else instead of us will be waiting."
He had a smirk on his own face though when he watching E-8 cross his arms in a bit of a huff at the girl who was apparently annoyed at him at least they had character.

Ten winced a bit at the way Thirteen described attacking anyone they found. She opened the tent's entrance again and stared outside, looking all around as everyone else discussed some kind of plan. Only thirteen of them could survive or they'd all die...what a twisted game this was. That had to be it. It just had to be a game. They weren't going to honestly die, right? Wait...what was that in the distance? She squinted and stepped partially out to get a better look, tilting her head a little. A...blue tent?
Thirteen and two both made good points. She looked around at her current comrades. "I think see another tent, guys." She told them all, pointing in the direction of the blue tent. It was a lot better than their highlighter pink tent, but the fact that it was there at all...
Thirteen of them were going to survive, and they had to make sure the other tent was not part of the thirteen, right?

"The whole worry about everyone leaving the tent is the fact that we might be too big of a target and that we would draw attention to ourselves, so if we do all leave we need a game plan on how we would do that."
Seeing some team mate fall was inevitable, but it wasn't in his plan to see it happen so early on. He may not really know these guys, but being a part of a team meant trust and protection over one another, so he at least wanted to keep up with that silent promise for as long as he could.
"Do we form smaller teams that leave at separate times, like one team leaves and the next leaves 5 minutes after, so do we all leave at once and split up when the time comes? After that do we stick close, or split up to scout different areas and meet up at an agreed point? Plus, what point would be the best to meet up at? Without a tent we don't have much protection from the elements, so we at least need something that would do us some good."
With a tilt of his head, E8 turned his attention to E10.
"Another tent? Are you sure about that?" He walked over to look past her.
"....Well I say we get out asses out of here before they spot us and decide to hit us before we have a chance to leave..."

ε III listened as people debated what they should do. She didn't particularly want her group to break apart, as then they'd be easier for other teams to pick them off. She agreed with ε II's point and it seemed others did too. "I agree with you, ε II. If we all go together, then even if we're attacked by another group, we'll have a higher survival rate."
And she realized she had just been called bandaids. Bandaids, really? Oh well, she didn't particularly care what they called her. As the untrained medic, she'd take what recognision she'd get. "ε XIII has a good point. We should move as a group, I suppose. We would be able to take others out as a pack, of sorts." She said, nodding her head.
The boy who had the nunchucks, ε V, responded in favor of ε II also. She gave him a nod too. "So, I suppose we should all move out together? That way, we can work as a team. If thirteen people can survive this game, I don't see why it shouldn't be us. If we stick together we can survive."
Looking between everyone, the girl with the bandages said, "So, are we just going to move as a group? Does anyone have any better ideas?" Then, one of the girls announced another tent in the distance. "A tent? Probably another rival team." ε III looked toward the open flap and said to her companions, "So...I think leaving before the other team can attack us would be a rather good idea."

"A target for what? As long as we stick together, small groups are a target for us."
E-13 went over to see what Ten was looking at.
"Oh, yeah, yup. I see it. Man, it's not even a 10-minute walk from here, is it?" Well, this was it. Time to nut up or shut up. "So are we going, or what?"

Oh thank god, he let go. She rubbed at the shoulder that Eight had released, breathing out a soft sigh. "I'm not sure that that's your name either, but if you want us to call you by it..." Trailing off, she simply shrugged.
Like Ten, Four cringed at the description that Thirteen gave. Just as she had been relaxing, the rules of this twisted game had resurfaced in her mind again. Were they really expected to kill others, just so thirteen of them could survive? Maybe it would be a good thing for Four to distance herself from everyone but her own teammates, even if there were good people in other teams. That way, if it came to it, she wouldn't feel too guilty if she had to leave someone behind or, in an act of self-defense, if she had to kill. Suddenly, she was grateful for the masks--at least she didn't have to see their faces.
Four wasn't sure what kind of person she was before--what kind of person she was back when she had her memories--but the idea of killing anyone was a sickening idea. You either fight or you die, a voice in her head reminded her, earning a troubled frown from the girl, You're doing this to survive.
Ten's sudden exclamation snapped the girl out of her thoughts, and she rushed forward to peer out of the tent flap. Her eyes widened as it made out the faint shape of the other tent. "We definitely can't stay in here then, and we'll have to be extra careful not to run into any of them when we leave."

"Like anyone has to ask since we have no real choice here. The only people that will have to stay back are those just wishing to die."
Shaking his head he slipped off his pink robe as he made his way over to his backpack. Quickly he stuffed the robe in the bag and then his first aid kit. There was no time to just take everything out and make the packing neat. No, that could wait until later, whenever he had time, if ever. Yeah, if they ever got a chance to rest in this twisted little game they were thrown in.
"Are you guys just going to stand around thinking and gawking at that tent?" he asked while zipping up the bag and tosses it on. "It's time to pack and and get ready to head out to wherever we're headed. There's no more time for talk, only action. It's time to play the game and kick some butt."

"I may not remember much right now, but I definitely remember what a tent is." Ten chuckled, turning to grin at her teammate even if he couldn't see it. It was easy to forget that when she wasn't used to wearing a bit honking mask on her face. "I like the idea of us all staying together, myself...but who's to say all the other teams won't come up with the same idea?" She wasn't opposed to the idea; if she needed a shield she had one in the form of...a teammate...but she really hoped it wouldn't come to this.
Ten looked toward Three when she spoke of packs, nodding in agreement. She was right, packs were very effective. Ten's gaze turned back to the tent across the field. "I vote we check out the other tent. See what's up."

"Yeah, what Ten said. The hell do you mean, careful not to run into any of them? They might be still asleep! Let's get while the getting's good!"
E-13 was already packed. He was tired of dancing on the threshold of the tent opening waiting around for his teammates to make up their minds. They were losing time here, and he wanted to stab something.

She liked Thirteen's way of thinking. Ten stepped away from the tent flap to grab a first aid kit and a bag, checking the ammo on her gun and putting it away again. "Wait for me!" She called out to Thirteen, hurrying out after him. This was exciting again!

Aw, damnit. Guess it was unavoidable, huh? As much as she'd like to prolong waiting around and doing nothing (and not killing/being killed), they were sitting ducks if they didn't act soon. "Let's get going then," she said to the remaining members, taking a deep breath. Turning back, Four grabbed her first aid kit and stuffed it into her backpack while hurrying out of the tent after their other two teammates.
