Monica's suffering from blood loss sad Visibly it's some cuts but she's received some bandaging. She'll be pretty dizzy though u_u
It was a good thing Monica had at least stopped back home, she thought. Hah - home. That wasn't really a good name for the prison.
But it was home, for now, right? And even if there were prickly people like Athena, the prison also contained...well, it contained a lot of people that Monica cared about, was all. So it was, in a sense, home.
That was a nice thing to think about, she thought as she stumbled along back into the throng of people that were milling about checking up on each others' injuries. Wow: they were all pretty hurt-looking. It unnerved her. But...she had an objective, and she wouldn't be deterred. Maybe. Walking had never been this hard before!
She was looking for people who were unfamiliar, and she stopped woozily next to two of them. "Hi!" she beamed. "Can I ask you some...some questions?" She'd be more than willing to answer some of her own, if that would get them to do it.

John looks just as gruff as ever. He's not moving much though, makes his ribs hurt.
John Nordskov had been sitting with his back to as many others as he could. So when he heard a bright, cheery voice addressing someone nearby, naturally it took him a good couple seconds to realize it might have been addressed to him.
He turned around despite the pain in his ribs, fixing his steely blue eyes on the girl. With his bushy grey-flecked beard and wild eyebrows, it was as fierce as a casual glance could be. She was looking at him. And someone else... With some more ignored pain Mr. Nordskov turned even further, fixing that natural glare on the person directly behind him. He didn't recognize either of them.
He grunted, in a gruff tone that could have been either acceptance or refusal, but at least he didn't walk away.

"Yeah!" Monica cheered. She'd gotten people to talk to her. Obstacle one: clear. The first one to respond looked pretty intimidating, but the other was...uh, he was young. But he looked a lot more open. Other than...ow, that face. To be fair, though, everyone here looked pretty banged up. She shut off her new radio briefly to turn to them with a grin. "So, um, one of the bandits said that we should interview each other...so. You." She pointed at Mr. Nordskov. "What use would you say you have for your faction? Whatever it is." Then she turned - a flurry of loose curls - to Dazs. (Maybe she shouldn't have done that so quickly. Her head was hurting now.) "Um, um, I forgot what I was gonna - oh!...what did you do before all of this?"
"I'm Monica Chavez, by the way. I'm with the Crooks!" she added, completely ingenuous. Although it wouldn't have taken extreme powers of observation to see the handcuffs clinking merrily on her wrist.

John grunted, his glare more pointed. He stood up to tower over both of the others, with the muscle and scuffs and flannel he could have walked straight out of the woods having just fought a bear. And won. He wasn't sure what this girl's deal, but perhaps asking what he brought to the table was not the best idea.
He crossed thick arms across his chest, more interested in hearing what the other two had to say than speaking up himself.

"You're with the crooks? Please say you know Adelaide!" His voice was pleading, before he snapped himself back, coughing painfully. "Uh, I mean... I'm in the mall. And I used to paint a lot.... I'm 15 so no job yet. M-mom said to focus on school." He frowned and picked at some dried paint on his jacket. His jacket was also covered with blood, now, from his broken nose.
"Hey, why isn't bear answering?"

For a moment Monica had to gape. Why wasn't he talking? But then she supposed it was a little obvious. He was a built guy and his strengths were clearly in his ability to punch things. Well that was helpful maybe.
But she turned to the younger guy with interest. She had heard the name Adelaide before, in fact. "She's the one who saw the guy fall, right?" That had been creepy. "I mean um. This morning we think someone jumped, and I think it fell past her window." That had not been the greatest experience, and the undying they'd had to fight as a result was not one of Monica's greatest memories either.
Was that the right Adelaide?
"Um." If they weren't asking questions she could answer her own. "I was in for drunk driving," she admitted. " And...I like to think that people like me because I'm cheerful and small, so I can scavenge weird nooks!"
After a moment she looked back at, uh, Bear. "Maybe his jaw's broken," she suggested with all too much interest.

He took in the information without a change of expression on his craggy old face. At first there had been jumpers at the apartments too, way back at the start when people were just coming to grips with the catastrophe. Some people had been able to keep going, some just... hadn't. He couldn't fault them. Perhaps it was an easier way to go than being torn apart by infected.
"Are you even old enough to drive?" Mr. Nordskov spoke up gruffly, eyeing the tiny young lady with skepticism. Then he shot the other kid a warning glare. Not only to emphasize the wisdom of respecting your elders, but also that making decisions like driving intoxicated put you in prison so don't do it.

"I dunno." He shrugged expansively (even though it hurt - ********, he kept forgetting). "I talked to someone who said they knew her, but I haven't been able to get in touch." He frowned.
"Hah, you got caught for dumb s**t. ...wait, weren't you supposed to be asking questions?"

"Well," said Monica, who did admittedly look very young, and was still very evidently younger than Mr. Nordskov. "I'm twenty-five! Just because I'm short -"
And just because she acted immature...
Well, who cared anyway. "I thought we'd take turn asking questions!" she said, although she quickly jotted down their answers anyway.

"I have..." Ooh, she was getting dizzy again. She held her stomach for a bit, then glanced up at the two of them. "U-uh - it wasn't dumb! I just..." She'd thought no one would be able to tell. She was a good driver! She'd been a drag racer, even before all of that! She just hadn't counted on random breath checks.
"But I can ask another one! Um...do you think we'll be rescued?"

Mr. Nordskov snorted. The motion brought pain to his ribs, but it was impossible to see any sign of it through his thick beard and thicker frown.
"No."
Straight to the point as always. They couldn't even come to each other's rescue, divided up into factions with bandits and the like, fighting each other as much as they fought the infected. And if they couldn't work with each other, how could they expect someone on the outside to step in and just magically fix the whole mess? No, if this was something that could be fixed, if there was a 'rescue' possible, it would have happened long before things got this bad.
He watched closely as the girl scribbled something down. That must have meant someone thought these answers were worth something, John made his own mental note to commit the answers to memory.

"It's be nice - and it's fun to believe we'll be rescued. I just want to paint...." Dazs' hope had been restored a bit by contacting his mom. Though he always knew she'd survive - she was too ******** stubborn to die, most likely. He glanced up at Nordskov.
"You don't talk much, huh? Well, here's a question - if you could whack infected with anything, what would it be?" He looked expectantly at them both.

"That's easy!" Monica beamed. "I'd use a car."
There was a short pause as she considered her words. "I mean, I could stay safe inside the car, and then run into them. Like. Squish!" It sounded a bit mean, but they weren't people anymore, right? "But I don't think we can get one to turn on right now," she added, a little sad. "I've been using a fishing rod, though."

"Rifle."
It was the one thing the old man had been yearning for since the whole disaster started. He had been a capable hunter, he just needed some decent firearms and he'd be one step closer to getting out of this mess.
He eyed both the kids. First one and then the other. "How have you survived this long, how are your groups staying alive?"
John had never quite understood why people had ended up in distinct groups, separate from each other. There had to be some reason for it, why they had split to survive instead of group together, and now was perhaps his best time to get an answer. Not like it would help the situation any. It would just ease his curiosity, put that damn cat out of it's misery after a month of wondering.

Oooh, Mr. Old Guy had a question!
"I...honestly, I do think it's our electric fence," said Monica, sounding entirely somber. "I don't know - I'd have been glad to leave, but the Boss has shown that he's more than capable of keeping us safe as long as we're all responsible for ourselves. Nothing gets in, so that's how we stay safe." She shrugged. "I think I've survived this long in particular because I'm good at running away from stuff, and I always make sure to stay warm!"
Was that all?
