Derp Tank

Walter: Oh good. ;___;

Harry: I heard lemon juice heals wounds pretty fast. If we find a lemon, we should squeeze it all over his wounds next time.

Walter: NODON'T! D8>

Key: Owww, yeah, I'm not mean enough to do that to him. XD;

Mia: *can't help but snicker* Don't worry, Walt, I won't let him come near you. :P

Walter: You're a dear, dear. <3

Harry: ...

Mia: I try~

Key: Oookay, all done. :) try not to move around too much. :P

Walter: Joy. Thank you very much, Key. :D

Harry: ...

Key: Anytime. ^^

Mia: :)

Walter: Harry, do you have anything to say? Hmm?

Harry: ... No. I don't.

Mia: Are you sure about that?

Key: ...? :/

Harry: Pretty sure. >_____>

Walter: C'mon, Haarrryyyyy! XD

Key: Did I miss something?

Mia: Yes, yes you did.

Key: *looks over at Harry* What are they talking about? D;

Harry: They're not talking about anything, they're just being SILLY. TOO damn silly...

Walter: Are not! D:

Mia: Stop avoiding it, Harry~~

Key: :I

Walter: Peer! Pressure! Peer! Pressure!

Harry: Jesus CHRIST, leave me ALONE! DX<

Key: Yeah guys, if he doesn't wanna talk you can't make him. :I

Mia: But... but AWWW, come ooooon! D:

Walter: PEER!! PRESSURE!! PEER!! PRESSURE!! D8

Harry: Nnnoo... D:<

Mia: *bats her eyelashes* PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE? :C

Key: *laughs a bit* Guys, really, cut it out. <:P

up

Harry: *says nothing, his face going red again*

Walter: 'Allo, Key! Brought supplies for m'back, I see.

Key: Yup! ^^ *kneels down next to Mia--she doesn't notice how red Harry was* Just a warning, though, this is probably going to hurt. a lot. :I

Mia: ^^;

Walter: Ohhhh no. D8

Harry: *completely silent* <//////<;

Key: I'm sorry. :C But we can't you risk getting infected--the OTHER kind of infected. We can try to go a bit faster, if you want...

Mia: *starts peeling the old bandages off*

Walter: Mmmnn fine. Fiiine. Better to get it over with, right?

Harry: ...

Key: Yep... *pulls out the alcohol and dampens a piece of gauze with it*

Mia: *pulls the rest of the bandages off* :/

Key: Okay, ready?

Walter: Nope. Do it anyway. .___.;

Harry: *watches, an amused smirk on his face*

Key: Here goes-- *very lightly presses the gauze against the wound, quickly dabbing at it to clean it*

Mia: *watches, wincing in sympathy* D;

Walter: *draws in a sharp breath* FFUUUUCK... frackETY frack frack frackERS frackING frack FUUUUUUCK...!!

Harry: *snorts trying to contain his laughter*

Key: *is also trying hard not to laugh--she'd feel bad if she did* Just haaang on... *keeps dabbing at the wounds*

Mia: ^^;;;

Walter: It hurts...! ;___;

Harry: You asked to get it over with.

Key: I'm almost done.... there. *puts the gauze down, and grabs some fresh one, placing it over the wounds* Mia, could you start bandaging these?

Mia: Yeah, sure-- *does so* You doing okay down there?

Walter: *whimpering* Nooo... ;___;

Harry: *snickers*

Mia: *teasingly* Awww, poor baby... you'll be fine soon~ :P *keeps bandaging*

Key: *also works*

Walter: Don't be like that - YOU don't have to deal with wounds like these! DX

Harry: *laughs*

Key: They'll heal up soon--lucky for you, they're a bit deep, but not too large.

Mia: What she said. :P

up

Walter: You still did a real top-notch job, Mia. :)

Harry: ...

Mia: Thanks. ^^

Key: I'll be right back then. :) *gets up to go find another first aid kit*

Walter: *uses the opportunity to interrogate Harry* ... So Harryyy... do you LIKE Key? :3

Harry: What? Of course I do. She's my friend. :/


Walter: No, no... not like that. :3

Mia: we want to know if you LIKE like her. :3

Harry: What is this, elementary school? DX

Walter: Do you or don't you? :3

Harry: *doesn't answer* ...

Mia: Silence is usually a yes, Harry. :3

Harry: *his face reddens and he stumbles over his own words to try covering up his apparent feelings for Key* I-it's n-not like that, we're FRIENDS, is all, like, that's all w-we've BEEN, not that love i-is a BAD thing, b-but it's not OUR th-thing because OUR thing is t-to just s-survive a-and there's NO ROOM for th-that l-love stuff a-and it's not like th-there can ever b-be a PLACE for it - and we're just friends, okay?? D///X

Walter: :3

Mia: *grins* Oh yeah, you like her. A LOT.

Harry: SH-SHUT UP! NO I DON'T! DDD////X

Walter: Oooohh... Maybe we should tell Key that you don't like her. :3

Harry: NO! D8>

Mia: So we should tell her you DO like her? :3

Harry: NOO! D8>

Walter: Well, it's gotta be one or the other. :3

Mia: Make up your mind~ :3

Harry: Either way, she'd hate me...! D8>

Walter: What makes you say that? :/

Harry: Sh-she doesn't like me like that, and - and I don't know...

Mia: And how can you tell THAT? She seemed preeeeeetty comfortable there.

Harry: Sh-she was just doing that to humor me! WHAT IF SHE KNOWS ALREADY?? D8>

Walter: You're quite paranoid there, friend. >___>;

Mia: For all you know, she might feel the same way--hell, maybe she's just as dodgy about it as you are!

Harry: Mrff... XC

Walter: Just tell her, mate, you'll be happy y'did. :P

Key: *comes back with the supplies*

Mia: *mutters* Here's your chance~

up

Key: I know, it's okay... Just try taking a deep breath...

Mia: D:>

Harry: *he does and leans on Key, shutting his eyes tightly, trying not to cry*

Walter: *doesn't know what to do* <:/

Key: *hugs him tightly with one arm, allowing him to lean on her* ...

Mia: *is just as clueless as Walter--it's not like they could LEAVE either, moving him would be difficult...*

Harry: *he touches the hand Key hugs him with, grateful*

Walter: *raises an eyebrow*

Key: *gives him a sad smile*

Mia: ? *glances over and notices, and has to stop herself from smiling* ...

Harry: *he doesn't notice them. He just focuses on Key, smiling a little, himself*

Walter: *has to keep himself from saying anything* X)

Key: *quietly* feeling better?

Mia: X)

Harry: *just as quietly* ... A bit, yeah. *He knows that Key's presence alone makes him feel better. But he chooses not to say this out loud*

Walter: *he's excited for them*

Key: *her smiles widens a bit* Good.

Mia: *looks over at Walter and grins--she's as excited as he is*

Harry: *even more quietly* ... S'nice t'have you around, Key...

Walter: :D

Key: *lowers her voice to match his* S'nice to still have you around...

Mia: ^^

Harry: *he rests his head on her shoulder, happy*

Walter: *even more excited*

Key: *reddens slightly. she slowly rubs his shoulder with her thumb, still hugging him*

Mia: CX

Harry: *he stays there for a while before letting go and looking over at Mia and Walter* What? >:/

Walter: Oh, nothing. CX

Mia: Nothing whatsoever. CX

Key: ... :I *looks over at the door, and notices how dark it is outside* ...Looks like it's going to rain again...

Harry: Well, we weren't going to try going out anyway.

Walter: Right. Because I've got these bleeding HOLES in my back. Literally!

Key: We should probably change those bandages soon...

Mia: Yyyeah, could you help me out with that? I kind of had no idea what I was doing the first time. D;

Key: Of course! <:P

up

Key: D:> *puts her arm around his shoulder, rubbing his arm* Harry, it's okay...

Mia: <:( .....

Harry: L-like I said b-before... c-can't keep breaking down l-l-like this...

Walter: D:>

Harry: *mumbling* Cut me some slack, he died like, two weeks ago...

Walter: :/

Mia: But we're not... *stops talking before she says something incredibly stupid*

Key: <:( *puts a hand on his shoulder*

Walter: <:/

Harry: *tries not to cry, though he's shaking* ...

Walt: Oh, good! :D

Harry: Yuh-huh. Good job, Key.

Key: =^^=

Mia: Yaaay, we won't starve~

Walter: I do suppose that's something to cheer about. :D

Harry: Too bad they taste like crap, though.

Key: Oh, they're better than nothing. :P

Mia: That's the spirit. <:P

Harry: ... I'd kill for just a regular peanut butter sandwich right now...

Walter: Maybe we'll find some peanut butter some day. Though you'll have to make-do without the bread.

Mia: Peanut butter would be AMAZING.

Key: Agreed. :I

Walter: And it takes a long time for it to expire. ;D

Harry: H'okay.

Mia: YYYYYYYYYay. X)

Key: ...Sooo... is anybody hungry NOW?

Harry: I am.

Walter: Same here, right? Pass me one of those glorious rectangle processed foods. D8

Mia: Yes please. D:

Key: Oookay--*hands out the bars, and keeps one for herself*

Harry: *eats his silently*

Walter: I do hope that the safe zone has ice cream... I like ice cream.

Harry: No cows, Walter.

Walter: BAW! D8>

Mia: Soymilk? D:

Key: ...eww. DX

Walter: Soy milk ice cream?? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO!?

Harry: It's an apocalypse, guys. >___>

Mia: We're just kidding around, Harry... <:P

Key: *nibbles on the ration bar* ....

Harry: Feh...

Walter: Not very jester-like are you? XP

Harry: ... That was Todd's job...

Key: *looks over at Harry* ... <:/ ...

Mia: ...Mmh... Doesn't mean the rest of us have to be gloomy too, though. <:/

Harry: I never said you couldn't be, I was just... pointing that out. He was funny.

Walter: *gets uncomfortable* <:/

Mia: *also gets a bit uncomfortable* ...

Key: *tries to change the subject, but can't really come up with anything--so she just takes another bite out of her bar*

up

Harry: Oh - uh - I'm sorry for, uh, pointing a gun in your face, Mia. D:

Walter: Damn right you better be. >:/

Mia: *nods* S'okay...

Key: ..... *sighs* Oookay... Walter, how are you feeling? :/

Harry: >__>; ...

Walter: Not sick. >:/

Key: *glances at Harry, then back at Walter* Do you think you can make it to the next safehouse, or do you want to try and wait?

Mia: ...

Walter: Ah... well... my back's burning. I don't want to keep us from the next safe house, though.

Harry: We're staying here if you can't move.

Key: If it still hurts that much, we're not going to make you move... <:/

Mia: *looks over at Walter worriedly* ...

Walter: It wouldn't be all tea and biscuits if I somehow died from this wound of mine... er... multiple wounds...

Harry: Let's not think about that.

Key: Well, looks like we're staying, then...

Mia: *looks a bit relieved* ...

Harry: Let's hope there's enough food here to keep us alive for more than one day.

Walter: Mhmm...

Key: There SHOULD be... You want me to go look? <:/

Mia: ...

Walter: Go ahead.

Harry: ...

Key: ... *goes to hunt down some food*

Mia: *is still quiet* ...

Harry: *to Mia* I really am sorry. Just took me a bit to say it.

Walter: Yeah, well, sorry's not good enough. Scared the crap outta her, mate. >:/

Mia: *quietly* I already said it's okay...

Walter: Hrmph!

Harry: ... Don't yell at me, this was for everyone else's own good.

Walter: As in YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND. D8<

Harry: SHE'S NOT MY - OKAY SO WHAT IF IT WAS FOR OUR OWN GOOD?? AREN'T WE ALLOWED TO SURVIVE??

Mia: *gets a bit frustrated by their yelling* Guys, CUT IT OUT! *quiets down when she's sure she has their attention* ...Look. We can't keep yelling at each other like this, not if we want to get out of this alive... I already accepted Harry's apology, now PLEASE, just let it be...

Walter: Mrrrgh... FINE...

Harry: >:/ *he scoots away from them*

Mia: *sighs. she has a feeling today was going to be a long day...*

Key: *comes back* Hey, I found a bunch of those ration bars in one of the back rooms...

up

Harry: ... I slept really well, actually. You?

meanwhile

Walter: What's human to you?

Key: Same. :)

meanwhile

Mia: ...US, I guess... WE'RE human...

Harry: That's good... :)

meanwhile

Walter: And what MAKES us human?

Key: :) Oh, um... Maybe we should check on Mia and Walter. <:/

meanwhile

Mia: Rational thought. Something that isn't "I'M GOING TO KILL THE FIRST THING THAT MOVES, OM NOM NOM."

Harry: ... *gets his gun*

meanwhile

Walter: ... Maybe they think WE'RE the monsters...

Key: *notices this, and frowns--she really hopes they won't need that* ...

meanwhile

Mia: How do you figure that? :/

Harry: ... *he leaves*

meanwhile

Walter: Something's convincing them to attack us. :/

Key: *follows behind him*

meanwhile

Mia: Yeah, but... wouldn't that be like saying a dog is human for attacking a person? :/

Harry: *readies his gun*

meanwhile

Walter: Well, it would never attack a person unless provoked, no?

Key: ......

meanwhile

Mia: Unless it had like... rabies or something...

Harry: *he then steps out and points the shotgun right at Mia* D8<

Walter: !!!!

Mia: !!! *is pretty sure her heart just stopped--oh god oh god oh god not this oh god* W-WE'RE NOT INFECTED!! D8>

Key: !!! Harry, don't!! D8

Harry: ... *puts the gun down* ...

Walter: THE HELL, MATE?? D8<

Mia: *slowly scoots back, away from Harry and towards Walter, still wide-eyed and terrified* D8 ....

Key: Jeez, Harry, was that really necessary? D;

Harry: ... I had to be sure...

Walter: SURE MY @$$! YOU JUST WANTED TO SCARY THE BLOODY HELL OUTTA HER! D8<

Key: Well, what's done is done...

Mia: *still looks terrified*

Key: ... *nudges Harry with her elbow, jerking her head towards Mia*

Harry: *he looks at Mia, then back at Key, confused* :/

Walter: *comforts Mia, putting an arm around her and pulling her near him* ...

Mia: *tries to compose herself, but still looks visibly shaken* ....

Key: *hisses* apologize!

up

Harry: <:) ... *he fully holds Key's hand, happy for that small moment*

Key: *also holds his hand, squeezing it reassuringly. she rests her head back against his shoulder, feeling comfortable there* g'night....

Harry: *he just keeps holding her hand, enjoying her company. He falls asleep on a single thought. Just one thought. He thinks that... perhaps... he loves Key*

Key: *sleeps peacefully, comforted by Harry's presence. she... she was HAPPY there...*

*The Next Morning*

Harry: *asleep, leaning on Key as she leans on him. He's still holding her hand*

meanwhile

Walter: *asleep and not sick at all*

Key: *is also still asleep, leaned against Harry*

Mia: --!!! *suddenly jolts awake--she sits up, looks at herself, at her hands, then at Walter, and finally breathes a sigh of relief. she was still human. they both were. thank GOD...*

Harry: *asleep*

meanwhile

Walter: *wakes up a bit from her sudden movements* Mmmngh... Mia...?

Key: *starts waking up* mmh...

meanwhile

Mia: !! Hey, Walt... did I wake you up? <:/

Harry: *asleep*

meanwhile

Walter: *he gives her a sleepy smile* ... Sorta... but that's okay... *he then frowns* ... Did you have a nightmare or something...?

Key: ...? *figures out where she is, and smiles a bit, closing her eyes. a few more minutes wouldn't hurt*

meanwhile

Mia: Oh, um... yeah. I guess so. <:/

Harry: *remains asleep, happy in Key's presence*

meanwhile

Walter: ... What about? <:/

Key: *rests there against him* ... X)

meanwhile

Mia: ...we had turned. woke up the next day and I was one of THEM... a while later and a few people killed, i ended up with a gun barrel in my face... they pulled the trigger, bam. I woke up. <:/

Harry: *groggily waking up* ... Mngh...

meanwhile

Walter: ... That must have been frightening... I'm sorry... D:>

Key: ! *sits up straight, still holding his hand* g'mornin...

meanwhile

Mia: S'alright... Just a dream, anyway. I mean, we're both still human, right?

Harry: Morning... *he notices how she is still holding his hand and smiles warmly*

meanwhile

Walter: Heh... human enough...

Key: ! *gently pulls her hand away from Harry's, but smiles back* Sleep okay?

meanwhile

Mia: <:/ ?
