Daniel didn't say anything.\n\n"Yeah, I guess that must have been it."\n\nThey worked in silence for a while until Elizabeth said, "Okay, I think I've got enough, you?"\n\n"Yeah, I think I've got enough for a decent sized fire."\n\n"Okay, let's head back," she said as she started walking back towards the road. Daniel [[followed|LizEnd]].

<<set $askedHUL = "yes">>"You holding up okay? After what happened at the Motor Inn."\n\n"Oh uh..." He looked uncertain how to answer for a second. "Well, yeah. I'm doing okay I guess. We lost a lot of good people, but I'm doing okay. You?"\n\n"Better than most," he said, with Anna in mind, though, he didn't think Larry hd picked up on that.\n\n<<if $askedTTL is "no">>[["What's with Trevor?"|TrevorTalkL]]<<endif>>\n[["Talk to you later."|LarryEnd2]]

<<set $examine = 0>>Daniel Crelourn's footsteps echoed back at him as he and seven other survivors walked along the abandoned road. Trees lined either side of them with grey skies above, it seemed as if nothing had changed the past few hours that they'd been walking.\n\nThe group kept going, with only small bits of conversation to be heard as they walked. There wasn't much to talk about, their home, people who they loved... Everything lie in ruin behind them. \n\nFor a while, the old Motor Inn had felt like home, they'd been there for nearly three months. Bandits had always been a problem, but they weren't really an actual danger until a month ago. They started demanding supplies, half of whatever they got from going out of runs into the city. Medicine, food, ammo, everything. Their leader, Jack, had refused to make the deal...\n\nAlmost half of their group had been killed, including Jack. Daniel himself had been lucky, an arrow hit him in the leg, but that was all. Now, it was just more annoying than actually painful.\n\nHe didn't talk to anyone, just kept [[walking|Road Hub]]... They had to get somewhere, eventually.

<<if $coward is "yes">>"So, what was that back there with Molly? To afraid to go look for supplies?" Elizabeth looked at him accusingly.\n\n[["What?"|WhatE]]\n[["That's not it..."|ExplainE]]\n[["..."|SilenceE2]]<<else>>They continued to collect firewood in silence for a while.\n\n"Okay, I've got enough," Liz said after a while, "you?"\n\n"Yeah, I'm good."\n\n"Okay, let's head back then," she said, walking back towards the road. Daniel [[followed|LizEnd]].<<endif>>\n\n

<<set $MTA = "yes">>Everyone else was ahead of Daniel, talkingabout something. Molly, Theo, and Aaron. And Theo's dog, Boateng.\n\nMolly had come from Savannah with Anna, a place called Crawford. They'd come to the Motor Inn a couple months ago. She had been their main scavenger ever since she joined them, climbing all around the city with her climbing axe, she'd gone through areas that Daniel could have sword were picked clean and come back with a full pack of supplies.\n\nFunnily enough, Aaron also had a climbing axe like Molly's, but he was just a kid. Still, he went on scavenging missions with Molly most of the time. He'd mostly got the climbing around thing down, but killing walkers was something else entirely. He got freaked out around them, unlike Molly who took them out like it was nothing. He was a little cowardly, but still plenty helpful.\n\nTheo was a big guy, pretty agressive too. Daniel didn't actually know too much about him, besides that he had come form Atlanta. They didn't talk too much. Come to think of it, nodoby talked much with Theo. Probably because he looked like a big, angry giant.<<set $examine = $examine + 1>>\n\n<<if $treeline is "no">>The [[treeline]] seemed to be closing in on the the group as they walked along the road.<<endif>> <<if $AnE is "no">>Behind him, Daniel heard [[Anna and Elizabeth]] talking.<<endif>> <<if $MTA is "no">>Almost everyone else was [[up ahead]], talking about something or other.

They'd come to another side road branching off deeper into the forest.\n\n"What's the problem?" Daniel aksed, wondering why they had stopped. They'd already decided yesterday not to stop for any of these small dirt roads, they wouldn't accomplish much if they kept stopping to check out every single one.\n\nMolly answered. "It's already getting late, and we're low on supplies. We figured that we could just set up camp here, meanwhile, Aaron, Theo and I will go check out what's down this path, you know, since we're stopping anyway."\n\nTrevor immediatly had to question her, "Why do you get to say where we should stop for camp, who declar-"\n\n"Calm down, We haven't decided yet, I was just suggesting it," she said, irritated.\n\n"I think it's a good idea, but maybe you should take someone else with you, just in case," Liz suggested.\n\nNo one, aside form Trevor, thought it would be a bad plan, there was just the question of who else should go.\n\n[["I'll go."|Dirt Path]]\n[["We also need people to protect the camp."|Camp]]\n[["..."|CampSilent]]

They all quickly followed, leaving the rest of them to set up camp.\n\n[[Larry]] quickly started setting up a small tent that he had tucked away in his own pack. Daniel had been given one to keep in his [[backpack]] after they went on the run as well.

What Comes After

"That wasn't it..."\n\n"Oh?"\n\n"I meant what I said, someone should stay behind and protect the group. Think about it, no walkers for a whole day now. They're bound to show up at some point, and I didn't want to leave just Larry here to protect you."\n\nShe thought about it for a second. "Okay, so... Maybe I was a little quick to judge. Sorry."<<set $coward = "explained">>\n\n"No problem."\n\n"I think we've got enough anyway, let's head back," she said as she started walking back to the road. Daniel [[followed|LizEnd]].

"I'll go."\n\n"Looks like we've got our group," Theo said, walking off down the path, not waiting for anyone else. Aaron, Molly, and Daniel quickly followed him and Boateng as the rest started to set up camp.\n\nThe path was crowded by trees on either side, with bushes and other vegetation invading the path, which hadn't been used by anyone for over a year, maybe longer considering it was just some dirt road in the middle of the woods even before the Turn.\n\nThere was only enough room for them to walk single file. Theo started off leading the way, but with Daniel's machete, it was clear they'd be able to move quicker if he led the way, cutting through any vegetation that had grown so that it was blocking the way.\n\nEventually, it widened out, and the trees were further away.\n\n"Hey," Aaron said, now walking next to Daniel.\n\n"Hi."\n<<silently>>\n<<set $askedCTA = "no">>\n<<set $askedMITA = "no">>\n<<endsilently>>\n\n[["What do you think we'll find?"|CabinTalkA]]\n[["You miss the Motor Inn?"|MotorInnTalkA]]\n[["..."|SilenceA]]

<<set $tent ="yes">>Daniel decided that talking to everyone else could wait, and started to set his tent up.\n\nHe extended the poles, spread the fabric, quickly hammered the spikes into the ground with the hilt of his machete, he kept working to set it up for maybe half an hour.\n\nBy the time he got it set up, <<if $LarryTalk is "no">>[[Larry]] was taking some other things out of his pack, his tent all set up, too.<<else>>Larry was taking some other things out of his pack, his tent all set up, too.<<endif>> [[Anna|WatchAnna]] was still keeping watch, but there hadn't been any walkers so far, just like the rest of the day.\n\n<<if $LizTalk is "no">>[[Elizabeth|ForestLiz2]] was back now, carrying some firewood with her.

Daniel had been given one to keep in his [[backpack]] after they went on the run as well.

<<set $treeline = "yes">>Daniel moved a little closer to the edge of the woods. There were a lot of trees and vegetation around here, no way that any walkers could sneak up on them. It was strange really, they hadn't actually seen any walkers since they left the Motor Inn.

Daniel decided to see what Liz was doing going into the forest. He aught up to her pretty quickly, and she saw him as he got closer. \n\n"Oh, hi, I'm just going to collect some firewood."\n\n[["Sounds like a good idea, I'll come with."|Forest]]\n[["Oh, okay, I'll leave you to it."|LizDeny]]

"What?"\n\n"You know what I'm talking about," she said. "Come on, you just didn't want to go. Admit it."\n\n[["You're wrong."|ExplainE2]]\n[["Fine, I admit..."|AdmitE]]\n[["..."|SilenceE2]]

They stopped talking after that, and just kept walking down the dirt path. Eventually, it came to a clearing with a big cabin in the middle of it.\n\n<<if $askedCTA eq "yes">>"Looks like you were right," Daniel said to Aaron.<<endif>>\n\n<<if $askedHTA is "yes">>"Yeah, let's just hope that you aren't right about there being someone here."<<endif>>\n\nThey approached the cabin slowly, with Molly leading. She walked up on the porch of the cabin and slowly approached the door, now pulling a medical mask over her mouth in case there were walkers, something smart that no one else had really picked up yet.\n\nDaniel drew his machete from it's holster across his back as she opened the door. It opened easily, but made a hell of a lot of noise. They didn't need to do anything else to draw walkers out, that would have been enough, so they waited. After maybe a minute, when no walkers showed up, they all went [[inside.|Cabin]]

<<set $AnE = "yes">>Anna Correa had found them a couple months back along with Molly, they were both from Savvanah, a community had been built there called Crawford. Neither of them talked about it much, but Molly made it clear that everyone there deserved what they got whenever someone tried to talk to her about it.\n\nAnna had a daughter, a little girl. She wasn't even a year old.\n\nShe died in the attack. Daniel wasn't quite sure how still, but she was dead, and Anna was heartbroken. The first day she had done nothing but cry, not talking to anyone. Now, she'd stopped crying at least, but Daniel doubted if she was any better, if she would ever get over it.\n\nElizabeth had been with the group almost since the beginning, even since before Daniel had found them. She was pretty smart, knew a lot about electronics and machinery, and a quick learning. Jack was a surgeon, and he had been teaching Liz a few things in case he wasn't around when someone got injured. Now that he was gone, she was pretty much the only one among them who knew anything about medicine.<<set $examine = $examine + 1>>\n\n<<if $treeline is "no">>The [[treeline]] seemed to be closing in on the the group as they walked along the road.<<endif>> <<if $MTA is "no">>Almost everyone else was [[up ahead]], talking about something or other.
