It's very kind of you, ma'am, taking me in like this. And I'm sure the others, if they show up, too, they'll feel the same. Any kind of break from the life we've been living's a gift.

[ ... ]

That said, I think there's a serious point that needs to be made here. My family, my friends? They're not to be toyed with. Matter of fact, I'm not real keen on that, either. If you're working to keep us safe, then, that's all right with me. But I've heard of these games, and I won't have it. Not with all we've been through.

Ain't like we got much of a choice here, Rick. Fucking muns and their games, it's all bullshit.

[shouldered]

Yeah, well. We can try and reason with 'em.

[onlyonethatszen]

Yeah? Lemme know where that gets ya. I'm stuck in limbo til decisions can be made.

[shouldered]

And how different is that from normal? I think we've been stuck in a kind of limbo for a long time.

[onlyonethatszen]

N'aw, Rick, this is worse. Ain't no walkers to shoot, no scrounging for food. If this is paradise it's a boring one.

[shouldered]

And you think boring's worse than life or death, every day?

[onlyonethatszen]

I'm sayin' there needs to be some kind of medium there. I hate just sittin' round. Gets me restless.

[shouldered]

I understand that. Trust me, I'm not a fan of it, either. But, there's still not much we can do just yet, 'sides sitting around and figuring all this out.

[onlyonethatszen]

Ain't nothin' to figure. That's the thing. We're stuck here like fucking prisoners, man. [Groans.] Your mun got you a place all picked out at least?

[shouldered]

It can't be all bad. There's got to be somewhere around here that we can go, stretch our legs a bit.

[ He frowns. ] Doesn't seem like she will. She's got others, not sure she'll make the time to get me out.

oh hello. [/SQUEAL]

[keepsthemsafe]

[Rick. rick you want to talk about toying. Rick. D: This lady]

Are you for real man?

You honestly going t'try to reason with them?

screech ♥

[shouldered]

You haven't tried? [ What's he saying, this is Shane. ] ... I think it's worth a shot.

[/clings to] :D

[keepsthemsafe]

If you say so.

You're askin' for trouble. They like fucking with people for no better reason then their own sick and twisted pleasure.

You all right?

rubs face on

[shouldered]

You'd say I'm always askin' for trouble. [ But, he smiles. ]

Fine. Just want to make sure everyone else is, too.

lol careful, I might try and enable you to my game D:

[keepsthemsafe]

Here is a prime example. [Shane's smile has a nasty quality to it] Prime. Guess who's in jail pal? guess who's locked up.

dhjsdogfs sob, I wish I could handle another game rn :c

[shouldered]

... I'm gonna make the leap here. You?

D: [/reaches for]

[keepsthemsafe]

[Shane's eyes narrow] ...It ain't even that I would mind so much except that there's no morals, no standards, and dangerous mind...shit going on Rick it ain't right.

D:

[shouldered]

Sounds like what we're used to, Shane. [ Doesn't it? ] I don't think it's right, either-- it's not. But, there's gotta be some way outta this.

FEELS.

[keepsthemsafe]

Yes.

[he pauses] Rick...

wehhh

[shouldered]

[ dot dot dot ]

... Yeah?

[nailknots]

It's not always so bad.

[shouldered]

[ So many familiar faces. He exhales. ]

The others'd disagree with you.

HUSBANDOOOO.........daddy :>

[tellittothefrogs]

They don't really like to listen to what we want, Dad.

[Carl sounds so matter of fact about this. Also, he looks kind of mad about it as well.]

awksuace :'D

[shouldered]

Carl. [ have a LOVING EMBRACE because of family reasons ]

Seems like you're right. But, doesn't mean I won't stop tryin'.

no kidding. we're real hillbillies now!

[tellittothefrogs]

[Carl hugs his Dad back, a very tight squeeze, before Carl's minor sense of man pride kicks in. Then he just draws away from Rick and smiles a little bit faintly.]

If you did stop I'd have to call you an alien, because that's not something you would do. Ever.

[A pause and Carl tips his hat back a little bit so he can see better as he looks up.]

Is she gonna put you somewhere?

skpodgu NO MUST RESIST

[shouldered]

Guess so. [ Definitely don't call him an alien, though, that'd be way rude. ]

M'not sure yet. Seems like she's got her hands full with the others to think about it. That's just like 'em, I guess. Dragging us out here, then pushing us aside.
