She just cried into him, her head was screaming at her and her heart was just screaming in general, Gus's soft words helped her calm down but she still didn't want to let go of the hug, she just stayed there even after the tears stopped.

Gus gave her plenty of time. His mother had always said that sometimes crying could do a body a lot of good. It had been a long day for all of them, but especially Jasper, he could see that much.
After a while, he gave her a little pat on the back. "Feel any better now?" he asked.

It took while but she pulled away from Gus slightly and nodded at him, but not letting go.
"y-yeah…thank you.."

"Aw, no need t' thank me. I'm jus' glad I caught you before you left." Gus paused, then added, "Listen kid….some people…..some no-good people….when they see somebody like you, all they think about is how t' use you to make their lives better. Now they know if you fight back, they might not be able to win that fight. So they try t' trick you into thinkin' you're weak and helpless, until you start believin' it. Maybe they tell you not to like yourself, so you won't complain when they treat you wrong." He narrowed his eyes slightly, angry at the thought. "I reckon those are the sons o' guns that raised you, Jasper. Folks like them ain't worth the dirt they stand on, and same goes for their opinions, y'hear? They won't get to push you around ever again."

(I'm so sorry I realized I didn't give you like any reaction time for Evan. I'll make sure to next time)

Jez steps through the doorframe, thick shards of glass on the ill-lit tiled floor. He steps around it to make as little noise just in case screamers were around.
As far as stocking went, it looked decently stocked. Though of pretty pointless things. Jezariah assumed whoever locked this place up took a good bit of the food before hand.
Though Jez gave this situation the benefit of the doubt, as they had just walked inside.
"we could get to the back storage area? Grab any cans and water. That's the priority. Most everything else is probably spoiled" he says, saying the last sentence mostly to himself, as he figured Evan already knew something like that.
He had to remind himself how long its been.

Jesse's just watchin 👀)

(your good man, im just glad for the response)

He nodded to jez, his footsteps careful and quiet as he followed behind Jez, gazing around the store. maybe i could find some cat food… he moved to raise his hand at Jez, before realizing he didn't know if Jez knew sign language or not. "do…do you know sign language?" he asked, speaking in a low whisper.

she nodded, glad that Darius and Gus caught onto her about to leave, if she were out there right now…well she didn't want to think about it.
she thought about the situation she grew up in, and how they would always treat her like crap and how she grew used to being treated that way, so she let it happen.
"N-never..?" she looked up at gus. "b-but..what if they come back..?"

(I just caught up with everything and….Dusty you had no right to make me tear up like that. Gus is too amazing. TT^TT)

(he really is)

(Lol Jesse knows sign language :)) which is the least convenient person to know sign language atm. I'm sure everyone will hate her >:)

He looks around the smaller interior, the air inside hot and humid making it a bit harder to breath compared to the fresh air outside.
His chest felt heavy but he ignored it the best he could. Jez knew he had taken quite a bit of damage last night and this morning from the flames.
He tries his best to think about anything else, keeping his mind off of the shortening of his life span. The chances of a sooner death were higher in for him bit by bit.

Jez furrows his brows at Evans comment, turning around to face hin "damn. No I don't sorry. I assume you do?- since you asked I mean" He asks, his voice calm and quiet, not trying to seem rude. He didn't know if he necessarily did or not but he was trying his best. He didn't want another person hating him, as he was sure Gus and them did. After what he did..
Jez regretted it a little, his stomach turning over whenever he thought about it.
He hadn't known Jasper for even a full day. How was he supposed to react to her suddenly showing him what she was without warning?
To him, this is how he saw it. One day wasn't enough to trust someone. Even if it is in this kind of world…
Especially if since its in this kind of world.

Jesse slips out from behind the car and around the back of the store. If she got lucky she could go in through the roof or the back door. She figured the roof would be the safeties and best way.
She looks it over with a hard glare. The building wasn't more than one floor and the ceilings were already low as is. She would say it was about half the size of a normal Walmart. Though she didn't recognize this store.
She didn't recognize most stores in America. Having grown up in Germany and while she was in America she was kept away from society.
There was nothing to do about that and nothing really that bothered her when it came to that. She didn't need to know all of these stores and places now. Only how to fight.
And she sure as hell knew how to do that much.

(jez has no idea she didnt mean for it to come out that way )

he internally cursed, Butt Muffins… he offered an awkward smile to jez. "Yeah i do…its how we communicated, me and my family, I mean.it's okay if you dont know, i was just wondering since it might be easier." he put a hand on his neck, "im gonna see if i can find something for my cat." he spoke softly, before turning to walk in a different direction that jez.

(okay but wouldnt it be funny, if jess approached evan first)

(y'all are too nice lol, Gus is just doing what he do xDD)

she nodded, glad that Darius and Gus caught onto her about to leave, if she were out there right now…well she didn't want to think about it.
she thought about the situation she grew up in, and how they would always treat her like crap and how she grew used to being treated that way, so she let it happen.
"N-never..?" she looked up at gus. "b-but..what if they come back..?"

"Either they're long gone," Gus replied firmly, "or we show them what's what when they find us again. They'd better think twice before messin' with a big group like ours. No matter what, they ain't got any right to waste your time no more. So keep your chin up and put 'em right outta your head, okay kid?"

Darius just be standing there holding that thing for Gus. Not quite sure what is going on or what to do. So he be chilling.

June is asleep…wherever Jasper dragged her. Then she jumps up suddenly and looks around with slight panic.

(Lol anyone woukd be a better teacher than Jesse)
(Also Jesse's not going to be nice about "approaching" the boys. Jezariah already tried to fight her. She's pissed and she thinks Evans with him. Which he basically is but not how she realizes. Idk if that made sense.)
(Also Evan is so wholesome. "Butt Muffins" i love him so much already XD)

Jezariah smiles at Evan for a second, opening his mouth to speak but he had turned away too quickly.
He sighs guess I'll ask him later? he thought, not seeing it as too important.
"Uh wait-" he says, "uh" Jez pauses, "don't wander too far. I'll be near the cans section if you need anything. I don't want us splitting up too much. Just for safety is all" he says

Jesse eyes the door know of the back, her hand going down to the handle, turning it.
None to her surprise, it didnt budge. She expected it not to but if she had passed it and it wasn't locked, she would have felt like such an idiot.
Letting out a sigh, she rounds back to the ladder she passed on her way to the back.
A long white metal ladder was found attached to the side, blending in with the off-white paint on the buildings exterior.
She wipes her hand on it, the paint scraping off to reveal rested metal. With how big and heavy she was, she doubted the ladder would hold.
Though it wasn't too high of a drop, nor too high to climb. So with that, she steps up to the third bar and starts climbing the rickety ladder. The bolts holding it into the building rattling with every movement she made before hoisting herself up to the roof.
She sat there with a huff, looking over the area. Nobody was around.
To anyone else they'd see that as a rather depressing, hopeless sign. But to Jesse, this couldn't be going any better.

(oh I know she won't be lol, but it would be kinda funny if Jess was trying to talk to Evan, and he didn't hear his because of his hearing disability and she finally gets tried of trying to talk to him and pulls him out of his intense cat food debate like STOP IGNORING ME YOU LITTLE OF CRAP)
(Me just realizing he probably got called that before- anyway- what was Jez gonna say?)

Evan had already walked off before Jez spoke and didn't hear him when he talked about where he would be figuring he would find him when they met up to leave. He went to search and found pet food, definitely not a thing people wanted for the apocalypse so there was a good bit, the question was that they really couldn't carry a huge bag of cat food around with them, so he just grabbed canned cat food that looked okay and shoved a bunch in his bag and zipped it up before looking at some other stuff.

(That's awful, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Please take all the time you need, it's totally understandable. I hope things get better for you soon hugs)

(thank you, again im really sorry, its just this roleplay is alot to take in when you have severe emotional abuse going in your home, and its like this is the thing that broke me, the spray bottle, they treat me as if i'm a cat, not a human being with emotions and trauma for what they do to me. So again its alot to deal with on top of my home situation right now, and im sorry, truly.)
