Lyric hated being cooped up, and while she appreciated having a somewhat safe place to stay for awhile, she knew it wouldn't be permanent. Almost nothing was anymore. She might be young but she knew the reality of things, it was hard but it was what it was. For now she thought it'd be good to see if she could track down something to eat, even if it was just a rabbit or two, it would be something at least.

Nick traveled for months on his own, never seeing another living person. He was starting to think that he was the only one left. He didn’t know how to feel about that. Part of him was glad to be alone, because no one could hurt him, but the other half, the half that needed companionship, was feeling pretty lonely right then. Wh all hope seemed lost of ever seeing living people again, he met up with a small group of five people and they took him in. He didn’t trust them at first, but also didn’t want to be alone anymore. He had begun to think that he was the last survivor.

Over the next few weeks, he actually grew to trust this group and actually considered them family, but nothing good ever last for him, it seemed, because they got raided by another group, who shot and killed his entire group. He was shot as well, but didn’t die. He only pretended to be dead until the other group was gone. Then he slowly and carefully got up and gathered his things, it’s a good thing he didn’t trust people and hid his bow and his bag. That way, the raiders didn’t find it. While he did that his fallen group member began to rise up again, which confused Nick. They were dead, not bitten…How could they have turned? He had to kill his friends again, which only succeeded in making him close up even more.

Daryl attached the rope to the animals rear legs, and tossed the other end over a beam along the guard catwalk that connected the outside of one wing of the prison to the other. Grabbed the free end he pulled it tight, stringing the deer up in the air to allow the blood to drain downwards. With much grunting the animal was at an acceptable level for him to dress it properly.

Honestly she hated the idea of bothering someone when they were asleep, too many times in the past had she herself been woken up while trying to sleep. These days sleep was quite precious, at least real sleep. Most of the time it was normal to sleep with one eye open, always on guard. But Kat was in-need of a hand or two, although she was sure it might cause a bit of an issue, other than her sister there was so far only one person she at least somewhat trusted. Melody, the sweet but feisty blonde girl. Honestly she was a little surprised of how fond she was of the girl already but something about her made Kat a bit more at ease, it was nice really. 

Kat knew it was probably a bad idea for her to sneak off, but she was becoming increasingly irritated with some certain people. And she knew it was only a matter of time before she snapped, and being knew well, she didn't want to be on too many peoples bad sides so quickly. So she left for a bit, shouldering her crossbow before heading off for a bit, she figured she might be able to find a few things to bring back to hopefully make peace if anyone noticed her gone. And so far she had a few things, including a little chocolate she was pleased to find and safely tucked it away in her bag, Melody might be able to make some chocolate covered strawberries after all.

But for now she was enjoying the solitude as she found herself near a lake she dropped herself down, pulling out a nice looking apple as her eyes dropped to the water. It wasn't often she found herself alone anymore, normally at least her sister was at her side. The water looked a lot like how she often felt, it seemed nice from a distance but when you were close you could see it wasn't so clear - it was tainted. She gave a small sigh before tossing the apple core aside, a sound behind her made her tense before she turned, her crossbow aimed at where the noise came from. "Walker or Human? Show yourself before I assume the first and shoot. I promise I won't miss."
