Survival Of The Fittest

Glenn was more than a little surpised when he was pulled onto his feet by Marie, bending over to pick his daypack and weapon up. Looking back over toward Sarge as well with a small smile, and a nod.

"Yeah, you're more than welcome to come along with us if you want."

((Marie, not Venka ))

"Come on!" she said, grabbing at his hand as she had done with Glenn.

The Sarge was surprised as Marie grabbed his hand and pulled him along with the other two. It was odd, almost like she was a small child, leading her uncomfortable homosexual parents into a town hall meeting in upstate Mississippi.

Wow, what a fucked-up little analogy, where the hell'd I get that from? One too many whacks on the head, I guess.

Sarge let himself be pulled for a bit, and then extracted his hand. Again, he let out a bit of a bositerous chuckle.

"Yeah, I'll come with you guys. It sure beats sitting around by yourself. I suppose for now, that's probably one of the worst things you can do. We'd better get a move on, though. We're heading to the gazebo, you said? Heh. Watch us get there and it'll be covered in blood or something."

Sarge laughed, again realizing after he stated his joke that maybe, it wasn't all that funny. Shrugging, he looked at the other two.

"So...have you seen anyone familiar while you've been wanderin' the island?"

Marie just raised an eyebrow as she started to move ahead. Perhaps she was being too odd for them. Oh well. As long as they didn't shoot her or something.

((<_< ;; Edited. No one saw that... that's what I get for thinking about multiple at once.))

Glenn simply shook his head being pulled along as he overlooked the two he supposed where to be his allies for the time being. After a moment, also removing his hand as Sarge spoke of what probably awaited them when they got to the Gazebo, he hoping in the back of his mind that it wouldn’t be true… but there was the chance that it, of course it could be true.

Readjusting his bag, he glanced off toward the other male when he questioned them of seeing anyone. “I saw Jacob Starr down at the river… I was trying to find a place to hide out for a little while. Let me gather my thoughts and all, when I almost walked on him. He had been attacked this girl with a knife, and when she fell into the river he took her gun and planted one right between her eyes.” Shuddering he glanced toward his moving feet, the vision of it all still running fresh in his mind.

Marie stopped walking for a moment as she remembered the naked boy's name.

"Adam!" she blurted out, sticking her finger in the air like she happened upon an ingenious idea or something.

"I ran into this guy named Adam, at the bathrooms. That's been it, besides Glenn and Chi, and now you."

"Adam? Kind of tall, with redish hair?" He asked, the name quickly making him picture another member of the hockey team he had seen at many of the games.

"Haha, yeah, red hair..." Marie laughed again, recalling her first encounter with a person in the game.

"And no clothes."

Sarge looked at Glenn with a look of surprise and shock, and then looked back to Marie with an absolutely confused expression his face.

"Dodd? You saw Dodd wandering around without any clothes? What the hell? Are you kidding me? Dodd's like the most self-conscious guy on the team...he always goes home to shower, never does in front of the team, or anything. Hates even taking off his shirt..."

Sarge then realized what that meant, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You saw him NAKED? Oh MAN, he must have been as red as his hair..."

Marie's face turned bright red, but she didn't know why. It wasn't her embarrassing moment or anything.

"Yeah, bathroom facility has showers..."

Glenn found himself laughing as well, but only lightly, he only knew Adam from school and the one or two classes they shared, as well as through Fred. And though he had spoken to him before, it was rather funny to confuse over which twin was which though he had just adopted to calling them both Hughes, he couldn’t say he was really a good friend of his.

“I’ll make sure to dodge that place then…” He mused, grinning somewhat still as he continued to walk along.

((Continued in: Walking into the House of Blood...))

"Ha! Your loss then," Marie turned back to Glenn, walking backwards, "Those are probably the nicest looking bathrooms I've even seen! Though, Adam's choice on showering alone with no one in his group was a pretty risky one. If I was in a group, I would've gladly taken advantage of those. But, I wasn't, and I really can't go back there without having a laughing fit."

Marie turned back around, looking for this gazebo they were headed to.

"Is that it, up there?

Looking up at the gazebo, Eddie nodded to his two companions.

"Looks like the place. At least, it looks like every other gazebo I've ever seen!"

Grinning, he began to walk up the hill towards the gazebo.
