Around Town | Late Thursday Morning

[knife_bender]

Okay, well, it had been pretty well established that patrolling the town was useless, but what else were people like Diego supposed to do? It had been hammered in his head since birth to take action, even if the efforts were futile.

Which probably also explained Five's determination to stop the apocalypse even though he had nothing to go on.

So, yeah. Walking around town yet again. For some reason. Maybe he'd find a hole to jump in.

[For a few!]

After Annie's class -- during which she had felt completely stupid and useless -- what choice did she have but to join in on patrolling?

Besides, if she and Diego stuck together, Annie figured they'd at least...end up in a hole together, worst case. Right? (Which was also a comforting thought as far as Rey -- like Summer had said, at least she'd probably found John. That was...something.)

"We should get some rope." It sounded dumb but it wasn't like she had a lot of other, functional plans right now.

Steve was pretty sure that the raccoons that they'd interviewed at the station this morning were the ones they'd interviewed yesterday, only with fake mustaches and glasses and that he'd had to deal with that without Danny yelling about it and tossing his hands in the air and complaining was just...

Not his favorite thing. So he'd gone for a walk.

"Hey," he said with a tiny smile when he saw Diego. "Good to see you."

Steve didn't have many friends and some of them kept disappearing, which was not great for the ol' abandonment issues.
