[Wow kids don't get snippy

The next room is, thankfully, empty of bodies. But it's also a lot dustier, and looks like it wasn't used. It's full of boxes, and if hey are looked through, they are full of CDs.

Obviously the people who moved in just dumped all the CDs in here, since they had no need for them. But there are a lot of them, and Rin could probably find a few bands she likes.]

[fuckthemancers]

[You know who doesn't know what the fuck CDs are]

[This guy]

[Zulf picks one up and stares at it blankly.]

Rin, do you know what these are?

[hellpyre]

[It's okay, Zulf. You're forgiven for not knowing.

But you're not forgiven for being a jerk.

Ever. :|]

... CDs. Uhm-- they're discs. They hold information. These ones are music.

[She kneels down and starts digging through the pile, finding band names and other artists she recognizes, but something makes her frown and stop to stare at one of them for a long moment.]

[fuckthemancers]

[You're a jerk too, ok]

Really? [Considering they all live with Colin in the same general area, this shouldn't be surprising as it is. Still, Zulf can't help but be interested. He browses through a few of the others, not understanding a bit of what's said... before noticing Rin pausing.]

...What's wrong?

[hellpyre]

[She knows she is.]

... they're all in English.

[And of course she can hardly read English, so she can't translate, nor can she tell where these came from.

But there is a packing label on one of the discarded boxes, which she reaches for and tears off. Maybe it won't matter in the end, but she wants to know where this place used to belong to.]

I'm gonna take some back.

[fuckthemancers]

[It's obviously a language she knows somewhat, so Zulf just gives a nod.]

Alright. I'll carry one of the bags then so you can carry the box.

[hellpyre]

[Enough to tell it apart from similar languages at least. English is a required class in school, she just sucks at it.]

Okay. Lets get outta here. I'd like to be able to eat some time in the next week...

[fuckthemancers]

I don't think we should leave so quickly... And I'm not saying that to be cruel, I know you can't stand the smell.

I just think that even if we are immune, we still might be carrying some of the disease out with us.

[hellpyre]

... what should we do then? It's not like we got a hose and a bucket of bleach near by.

[fuckthemancers]

Just wait until we hear back from the others. We have to take into consideration the rest of the group.

You're the one who said we have doctors, after all, and three of them are a part of the group. It's their expertise I would rely on.

[hellpyre]

... r-right. Okay.

[Well, she's prepared to get yelled at. Again. But after that...]

Should we go wait by the front then?

[fuckthemancers]

Yes, I suppose we should.

You've picked all of these that you want to bring with you?

[hellpyre]

Yeah. Let's go.

[fuckthemancers]

[Zulf slings his pack back over his shoulders again and starts to head out of the room to the entrance. He gives a sigh.]

They're going to be so aggravated with us... To put it lightly.

[hellpyre]

[Rin gets her own pack on, hefting the box so she can follow him.]

That's my life like... every day. I can handle it.

[fuckthemancers]

...Have you thought about changing your behavior so that it stops happening every day? Perhaps every other day would be ideal.

[hellpyre]

[Rin just gives him a sad smile over her shoulder.]

Idiots can only move forward.

[And... that's all she's going to say about it before they get to the entrance to wait.]
