I decide against a cheesy line I thought of in response to Miles' question, and simply say "Well, good morning, everyone," apparently, my dad and Berta were still asleep, as they weren't around at this point. I did eventually answer Miles' question with "I... guess we should look for another one of these shard things?" I didn't sound all too confident that we'd find one, given that the last one we found just sort of randomly appeared... I guess we could always search for idiots who think they can rule the world, or something, but, given that we only had one shard so far, it's not like we had a pattern established yet. I then get up off of the couch I was sitting on, and notice that the floor was a different color in the area around Miles, who apparently cleaned it... odd, though, was that this must have meant that Berta, who was an OCD clean freak, would have let it get like that... of course, it could just be the whole 'apocalypse' thing that just happened. I mean, it can't be easy keeping the floor clean at or after the end of the world, right? Maybe she just sort of gave up after the third or so riot and or break in hit this house. I then open the door, and completely forgetting breakfast at this time, say "Alright, let's get outta here. We've got a mission to do," this time, I actually sounded confident with my words, after all, if we weren't going to save the world from jerks who have other plate pieces, who will?

After a bit of conversation with Val, the others finally wake up, and Connor asks what we're going to be doing today. I think about it for a moment, and end up saying "Well... I think we've got HER trapped... so, we'll separate. Val, her pets, and Ralph will head off into the forest to find some breakfast, Connor and I will head off into the city to hopefully recruit others to help our cause, and Deravan... well, I guess he'll just follow either Ralph or Connor, his choice," I then check our captive, who was probably a late riser, and was fast asleep at this point. She occasionally twitched, but, it's not like she was going to get out of that cage any time soon. I then thought that it might benefit us to learn something more about our enemies, though, I don't think anyone really knew about them yet... I mean, they just kinda formed out of nowhere on the first day after Earth's transformation... like us. For all I knew, the wolf lady was bluffing to keep us away from their group, though, somehow... that kinda felt unlikely... either way, whatever information we could get on this group would be nice. I then head out of the cave, and towards the city that it was near, knowing that Connor would probably follow. I think I made a decent choice, given that Ralph didn't seem to like the chaos of the city, and Connor was big and intimidating... it was probably going to be tough to attack someone when they have a giant rock monster backing them up. Val would most likely be better off hunting with her keen sense of smell... and I couldn't separate her from her pets if I tried. I didn't really know that much about Deravan, even in relation to the others in my group, so, he'd probably be better off choosing to follow either one of our mini-groups.
