Time: Morning
Location: Newnan
Interacting with: Her brother mainly
Standing beside her brother, Meg fiddled with her fingers as she listened to Leann speak to the Newnan crowd in the middle of the crowd. Lately, Newnan had been feeling more and more unsafe, with the amount of walkers breaching through the walls quicker than the walls could be repaired. There was no questions to be asked, not this time. Meg looked over at the few that Leann had singled out to lead the expeditions outside - to gather people and resources alike - and tried deciding who would've been the better option.
Ash and James were two Meg got along with swimmingly. They could have a laugh, and be assured to keep a look out for the other. Meg may not have known them her entire life, but after the events of the apocalypse, she might as well have. She trusted them a lot more than she would trust many. Caesar... well, papi was not someone she would count as one of them. Sure, he was strong and was probably their best fighter. Knowing him, one look from Caesar Gonzalez was enough to send the walkers scrambling away from him.
Her decision didn't matter anyway, as Caesar himself stepped up in front of her - pointing at her like she was some zoo animal or a bloody Pokémon - before ordering her to gather her shit. "Well, rude." Meg couldn't help but huff once Caesar was out of earshot. She turned to her brother, who looked like was also thinking about who to follow. It was lucky she was able to keep her words to herself, as she was sure Caesar would've probably glared at her till her cells refused to keep her alive any longer if he had heard.
"Well, seems like Papi Gonzalez has chosen me. If I come back as a walker or with my head on a spike with him holding it, just remember me as the best human being ever." She nodded at her brother, trying to lighten the mood. He turned his brown eyes to stare at her, an eyebrow raised. Instead of staying long enough to hear what he had to say, Meg patted his upper arm once before heading off in the same direction as Caesar went, intending to grab some weapons from the Armoury closer to the centre of the town. There wasn't much Meg could grab anyway: she wasn't physically strong, she only had luck and some good aim on her side. She was best only when it came to long distance fighting. Bow and arrows were the best Meg could grab, weapons that she wouldn't stumble using while in the middle of a life or death situation. Just to be safe, Meg even tucked in her hunting knife - her father's hunting knife - into her boots. Easy to grab, and easier to hide.
The rest, Meg decided, she would grab once she had grabbed her personal items from her living quarters. If she had heard Leann correctly, there were three locations she wanted them to check out. Ash chose Carrollton while the boss handed James LaGrange herself, leaving Franklin as the remaining option. She grabbed the map and pressed it against her desk, chewing on her thumb as she tried memorising the directions.
"So you're not going to let me talk?"
The sudden words jolted the teacher out of her skin, and she turned to face her twin with an exasperated expression. "Really? You really wanted to announce your presence like a vampire?"
Sidd let out a heaving sigh, rubbing his temples and tucking his glasses into his shirt pocket. "You're going out again. You need to be careful, Caesar might be strong, but you need to look out for yourself too-"
"I know, this isn't my first time going out on a run mother." Meg turned back around to face the map, using her finger to map out the route. "Just go back to your plant or whatever it is that you do now. There's no need for you to pretend you actually care." And there was nothing else to say. Sidd would always hesitate to answer back after those words, which Meg used to her full advantage. She hastily grabbed the map in her grip and grabbed her travelling backpack from underneath her cot. Without another word, Meg left her living quarters, in the direction of the cars to wait for Caesar.
