Alright then...I guess Mason grabbed one of the blankets and made a makeshift bed before taking his jacket off and throwing it over to the side next to him. Hoping it would be there when he woke up. Mason sat down on the blanket and rolled over onto his side and shut his eyes, slowly drifting off into sleep. The chain in his hand in case he needed it at a moments notice.

She watched from her spot while ticking her head side to side like a clock. Nothing has entered so far but from the paths ahead there were banging of large objects, maybe even multiple of those creatures for all she knew, hitting around the buildings. She could just tell by the buildings rattling, pixels of dust or parts of the towers crumbling down. They weren't harmful sizes at least and would explode into more pixels like an anime Juliet had in mind. Now that she thought of it, this had a lot of things related to that anime.

She shook the thought away to focus on what was happening around her. Will was holding his axe like a teddy bear - which honestly surprised her a little cause of his thief habits - and Mason - as expected of him - built a bed for himself, both of them falling asleep. She tilted her head at his jacket that he threw off, a grin spreading on her face. Julie reached forward to it, carefully but quickly snatching it away then putting it on. It was slightly bigger than her but was definitely comfortable as she zipped it up and buried herself inside. She continued to watch like this, the pipe underneath her bent legs for easy-to-grab access.

Will was having a pleasant sleep, despite the circumstances he was in. Actually, to say it was pleasant was an understatement. It was a dream where he got what he yearned for. Having his parents beside him and he won't have to do any sort of thievery. While he enjoyed the art very well, it really was a very risky thing to do. And he only does it because he was used to it, like it had become a bad habit. However, pleasant dream turned into a hellish nightmare, as if the atmosphere of the current place was getting to him.

He would begin muttering in his sleep, arms tightening around the axe. The noises from the other paths didn't help too much. That would continue for a few more minutes before he started to calm down, the nightmare leaving.

@RainbowFactory@Polaris North
Mason went to sleep fairly quickly, the sounds of buildings crumbling and vaporizing into pixels disturbed him but not very much, the occasional roars in the distance didn't affect him much either until one of them turned out to be much louder than the others, snapping mason awake and upright, his hand clamped like a vice around the chain as his arm reared back like he was ready to swing. WHO? WHERE? HUH?....WHAT? mason blurted out at random before realizing there wasn't any immediate danger, the chain fell out of his hand before he realized his jacket was missing. Wait a minute...Hey Julie did you grab my....jacket... Mason saw Juliet curled up with his jacket zipped tightly around her. Mason simply laughed. You are adorable sometimes...I *hate* you sometimes. But you're adorable no matter what.

@Polaris North@Blizz
Juliet looked up to Mason who suddenly bolted awake from one of the roars. A smirk formed underneath the jacket as she watched him blurt out then calm down when there wasn't danger around them. She started to frown when he realized his jacket was gone, burying herself more in the jacket. He.. actually didn't do anything about it. Julie started to freeze up from what he said. "Adorable? ADORABLE?! I'm not adorable dammit!" Suddenly her pipe started flying at him as she crawled away next to Will, curling up again to hide her slightly pink face. Now this definitely wasn't something she knew he'd say, flustering him a few times after all. She tried to distract herself by looking over to Will, using a finger to tap lightly on his nose. She still wondered why he kept that type of hold on the axe...

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

Will grumbled as Mason started to yell out. While he wasn't all that bothered about sounds far away, the close proximity of them to him sure did. When Juliet tapped his nose, he opened one eye. It was obviously that he was still half-awake but he's also aware of what was happening around him. His other eye opened and then he finally registered that Juliet was wearing Mason's jacket. "What's the problem Julie? Why are you pink?" He asked, pertaining to the light blush on her face. His brain still hasn't completely started working so he was still slow.

He adjusted the hold on his axe but it was more or less the same as earlier. While it wasn't the most perfect substitute for say, a teddy bear or a fluffy pillow, but at least he was holding something. The sharp end was also faced away so it didn't harm him at all. He then turned his head towards Mason, who seems to have woken up before him but hasn't really done much.

@Polaris North@RainbowFactory

Mason just laughed and dogged the pipe that was thrown at him. Now you know how I feel Julie. Checkmate. Mason smiled mischievously before laying back down. Not bothering to go back to sleep considering he'd probably just snap back awake about 10 minutes later. He then noticed Will had woken up, with Juliet curled up near her. She's that way because I just got my revenge. he remarked with a sassy, condescending tone in his voice as he just stared up at the "sky"

@Polaris North@Blizz
Juliet stared at Will opening his eyes, quickly shifting them away to the axe as he questioned her pink cheeks. Fortunately they started to fade away at that moment. She thought of something to get away or at least shut up Mason that was talking about her, but this may be a bit risky... at least in her head anyway. She tugged on the hood a little so head shadowed over her face then pushed the axe away from Will's grip, climbing over him to bury herself in his arms instead. Julie already knew Mason wasn't comfortable with this, but what about Will? Plus he was already holding the axe that could've chopped him up at any moment, not like the girl couldn't do that to him as well, At least it comforted her to clear her thoughts about the maze and just the weird moments they're having in general. She made sure to bring the chip bag that she chose along with her so she could quietly nibble on chip pieces.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

"Revenge?" Will looked back at Juliet who had averted her eyes to the axe he was holding. It took a few more minutes for him to be fully awake and recover what little brain functions he still lacked. By this time, Juliet had pushed away his axe and then took its place in his arms. It took a moment for him to react, but instead of reacting violently and panicky like what Mason would do, he eased his arms around her and then leaned back. "Huh, did I miss something for this kind of development to happen?" He asked before following it with a light chuckle. He has a good grip of how Juliet could think so he didn't think of anything of this really.

@RainbowFactory@Polaris North

I called her adorable, she lost her cool and rand over to you. Mason said bluntly as he picked up the pipe and slid it across the ground over to Juliet. That's what you get Julie. And besides, Will *did* call you cute as well. he remarked before walking over to her and patting her on the head slowly. You could have avoided that entirely if had just Never taken my jacket He jokingly threatened her and sat down beside her

@Polaris North@Blizz
She scrunched up her nose a little when Will let his arms wrap around her. Juliet wasn't surprised he'd let that happen, she wasn't even surprised Mason called her out about it. The girl rolled her eyes at him saying that and grumbled, "I don't remember him calling me cute, but I remember him questioning me. Is that right, Will?" She looked up from the chip bag, sticking her tongue out at both of them then sat upright, letting Mason pat her head. Now that was something that almost immediately calms her down - other than being in the arms of somebody - so she forgave him quickly. With a few whips of one of the sleeves her arm would shrink into it so she could press the loose end onto Mason's face. "Hush child. It's not like you're trying to take it back nor needed it." Julie rolled her eyes then looked to the entrance of the 'camp site'. "Probably should fix that basket so we can carry the snacks on to the next paths. We might need them for stuff later. Grab the weapons thingies, too." She fixed the jacket around on her then got her pipe, tapping a nail against the rusted end before turning back to them.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

"Ah, yeah I can see that happening." Will replied to Mason with a nod. So he slept through that huh? It would've been more hilarious if he actually saw it happen but oh well. He then looked at Juliet as she asked the question of whether he called her cute or questioned her if she was cute... "Honestly, I don't remember." Even if he did call her cute, it was probably just to tease someone else. Admittedly, she was, but he'd be dead if he said that out loud so he kept it to himself. When she sat upright, however, he retracted his arms and then placed his hands on the floor. He then fondly watched the two interact with each other until Juliet brought up reality again.

Okay, time to get back to the swing of things. He stood up, his right hand now gripping the axe, and then headed for the basket. The handle was broken but other than that... "I could probably carry this around even without the handle. It isn't much of a hassle really." He said before scooping up the basket and then holding it with his left hand. Admittedly, it was a little uncomfortable, especially if he would swing his axe, but he's fine with it.

@Polaris North@RainbowFactory

I'm no less of a child than you dammit! he said before laughing. I guess you can keep it on for a while, not like there's a blizzard rolling in or anything. So go ahead. He told Juliet before grabbing some of the food still laying around and wrapped his chain around his hand in it's usual position. We ready to head out? he asked.

@Polaris North@Blizz
"You're older than me yet you have the mentality of a twe-" Juliet was about to tell Mason but took a deep breath before continuing on, "How to offend yourself without intending to 101." She sighed, rolling her eyes back for a few moments before looking back at him. "If your jacket gets ripped just by me walking around then don't say I didn't warn you, alright?" She was hoping to actually see the source of what was making all the commotion in the next pathways, and for all she knew they might have to enter a battle with one of those humanoids. Or beasts. Or just both. Or a mix of them together. She didn't care, she just wanted to make sure that something didn't happen to all of them. It made her feel like some sort of team leader, not like that would ever officially happen, but at least she was enthusiastic about it.

After just staring off into the distance for a few moments Juliet shook her head then looked around. "I think we're good now. Lets just go before I fall asleep standing again," she told them, walking to Mason and kissing his cheek before casually continuing on, swinging her arms back and forth while walking around the corners to meet up at the two paths. Of course that was another attempt to fluster him - plus to be honest she just wanted to do that - and didn't care if it was in front of Will either. Not like he'd do anything about it... other than maybe laugh.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

Will looked at the two and nodded. Yeah, he was good. With this basket in his hand and an axe on the other, he felt like he could survive for more than a while. Hopefully, he wouldn't drop any of the chips when they had to fight. He was by no means a klutz, but it would be hard to keep all of that inside. He picked up two blankets and placed it haphazardly inside the basket, just nearly enough so it wouldn't fall off. Who knew, it might come in handy.

He walked towards the two and raised his eyebrows as Juliet kissed Mason on the cheek. A grin made its way to his face but nothing more. No comments, no laughs, just that. Shrugging it off, he began making his way towards Juliet to follow her. Let's see how Mason reacts to this one.

@RainbowFactory@Polaris North I doubt even you could rip that thing just by walking aro- Mason's blood ran cold as Juliet kissed him Uh, uh um, w-wha- Uh... All Mason could do was stutter like a broken record before stumbling backwards and falling on his rear, as if he were just sitting on the ground. W-w-wWhy...WHY?! Mason managed to say before tumbling over onto his side and burying his face in his hands.

@Polaris North@Blizz
Juliet looked back, only seeing Will following her and the faints sounds of stuttering back at the camp site. With a sigh she told Will, "Wait here for a moment, alright?" then sped back over to the pathway where Mason was at. He was on the ground now, curling into a ball just as she entered. Julie would laugh while walking over to him, kneeling down next to him. "C'mon you lil' ball of fluster. We need you with us, too," she said while putting a hand on his side, lightly shaking him around. "Computer world to Mason?" She sat down on top of her bent legs then put Mason's head onto her lap to lightly peel off his hands from his face using her own fingers.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

Will nodded as Juliet ran back to the campsite where Mason had stayed. He placed the blunt head of the axe on his shoulder and kept the basket hugged near her as he waited. He could hear the stuttering of Mason and Juliet trying to comfort him. The blond waited patiently for the two to return.

@Polaris North@Polaris North

Mayday...We're goin' down... Mason weakly muttered when Juliet pulled his head into her lap, he wanted to scream until his vocal cords bled but knowing Juliet she would probably beat him until *he* bled so he didn't. I-I-hate y-y-you.... he said quietly and bluntly as his fingers were torn from his face. Just...what in the world did I do for *that*? the pipe I get but REALLY?!

@Polaris North@Blizz
She chuckled when she overheard him hating her and teased, "Yeah, I love you too," while trying best to hold back her roaring laughter, snickering during her reply. "You deserved it 'cause... you did?" Juliet joked, not wanting to say her actual thoughts on why. After all, she only did it because she wanted to and thought it was fun to mess with him - and one other reason she tried to push to the back of her mind. She didn't want this to get in the way of escaping that computer world, maybe discussing it when they're out, so Juliet kept the details to a minimum. "C'mon Sugarcake, lets hurry up before something worse than a kiss comes up," she casually told him while giving him a new nickname, lightly pulling him to his feet.
