Cerry didn't appreciate Nix's snickering, despite his actions being a harmless prank. Being laughed at or criticized hit home hard, and Cerry pouted and crossed her arms as Nix continued to laugh. Still, she was known to be bright, and Cerry ceased being upset upon hearing Nix's wise words. Truly, one false step could end your life and you would join the ranks of the living dead. Everyone had to be on their toes, alert and ready for anything. "You're right, Nix. The academy has been... on edge since the incident. I suppose I can let this one slide!" She laughed along with Nix, and maybe Bluu if he decided too.

As The two students began giggling, Bluu was... A bit confused. He usually wasn't in situations like this and was unsure how to react. "So, now that we're all well and good, what do you say to a bit of fun? We could go out in the woods and go hunting, we could...uh...we could...do that card game thing?" Bluu wasn't sure on what to do. To him, running around and exploring was his idea of fun. But these kids were used to a confined space. Being someone with little to no boundaries, he wasn't quite sure what they would do. "Have you explored everything around here? If not, we could go look around a bit, see what we can find."

Angela sat herself in her favorite hallway and lend against the wall reading her book while practicing her vanish. The reason it was her favorite hallway is because no one came through this hall and the few that do pass within seconds. Today however that was not the case, there seemed to be quite a ruckus going on in a nearby door. She thought about sewing their mouths shut or at the very least shushing them but it wasn't like it was her hallway so she got up and tried talking to them to see if they were going to leave soon. She practicly was millimeters away from touching Bluu and watch as Nix pulled Cerry down and they both began to giggle. "Well I don't see how falling down is funny, was there something I missed beforehand." Angela said behind Bluu, with her head over his shoulder, as she popped into existence. She hated small talk but she found that she usually gets what she wants if she isn't so direct or as other people say if she is polite.

Bluu looked over to his left to see a new girl had popped into existence with her head on his shoulder."Oh. Hey. Yeah, there was a bit of a scene before, but it wasn't anything major. Don't worry about it to much, it'll make you go bald." he said pointing to his head, albeit mostly covered by his leather mask. "So anyways, anything around here worth exploring that you haven't seen already? Old ruins and whatnot." He turned his head once more towards the new girl."What about you? Know any good places?"

"We haven't explored the entire city yet. The academy has tried to make small pushes into the city, but it's much harder than it looks." Cerry replied to Bluu. In truth, the school hadn't done much to retake sections of the city, and only those with superb luck or skill were sent out on runs to gather supplies to replace the dwindling stores. She had went out on a run before, but Cerry was only placed with the group to provide overwatch. Taking only pot shots at the undead approaching the brave students, Cerry never really had a chance to explore the city in the new form it took upon the outbreak: rotting, crumbling despair. When Angela had popped out of nowhere, Cerry took a step back. The girl always had a way of surprising someone, and her semblance was enough proof to that. "Oh, Angela. Don't mind it. Nix decided to play a prank on me, and pulled me down to the ground after he ran into a door. I don't find it as funny as Nix might, but it still feels good to laugh once in what seems an eternity." Cerry replied, flashing the newcomer with a smile of her own.

"i wouldn't mind exploring I wouldn't say no to a fight either but that's besides the point" Nix said as the newcomer made herself known. "you gonna come too?" Nix said tilting his head slightly. Making apparent his Faunus features as his hair fell to one side revealing his fox ears.

Cerry pondered where the group could go while Nix asked Angela if she wanted to join their little expedition. There were many sections of the city, and the girl was calculating a good place to search for supplies. "We have several places we can search. Firstly, the city has a residential area where I imagine many household supplies are, but I also believe it'll have a larger amount of the dead." The few that always went out on expeditions and search parties always hated their mission if they were slated to make their way to the residential area. It was filled with undead, mainly because the warnings had told people to stay indoors. If they didn't die of starvation, they died because how everyone will most likely end: being attacked and bit.

"Secondly, the shopping districts would have valuable gear such as Dust, but just like the residental area, it would be hard to reach the streets with the dead on our heels. Most stores would've been looted at the beginning of the outbreak as well, but I'm certain that there might be something or more still out there." Cerry replied, placing her hand on her chin as if she was in deep thought. Being an intellectual, that was often the case for the girl, but she hadn't had the time to be just another academic student these days.

"There is another option, but it carries the most risks out the three. We can begin an undertaking to clear the streets and reclaim our homes, as well help anyone we find back to the academy. It would be nearly impossible for us to take the city back on our own, but we do have the power to clean up some areas with the four of us." She placed her hands on her hips, as if Cerry was proud of what she managed to think up as various plans of action for their party. As she lifted her head up in pride, her green beret fell backwards, revealing the girl's bear ears, but Cerry quickly snatched it before the beret was dirtied by the ground and put it back on her head.

"I vote for the housing district. They likely haven't been looted, and household supplies likely are a luxury around here. Anybody object?". About this time is when he noticed the girl's beret fall off. Yet she manged to catch it with impressive reflexes. Bluu never really understood the point of hats. They could the sun sometimes, but you could just put your hand up... Whatever. Maybe he'd try one out sometime.

Angela thought for a moment thinking of all the factors. Yes it was true that the Shopping district was most likely looted already but big brand stores always had a abundance of supplies there and most people that looted the area didn't get far before they were attack either a zombie or possible even a other human. Then there was the living complex, it would probably be less crowded with the undead but not as many useful things. All that would probably there would be food and water and maybe a little dust. They would also have to raid a lot of house if we assume that each house had a family of 4 and was supplied with food for at least a week. There could be potential survivors within a house and they could prove useful fighting against the undead."I think we should go to the shopping district. There might be a lot of undead but there's only so much a person or even a group can carry so it should still have plenty of supplies. The increased amount of undead also might scare off others that would otherwise loot the area as well. If we go to the housing there will probably be less of everything we currently need but there could be survivors in the area, if were looking to take more people in. We could also, instead of sneaking around, use the opportunity to kill some undead and retake a bit of land while looking for supplies in either area, regardless we will have to kill the undead eventully, besides the more we kill today the less we have to kill tomorrow." she said in a monotone voice, not grasping how big the number of undead there are. she knew the number was big but to her it was just a number.

The more nix thought about it the more he realized he just wanted to fight something. Spending this much time copted up was getting to him. He was his best after all when on the battle field. "I just really want to fight so cerry your the deciding vote, which means your vote is beary important" nix said as he commenced the jazz hands. After fixing his hood to cover his ears again he smiled.

It was a three, or rather, two way tie between her decisions. Bluu wanted the housing district, while Angela wanted to explore the city's various stores and shops. Nix's vote wasn't enough to break a tie, for all he wanted to do is fight, so it was left up to Cerry to break the tie for their group. She glanced back at the storage room, and placed her hand on her chin, doubtlessly thinking on what they should do. "Honestly, I think we should go visit the shopping district. The academy has enough supplies for now, and it is a fact that we could always try growing our own food in the future or some other way that would make the school a self-sustaining civilization, but we have no way to create Dust, which many stores sold. It is a mined material, and we have no way to replenish the rarity of the mineral. I believe we should head to the stores in order to gather as much of it as we can before we run out of Dust." Cerry looked at her three other companions for approval.

Eventually the vote was decided on the Shopping District. "Alright. Majority wins. You guys ready now? Or should I wait for you guys there?" He looked around expectantly. He didn't know where the shopping district was, but he could probably find it with enough time. It couldn't be that hard to find right? He leaned back against the wall, waiting for the others.
