Kasey sat and listened intently as the situation was explained. Despite the apparent seriousness of the situation, he couldn’t help but feel a little relived. The idea of using fake names didn’t quite sit right, but it felt good to not be worried about the people around him. Since he had started his trip, the voice had done nothing but warn Kasey about strangers. It seemed to approve of the current situation though; it hadn’t said a word since he got to the cabin. Maybe it understood the situation, or maybe it was just sleeping or something. Kasey really wasn’t too sure how they worked, but he liked to be optimistic.
“Have a safe trip” Kasey said with a smile as Dusk made his way out of the cabin. Something about him seemed to make Kasey lower his guard a little more than usual. There was a moment of silence in the cabin, it seemed as though no one knew what to say, until someone finally spoke up and claimed the bed. He smiled a little as he could feel the tension in the room weaken a little, before a man made his way through the room holding several dead hares. Kasey didn’t much care for hunting himself, but he couldn’t help feeling a little relived. He was a little worried about food since his own supplies were starting to run out, so it was good to hear that someone had the group’s best interests in mind. But since the tension had been broken for now, Kasey thought it was probably a good enough time to speak up.
“Um, I wouldn’t mind taking the first shift. Of not sleeping that is. I don’t mind, I used to pull a lot of all nighters. Oh, and my name is K- Uh, I mean, Quiet. Not quite used to this whole fake name thing yet” He said with a bit of a nervous smile. The whole idea of using a fake name seemed a little excessive to him, but if it was the way things were done then he would be happy to take part. It almost felt a little like being in a club or something like that, but with a little more danger. Kasey left all his friends behind when he left, so he wanted to make as good an impression as he could right out of the gate.
“It seems like we might be here for a bit, so why don’t we make the best of it and get to know each other a little more.” He said with another quick glance around the room. He saw that a few people around the room seemed a little tense, so he thought it might be a good idea to try and get everyone talking.
