- >After a quick meal and a rest, you're approached by one of your rescuers
- "You came from Cleveland, right?"
- "That's right...took about a day and a half but we got out."
- "Well, you're lucky we came along when we did. Your boat was in pretty bad shape."
- >You glance over your shoulder an notice that your boat has begun to sink
- "Yeah...it really was..."
- "Anyway...we're running around looking for survivors. There's a shelter in Toledo. We'll take you to Erie. There should be others there to help you."
- "Thanks. We were headed to Erie, anyway."
- >After two more hours, you finally reach land
- >There are refugees and volunteers everywhere
- >Some of the volunteers direct groups of survivors
- >Most of the survivors get into buses that are bound for Toledo
- >The others, who are too injured to go anywhere, are helped into medical tents
- >Some blankets cover those who didn't make it
- >You shake your head
- >Most of these people probably don't even own fluffies
- >They're probably citizens of Cleveland
- >They made it out of the city, but weren't fortunate enough to be saved
- >Fluffies have certainly made their mark on the world
- >After nearly an hour of waiting, your group is directed toward a bus
- >You board, but have to stand
- >It's packed to capacity and some people can't move even an inch
- >The bus begins to move, and for the first time in the past 4 and a half days, you crack a genuine smile
- "Sunsplash...we're finally going home!"
- "Dat good...Sunspwas tiwed..."
- >You glance over at Anon
- >Starsplash is asleep in his arms
- "Hell of a weekend, right?"
- "You can say that again..."
- "It wasn't THAT bad, was it Marcus? I mean...nothing worked when Disneyland opened..."
- "Yeah...but when Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't shit all over the tourists."
- >You both laugh
- >Jen gives a weak smile
- >You almost forgot...
- >Cleveland's basically been erased from the map
- >You think for a minute
- "Hey...Jen. What are you gonna do after this?"
- "I really don't know...Cleveland's gone, I don't have siblings...my parents are in hospice..."
- >You whisper to Sunsplash
- "Hey, Sun...you like Jen, right?"
- "Jennifuw is nice wady...Sunspwas wike hew!"
- "Hey...uh...I got a pretty big house...I mean...lots of space I'd never use..."
- "Are you saying..."
- "...*shit, this is awkward* yeah...you can stay with me. We'll be like, uh...room mates or some shit."
- >The biggest smile you've ever seen from anyone appears on her face
- "If I could move I'd probably hug you."
- >Anon chimes in
- "GROUP HUG ONCE WE REACH THE SHELTER!"
