David thought, in the first ten minutes of being in the room, that since he didn't die in the apocalypse, he'd be killed through hugs. Kate evidently knew he was coming, and addressed him as 'David' so it soon caught on to the rest. Jacob was introduced to the group and slowly began to run with their program, fitting in with their flow of conversation. Tyler was sitting in the lap of Mari, playing with her bleached hair, most of which had been trimmed down.
No one asked about Sabrina, all coming to the same conclusion that if she wasn't here, she wasn't ever going to come.
"So have you heard from anyone else at all?" David asked, cutting into one of their mindless conversations.
"Uh..." Wes started, suddenly looking incredibly guilty. "Ian came to check in with us at some point in the beginning. We'd take turns going out for supplies, sometimes multiple at once since we don't always stay at Joven's house. One day it was Ian's turn to go out and he didn't return."
"Oh," David said quietly. He and Ian had been good friends, aside from the on-screen banter and teasing. They'd been too busy that past year, though, so they didn't get much of a chance to see each other. Man, how he wished he had worked something out then...
"My car shut down from the lack of use or else I would've driven to Matt Raub's house to check on him and his wife," Joven added.
"I visited Olivia's house on one of my supply runs and she wasn't there." From the faces of everyone around her, it seemed as though this was the first time Mari brought it up. She shrugged tiredly, "Her house was near one of the stores, I thought I should've checked."
"Um, this may be stupid, but has anyone visited the Smosh office?" Jacob spoke up. "I mean, I wouldn't know how far away it is... but what if some people camped out there? It would be like a house with a bunch more random supplies, wouldn't it?"
"It would have been a 20-minute drive," Wes recalled.
"Which could either mean it's a long walk or traffic was just that bad," Taylor said, leaning onto Wes' shoulder. It seemed as though they'd gotten back together, but David guessed it made sense; the fear of losing someone can bring you closer together. He was positive Wes had never stopped loving her.
"I wouldn't know, I've only been a couple times," Peter said.
"From here? 30 minutes, maybe 40 depending on how slow we walk," Mari answered.
"I don't think we should do it today. It's been a long day as is, and if there's people there who've lived this long, they'll be fine for another few days," Taylor said.
The rest of the group nodded in agreement. Jacob looked as though he wanted to ask something, however.
"Jacob, you joining us?" Joven asked first.
"I mean..." The teen shrugged.
"I can watch over Tyler, it's ok," Kate interrupted. "Taylor is welcome to join me too."
Everyone decided that tomorrow they could meet up again. Until then, the housing groups decided to split off to go home. Besides, the weather was getting somewhat cooler so David thought it would be best to grab his and Tyler's jacket, and let Jacob, being the introvert he is, have some time to himself.
Tomorrow could either be a success or cause more worry. That thought alone kept several people awake that night. There was a part of David that made him want to sprint there in the moment, to see if maybe he could find Shayne, or Keith, or possibly even Noah. Or what about Damien, their missing Smosh Games member? Through the different houses, the group were split through not having their hopes up or hoping for the best.
