Who: Holland March + open, Holland + Huaisang
What: March spends some time contemplating, talks distilling with Huaisang
When: Nov 2nd
Where: Community hall
Content Warnings: usual cw for alcoholism
His supplies are running low. There's only so much you can scavenge in a place like this, but when you chain smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish eventually what you can scrounge up is going to disappear. He's got a little left, sure, courtesy of a gas station raid and the basement Huaisang's got, but supplies aren't infinite.
It gets him thinking. Makes him antsy. March enters the community hall like he usually does, a frequent visitor like most of the small little community they've all managed to put together, but he's never really done much. Drank some coffee, chatted. It's hard to tell if he even realizes he's the village idiot.
Today, though, he's set up in a little corner and is making sure his gun is cleaned along with sipping his morning caffeinated sludge. He's less animated than usual, less talkative, simply staring into space as his hands go through the motions. If not interrupted, he'll eventually speak.
"We're really fucked here, huh? Completely." Holland knows he should curve the negativity, but it's starting to get to him more than he'd like admit. He's been adamant they're all probably going to die within the month since day one but there's less of a joking tone towards it this time.
He wants to help sure. Pitch in, even. Mostly he's just worried about how tiny his booze stash is getting.
After coffee there's a far less depressing revelation, said just as solemnly.
"...Should I hunt?"
"We gotta do something."
March doesn't bother to announce himself when he opens the door to Huaisang's place, spending far more time there than he probably should. His scarf is taken off, the hat is dumped unceremoniously onto the floor.
"Hey. Huaisang? Huaisang, we gotta do something. You know what I did today? Math. You know what that math was for?"
He's already flopping onto the nearest available surface, aviators still on.

"We...might not be completely fucked." Levi frowns. "We can survive here but...I don't know about anything else.
"We should probably start hunting soon, though."
no subject
But he answers quickly, frowning.
"You can survive, maybe, I'm meant for better things. Greener pastures. Literally."
no subject
He doesn't sound very optimistic, though.
no subject
He wouldn't be opposed to literal green pastures, now that he's thinking about it.
"Levi, right?"
no subject
He nods, "Yeah. I don't remember your name, though.
They've only really met once, right? He thinks that's right. When this guy was obviously drunk and shouting at the moon or something.
no subject
No. Yeah, no, he totally has. Vaguely. March's eyes narrow considerably, staring right at the kid and boring holes into him as he tries to figure out where they've talked. He has very little memory of that night and it's pretty clear.
no subject
"Um...d-did you need something?"
no subject
"Like a conversation conversation."
no subject
no subject
"Beginning of last month?" He specifies.

From his tone of voice there's absolutely no remorse or shame. He does, however, wave a little.
