generic jamjar voice testing thing

[Soooooooo.... Rhys really shouldn't have gone out on that supply run. It was just to the next block, where a grocery store was, because the grocery stores somehow still had power and occasional cans of ... food. products. food products that made a Helios cafeteria meal look like the freshest, best cooked thing in the world.

But food was food, and none of the people crammed into the crumbling office-building-turned-temporary-living-quarters were ready to starve or eat monsters yet (yet). And Rhys drew the short straw.]

Just go to the grocery store, it'll be fiiiiine. [This guy is too old to be mockingly repeating things other people said to him while he's looking through back corners of a shop for dusty, overlooked cans to shove into his backpack.

He's got a... pipe? something long and metal clutched nervously in his left hand (the fleshy one) while he reaches up to feel around on top of shelves with his right (the metal, more immune to rat bites one).]

This is stupid. Why am I the one doing this?

[What's stupid is not paying attention to your surroundings when you're alone and unprotected.]
