Ariethous brough extra clothing- Along with some random items.

Nabih brought a water filter, flashlight, $60, lighter, matches, canned goods, a few different water bottles, a phone, batteries, a portable charger, and a map of the city they be running to- He knows what's actually important to bring. XD

Here's an important question actually- Who in the friend group became friends first? And how did it grow?

-

Basically- Who started the friend group and who did they then bring into it/who did it spread to from there?

Tyler's fully equipped to go living in the woods. The city, not so much. My feral hyena-child brought nothing more advanced than a lensatic compass.

I feel like Tyler's been a long-time member, because I want it to be well-known in the town that he was going to run away eventually anyway. But he was definatly not the instigator or any kind of recruiter. He sees himself as the un-fun distant older cousin that's there to make sure no one tries jumping through trees like a Naruto ninja for funsies.

I imagine Eva just was recruited into the friend group one day and just decided to stay

I feel like Axel would have been one of the first to join the friend group, then he dragged in Leroy (because he's the only one insane enough to bring a big, loud, annoying meanie to the group XD), and I feel like Ethan would be a newer member that already gets along with (mostly) everyone. I don't know who would have brought him in, someone probably saw him curled up in an alleyway trying to escape his abusive boyfriend and took pity on him... and then he just stayed. I don't know who would have done it though.

We need to decide who all were friends before the big friend group formed- Just so that then we can decide which of those friend groups started the major one by reaching out to either one of the people in the other friend groups and then that person/people bringing in more of their own friend group or by reaching out to one of the other friend groups and then spreading it to the other friend group.

I'm good with Tyler and Ethan getting along in one of the groups, if Lost is cool with that.

Oh yeah, and the silent duo is definitely a thing now. If at some point Axel and Ethan just start starring at each other, know that they are communicating through silence and friendship. XD

They're also the purely emotional duo, if you need help with emotions I recommend them (I mean, one of the nicknames for soul users is literally the therapist so...)

Yep! I think they'd get along quite well. ^^

Now I cannot get this scenario out of my head: School is happening, normal day. Kids are talking, general stuff is happening. Then in walks this banged-up Ethan, no one pays any attention. He goes and does the anime protaganist thing, and gets a seat by the nearest and only window that's still inexplicably open. Axel just so happens to be sitting next to that seat, and the two stare. Both nod, simultaniously, and the ultimate broship is thus formed.
