"That doesn't...I mean....that just means that people didn't get to their phones. No one knows that they're there. Some people might have even gone to the house and not gone into the kitchen after we left. If it's just overnight we might not even need food or anything," Chase offered a little optimistically, even though he wasn't entirely sure he felt it. "I bet some people went to the tower. Obviously Oliver knows that's there." Though, with Edwin being here Oliver would have at least left a note or something, right? And he would have gone for the axe. "He probably....I dunno, remembered who was around him or something and detoured to find them so they would have ended up at the house after us anyway. And if they saw it was dark, maybe they didn't even go into the house." He'd already said that, but maybe by repeating it that would be true of everyone that wasn't with them. If Oliver was okay, then that meant Kiley was probably okay, even if he had no proof of either. "There's lots of places to hide. It doesn't mean anything. And the markers could be bait."
Felix blinked a bit at the rant, knowing it was probably optimistic bullshit, but nodded along anyway if it would make anyone feel better. The last thing he wanted was to deal with someone losing their shit if he had to depend on them overnight. He did pull his phone out, glancing at it, the lowered brightness reflecting off his face and Lennon's shoulder in his peripheral vision. Whatever the markers were, they probably weren't good. He was hit with the sudden urge to message TPTB, even if they weren't likely to respond, but not with Lennon right there. He should also message Lila, just in case she'd swiped her phone but was lone wolfing the situation.
"So, when we get down there," he started instead, knowing he was going to regret sharing his stash later, but it might be worth it if it would help to keep him off the menu overnight. "I'm assuming we're gonna do some kinda rotating guardy duty or whatever. I'm assuming fire's gonna be the priority, and we can figure out the water, maybe the sinks down there are still running. I've got a pan and dehydrated coffee if people need to stay awake. We can pass my mug around, or whatever if nobody brought cups. We sorta just picked this place because we weren't sure if these things were dumb enough to cross water or yeet themselves off cliffs to get us, but who the fuck knows at this point."
