[[ooc: Backdated to shortly after this mess with Newt gets resolved and they're back inside the Gates.]

All ya'll talking shit about how we all gotta work together 'cause we're stuck here together best listen the hell up. You want to work together? FINE. First you gotta to is tell the rest of us what hell you can do. No more fucking surprises like some seven foot leopard man!

The only way to pool our goddamn resources are if we know what the fuck they are! And if you can do shit like that, then it's a goddamn resource!

I don't care where the hell you picked to hole your asses up, but if you're gonna talk to me and everyone else about how we should kum-by-fucking-ya, then you best be offering up your skills so we can take full advantage of them.

And don't make runs outside the walls alone no more without telling someone where the hell you're gonna be so we know to keep an eye on you! Hell, I don't even go hunting without telling Glenn I'll be out! You got people to rely on so rely on them!

Fucking hell, people!

[Daryl's angry because he cares. And he hates that he cares.]

[That was a lot of shit to take in all at once, but that last part?]

The next full moon's in three days and you didn't think it was important to bring that up to everyone until now?

[Daryl swept his arm around to indicate the whole of the survivors, whether they were there or not.]

Someone's gonna have to lock you in that vault, get you food and water during the day, and watch it just to make sure you don't wreck your way out on account of it being weak enough with age to bend under however much power you got behind those claws of yours!

[He stepped right in to Alex's personal space, meeting his eyes unless Alex looked away.]

Were you just gonna starve yourself for three goddamn days? Take it all in on the first day and hope you don't go through it on the first night? And who the hell was gonna let you out? Those things don't open from the inside!

[ He flinches at that, because... Well... He hadn't thought. He exhales, shoulders sagging, but he mans up and maintains eye contact with Daryl; even in the face of his fury (and it was both mighty and justified). ]

I don't have to be in for days... just before sundown that night... and I would just hunt the day after.

[His brows knit and he shifts, but still doesn't look away or step back. He couldn't fault the other man for demanding answers, nor did he take the posturing in a particularly personal way; he'd earned it, after all. ]

And I hadn't considered that the door wouldn't hold... back home it wasn't an issue. I would go out into the desert and hunt until I exhausted myself, but I don't have that option here unless you want me to play chew toy on the local zombie population.

[ He falls silent and when he speaks next, he still sounds calm, but there is a plaintive quality to it. ]

I'm sorry. I should've come forward sooner, but I didn't. [ He exhales sharply, his bangs puffing out of his eyes. ]

I'm open to suggestions... the absolute last thing I want is for any harm to come to anyone else here. We're in enough shit as it is...

[Zombie? Was it what the kid was calling the walkers? What kind of made up word was that? Well... whatever...

He didn't really want to suggest tying the kid up. No one deserved that. At the same time, though, they might need a better place than just a bank vault that wouldn't hold.]

There's catacombs under the city. We find a way in, drop at the far side of the city from the rest of us... maybe drop some meat in a little to the south of where we drop you so you hunt that instead of trying to find a way out... If the vault don't work.

Awww, he's yelling at Beth in that icon. ;___;

Most of his yelling icons are from when he's yelling at Beth. Made some great faces.
