Caoro shakes her head. "I don't think you can until you are cleared."

[CandiKane]

"Makes sense," she says and shrugs, "You can never know who you can trust, nowadays. So should I just wait here?" She tilts her head and taps her finger against her leg

[CallaLily180]

Caoro nodded and went inside to grab Liz. "Liz there is a new visitor outside."

[CandiKane]

Candi sat on the ground waiting, writing in her journal cross-legged. She was almost completely absorbed in her writing, but was still alert to her surroundings. She hummed under her breath and wrote.

[KatherinWinter]

"new arrival? Good." Liz sets the list aside and heads outside. She sees the newcomer sitting under a tree. "Hello and welcome. I heard you are looking for a place to stay. My name is Liz. I am the leader of this little group."

[CandiKane]

"Oh!" Candi shuts her journal and sticks it in her worn blue backpack. She scrambles up and holds out her hand, "My name's Candi, Candi Gorter," she smiles, "This is amazing what you have here, I thought I'd go crazy without having someone to talk to. So I heard I have to be cleared?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Yes I have been testing the blood of the newcomers to be sure they don't carry the virus." Liz explained. She studied the girl. Candid was one of the youngest survivors she had me. It made Liz wonder how this quiet girl had survived so long.

[CandiKane]

"A virus, so that's what it was," she says quietly. She looks back at Liz, "Ok, so what do I have to do?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Just let me take a little blood. It's very quick." Liz said with a smile. She ran to grab her testing device.

[Fiambre]

Juan is finish the punching and looks surrounding to see more people have come. He is see group of unmet people digging in dirt and is satisfy the curiosity to arrive at them. Juan is look the activity. "This is garden? I am never the gardener from early times but is good for the advancement!" is scream Juan and begins to have the hearty laugh with company.

[CandiKane]

"Alright, sounds easy enough," she says and waits for Liz to return

[KatherinWinter]

Liz quickly takes a small amount of blood. She waits for the device to scan the blood. When the device flashed green. "Looks like your clear. Can you tell me what kind of skills you have? Then ill show you the apartments."

[CandiKane]

"Great!" Candi smiles, "I can write and draw. And I'm good at cooking." Candi says, then she grows more serious, "I'm pretty accurate with a knife and can set traps with almost anything." She pauses then smiles again, "I hope I can be useful to you here."

[KatherinWinter]

"Everyone's a help. I'm just trying to get an idea of who can do what. With so free people we need to make sure we cover all the necessary jobs." Liz explained as she lead Candi to the apartment building.

[CandiKane]

"Makes sense," She said as she followed Liz, "I can always try new things too, I'll do my best at whatever I'm assigned to." She looked around while walking, taking everything in with eager eyes

[KatherinWinter]

"Most of the apartments are empty. Just pick one. I've cleaned all of them but haven't been able to replace all the matteress. So if you get one with a bad mattress let me know.Ill send Juan to get you a new one." Liz explained

[CandiKane]

"Oh, it's fine. This is probably the best I've had since it happened," she said and smiled gratefully. She entered an apartment and looked around the room. She set her backpack on the mattress and sat down next to it. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief, for the first time in a long time she felt safe

[KatherinWinter]

"I'll be in the warehouse if you need Nything." Liz was glad to have Cindi settled. As she headed back out to the warehouse she wondered what to do about the pairing list Gustuva had given her. She hated the idea of forcing pairs. But Gustavus argument made sense. Being a leader was harder then she had ever imagined.

[CandiKane]

Candi took some home-made paints out of her bag and looked around at the dull walls of the apartment. "Hmmm," she said to herself. Then, she started painting the walls. Green forests exploded onto the walls with rivers and lush flowers. The sky was blue with puffy clouds to keep the sun company in the sky. Best of all, there were people on the walls, people enjoying life, people talking, picnicking in the sun, that was what Candi wished for. She finished painting and looked around her. The once dull room was now full of life. She smiled, then slapped a paint splattered hand to her forehead, "Oh my gosh, I didn't even ask Liz." She bit her lip and went outside to the warehouse to find Liz.

[KatherinWinter]

Liz sat in the warehouse staring at the list of pairs. Wondering if she could bring herself to be that kind of leader.
