☠ 𝚃𝚆𝙳: 𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝟻 𝙿𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝟺 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Location: Camp Mexico Beach Weather Forecast: Dawn at 5:57 A.M. - Dusk at 7:41 P.M. - High: 87F, Low: 72F - Winds SW at 4mph - Gusting to 10mph - No rain - Cloud Cover: 26% - Visibility: 9miles. Notes: Okay, gonna start moving things towards the funeral now. So that time thing might get wonky as people get finished up. Those attending the funeral make sure to refer to post to know if your character gets cleared to show up at the meeting point. Should be cleared for everyone to but make sure to remember how long each character had to prepare and get ready before being allowed to leave from work to get there. Ash went last round because he had nearly an hour to get prepped. Rest had much less time. So go back, check the older posts if you don't have it written down and act accordingly. Also, if you need to, go back through the posts to remember where the meet up point is. Those playing more than one character - Watch yourself. Seeing bleeding of thoughts from one character to another. (As if they have some magical insight about what might be going on with another - This is considered a Meta and Godmod so be careful.)

Administration (A): Gunny nodded but didn't say anything. Roy however did. "The X.O. is a walking Human Lie Detector. Worked NCIS and specialized in interrogation before this shit storm. Why he is where he is," Roy explained as Maddoc chewed on his cigar.

"Kid, shut the fuck up," Maddoc finally said as Roy cuffed him and the kid made a comment. "Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash..."

"Checkpoint 2.0..." Roy added as he placed a firm hand on the kids shoulder as his other remained on Hunters cuffed hands.

"You will be in lockup until we convince a tribunal. That will take 24-72 hours to clear schedules. Until then, it's solitary other than your guards," Gunny finally said before gesturing with his head to get the man out of his office.

"That sorry was a little late kid, last ditch don't count for shit in this place," Ray sad as he turned Hunter and started walking him. Maddoc turned and flung the door open and stepped into the hallway. Roy lead the man out into the hallway, waiting for Maddoc to shut the door and take the lead.

Downstairs things were going better. At least partially. "Yeah, Medic works for me. And I am pretty sure General was a more forced thing. Story goes they called him Dragon, old day Army name but General ended up being what he accepted. Something about Dragon never sat right with him, don't know why." There was a slight shrug from Medic.

"Dude! Don't want ya moving until we get the stretcher," he said but sighed as Alexander moved. He had said he didn't want him moving before but some people did what they wanted when they wanted. Granted he couldn't really blame the guy, it was wet and from what Alexander was saying, he felt fine but still.

Letting out a short breath Medic nodded. "Rolo is a bit of a handful but she don't mean nothin'. But the show itself ain't half bad. I mean it isn't any Fresh Prince but still," he said with a chuckle before looking towards the door as the girls came back. "Thank you," he said to the both of them before taking over and putting the lock on the wheels. Then he remembered the stairs. "Shit.. Okay, wait," he said before peaking his head out into the hallway. "Rolo, got your keys?"

"Oh no! I ain't gettin' in trouble!"

"General said emergency only, man down is that, fork them over sugar before I wrestle them out of you," he said. She groaned but handed them over. "Alright on the gurney," he said to Alexander and held out both arms to help the man get on. Once he was, he motioned for Thalia to take the front and steer. It would only take one hand. "Down the hall to the right this time. End, then unlock the door. Another hallway, to an elevator."

Thalia can bunny from this point Rolo and Medic to push to the elevator and upstairs. It will put you out behind the Generals office. The group will make it to the outside of Admin by end of this round. (Will not see Hunter down the street.) Suggest Sigil and Onl get together and talk out any specifics. The two obviously will not get to the take off point this round.

Water Repair Shop (G): You two are done and can move out this round. You will be able to make it back to the hospital this round and put things away. Before you do though, Lisa will slip on some wet on the boat, roll against Dex. If you pass she catches herself without problem. If she fails, it is a simple ass busting and she will be able to get back up afterward, with wet pants mind you, and head out. Back in the hospital, Manny will need a roll on the Minor Fear Table. No matter the result Manny is good to leave the Hospital when the time comes and get ready for the funeral and get there by end of this point. Lisa is all clear in the basement and getting things put away this round. Once she is done with that, she will know to locate Mary to see what now.

Supply (R): Things are going good now in supply. Things are calm and the mouse has vanished into whatever hole he crawled out of. After a few DoLittle, who took the back streets to supply and wouldn't be seen by the others, walks into to Supply and rings the front bell. "Nikki! You in here?" she called out.

Amelia will be able to leave this round and get to the meet up point. She would not notice Hunter down the road on her way from Supply to the meet up point.

Streets of CMB (I4 -> L5): Heading out of Administration they started walking down the main road East. "Your file stated you were fuckin' military. You know the basic kid, you know the punishment for dereliction of duty. You keep smiling, joking, running your fucking mouth. I don't think I can help you anymore kid. Don't even know if your worth it. You said you'd do anything to keep your dog and you couldn't even be on time to work. That makes you a liar and a man who doesn't keep his word. This is on you, there's no going back now."

Ash will be able to get from where he is inside, showered this round, he will not get to the meeting point this round.

Thana chuckled a bit and nodded. Mars seems fittin', that's fer sure. And I prefer that to Sportacus," Thana admitted. She did and this whole old gods talk was kind of nice. Made her want to hit the library later and see what they had. She hadn't taken time to read in so long, besides paperwork. "God I need to hit the library later tonight, see if'n I can find anythin'. Wanna read up more now," she said before glancing over to Nigel for a moment.

"And nah, pretty common these days I would think, at least when ya wanna do things silently. Prefer guns only if'n I gotta," she said agreeing. Granted Thana didn't know how to wield a sword but she was damn good with a knife and hand to hand. Perhaps sword fighting would be something she could get into. Let her spend some times with Thalia and let the two catch up in a way they worked best for them. Fighting. It was how they first bonded, taking Eden out. She had lost Gavin that day, Thalia had lost Lola, but the two became friends over time. It worked. Neither were replacements but it was good to have someone new when you lost someone.

Thana caught Ash calling and smiled seeing him. That was until he stopped and she understood why. She took a step back and laughed. "Yeah, keep yer ass on that side of the road until you wash. Damn... Fergot how bad that duty was," she said before looking over at Nigel. "Thinkin' you lucked out getting' duty with me instead of that," she said motioning over towards Ash. She was about to say more when something else caught her eye.

Turning her head she spotted her uncle and behind him Roy. It wasn't until Maddoc stepped slightly to the side that she spotted Hunter. "What in the sugar free fuck did he do already...." Thana grumbled under her breath. She hadn't expected the kid to last and had been on the fence about him joining camp but she hadn't expected cuffs the first day. "Thinkin' we should get movin'," Thana said before looking at Ash. "I'll see ya after the service," she said before starting to walk again.

Nikki quirked a brow and shook her head. "God no, he ain't my pet," Nikki said quickly before snap popping her gum within her mouth and against her cheeks before continuing, pointing in the general direction where the mouse scampered off to. "Little bastard showed up a while ago, we set traps, everything. he keeps avoiding them or setting them off without getting hurt. Then just shows up out of now where. Ended up calling him that after that damn mouse on the movie The Green Mile. You know, the one with Tom Hanks in that prison," she added before grumbling. "I'll catch that damn thing one day."

Looking back at Amelia she laughed. "Hell yeah, tag team that damn mouse and maybe actually catch it. Who knows, maybe Lisa can set up one of her Deader Traps on the small scale. At least that would be entertaining," she said with a chuckle. She liked the idea. She also like the idea of not getting in trouble for not getting their job done. "Right, back at it."

Things from that point went pretty smooth. No sign of the mouse. That was good and nothing else was crawling out. Hearing the front bell and then a shout out Nikki quirked a brow. "Wonder what she wants," she said as she set down what she was doing and dusted her hands off on her jeans before walking towards the front. Coming out and spotting the dog, Nikki had an idea. "Oh shit what happened?" she asked as she leaned against the counter.

^{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}

Administration (A): Gunny sat there and listened to Hunter vent his frustration. The man seemed unphased by what he was saying. But at certain points his eyebrow would twitch. He had been made aware of the interview Maddoc had had with Hunter. It hadn't gone well. In fact the interview along with how Hunter acted in quarantine was why Gunny was against Hunter staying. Maddoc had put up an argument, much like he had for Nikki. The allowance was granted but with stiff regulations. Part of that being therapy. The other part was Gunny was aware it was made full and clear that no matter what happened the dog would remain within the town whether or not Hunter was here. Once Hunter was done, Gunny glanced towards the door as a knock came. "Come in."

The door opened and it was Roy, with Maddoc standing behind him. They both entered. Roy glanced around and didn't say anything. One could feel the tension in the air. Maddoc however wasn't as quiet about it. Looking at his younger brother the man started speaking, the language wasn't a common one even before the apocalypse. It sounds more like drunken Irish gibberish than anything else but Gunny seemed to understand and the two started to exchange words. Roy took a step back. Gunny words seemed to be reserved and short in any language, Maddoc was getting fired up.

Gunny placed his hands on the desk and stood. "Enough." One word, delivered simply and without inflection. Maddoc growled but shut up finally. Turning his head he looked at Hunter. "This has nothing to do with making people fall in line, it has to do with an agreement. Being part of this community means you understand it is military. Being former National Guard you know full and well what being lax in duty means. It means the first thing to go is special privileges. A dog is special privileges. Not everyone has one, not everyone is allowed one, they take up resources. They are a privilege. You losing said privilege is on you and no one else. It has nothing to do with emotional attachment."

The man was about to continue when a radio call came in. "Gunny DoLittle, have the dog and am moving to a foster home." Gunny picked up the radio. "I don't know why the removal but I knew I should have made a report..."

"Continue," Gunny said into the radio.

"Failure to clean up after the dog, had to call him back on it during lunch," she informed Gunny, and the room in the process. Maddoc's head jerked to the side and he glared at Hunter.

"Thank you, out," Gunny said before setting the radio down. Taking his pen he made another notation in Hunters file. "That right there alone is enough to have the dog taken away. If you cannot care for a companion properly you are not allowed on." Looking back at Hunter as he set his pen down. "You are on day 1 in Camp. Probation, day 1. Your file is filled already with marks against your attitude. You have yet to speak with most within the community or those that entered with you with any ounce of respect, courtesy, or common sense. You are curl spoken, judgemental, and refusing to see any of your own personal faults. I have a note here about having a problem with being told you would be shot." Stopping he looked down to double check before looking back at Hunter. "At least we are honest, I see you eyes, I know that look. You plan and think about harming people. We just let you know what will happen if you try to harm us. You are the far bigger threat."

Closing Hunters folder Gunny sat back down. "The dog was a privilege. You being in these walls was a privilege. You have no earned your place as others have. Years building a community that thrives the way it does. Despite others concerns about your attitude a special recommendation was made for you. One that is being reconsidered now due to your constant issues. Drunken disorderly, dereliction of duty, excessive vulgarity, waste of community resources, and more. One, two, three, four, five breaches of protocol and more, all within the last twenty four hours. One problem, yes we would have talked. Two problems, more duty added. But all this? No, this I will no abide."

Roy knew where this was going, he was already moving behind Hunter and not trying to hide it. Maddoc at this point was chewing on cigar and had his face in his hand. "I here by recommend that you Hunter Monroe are exiled from the community. This is not a decision but a recommendation. It will be presented to your work seniors, should they agree it will go before the CMB council, then Maddog and myself before being presented to the General. You will have a chance to defend yourself or plead your chase at the tribunal. For now, you will be placed in holding. Roy take him into custody."

Letting out a short breath Roy nodded and pulled his handcuff out. He didn't say anything. Maddoc did however as he cast a glance towards Hunter. "I wouldn't try anything kid..." Maddoc warned as Roy went to put the cuffs on.

"Hell of a way to get out of cleaning Rivets Restroom," Roy finally said. In truth Roy wondered if exile was the better of the two options.

Downstairs in the basement, the man that busted his ass and lost his leg seems to be having a lot better time with things than Hunter it. Medic nods a bit. "Yeah, you got it right. Odd hearing it again after all this time," he said as he picked a bit at his pants with one hand and rubbed the back of his neck with the other.

Glancing at the door he shrugged. "I hope so but who knows. Rolodex isn't exactly the Hospital's favorite person right now," he started and then sighed with a bit of a chuckle as he started to explain. "You see, last time she borrowed a gurney she, well, she decided to reenact a scene from MASH, the show from the seventies and eighties. So there was this gurney race down the main street right outside. She got like a dozen people in on it. And everything was going great until there was this crash, into the General's golf cart, and well, injuries. Since then Mary has loathed that woman with a capital L."

Hospital (B): "Yes really," Mary said frankly before listening to what Thalia had to say. After hearing she pointed over to the wall where several were lined up. "Don't scratch it," she said before looking over towards Rolodex. "And it better come back here with him on it and not you driving," she warned.

"Wouldn't think of it darlin'," she said in a overly sugary sweet voice before moving over towards the gurney to grab it. (At this point Rolodex will help Thalia move the gurney, rolls have been made, the two will be able to get it back to Alexander by the end of this round. You may take control of Rolo and bunny her as needed to help with this and make the post go smoother for this round alone.)

Water Repair Shop (G): Way to go people, everything is going along better than expected. Lisa will not need to make another roll for her skill this round. Both her and Manny will just finish up the medical room on the boat this round, at the very end of your post that is. (You won't have time to leave the water repair shop this round.) Next round we will move on, for now, finish up and get the carts loaded to move out so you can get the dirty out of there. Well done! The rolls were in your favor.

Mechanics (K): Looking over what Maddoc had left, Mizrahi wasn't paying a lot of attention to Ash. That was until Ash spoke. His head went up and he nodded. "I check," he said as he started walking over there. He had to, if it wasn't done right and Ash was cleared that was on him. Stepping in he glanced around, seemed the place was done. "Good," he said as he took the clipboard off the wall between the two bathrooms and signed off on Ash's work for the mens. Looking at the womens he grunted. "If not back soon, you must finish," he told Ash as he hung up the board.

At the question he motioned for Ash to follow him. "The Mill," he said as he stepped outside and pointed off to the south east. "Settlement in old paper mill. Trade with," he told Ash before checking his watch. "You, clean up, funeral," he said. "Check back in when back." It was about that time and Rivets had allotted Ash more time than most to get ready for the funeral. Granted, she better have considering the job he was assigned.

Supply (R): Thankfully other than the mouse nothing else seems to be crawling out of the woodwork. Everything else is calm and no one is coming in to bother you all. Now what happened with the mouse? Well read below for the rest of this area.

Underwater Garden (U): You are moving out and over towards the Mess Hall. Things go fine. You will be able to move the cart and everything on it, without any issues or spills, from the Pier to M5, just south of the mess hall, on the main road this round. During your movement you will catch sight of DoLittle with Hunters Dog as she walks it away from Hunters apartment and it seems she is heading towards the main supply building.

Thana glanced over at Nigel and smiled. She didn't mind being called Athena, it had a nice ring to it. "If I am Athena, then which one would you be. I doubt Sportacus is a real deity," she said with a bit of a smirk. She had read the nickname in the files and heard it once in Quarantine. She was sure there was a story behind that but she really wasn't worried about it. Considering from what she had gathered it was from the two older men who seemed to be what Jay and Silent Bob liked to refer to themselves as Hetero-life-mates, she didn't think there was actually a lot to the story.

Gathering her things she nodded. "Yeah, seems taxes went away but the paperwork didn't. Now if I could only find a twinkie that would be something," she said as they started heading away from the pier once everything was done and locked up down there. Unzipping her wet suit she rolled it down to her waist. It was nice to just not have it compressing on everything, granted on her thigh the compression did help some. She still had a long way to go in recovery. There were moments when she missed the pins in her leg. She was used to them by the time they came out earlier that week, it was like having to learn to deal with the weight of her body all over again.

The mention of swords made her smile a bit. "Actually Joaquin can probably set it up. At least with non-sharpened or wooden for now. At least until you and Thalia are off probation in the community and everyone is more at ease with new people having weapons," Thana said as she walked with him towards the Mess Hall. Her limp was getting a little better the more she moved it out of the water, the heat of the air versus the cold of the water made a difference. "It'll have to be supervised of course, run by Roy, and set up for a time and place but I don't think it would really be a big issue. Long as you follow the rules and such. Ask Roy, or hell even Major would know."

Catching something out of the corner of her eyes she turned her head and spotted DoLittle with a dog. She didn't know the dog but it matched the description of the dog Hunter came in with. It made her wonder why the vet had the dog but there were so many reasons, and it was only day one, that it didn't even cross Thana's mind that the dog was being removed. For all she knew the woman was taking the thing for a walk since Hunter had work to do like all the other new people.

"Exactly," Nikki said agreeing with Amelia assessment of the old ladies. It was exactly like that and it seemed that even the end of the world couldn't being about the end of the Sewing circle, or in this instance the Poker circle. Either way, people liked to talked, especially when there was not much else to do. Nikki recalled over hearing Maddoc and Gunny talking at one point, about how making sure people kept busy doing things that were useful was the most important part of survival these days. Idle hands and all that jazz. She wasn't sure she agreed with that but she couldn't fault the logic. Half the time when she did something she wasn't supposed to it was because she was bored.

There was a nod from Nikki. "You're welcome. Most everything around here is common sense, it is just learning what to do. Reminds me of what I think college must have been like for others. Drop off stuff here, pick it up there. Well college for the rich. Like, yes, Gerard, that's a good man, would you mind flouncing my bouncy!" Nikki said doing a horrible impression of a snooty rich person snapping her fingers in the air before giggling and popping a bubble with her gum.

Everything seemed to be going along well. Hearing about the man Amelia was paying respects to was nice. Not nice that she was talking about a dead friend but getting to know Amelia. She liked the woman and was glad she was assigned her. It was a nice change and Amelia seemed sweet enough. "Glad you get to then. It's nice to have somewhere to go to say goodbye." It was, Nikki knew this. She wished she had such a place to go visit to remind her of her dad. She had to leave his body in the woods in Alabama. Then again, the whole camp kind of did that for her. They were trying to get here. She needed to go fishing.

Thoughts about fishing though went right out the window when a mouse came out of nowhere. "Mr. Bo'jangels that is not how we greet people!" Nikki scolded the mouse. She went to grab it but that didn't work. The mouse was much faster than the young woman was, scurrying off before Nikki had a chance to grab him, thankfully he didn't run up Amelia's leg but back under the shelving instead. "Damn it," Nikki grumbled from on her knees. Huffing she looked up at Amelia. "Been trying to catch that fucker for three months..."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Date: July 23rd, 2012 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

^{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}

Administration (A): While Hunter spoke Gunny said nothing. He placed his pen down on the stack of papers in front of him. His eyes looked at the kid but didn't move or flicker or blink. It seemed Hunter had a lot to say. In the end, Gunny waited for him to finish before he said anything. Then when he did speak his tone was even and calm. "Up until this point nothing but bringing you here to speak to me has happened so I do not feel it is overreacting. Especially when looking at the fact you are stating you don't remember." There was a slight pause before he continued. "I do not believe you are making enemies with everyone. I do however believe you are confrontational and trying to keep people at a distance. This combined with being emotionally immature and making some grand assumptions is creating some detrimental situations for yourself that are full self-inflicted."

Sitting up some, Gunny picked up pen and flipped over a sheet in Hunters file. "This does make the decision easy. Removal of special privileges will do for the moment." Looking up he set down his pen and picked up his radio. "Wolverine, need escort for Monroe comma Hunter, from Administration to Mechanics." Writing down a few notes, Gunny then looked at Hunter. "The dog will be removed from your care until further notice." Turning the dial to change the channel he continued. "DoLittle need pet removal from Condo 32F." Setting down the radio down Gunny sat back in his seat. "And Miss Warren, it isn't anyone's place but yours to speak to her about your actions."

Medic sat back on his read and got comfortable but he stayed close and his eyes were still watching Alexander closely wanting to make sure the man was as good as he was acting and not abut to go into shock while they waited for Rolodex and the girl to get back with the gurney. "Hell, no ones asked me that in years. So used to being called Medic these days." Letting out a slow breath he rubbed his face before looking back to Alexander. His name wasn't something common and usually the end of a joke when he was older. But hey the guy asked and Medic wasn't one to not answer things when asked, he just didn't volunteer a lot about himself. After Franklin and Newnan, and everything before that, he was good to just be. Nothing more, nothing less. "Names Moreau, Jahosafat Moreau."

Hospital (B): Heading out of the front of the Administration building and over towards the hospital, Sandra looked at Thalia oddly about the question. That seemed to be right out of left field and she wasn't sure what to think about it. Yet instead of thinking why Thalia asked it she seemed to stop and look around for a minute, thinking on the actual question. "Actually yes, over by Desalination, there's a road that loops, it's got them," she said. "Ain't that something?" she half asked, half pondered before heading back towards the hospital. It wasn't actually something she had wondered about before but as far as she could remember that was the only place in town she had seen them. Or at least remembered seeing them.

Getting close to the door, it swung open and Roy stopped, stepping aside and holding it open. "Rolo," he said as he hooked his radio back on his belt.

"Hey darlin'," she said walking past him and into the building itself. Roy held the door open for Thalia and waited for her to pass before he let go and started walking towards Admin.

Inside the hospital, Mary was standing at reception going over some paperwork with the desk clerk there and looked up oddly and a bit miffed as Rolodex came rushing over. "Need a gurney, quick."

"Oh hell no Sandy, last time I let you have one you used it for gurney races down the main street after dark. We had to set a broken leg and pop a shoulder back into place after it, it's driver, and it's rider crashing into the Generals gold cart!" Marry stated flatly as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Sandy gave the most fake innocent smile. "Why darlin' I was just tryin' to liven up the place and as much fun as it would be to do again I need it fer an actual emergency. Alexander, that new fella with cute smile, well he fell and Jo told me to get one." Mary didn't seem to be buying it. "I swear, just ask her," she said motioning towards Thalia. Mary's eyes darted towards Angel and she tilted her head to the side.

Water Repair Shop (G): Things down in the water repair shop are going excellent. Lisa is on top of things and was able to shave some time off the completion. Combined with rolls made this round she is doing well in teaching and Manny is doing well picking up on the process quickly. More time has been shaved off and everything is going smoothly. So much in fact that the smell is airing out much quicker than expected which is making dealing with all of it much easier. Lisa can once again make a roll to see about shaving another 15 minutes off the time. Keep this up and they will most likely be done before Manny needs to leave to get cleaned up and ready for the funeral.

Mechanics (K): A "thank you" came out from under the vehicle that Mizrahi was under before the sounds of someone tinkering beneath it echoed out. After that things are running pretty smooth and it seems quiet in the shop. The sound of Ash cleaning and Mizrahi working echo's through the garage. One can every so often hear the sound of kids playing, squealing, and laughing outside.

The sound of gravel under boots comes through and before anything is said the smell of cigar hits the air. Standing there was Maddoc, chewing on a half burnt cigar before going and checking the women's bathroom. "Where the hell is Monroe?"

"Gunny," Mizrahi said from under the truck. A look that was half duh and half frustration washed over the man's face as he set down a broken part that he was carrying in his hand. Mizrahi rolled out from under the truck but stayed on his back as he looked up at Maddoc. "Late report had to be added."

"Fuck..." Maddoc grumbled. "Fix that," he said as he pulled out a sheet of paper and set it down next to the part before walking off. It was more like stalking off as he stomped with each step.

Mizrahi rubbed his face some with the crook of his elbow before standing up and going to see what Maddoc had left for the mechanics shop. Looking at the time on the wall there was still time before Ash had to leave, he shouldn't have troubles finishing up the mens bathroom before he needed to leave to get cleaned up for the funeral.

Supply (R): Remember last time things were quiet and I mentioned that it might be too quiet. Well apparently the dice decided to bite us in the ass with that and in the most amazing way possible. Now, for a bit things are calm and quiet in the place. It isn't until after Nikki and Amelia get fully back to work and are in the back organizing things that things take a dramatic turn. What happens? Well nothing for Nikki or that she notices at first. Amelia is the one that takes the brunt of what happens. Again, what is that? Well we aren't exactly sure. At least not yet. Roll on the chart below!

Thana righted herself and counted the buckets before grabbing a clipboard off the wall. She started walking down the underwalk of the pier, stopping at each one and counting more before making some notes. Stopping for a minute she looked over towards Nigel and smiled slightly. "I'll go with ya, I need to talk to Cook anyways about how the produce is turning out and what adjustments she is having to make with serving them. But could use the help to get them up there. But first, could you start moving each bucket onto the cart there once I tag it?" she asked. Se was pretty sure he would as it was his job to help her but it didn't hurt to be polite and simply ask the man for a hand.

Looking back down at the clipboard Thana flipped to the back page and started pulling off paper clips, once she got one with one bucket she would put the paper clip on the handle. "Tagged," she say before she moved onto the next one. On the list where she was writing she was keeping tabs of how many of each kind of either fish or shellfish was pulled out of the water, general size and appearance of the animal. Same went for the plants that were pulled out. How many of each, which batch they were from, etc. It was a lot for her to write down but Thana was trying to do something that had only started being done a couple of years before the world went to shit. She didn't have the resources people used to have. The most valuable thing she had to make this work was patience and details. More she wrote down the more she had to review better chance she figured she had of making this work.

Once she was done with all of them she set the clipboard down on the cart. Taking a moment she grabbed her head and turned it quickly to one side, it cracking loudly before she did the same thing in the other direction. Then it was her back, and fingers, and knees. After the woman was done sounding like she was a bubblewrap factory that had just exploded she let out a relieved sigh and looked back over towards Nigel. "Alright, if'n you'd push that up towards the Mess Hall I can lock up behind ya and we can get going. We'll probably be dry by the time we get to the Mess Hall in this heat," she said as she pulled the keys out and waited for Nigel to lead the way this time.

Nikki laughed a bit and nodded. "Yeah, well break up and date someone else they will be all over it. Gossip central. Can be funny to watch. They don't mean any harm, they are just older and bored," Nikki said as she started picking up the things that she had picked out for Amelia that turned out not to be the girls style. That was fine, she had picked out more than enough for Amelia to pick through and everything that Amelia didn't want to wear would have to be put back. She knew this when she was pulling own outfit after outfit. Though a thought did run through her mind that made her laugh, Amelia not being able to chose and just wearing ALL the outfits. It made her laugh to herself.

Hanging a dress back up Nikki looked back to Amelia. She got that, one couldn't appear weak. "Yeah out there it's pretty bad but in here, more of it's okay. I mean it's hard to get used to but if people don't know your weakness around here then if you end up going out again and are paired with someone, well it can lead to trouble. Don't want two Type A personalities who will try to lead paired up. Also don't want two people who can't lead out there together, then no one does. So a little bit of vulnerability is okay. I mean don't expect ya to do it right off but once you get comfortable, it's actually better. At least here. Out there, fuck that."

"I'd put them back on until right before you leave, so it doesn't get dirty. After that, I can just hang them up until your back and you can change out and back in again," Nikki said with a small smile. She'd wait for Amelia to change back into her work clothes. If not, she kept going. Either way, in the end Nikki would lead Amelia to the back to where they could get on with their job. Organizing things that had come in and while they were at it, putting together the supply carts that would need to be picked up later that day. "Mind if I ask about who yer goin' to say goodbye to in the cemetery?" she asked quietly as she pushed a stack of towels onto a shelf.

Administration (A): Downstairs Medic looked over towards Thalia and Sally. "Gurney and board from the hospital," Medic said with a slight nod as he was looking over Alexander. "Whoa, take it slow," Medic added as Alexander sat up. "We don't want you moving a lot," he said before looking back at Sally who hadn't moved yet. "Rolo! Gurney!"

"Oh yeah! Right! Fiddle sticks!" she said before heading back out of the room and up the stairs. Coming through the door that separated the front from the back she made sure it was closed up right once Thalia followed her, if she was, before heading out of the Admin and towards the hospital. There she'd have to explain and such a bit but she didn't think it would be a problem. And Thalia could help her move things back, that was if someone in the hospital didn't do it for them. It was a toss up depending on how busy things were right then.

Back downstairs Medic shook his head a bit before looking back at Alexander. "We can get your leg back on once I get some x-rays. Just wanna check to make sure something didn't break, and doc will probably wanna scan your head," Medic said as he made sure Alexander had his leg and was comfortable as he could be on the ground for now. "Now just hold still and fill me in on anything wrong or hurting." Medic is pretty sure that Alexander is fine and dandy, that it wasn't anything bad with the fall. Just a slip and the man is fine. He's talking, he's seems to be stringing sentences together well, moving on his own, so from his opinion everything is perfect but the man has been at this a while and in this world if you don't have to chance it you don't. A few tests is probably the best best.

Gunny Office: Will update next round. It is as it left off in the previous round.

Water Repair Shop (G): Maddoc is off and gone by this point and the two are left alone to do their job. Nothing big is happening this round to cause any trouble or set backs - which is good. There is a gentle rocking to the boat that doesn't seem to be causing any issues right now, again good. So things are pretty much unchanged at this point. Lisa can roll again along the same lines as last round to see about being able to cut down on time. Other than that, keep moving forward.

Mechanics (K): Mizrahi looked confused. "Must ask Dawri," he said in a bit of a defeated voice. He was trying to figure it out and he thought that Ash might know. The man had one of those American accents. Yet he was telling Mizrahi that he was from Virginia, apparently that made a difference.

"What do ya need to ask Sparrow?" Volts asked as he came strolling back into the shop and caught the tailend of the conversation. Mizrahi looked over and pushed off the side of the door frame where he had been leaning. Volts unscrewed the top of his water bottle and went to take a drink.

"Ma tuenih bialkhinzir wal'anf walharara," Mizrahi said, glad someone who spoke his language was back around. Yet, what Mizrahi said caused Volts to nearly choke on his water.

"Say that in English..." he said. "I think somethin' was lost in translation..." he added wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"More turned up than a briar push durin' hog beatin'... Tesla say wrong," Mizrahi got out. Volts started laugh and shake his head. It took the man a few minutes to get it under control.

"More turnt' up than a briar bush durin' hog heatin'," the man was finally able to correct it seemed. It didn't clarify a thing for Mizrahi. "Muhbat jinsiaan," Volts followed up with. This made Mizrahi's eyes widen and him shake his head violently left and right as he held his hands up.

"Not what I mean, no, not that," Mizrahi said before turning and walking off. The man was quick to get back under the hood of the vehicle he had been working on. Volts lost it, leaning against the door and having to hold on. He would have kept on laughing, it it weren't for the fact his shin suddenly was connected with a wrench that was rather nicely tossed from under the truck by Mizrahi. Now he hadn't been meaning to nail Volts, just the wall next to him, but he wasn't complaining either when Volts yelped like a dog and start saying some rather heated words in Arabic as he stormed off and slammed the door to fabrication.

Outside of the talking, things in the Mechanics shop are pretty calm. The cleaning in the mens room is taking a bit longer than one might think considering the difference between the two - meaning the mens was far cleaner to start than the womans. Problem is because the mens is cleaner they store more in it - like spare parts. So having to move those out to clean and then move them back is adding to the amount of time that is needed to get it done.

Supply (R): Everything is as it was the round before after the old women exited the building. There still isn't sign of Auntie currently so the place is quiet other than the two girls in there shopping. Time is ticking away and there is work to be done before the funeral time get there and Amelia has to leave. This round though nothing happens, no one comes in to seek anything or to bother you two, no strange noises. All is well - nothing to worry about this round. It's quiet (Perhaps too quiet. O.o)

Underwater Garden (U): Now the water is murky but it always is in the gulf, especially near the shore. The waters of the Gulf Of Mexico are never what one would see in pretty pictures of clear blue waters. At least not in this area of Florida along the coast the way it is. I'm sure Cuba is beautiful this time of year. So swimming there is going to need extra caution as even when one is close up, checking on plants or moving things, it is still murky. Further one gets from what they are looking at the worse it gets. There is probably a 20 foot visibility under the water right now. The currents are there and you can feel them but they are not causing any trouble thus far. In fact under the water things seem rather calm for the time being. There are a few smaller fish darting about, nibbling at algae growing on man made surfaces. Some shrimp walking over kelp or along the chains. One or two soft shell blue crabs are walking along the bottom, which at this point beneath the pier is not far below you, twenty feet maybe from the edge of the pier and quickly moving to nothing towards the shore as one could expect. All is well - nothing to worry about this round.

Trying to get back into the swing of things was proving to be an easier transition than Thana had been expecting. It wasn't like she had had a lot of time before she had left Camp Mexico Beach in search of the others to get a real feel of how she wanted to do things. Things had gone so hectically with her trying to recover and put in her hours and do her interviews by those that were there and go through the military training they wanted done before someone was part of the community that way and more that when Thana got back she was worried that having to deal with the gardens was going to be overwhelming. Today it wasn't. How tomorrow went would be another story.

For now however Thana had someone that was working out well enough. He was educated, strong, and a decent conversationalist. She'd have to ask about this whole Sportacus thing in his file later but for now it was working out well. At least well enough until he mentioned sparring with Thalia and Joaquin and his sword arm being sore. It made her stop mid dip into the water and just stare at him. Her head tilting to the side slowly. "Oh you mean actual swords!" she said after a few blinks before laughing it off and heading under the water. Her mind had taken a turn towards something entirely different when the man mentioned a sore arm and swords. Even in this world a grown womans mind can still hit the gutter.

Under the water, Thana was moving on. As they had only snorkles today there wasn't going to be going all the way down. But there was enough to tend to where they were just below the surface. Baskets and traps had to be brought to the surface and emptied into buckets floating half way in the water to keep anything they caught alive until they took it to the Mess Hall later. Some crops needed harvesting in small amounts, trimming dead or dying bits off others. It was not much different than working above the water it just took more time and a lot more preparation to get things in order. Not to mention Thana going back to the surface to clear water out of her snorkel every so often and rest her thigh. She wasn't saying anything but the way she grabbed it from time to time or rubbed it made it pretty clear that she was just pushing through.

Pulling a bucket up onto the underdock, Thana huffed before clearing the water off her face as it dripped from her hair. "Bit more than I expected today. We're gonna need to run this up to the Mess and dump it there before we can keep going," she said as the water in the bucket drained out the pre drilled holes in the bottom that let the water keep moving when it was in the water but easily strained it out without them losing any food in the process.

Nikki nodded a bit with a laugh. "Yeah. Not all the time but when things change it throws her off. Well, that's not right. Shit. Okay, if there is like a medical thing and someone comes in and shit hits the fan Mary is right on top of it. Cool headed, she's got it. When things that aren't life and death change around her, she flips some. Medical being pushed back for a boat returning for example," Nikki explained as she leaned back against the counter. Popping a few bubbles she thought back on several times Mary had snapped on her or others around her at the time. She always thought it was silly to blow up over something like that and it made her wonder just how the hell Mary was a person that they'd trust in Medical. Then she saw people get sick and come in and saw Mary do her thing. If someone spilled a glass of milk, Mary was the last person Nikki wanted around. If someone was bit or shot Nikki would take Mary over anyone else anyday of the week.

Now, onto the old woman and their curiosity. "Nah, it's more than that really. I mean, it's their curiosity and shit but yer also the new folks. They've been watching the other couples for a while now. It's like watching reruns for years and suddenly there is a new Soap Opera on the TV so you just gotta see what happens. Pretty sure between you and Riley and Sparrow and that Captain guy those gals are goin' to be gabbing like its a Sunday social, or think that's how Sparrow puts it," she said pushing off the counter and looking around the place. Inhaling deeply it was odd how no matter how many years passed, any place that stored stuff for well storage all smelled the same. Even now, taking a deep breath Nikki was reminded of the old Good Wills she used to roam through when she was younger. Smelled just like this. Some things never changed.

Looking at the hat, Nikki smiled. "Hey I think it looks sweet," she said. Then tilting her head to the side she cocked a brow before shrugging. "Shit I would have picked the pageant gown in pink and wore that shit. It's the end of the world, have fun with it, stand out. Hell being alive makes ya stand out. Not smelling like a corpse makes ya stand out. And anyways that sun is brutal. The hat will be good for your head until the hair grows in some more," Nikki said before a light bulb went off in her mind. She got an idea. "Or we could rummage through the wigs," she suggested.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Date: July 23rd, 2012 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

^{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}

Administration (A): Volt hadn't given Hunters joke a chuckle or laugh. More of one of those deeply grown looks that men got when they were looking at their sons when they did something wrong. A look that seemed to scream, "boy have you lost yer damn mind?" and it not really being a question but more of an exasperation. A look someone might get after they said "hey y'all watch this," but no one actually stopped the person because deep down they were sick individuals as well that wanted to see just how bad the train wreck got. Thing was, Volts couldn't stay and watch, he had work to do and had left. He did however make a mental note to ask about it later if it came up in conversation. Wasn't like they had the 5 O'Clock News on Channel 3 anymore.

"Gunny will be out shortly," Rolodex said towards Hunter after Volts had stepped out and the door had closed behind him. She was watching Hunter, about to stand up and introduce herself to the boy when the door to the back swung open. Turning and figuring it was Gunny she had a bit of a surprise when she saw Thalia instead and without that nice young man that was with her earlier. She tilted her head to the side a bit when Thalia leaned in and spoke quietly. "Well pickle my peas!" she exclaimed. "Yes, of course," she added as she reached for the radio, about to put a call in when the front door of admin swung open.

Stepping through the door was a darker skinned man who looked very tired holding several sheets of paper. "Sandy," he said with deep voice.

"Medic! Well ain't ya just the answer to our prayers," Rolodex exclaimed as she stood up and and took the papers quickly from the man as he held them out looking a bit confused. Her other hand grabbed his as she set the papers down. "You wait there," she added as she pointed towards Hunter. Medic nearly stumbled himself as Rolodex drug him towards the door. "Come on," she said to Thalia as she kept dragging Medic. The man looked resigned to whatever she was going on about it and didn't fight it but he looked annoyed enough to be sure as he was pulled along like a dog being drug to the tub. There was even the barest hint of a growl as the door closed behind him once he, Rolodex, and Thalia were through it.

"Mind telling me what the fuck Sandy?" he finally asked as they got to the stairs that lead down.

"Alexander fell, lost consciousness," she said and Medic looked really confused.

"Who the hell is Alexander? Nevermind, where is he?" he said. Sandy pointed down the stairs.

"Down there, they're cleaning up the old storage rooms," Sandy explained. Medic huffed slightly and nodded before heading down, now at a quick pace that he had gotten his wrist away from Sandy and knew what was going on. "After ya," she added towards Thalia, letting the girl go first down the stairs before following suit.

Back in the main lobby area of Administration a few minutes passed before the door opened and Gunny stepped out. He looked like he was about to say something towards the desk but noticed that Sandy wasn't sitting there. A brow went up slightly as he took a closer look at her desk area. "Hrm," was all that left his lips as he picked up the sheets of paper that she had hastily left there from Medic a few minutes ago, then he picked up the paper that Volts had brought in with Hunter. His eyes scanned them before looking over at the seating area and taking note of Hunter.

"Monroe," he said with a bit of a motion with his finger indicating that he wanted Hunter to follow him. It was through the door between waiting and the rest of the building. A narrow hallway that was covered with paneling like it hadn't aged since the 1970's, very reminiscent of most every administration office in the country over the last forty or fifty years before the outbreak had happened. Granted, paneling was very popular in general for a good number of years, especially in the south. One didn't redo the walls, they just put another layer of paneling over the previous and called it a day. So popular in fact many cars had paneling for years. Down the hallway Gunny stepped into his office. The office looked like others, filing cabinet, old desk that had seen better days but still had plenty of good years left most likely as long as someone didn't do something to give it undue wear and tear. "Have a seat," he said pointing towards the office chair. A simple enough chair with no rollers, metal frame, and rough olive green upholstery.

Once Hunter had entered the office, Gunny shut the door and walked to the other side of his desk. Setting down the papers he took the single one from the top with one hand and opened a folder with papers in it with the other. Glancing down at them he read outloud. "Probationer: Monroe, Hunter. Charges filed on July 22nd: Food Waste and Drunken Disorderly - witnessed by Cook, Goat, and myself. Note added by the General of 'overly vulgar speech in the presence of minors'. Hrm." Looking at the new paper that Volts brought in with him. "Probationer: Monroe, Hunter. Charges filed July 23rd: Failure to report for duty at designated time - witnessed by Frankenstein and probationer Holloway, Ashton." Stopping he let out a short breath and looked towards Hunter. "10-886 - Absence without leave." Article 10, Code 886 of the Military Code of Military Justice. AWOL. While AWOL was usually remembered for people deserting it was more commonly know by soldiers for being late to work or skipping out early. "Do you deny the charges?" Gunny asked as he leaned back in his chair and laced his fingers together in his lap.

Now, back to the basement - Medic made his way down the stairs and down the hallway. He peeked in his head into the wrong room to start but quickly made his way into the correct one, spotting Alexander down on the floor. His head tilted to the side slightly. He hadn't met this one before, granted he hadn't met Thalia before or Hunter either. Three new people. He had heard there were new people but he hadn't felt like eating lunch so had missed seeing them. He still had no idea just who had arrived. Kneeling down next to Alexander he looked over the man. "I'm Medic." It was a quick enough and accurate introduction. "Pain, nausea, or known breaks?" he asked as he started to do a cursory look over of Alexander.

Water Repair Shop (G): Stepping over to the two once he was fully off the boat Maddog pulled out a rag from his pocket and cleaned off his hands. "Right, the doctor," he said remembering the files. Rivets quirked a brow. "Dentist," he clarified. Rivets grimaced and took a step back which drew a laugh from Maddog.

"He should be in I.A. instead of supply," she said before giving a thin lipped nod and turned, making her way away from the rest of them much quicker than someone might think she was able. "I got work to do in the shop!"

"She ain't quick but she moves with purpose," Maddog laughed shaking his head before looking at Manny. "She hates dentists, be grateful," he added before looking over at Lisa. "I don't think this will take you two long. Probably less time that usual. Guy said the trip was pretty calm. Medic should be back once he gets restocks approved in Admin and collects them from Medical," he said as he shoved the piece of fabric into his back pocket. Giving a bit of a nod he started walking off.

Lisa knows the drill for this. She and Manny will only be tending to the small medical room that is set up on the boat for the trips. The boats infirmary is make shift, being put in long after the boat had been built. The boat itself obviously didn't originally have such a set up. It is a nice set up even if very cramped and different than one might imagine. It's orderly and looks to be decently clean but Lisa, and Manny, would know that just because an area looks clean doesn't mean it is sterile and if they are doing medical out at sea it is best not to risk it since there isn't exactly a hospital anywhere near by.

The cleaning is going to take a couple of hours at least. Lisa may make a roll against her Custodian Skill of course to cut down on the time it takes to get if fully done. If you do, roll in chat. Roll at or below skill number, this is a success and time to fully get cleaning done up to par is cut down by 25%.

Mechanics (K): Mizrahi nodded. He thought he understood what Ash was saying. He understood English far better than he spoke it. That and Ash was using normal words as far as he could tell. More what he could read in a book. Talking to Thana left him wondering if she was actually speaking English or something else entirely that she made up herself. He had heard of odd phrases before but after weeks on the road with the woman he had become truly confused. He had heard some things that left him scratching his head even after she explained them to him. He was trying though, trying to understand them, and use them... "Yeah, garden ain't made by sittin' in the shade," he said trying one out.

This made Tesla stop and stare. "What the fuck?" he asked under his breath, half coughing as he did.

"That not right?" Mizrahi asked.

"No!" Tesla laughed. "That's about hard work, not things being hard."

"Oh," he said before shrugging. "More turned up than a briar push durin' hog beatin'."

"Push? Hog Beatin'? Okay, stop, you have got to stop learning English from Sparrow," he laughed before giving Ash half a wave. "Good luck man," he added as he walked off and back into fabrication, the door closing heavy behind him.

Walking over to the bathroom, Mizrahi leaned against the door slightly. "Briar push wrong?" he asked, still not sure if Tesla was being on the up and up with him or if he was just teasing him.

Supply (R): Mary looked like she might blow a gasket but she didn't. Her eyes narrowing somewhat. "You see that it is or I'm gonna have a talk with Auntie about you," she seemed to threaten before turning on her heels and walking out of Supply, the door swinging shut behind her.

After that little exchange - Supply is just dead. Seems that no one is coming in or out. Those that had been in the back were the only noise that was made and after a little there was none at all. No they weren't dead back there. They came up and signed out. Older and their shifts were partly over night, the early hours in the morning prepping for the main shift. This had been the tail-end of their day and they were done now it seemed. Writing down their out time before heading out and giving the girls a bit of a wave as they went. "See ya tomorrow mornin'," one of the older women said as she left Supply.

"Unless you girls wanna join us for Gin Rummy tonight after dinner, playing down at the picnic tables by the chapel," another said before heading out with the others. Seemed there were options of what people did with their evenings or down time in general. Gin Rummy hadn't been on the board by Assembly but this was a good example of people doing their own thing even if they weren't doing things already up and listed out. Granted Gin Rummy wasn't a big deal, it was a deck of cards and older folks - it really was the picture of a retirement home activity.

Underwater Garden (U): The Gardens are just Thana and Nigel. Above them one can see through the spaces between the wood people walking about and see from above and then down into the water on one side that some are just fishing. Seems appropriate for the pier. The end of the pier however, where Thana and Nigel are, no one is fishing off. This is probably a good thing and there by design. The last thing Thana or Nigel would need right now is to get a hook into their cheek and someone try to reel them in. It would be the worst life action underwater scene of Bedknobs and Broomsticks ever, and a lot bloodier.

Now, under the water, thankfully things seem calm. The weather outside has been hot, as it is summer in the south, but there hadn't been any strong storms over the last few days. This is leading to smoother waters. Now, because they are by the shore, before the sandbar is does mean that things are easily kicked up and the water isn't perfectly clear - it never is in the gulf. Though right now is about as good as it gets. Lights will be needed to see around once you are deeper than a few feet and even by the surface the waters viability is only a dozen feet at best.

While it is only Nigel and Thana under the water, it doesn't mean they are alone. They might be the only humans breathing under the water with the help of their snorkels but it doesn't mean they are the only things alive under there. There are some fish swimming around, eating off the algae that is growing on the wooden posts that keep the pier in place, some shrimp and other shell fish crawling around. There is even a jelly fish or two floating about out there. At least for now it seems that is all that is under the water, what all is under there is anyone's guess - for now, the dice aren't showing anything getting to ya this round.

Thana glanced over at Nigel. She really hadn't ever thought of it that way. "Prefer Athena, wiser," she said with a slight shrug. Then a slight smile came to her lips. "Plus she won the city," she added with a bit of a wink thinking back to stories she had read in school. Thana might have been Navy but she couldn't deny the pull of Athena to a girl growing up and wanting to be strong. Thana had faced plenty of challenges in the military being a woman, Athena had been a bit of a role model, even if she was just a story from long ago. There had been far worse people she could have looked up to growing up, especially all things considered.

"Anyways, I just scienced the hell outta this. Fear my botany powers," she laughed a bit as she pulled her mask down over her eyes and made sure it was all secure. "Qui plantavit curabit," Thana added a bit more seriously. Now, Thana didn't speak Latin. She had never taken a lesson in her life but she did know a few proverbs that she had memorized over the years. Qui plantavit curabit was one of them. It was one that held a lot of meaning to her, one she had run across in one of her botany books back in college. It was the of the Roosevelt Family and basically meant that he who plants will preserve. Fitting for the Roosevelt's considering Teddys role in National Parks long time ago. Fitting to Thana she felt right then as she floated in the water and held onto the edge of the pier. She planted it, she had to care for it, it would help them all preserve.

Looking over to Nigel, Thana nodded a bit. She wasn't minding his help nor his presence. Granted she would have rather had Ash near her but she knew if Ash was there she wouldn't be getting the amount of work that needed to be done completed. She would be too focused on Ash being close to do the job that needed to be done. That was not something that had been a problem in her past. She was very good at keeping work and personal apart, even if she was dating the person she was working with. That was before the outbreak though, before she walked into Newnan, before she met Ash, before over a year of thinking she may never see him again and then resigning herself to that. Yea, things were different now and as long as she was around him she was going to be focused on him.

Having Nigel there made it better. He wasn't someone that was part of CMB when she came in. He hadn't seen her recover, he didn't know her before. He was new, seemed educated and spoke well, didn't seem to have personal issues. Frankly the man was a unicorn in a world of acid dipped Jokers. Maybe he would like to move from Supply to Mess once his probation was over? Time would tell. "Maddoc runs swimming/snorklin'/divin' lessons twice a week ifn' yer interested. Would get ya better suited fer being out here, I'm startin' them up soon as I get cleared by Doc," she let Nigel know.

"A'right, time to get started, ready?" she asked, not wanting to jump the gun on this. Sure they were anchored and close enough to shore but Thana had been in waters like this enough to know anything could go wrong at any minute. "And watch fer jelly fish, thems gonna get ya worse than most thangs out here."

Nikki rolled her eyes. She rolled them so hard in fact that it actually hurt and had the old wives tale about eyes getting stuck that way were true they would have when she listened to Mary. "Get laid!" Nikki yelled out after the woman before huffing and popping a bubble with her gum. Shaking her head she looked over to Nikki. "If that woman had an orgasm it would do more good for the rest of us than she knows," she added before leaning over the counter and resting her head down on it. She had work to do, she knew that but dealing with Mary could be a head ache. It wasn't like she really disliked Mary it was just Mary was in a mood and Mary seemed to be in a mood more and more often these days. Nikki felt bad for Lisa having to work with the woman some days. Then again Mary could be fun, when she wanted to be and didn't have a stick up her butt.

Looking over to Amelia she got back to their conversation. "Oh you know those weird things people would build that really didn't do anything but looked neat? Like you roll a ball down a track, it knocks over dominos, then makes a balloon pop, which makes a chicken lay an egg, that rolls down another track and cracks on a glass to fall into a pan to fry? Like that but for Walkers," Nikki said, trying to explain what Lisa liked to do and totally blanking on what the actual process was called. Maybe she should spend more time with her nose in a book, or maybe not. She figured she got the point across. If not she could keep explaining. Nikki did enjoy talking to someone new. At least someone that wasn't putting his foot in his mouth, or a handful of oatmeal. She cringed at the memory. That was not pretty.

Lifting her head up she looked at Amelia as she came out and smiled a bit. "That looks pretty good!" she exclaimed before glancing around. "But it needs something," she added as she came out from behind the counter. It was about this time the older women came out of the back and were signing out to leave. Nikki wasn't paying them much mind until the two of them spoke and one invited them over to cards later. Nikki nodded and waved a bit, waiting for the door to close before saying anything.

"They just wanna know about the two new resident lesbians," Nikki said rather bluntly as she looked over to Amelia. "Ain't nothing bad. We have a lot of people that swing more than one way. We just ain't had a full on female couple that looked to be long term in a while. Hell we only had one gay couple till you showed up. They're old and curious," Nikki said, rolling her eyes again as she walked. She seemed to be searching for something.

"There it is!" she exclaimed as she reached up on a shelf and pulled a hat box off it. Dusting off the top she brought it over to the counter and opened it. Inside was an older hat with a veil. "There ya go," she said holding it out.
