Notes: This is the last update before the time jump. This round just post your characters reacting to this last post and heading off (or being escorted out lol). Like I said in chat, we will be on an IC hiatus as we update characters sheets for the time jump. We will come back in Year 6, March of 2013, so you know how much time we are passing. If you are wanting to shelve a character let me know so we can talk about that. Right now because of posting counter averages I am limiting everyone to the current number of active characters they currently have but if you want to shelve one and bring in someone new - contact me about that - It CANNOT be someone that knows any PC's or NPC (past, present, or shelved) for now. And once the time jump is completed we will be opening the Rp to new characters.

Camp Mexico Beach General: Guy sat there and gave a bashful smile. For someone as large as he was, the man was a rather large teddy bear and he didn't hide that fact by trying to appear tough. He was a softie and it made him happy that he could be there for Lisa. It was rather obvious by his facial expression. "Well, then we can talk about anythang ya want," he said with a goofy grin.

The man wasn't expecting her to tell him humans but as he thought about it, it did make sense. Humans were animals and they could be entertaining, then again they could absolutely horrible. He remembered one man in particular he wouldn't have minded putting a bullet in his head if someone else hadn't gotten to him first. "Aww, now they are cute," he said about the hedgehogs. He was pretty sure she was talking about the actual animal and not the blue dude from the video games. The thought though did make him chuckle.

Guys eyes widened a bit as Thalia appeared out of no where. "Holy hell, you're like a damn ninja," he said a bit startled with the way she just popped in next to Lisa. As Lisa mentioned the Fuck Hunt Guy got a very confused looked on his face. "The what?!?" he said, nearly choking on his food.

Thana glanced over towards Nigel and nodded. "True, it won't be a light sentence but I am at the point of having no qualms with whatever the sentence it. He made an agreement, if he cannot do what he agreed to then any sentence is on his head and only his head. Rule 1: Keep your promises." Thana had her own personal set of rules she lived her life by, at the top of that list was keep your promises. If you agreed to something, no matter what happened, you kept it. Agreeing to the terms and conditions of the camp was a promise. Hunter had failed at that - so banishment, lockup, or death - all were fitting to her and justified. When one did wrong in this life they do not get to chose their punishment or ways to make amends, they must do what those they wronged wish to make it right - whatever that might be, no matter how outlandish. If they didn't want to do that they should have just followed through. In this world there was only one thing a person had that had any true worth - Their word.

Turning her head she looked back to Thalia and sighed. "She is. I have fought along side her. She was never like this. Something is off with her lately. Give her time. She will surprise you," Thana said in passing to Ash's words. Thana had fought with Thalia for months on the road, they had spent many a night sitting on watch together. She knew how silent Thalia could be and just how deadly the woman was. All these noises she was making was out of place for her. She wondered if it was because she lost her hand or if there was something more going on. She gave half a glance to Ash and shook her head in disagreement about Hunter. "No, it reminds people know both new and old that there are consequences for not following through with their agreement. Death isn't simple, it is fitting. It is whatever is best for the community, not the person. I love you Ash but if you screwed over the community I would put a bullet in your head." It was flat, it was direct, it was simple. "And I would expect you to do the same to me if I broke the trust of the people here."

Nikki, like so many others just sat there and waited for the verdict. It wasn't what she was expecting. It wasn't what anyone was expecting. Sitting up some she watched Hunter to see what he would decide. Her brows shot up as he chose to stay. She figured he would get the hell out of dodge while he had the chance. It seemed he wasn't taking the easy way out. Lock up in the mental ward? That wasn't going to be easy. Even Dr. Freeman looked surprised. Yes he had suggested the punishment, for multiple reasons, but he hadn't actually thought the General was going to consider it. It seemed he not only considered it but chose it as an option. The old man had a way about him that was for sure.

"Very well. It is the judgement of this court, by your choice, that you Hunter Monroe will be placed in psychiatric lock up for the next 6 months and be under the care of Freeman, who will council and evaluate you during this time. At the end of the six months his recommendation will determine if you will be allowed to start back in the community at all or if you will be sent on your way. Roy, Joaquin, Cage - escort Mr. Monroe to the ward and make sure the guards there are made aware of the situation," The General said before taking a breath and continuing. "This court is adjourned."

With that, it was over. The three that were called out by the General stepped towards Hunter - they would escort him out of the room once it was cleared out of those present. Rolodex needed to type up the transcript and make it available to the camp in general. An announcement would be made what the verdict after dinner and once again at the next mornings meeting. Wayne looked at Hank, this was going to be interesting to say the least. Thana didn't like the decision but it wasn't her choice. The leader of the community had made the call. When she joined, like all others, she agreed to accept any rulings the court and the General made. She would say nothing more on the subject. She simply stood and popped her neck. It was time to move on as far as she was concerned.

As the General exited the room, Mary caught up with him and informed him of little Lucy. It was a sad moment and would be addressed after dinner as well. The little girls funeral would be the next day and she would be laid to rest. The next few months were going to be interesting in the camp and would decide what was going to happen to Hunter, as well as many others.

Notes: Prewarning, I am still sick and because of this having a system worked out dice wise to chose a punishment for the court martial is just beyond me right now. And since I don't know when it will return I have gone another route. Hopefully it is a good enough middle ground between just me going straight out pick it myself and having the dice decide. Also, in another round or two we will be going on a small hiatus so we can do the time jump and update character sheets to compensate for said time jump. (As well as start talks for new characters or shelving current characters.) So just hang in there a little longer and we can start on a new era in the RP where the skills will be getting heavy play and you will have more control overall.

Camp Mexico Beach General: Guy smiled as he took a seat and pulled his cap off. His dark curls falling from being bunched up under his hat and down around his eyes. "Well sometimes people just need some alone time but glad ya don't mind me comin' by," he said warmly before picking up his fork. Glancing over at Amelia and Riley he smiled a little brighter. "Yeah, they have been since I've known them. Both have been through a lot, it's good to see them happy," Guy said before looking back over at Lisa. "I hope they're always like that. I remember when Jack and Tati were like that," he said before looking down. "The boston dude and the ballerina. He was so light and happy, she was so innocent and bubbly. I hardly recognize them now," he said before sighing again as he poked at his food.

Shaking off the thought he looked back over to Lisa. "So, mind if I ask you what your favorite animal is?" he asked before smiling again, his dimples showing a little. "Sorry, just kind of what to get to know you a little better and kind of tired of when people do that they ask what I've through since all this started. Figured I might as well start with one of those old standbye questions."

Joaquin eyed Hunter for a moment as he started to talk. Taking the smallest of breaths he answered simply and plainly. "There is a difference between attempting to do harm and attempting to stop harming. Learn to know it." Yes, it was a simple enough principle but it was much easier said than done. Joaquin was rather sure he had experience on his side when it came to waiting and seeing what happened instead of just jumping the gun, at least more than Hunter did considering the testimonies given during the trial.

Thana leaned forward some and looked over at Nigel. She nodded slightly. "He's admitted guilt. I think the best anyone can hope for is that enough of the council doesn't push for Tatiana's sentence suggestion. From the looks of it though I am figuring at least one person on the council will." Hearing Ash, Thana glanced over to him and then checked her watch. "Well I ain't knowin' the whole council well but I do know my family. I would say ten minutes at most," she said before looking back at Ash and sighing. "I doubt this is about guilt or innocence at this point, this is just deciding sentencing."

Wayne leaned back in his seat and laced his fingers behind his head. "Never thought I'd see the day when I was walking around free and that kid was the one that could end up in the straight jacket. Think we stepped into a damn episode of the Twilight Zone. You know, the one where the kid controlled his whole family and it was like an episode of fucking Loony Tunes," he chuckled under his breath.

Hearing the calamity of Thalia, Thana's head whipped around and her eyes widened. "What in the sugar free fuck..." she muttered as she watched her friend make a quick and rather loud exit from the room. "Fucking hell, if she have been half that loud in Eden we all would have been dead..." Shaking her head, Thana slipped back down into her seat and waited for the verdict to come.

Thana didn't have to wait long, because as Hunter was being brought back in the Council came in. "Here we go," Thana thought to herself as the Council settled back into their seats.

Rising was the General. He pulled out his glasses and placed them on the bridge of his nose before picking up a folder and taking out a single sheet of paper. "Mr. Monroe, I do not believe there was any doubt on what the verdict would be in this case. You have been found guilty on all charges. Each member of the council has voted guilty and I have agreed. This was simple enough as you have admitted to them and the evidence is overwhelming. This leaves us with your sentence."

Stepping out from behind the long table, the General leaned on his cane as he walked. "There were many opinions on what your sentence should be. Some much harder than others. Yet it is up to myself alone to determine what is best for the community. That is a subjective topic. As many have pointed out you may just need more time. As others have said no one here knows you nor can vouch for you. It has also been brought up that you knew the rules, agreed to them, and yet broke then anyways knowing what the punishment would be. I will admit this disturbs me. It reminds me of a toddler being told to not touch the stove. It isn't done to be cruel but out of safety. Yet toddlers do as they wish even told they will be burned. Sometimes one does not learn until they are punished. It is a sad reality but there it is."

Sighing a bit, the General leaned against his cane some more before continuing. "I cannot in good conscience allow you to remain within the walls of our town yet I am worried that you would indeed try to act on some form of revenge if you were to come across a member of the community later. Yet killing in the name of possibility also does not sit right with me. So, what am I left with?"

Taking a moment, the General stepped a little closer to Hunter but kept his distance well enough to where if he lunged Joaquin had time to get a clean shot off. It was protocol. "So, I am left doing something I have not done before. You will decide your sentence." Many of those watching froze, Thana herself wondered if her grandfather had finally lost all common sense. "Now that does not mean a free sentence. I present you with two options that sit with the least amount of turmoil for me. You may either take option A: which is six months in our mental ward under the direct supervision of our psych team and at that point you will either be allowed back into the community or be automatically sentenced to option B. Option B you may take now instead. This is Long Distance Eviction. You would be taken immediately from this trial to a distant location on the other side of the Mississippi with your original supplies, minus your dog, and one weeks worth of rations and water. These options are not up for debate, you chose one or the other. This is the best I can do to ensure balance between what is best for the community and what leaves you an opening to perhaps heal and learn."

Thana's eyes widened, she hadn't expected that, at all. Tatiana felt it was too lenient. Nikki thought it was too much. Wayne had been locked up before and in the end he'd take lock up again in a psych ward over being out there alone. Sure he didn't exactly like people but he knew everyone needed at least one person to have their back, plus who the hell would give up regular food and air conditioning? No one was that crazy, where they?

"So what will it be son?" The General asked as he stood there.

Camp Mexico Beach General: People at dinner were pretty much keeping quiet and to themselves. Even if they hadn't gone to the trial it didn't mean that it wasn't on their mind. Anytime there was a court martial it meant that things could change drastically within the camp. Thing was, Hunter was new and not fully a part of the community yet. He hadn't made friends or gotten close to anyone. That being said he was the first to be put on court martial this quickly out of quarantine. If he was allowed to stay what would that mean? It made people think. Wonder what was going on. Maybe not enough to go sit through it all but enough to keep it on their mind.

Outside at the beach Guy felt his stomach rumble and he sighed. Turning he started to walk towards the Mess Hall. He needed to eat and then it would probably be a good idea for him to go check on Medic and see how he was doing sitting there with little Lucy. He glanced at the Education Center as he passed it, wondering what was taking so long. He hadn't wanted to go and figured he would find out eventually. Didn't mean he didn't want to know what was going on. He remembered Leann. She had run Newnan in a very military manner. Ash wasn't as much of a hard ass as she was. He wondered what Leann would have done in this situation. He had no idea. She put up with people with skills. Did Hunter have any worth keeping around?

Shrugging to himself he walked into the Mess Hall and went to grab a tray. Once Guy got one he glanced around, looking for a place to sit. There were plenty of seats. He spotted Lisa and wondered if she wanted company. She had been with Lucy when she passed, maybe she could use a friend. A shoulder. maybe she would tell him to fuck off because she wanted to be alone. Well he wouldn't know until he tried. Taking a deep breath he walked over to her and stopped a few feet away from her. "Would ya like some company?" he asked with a small smile. "I mean, no worries if you don't but figured I'd offer ya know."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It seemed a lot of people had something to say on the matter. Several of the people that had been in quarantine with Hunter went quickly and gave their thoughts on the matter. It wasn't until a handful of them had gone that long term people within the settlement began to speak up. Instead of giving their personal reasons to why those thought they did they just rattled off what they should the outcome or sentence should be.

Panama was for allowing Hunter to stay but under guard. Doc went for eviction, only citing limited medical resources if he were to attack someone. Atlas was blunt, "kick him to the curb." Bass, Daytona, and DoLittle all said let the kid stay. DoLittle did add that she thought that the dog should remain in another cares permanently though stating that because he is acting the way he is even under trial the dog is obviously not a long term concern and that bothered her. Cage stepped onto the stage and sighed, looking over at Hunter before speaking. "Stay but under lifetime jail sentence." Volts and Tesla sided with Mizrahi when he said eviction. Ted said that he felt Monroe should stay.

Thana came in and took her place in line having come down stairs from above. She was surprised to see that Wayne was actually still seated and looked to not be putting in his two cents into the matter, nor Hank. She had heard what Ash said when she came in and it didn't surprise her. Stepping up onto the stage Thana looked at Hunter for a brief moment before looking at the council itself. "When each member of the most recent quarantine group agreed to be part of this community they signed on the dotted line. We gave them all the rules and regulations. We gave them the possible punishments. These things were made very clear. We hid nothing." Turning Thana looked at Hunter. "You new exactly what you were getting into. You knew what rules you were breaking when you broke them and chose to do it anyways. This cannot be tolerated. The town is not on trial and yet you tell us what we should or shouldn't do. A community that has stood strong for five years, one you have yet to contribute to. One you didn't build. One you have not kept safe. One that you knew would do exactly this, this court martial if you decided not to follow the rules yet here we are. That is willful disrespect." Turning back to the council Thana continued. "Exile at a minimum is required per our own code. Anything less is a breach of our own code of ethics." Stepping down, Thana didn't return to the balcony but instead took a seat next to Ash. She didn't look at him when she sat down but instead kept her eyes on Hunter and the Council.

Nikki went up after Thana, looking rather forlorn about what Thana had said. Nikki shoved her hands in her pockets and swallowed the piece of gum she had been chewing on. "Okay, he's a fuck up. So was I. Maddoc worked me through it, sure it was through a lot getting my ass handed to me but yeah, it worked. Yeah I didn't end up here but could have. Let him stay, if he fucks up again, then kick him without trial. Like probation. Can't we at least consider that?" Sighing, she didn't wait for an answer because she knew she wouldn't get one. Stepping down she refused to look at Hunter as she sunk back down into her seat.

Next up was Freedman. He pulled off his glasses slowly and folded them up in his hand. "Mr. Monroe suffers, from what I can see, many psychological issues. Do I feel he is a threat to the community? To a point. Do I believe he is a threat to himself? Yes, without question. I was going to suggest he be allowed to stay but double his therapy. I cannot in good conscious do that now all things considered. Yet I do not feel comfortable with him being outside of the walls. I suggest he be placed in our psychological locked ward with daily therapy for a minimal of six months and be reevaluated at that time." With having said that, Freedman placed his glasses back on and stepped down.

Stepping forward and speaking for the first real time during this trial was Shakespeare. "I prithee take thy fingers from my throat, for though I am not splenative and rash, Yet have I in me something dangerous, which let thy wiseness fear. Hold off thy hand. - I think of this when looking at Mr. Monroe. He has stated what he wouldn't do the community but it leaves a vast plethora of possibilities of transgressions he could attempt on those within these hallowed walls. Life long imprisonment or far vanquishment are our only options." It wasn't as flowery as some of his previous words but of course he did find something Shakespearean to say.

At the end of the line before the Council would start speaking was Tatiana. She kept moving back in line each time someone else stepped up. It wasn't until every one else was done did she move forward. "'Ve had someone like him in Newnan. Person vho perhaps had good in him but vould consistently end up hurting everyone. In 'ze end he caused a suicide, and a turnin'. Those two had to be put down and 'zen the person 'vho put them down killed this man. He was right. While he killed no on personally he brought death and chaos and fights to every aspect. Ve needed bodies, jobs needed doing. You do not need this here. He is like Walker. Causes problems, uses resources, contributes nothing, just eating. What do we do to Walkers? We put bullet in their skull. End of it. Put bullet in his skull, be done with it." Tatiana actually shrugged at the end of it and turned to step down. She stopped for a moment and looked at the council. "If no vishes to have to pull trigger, I vill vithout problem." Jack facepalmed as Tatiana walked down from the stage. As she passed Ash she stopped and looked at him. "He is another Richard, just 'vait and see." Moving down the row she went and sat down by her husband who was still sitting there like he couldn't believe she had actually just said that. She was no longer the little bird that was scared of a mouse anymore. Thana's eyes widened a bit and she glanced towards Ash, that was a bit blunt and harsh even for her, a woman who lead a strike team against a group and slaughtered them all for killing someone she hated. Wayne glanced over to Hank and breathed out heavily. Tatiana was brutal. If her kid took after her he was going to be a force he figured.

Being as Tatiana was the last one to give their two cents on the matter, outside of the Council, the Professor stood back up. She eyed Hunter for a moment before she began speaking. "The Council will now go and deliberate for a time. When we return we will each give our own yes or no so you know it on the record. Then the General will give his verdict. Please remember while everything that has been said is taken into account, he is the one and only one to pass judgement here in terms of guilt and sentence. Now everyone but the guards and Mr. Monroe may leave if you wish or you may stay. Either way, the judgement and the sentence will be made public to the entire camp and a transcript of the trial will be put in public records," she said before the Council rose and headed out off the stage, Rolodex cracking her fingers now that she didn't need to go with them. This was their private deliberation time.

Cage looked over to Hunter, "do you need to go to the bathroom while we have the chance?" he asked. If he needed to go Cage and Joaquin would go with him as per usual and bring him back to his seat. If not they would just remain where they were.

Camp Mexico Beach General: It is getting close to evening now and dinner time is just now starting to get underway - there will be a later meal for those that attended the trial. For those not in the trial you are free to head over for the evening meal if you want. It is nothing big tonight because of said trial. Basically think a sack lunch but on trays - simple sandwich's with sides of raw fruit and vegetables. It isn't the huge cooking the mess hall tries to normally do but it is filling and does it's job, plus it is much better than most anything people would be scraping together on the road.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Professor as well as the rest of the council watched Hunter as he gave his last words on the matter. In fact the only one that gave an indication of how Hunters words affected them was Maddoc, who placed both his hands over his face as he lowered his head. Once Hunter was seated again, the Professor turned and addressed everyone in general. "I and the rest of the council will wait to give our final thoughts before we exit to deliberate and the General makes his final decision on the matter." It was how all the Court Martials went, the Council was always the last to speak. They didn't want someone in the town trying to play favorites and while it couldn't be gotten away from completely leaving the last words to them kept others from trying to use what they said as weight later on because of more personal reasons. Words were too easy to twist. Hunter had proven this - he had taken one thing that was said, twisted it into something it wasn't and used it to make himself a victim.

Clearing her throat the Professor motioned towards the steps at the side of the stage. "Now, as those of you that have testified and those that have been watching the trial you now have your chance to speak. You can step over to the side here, come up onto the stage, and give your own personal feelings. Now remember the Town isn't on trial, this trial is about Mr. Monroe. If you have issues with how we do things those can be raised to any number of council members, this is not the time. You are to only think about if you feel that Mr. Monroe should remain in town or if he should be exiled, or any other subsequent punishment you feel is best. All of them will be weighed by the council and remember ultimately the final decision is up to the General."

Taking a step back, she motioned for anyone that wished to come up to speak to do so at this time. Thana rested her hand on the rail of the balcony before pushing herself to a standing position. As she did, she turned and headed to the side of the balcony and out the door so she could make her way down stairs. She wanted to say something about this and how she felt about Hunter being in town. She had seen court martials before, they didn't let anyone but witnesses testify so this was something new. Nikki bit her bottom lip and glanced over at Hunter, slowly she stood and went to get in line but took a back place as she didn't want to be any of the first people speaking. Tatiana and Jack seemed to lean into one another and started whispering to each other, a few nods and gestures went between them. Jack shook his head no but Tatiana stood up anyways and went to start moving down the row. Others started doing the same. Now was the time to speak if anyone had anything to say, once the verdict was delivered the matter would be closed. (Remember my PC's and NPC's will be going next round. You have this round alone to speak.)

Should be a round or two more before we are done with the court martial and then the verdict will be delivered. What is going to happen? Hell I don't even know yet. Will see how the dice fall, yes I am making a system to determine the verdict and it will be dependent on what the PC's and NPC's do and say or don't. Going to be interesting.

Camp Mexico Beach General: It didn't feel like it was long but it turned out to be longer than he suspected as Guy stepped out of Lucy's room and checked his watch. He had just been standing there looking at the pictures the child had drawn. It reminded him of something he didn't want to think about. Sighing he headed down the hallway and eventually out of the hospital. Stepping outside and glancing around he was hit by the heat and humidity of the Florida summer. It wasn't near as bad as it had been but after being in the air conditioning of the hospital for a while there was a significant enough difference between the two that caused him to break out into a sheen of sweat rather quickly. He figured it would go away quick enough as he stood there absently on the sidewalk and looked over the town.

In many ways this place reminded him of Newnan, before they had expanded to the Franklin section, only much larger. He wondered if this was what Newnan would have become eventually. They had had many things available to them that Camp Mexico Beach had, well maybe not as much but they had been doing well. Though knowing what had caused Newnan to fall there was nothing they could have done to stop it. He figured if the town ever did fall it was going to be because someone did something stupid, not mother nature. His feet gradually took him down the road, nodding a bit at those he passed by, until he reached the beach and looked out over it. Was this town ready for a natural disaster? He thought they must have had a plan, they did have an escape plan, much like Newnan had. At least they weren't on the west coast. They didn't have to worry about Earthquakes around here but that didn't mean there was nothing to worry about. Sure he was originally from Virginia but he knew of the storms that could hit the gulf. Breathing out he figured that was why they had people who did what seemed like nothing else but study the weather in town. If something was going to hit them they wouldn't have the National Weather Service issuing a warning anymore. Funny, how thinking about ways a settlement could be taken out actually made him feel better. Maybe not better but it at least got his mind of Lucy.

The Court Martial Of Hunter Monroe Location: Education Center: Auditorium (M) Charges: Food Waste - 7.22.2012 | Drunken Disorderly - 7.22.2012 Failure To Report To Duty At Designated Time - 7.23.2012 | 10-886 Absence Without Leave - 7.23.2012 Failure To Administer Animal Sanitation - 7.23.2012 | Gross Insubordination - 7.23.2012

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Professor scowled slightly towards Hunter as he spoke. What he was saying wasn't something she expected and he really wasn't answering the question. "So instead of working to try to get along with anyone in camp so you could have a few cards dealt to you eventually you decided to be constantly hostile towards its members?" The question was more rhetorical than anything as she stood there holding her note pad against her chest. "You might be surprised just how many cards some of your quarantine companions actually hold." Turning her head she glanced around to those present. "From their records there are at least half a dozen of them I do not believe would need anything but perhaps a pool stick to end your life, if not just their bare hands. At least two of them directly threatened your life." she said as she scanned the witnesses. She stopped and looked at several for a few seconds longer than the rest: Ash, Wayne, Thalia, even Amelia and Nigel and Hank got a linger gaze. Turning her attention back to Hunter she continued. "Yes, we could have ended your life but we didn't. In fact you were treated well, shown more respect than you returned: shown if not clearly until now by you being here unharmed and on trial instead out right executed. Why keep pushing the issue? You say you don't think you want to die. Are you trying to tell us instead that you pose a very real threat to the community?"

Hunter listed as The Professor spoke and made it clear she was far from pleased. She brought up points that shouldn't have surprised him but did as well. Many of the people in the room were more then capable of causing him harm while they were all locked up. Hell, he debated a few times what could work in his favor. It should have been easy to recognize how badly things could have turned while in quarantine but like many things, it didn't always click. He took a moment to think about his answer, his fingers interlocked but rarely still as he thought. "Took until today to see the issue." It was the only thing that made sense to him. He was dense as a rock, and it didn't always register when he didn't understand something. It didn't help to change an idea that was in his head either once he got it. "But no. I have no intentions of being a threat to the community." He paused for a moment thinking on something. "Even before all..." he emphasized his hands to the trial in general. "...this. Mostly for what you said before. Not dead yet. Plus the coffee was nice too." He still hadn't given an explanation to his actions and he wasn't totally sure how. Not that any answer he could give would be a good one. He needed to think of something though. "I've never been good with authority figures. Of any kind. Many give the impression they think they are more important then they actually are. Many of the ones I have met have a tendency to act like they are better then I am. And too many have gotten those under them killed for selfish purposes. Even before the end of the world I was bitter to those who had a bigger say in my life then I did. Even if many others had good intentions." He couldn't be sure if that answered the question or not. But it was the closest he could come up with to explain his reasoning. Today had pointed out many flaws in his logic he likely wouldn't have noticed on his own. "Plus, if I really wanted to be a threat of any kind. I wouldn't have gotten on that bus. I got on because I am tired of sleeping in abandoned buildings and having no one to talk to other then my dog. Izibell's not the best conversationalist..."

As Hunter spoke, the Professor turned around and picked up a file from off of the table where the council was sitting. "You say that you are bitter towards those that have more say in your life than you do. It makes me wonder why you would continue to cause issues, thus having more and more of your own freedoms taken away. It seems counter intuitive Mr. Monroe." Turning around she opened the file and glanced over it. "And it says here in your personal file that you were a member of the U.S. National Guard." Looking up from the file and towards Hunter she continued. "If you have a problem with authority it seems odd to join the military. They are nothing but rules and regulations and remove basically all your control as you must do what you are ordered to do." Closing the file she held it in front of her and waited on an answer. "So, why did you join? It seems as contradictory as you coming to this settlement."

Out of all the questions he expected to be asked, he should have expected this one. As he did expect though, his answer to the previous question wasn't too well liked. It was as close to an answer he could come up with, but he knew it wasn't a good answer. But it seemed more then clear by this point his judgement and reasoning had some flaws to it. Unlike the last one he had an answer that he could properly explain for this one. "I joined for a lot of reasons. I joined to afford school because there was no way my family could afford it. I joined because only a few years prior some assholes killed nearly three thousand people in the World Trade Center and I thought it would be good to give those fuckers a taste of their own medicine. I joined a bit out of spite just to prove to everyone who said I'd never be able to accomplish anything with my life that I could. I..." He hesitated. Though they were justifications, they were far from the main reason he joined. He wasn't sure how much he wanted to share in front of the people here. But of the two likely scenarios one ended with getting Izibell back, and the other involved never seeing anyone here again. Priorities. "I ran away from home and had been living on my friend's couch for about a week or so and realized I needed to do something with my life. Anything. For better or worse I wasn't as nearly as out spoken then as I am now. So with some fudged numbers and technicalities from the recruiter I was in. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Had the world not ended maybe it would have been." Without going into needless detail that was about as full a version as he could present. He was doing his best to cooperate, but many things he didn't fully understand himself. And some things he did, he had no idea how to explain those thoughts.

"Everything you are stating Mr. Monroe seems to be contradictory. You snapped at a fellow quarantine member about speaking bad about your mother but you ran away from home. Join the military to prove you could do something but buck against it's very foundation. You admit to lying to join the military but act as if we should trust you, say we hold all the cards but continually throw any card dealt to you back in our face. More than that you say if you wished to be a threat to us you wouldn't have gotten on that bus which leaves me wondering - just what would you have done to people who had done nothing to you just to be a threat or if you are lying straight to us currently when you try to insinuate with that statement that you are not a threat. Are you going to sit there and tell me, under oath, that you are not a threat to us? That you haven't planned to be a threat? Even when we have people who can testify that on your way over here you were actually asking about if we would kill you if you tried to make a break for it. Mr. Monroe you are either lying under oath by telling straight out lies or by omission." The Professor was not buying the obvious contradictions. Macsen cleared his throat again and the Professor looked at him. Another slip of paper was passed over, to which she picked up and read it. Nodding she folded it up and then looked back at Hunter. "So, Mr. Monroe, which is it? What version of what you are trying to tell us is actually the truth or are you so far gone that you yourself don't even know? I would ask if you where exiled would you seek retribution on this community but I believe that answer is a resounding yes."

Questioning had taken another harsh turn, and showed no signs of letting up. "You want to tell me one family that was perfect I'm all ears. I had a fight with my fucking father and regretted it for fucks sake! Doesn't give any room for some jackshit I just met to talk crap about my mother. And I never admitted to having the best of plans, most plans I've come up with tend to go belly up the first few tries. And before things went to shit I was actually doing half well! And fine, fuck it. I'll admit it was dishonest as hell to fudge my numbers when I joined but when the recruiter brought up the idea it seemed like a half good one at the time. Like I said I was pretty convinced I had nowhere else left to go so if he said it was cool then fuck it who am I to correct him?" He was flustered at this point. Not as bad as other outbursts. But the trial had worn down what restraint he had to a rather thin point. He took a moment to breath before considering the questions at hand. "I have no intentions on being a threat to anyone. But it doesn't take a genius to know that I'm not exactly great at portraying that. Fuck it, for all I know maybe I am all gone and I haven't realized it yet." He finished the comment with a shrug and his tone rather drained compared to the rant from moments ago. "If exiled right now, with my understanding of things as they are then no. I wouldn't seek retribution. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't consider coming back for Izibell, but there's no way to pull that off without things coming to blows. And that's not what I want. Especially since she seems happy here. Likely I'd just go back home and figure out things from there." The spark of energy he had burned down rather fast. At this point he was convinced that he was fucked no matter what he answered as he had no good answers for anything they wanted to know.

There was a smirk that came to the Professors lips. "My my Mr. Monroe, I see you are finally starting to show your true colors. You speak against those that have done you no harm, lie about what happened, have been hostile towards many here, and yet you are losing your temper when presented with such things. If you do not like people speaking about your family I would suggest that you shouldn't lash out and make yourself a target. Now, where was I? Oh yes... Furthermore you seem to want us to actually believe that it hasn't at least crossed your mind to be a threat to us when you have blatantly stated otherwise, which is backed up by testimony from those present." Stopping she turned away from the man and set her notebook down on the table where the council was seated. "I believe I am finished with the questions General," she said towards Aeron. He nodded slightly before she turned back around and looked at Hunter. "Now that I am done with questioning this is your opportunity to either step down and be finished with your part of this court martial until a verdict is delivered or speak on your own behalf if you have anything else to say." Standing there she waited for any closing arguments from Hunter if he had them, once he was done he was free to go return to the seat he had occupied for the majority of the Court Martial.

I am hoping this next round should be the last round for his questioning. Remember those who have characters present for this you can combine your post under a single header and just post a total of 2 paragraphs if you need to just put a filler post or if things are hectic. No worries. After I finish with the questioning of Hunter on the stand I will be calling for PC's to say anything they wish about how they feel about the character either remaining or being removed from the camp. (And just to let you know - no, that decision has not been made yet - it is still up in the air - so even I don't know currently what will happen next lol)

Camp Mexico Beach General: The town was becoming busier as the evening was drawing near. It was late afternoon by now and the weather was becoming more pleasant than it had been most of the day. Yes it was still hot and yes it will still muggy but the rain had cleared for now and the temperature was starting to drop. There were some that were becoming curious to the court case now that it had been going on for some time but that got side tracked as people had seen Mary walk into the Education Center. She would have only gone there for one reason - someone had died in the hospital. It was no secret that Lucy had been ill and her days were numbered. This gave a rather solemn feeling to the town.

Medic and Guy had seen to taking care of Lucy's body, what they could do. Medic decided to sit with her body for a while. Why he wasn't sure but he didn't feel right leaving her. Guy on the other hand couldn't take it. There was something about children that hit him hard. Instead he went back upstairs and looked around the girls room, or what had been her room. Walking over he picked up a crayon and rolled it around in his fingers. He had only met Lucy once before but she had been bubbly and bright. He had thought that was what he figured Tatiana had been like as a child considering the way she had been in Newnan. Now, he wasn't so sure. He had tried talking to her since he had gotten back but she was a very different person now.

Outside of the General Housing some of the teens and kids were out, wanting to get out of their apartments and condos. The sidewalks were drying and for once clear of pollen and sand thanks to the rain. A bucket of old and broken pieces of chalk and limestone chunks was hauled out by one of them. Sitting down and grabbing a few pieces each the kids each seemed to claim a little block of sidewalk for themselves and started drawing. It was a way to pass the time and while the drawings varied greatly they all seemed to have a common piece in them - each one held a flower somewhere on the image.

The Professor stood there and a thin brow rose over her eye. This was a person that was up to be removed from the community or worse. His expression was not what she expected, nor was the lack of mannered 'nope' he so laxidasically answered with. She heard a clearing of the throat and looked towards the source, it was Macsen. Nodding she looked back at Hunter. "Mr. Monroe, you seem to be exhibiting a rather taxing demeanor at this point and dare I say even exuding hostility. For someone who wished to try to defend himself the attitude which you come to the stand is concerning to myself and the council. Do you wish to step down and be exiled from the community at this point instead of wasting even more of our time and resources?" she asked with a dry and flat tone as she stood there.

Hunter found himself pushing his luck again. He found himself unsure how to respond, and attempted to be careful with his words to avoid making things worse. "I um..." Great start. "Sorry. That's not my goal. I'm just..." He hesitated, attempting to pick his words carefully. "Trying to not make things worse then they already are. It's not working." His goal was to say as little as possible while answering the questions, avoid going on a rant, and keep it smooth. And if things went well, he'd avoid making things worse. His fingers started fidgeting again as he tried to figure out what to do. "Please, I'll answer whatever you want. I'll admit I fucked up. Badly. A lot. On all charges." There was a mix of remorse and fear in his tone as he attempted damage control of the situation.

"Fair enough," The Professor stated when she spotted not only the change in demeanor but in attitude over all. "We just want the truth so we can see how to proceed and want to ensure this is something you are not doing to just see how much you can get away with," she added as she looked at Hunter. Taking a breath she looked back down at her notes. "Now, let's continue." Flipping a page in her notes she finally looked back at Hunter. "You are not denying the charges so we will start at the beginning. It has been established that you have taken one phrase.." She paused as she referenced her notes. "And I quote - 'Kid, seriously, you are a stones throw from getting shot, just shut up for five seconds' rather personal. Now, from the testimony of those present you had exhibited at least three previous accounts of hostility or threats towards the Team on the ground before this was said by our Operations Officer Maddoc Martin. We also have testimony by several that you took what was said and retold it with a twist - saying that you were the kid to that got threaten to be shot in the head. Would you care to clarify this for me? Either all those that have testified have lied about what happened and you were actually threatened to be shot or you have been going around our town telling people a lie. Which is it Mr. Monroe?"

Hunter had to think about the answer for a moment, he wasn't sure what the answer was specifically, but he had a pretty good idea of what it was not. "So..." He struggled again, the words not coming to mind as he needed them too, the pressure of those deciding his fate watching him as well as a large portion of the camp. "I guess the second one. I took it personal, and..." He froze. And what? He stuttered a bit as he tried to figure out the words to explain what was going on in his mind. "Panicked." He didn't know how else to word it. He fucked up, and he had no idea how to word it other then that.

"You panicked? For three weeks steady? To constantly perpetuate this lie? And on top of that there were at least three individuals that threatened your life directly," The Professor said as she looked at Hunter not really accepting the explanation he gave. "Mr. Holloway said he would feed your body to the corpses personally. Ms. Decker body slammed you to the ground and told you the next wrong move you made she would kill you. Mr. Maldonado has stated he would rip every last tooth out of your head and string it on a necklace, interesting. None of which were part of the town and were infect part of your quarantine group." she read off from her notepad before looking back at Hunter and quirking a brow. "Yes since these moments you have not demonstrated any hostility towards those or others, just attitude at best. Seems as if the warning the warranted because as soon as you stepped into camp you caused yourself to actually be threatened. Seems as if the members of the quarantine group had had guns you would have been shot within the first day. Care to explain why such direct threats on your life are taken as general speaking and lack of reaction any you hung onto a non threat with our own community?"

Hunter had to think about that. All of that. He had no answer to explain his actions and he wasn't sure if the best option was to admit that or not. "Yeah, you're probably right. They probably would have." He wanted to give an answer to explain his actions, but looking back on things he couldn't come up with a decent reason. "I don't think I have an answer you're looking for." He hesitated a bit as his fidgeting started to continue again. "Maybe it was easier to see the fuck up with them then it was out there. Maybe it was because they weren't armed." He did feel bad after what happened with Tatiana. Not to the extent he needed to so he'd fix things the way that was needed. But it was easier for him to see where he fucked up there then with Maddoc. "Sorry. I don't know how to explain it." It was genuine. Seeing how things played out, he got an outside perspective of how others saw him now. But it still left him confused as to why he was more hostile towards some then others. Or why he realized how badly he fucked up at different rates. Maybe it was as simple as a general distrust of authority figures. Or maybe it was just his own stubbornness and stupidity preventing him from being able to move on from things not clearly explained. Today seemed to be leaning towards the second motion.

The Professor listened intently to what Hunter was saying. As he finished she had to turn as she heard someone clear their throat. It was Macsen once again. "Just a moment," she said as she held up a finger before walking over to the table which the rest of the council was sitting behind. A note was slipped to her across the table. Picking it up she read over it before nodding and pocketing it. Taking a breath she turned her attention back to Hunter and continued with her next question. "Mr. Monroe, you were threatened with your life by several people whom you shared quarantine with. All of them without weapons and under guard. It begs to reason that if you were going to hostile towards anyone it would be them as they posed the least threat. Yet you have continued to push those who have not threatened your life. Even to the point as just before you entered this building for the trial you seemed to push it even further. 'Hope you're aim's good'," she said quoting what was said towards Joaquin. "More than that, those with the actual ability to take your life or that of your dog. Not saying we would but let me continue. As we posed the greatest threat to life and limb it begs the question.... And be honest as there are no right or wrong answers... Are you just trying to see how far you can push us, like a toddler, before we actually pull the trigger or do you legitimately want to die in such a way that somehow validates yours own ego?"

Hospital (B): Mary nodded slightly towards Lisa but she stayed silent. Mary was rough and disliked by many because of her attitude but the woman had a somber spot in her and it showed anytime they lost someone in town, especially when it was one of the younger ones. Mary had once been a mother herself. She had lost her daughter to a drunk driver and kids hit her especially hard. As Lisa left the room, she was right, Lucy was in good caring hands. They took care of Lucy like she was a delicate doll as they rolled her out of the room and into the makeshift morgue. Lucy would have a proper funeral, most likely the next day. Lucy being one of the few children in town would likely have many people want to go and that would be an issue with so many outside the walls but it would be dealt with. For now, they did what they could to keep her body cool and start preparing to lay her to rest. The hospital was quiet, more so than it had been, as word spread with the rest of the patients.

Stepping outside of the hospital sometime later Medic shook his head. He would need to inform the council as soon as the trial was over. Making his way over to the Education building he went up to the second floor and took a seat in the back of the balcony quietly, sitting down as to not draw attention to himself but be available as soon as the trial was over to let The General know so an announcement could be made.

As Hunter was brought to the witness seat and sworn in the place was quiet. Thana watched from above wondering just how this part was going to go. Was Hunter going to deny anything happened? He would be hard pressed to prove any of the evidence was wrong. Sure it was possible but it was about as likely as all the Walkers suddenly dropping dead and the world getting back to normal. Not out of the realm of possibility but certainly not something that was likely to happen without the direct hand of God reaching down and causing it to happen. Thana was not a believer in God.

The Professor stood there with a note pad, one that she had been writing on during the other witnesses testimonies thus far. A list of points she wanted to address if Hunter took the stand. She hadn't figured he actually would testify but she wanted to be prepared if he did. Now he was here and it was time to get his personal testimony under way. "You have now been sworn in and please remember that like with anyone else that testified, if anything you say is proven false you will face a worse punishment than what you are currently facing. Currently the recommendation when the charges were filed was eviction from the town." It was a reminder of what was stated at the beginning of the trial to others that had been sworn in. What was worse than banishment? There were several things, one of which included execution.

"You will be given a chance later in the proceedings to actually speak your mind and say what you will. This is not a time to plead your case, that will come later. For now we will stick to a series of questions I have for you and any others that come up depending on your answers," The Professor informed Hunter as she looked down at her note pad.

"Let's start with the simplest of questions: do you deny any of the charges? If so, which ones and why?" Looking back at Hunter, The Professor stood there and waited for an answer before proceeding.
