As everybody left the bus and they got ready to start moving, Amelia carefully held her weapons as she watched Riley prepare hers and with Atticus telling them to follow, she started walking. The graveyard was rather… well calm? Her eyes scanned the obvious direct surroundings and she barely felt anything as she saw the many different tombstones and the occasional tree. Her eyes narrowed at the way everything was rather lit up by the blazing sun. Quite different from what one would usually think off when they think of a graveyard.

Normally people would think of dark, gritty, possibly misty and shady. Perhaps even humid and unsettling with distant crows. A very clichΓ© like appearance. This seemed so different, probably because of the climate zones she supposed. What was even more curious was the distinct lack of feelings and opinions at well a graveyard. Suddenly she realized that for all that graveyards represented, they felt like a place where one can truly be at peace and quiet. With the lack of Walkers so far, it felt rather… okey.

With the world’s default state nowdays, Amelia finally realized that places like cities, villages and other such locations of life and civilization previously, now felt a lot more scary and connected with death than this graveyard. Her thoughts had kept her mind occupied all the way to the location of the people they came to visit. Overlooking the graves, Amelia looked at the priest and shook her head lightly.” I’m personally in no need of anything special. Thank you.” She told him as she walked over to Jame’s grave and stood about a step away from it. Looking at the dates on it, her mood twisted somewhat and she sighed.

Amelia didn’t say anything aloud, what she had to say to him, she kept in her mind. Final goodbyes were said a long time ago, before he even died. She just didn’t want to face the finality of it until now. The saying that time would heal all wounds was to at least a degree true. She did miss the man, but it was already so long. At least he had a proper resting place.” I missed you, so glad for this chance to say proper goodbye. It’s time to accept reality, sadly.” She said quietly making a step back.” Not sure when and if I will be able to come again, so… Until next time… one way or another.” She said taking a deep breath and turning around. She didn't need loong time to say final words, now she had a more important task. Be ready for shit to hit the fan.

β€œI thought so.” She said to herself with a smile, hearing about her new schedule arrangements. Back to learning and working, not that she complained really, she might have initially, after years of completely following no rules rather than her own, but in the time since then, she actually grew to appreciate the structured living in the camp. Living with other people and following societal rules or at least those that still applied, made it easier to maintain a better outlook on life and she was all about that!” Seems I’m going to be kept busy for a while, guess it’s time to push back my requests to arrange traps for a while.” She chuckled, there went her hobby.

Not waiting to be reminded, Lisa hurriedly complied with Mary’s order and made a direct line to the door, leaving the lab. Once it was locked, she started to take off the lab suits, not the most comfortable things to wear, but it wasn’t terribly bad all things considering. At least they weren’t outside in the heat! She was glad to be out of the suit.” So I get the rest of the day off?” She asked, a bit confused.” Well I won’t complain about it, many thanks for it.” She told Mary with a smile and nodded.” Doing this while maintaining absolute calm might take a little bit of practice and experience, but point noted. I will keep my calm as much as possible.”

β€œOn that note, are you sure I shouldn’t at least finish up what was left from the other spaces down in the basement? We didn’t finish the entire usual space of the basement aside the lab for the blood tests, because we went to the boat.” She asked, taking her work ethic to heart. Still if Mary and the other people calling the shots really wanted her to rest now, she wouldn’t mind it at all. She fancied herself some lazying in bed and maybe going for a game night afterwards.

Her head resting on Riley’s shoulder, her eyes were looking to the side out the window of the bus. They were traveling for a bit out of the walls now when they reached the cemetery. Amelia’s hand softly squeezed the handle of the bat, reassuring and confirming it’s presence as she relaxed it a bit again. The sun was blazing outside and she was wondering how hot it would feel to step outside after being in the nice comfortably air conditioned bus.

Her eyes glided across different gravestones and the trees. Padre and Bass were outside, so if something was clearly present, she expected the gunshots to happen soon, but nothing was heard as they got a bit deeper into the graveyard until they finally stopped. Moments later the green light to leave the bus was given. Amelia’s eye twitched as she stood up and went to leave. With one hand holding a spiked baseball bat and another holding an axe, she disembarked the vehicle.

Stepping out of it, she felt the heat right away. The hat she was nicely given by Nikki did help to keep the sun out of her eyes at the very least, but darn this was hot and stuffy. She really had to find a way to express her gratitude to Auntie and Nikki for the dress and the hat. They were a life saver in this heat! Thinking about gratitude and the fucking heat, Amelia made a few steps to the side to clear the door of the bus and looked around, hands holding the weapons in the ready, though honestly she only needed one of them… the bat especially was a two handed weapon for ideal situations. Well she could always just drop one if she had to, so she wasn’t going to leave one just yet. The short axe could be wielded in one hand easily enough. She waited for Riley to also get off the bus and then hurriedly got into close guarding position by the other woman.” Need to keep an eye out...” She told Riley, not trusting the seeming calmness of the area.

Lisa calmly and quietly from the side waited for Mary to finish inspecting the batch. She was pretty sure she did it right in the end there, but it was a bit of a lucky one. The silence in the room was a bit heavy as the inspection progressed, but Lisa felt rather good right now. With her in high spirits, she smiled as she was slowly pinching her leg to pass the time. It was actually kind of interesting to watch Mary work. She looked so proficient at it too.

After a wait that seemed a lot longer than it was, Mary finally said the words… Or rather that’s what Lisa would have thought if the words spoken weren’t the ones that were. She rose an eyebrow and nodded.” Thanks, but I will be honest that’s because I’ve had good teachers and was specialized into learning for this specifically...” She said with serious voice, before continuing.” Didn’t spare the efforts and most importantly of all… I Was fucking lucky. I honestly can’t believe I managed it, I wouldn’t say I’d happen with good regularity quiet yet. Got more to learn from ya. Besides for those 8 years you’ve got a whole lot of knowledge I might never actually get to learn.” She added.

With a smile and happy thoughts she started to fulfill Mary’s new task which was to sterilize after her. At least this step wasn’t too different from the regular lab.” I really should redouble my efforts on my studies if I’m to work here. Don’t want to be wasting ingredients… leaves bad aftertaste to do so.” She mumbled and sighed. Still she was glad for her luck today, however she didn’t think that luck could be counted on.

Looking around, resting her head on Riley’s shoulder, Amelia waited patiently for the bus to leave the camp, pondering a whole set of misc topics and ideas on what she could do to properly give her thanks to Nikki. It was hard to figure out actually, she had no way of actually doing anything for her, she couldn’t provide her with anything. While in thought, they passed by the gates and finally found themselves outside. Amelia’s eyes glanced out the window, frowning, now that they were back in the dangerous great wide world. So far no walkers could be seen, she supposed, but you never knew.

Her attention was attracted by their caretakers who started explaining how the whole weapon situation was going to go down. Nothing too crazy honestly, about as expected, she wondered if they will actually count the bullets afterwards, like weapon by weapon. They did say to return all unspent ammo so, they might be? She pushed the thought away as the guns started to be given out, at least until it was her turn. Padre called out her name and after a spark of confusion on her side when he pulled the other bag, her eyes took on an enthusiastic sparkle as the contents were revealed.” A bat! Thank you! I will be careful!” She nodded repeatedly as she took her temporary weapons. She didn’t dwell much on the temporary status, but the mere presence of having the bat and an axe at arm distance, made her feel secure. Granted the spiked bat looked gruesome and she preferred a more traditional setup for her bats, but it was still a god damned bat dammit! She gripped the handle and smiled in happy manner.

Daytona’s voice brought her attention to the fact that they were nearing the cemetery. She looked at Riley for comfort and rested back in the seat, right hand not letting go of the bat at all. All was good in the world now, she could protect Riley and herself should something go wrong out there. Hopefully nothing does, but counting her luck, her paranoia...ahmm carefulness, didn’t allow her to not consider the worst possible options. Soon they’d be out of the bus and the dangerous part will begin.

Lisa’s eyes were narrowed at the samples in front of her. She had restarted her efforts with it, having only one step left to complete, however she hit a snag pretty much right away once more. She was certain she had done everything right this time around, however it didn’t seem to be the case.” … β€œ Her hand hovered in the air for a moment, before she grabbed the folder, gave it a quick look over and then placed the thing back down, eyes narrowing at the samples like a predator on prey. She had gotten to this point, this wasn’t beating her.

Clearing stray thoughts away, she recalled the lessons, she recalled what she read in the folder just moments prior and looked at the samples once more. Somewhere in this big maze of things to do was the path to success, she just had to follow it. With hands moving with purpose, she began the next attempt, paying no further attention to distractions as she began working on the sample. It was a task that was very delicate, she still felt uncomfortable with it and result would be known only when she’s done. The moments seemed to go on to eternity as she finally was done and checked the result, to confirm if everything was fine.” Well… it’s done.” Lisa stated flatly with calm face, pulling a bit away from the samples to allow Mary to double check the results.

β€œNot that anything, but I wouldn’t dare work on even imagine working on this outside of controlled testing situation like this one. It seems I’m still too green when it comes to this, sadly.” She said with a smile. She wasn’t too sad about the struggle. If they had given her to do this a while back, she didn’t think she would have succeeded at all! So she certainly took this as a sign of great improvement, allowing herself some optimism!

With the bus well moving to the outer perimeter of the walled camp, a talk about the outing. A fair point was brought about the fact that for some reason walkers always seemed to show up in inconvenient situations and times. To her rather pleasant surprise, they were told that while on the outside, they would be given some weapons for protection at the very least. A smile appeared on her face as she approved of that idea very much. Without a weapon she felt very naked and defenseless. Before they arrived at the camp, she had slept fully armed for what now seemed like eternity. The lack of a bat in her possession make her so damn restless at times. For example a bat would have helped when she saw that infernal beast hound earlier at Supply.

As the bus got to the gates, Amelia was pondering what they would be given. Somehow she didn’t think they would be given fully loaded firearms. So she was almost certain, they will be likely given melee weapons. She was fine with that. Hopefully they had a bat. Her mind busy with pondering the weaponry situation, she looked at Riley who was with her and stopped thinking of weapons for a moment. Then she relaxed in her seat, realizing that she should calm down more. They were still safe inside the walls and inside a bus. Focusing on Riley’s presence, she pulled herself from the possible dangers and looked outside, watching the surroundings around the gate.

Seeing the way the sun was brightly shining outside and how it was delivering heat even through the windows, made her ponder the fact it was in fact summer now. A summer so far south at that. At least the bus was enjoyable enough with the fact it was nice and air cooled, but she was actually glad she had the dress now. She had to thank Nikki again for it! Amelia halted that train of thought though, she had already said her thanks to the girl for so many reasons, so words seemed so cheap. Was there something she can do for her? Now that was the real question.

Lisa’s attention was focused to the utmost, but at the end of the day, this was still the first time she was doing this. Between having to check regularly the guide in the folder and the fact that she simply wasn’t used to it yet, making a mistake with one of the steps was bound to happen eventually. She tried to lessen the chance to fuck up, read the guide carefully, paid attention, but it still happened, right after the first 3 initial ones.” Fuck.” She cussed as she realized the step was botched. So the initial luck of the rookie ended at step three. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself to do it again, pulling the folder first, rereading the step and making note of everything.

β€œAlright… this time… like this… here...” She mumbled quietly to herself as she was mostly repeating the same process like last time, but correcting her mistakes from that time.” Mmm… β€œ She mumbled a quiet tune of some undetermined kind as she finally pulled her arms away from the batch with content smile.” Alright… step four done. One left… It will work out.” She reassured herself and got to work with the final step. However the final step proved to be the next stumbling block as it failed.” Fucking hell, what did I screw up this time?” She asked herself and pulled the folder yet again, going through everything for another time. Yeah as she suspected she wasn’t quite ready for practical work with reliable results all the time. This was going to be a metaphorical being thrown in the deep end to learn to swim moment.

Lisa focused her mind on the task once more. She had to succeed next time, even if it wasn’t perfect. Good job here, meant good life and good situation for the camp as a whole. The medicines were of key importance and with the earned credits, she could get something else for herself. One step at a time though.” Once more...” She turned to the tools and samples again.

Now loaded and seated into the bus, it wasn’t much later when everybody had gotten onto it with padre being the last and closing the doors. She noted the guy on guard by the back door. She wasn’t certain if it was for their protection in case something or someone tries to charge through the back door of it was to make sure they wouldn’t attempt anything. After a brief thought, she concluded it was just paying attention on them rather than possible outside dangers. Deciding that it was enough of looking around the bus for the moment, she put the clothing she was still holding onto her lap and rested her head on Riley’s shoulder.

β€˜It’s going to be fine.’ Amelia thought, repeating reassuring words to herself as her hand found Riley’s and gently squeezed it. They wouldn’t bring them just to die there, there were armed people to be on guard in case it was needed. Granted two or three people wouldn’t be enough if a horde appears, but a horde would be noticed from a good distance away, or so she hoped. As much as she wanted to pay her long respects to James, she wasn’t sure if staying outside the bus longer than the absolute minimum required was a good idea.

She closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying Riley’s presence so close. Somehow it felt a like a field trip if she cut off the armed guards from the image. An organized vacation field try somewhere to visit a historical monument or the like. It wasn’t of course, but it was a nice thing to imagine even for a moment. It was short lived though as her eyes quickly darted back open moments later, looking around for anything out of order, before closing down again. Maybe it was the fact she sprinted like that earlier, or the mixture of stress and Riley's calming presence, but she felt a bit sleepy, so she forced herself to open her eyes. She didn't dare sleep right now, it wasn't safe. Still she didn't remove her head from her lover's shoulder.

β€žI see. I hope I will live up to that view.” Lisa replied as she followed Mary into the lab. It kind of made sense, they had gotten quite the number of new residents at the same time, so they had to make sure supply will meet the eventual demand. Granted the demand for medicine was the worst demand of all, so it made the task even more important. She was honestly nervous and hopeful now. She wanted to do a good job and prove her worth and also do a good thing for the camp. It would be nice to be of help and the credit wouldn’t be too bad to have.

Now within reach of all the tools and supplies that made the chemical magic work, Lisa switched to serious state and very intently listened to the other woman. As every single thing was being explained she made mental notes and supposed them with everything she had learned. Granted now when she was about to do it for real, it seemed a lot more complex and harder, but she had to do it. Finally finishing the explanation part, she took the folder and gave it a quick, but focused look over. The steps of the walk through were cleanly enough defined.” Well… the worst that can go wrong is my death. No point in worrying to the point of panic!” She smiled and said to herself with optimistic upbeat voice, then got to work after stretching her arms.

With utmost care she began the first step after checking the folder. She had to go through the first batch. Carefully she started the different procedures. There were quite a few steps ahead of her and she was only starting up. Since this was the first time doing this, she was somewhat worried and very careful. Luckily the first step passed without an incident. As such she proceeded onwards with the second step on the list, following the walk through to the letter and making notes of it all while working, she smiled. It was actually nice to be entrusted this task, even if it was because of circumstance. Suddenly realizing her mind was wandering off, her eyebrows creased as she returned her attention properly to the task. There was time for her head to be in the clouds later! Second step proceeded without issue and she entered the third one. Reading through the folder contents, paying attention to not miss anything, she started the third step on it. With deep breath, followed by a sigh of relief the third step was eventually completed as well. Her hands pulled away for a moment, as she took another deep breath. So far so good, but it was another question if her luck and skills will hold up to the end. Her eyes moved onto the folder to check the next step.

Confirmation to her suspicion that the graveyard wasn’t a safe location came right away when Padre started speaking and replied to the Manny guy. So they were heading outside the walls and they weren’t going to be armed?’ Great…’ She was starting to having second thoughts and debate in her mind if going there was worth the risk, however Riley did seem interested in visiting to pay respect to James and Amelia was feeling the same, it was just the issue with safety. However they did have armed escorts and a bus to hide in. Push comes to shove, hide in the bus.’ Okay… it’s probably going to be okey. If it isn’t… there’s bound to be something avaible to whack a walker to death with.’ She concluded in her mind. Makeshift blunt force weapons were everywhere, you just needed to pick them up!

Listening to the Padre speak she got a rough idea of what was the way to proceed. As far as mourning rituals went, it was probably the most complete one she’d thought she'd be part of post apocalypse. Amelia planned to just use the time to silently say her last farewells with James and pay attention to the surroundings. She didn’t need more, not in the world they were living in. As the word to get onto the bus was given, she with Riley in hand headed for the bus to take their own seats somewhere on it, but she halted momentary when Padre addressed her.

Having halted mid step, she put her leg back to the ground and looked at him, thinking for a moment she nodded.” Alright. Thank you.” She replied with a grateful, but still somewhat concerned nod. So coupling together everything she had heard until now, it was likely they had put some effort into arranging this. She was grateful, but honestly was still wondering what they needed the bags for… Pushing the thoughts of suspicious bags out of her mind, she led Riley towards the back of the bus where they took their seats so they can get the journey on the road and seriously pondered what it would take to pry something off the bus to use as a weapon in the case of emergency.

β€žOhh?” Lisa made a sound that expressed her clear curiosity as the additional cleaning work was denied from her schedule in a rather surprising manner. She looked at Mary with serious expression, knowing that the woman wouldn’t have pulled her out of it, unless she had another task for it. The comment that followed, put her suspicions to rest, by them being confirmed.” Really? That’s… great!” She was actually very happy to hear that. She was being given the chance to participate in the more serious tasks, involving what she’s been studying about until now! How could she not be happy about it?

Listening to Mary’s explanations she followed close behind the other woman as she was led to the lab she never entered before. This was an area off limit to her until now, so she was honestly very uncertain what she’d find here, but she knew what was to happen and with the continued explanation given, there wasn’t any room to doubt.” Penicillin huh.” She mumbled, thinking about everything she’s heard and read. The most basic one yet maybe the most important one in a situation like this. This was a very big thing they tossed at her suddenly without warning. The things behind this door were technically priceless for the camp!

Lisa didn’t speak right away, waiting to hear everything the woman had to say, including the warnings. It wasn’t surprising, medicine was priceless. She took a deep breath and calmed her nerves, before nodding.” Roger that, I’m going to give it my all. ” She reassured, but to a degree it was also confirming it to herself.’If I have the abysmal luck to fuck this up, do make it quick… though I might enjoy it otherwise... Better hope not. I like it here.’ She didn’t actually say this part. Her eyes went to the suits and masks as they entered through the door. Carefully she started putting those on, making sure to be attentive while putting them, so nothing goes wrong. She didn’t want a stray hair or something fucking everything up.” I’m actually feeling nervous, it’s been a while since I’ve felt this.” She mused as she was putting the finishing touches or in other words the mask. With that in place she stood ready by Mary." Ready. Though to be honest I didn't expect to be doing this so suddenly today."
