Janette waited until the people of haven started to stir. Not many saw the point in working, but those who didn’t do their fair share of work didn’t stay in Haven. Janette may be a kind woman, but she wasn’t such a pushover that she would feed and house freeloaders. Once everyone assembled to the church Janette doled out the orders.

[color=fdc68a]”Okay everyone, here’s today's plans: Currently our food stock isn’t sufficient to last us through the winter. Not even if we ate only once a day and ate only as little as we can. And that’s only assuming that we still have all our food by the time winter hits, because I can assure you once it does a lot of it might go bad. So I’m dividing everyone up into two teams: One team will go into the fields and try to harvest whatever corn or soybean is ripe and ready for processing. I know it’s not quite time for harvest, but we don’t know what the future may hold. Another team I want to go scavenging through the ruins. You know what that means: I want you to go into the city and try to find a source of supplies. I don’t expect you to be able to bring it all back, and I don’t want you too. It’ll be too risky to spend all day trying to make multiple trips. I want you to head into the city, find whatever supplies you can, and stash it. Once you get a nice pile keep it safe and protected however you can, and we’ll send a bigger group next time to acquire it. The supplies I want you all to get isn’t food either, though if you can find it take it if you can risk it. No, what we need is building supplies, nails, tools, the works. If there’s an Ace Hardware take it. Right now our fences aren’t even good enough to keep animals out, let alone zombies or thieves. We have plenty of wood if we can cut down the trees but last I check we only have one saw in this entire village. One last thing: Scavenger Team, take only handguns and only one magazine or chamber worth of bullets. This isn’t a hunt; I don’t want you to use your guns if you can help it.”[/color]

As new people arrived Janette was a bit cautious, but welcomed them all the same. She told them that they had no space for freeloaders and if they sought any shelter or help from them, they’d have to help Haven first, and informed them of the task.

The people Janette chose to stay behind to help harvest crops were Alexandra Walsh, Joseph Reed, Winifred Turner, Nelson Fortier, and Michelle Bennett. Janette of course would be staying with them to help with the harvest as well. While she expects all of them to help the harvest, she also picked a few in case danger comes to Haven. They still need fighters, and Janette wasn’t about to leave all their combat able to brave the city.

Everyone else, which meant Logan Walsh, Sila Chanthavong, David Levitski, Dani Salazar, Paul Braddock, and the newcomer Andrew Lee, were going to head into the city. Guns were a rarity and bullets even more so; Janette knew there were plenty of guns in the city, but it was a useless peice of metal without any bullets to shoot.  She chose these people because they were healthy enough to handle whatever dangers might be in the city, but at the same time lacked the particular skills Janette felt would be helpful in cultivating the land. Not that she told them this, but that was simply how she thought about it. If they could find more survivors, she could afford to give them more specialized tasks which they would excel in. But for now, she’d have to make due with what she had right now.
