[hr][center][h1][color=steelblue]Ash Holloway[/color][/h1] [img]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/9/92/Mike_aliens_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130414051040[/img][/center] [hr][center][b]Location:[/b] Newnan [b]Interacting With:[/b] James, Caesar, Anyone Still Listening [/center][hr] Ash didn't have any questions for Leann. After as long as they've been doing this, the routine was fairly consistent: Get your group, supply accordingly, go do your job. It wasn't the first time that they'd sent multiple groups out simultaneously, but usually there was some advance notice. Leann must be casting a wide net for a reason. The reason she actually gave made sense. Newnan needed people to keep going. People needed food to keep going. The crops weren't going to be up for months (Ash silently thanked Maria and James for their efforts toward sustainability). Even the faster growing plants would take longer than for which their supplies comfortably allowed. Ash knew his job. Time to start doing it. He waited a moment to give others a chance to ask questions. The other two leads, James and Caesar, didn't seem to have any questions either. And so, Ash began being Ash: [color=steelblue]"We've got what, six people including ourselves, good for long runs?"[/color] he began with a mild Virginian accent, [color=steelblue]"Means we're traveling in pairs. James, you've got your partner and assignment. You two stay safe in LaGrange, there and back. Caesar... that leaves Carrollton and Franklin for us. If you don't mind, I'll take Carrollton." "Standard supply and recruiting run - each team grabs a station wagon or SUV from the motor pool. Everyone goes armed, save ammo when you can. If it's too hot, withdraw. We can come back later. Newnan needs people, food, medicine, tools - and we need you to come back alive."[/color] Ashton looked around at the people still gathered, much like an extended, dysfunctional family. Yes, sudden near-extinction level events certainly made for strange bedfellows. Unfortunately, it also aired the uglier bits of humanity. Ash considered himself lucky to be with people like the former, dysfunctional but decent. [color=steelblue]"Alright folks, any volunteers for Carrollton?"[/color] [hr][center][h1][color=firebrick]Black James![/color][/h1] [img]https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/avatars/6AE78329E91063505631975227392_pic-r-1396533712688c4afde8ecf.jpg.jpg?versionId=ZnGOSit0zozlhxpJk0w6QVx4cSozVRdq[/img][/center] [hr][center][b]Location:[/b] Newnan [b]Interacting With:[/b] Leann, Ash, Alicia, Caesar [/center][hr] Upon establishing both his team and his town without any actual input from himself, James crossed his arms and shook his head. Of course he'd do it, he just wish someone would have asked. [color=firebrick]"You know I'm down, Bosslady. I just wish you woulda gone Jeopardy and phrased that shit in the form of a question, is all. It's good, though. I get to partner up with Miss Juanita [i]Badass[/i] over here, huh?"[/color] James held out his closed hand to Alicia, giving it a little shake in her direction. [color=firebrick]"C'mon girl, don't leave me hangin'. C'mon, fistbump. Pound it, mamasita. C'mon, bump it. bumpitbumpitbumpitbumpitbumpitbumpit [b][i]OK[/i][/b] let's go pick out a ride."[/color] [hr][center][h1][color=orangered]Caesar Gonzalez[/color][/h1] [img]http://media.giphy.com/media/wbomIbUs5Bc2I/giphy.gif[/img][/center] [hr][center][b]Location:[/b] Newnan [b]Interacting With:[/b] James, Meg [/center][hr] Yeah, had to be done. Maybe he could even use some time outside the walls, get his head straight. Caesar didn't like the fact that Leann was separating himself from his M'hija, any more than she liked being separated from him. They looked out for each other, most of the time not even needing to speak to communicate. He supposed it didn't matter, overall. His Alicia was smart, strong, and a better shot with a long rifle than anyone he knew. Caesar knew that she would be fine. Little girl could take care of herself. Then he noted the antics of her partner for this run; his comical insistence that she tap his fist with hers, and issued a low growl in his direction. Barely a sneer crossed his face as this auditory warning droned from his throat. As a matter of coincidence, this was the [i]exact[/i] moment that James decided to go find a car. Caesar didn't know if this constituted flirting with his daughter, but it was fast becoming annoying. The elder Mexican's eyes trailed back to Ash. He was doing what he does in times like this: stating the obvious to get people moving. the machine needed to be oiled, and Ashton said what needed to be said to get the gears greased. Caesar didn't need a pep talk. He was too old to be impressed by some Army Captain, even if his daughter was. Fact was, they had a job to do. No sense putting it off. He began to walk away from the group, pausing in front of Meghna to point at her. [color=orangered]"Get your shit. You're driving."[/color] He continued walking off, presumably to grab what he needed for the run, wordlessly preparing himself to see what happened to this place called "Franklin" now that the world stopped caring about it.
