[/color][hr][list][*] [color=steelblue]Ash Holloway[/color]: The last four days have been calm for Ash, there is a shock. No more gut punches, not since the picture.

[*] [color=B0C4DE]Riley Ridgeway[/color]: Well she ain't dead by the hands of Tati, so that's good. lol Her hair has sprouted in the slightest and she has a scarf that she can wear over her head. No irritation. No stomach problems from adjusting to the food. [*] [color=8dc73f]Amelia Payne[/color]: Things are alright, hair is growing in slower than Riley's but she has a scarf as well to wrap around her head. Minimal irritation from the hair starting to sprout and just one day of minor stomach issues adjusting to the food. [*] [color=00ff00]Jack Newnan[/color]: Jack had one of minimal stomach issues adjusting to the food, no issues with Jamie at night. The baby is adjusting well.

[/list] [b][i][u][color=f1c40f]Day 1:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Was a setting up structure day. Atticus came in and did a random assignment of jobs around the place for those in quarantine. These duties are done every day. Now of course a character could outwardly protest their job assignments but they will be not changed. [color=ed1c24]How well your character tends to their jobs is up to you and needed to be noted in your next post. Due note, the jobs are final. No trading, working with another to help things move faster. Etc. [/color] [list][*] Alex/Jack: Clean Male Showers Daily after morning showers.

[*] Amelia: Switches out with Jack and Tati on their duties so one of Jamies parents are always with him. [/list] [b][i][u][color=f1c40f]Day 2:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Doc comes in to check on everyone. He does a weigh in to see how people are holding up, hands out meds to help with stomach issues for those still having them. Finds both Jamie and Victor had responded well to treatment and their allergies are under control. He has the blood work back on people and everyone is fine as far as disease goes. Hunter gets word that his dog had a tick but she is doing fine and her blood work came back perfect. She is being walked out on the beach daily to get exercise. Schrody wasn't so lucky, he had lice and had to be shaved. Scratched up Daytona a bit in the process. Very unhappy kitty. [b][i][u][color=f1c40f]Day 3:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Tesla comes in and does a final mold fitting to check and make sure that Thalia and Alexanders prosthetics will fit well. He tell them they will get the finished product the next day sometime in the afternoon. Shears comes by and takes whoever wants to go with him over to the Quarantine Sauna/Barber Shop for hair cuts if they want. Atticus comes over to do religious readings with anyone that wants a bit of spiritual guidance and prayer. Panama and Major are more relaxed now and down to basic side arms. Gunny comes by to inform people they will be doing interviews over the following days with each person alone and that there will also be a test given out by the Professor to test their skills and knowledge's. NPC's have not divulged information about the base or people on it more than what is already in previous posts. If questioned, they will basically be told that information is only for members of the camp. [b][i][u][color=f1c40f]Day 4:[/color][/u][/i][/b] Morning duties are done and such as is the morning meal. Simple oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and fruit. Juice and water is the main drink, coffee is limited to one cup for each person that wants it. And here we go.... Leaning back against the wall Panama yawned slightly, Major shooting him a look. He just smirked at her and shrugged. "Long night," he said before pushing off the wall and glancing around. "Fuck this, I'm bored," he said reaching into his back pocket. "Who wants to play cards?" he asked as he walked over to one of the folding tables and pulling it out. Dropping a chair next to it he sat down and started shuffling the cards. Major just rolled her eyes a bit and stayed at her post by the door. She was always watching and didn't say much. Though it seemed that the baby had taken a shine to the woman. Anytime he was put down he would crawl over to her and tug on her pants leg or try to play near her. She'd let him but remain quiet. "They're gonna start thinkin' yer a mute," he teased the woman and her eyes rolled again as she crossed her arms over her chest. Shuffling the cards Panama looked around. "Come on, who's in? Ain't like you got anythin' better to do." [hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=598527]Wayne Maldonado[/color][/b][/i][/h1][img]https://i.ibb.co/MDs7Svy/Waynestaring.jpg[/img][hr][hr][b][color=598527]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) [b][color=598527]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr] While Wayne was a pain in the ass, he took the job he was assigned seriously enough. Sure he made jokes about it, imitating a woman from a biographical film about Bruce Lee. [color=598527]"I am dish washer!"[/color] he would joke in a really bad Asian accent, dragging out the words as he spoke but at the end of each meal he would work without issue and get the job done as quickly as he could. He liked getting back to his chair and watching TV. Granted he had started dancing as well. Trying to get Tatiana to teach him and oddly enough he succeeded. The man was anything but graceful but he was a show himself trying to pull off even the most basic of dance moves. [color=598527]"I'm a fucking princess,"[/color] he would laugh anytime he busted his ass. Which, was often. The man was good for one thing, he was strong and could do lifts. When Shears came by he was all for it. He could use a trim, getting his hair shaved close. Not bald but even. Today though, he was feeling his age a bit. Rummaging through the various video tapes that were available it was his turn to pick and he was going to take full advantage of it. Thing was, there wasn't really anything at this point he either hadn't already seen or wanted to see. [color=598527]"No, I ain't putting back on 16 Candles, I'm over that John Hughes bullshit,"[/color] he said to no one and swatted in the air. [color=598527]"Keep it up asshole and you're going back in my pants,"[/color] he warned to the air. Moving tapes around he stopped and picked up an older looking VHS tape that didn't have a label on it. It was simply black and whatever label on it had been worn off long ago, only a bit of sticky tack left behind. [color=598527]"Oh, fuck. Wonder if someone made a sex tape,"[/color] he giggled dementedly as he tossed it into his other hand and waltzed over to the TV. Putting it in the VCR he hit rewind. His fingers drumming on top of the stand as he waited. [color=598527]"Whoever the fuck watched this last wasn't kind and didn't rewind,"[/color] he huffed until he heard the tell tale click that the tape was ready. Where was a Blockbuster when you needed one? Leaning over he hit play and walked back over to his seat. Sitting his ass down and palming the last bit of coffee he had in his mug. The man had his hopes up and as the tape started he groaned. It wasn't a sex tape. Looked like someone filming shit in a bar a good decade ago. The place looked like a dive and there were a lot of people milling around, the sound of glasses clinking and people talking. "I got it dad," a voice chimed in. It sounded like Gunny. "I do not doubt that you have son, I just want to be sure it is in focus," another voice came over and the camera turned, a brief catch of a slightly younger version of the General showing up before Maddoc walked in front of the camera and grinned. "Yeah, gotta make sure I am looking good," Maddoc said as he looked like he was fixing his hair as he clutched a cigar in his mouth. A hand came to his shoulder and shoved him out of the way. It had to be Gunny's. [color=598527]"Well fuck me. A Martin Clan home video, this shit should be good,"[/color] Wayne said as he leaned forward. Sure it wasn't a football game or a sex tape but these were the people that ran this place and the former detective in him wanted to know more. There was a stage, small, over by the bar and some people who were not in focus standing up there, looking like they were talking. There was the gentle strum of an acoustic guitar and the camera slowly went into focus. "Oh, they are starting back up, marvelous," Aeron said from somewhere from the side of the camera. The man sounded excited for things to start back up Most of the small band was nothing that stuck out but there was a [url=https://i.ibb.co/4W3Qw5m/clayne-crawford-2.jpg]tall piece of Texan Brisket[/url] playing the guitar, stetson on his head with his brown curls popping out and a broad and familiar to some grin on his face. Standing next to him was a rather dressed down woman in a [url=https://i.ibb.co/FHZxBfs/m-5aa4c98cc9fcdf80ef139401.jpg]light cotton pale blue sun dress[/url] wearing cowboy boots. She had dark wavy hair, and pale skin. She wasn't facing the bar yet, still moving a stool over to the mic. Only thing that could be really seen was an anchor tattoo on her right shoulder with something coming from it. It was hard to tell at this distance. Sitting down she reached up and leaned against the mic slightly, bracing one foot on the bottom rung of the stool as the song started. [color=0072bc][i]"I don't want lose you but I don't want to use you just to have some body by my side,"[/i][/color] she started to sing. It was a more country cover of [url=https://youtu.be/qdzbjUWu2VU]Patty Smyth's Sometimes Love Ain't Enough[/url]. Her voice was familiar and while it wasn't a voice that would ever land some major record deal it was one that would was sweet and deep. The camera panned in. It was [url=https://i.ibb.co/021Bhb5/943232-milla-jovovich.jpg]Thana[/url]. Thana and Gavin, singing a duet in some run down bar somewhere. It looked to be in Texas considering the amount of neon and Texas flags hanging up in the bar. [color=598527]"God bless fuckin' Texas, I'd like to buy her a drink,"[/color] Wayne said as he leaned forward a bit more watching. He had no interest in cards right then. Couples were on the dance floor, slow dancing to the song as the two on stage sang together, the rest of the band playing along with them. As the song ended, one could hear Maddoc and Aeron cheering, the rest of the bar clapping. There seemed to be a bit of a back and forth between Gavin and Thana on stage, him looking like he was pleading with her and her finally giving in with an exasperated face before the next song started. Taking a long drink from a bottle of beer before the band started playing [url=https://youtu.be/Up06CryWQpE]Deana Carter's Strawberry Wine[/url]. Thana sang, and the frustration seemed to fade from her face. She was smiling and looked happy, swaying on her stool as she sung. More songs followed, some faster, some slow but then couple seemed to be enjoying themselves. [hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=a187be]Tatiana Newnan[/color][/b][/i][/h1][img]https://i.ibb.co/bXv0wVz/Tatisitting.jpg[/img][hr][hr][b][color=a187be]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) [b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] Athletics[/center][hr] Playing it safe, Tatiana took it easy the first two days. That didn't mean she didn't do anything, she was just pacing herself. Stomach issues from dealing with regular solid food were a bit more than she expected but she worked through them. She had promised Thalia that she would train her and Tatiana made it a point to train with her dancing every day she could. Now she had a student and she took it seriously. Granted they would not do much dancing to start. It was mostly conditioning and stretching and learning the basic positions. Yet it was enough, the way Tatiana stretched could easily leave one drenched in sweat by the end. She wasn't expecting to pick up a second student along the way but it seemed that the bat shit crazy an who spoke to something in the air wanted to join along. She allowed it but only him and Thalia. Thalia because she had agreed to it, Wayne for multiple reasons. One, he had helped when they first arrived and two, she wanted to read more into this strange man. The chores, she took to seriously and quickly each day without any complaint. Not really saying much to the man Wayne referred to as Sportacus. There had been some things she had caught him saying on the first day and she wasn't going to deal with that. Not right now. She had a job to do and wanted to get it done. Training was at the forefront of her mind. Staying strong and focused. She would switch out with Jack watching Jamie. Yet she let him spend most of the time with the baby. Him and Froggy. Both of them had a lot of catching up to do with her son, she had spent the first months of his life with him every moment. One might think she might suffer from separation anxiety over not holding him constantly now, in a new place, but she trusted her husband and Froggy. More than any other. And she needed the change of mind, the relief. It was long over due. Jamie was comfortable in his surroundings but he seemed to only want to be near his mother, Jack, or the major lady. He didn't cry but it was rare he did. Knowing that Jamie and Froggy both were good now, medically speaking, put her mind at even more ease. It allowed her to relax a bit, though for her these days that was never much. She wasn't speaking a lot to anyone and some people she purposefully either stayed away from or ignored. In fact, now that it was day four, it seemed that Tatiana had a new group forming consisting of Thalia, herself, and Wayne. A weird trio indeed and they weren't exactly personable but they trained, for hours each day, between meals, between doing chores. They stayed active. Quiet but active. The only real time she took away from chores and training was talking to Ash. Back corner of the room, away from the rest, in hushed voices. They both had things they needed to deal with, so they did, together. It was almost like when siblings would sneak off to get away from everyone else during the holidays. When Shears came by she went with him and got her hair cleaned up a bit. It had taken a bad hacking months earlier, it was nice to get it evened out. Today, Tatiana was in the small area in the back of the room that her and Wayne had cleared off for practice and was training. Working with Thalia on balance. Wayne had told her he was going to take it easy today and would join in the afternoon. Whatever, she could focus on Thalia today and not watch Wayne land on his ass. Which, honestly, wasn't as bad as it seemed. It made her laugh. The man was like a demented uncle. She had got in the habit of calling him Fester. As Panama asked if anyone wanted to play cards she glanced towards Thalia. [color=a187be]"Going or staying?"[/color] she asked, as she motioned towards Panama. She figured Thalia would rather train but it was an option out there on the table, so to speak. Hearing Wayne, she quirked a brow and stood up from the floor where she had been stretching. Looking towards the TV and her head tilting to the side slightly. [color=a187be]"Vov,"[/color] she said as she stared at the television. The tall man was familiar, would have been to anyone in Newnan the day it fell. He had arrived late that day and been brought in by Froggy while Ash was taking an evening to himself for once. She hadn't spoken directly to the man known as Gavin but she didn't forget his face or the way he had acted when James was cast out of Newnan the morning after the wedding. The woman, she had spoken to, briefly. Her eyes went over towards Ash and she waited. This could be bad.
