Indeed, what if they could expand the sphere of influence which Camp Mexico Beach effectively could utilize. Expand their borders. It would have been one hell of a sight to behold, or better yet something not seen; the Walkers. Alexander only nodded and gave the occational [color=662d91]"Mhm…"[/color] to Manny's suggestion, his practical brain from back in the Army days thinking what his superiors would have said. Eventually the old veteran looked up at Manny to give him his piece of mind, though with a thoughtful smile. [color=662d91]"I would have done a whole lot to see the whole state be secure like that, though that's probably not a viable short-term strategy. They've got a lot of supplies and hardware down here, enough to protect the camp, but if they expanded? Perhaps they'd run thin. Besides, they probably don't need more space right now. If they suddenly have fifty or more people show up, sure, but now?"[/color] Alexander explained to Manny, his eyes wandering to the sight before him as he finished his train of thought. [color=662d91]"They're doing fine. The military doesn't fix itself until it needs fixing. Right now, I think they're doing fine."[/color] The beach itself was a sight to behold with all the people already gathered, but it was that big dark blue behind the festivities that caught Alexander's attention. The ocean. A smile formed on Alexander's lips, though a heavied one full of thought. He hadn't seen the ocean like this for a long, long time. He couldn't explain it, but something about the lack of danger…No, Alexander didn't know how to explain it, only feel it. Good times, but bad times. Judith, yes, it reminded him of her. The old veteran took a good, long breath of the salty air of the Atlantic Ocean, intermixed with the smell of smoke and sound of people partying. He would push through for now. Of all the people he noticed down at the beach, he recongized Thana first of all sitting at the what he presumed was the bar with Ash. While Alexander had no intention of ever drinking alcohol again, he still wanted to head over and say hello to Thana. [color=662d91]"Want to interupt the turtle doves for a moment, fellow ol' man?"[/color] Alexander forced himself to jokingly ask Manny, before heading over to Thana and Ash at the bar himself. Manny could follow him, he was the faster one after all. Alexander limped his way down towards the bar, leaning up against the counter besides where Thana and Ash were sitting as he waited for an opportunity to talk. [color=662d91]"Sorry if I'm interrupting something, just thought I'd drop by and say hi while I could."[/color] Alexander excused himself, sheepisly smiling at Thana while to Ash he gave modest smile and a nod. [color=662d91]"Just wanted to say…thanks Thana, I guess. For everything, from Eden to here, again."[/color] Alexander wasn't a man of many words, but those he wanted to say. Had it not been for her and her sacrifice, he'd been dead. For better or worse. Ol' Mugsy cleared his throat - partly from the smell of booze stronger than a mortar shell - and straightened himself, once again putting on a smile as he tried to make the conversation he'd interrupted casual. [color=662d91]"Anyway, how are you holding up? You Navy folk were always a tough nut to crack."[/color] Alexander asked Thana before looking over at Ash. Not the most social person, he sure as hell would try. [color=662d91]"Sorry, won't keep you two held up for much longer. But if you want to listen to an old man ramble on more about the Rolling Stones, do ask."[/color] He said half-jokingly to Ash, though sincere in his wish to talk about something normal again. [color=662d91]"Anyhow, have any of you seen…what's their names, Moralez and Shears? Manny and I thought it best to get to know them before we move in."[/color] [hr][hr][center][h1][color=#B8860B]Nigel "Hadrian" Cooper[/color][/h1] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/a1cc83e9b2978d2fdac2dbf75331a3c0/tumblr_o0v5arjK7b1rt41dxo1_400.gif[/img][/center] [hr][center][b][color=#B8860B]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: M6 (Outside Education Center) -> M10 [color=#B8860B][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A [/center][hr][hr] [color=#B8860B]"What made you think I'd be in Elementary? That I'm acting like a little kid with my sword and shield, or that I have had two little grumpy children to deal with on a way too long field-trip?"[/color] Nigel asked Erica right back in the same jokingly tone she had started. Perhaps he could have been a decent elementary teacher? If they wanted him teaching at all levels at the Camp, he guessed there was only one way to find out. Following Erica down the street towards the beach and the Gulf of Mexico, he started to think of something. Something he probably should have asked before or would eventually learn. Would he teach kids to kill he Undead? And if so, how? Nigel didn't get to ask said his cop-friend that question though as the roasting of the neo-Roman continued. He jokingly schoffed at her, shaking his head as he picked up the pace and growing the distance between them. [color=#B8860B]"And you call ME boring? Come on, now you're just trying to get under my skin, you heathen."[/color] He joked back at her, turning around as he backed away from her and beginning a slow jog towards the beach. [color=#B8860B]"If you're good at Gym like you say, let's see how good you really are."[/color] Nigel laughed, jogging off before her. It wouldn't be a real race or a marathon by a long shot, though he enjoyed teasing her back like she did to him. If she wanted to play that game, so be it. It didn't take long for Nigel to reach the beach of Camp Mexico, watching the people already gathering for the feast that was to begin tonight's festivities. It was truly a sight to see. They hadn't had anything close to this back at Nigel's previous settlement. [color=#B8860B]"Colour me impressed. Looks like any good college party if I've ever seen one."[/color] Nigel commented, hoping that Erica wasn't far behind him or anything. [color=#B8860B]"This will be a night to remember, so many people. Better get aquianted then, or what?"[/color]
