More are starting to turn in, some are starting to clean up bit and pieces here and there. The fireworks are wrapping up and Tesla is starting to get the kids together to head back to find their parents or their guardians. Adelaide has stopped serving Moonshine and Whiskey at this point. Drinks are as follows:[list][*] Light: Beer (Pale Ales) [*] Sweet Tea (Brown) [*] Water (Clear) [/list] Riley looked over to where the fireworks were being set off. It was pretty. Not something they had had in Newnan, or if they had had fireworks they never used them. Closest thing she could remember to them having to fireworks was the day Newnan fell and the way things were blowing up. That wasn't a good memory. None of that day was. She was separated from Amelia, didn't know if she was alive or not. More than even that was watching her sister break, seeing things like others of them had been that day, and watching her sister pull the trigger when the ground shifted..... No, she wasn't going to think on that right then. She had a full stomach, a place to live, she had some friends left in this world, and she had Amelia. Turning her head she smiled and nodded. "Where ever you want to go," she said as she slipped her arm around Amelia's shoulders and started walking in the direction. Tesla seemed to be wrapping up with the kids and the fireworks were going to be ending if that was any indication. After getting a ways down the beach, Riley stopped. The music was still playing, further off but clear. Roman candles were still being shot off, the waves were crashing along the beach. "Perfect... well nearly," Riley said as she looked around before looking at Amelia, taking her into her arms and began to dance with her there in the sand, music in the distance, lights above them. Resting her brow against Amelia's as she held her close, protective even within the walls of CMB, gazing into her girls eyes. Leaning in slowly, Riley went to kiss her softly and thought to herself, [i]"perfect."[/i] Cook looked over to Lisa and chuckled a bit. "Down to food theft are we? Well, it isn't like Dusty couldn't miss a meal or two," she said with a bit of a laugh. Then there was a head shake. "Lord no, it won't ever go away most likely. Small community and no soap operas most of us haven't watched a thousand times, so tales or each other to poke with are what we have," she laughed. "Next time Padre has slipped into the whiskey, ask him about Shakespeare, you'll hear some funny stories," she added with a little twinkle in her eye. Seemed Cook could be just as mischievous as the rest of them. Glancing over at Hunter she sighed. "Yeah, he won't live this down, night one?" Resting her hands on her hips she shook her head before looking back at Lisa and nodding. "Of course sweetie, let me know if y'all need anything else, will be packin' it up soon," she said before Lisa went back over to the bar. Adelaide nearly shot beer through her nose at Nikki's mention of finding a fuck. "Find a fuck?" That set a whole line of thoughts spinning through Adelaide's mind, which were only made worse when Lisa came over and added to it by mentioning the word hunt. The beer was gone that time as Adelaide doubled over behind the bar and had to wipe her nose. "Oh my god, find a fuck? Hunt?" she stuttered from behind the bar as she righted herself. She was laughing so hard her face was turning red and tears were rolling down her eyes. "Wait, hold on... So do fucks like grow wild? I mean, they gotta be an animal and not a vegetable though, if there is a hunt. Or is this like huntin' truffles and you gotta get something to sniff out a wild fuck? Was there a pokemon I missed when I was younger? A Wild Fuck has appeared! How does one take down a Wild Fuck? Is there a special pokeball for this? And does it evolve?" Adelaide was rambling but laughing her ass off at the thought of a wild fuck. She could barely stop herself long enough to say, "thank you," to Lisa about the food. And as Ash came over her laughter got more vigorous as she nodded. "Yeah... hold on," she said between her snorting and snickering. Pulling out two bottles of beer and setting them on the bar top. "Bottles, bring back, here, or, Cook," she said between laughs. Why this was tickling her funny bone so much she didn't know but it was damn hilarious to her. "Oh we are just talking about the Great Fuck Hunt," she said towards Thalia as she started to pour a glass of sweet tea for Thalia. She had to stop as a new thought came to mind. Then she started speaking, in the worst fake Australian accent possible. "Now what we have here is a Wild Fuck! Wooo-weee, ain't she a beaut! A bit feisty, oh girl, don't ya worry, I ain't gonna hurt you. Yer a beauty." Finally filling a glass for Thalia and for Manny she pushed each glass towards the two and lost her legs, falling to the ground behind the bar and kept laughing. "Ah! The Wild Fuck! It's got me!" she giggled as she sat up slowly and rested her back against the shelves, still giggling. Looking towards Alexander the General nodded and there was an understanding smile playing on his lips as he sat there. He would sway a little bit against his cane from time to time in time with the music but other than that he just kept the main of his attention towards the man sitting with him. "Yes, I would suspect they would. My granddaughter is not one to speak highly of people but considering what I have heard from her about her time with you, and how adamant she was to bring several fallen back here to have a proper burial, I believe I can paint the picture well enough." There was a long breath from the man. "In a way we are all soldiers now, fighting an unending army and just trying to hold our ground." It was a sobering thought. He though did like the idea of them being soldiers now instead of what the Major had told him that Tatiana referred to all of them as: refugees. Refugees sounded like there was no hope and no connection. Soldiers fought, found ways to live, forged families in battle. Yes, soldiers was better than refugees. Neither was particularly energizing. Now the question was a good one and it was one that made a small smile grow on the Generals lips. "Ah, yes, well I have many things. I haven't had a chance to go through them all. Perhaps we could get together and start sorting. See what we could find. One such as you, a new set of eyes that have seen the world some might be able to help me organize better than others have. There are boxes and boxes from many, even runs that were successful in bringing back from houses or libraries." Nodding he leaned back a bit. "Yes, find me after your work tomorrow, I have an idea, should be very enlightening."

A flip of the finger, be it flesh or metal, from Thalia was getting off easy. Thana remembered the first day her and Thalia had met, what they did together, what they went through. The bird was most definitely getting off easy. The fact no one died was getting off easy. Then again, Thalia might say the same about Thana if she was thinking back to only that first day. Thana knew there was more to Thalia than a lot of people got to see. The two had bonded over taking down Eden, they had a friendship grew traveling together. Then she remembered the hug Thalia gave her when she showed up in Quarantine. For as much anger and fire Thana had seen come out of Thalia, the woman was capable of very deep feelings and she expressed them, from time to time. Taking herself from memory lane, Thana glanced over towards Ash. [color=0072bc]"It'll keep, she's on a quest,"[/color] Thana said and smirked a little as she looked off into the distance. Keeping her arms around his neck, Thana let Ash carry her. This was something new to her and while she knew she wasn't going to be able to tolerate being carried around for long she was sure going to take advantage of it right now. Perhaps it was a bit selfish to want to be held close to Ash, carried off, ignoring the others. She had people she needed to catch up with, family. After so much time searching though, Thana was hard pressed to actually feel guilty as Ash carried her off to a more secluded spot on the beach. Thana's hands slipped from around his neck and cupped his cheek as she returned his kiss, holding it just a bit longer. Thana had learned first hand that any kiss could be the last one and every one of them should be treated as such. As her lips peeled from his she nodded. [color=0072bc]"Alright."[/color] Yes, drinks, some food, then back to enjoying each others company. Thana sat there, watching him walk away and quirked a brow as he stopped jogging back towards the party and came directly back. She nearly asked what was wrong but was stopped as Ash's lips found hers again. Shaking her head she giggled as he spoke and watched him run off again. He was being adorable right then, she hadn't seen that side of him since that morning when he was following her around moving tomato plants, he acted like a schoolboy then. He was acting like one now. It was sweet. Turning her attention towards the water, Thana watched the waves break and push up onto the sand. How many nights had she sat on this beach growing up? Watching the waves, being alone while the rest of her family was up at the rental house or hotel, or even Papi's once he bought a place down here? It was an odd way of feeling right then, like relief streaked through her. Glad it was now instead of then. Then would have been ruined by one person. Tonight wouldn't be. Even if it was ruined it wouldn't ever be ruined by one person in particular again. That brought Thana a sense of peace she hadn't felt before, especially not expected that evening but she would take it. In this world, one took peace when they could find it and savored it, because it never lasted long. Casting a glance over her shoulder, Thana looked back towards where the party was going on and waited for Ash to return.

[color=f26522]"Yeah, well he's out for the night. Dog boy can go play with his own bone,"[/color] she said as she swallowed. Glancing around, she eyed the stage a bit and smirked. [color=f26522]"Bass could be fun, he did ask to save him a dance,"[/color] she added before taking another drink. It wouldn't be the first time they had hooked up. Nikki hadn't ever been serious about anyone in camp. She was young and didn't see a point considering how the world was. Bass was fun and hot. No reason no to in her mind. Glancing over at Thalia she looked at the womans arm, not hiding the fact she was staring. [color=f26522]"Finding fucks for the evening,"[/color] she said bluntly towards Thalia but she was still looking at the arm. [color=f26522]"That's fucking badass. Didn't think it was going to turn out that sweet,"[/color] she said as tilted her head to the other side and taking a long pull from her drink. Looking over at Manny, Nikki was about to say something when Adelaide went into her entire thing about wild fucks. Her eyes widening as the woman went on and on and on. [color=f26522]"Someone spike the 'shine?"[/color] she asked as she looked over towards Lisa. She couldn't ever remember seeing Adelaide laugh before, maybe a smirk. Maybe, just maybe a chuckle. This? Was like watching someone on laughing gas. Though she had to admit the idea of fucks being an actual thing that grew in the wild was pretty damn funny. Shaking her head she slipped off her barstool, giving a quick glance towards Ash. [color=f26522]"You found one didn't ya?"[/color] she said flatly before laughing as she glance back to where he had come from down the beach. Snorting she took her beer and started to head towards the stage. She had a wild fuck in her sights.
