Make sure that when you are posting to include things that should be and that you are making it clear about where your character is during what time to avoid confusion or if they are early/on-time/late for things. If I am not clear I will either roll to determine or if it is a regular mess up I will default to worst case scenario >.> Riv - After this round, you have control of Riley as an NPC to move forward your story with her as you need to, or you can just keep her background and it will be assumed that Riley and Amelia are doing fine together and adjusting to life in Camp as a couple. Again - watch time carefully - we are moving past lunch and I will signal when characters can start preparing via their bosses okay to get ready for the funeral for those characters that are going.

People mulling about, getting to lunch or back to work after it. Some were actually done for the day having worked partly over night, lunch being their technical dinner and about to turn in for the day to get some sleep before they had to get back up again. Some were just now getting started with their day, lunch being their breakfast before they started on their shifts and relieved others. Camp Mexico Beach might have been less busy during the night but it was clear by the way the meals ran that this place was never fully asleep and never truly let its guard down, perhaps that was one of the reasons it had lasted so long. Perhaps they were just lucky. The bell tolled through the speakers before going quiet over the intercom system that helped keep things running as on time as they did in the place. It was now 1330 hours. It signaled the end of forth lunch, the halfway mark of fifth lunch, and the beginning of the sixth and final lunch shift for the day. [color=f1c40f][b]Administration (A):[/b][/color] Before he left the General nodded towards Thalia. "Yes, of course, I am glad to see your brother was right about you," he said before turning his attention towards Alexander. He knew that look. It didn't matter the age someone was, they wanted to feel useful, needed. It was part of being human. The older one got the harder it was to have that feeling much of the time. If anything, this entire fall out in the world had reminded Aeron that he was still indeed useful. He possessed skills that were no longer taught when the world went to hell, things needed in a time without an internet or steady power source. Alexander was from a similar time. A time that transitioned from the past to the present and now back again. "I have no doubt you will Alexander. Well good day to you both, I will speak with you later," he added before heading out. The two had a lot more work to do now but it seemed they at least had some idea of what they were doing it for now. Whether or not that made things better was inconsequential at this point. What did matter was that during their cleaning one of the bottles of cleaner apparently was old and finally worn out. Sitting there on the table it has been slowly dripping since before lunch and during their time gone ended up creating a rather nice puddle on the ground. As the floor is tile down there it is silk, as the tile is darker and slightly textured seeing the puddle in the light of the room is difficult.... Just as the bell is tolling to let people know it is now 1330 hours and that forth lunch is over, Alexander steps into it and slips. What happens? Time for a dexterity check - May the odds be ever in your favor. Who the hell am I kidding, I can't wait to see what happens, this could be hilarious. [hider=Dex Check Instruction][center][h3][sup][b][color=f1c40f]Slipping in Cleaner[/color][/b][/sup][/h3][sup]Roll 1d100 against your Dexterity.

Instead of falling on your back, you start sliding forward and go face first into the wall before falling back unconscious onto the floor.

Be at the Water Repair Shop by 1400 hours. You have time. Lisa is used to cleaning this by herself. Granted one would think that having help would make things faster but in truth that first few days never does. It always slows things down as you have to slow yourself down to make sure the other person is learning what they need to learn so when they have to do it on their own they don't screw it up and you don't get blamed for not training them properly. So the clean up going on will get done but only just barely before the two have to head out. Now why were they held up in cleaning? Was it just the fact that Lisa had to teach Manny what to clean, how to clean it, and so forth? Or was there more going on there? Let's find out shall we? You see the first time Manny was down there he was dealing some fear issues. Those haven't gone away, in fact anytime Manny steps back down there it can be assumed he needs to run a check. So, Minor Fear Check time for Manny - refer to the Minor Feat Table in the original OOC post for results after roll in chat (Remember to call the roll before you roll) About half an hour the bell tolls and the end of forth lunch is signaled, meaning the time is now 1330 hours. Thirty minutes until Manny and Lisa are supposed to be over at the Water Repair Shop. Lisa will figure that now is a good time to set what they haven't got done aside, grab the results Mary had pointed to early, and head over to Admin. Results drop off is standard and she doesn't need to interact with anyone. Rolodex will be in the middle of her lunch and there is an In-Box on the reception counter she can leave the results in, so no worries there. (Depending on how the rolls went, Manny may or may not actually run out of the basement, lol. Either way he will probably be glad to be outside for a bit instead of in the basement.) Lisa will know boat cleaning isn't difficult and Medic does a good job at trying to keep it as clean as possible but she will also know that Sea Team can be out for weeks at a time and no matter how much Medic tries, it is a lot for one person and being at sea just leaves salt on everything and tends to rust a lot of stuff. It isn't hard work but it is tedious and you can't over look any corner. [color=f1c40f][b]Mess Hall (C):[/b][/color] Riley gave half a wave towards Nikki as she approached the table. Seeing Amelia she smiled and had a seat next to her. "Hey," she said wrapping an arm around her girl and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Missed you," she said as she let go. "Oh, picked the salad, looked good. They were out of the Sushi," she added as she looked down at her plate. Looking back over to Amelia she addressed her other question. "Not bad actually. Been working in the Church cleaning up. A lot of dust but other than that it's nice." Taking a bite she continued. "Well, nice as it can be. A little tense," she finally added as she pointed over towards Tatiana. The two hadn't exactly gotten along since they arrived in the Camp, especially after the fall out when Tatiana punched Ash in the middle of Quarantine. "Tati is keeping her distance from me, refuses to talk," she let Amelia know. Shrugging she glanced around but didn't see Atticus, he had had his meal during first lunch so he wasn't around. "Padre is cool enough though, for a priest. Said if I finished early today I could help with some of the instruments, so that's something." After a long pause she nearly face palmed. "I'm sorry! How is your day going? What have you been up to? Everything going okay? Everyone being nice?" she asked. She had been worried about them being apart. She had meant to ask earlier but she had just been so happy to see Amelia in the Mess Hall when she showed up the first part slipped her mind. It was a little bit later that Riley glanced towards the watch that Nikki had left for Amelia. "Oh you better get back, I'll see ya at the assembly for the trip to the graveyard," she let her know. Riley hadn't been close to Ryan, didn't know Gavin or Lola but James had been around for a while before that. She wanted to pay her respects. [color=f1c40f][b]Mechanics (K):[/b][/color] Mizrahi looked over to Ash. The man had made it back in time before the bell rang, but just barely. (Was not made clear in post, rolled to determine in chat.) He nodded towards him. "Yes, bathroom," he said simply before going to clean his tools. Stopping, he set them down and glanced around. A confused look on his face before he stood up from the stool he was sitting on and walking around. First checking the bathroom and then the rest of the area. He couldn't find Hunter. Sighing he stepped over to Ash. "Change plans, men's bathroom," he said to Ash before opening the door next to the women's bathroom. It was far cleaner than the women's was, didn't matter that is hadn't been touched today for cleaning. In a rare twist of events the mens restroom was the better of the two to deal with - at least here in the mechanics shop. Like with the women's bathroom, there were cleaning supplies in there. Thankfully it looked like this bathroom could be finished quick enough, Ash alone without problems could easily finish this one in time to get ready for the funeral visit later in the day. Sitting back down, Mizrahi went back to cleaning his tools. Volts and Tesla were in fabrication, one could see them through the window between the two areas of the large building. Rivets wasn't anywhere to be seen. This was probably a good thing because it was after third lunch was over when Hunter showed back up. Rivets had already shown she wasn't a quiet person, yelled a lot, and obviously didn't problems with being down right disgusting. Mizrahi was at least quieter and cleaner from all outward appearances. Mizrahi set his tools down when the kid spoke and rested his hands in his lap. His facial expression was neutral. "Late means write up," he said simply before standing up. "Finish without help," he added as he pointed to the women's bathroom. Turning he walked into the fabrication section. He seemed to be exchanging words with Volts for a bit. Volts looking through the window between the two areas before nodding. By the time the two were done talking and both were coming back into the mechanics sections the bell was ringing again and signalling the time was now 1330 hours. Mizrahi went back to cleaning his tools as Volts walked over towards Hunter, there was a slip of paper in his hand. Stopping he looked at it before glancing towards Mizrahi. "Tifl majanana libaqiat alyawma? Bikhilaf alhamam?" he asked Mizrahi. "Yataeayan ealayh ruyat Gunny fi alssaeat 1400 lylana skhyfana wahu yuthmil fi halat sakar wafi allaylat almadiat, yahdir altaeam, wama samiet wahu yusarikh wahu yusrikh bikathrat min al'alfaz hawl al'atfal allaylat almadia," Mizrahi said without looking up from his tools. Seemed the man could and did talk but only in his native tongue. Volts gawked for a moment. "Seriously?" There was only a nod from Mizrahi. Turning his head, Volts continued on his way towards Hunter and approached him. Letting out a low whistle towards the kid. "You done gone and fucked up," he said rather bluntly. "Again from what I hears," he added. "Come on kid, yer with me now," he said. "Well after you meet with Gunny, come on," he added motioning towards the door. Hunter had to see Gunny, as he was told earlier. Not the man who said he would put a bullet in him, that was Maddog. Gunny hadn't actually said two words to the kid since he arrived. Closest he had gotten to speaking to the kid was speaking around him when he told Morales and Cook to write him up last night during his drunkness. Maybe it was the eyes that made the kid mix them up in his head. Stepping out of the Mechanics shop, Volts pulled out his sunglasses and put them on. "Come on Monroe, gonna take you to Gunny." After the two had left the shop, Mizrahi finally set his tools down and went over to Ash. Clearing his throat a little to make sure the man knew he was there and didn't surprise him. "Dawri say yer good man," he said to him. The yer in there hinting that Mizrahi was learning English from people with heavier accents favoring the south than what would be known as formal English. "Sparrow," he clarified after a moment. [color=f1c40f][b]Supply (R):[/b][/color] Over in Supply the place was empty up front when Nikki came in. There were some people in the back doing some basic cleaning and inventory but Auntie wasn't there for now. The place was pretty quiet up front as voices didn't travel well from the back of the place to the front thanks to the wall that separated the two and the doors were closed. After a while the bell rang and there still wasn't any other people out in the front of the place. Two or three were in the very back, older ones, who were dusting things and cleaning up some of the supplies but mostly just moving slowly and taking their time. They were seniors and it could be assumed if they moved any faster they could break a hip. They wouldn't bother or say anything to the girls unless addressed. (Chances were they couldn't hear anyone anyways.) [color=f1c40f][b]Hydroponic Garden (T):[/b][/color] The more the slats are brought down and sealed the higher the temperature will get within the greenhouse. Especially once they are all down. It will get hotter and more humid quickly, easily breaking 105F, this is remedied by vents above that once all the slats are in place shift open to let the hot air out and keep the temperature at a constant level as to not kill the plants but let them flourish. Other than the plants and the slats, the watering system is on a timer and mists above ever five to ten minutes for short spurts at a time. The water that is being piped in is fresh clean water but considering this is by the gulf, chances are this water isn't from the beach itself - which begs the question - where does the fresh water in camp come from as a water treatment plant shouldn't be operating in these parts during this time. There are large double doored cabinets as well in the greenhouse, every so far down the building - usually marked on the outside what within. Things like fertilizer, seedling cups, etc. There are more outside in the larger storage shed but inside seems to have a secondary more ready supply for easy getting. Much of these Thana restocked before lunch with the help of Nigel bringing things in for her from the outside building. The only one she didn't touch was the largest one by the main door of the greenhouse marked - Garden II.

[color=0072bc]"Oh god no... Joaquin is like the strange uncle people keep tucked away until Thanksgiving. From what I know of that family most are like Thalia. Quiet, reserved, keep to themselves,"[/color] Thana said as she looked over towards Nigel. [color=0072bc]"Though will say this, Joaquin is as deadly as Thalia is and that's sayin' something. Think that's what runs in the family. Ain't heard of or met one of the family that wasn't good with weapons."[/color] Thana hadn't known many in the family. Only ever truly knowing Thalia and Joaquin. Thalia she had traveled with, taken down Eden with, been there when she lost her arm. Joaquin had been here in Mexico Beach when she arrived. He knew who she was long before she knew who he was. He had been Gavins partner back in Texas. So when she cam too and started to train, he was there for her like he figured his partner had wished him to be. He had been with her when they buried Gavin and the others. [color=0072bc]"though, if ya like talkin' like that and sword fightin' then Joaquins yer man. He's hell with a blade."[/color] Thana couldn't help but let out a short sound from nose that it wasn't clear if it was a laugh or something else. The thought of tossing someone out in the middle of the Atlantic might have been a great punishment for the U.S. Navy back a few hundred years ago and she was sure she could find merit in the idea even now, that wasn't exactly what she was thinking about when she asked Nigel if he could swim. Shaking her head a bit she smiled though and let out a long breath before she finally spoke. [color=0072bc]"Naw, ain't sending you scubaing. If you can doggie paddle you should be fine,"[/color] she said as she picked up a rag and got the last little bit of grit off her hands. Tucking the end of it in her pocket she started to walk, motioning for Nigel to follow her. [color=0072bc]"You see, we have another garden in the Camp and it's our main one,"[/color] she started to explain as she moved over to a storage locker near the main door of the greenhouse. [color=0072bc]"This is our more reserved one. Seasonal stuff. Things that aren't very adaptable to other methods of growing. Not very resilient."[/color] Pulling out her keys she started to go through them looking for the one to the locker. The sound of metal clinking against metal sounding each time she flipped from one key to the next. [color=0072bc]"Our other garden is much more impressive."[/color] Stopping as she found the key she was looking over she glanced over to Nigel and chuckled a bit. [color=0072bc]"And considerin' how you spoke about this place, I want ya to know how serious I am about that statement."[/color] Nigel had referred to the gardens as a marvel basically, a wonder of the world. And in truth there was something to that considering everything the world was going through. Though Thana was saying this wasn't the impressive one, the other one was. [color=0072bc]"Cause seriously, you ain't seen nothing yet,"[/color] she said as she turned the key and unlocked the door. Pulling it open was a few wet suits hanging up in the locker. Eying Nigel for a moment before picking one up she handing it over to him. [color=0072bc]"Down to skivvies to put that on,"[/color] she said before grabbing one for herself. Slipping her shirt off might have seem like Thana had no care for privacy but it was clear she didn't need it. The woman had a two piece bathing suit underneath her clothing. [color=0072bc]"Come on, get dressed. We're goin' to visit Atlantis,"[/color] she said with a bit of a smirk on her lips as she unlaced her boots and slipped her pants down. Setting every thing on a bench by the closet. Seemed the scars she carried were not limited to her face. There were several moderate sized ones that traveled along her ribs. Nearly eye shaped that were longer than they were wide. Almost like puncture marks but much larger. Not as bad as the ones on her face but still. Down one of her thighs though was the worst though. It was as if she had been ripped apart from the inside and stitched back together. The main scar ran nearly from hip to knee, widening out and then narrowing again. One could see where each thick stitch and stable had punctured the skin. Around them were holes that looked to be only recently healing. Thana stepped into the wet suit and pulled it up, covering her scars. [color=0072bc]"It's down under the pier,"[/color] she kept explaining, not thinking anything of her scars right then. She had to walk around with her face showing constantly, the others weren't anything else to her. [color=0072bc]"We'll be tethered and such and we have under water platforms to walk along, but some places swimming helps,"[/color] she added as she pulled it up over her shoulders and zipped into it fully. [color=0072bc]"If it gets to be too much just let me know and you can get out to rest. The currents and tides can make it more strenuous than you might expect but damn if it ain't a sight under there."[/color] Turning back to the cabinet Thana started filling up two bags. Things like snorkles, goggles, gloves, etc. Things that they would need under to be able to see and grip and be safer with. [color=0072bc]"It's newer down there, as we're still tryin' to get some plants to adapt to the salt water growin' but some of it's takin' really well and well the kelp alone is worth the time and effort,"[/color] she said as she set the bags down and started to close the doors, locking the supply area back up nice and tight. [color=0072bc]"Keeps all the shell fish comin' back."[/color] Once she was sure that everything was locked up tight she picked up the bags. [color=0072bc]"Ready when you are,"[/color] she said holding out one of the bags to Nigel. [/color] [color=lightgray][CENTER]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[/center][table][row][/row][row][cell] [h3][color=f26522][i][b]Nikola Warren[/b][/i][/color][/h3][i][b][color=f26522]Location:[/color][/b][/i] Supply (R) [i][b][color=f26522]Skills:[/color][/b][/i] N/A [/cell][cell] [right][img]https://i.ibb.co/YXcNVM2/Nikki3.gif[/img][/right] [/cell][/row][/table][CENTER]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[/center] Before Nikki had high tailed it out of the Mess Hall she did give a nod to Amelia about the thanks she was being given for the watch. It wasn't a big deal to Nikki but she was glad it was acknowledged. At least now the woman would be easier to keep track of the time. Seemed people could forget times and such. Nikki knew she used to when she first arrived. It was hard to get back to dealing with being on actual time again. Being out in the wilderness you only worried about when the sun came up and when it went down. Otherwise you did what you needed to go and took the time you needed to do it. There weren't shifts, or clock ins, or meal times. You ate when you had food, you hunted when you didn't. Worked when you could to survive, otherwise tried to keep from doing too much because if you didn't have food there were no calories to fuel yourself. Here that wasn't a problem so staying on schedule was. Back in the Supply building Nikki looked around. She had time before she was actually back on shift and while Nikki was bubbly and full of energy the girl was young and she didn't work unless she had to and was on the clock. Anyways Auntie usually had a meeting with Maddog after lunch to make sure that Alpha, Beta, and Sea Teams had anything they needed if any of them were in town at the time. All three were now, which meant it would be a long meeting and she wouldn't get stared down by the woman for being idle when she was off the clock. [color=f26522]"What to do, what to do.."[/color] Nikki muttered to herself between chews of her gum and blowing bubbles. Then an idea came to her mind and a grin began to curl along the edge of her lips. Giggling slightly she popped a large bubble and sucked it back into her mouth before skipping down the isles of the main part of the supply building. Amelia had to find clothing for the funeral thing later today. Auntie had told her she could go shopping. Well Amelia was having lunch with her girlfriend, so Nikki figured she could see about finding a few things. Now Nikki didn't have a clue to what type of clothing Amelia liked to wear. The woman had mentioned something simple but what did that really mean? Simple could mean light or just black. It was wide open for interpretation as far as Nikki was concerned. This was probably why on the counter as the minutes ticked by more and more clothing was laid out. Sure there was a simple dark gray summer dress, and a little black dress next to it, that was about the only things even close to being described as simple. After that it went to three piece suits, large black sunglasses that looked like Jaqui-O would have worn, there was even a full length black formal evening gown there with sequin's. This is what Nikki did until she couldn't fit anymore on the counter. Before the bell rang to signal the end of the forth lunch Nikki was however in the back room rummaging through a few of the newer boxes. They had to be gone through anyways and it allowed her to see if there was anything new for Amelia to use while being on the clock, sighing herself in as Auntie wanted. Nikki didn't even notice when the bell did ring to let her know the time was 1330 now. At least not until the speakers went quiet again. Looking up from her box she glanced around the back room and then it dawned on her that if Amelia was back by now, which she hoped she was, she wouldn't have known it. Amelia wouldn't have known she was back here and Nikki wouldn't have heard her as she had her head buried in a box. Rushing back towards the front she called out. [color=f26522]"Amelia! I'm in the back!"[/color] she said before coming through the door quickly and glancing around. [/color]
