[color=f1c40f][b]Notes:[/b][/color] It seems that things are going well. We now have the whole dinner thing fully underway. Going to play it by ear. I will only be updating the areas now with active PC's in. If you are going to have your character head to different areas and want to know what will be up, let me know so I can put it in an update or message you back with some details if you are unsure how to go about it. Overall most main buildings are closed up for the evening: Mechanics and Fabrication, the Distillery, Supply, etc. Other will be open overnight but limited: Armory, Electrical, Education (a library is inside). Sun is still up but cresting along the horizon at this point. It will not get completely dark for some time as it is Summer in Florida: around 8:30 at night.

"Well we might be in more trouble than I though then," she said in a lofty voice before taking another bite of her food. She chewed it quickly, pocketing part of the bite in her cheek as she covered her mouth and kept talking. "Sugar was a huge in Louisiana and there's a settlement out that way that's been working on getting it and the mills back up and running," she added before swallowing what was in her mouth. Most smaller settlements tried to be self sufficient. Small farms if they could, hunting wasn't a big pay off these days thanks to the ways the walkers took out anything in their path, like blood thirsty locusts. However, some larger ones tried to have some sort of specialty these days. Something they could do that was rare these days, something they could trade for. CMB had small things they could trade, booze and fuel here and there, fish from time to time, but their specialty was medicine. "Oh come on, pets keep us young. Or so I'm told. Find the older the person the more patience they tend to have with pets." DoLittle shrugged a bit before looking over at Lisa. "And kids," she laughed. "Maybe we should put Nikki with Manny if she gets to be too much," she teased. Aeron took a deep breath. He didn't need his youngest sons ability to read people to tell there was something weighing on his new friends heart. It was out there, raw and open. Anyone could see it. He had to admit it pained him. Aeron never liked to see anyone suffering. It just wasn't in him, even enemies out on the battle field had been treated well by him when taken prisoner. Seeing someone that Aeron was starting to consider a friend in pain hit a lot harder. Then the question came. "I wish I knew but we have man here and far more have come and gone." The General did know everyone in the camp one way or another. He tried to make sure to talk to everyone at least from time to time and he reviewed all the files but there were so many. Singling out one location or one person was hard. Not to say it was impossible though. Camp Mexico Beach had several things going for it, the least of them being paper work. Paper work was a good thing though, it meant records. It meant things could be looked up and cross referenced. It meant if there was or had been it could be found with the right amount of digging, as long as people were truthful. Even with everything they did to try to keep people on the up and up some lies still got through. Some they knew about and ignored because it wasn't a big deal. Others, more dangerous ones though had been a problem in the past. "I will have Rolo look into it," he said quietly to Alexander. It perhaps wasn't an immediate search but it was something. Edna's head snapped around so quickly one might think it was about to snap as Nigel spoke up. "Don't encourage her!" "Ha! See! I told you people would be interested," Rosie laughed as the two women took their trays. Edna had gotten the salad as well while Rosie was loaded up with Sushi. "Fine, you two have fun, I'm out of this conversation," Edna quipped before walking off all hoity. Meanwhile, while Amelia was up for her turn, Cook shook her head. "Nah, one tray but don't worry I'll make sure to set something aside for her so she doesn't miss out," Cook assured Amelia. Rosie didn't care about Edna walking off, she had someone new to talk to, she was excited. "Come on, let's have a seat," she said motioning over to an open table. As she turned she caught the look on Amelia's face. "Oh you wanna head it? Come on, I can regale two for the price of one," she laughed before she continued walking. "I'm talking viking like. Sailor type, sea worthy. Staff with a bell on the end," she started. "Metal Urn of with Ashes of a hero for a trinket. Ya know, last surviving party of a ship wrecked vessel, every so often his dead ship mates come to him in a dream to go finish things they had left undone in this world? Whether it's really them or not I don't care. He could be mad for all I care. I just want a staff weilding Cow running around dinging his cow bell and inspiring those around him with his baritone voice of gravel while he chews cud," she said as she took a seat. She seemed to be really into this idea. Now back to the Fuck Hunt. You see this was what DoLittle really wanted to hear about. It had gotten around the camp, people were funding it funny and there were even some bets being laid. DoLittle started laughing. "Why does the good shit always happen when I am on shift," she chuckled. "Okay, well fuck hunt sounds like a bag and tag operation. Though yeah, I'd imagine Bass was looking for more than a one night stand with Nikki, you see the way the guy watches her and such. He's totally smitten. Kind of feel bad for him, no, wait I don't. Everyone knows Nikki ain't the settling down type," she said before glancing over at Thana sitting up on the stage and Ash bee lining it for her. "Then again, if she does start taking more after that one she might. Oh this is some Days of Our Lives shit," she said with a smirk as she looked back over to Lisa. Stopping for a second DoLittle started looking around. She spotted Amelia. "Hold the phone..." she said before looking between Lisa and Manny. "Wasn't Nikki working with Amelia today? So where is the little fire cracker?" she asked as she perked a brow. Oh it seemed the games had just begun. [color=f1c40f][b]Jail (AA):[/b][/color] To help the scene flow better I am combining both Cage and Nikki below in her header. Figured it would be easier that way instead of only being able to get one back and forth per round. Thinking it will help move things along. (And since there are no longer other characters around those two right now I can treat it as a collab. Will break it back up later on.)

She kept tabs on a few people. Those she had spent time in the trenches with to be exact. Manny seemed to be settling in fine. He was sitting with Lisa and DoLittle. Thana hadn't really gotten to know either of them too well. She knew Lisa better than DoLittle tough. Lisa worked in Medical, so they had crossed paths. Plus she was Nikki's roommate. She seemed alright. Thana imaged she would be the type of person she wouldn't mind being outside the walls with. Someone that could handle themselves. DoLittle she wasn't so sure about. There was something about the woman she just didn't like. Alexander seemed to have found a new friend with her grandfather and that did make her smile. Her grandfather was personable but he didn't exactly sit down and shoot the shit with people. Seeing the two of them talking and the occasional laugh put her a little more at ease. Thalia was still in line but at least now the woman could get some training. Thana figured this was a good thing. Otherwise Thalia might just gut someone. Not to be mean but so she didn't get rusty as it were. All Thana's trains of thoughts quickly derailed when the door opened and she spotted Ash come in. She couldn't help but smile as her eyes fell on him. Thana was so used to be emotionally detached through everything it was odd. She really had no practice keeping her emotions in check now that they were out there. It was like once the dam broke how did one keep the waters back. She swore she had a better hold on her emotions when she was a teen than she did right then. So as Ash came over to her that smile only grew. Sliding her tray off her lap she set it down next to her. [color=0072bc]"Missed you,"[/color] Thana admitted. She had. In fact she had been rather disappointed that Ash hadn't been in the Mess Hall when she showed up. She was sure she was the one that was going to be late. She had figured she was going to be the one apologizing to them over it. Turned out the scene was flipped, so while disappointed she wasn't mad. There was nothing to forgive, especially when she learned where he had been. It made sense. Hunter had been arrested and someone had killed themselves the night before from what she knew. Cage wasn't exactly pleasant. He wasn't bad but he was trying to deal with. If Ash was only a little late getting to dinner Thana figured they both had gotten out lucky. At his question if she was off duty she nodded and started to lean in for a kiss. God she wanted a kiss. Even if it was only a quick one before he went to get his tray. Though it seemed that would have to wait because before she knew it Thalia was there. Thana straightened up and cocked a brow. Just what in the hell was the woman up to? For a moment Thana figured Thalia was finally cornering her so they could talk. That was fine. She could handle that. Ash and her had all night together. Okay, kiss can wait, a kiss can wait. Then she felt an arm around her shoulder and her eyes widened. Slowly her head turned to look at Thalia as if to ask, [color=0072bc][i][sub]"What in the actual fuck?"[/sub][/i][/color] This is where Thana had two options. Roll with it or start a brawl. Either would work, one would take longer. Turning her head she looked over to Ash sheepishly and shrugged. [color=0072bc]"Well we did spend a lot of time alone out in the woods together..."[/color] [/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] Jail (AA) [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] Seeing Nikki come up to his side Cage let out a short huff of a breath through his nose and one could feel the glare even as he closed his eyes to prepare for whatever was about to come out of the kids mouth. Thing was when she spoke he hadn't expected that. He stopped dead in his tracks, eyes slamming open, and a confused look etched across his face as he stared her down. "What in the hell do you need to see him about?" Nikki was direct and wasn't one to beat around the bush about things so she answered him rather matter-of-factually.[color=f26522]"Want to make sure the clown hasn't shot himself in the foot."[/color] Chewing her gum she popped a bubble as she stood there. "That ain't a fucking need kid." It wasn't a good enough excuse for him. And it could easily be argued that it wasn't exactly a need. Needs these days included food and water. Shelter wasn't a need to some, it was just a want. So going down the line of wants that were considered needs, this didn't even make the top ten. That was unless you were Nikki. [color=f26522]"Yeah it is."[/color] Cage tilted his head to the side as he crossed his arms over his chest and stared her down. He wasn't buying it. [color=f26522]"Either you let me in to see for myself or you know what's going to happen,"[/color] she said with a smile that was a bit too bright and a voice that was a bit too disturbing. Sadly, Cage did know what would happen. Nikki would be Nikki. Last time Nikki didn't get the information she wanted she spent three days herself in the lock up. Breaking and entering. Though her time in the cell was probably worse than most considering she had drank so much she was dealing with a hell of a hang over and Cook during that time had come across some spices and onions, so every meal was heavy, had a lot of heat, and a strong aroma that made the girls hangover even worse. "Fine... but you have to take his damn tray back to the Mess Hall," he said. [color=f26522]"Deal!"[/color] Shaking his head Cage and Nikki moved the cart inside of the house that was the makeshift jail for the camp. Cage knew he could say no and just wait to bust Nikki before she even got close to picking a lock but this was easier. It wasn't against regulations. Nikki was still on duty, she knew the drill, she had cleaned up in the jail before. She also had passed enough of the safety courses to be allowed to work in Safety from time to time now. Added bonus was now Cage wouldn't have to deal with another tray tonight. Pushing the cart over to the corner he pulled his keys out and headed to the door. Nikki in tow. Unlocking it, he pulled it open and headed down the stairs. "Wait," he said over his shoulder before coming around the corner and in view of Hunter. "You have a visitor. Try anything and you'll regret it," he warned Hunter before snapping his fingers. Peaking her head out from around the corner Nikki grinned and then hoped down the last two steps and puffed up. [color=f26522]"[i]You have a visitor. Try anything and you'll regret it,[/i]"[/color] Nikki mocked and wagged her finger towards Hunter. "I'm too old for this shit... 30 minutes," Cage said before storming off. Nikki turned around and watched him vanish around the corner, hearing his boots on the steps, and then the inevitable door slam and lock. Rolling her eyes she turned back around and walked over to the jail bars and had a seat on the floor. [color=f26522]"Izi's with me."[/color] [/color]
