[color=f1c40f][b]Notes:[/b][/color] Another round of skipping ahead slightly. NPC's are assumed to be mulling about like extra's in a tv show. If you need to interact, go ahead. If you have a specific question feel free to ask. This post is going to be.. off. (Anniversary of the day my mother died and I didn't realize it until this morning, so needless to say my mind isn't in writing today but funny, she was an author, so I guess it is fitting that I am writing today. Anywho, there it is. Bear with me.) Next week we should be within a round to change days and maybe skip ahead to the court martial unless anyone has anything specific. Oh and the whole DnD thing in the camp - that WILL be a real thing! We will be hosting an RP within an RP and ANYONE is welcome to have their character host one! Sessions will be done in a special chat room in discord and you will be Rping out in collab your PC's reactions to their own characters! Please remember DnD was only up to 3rd edition at the time of virus beginning. Other systems are welcome as well. I will be using Nightlife, which is the system that gave me the idea for how we are now handling skills! So get ready, we are about to Inception the fuck out of this RP!)

The air is starting to cool but it is still hot and humid. Being that it is summer in Florida it isn't ever really going to be cool during the nights, merely tolerable. People are out more now that dinner is wrapping up. Where kids were playing soccer and kickball before they are more mellow now, sitting in grassy places talking or playing card games like Magic the Gathering. Little groups form at tables or in open spots, people chatting and hanging out in the early evening air. Like seems rather calm all things considered. Several women are sitting out on porches in front of their ground floor apartments, they are cross stitching and preparing quilting squares as they rock back and forth in their chairs. One can see several armed people here and there making their rounds, on the walls every fifty feet or so are more heavily armed guards manning their posts and keeping an eye out on the world on the other side of the wall. Lights are starting to be turned on in homes and buildings that are still open. Places like the Education Center, admin, and the hospital are more lit than other buildings and seem to stay that way. Joaquin and Atticus have headed back to the church by now. Michael is finally leaving the hospital with Mary, the two are catching a later dinner than others. Maddoc and Mizrahi are just south of the Education Center in the middle of a fight. It doesn't look to be something angry but more of a sparring session between the two. Mizrahi is faster and stronger than Maddoc but the elder has experience and is more than holding his own. Aeron looked over to Alexander and gave a grandfatherly smile. "I don't think he would mind, he had listened to myself many night." Motioning with his cane towards the Education Center with its lights on before continuing in that direction. "He is more understanding that many of the cloth that I have met. He did serve as well, hot zones in the middle east. Self proclaimed Battle Priest. I think that is good here, since so many have served. He understands the life and choices we had to make." As they got closer to the buildings Aeron chuckled. "Oh no, Edna makes sure everything is in order. She likes to keep things in order, has even organized everything according to the Dewy Decimal System. Things such as articles and pictures we old birds used to keep as reminders are now one of the few things left of the more current histories. For her, they are educational material and taken care of as such," he said as they reached the center. It was unlocked and one of two were milling about in the general area. Inside they would need to ahead across the main foyer and to one side before finding the library. It was impressive, walls and shelves full of books, filling up what had to have been three or four rooms originally before the walls were knocked down. "This way, there is storage in the basement for our older items that might be sensitive to the light that is coming in the windows during the day," he added before heading to a door marked archives. This door was locked. Reaching into his pocket he started to fish for his keys. [color=f1c40f][b]Mess Hall (C):[/b][/color] Rosie looked over to Manny and nodded, giving a little wave with the fork still in her hand. Looking back over at Amelia she grinned. "Well we got a library that's fer sure." Stabbing at her food, she continued. "It wasn't much more than what we could collect from around the houses and condos here for a long time but once we got situated the General had us, if not really looking for reading material, collecting it if we ran across it. We've been able to raid a lot of book stores and college stores in our territory." Shrugging she took another bite of her food. Nodding, she did to the same to Amelia as she had done to Manny, a little wave goodbye with her fork still in her hand. Rosie obviously didn't pause long between bites, eating so quickly had to have an affect on her stomach, or at least some in camp might say that. "See ya later Sportacus," Rosie chuckled as he headed out before she went back to trying to get the last bits of food off her tray. She wasn't one to let anything be left behind. Though she considered it as Sheers came over and sat down next to her with a tray of food. If one were to notice Edna right then she was snickering from behind her glass of water. She knew Rosie only tolerated Sheers and just barely. The Major nodded slightly. "I vould say curiosity kills the cat but I've yet to see it," she said as she stared at Thalia. She seemed to pause, taking the girl in, looking her over. It was much the way that Macsen looked at people but at least when Macsen did it didn't set people off. The Major had no such bedside, or in this case tableside manner. When she looked at someone, wanting to read them it was was cold. She didn't hide it, one could tell she was weighing things out in her mind. It was cold and a bit creepy. One couldn't tell if she was going to finally snap or devour the person she was looking at. After a long uncomfortable moment she finally spoke again. "I vill put you on D Roster. Tomorrov. 2000 hours, open field south of Education Building they vill meet for training." Standing up she picked up her tray. "If you are late, you vill not get another chance." It was a flat delivery void of opinion. It was fact, as much as two plus two equaled four. A curt nod and the Major turned to go bus her tray. [color=f1c40f][b]General Housing (X):[/b][/color] Back in housing and more specifically in Lisa and Nikki's shared apartment, things are calm. Izi is taking it easy. Glad to be out of the single room, granted she is more used to being out in the open a lot but at least now she can get up and walk around a bit before settling back down. She is a little lethargic but that is to be expected. She has an owner, one she is used to, and used to be outside in the wild. But dogs will be dogs and air conditioning with a soft couch is a lot better to lay down in than the heat and woods. [color=f1c40f][b]Jail (AA):[/b][/color] Down in the cell, things are calm. Nothing is coming out of cracks in the wall and scurrying across the ground right now, which is probably a good thing. The smell if cleaner hangs in the air but a low rumble starts up and a fan kicks on, air starts circulating from the air vents outside of the cell. The air is cool and clean and it helping to get rid of the smell of bleach and disinfectant. Upstairs, the radio crackles and Cage answers it, it's Macsen. "Yeah." [i]"Hell of a request."[/i] "Within my authority." [i]"Mhmm."[/i] "Don't give me that shit, you going to approve it or not?" [i]"Yes."[/i] "Good." The crackle goes silent and Cage places the radio back down before rubbing his face. He was going to pay for this and he knew it. Nothing was free, especially these days. [/color] [color=lightgray][CENTER]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[/center][table][row][/row][row][cell] [h3][color=0072bc][i][b]Thana Martin[/b][/i][/color][/h3][i][b][color=0072bc]Location:[/color][/b][/i] Beach (L11) [i][b][color=0072bc]Skills:[/color][/b][/i] N/A [/cell][cell] [right][img]https://i.ibb.co/JdKs8wt/Thanascarred3-A.jpg[/img][/right] [/cell][/row][/table][CENTER]━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[/center] At that moment there wasn't really anything for Thana to say. Ash spoke and she listened. More than listening though she felt his arms around her. It was warm and comforting, even though it was still hot right then outside she didn't mind. She knew she could have broke out in a sweat and she still wouldn't pull away. Leaning more against him she simply nodded. Wherever he was at was her home as well. Now that he was here it finally was starting to feel like a home. Home, something most didn't have these days. Then again, thinking on it, Thana could remember plenty of times that she didn't feel like she had a home. Growing up, thanks to her now dead sister, her parents house never felt like home. Maybe it would have been different if her father had been around more but he wasn't. He was serving, he was gone most of the time. Long stretches away, leaving her to fend for herself as her mother and sister teamed up against her. The Spare as they liked to call it. It wasn't until after she joined the Navy that she had felt like she had a home. She fit in there, oddly enough. it didn't matter that she was shipped out all over the world, serving felt like home. Her team was family. Then the world ended and she tried to hang on to that home but it was lost. Finding Newnan was a fluke. And it wasn't home but it was the start of something. Glancing over to Ash out of the corner of her eye she remembered seeing him the first time up close. Snow covered the ground, she was let in through the front gate. People seemed confused. Ash looked at her like he had seen a ghost and quickly told her to cover her face. It was a very confusing way to start. Granted it was made clear after he got her stashed away from the sight of the others. She had wondered if it was needed, then seeing how people reacted to her she understood that it had been. Things only got more difficult from there. No, Newnan had never been home. There wasn't time for it to become a home. Then again, Thana felt it never would be home. Even with Ash there. There was a ghost that haunted her presence there. People saw her but thought of someone else. Someone who was and was not real. Sure they had been but what they showed people she till wondered if it was true or was it just another well placed facade. Shaking off the thought Thana leaned in more to Ash as she looked out over the water, seeing the waves creep up on the shore. No, this was home now. Ash was here, the ghost of siblings past wasn't. Thalia, Alexander, Manny were here. Yes she had her grandfather and uncle and dad but even they weren't as close to her as her new family. CMB was home, for now. If they one day had to leave home would be wherever they went, as long as they went together.

It was more like she was slumped there in the chair, like a rag dog that had been tossed onto a seat and just fell into whatever position gravity would have her lay. Slack and boneless, enough to where she was slowly sliding out of the seat towards the ground as she waited for Gunny and Cage to have their little call on the radio. She could hear both ends thanks to it being a radio instead of a phone. So before Gunny even looked at her and gave her the okay she already knew what the answer was. That didn't stop her from sliding out of her seat fully and onto the ground. It wasn't until after the so called call was over that she fell forward and finally stood up. [color=f26522]"Ugh fine... But I want extra credit for this shit,"[/color] she grumbled as she headed for the door. She didn't bother to look back and see if Gunny had anything else to say. She knew what she had to go and do now. It was eating into her time eating and she did like to eat. Granted everyone did these days. She just hoped a tray would be set aside for her and that someone hid said tray from Dusty so she would at least get dinner. That would have to wait though. First things first, she needed to walk Izi. The dog had been inside for a while now. Then she would make sure to grab her skateboard to since she had to finish up and head back to the jail again to drop things off for Cage. Groaning she double timed it back to the apartment and headed inside. Smiling she noted the note was gone and could hear the showing running. [color=f26522]"Taking the god for a walk and still working! Be back later!"[/color] she yelled after knocking on the door to the bathroom. She hoped Lisa would hear her. Grabbing the leash and a baggie she hooked the leash to Izi. She nearly got out the door before remembering she needed her skateboard. Reaching into the hall closet she grabbed it before heading out the door real fast and closing it behind her. [/color]
