@POOHEAD189 Dude, you don't know she's blushing at Owen. She could be blushing at Murphy or Marc. That's metagaming, yo.

Edit-- Also, how did he hear her rushed conversation from across a room? Why would he say goodbye and not good luck? Since when can he even speak Hindi? XD

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn Lol. Cool.

Yeah, I mean if Belle shrugs it off, she shrugs it off. It wasn't said to try and change Belle or anything. It was just Cass getting her agitation off her chest because she doesn't hold onto her anger. She unleashes it and then gets on with life, haha. :D

A buzzing caught Cass’s attention and she looked around and noticed a timid looking Asian guy smiling at herself and the others before he left. She gave a small but confused smile back to him and a tiny wave that she was sure that he had missed. She shook her head, blinking a couple times, trying to understand why he had walked over then just walked away. Some people had some odd quirks in the group it seemed.

Her own phone went off and she checked it to find a message from Tas again. Cool, so no Korean and nothing with Lemons. That was oddly specific but she figured she wouldn’t ask questions. Steak and whiskey it was then. She would just let her know when she went out with the bags, rather than texting her. Claire accepted Cass’s offer. “Yeah, ‘course. I’ll take it out in a sec ‘nd try not beat yerself up too much. She’ll forgive ye when she’s ready but I’m sure ye already know tha’.” Claire wheeled over her case and Cass took hold of it, sitting it beside her own while the girl with the pink hair, who still hadn’t told Cass her name yet, seemed to accept her apology. She gave her another smile as acknowledgement.

Talking to so many different people at once was going to be difficult. Hopefully once they got to Disneyland they’d be able to break off in smaller groups or something. As much as she wanted to get to know everyone, Cass was not enthused about spending the entire time in a huge group with everyone talking over everyone else. Not that Cass couldn’t make herself heard, it was more a case of not wanting to rock anyone’s boat without realising it, that she preferred to avoid.

Cass had to raise an eyebrow when a red head that looked like she’d had a silver spoon ingrained in her throat stepped up behind PinkTink (this was what Cass had decided to call this quiet lady until she introduced herself) and went off on a tirade of self-absorbed, self-entitled and anti-empathetic words. Holy bloody hell it was impossible to explain just how much Cass instantly disliked this girl. She had her reasons, but they were her own and she wasn’t about to share them with essential strangers.

She crinkled her nose and looked more than a little bit disgusted as the girl known as Belle finally stopped talking. Cass turned to face towards Belle and kept a look of judgement on her face as she took a deep breath before beginning the coming onslaught.

“Well I see at least one reason why this day might nae be so damn magical, happy or joyful.” She began to raise her fingers, one, two, three, as she rhymed off her reasons. “It’s got ginger hair, a gob bigger than ‘eh Grand Canyon ‘nd a silver spoon shoved so far up its arse tha’ it’d need to be removed by a crowbar. But beyond tha’? People have some shit goin’ on ‘nd jus’ because ye dinnae fancy dealin’ wae it it disnae mean tha’ it’s not gonna be fuckin’ there, needin' dealt wae. Now hop in yer car ‘nd mind yer fuckin’ own ‘fore I knock yer arse on ‘eh floor an’all.” Her accent became really heavily Glaswegian at this point and she spoke so fast it would be a wonder if many of them understood everything she had said, with the exception perhaps of Claire.

She curled her hand into a fist as she finished but not out of anger, just out of habit. She might have just let loose on Belle now but in about ten minutes, it was all going to be just another fart in the wind. She grabbed the two cases and began to walk out of The Bean to head to Tas’s car.

---

Cass found her way to the parking lot and found Tas’s car. She gave a nod of the head as she walked towards the car from the driver’s side. “Heya Tas, cheers for this.” She called out as she headed around the back of the car, opening the trunk and fitting the cases inside, playing a little bit of Tetris to make them fit. She shut the door down and walked around to see Tas properly for the first time.

Cass was a little bit more than worried now but didn’t want to put Tas in an uncomfortable position by mentioning it. She noticed a cute guy sitting in the passenger seat and the adorable Asian guy from The Bean not long ago. She gave them both a wave and smiled to Tas. “I was thinkin’ steak ‘nd whiskey once we’re over there. If ye fancy anythin’ else jus’ gimme a buzz ‘nd I can reorganise things. But for now, I will see ye when we get there! Drive safe guys.” She grinned as she gave two gentle taps to the car as she made her way towards her bike.

She grabbed her helmet and slung her leg over, resting her backside on her seat. She then realised she hadn’t told Claire that she wouldn’t be back for her. Slipping her phone out, Cass fired a text her way.

To The Irish Fire:
Heya, meant to say I’d get you out on the bike but that entitled little prick made me lose my train of thought. I’m here now, cases are safely in Tas’s trunk and I’m ready to go when you are.

Time: Afternoon
Weather: Normal

Interacting With: Each other, James, Dexter, Jaime and Zoie.

Shit she knew Banjo Lips. Meh, he could overlook it maybe, depending how good she was in the sack. He turned to look at her again as Victor moved out of his way but no sooner had he moved to turn his head than she was on top of him. Nose to nose. Shit she was warm. Richard squirmed a little, trying to pretend like Sanchez and Dex weren’t right behind him, pressed again his back while he took in every little bit of his new obsession. He shifted his lower half, trying to knock her off at first before realising that he actually didn’t mind this situation beyond the two guys being here too. He relaxed himself and smiled silently, listening to her. His face was in a cloudy haze as she near enough damn well rode his fucking bones without the most fun, and naked, part of it.

Well that did it. Dick was in love. He grinned as she made her threats and he damn well believed every single one of them. This was going to be fun. He watched as she jumped off him and told Froggy to get in back. Richard got out the cab and motioned to let the doctor sit inside, so that Richard could keep his perch at the window. Victor remained quiet and entered the vehicle with his machete and pack in hand. He gave a smile to Zoie by way of thanks before his head disappeared inside. He appreciated that she took care of him, more than he really verbalised.

As he waited for Froggy to get inside, he looked up to Zoie in her perch and grinned. ”Hey now, I meant no harm. Just watchin’ my six. Suddenly having a huge, French man lumbering towards me and demanding that I open my mouth ain’t exactly fucking welcoming. Y’know? But consider yourself heard.” He gave her a wink and smug little smile before he, quite openly fixed his lower regions (without full on pulling it out) before ducking back into the now uncomfortably full cab and shut the door over. He heard the two pounds on the beast and they were off, heading to wherever Banjo Lips was taking them.

This day might have been bad to start with but it seemed to be looking up for Richard. Sure he might need to damn with a nigger, beaner and a frog but he could deal with that if it meant he might get to deal with electricity, running water and now, the sweet piece of ass they’d just picked up. And no, he didn’t mean Froggy. The only thing that could make this day any better is if Banjo Lips or Dirty Sanchez bit the bullet. He was rooting for Sanchez in this race but would be happy with either or. But if Banjo Lips kicked it then who’d take them to this settlement? Okay, Dirty Sanchez it was.

---

The carnage at Newnan was apparent even before they entered it. Victor couldn’t really see too much considering Richard was covering the entire window as he looked out of it and there were two other people in the way of the other window. He simply sat in silence, content that he was no longer in the open or walking to their destination.

Richard saw the mess of Deadbrain bodies scattered here, there and everywhere. He was glad he’d missed whatever piece of hell that ripped through here was. He heard the exchange between Zoie and Black James and watched the scene of Newnan unfolding before him. He was glad to be inside the Buster, that was for sure.

Lorna Dunn

Time: Afternoon
Weather: Normal
Location: Newnan >> Infirmary
Interacting With: Leann, Ash, El Jefe, the sisters and anyone else in the area

Lorna gave a curt nod at Leann’s new orders and gripped the rifle, keeping aim with it as she followed Ash’s lead. She surveyed the areas opposite of where Ash was keeping tabs and noticed the same as he did. This was going to take a lot of work to clear up but it would be worth it. Ash gave her a snarky remark back about his jacket and she couldn’t help but grin. She liked Cap, he was a decent guy and a good solider. She was glad to have met him, she decided. “She sounds like my kind of woman. I’ll be happy to meet her when she gets back.”

Slinging her rifle over her head, resting it on her opposite shoulder, Lorna grabbed her katana again slowly. Not letting the metal make noise as she unsheathed the blade. She spied a cluster of two Walkers that were a decent distance away from any other groupings and not in the line of sight that Ash was watching. They were a little too close for comfort. She signalled to Ash that she was heading for them.

She quickly and quietly made her way forward and sliced in one fluid motion, disconnecting their legs at the knees. The two Walkers slumped to the ground and began clawing towards her. One looked much older than the other so she opted to make her boots match, using her clean foot to beat its skull in. The squelching noise as unmistakeable as ever while, simultaneously, her blade chopped off the other ones cranium. The noises were not something Lorna was ever going to get used to.

She made her way back over to the group, her blade being wiped on Ash’s jacket to rid it of the worst of its blood before she sheathed it again. Her rifle was back in her hands and she motioned that they were clear on her side.

She looked forward to where Ash was pointing and her eyes widened for a second before her brow furrowed in concern. “Holy fucking shit…” She hadn’t seen anything like it and she hoped to dear fucking God that this was one of the Newnan bodies and not an intruder. She did not feel like going toe-to-toe with that beast. She watched as he just mowed his way through Walkers like a man utterly possessed and then she realised she knew that demeanour. She knew that face.

He’d lost someone… or maybe he’d just lost his mind? No. There was a kind of “lack of purpose” purpose to his path of destruction. She knew that feeling. She’d been there before. Although this… This was something else entirely. She thought of her dad and of Calvin. Her heart sank, her stomach knotted and her jaw set as she forced herself to forget again. No. Not now. She swallowed the lump in her throat and watched the distraught man clear a path for a truck. Now was probably the time to ask. ”Friend or foe?” She raised an eyebrow and looked to Ash and Leann. Maria and Kris were still bringing up the rear, covering their six.

It was nice to see Tas seeming a little more open. Cera had worked hard to try and get in her good books so far and didn’t want to fall back out of her graces. She seemed really nice and Cera aimed to make friends in her time here and what better place to start than the people that had been here longest. She still had a way to go before Tas and Cera could class one another as proper friends, but there was plenty time for that hopefully. She gave a chortle at Tas’s joke about the water and her smile widened when she heard that Tas had the day off. ”That’s good! Ye can take some time to yerself then hopefully.”

As Desh walked into the dining room, Cera raised an eyebrow at the nonsense that he was saying but said nothing aloud. Her face showed nothing more than genuine curiosity at the owner of their new home. Desh was a little eccentric and seemed to be able to sell sweets to a diabetic. Her curiosity, however, was quickly replaced by the biggest smile.

Cera’s face lit up as she noticed that had Murphy walked into the room like a man on a mission. He was heading straight for Desh and she had to stifle a small laugh at the enfolding scene. Poor Tas… Cera winced as she was nudged face first into her cornflakes. Yikes. That was going to be uncomfortable. ”Mornin’ to ye too, Murph. Rough start?”

Once Tas was done clearing her face up, Cera gave a genuine laugh as she dumped the bowl of remaining cereal and milk all over Murphy. Cera then smiled warmly as Anya came over and she gave her a happy wave. ”Good mornin'. How was mandir?” She graciously accepted the prashaad and bowed her head a little in respect. A smile played across her lips as she watched Anya give the small little sweets to everyone else that would accept them.

As Anya stepped away she noticed Cander had entered the dining room behind her and she gave a smile his way as well, in manner of greeting before looking to Marc who was accepting the sweet from Anya too. If Cera wasn’t already in a light-headed mess from Murphy being in the room, she was definitely in one now. Owen had walked in and shrugged at the scene of Murphy’s new hat.

Cera barely knew him but she did know he was cute. She couldn’t help herself and had to pinch her thigh a little to take her attention away from staring at either of them although her cheeks were slightly flushed but hopefully people would just assume it was from the heat. She needed something to do to help her focus away.

Someone must have been reading her mind because the kitchen staff then walked in giving everyone a plate of traditional breakfast foods eaten in India. Cera happily tucked into the breakfast and filled her stomach for the morning ahead. As she was in the middle of chewing a rather large mouthful of tomato upma, her work phone began buzzing in her pocket. She hastily swallowed her mouthful and dug the phone out of her pocket. ”Shubh prabhaat. Haan. Theekse sun nahi parahi hu…”

She took the phone away from her ear and smacked it a couple of times in her palm. Stupid unreliable reception. ”Mujhe khed hai! Main abhee vahaan aati hoon!” She quickly grabbed another mouthful and downed a glass of water that had been given to her by Marc. ”Sorry guys! I have t’dash. See ye all at dinner!”

She gave Marc a playful punch on the shoulder and waved to everyone else, only letting her eyes look at Murphy and Owen for half a second before she ran out the dining room and headed to her room to grab her stuff for work. Apparently her classes started today and not next week like she had thought. She wasn’t late yet but they had asked her to call in to confirm the start date which she didn’t do. What a great first impression.

Marc was glad for once that Tas hadn’t just shut off and moved away or gave a curt response. He felt a little more relaxed by her attitude and opted to stick around for a little longer, at least for as long as Cera was there to act as the buffer. He gave a laugh at Tas’s joke about the water as well, grinning stupidly after it was done. He liked people with a sense of humour, maybe she wasn’t all that bad.

Marc then started grinning even more when he noticed the look on Cera’s face. She was so into Murphy that it was fun to watch her reactions. He hadn’t shared this information with Murphy because he knew Cera would kill him. They may have only known each other for a few weeks but Marc was all too aware that Cera would get physically sick knowing that Marc had told him. He didn’t want to do that to his new little buddy.

He spied Murphy and gave him a dumb salute in greeting. Why did he even do that? Murphy just brought out the dumb side of him it seemed. He watched the whole events unfold, he tried his hardest not to laugh at Tas’s face and Murphy’s head becoming breakfast but he couldn’t help himself. His head fell back as he laughed loudly. ”Well someone must be feeling a little soggy now.” He smiled, showing that it was a joke and hoped to fuck that Tas didn’t get mad at him again. He knew he’d be fine with Murphy though, they were too tight for that.

Marc wiped his eyes and his smile subsided a little when he saw Anya, but it didn’t go away completely. She was another woman in this hotel that he just didn’t get yet. She also seemed to have something against him but he had no idea what it could be. Tas he knew was pretty closed off, so he put that down to her personality when she doesn’t know people but Anya was so nice and friendly with everyone so he wasn’t sure why he got this vibe from her. It was probably all just in his head.

”Morning.” He gave his best, genuine smile and accepted one of the sweets that Anya had given him. He then spotted Alcander and Owen wandering in. He didn’t really know either of them yet so decided to just become absorbed in the foods that were being brought out for them all. He wasn’t sure what he’d like so he followed Cera’s leads on mealtimes and took the same as she did. It was pretty damn good. One day he would choose his own meal here, but today was not that day.

They were missing drinks to Marc wandered up and grabbed a couple glasses and poured some water into them from the jug that the staff had brought out for them. He walked back over and placed them down on the table. As he was eating, Cera’s phone went off and he listened to her speak fluently in Hindi (which he only knew because she’d been trying to teach him some to no avail) to someone on the phone her job had given her.

He figured it must be her work and let her do her thing. He was a little unhappy when she said that she had to go and he pouted his lips out as she bid them all farewell. ”But now who is going to show me around the city and help me find gigs!” He called after her but she just gave him another wave of her hand and called out ”Later tonight!” before heading off for work.

Marc knew Murphy was still around but he didn’t feel like drinking just yet so he decided he’d go for a walk around the city and scout out places that he might get work in. He had only learned one phrase from Cera so far and that was “No, thank you.” Hopefully that would be all he needed to know. He finished up his breakfast and let out a satisfying burp when he was done. ”Oh, oops, excuse me. Well, I’m going to head out too.” He wasn’t speaking to anyone in particular but he figured he’d look Murphy’s way a little more than the others. ”See you for drinks later?” He grinned and made his way out of the dining room and began his wander into the city alone.
