Note: Dinner wrapping up. Things are getting cleaned up. Most everyone that doesn't work in the Mess Hall has left and headed either back to their residences or to where they work. You will find them milling about the town. Many are started to head down to the beach. The Beach is closed currently and anyone not already a signed down there it is off limits to. The area is roped off but not guarded. Though, no reason it would need to be, there were some people armed about and long term residents that had been cleared did have knives.
Down on the beach Maddog, Bass, Preacher, Volts, and some others were setting up their equipment. There was what seemed to be a permanent platform built on the sand that was rather large. Dance floor it seemed with an area for the band and a bar set up. Adelaide was there pulling out jars of clear and brown liquids and setting up. Gunny was with Mizrahi setting up a fire pit in the sand a bit down the beach with a rack over it to do the boil on. Chairs were being set up and blankets laid out by some members of Supply and it seemed that Auntie was yelling orders.

Thana would deal with what Ash was saying in a moment, as she was being spoken to by Thalia right then. She smirked a bit and let out a short chortle before she yelled back to her. 1Si me deja subir por aire," she called out and then stuck her tongue out. What Thalia wanted to talk to her about she didn't know and she couldn't think of anything off the top of her head. Thana wasn't in charge here and didn't have pull here. Everything came down to her dad and grandfather. If they had nixed Ash and Thalia, even Thana couldn't have stopped it. Hell, Thana was in big debt because of them, all of them, but she wasn't mentioning that. And Thana couldn't imagine that Thalia would be one of those to demand or even ask for anything on day 1. Thalia had never been on of those entitled ones Thana had dealt with in the past. Thalia had proven herself. So what Thalia wanted was beyond her.
That could wait though, looking back at Ash she chuckled and took care of the door. "Just keep thinkin' of me as yer back pack," she said as she hugged around his neck some and held on as he carried her inside. Thana kept holding on until they got to their room and were inside. It wasn't until that she finally let go and went to sit down on the edge of her bed. Leaning over she unlaced her shoes and pulled them off for now. They had a few before the party. Not long but long enough. "Still can't believe you were here when I arrived," she said as she set her shoe down and went on to the other. "I'd given up when we came through that gate."
Sighing she pushed her hair out of her face and looked over to Ash. It wasn't an easy thing to admit. It was harder to think about. "I swear, if I never see the outside of them walls again I'll be just fine with that," she added after a few minutes. Thana didn't want to see that part of the world anymore. She would work to stay strong, it was part of what CMB did. Keep its residents strong so they could handle outside of those walls and not loose their edge. But they also worked to try to make sure people didn't have to live in that world anymore. Thana had seen Eden and she had since heard and ran across worse. No, if she had to stay in these walls until she died, she would be happy to scrub toilets with a tooth brush for the next fifty years and be grateful for the life.
Holding her hand out, Thana looked over to Ash and smiled. "Come here," she said in a soft voice. Okay, they wouldn't have enough time to get their bow-chica-wa-wa-assault on but hey, a little alone time and just being close could be very nice before the party kicked off.

Nikki rolled her eyes as she popped a bubble of gum. "Yeah but then again, they didn't have to keep out Douchers that wanna gnaw on you like a buffet. Or robbers who will skin ya alive as quick as look at you. Or have to keep bug populations in check without a world of Raid spray, or feeding people without a Piggy Wiggly open for the last five years, or make sure people ain't being dumb enough to wanna to for a walk where others have to come save them just because their being dumb, or idiots making jokes about tight rules in a place that's thriving and they came in here looking like they should be on an add saying 'For Only 19 cents a day you too can feed a starving child in the Apocalypse'," she said in a "joking manner" as she chuckled and bounced around from the curb to the street to the curb again.
Stopping she placed a finger on her chin before looking at Hunter. "But you were in the military, so you're used to being told when to eat, how to dress, what you can keep in your foot locker, where you can go, what you can do, even when to take a dump. So this place is pretty lax considering you get to keep a dog here as Army barracks don't allow them," she countered him with a hop, a skip, and a jump around as she kept chewing her gum. Sighing she stopped and walked up to him tilting her head back so she could look up at him. "I have to ask, are you trying to be hated around here by acting this way? Just wondering." It was an honest question from her. He seemed rather critical of a place that was thriving five years in and had the resources to take more in. That and Nikki was a bit defensive of the most steady home she had had, even if she counted before the outbreak.
Nikki's head turned as she looked over towards Thana and shook her head. "Oh Sparrow? Nah. Not famous but if you wanna know about her, why don't you just ask her yourself? How you get to know people. Like here we go. Hi, I'm Nikki, I'm a bubbly smart ass who hates liars and loves chewing gum. I'm an Army Brat who moved around a lot growing up. My father died a few years ago, never knew my mother." Nikki kept walking as she spoke before looking back over towards Hunter. "Your turn. Welcome to Checkbooks Getting To Know You Hour. Bachelor number one - What would be your ideal first date?" she asked with a smile on her face.
