^{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}

Lunch for Camp Mexico Beach runs from 1100 hours until 1430 hours with the last lunch beginning at 1330 hours. These hours tend to make the camp seem much busier than normal. People moving quickly to ensure that they have everything done in time for their shift or rushing out of the lunch room to get back to their duties before time is up. Having so many people in a confined area, many older, some very young, makes it difficult to have things run on time but from the general look of things they manage.

Administration (A): The General was inside Administration, more specifically he was downstairs looking around at what the two had gotten done so far while they were taking their meal. As they came back in he looked over to Thalia and Alexander. "My you have made some progress down here, most delightful." The man was very pleased about the progress. Even more had been made since Thalia and Alexander had left for lunch. Garbage had been taken up, boxes and bags that were full and ready for supply had been taken out as well.

"It will be nice to put this room to use once you are finished," the General added as he leaned against one of the tables slightly and rested his cane next to him. "We normally don't have the staff to spare to do little side projects like this but when I read your files I knew you were the two I needed." Motioning towards one of the walls. "Other side of that wall is our communications, how we keep in touch with people when we can when they are out on runs, among other things. We are hoping to move it in here, larger room, bigger operation. Something we have wanted to do for a while now but we haven't had certain necessities," he explained. "Mostly people who know such things," he added pointing at the two of them. "You are just what the doctor ordered."

The General seemed delighted at the prospect as he stood back up fully and took his cane. "Well I will leave you to it, see you this evening," he said before making his way back out. The two had more cleaning to do it seemed and now they knew why they were working on that specific room. Seemed the job wasn't random, they had been picked for a purpose.

Hospital (B): After the bell rings and third lunch is over Mary comes down and looks around. "Looking better, listen, need you two at the Water Repair Shop at 2, sorry, 1400 hours," she said in a slightly annoyed voice over the military time. "Sea team is back and their vessel needs a full clean down of their medical and Medic is gonna need a full restock on the boat. He will be back from lunch by that time. So do what you can here, then run those results," she said pointing towards the files sitting on the table, "over to Admin, then head over to the Shop," she said before giving a last look around, a curt nod and heading back out.

It seemed that Mary was keeping the new team on their feet. Lisa would be used to this, Sea Team was a big deal and would go out for weeks at a time, they had their own personal medic for the trips and they were the ones that brought in a lot of the food for the camp. Clean up usually though would take a good four hours alone. Together it would still take more time that Manny had before he left, unless they really knocked it out. That would have to wait and see as they still had some more to finish up down there for now.

Mess Hall (C): Bass lifted his head from taking a bite of his food, casserole, and glanced around the room. Spotting Nikki and seeing her make a beeline for a place other than where he was sitting caused a surprised look to come across his features. His eyes darting around the room for a moment as he seemed to take in the rest of the place before going back to her. A sigh left the man before he looked down and went back to eating.

Joaquin, on the other hand, seemed over joyed that someone was actively trying to engage him instead of blowing him off: even if it did come with insult. One that made the Latino raise his hand and bite his thumb at Nigel. As he pulled his thumb away he gave a sly crooked grin. "Never get in a battle of wits with a Gonzales when death is on thy line for thou may find that he meets his maker far before he imagined." It was a clear taunt, said in jest, but those not knowing Joaquin might easily believe that he was as serious as a heart attack. Whether he was or not was hard to tell as his attention was diverted by his sister. "My angel, leaving so soon? Parting is such sweet sorrow but fret not! I shall find thee again! And we shall speak of such wonderful things as to make thys head spin!" Granted, just talking to Joaquin might make anyone's head spin.

Mizrahi glanced around between bites but mostly kept to himself and his meal. Others were quickly trying to get out. Cook sighed as Cheers went out the door. Shaking her head she looked over to Mizrahi, who seemed to sense something. "Ask her for me, she'll listen to ya," she insisted. Mizrahi looked at the woman as if he had no clue what she was talking about. "Ask Sparrow to go on a run, she'll listen to you, please? I'll make baklava." Mizrahi seemed to grumble under his breath but nodded as he stood up and went to bus his tray. He wanted to get out of there as well now and regretted taking his time with his meal.

Others were sitting and eating, watching what was going on as people started making their way out of the place to make sure they were on their way and to get back to work before the speakers went off. Guy hurried with his tray, and ran over to Amelia. "Hey girl!" he said before hugging her without warning. "Boss said you made it back, good to see ya. Would talk more but I gotta get to work, will catch ya at dinner I hope," he said before rushing off, giving Nikki a bit of a wave. The speakers did go off a little bit after Guy rushed out of the Mess Hall. Third lunch shift was over, forth was now halfway through, and fifth was starting. Others started coming in a short time later. Morales came out of the kitchen and set himself down with his food and Auntie by his side. She must have come in the back way. Chase came in and sat down, her hair wind blown and everywhere. Riley came in ad grabbed a tray, looking around and spotting Amelia, whom she made a bee line for. Tati and Jack came in with Jamie behind Hank. Everyone moving to get trays and get their food as well.

Lunch Choices: Slab of tuna casserole (Hot): tuna baked with handmade thick noodles, mixed with mushrooms and peas with cream and a hint of sherry ~*~ Sushi (Multiple Variations): Has Run Out! ~*~ Tuna Salad (Chilled): Tuna with peas/carrots/pasta with olives and a zesty dressing over it.

Mechanics (K): "I really don't care, I had my requisition in, get it done," Rivets snapped towards Tesla and Volts. The two exchanged a look between each other before Tesla threw his hands up and walked back into Fabrication. "Where the hell is he going?"

"Where does it look like Cracker?" Volts said with an eye roll.

"What did you call me?"

"Cracker, cracker, crack crack, cracker," Volts said, mocking a stutter. It was clearly pissing Rivets off. "Oh calm your tits whitey. We'll do it but if you want to pitch a bitch you go talk to Gunny. Sea Team is back they get priority, you know that honky!" he added before acting like he was tossing his hair and strutting off like he was Ru Paul, he glanced back just long enough to stick his tongue out at the woman and then slamming the door.

It was about that time that the bell went off, signalling the end of third lunch and the start of fifth, and only half way covered the slew of grunts of curses Rivets let out before storming off herself. Mizrahi slowly inched himself out from under the truck he had been under and glanced around. Glad to see the woman was gone. He didn't want to get caught in that cross fire. Standing up he walked over to the work bench and sat down. He seemed to shake his head a bit before he started degreasing some tools that were laid out.

Hydroponic Garden (T): "Other than this place smells like horse shit, no," Atlas grumbled with a raspy voice to answer Thana's question. "'Bout made me not want to eat." The man paused before continuing. "Almost," he finally added before leaving his post now that Thana was back and the guy that was working with her was there as well. His job was done. The place did smell a little ripe but that was to be expected as it seemed that they had to use what they could get their hands on to keep things growing and as any good gardener knows one has to shovel a lot of manure to make things grow. The place didn't smell as bad as it could. At least the wind was moving decently enough to help carry some of the smell away, enough so it didn't just linger. Inside it didn't matter, it was hot and the smell of plants far out weighed anything else in there.

General Housing (X): Hunter was good so far when it came to caring for his dog and making sure that she wasn't under foot. Keeping her in his room and not letting her roam freely in the apartment when he wasn't there. He did share the apartment with four other guys that had items they had worked for and earned in the apartment and Hunter was the only one with a dog. That was a good start. Who knew, maybe once the guys got to know the dog she could be kept in the main area but this was starting off right. Outside however, he did forget to clean up her mess. So when he exits the apartment he will find a blonde woman standing there in scrubs about to knock.

"Oh hey, you must be the new guy," she said looking him up and down. "I'm Sheryl, the Vet," she added introducing herself. Glancing around she seemed to be taking note of something before looking back at Hunter. "Saw you taking Iz back inside so figuring that pile out there in the quad area is hers. Suggest you get it cleaned up before someone else spots it or that's a major violation around here," she warned as she pulled a bag out of her pocket and slapped it into his palm. Turning she started to walk off before spinning around on her heels. Still walking, this time backwards, "Should bring her out to playtime in the evenings, behind the vet building, 2000 hours, let her get play with the other dogs," she suggested before turning back around and running off back towards the direction of the vet building.

Thana quirked a brow at Atlas and then sighed a bit. "I think if ya weren't bitchin' 'bout somethang then you'd die," she quipped to Atlas's assessment of how the area around the gardens smelled. Far as she was concerned it smelled priceless. Things were growing, they had fruits and vegetables, it could smell like Rivets bathroom for all she would care as long as things kept growing. Too many things died in this world, if you could coax anything to grow it was a damn miracle and as Nigel had pointed out, this was pretty damn close to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

The thought of death hit a bit as she knew the Funeral time for the others were coming up. She wasn't going with them, otherwise she could have told Ash she would see him then than at dinner. She had already seen it, payed her respects to James and Gavin and the others. She was the reason they had been moved to the camp to be buried. Maybe she should have put in to go. Been there for Ash when he said a final goodbye to the others. No, she had work to do and a debt to pay. He could say goodbye without her, be there for the others from Newnan. Then again there were the others from Team Eden: Thalia, Alexander, Manny. They would be saying goodbye to others as well. Well Manny might not go, he didn't know the ones that died really. Barely seeing Gavin before he was killed and never seeing Lola as she was killed before he was found. Alexander probably would she suspected as he showed up with Lola and Thalia. And well, Thalia would have to go say goodbye to the Kiwi. Yeah, she might should have put in to go but she didn't, that debt was eating away at the back of her mind. Debt for this and for that, debt she was reminded off each time she saw someone from Newnan or Eden. Until that was taken care of she really couldn't take time for anything else.

Taking a deep breath Thana looked over towards Nigel as he asked her what was next. It snapped her out of her thought process and back on the here and now. "Actually, no. We're gonna close up the slats now, let the place start retaining as much heat as it can. After that's done, we're gonna take supplies down to the other garden," she said before she started on exactly what she had just mentioned. "Think ya might appreciate the other one. I means if ya like this one and all the other really puts this one to shame," Thana added as she moved down the line one one side of the green house. Setting the slats down wasn't hard, easier than getting them up in the morning. Was simple enough work and didn't take half the time it had that morning.

Dusting off her hands as the last one was pulled down into place on her side her head lifted up as she heard the crackle in the speakers. Third lunch was officially over now, forth was half way through, and fifth had just started. Ones the bell was done going off and the speaker went quiet again, Thana looked over to Nigel and had a little bit of a concerned look o her features. "Though it does pose a question," she started as she limped over to him and tilted her head to the side. "Can you swim?" she asked. It was a bit out of place but Thana had her reasons for asking, it was clear that she was going somewhere with this as she continued. "If ya can't that's alright, just let's me know how much equipment we need to take with us."

Shoving a bite full of food into her mouth, Nikki had to force her lips together as she chewed. Her eyes locking with Bass as he looked over to her. She kept chewing, her eyes looking off to one side and then down. Her foot tapping beneath the table as she counted off ten slow seconds before looking back in Bass's direction. Thankfully by the time she swallowed her bite Bass wasn't looking at her anymore and Amelia was now with her. That was a relief, it meant she wasn't alone anymore and that cut down on the chances of someone coming to bother her, or at least she hoped it would. She just wanted to eat her lunch and get back to work. "Basically she's givin' you a free be. You get to go through the clothing and such, find something to wear, and it's yers. Auntie will charge it to house or herself to cover it. Isn't every day she let's someone grab something, she must like you for some reason," Nikki said getting to the clothing question before circling back to what would be a longer explanation.

Turning her in seat slightly she half covered her face as she leaned on her elbow. "See the tall guy over there? Darker skin with the bright green eyes?" she said jerking her head in Bass's direction. "That's Ray, we kind of had a tumble last night. It wasn't clear exactly what she was saying but she quickly fixed that. "In bed. Was good but kicked him out of bed this morning. He wants more, I just want fun and fucking," she said rather bluntly before taking another bite of her lunch and straightening herself a bit. "Don't get me wrong. He's sweet, sexy as hell, and damn good all around but shit, I'm 20, ain't looking for anything romantic. Don't want that." Shoveling a bit more into her mouth she chewed and swallowed before continuing. "Nothing against anyone that does but fuck, I couldn't handle that shit Sparrow and what's his name went through. I ain't no epic quest bitch," she added.

Just as she was raising her fork for her next bite Nikki's hopes of being left alone by men during lunch was dashed as Hunter just walked right over. She sat there, mouth open, fork hovering as he unloaded his apology on her and then rushed out. She continued to sit there, even after he was out of the Mess Hall, dumbfounded by just what happened. It wasn't until her fork fell out of her hand and hit the tray that she snapped out of it. "What in the sugar free fuck just happened?" she asked the air before blinking. Slowly her head turned towards Amelia. "Did I near that right? He apologized for shit he doesn't know he is apologizing for while knowing he is being rushed and apologizing fer that? Ain't that like saying sorry while you back hand someone?" It wasn't that Nikki was really expecting an answer for what just happened, more like she was trying to wrap her head around it.

Shaking her head she picked up her fork and stabbed her food. "Wow... Forget that, I ain't some rush job! Man could have asked if I had a moment, could have asked to speak later, fucker needs some damn manners. You don't just interrupt people and think because yer apologizing it's cool. Fuck him," Nikki ranted before eating what she had just rekilled on her plate. Chewing she looked up and spotted Bass looking at her before heaving to leave himself, along with a lot of others to get moving before their lunch was over. "Avoid one get the other, gotta pick who is the lesser of two fucking evils," Nikki groaned after a bit.

Seemed Guy had spotted her, no it wasn't her he spotted. It was Amelia. Seemed he was going to say hello. She did however return the wave as he rushed off. The two of them weren't exactly tight. Taking another bite she chewed her food. Eyes darting up when the bell went off through the speakers. "We're half way through, we better hurry," Nikki said. Their lunch was now half way over and third lunch was officially over. That was good in her mind, it meant she wouldn't have to run into Hunter or Bass out on the streets as they would be working now. Then she remembered evening shift, she might.. Maybe she could avoid them. That could work. Right? Sure. Looking down at her plate she was surprised that she had actually eaten everything during her angry rant.

Nikki was about to say something when she spotted Riley coming in and getting a tray. "Hey, here, be back in Supply before the next bell, you got about twenty-five minutes, leave in fifteen to be safe or twenty to push it," she said as she slipped her watch off and laid it down next to Amelia's tray. Grinning she figured she'd give the two a few minutes alone. Rushing off, she bused her tray and headed out of the Mess Hall. Granted she was in no hurry. She had time, so she took it, strolling slowly towards Supply. Spotting Hank heading towards the Mess hall himself and then there was the couple with the kid now long behind him. She gave a little wave before making her way into supply itself.

Out of a box comes this... Well whatever this is...

See you stopped by, welcome to our little slice of insanity.

^{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}

For those that come from other communities before coming to Camp Mexico Beach some things are easier to get used to than others but this amount of people may take some getting used to. The Mess Hall is large enough for nearly everyone to be in there at once, this has been shown at breakfast and dinner where everyone seems to pile into the Mess Hall at the same time, minus a percentage that are most likely on guard duty and have to be rotated out. Then again Breakfast and Dinner last far longer, the Mess Hall is simply open for a couple of hours.

Lunch however seems to be far more organized. Like back in school when the teachers would lead groups of kids in single fire to collect their trays, sit down, eat quickly, and rush back to class. As much as people wanted it to be a major time for socializing it really wasn't. Time to get there, time to get your food, time to find a seat, time to eat, time to get gone. Not much time for anything else, which is becoming clear as one lunch goes to sit down another seems to be filing out. Sure they may have a few minutes left of lunch but it is clear that the rule of thumb is you don't leave for lunch until the bell and you better be back to work by the one signalling the end of your lunch. With that the bell rings signalling the end of second lunch, that third lunch is now half way through, forth lunch has begun. The time is now 1230.

Mechanics (K): Guy nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah, ain't that the truth but first thing I learnt here was all we's got is time until we ain't anymore. General's more about taking time and doin' it right than short cuts," Guy let Ash know. Part of that made sense. What were they going to do once the job was done? Another job? And another until their shift was over. Last time someone had gotten bored in Newnan a theft ended that triggered a series of very bad events. Work kept people busy and out of trouble. Let to ones own devices people tended to be stupid. Stealing, drinking, sleeping with the wrong blonde. Yeah, work was better.

"Hey, better one room than her moving this to another place in the camp. She ones threatened to start using the one in the Mess Hall... I say ya keep it contained," Guy said towards Hunter with a laugh but there was a hint of seriousness in his voice, as if he wasn't joking about what Rivets had threatened. "And nice to meet ya Hunter. Got yerself a good pair up here. Boss here's kept me going since this outbreak started," he added motioning towards Ash. Guys head turned towards Ash as he started saying who came in. He didn't recognize one of the names, Jamie... Who was Jamie? He'd ask later.

"Damn, that's more than I hoped fer. I came in with Medic and that was the only one I had seen fer ages," he said. He seemed to think of something but let it go. He didn't know if Thana was back or not, if Ash knew, he didn't want to drop that on the man if she hadn't. There was still a standing order as far as he knew. At the mention of Boss Guy started chuckling. "Hell, Boss as in yer a boss, not yer THE boss," he said with a shrug. "They ain't carin' about that shit, stickler fer rank and rules and regs, ain't ones that gotta worry about egos though. Down to earth really, once you get through the brass but ya know about that don't ya," Guy added, poking at Ash and his rank before CMB. "And yeah, gotta adapt, plus see less Walkers in the water, I'm fuckin' fine with that."

Supply (R): Things were going pretty smoothly there. Auntie came out from the back with a cart full of items. It looked to be mostly paper and folders and general office supplies. "Once you two get back from lunch make sure to get these divided up and over to the school and then over to Administration before getting to the other things on the lists today," she said before glancing towards Amelia for a minute before looking back towards Nikki. "And find her something to wear if she is going to the whole funeral thing this afternoon," she added before walking back to the back of supply again, leaving the cart behind for the two of them to deal with after lunch.

Mess Hall (C): Guy and Mizrahi both gave Thana a bit of a nod, Guy waving a bit before he and Mizrahi took a seat with Roy to eat. Well at least he knew now that Thana was back. No need to follow that order anymore. Roy was sitting there chewing on a piece of sushi when Guy made a face. "Don't, you caught it, it's good."

"Should eat it cooked," Guy said as he pointed to his Tuna casserole. Mizrahi was staying out of this debate, he was eating the tuna salad. No need for him to take sides as the two started debating out the better way to consume tuna.

Over at what was becoming the main table Joaquin smiled towards his sister. His smile was crooked before he spoke. "Story?" he asked. "Yes, a story. How I love to tell thee a story at this time. As I love you and can bear to tell you this story true, for as true as it was told to my ear. Listen and listen well my Angel..." he said as he slowly started to stand up. Of course he couldn't just say what she was waiting to hear, he had to make a scene... Shakespeare in the fucking Mess Hall.

"I at each moment pointeth in the right direction. Mine own instructions art writ in black and white. Disobey me and payeth the consequences. I shall nev'r sayeth m're than two w'rds at a timeth," he proclaimed in a way he thought was brilliant. While he thought it was, it was clear that many in the room weren't even paying attention. There was half a glance Tesla and Volts before they went back to their bickering about Swiss Family Robinson versus The King and I. After a moment Joaquin pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to her. On it was written: I always point in the right direction. My instructions are written in black and white. Disobey me and pay the consequences. I will never say more than two words at a time. When you know what I am, find me and you will be one step closer.

Grinning a tad more broadly he glanced towards Nigel. "On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures!" he exclaimed as he hit the table with the side of his fist. "Oh you are a tempstest true! We will have to duel words and swords my friend if thee should wish to engage!" he added with fervor. Joaquin was figuring he had just found a new friend.

People started getting up. Major was the first to make a move as she finished her tuna salad. Volts and Tesla were still arguing over the movies. Panama snatched a mushroom off Dusty's plate and ran over it as Dusty pouted. "HEY! My shroom..." he grumbled as he stood up and started to bus his tray, tugging his loose fitting pants back up over his hips as he went. Roy and Sheers were talking about Roy getting a trim later that evening after his shift was over as they bused their trays and headed out of the lunch room.

Bass looked up from his seat and glanced around as people started leaving. It wasn't long after that that the bell rang and forth lunch was beginning. Moralez came through the door and glanced around. "Hey, hey, hey,so many new faces!" he exclaimed. "And one back on his feet! Nice to see it," he added looking at Hunter before chuckling and heading over towards the food to get himself a tray.

Cook came out of the back and headed over towards where Cheers was sitting. "Hey, do you think I could put in a request?" she asked Cheers as she sat down across from the younger woman. Cheers, chewing her food, quirked a brow. "There was talk of one of the crews hitting up out west, they bring me back grapes can you do a balsamic?" she asked.

"Yeah, if they get me lambrusco or trebbiano grapes, others I won't waste my time with," Cheers added before taking a bite of her food.

"How the hell are they gonna know that?" Cook asked a bit taken a back it seemed.

"Have them take Sparrow, she knows that shit," Cheers said taking another bite.

"You know she isn't gonna leave camp unless she has too," Cook said motioning towards Ash.

"You want balsamic, gonna need one of those two," Cheers repeated before standing up and heading to bus her tray. She was obviously getting out of there before the conversation went further, still shoveling food into her mouth as she went. Nearly running into Chase and Auntie as they were heading in, the three barely missed colliding before Cheers was out the door.

There was a slight smile from Thana towards Alexander. "Nothing wrong with fingers," she said as she picked up another piece and ate it down. Granted sushi wasn't her favorite thing in the world but she had spent enough time over in Asia and it was a nice change, especially in this heat. She doubted after being in the green house she could deal with the casserole. She needed to cool off inside and out. Maybe she should have waited to eat that bite though because as she heard about the bowling trophy she nearly choked. "Wonder if it was dads," she laughed as she covered her mouth with the side of her fist to hide the food that was still in there. Chewing a bit more she looked over towards Nigel. "Dad ad Uncle Maddy love bowling... They took a page out of MASH and built an alley in the basement of the church..." she added before finally being able to swallow her bite fully.

Thana knew what was going on with Joaquin and what Thalia wanted to hear a story about. Or at least she thought she did. There was a little something she left for Thalia the night before and she was wondering just where the woman was with it. It seemed that she hadn't finished the first clue yet, that much was made clear as Joaquin went into full Shakespeare in the park. Or in this case, the Mess Hall. The thing was, what the man was doing was not what Thana asked him to do. Nor were it the right words. She asked him to hand over a slip of paper and as he started spouting off his version of her words she felt herself dropping her head into her hands and having to stifle back a groan.

Thana couldn't even manage to lift her head as Ash came over. Just nodding and moving her foot out of the chair next to her. She had been saving him a seat in hopes he would get there with at least a few minutes to spare before her and Nigel would need to leave. Slowly her head came up as Joaquin finished his soliloquies, she was about to chuck a chunk of tuna at the man but stopped right as he finally handed over the note to Thalia. Huffing slightly she looked over to Ash and gave him a thin lipped smile. "Hey," she said with a bit of a chuckle before shaking her head about the whole situation. Picking up another piece of her food she popped it into her mouth and leaned just slightly to the side so her shoulder touched Ash's. At least they had a few moments, granted looking down at her watch it wasn't long. Maybe five minutes before she would need to leave to give her enough time to get back to the Green House before her lunch was fully over and the bell rang.

Swallowing her bite she glanced back over to Ash. Sure he had washed off but sitting that close to him did let her know, even if she hadn't already, exactly what his job was. It sucked, Rivets restroom duty was never a good one. She had had it for a bit before she got transferred elsewhere. Everyone ended up having that job for at least a week, no matter who you were. She didn't want to bring it up but she did want Ash to know at least one thing about the task... "Won't ask how's the job, will just say there is worse," she let him know as she gave him an "I ain't even jokin'" look that would hopefully let him know she was dead serious about there being worse jobs in the place.

Thana looked around the room, seemed that Hunter was there and Manny and Lisa had made their way into the room as well as others. Hunter sat down with them but she wasn't sure where Lisa and Manny were going to sit. Glancing over towards Thalia, Thana couldn't help but smirk a bit as she wondered if she would figure it out. Or if Thalia would just end up chasing her around CMB demanding a straight answer. Turning her attention towards Alexander, Thana shook her head. "Yer stomach is gonna thank ya when you hit the heat and you have chilled sushi on it instead of that," she said pointing to Ash's plate. Shaking her head slightly she chuckled. "And with the duty you got? I hope yer stomach is as hearty as I hear that hallucinating one who sees the unicorns is... otherwise... well, yer gonna be in my prayers."

Looking down at her watch, Thana groaned before looking at Ash and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Gotta run, see ya at dinner," she said before looking at Nigel. "Gotta get back on the clock," she said showing her watch, it was around ten minutes until second lunch was over. Thana wasn't the only one standing up and busing their trays. The place seemed to be making its second mass exodus for the day and clearing way for when the bell rang again. Thana bused her tray before heading towards the door, her limp a bit more pronounced from sitting in the air conditioning for the last bit while she ate. Pushing the door open she glanced back over her shoulder and smiled towards where Ash was sitting before she was out the door.

Walking towards the Greenhouse again, she started going over things in her head. She would need to relive Atlas at the greenhouse and then start the closing up. Normally she would leave it up until later in the day but she had work to do down at the underwater gardens beneath the pier today. So best to close up, lock up, and let Atlas get going so he could get something to eat before all the lunches were over or things got to be sitting out for too long. Last lunch was always the worst, it was whatever others didn't get to, what choices people skipped over. Not that it was bad, just you didn't get the options. Why the place rotated out lunch shifts every so often.

Getting back to the green house Thana headed over to Atlas to see how things went while she was gone. She doubted there was going to be any issues but she wanted to be sure. Especially with her having a new person on hand like she had with Nigel. If something was wrong she wanted to be able to show him so he would know. So far he had been working out well as her help for the week. She hadn't been sure when she was told he was going to be working with her but seemed it was all working out, granted it was only day one, there were many more to come. "Hey Atlas, anything to report?" she asked as she got back to the greenhouse.

Nikola Warren Location: Supply (R) -> Mess Hall (C) Skills: N/A

Quirking a brow, Nikki stopped for a second before laughing to herself. "No not bad, glad to know it," she said before adding, "but when I got Auntie up my ass to stay on schedule and Chase starts in on a two hour rant about she spotted nimbostratus out in Kansas six years ago, then you're in trouble." To Nikki it was good to know but not at the cost of getting her ass reamed by her supervisor. "Anyways, this is the south - so heat, humidity, tornadoes, hurricanes are pretty much daily. If she's gonna tell me about snow, then damn, I'll fork over a pack of juicy fruit and listen all night," she laughed. She liked the idea of snow. Granted she had seen snow before when she was younger but not really since. Florida wasn't exactly known for snow.

Back in the Supply Nikki glanced over to what Amelia was doing and nodded. "Yeah, you got it," she said before popping a bubble with her gum. "See not that hard. Just time consuming," she added as she got back to writing. None of this seemed really complicated. It was all simple enough. Go get lists from specific people through out the camp, come back, get off each list what supplies they need from which areas in supply, then just fill the orders and mark it down to show which area of the camp is using what. A lot of paper work and numbers but from the looks of things one could tell what was going on where just by looking at what was going on in supply. Or maybe they just liked making lists.

Nikki looked up as Auntie came out. Glancing towards the cart she nodded. "I swear I don't know who the hell goes through paper faster - the preschool or Gunny..." she quipped before blowing a bubble with her gum and letting it pop. At the mention of clothing for Amelia to wear to the funeral thing Nikki's eyes widened a bit. She didn't say anything, simply nodded towards Auntie and watched her walk back into the back. "Well fuck me sideways... She has a heart," Nikki said a bit astounded before chuckling and glancing towards Amelia. "Looks like you get to go clothes shopping after lunch," she laughed. It was a few things for them to do before Amelia headed out to pay respects if she was going to. A lot to do, little time to do it.

Either way, didn't matter now as the bell went off and Nikki dropped her pencil right on her stack. "That's lunch! Let's hurry so we ain't gotta wait in line long," Nikki said as she was already scrambling over the counter and making a break for the door. The girl was mid sprint by the time she was on the other side of the door. One would think that she might have to dodge people leaving the lunch room but not really. The lunch that ended at the bell had already left and was ready to get back to work.

Rushing into the Mess Hall, Nikki came to a sliding stop on her heels. Her eyes scanning the room to see who was sitting where. This was the first lunch with all the new people. She didn't spot Thana, the roman dude, or either of the new ones that were missing limbs. Shealsodidn't see the Dancersand her family or the rock star, or the hetero-lifemates, or one or two others but then she did start spotting new people. The older dude was with Lisa. Thana's main man was there, then there was Hunter... That was, maybe she should have checked the assignments before she came rushing in.

Pulling her gum out of her mouth she folded it back up in its wrapper and shoved it in her pocket before moving over to the line. She was one of the first for this round and was happy to be able to still get to pick. Seeing the sushi she turned up her nose. The casserole wasn't exactly what she wanted either. God what she would give for some chicken nuggets and honey mustard from Wendy's... Sighing she grabbed the salad and started looking around. She spotted Bass. "Shit..." she muttered under her breath before stalking to a seat that looked to be a little more apart from the others and waiving Amelia over if she wanted to join. If not she was just gonna shovel and run.

I wanted to say hello :)

Welcome to our little slice of insanity. It's a good place to jump back into things. (I know, been there done that.)
