Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

Hospital/Medical (B): Mary pursed her lips and there was a grunt from her mouth as she shook her head. "Naw," she said as she finished looking over some paper work. Signing off on a few things she set the clip board down and the sound of her pen clicking could be heard as she tucked it back into the front pocket of her scrubs. "Actually today you're gonna finally put that book learning to work," she said as she motioned for Lisa to follow her.

As they started walking Mary started to explain more. "You've been studying Chemistry and that's good plus you have some decent knowledge of traditional medicine. So we're gonna start with something basic so you can get a hand in things and produce something valuable for the camp. Today you are going to start the basic strains to make penicillin," she said as she lead Lisa back downstairs. Lisa and Manny had been cleaning one lab but there was another only Mary and the doc went into. It was where the actual medicine was made and held. Under strict lock and key. This would be Lisa's first time in there.

Getting to the door Mary looked at Lisa. "You fuck up, betray us, anything, Maddog will shoot you," she stated flatly. It was a pretty common thing in the Camp. It was known if someone stabbed the camp in the back it meant death. Sure there would be a tribunal but the guilty didn't get back out of the walls. Treason was met with death. Not that Mary actually thought Lisa was a threat. If she thought that she wouldn't be letting Lisa near this, it wouldn't have been approved by the higher ups. Lisa got cleared for this, that was big.

Unlocking the door, it was more of a hallway than a room. There were clean suits hanging up on the walls and masks. "Put those on and then we'll go in. Not fully a clean room but as close as we could get," she explained as she started to suit up herself.

Mess Hall (C): Everything went silent for a moment. "Coming!" one could hear Cook yell from the back, followed up by, "don't think we're even close to being done with this," she said before coming out. Cleaning her hands off on the work apron around her waist she smiled. "Oh good to see you," she said she said to Thana and then glanced over at Nigel as Moralez came out as well. "And you too, hope the first day is going well," she added as she took the clipboard and started to go over what was brought up from the pier.

"Oh my my my, look at all this! Oh we can do some things with this, yes we can," Moralez said as he looked into the various buckets and containers. "Something NOT sweet," he teased.

"I will crack your skull with my ladle..." Cook warned. It only made the man chuckle.

"Aww I love you too Mae," he giggled. Cook gave him a look that made him laugh harder but at the same time retreat and head right back to the kitchen itself.

"This looks good, could you take it to the back of the kitchen and leave the cart by the prep sink?" Cook asked Nigel.

The back of the Mess Hall was the kitchen, there were several large ovens stacked, walk in and freezer, sinks, stacks of supplies and canned goods, stove stops, dishes, pans, pots, baking sheets. The place was well stocked and organized. There was a large open area with an island that had a sink. Moralez was there cutting onions with a large tub of just cut jalepeno's there. It was enough to make ones eyes water and sting quickly. It didn't seem to phase the man. Fit check - fail eyes start crying.

Assembly (P): Looking over at Manny the padre motioned towards the north end of Camp Mexico Beach and waved his hand slightly. "Just on the other side of the wall actually. It's just outside the walls so we gotta be careful," he explained. It wasn't a long ride but it did mean people were going to be outside of the walls and that meant they had to be extra precautions, especially when it came to new people. Part of it was because of the walkers, part of it was something more.

Taking a head count, it seemed that everyone was now there or just about. Padre turned his attention to Ash right then. "A bit but not everyday you get to let people say goodbye in this world, so when we can it means as much to use as it does to you but hey, you're welcome," he said to Ash. Last Rites were something that were particularly important to Atticus, this was like that he figured for others. Granted it wasn't often they had new people show up that knew people already buried in their grave yard but then again, Thana had insisted and he knew how much debt the woman had placed herself in having the bodies brought back. Not that anyone within this group actually knew that. He doubted she told anyone, she was a rather personal person and didn't speak much about things she did.

Joaquin gave a crooked grin as he spotted his sister. He had heard that she would most likely be coming along for this and he had read the report from Thana about what happened in Eden. The woman known as Lola seemed like a colorful person he wished he could have known. It wasn't like Thalia to really get close to people, at least from what he could remember of her. Then again, they hadn't been the closest of siblings either. "Si. Si alguna vez hubo un momento en que deberíamos estar en lo cierto, este sería mi Ángel."

Now that the head count was done, Atticus motioned towards the bus. "Alright, this is pretty simple. We will be boarding the bus and moving to the Graveyard located just north of the walls. You will have thirty minutes once we arrive and unload to pay your respects to the departed, as long as nothing goes wrong. If you would like me to say a few words over them I will, know they were given full last rites at time of their burial. We will go over more once on the bus but for now, please load up and find a seat," he said as Bass stepped out of the way so people could get on the bus.

Joaquin and Bass both adjusted the straps to the large bags they were carrying and Daytona slipped on her sun glasses as Padre unholstered his sidearm and checked his clip. His eyes went to Amelia for a moment and he grinned slightly. "Don't worry, things will be alright," he said as Jack and Tati boarded the bus and took a seat towards the middle of it. The couple seemed to be on high alert but that was to be expected.

Supply (R): Dolittle let out a breath of relief. "Thank you," she said as she handed over the leash to Nikki. "Listen, if Lisa isn't okay with it, just bring Izi back to the shelter tonight but would prefer her have a place to be calm in," the vet explained before she headed out of the door and started to go back to where she worked. She had other animals to tend to. She wasn't worried about Nikki, Nikki helped out a lot there and she had helped with this dog before so she was the best choice.

Streets of CMB (O4 -> M2): Maddoc turned his head and looked at Hunter, a small trail of smoke trailing up from the cherried ember of the cigar held between his teeth. "I said what I said, either you believe me or you don't. I ain't repeating myself," he said rather gruffly. A slight sigh could be heard from Roy as he kept a hand on Hunter and lead him further down the streets.

The two kept leading Hunter down the street. Standing outside of a building with steam rising from some sky lights in the roof was the woman who had served Hunter, and everyone else, the drinks the night before. Her hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail and she had a leather apron on over her clothing. The smell of alcohol was strong in the air around the building as they passed, enough to make ones eyes water if they were to stay there too long and weren't used to it. A handrolled cigarette was in her hand, coming to her lips as she took a puff as she watched them go down the street even further. Her eyes stayed on Hunter as they kept walking and she was still watching as they rounded the corner and she was out of sight again.

Thana nodded slightly. "Yeah pretty sure that is when we started considerin' ancestors evolved, funeral customs," Thana said thinking back to history lessons in high school and college. Thana wasn't sure she agreed with that. People could be evolved and not do anything to put the dead to rest. Plenty of times they had had to leave people behind during this time since the outbreak but it didn't mean she didn't think it was important. It was important, that was why the bodies had been brought back. Saying goodbye was important, having a place was important. It wasn't essential but it was needed. A graveyard to her was like an art piece. One could live without it but having it made living easier.

There was a chuckle from Thana as she heard Cook from the back. There was a lot she still needed to learn about the people of the town but some things were more obvious and didn't need a lot of time to notice. One was Mae's passion for cooking and food. Glancing towards Nigel she smirked. "Don't tell her that," she warned as Cook came out from the back. Handing over she let Cook and Moralez do their thing and take a look. Thana was glad the way things were coming along but she knew it was going to be probably years from now before the underwater gardens really started to pay off and sustain the place.

Would they even still be alive and running then? It was a depressing thought but Thana had seen more than one long term place take a hit and vanish from the world. The first had been where she had held up for a while. The sub was a good place but there was no room to grow things, to try to expand. It was a good hold up place but not a long term solution. It was why she had left, it was why she never saw it again. Then there was Newnan. She had only been there a day when all hell broke out and the ground opened up and took the place off the map like a Walkerfied Sunnydale.

Hearing Cook give some instructions, or more so a request towards Nigel she looked over to the man. "Straight back, on the left," Thana added. She figured the man could handle wheeling a cart to the back without much instruction. Reaching down she rubbed her thigh slightly. It was twinging right then. Looking down at her watch she let out a slow breath. They still had a bit to do for the day. She wasn't normally one glad to stop working but now that she was back in town, Ash was there, things were calm she found herself craving downtime in a way she hadn't previously in her life.

Taking the lead Nikki nodded. "Sure thing," she said as she took a seat on the floor and kept petting the dog. Nikki had to admit that she liked the dog, probably better than the dogs actual owner. At least right then. Nikki had to wonder what all went down but if the dog had been removed Nikki knew it would get around town fast enough. Nothing traveled faster than small town gossip. It, like cockroaches, didn't die off after the apocalypse.

Scratching behind the dogs ear she watched Dolittle leave and gave a small wave before turning her attention back to Izi. "Hopefully Lisa won't mind you staying with us tonight," Nikki said in a sweet voice. She knew she had to get back to work but hey she had a dog now to take care of. What she was going to do with the dog while she worked she had no clue but she figured that it wouldn't matter if she stayed with her right then. At least until Auntie got back and she could get the clear to leave for a few to take the dog back to her place.

Standing up, she took the leash and lead Izi into the back. She did have work to do and she needed to get to it whether she liked it or not. Amelia was going to be gone for a bit and then there was dinner. It was probably best to try to just go ahead and knock everything out and get the carts all loaded up before dinner. Nikki knew what to do and figured if she busted her ass she could get it done and over with by the dinner bell. That was as long as nothing else came up.

Now, the time hasn't been fully lined up as of yet but by the end of this round consider things all back to normal. (Well as normal as we get in this rp but you get what I am saying.

Hospital/Medical (B): *Note: Alexander and Thalia going to the hospital will not be seen by others in the RP. ~*~ Out on the streets of Administration all is clear. They roll over to the hospital will go without issue and Doc is inside with Mary discussing something. When the crew gets inside Doc will take over for Medic after Medic gives a run down of what is going on. "Better than when Dusty slipped last time, his located his shoulder," Doc said in an attempt to make things seem less serious.

Medic rolls his eyes a bit. "The man slipped in mashed potatoes and gravy trying to get thirds on Easter, he ended up taking out a whole ham and bowl of jell-o in the process!" Medic added filling in a bit more of the story. Alexander will be rolled into the X-Ray room down the hallway as Mary starts filling out paper work. The X-Rays will go fine, Thalia can stay with Alexander or not during this time. They won't have a problem either way. In the end, Alexander will have a bruised butt but nothing broken or cracked. Doc will warn that he will be sore tomorrow and to stop in for aspirin if it is too much. Other than that, you are good. (Thalia and Alexander's time is a bit different than the rest but they will be back on time with the rest and be able to show up at Assembly by the end of this round.)

Now, back to Lisa - Mary will be back at the reception area filling out paper work about the time that Lisa is able to show up to see what she needs to do next. She will be able to catch a glimpse of Alexander and Thalia leaving the hospital at that time. Medic is sitting down in a chair rubbing his face a bit before filling out some paper work on his own. Doc is coming up with the X-rays from earlier and hands them over to Mary. "He's good, but if he needs anything for pain tomorrow OTC should do fine unless something develops," he tells her and she makes a note of it in the paperwork.

Mess Hall (C): As the two enter the place looks empty. The main area of the Mess Hall is empty. But the building isn't. There are sounds and voices in the back of the place wafting out as well as the smell of food cooking. One can easily hear Cook and the Goat talking in the back, arguing about if cornbread should be sweet or not.

Officer Housing (N): Things are calm in the building. There are a few officers in the hallways, moving from one point to another. They will nod or mouth a hello if they pass Ash in the hallways. Other than that, nothing else happens. Ash will get to Assembly without issue by end of this round.

Assembly (P): Coming up from the direction of the church is the Padre. With him is Riley and Tatiana. (Riv you control Riley now as an every so often NPC to use to fill in story for Amelia when needed, so you can decide if she will be coming to the funeral or not. Didn't know for sure, figured this was the easiest.) Reaching the Assembly area Padre nods a bit. Tatiana looks rather shut down right now, her face cold and her eyes darting around. Jack comes jogging up to Tati and lets her know that Jamie is in the daycare for now. Seems the two decided to not take Jamie to James' grave today. Not until they see how it goes and how safe it is.

"Once everyone gets here we'll go over everything and then head out," Atticus says before flipping open his bible and thumbing through it a bit, he gives Amelia a little smile before looking back at the book. He wasn't going to bring up what she was carrying. She looked a little out of it but that was to be expected right then. People were getting together to say goodbye. The sound of a larger vehicle can be heard and the bus that first brought everyone in is driven up by Daytona. The door swings up two men exit. One is Bass and the other is Joaquin. They are both armed and carrying a dufflebag each on their shoulder. Atticus looks over to them. "Everything in order?" she asked before glancing at Manny and the others there.

Before Joaquin can open his mouth Bass answers. "Yeah, cleared the yard. Ev'rthan' is locked down as it can be," Bass said in his deep southern voice.

Supply (R): DoLittle looked over to Nikki and sighed. "Kid got into trouble. Forgot to clean up after the dog. I reminded him and he went back to clean it up. Wasn't going to report it but then got a radio from Gunny to remove the dog. Don't know what happened but must have been something..." Dolittle said. "I only got half of what happened to Gunny on the radio but gotta go fill in a report fully now." She didn't look happy about it.

She glanced over towards Amelia as she left before looking back at Nikki. "Need a foster home for her. At least until tomorrow. Think you and Lisa can take her in?"

Streets of CMB (L5 - O4): Things are very quiet right now between the three. Maddoc is grumbling as he chews on his cigar. Roy isn't saying or doing anything. The two of them just keep leading Hunter down the streets of CMB. There are people that are looking on but they don't follow or keep their attention there too long. Turning down another road, Hunter is lead away from the main area of the Camp, to the north side of the camp instead of the main area of south-side where most everything seems to be. It was part of the tour but there wasn't much pointed out save for distillation and fuel and the loading ramp. It was the more abandoned part of town.

Thana nodded towards Ash as he left. Part of her wanted to go with him, to be there for him during this but she didn't want to go back to the graveyard, ever. She had been there when the bodies were brought back. She had to identify the remains of each of them to ensure the right person got buried where and had the proper marker. She would forever remember the way they looked as they were brought back, after a year of decay and rotting, two of them had turned and she still couldn't get that image out of her head. To Thana the graveyard and those headstones left her remembering them that way. No, she wanted what memories she had of Gavin and James to be of them alive as much as it could be. Even Lola and Ryan, people she hadn't really known but had met or fought with, she wanted to remember them alive, not what she saw.

After a moment Thana visibly shuddered before looking back over to Nigel. "A'right, let's get this done," she said before turning and heading back towards the Mess Hall. There was the issue of Hunter being led off but after her little trip down Disturbed Memory Lane she wasn't even thinking about the kid right then. She figured whatever it was she would either be briefed later if it concerned her or not if it didn't. She wasn't going to stress it. The community had ways of doing things so whatever it was it would be worked out.

Then it dawned on her that Nigel had said something. She had to stop and nod. "Yeah, several, a while ago. Two when Newnan fell, two when we took Eden. Some that came in with ya hadn't had a chance to say goodbye. They will today. I can't do it again..." Thana said before looking down. "Damn shame they're gone. One was a Texas Ranger, probably the best man I e'er known," she added before taking a deep breath and walking again. She might have been in love with Ash but Gavin would always hold a special place in her heart for both good and bad reasons.

Pushing open the door of the Mess Hall she held it open for Nigel so he could push the cart in. "Cook, got them dailies!" she called out in the empty room. Her voice echoing and she hoped carrying to the back where the actual cooking was done.

Nikki liked the idea of getting Lisa in on this to catch the mouse. It was a smart thing but she wondered if they made something akin to the old board game mouse trap if it would really work life sized. Then again the board game probably was lift sized when it came to the actual mouse. Either way, it was something she would want to talk to Lisa about. At least it would fill in some time to plan out and build and well she figured if Lisa couldn't get out of the walls right now to do it to Walkers she could have some fun planning mini models to see how well it would go over before going full scale. Hell Tesla might want to get in on it.

Looking at Dolittle though Nikki's thoughts were derailed. "I don't know but after last night and then earlier I'm wonderin' about that guy," Nikki said before looking over at Amelia. She quirked a brow and was about to ask what was up but the girl was gone and looked like she really needed to get the hell out of there. Looking back at DoLittle she shrugged. She could ask Amelia about that whole thing when she got back. Nikki wasn't privy to what was in everyone's files like Thana was so she had no idea about most of what was going on with all these new people that had just come into camp.

Then cam the request. "Shit I'd love to! Don't know about Lisa but well, shit, it's just tonight? I'll ask at dinner but for now I'll take her," Nikki said as she came out from behind the counter and knelt down in front of the dog. Scratching behind her ears and smiling as she popped a bubble with her gum. She had been the main one to take care of Hunters best friend during quarantine so it was only fitting she would be the one to look after her now.

Notes: Okay, gonna start moving things towards the funeral now. So that time thing might get wonky as people get finished up. Those attending the funeral make sure to refer to post to know if your character gets cleared to show up at the meeting point. Should be cleared for everyone to but make sure to remember how long each character had to prepare and get ready before being allowed to leave from work to get there. Ash went last round because he had nearly an hour to get prepped. Rest had much less time. So go back, check the older posts if you don't have it written down and act accordingly. Also, if you need to, go back through the posts to remember where the meet up point is.

Those playing more than one character - Watch yourself. Seeing bleeding of thoughts from one character to another. (As if they have some magical insight about what might be going on with another - This is considered a Meta and Godmod so be careful.)

Administration (A): Gunny nodded but didn't say anything. Roy however did. "The X.O. is a walking Human Lie Detector. Worked NCIS and specialized in interrogation before this shit storm. Why he is where he is," Roy explained as Maddoc chewed on his cigar.

"Kid, shut the fuck up," Maddoc finally said as Roy cuffed him and the kid made a comment. "Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash..."

"Checkpoint 2.0..." Roy added as he placed a firm hand on the kids shoulder as his other remained on Hunters cuffed hands.

"You will be in lockup until we convince a tribunal. That will take 24-72 hours to clear schedules. Until then, it's solitary other than your guards," Gunny finally said before gesturing with his head to get the man out of his office.

"That sorry was a little late kid, last ditch don't count for shit in this place," Ray sad as he turned Hunter and started walking him. Maddoc turned and flung the door open and stepped into the hallway. Roy lead the man out into the hallway, waiting for Maddoc to shut the door and take the lead.

Downstairs things were going better. At least partially. "Yeah, Medic works for me. And I am pretty sure General was a more forced thing. Story goes they called him Dragon, old day Army name but General ended up being what he accepted. Something about Dragon never sat right with him, don't know why." There was a slight shrug from Medic.

"Dude! Don't want ya moving until we get the stretcher," he said but sighed as Alexander moved. He had said he didn't want him moving before but some people did what they wanted when they wanted. Granted he couldn't really blame the guy, it was wet and from what Alexander was saying, he felt fine but still.

Letting out a short breath Medic nodded. "Rolo is a bit of a handful but she don't mean nothin'. But the show itself ain't half bad. I mean it isn't any Fresh Prince but still," he said with a chuckle before looking towards the door as the girls came back. "Thank you," he said to the both of them before taking over and putting the lock on the wheels. Then he remembered the stairs. "Shit.. Okay, wait," he said before peaking his head out into the hallway. "Rolo, got your keys?"

"Oh no! I ain't gettin' in trouble!"

"General said emergency only, man down is that, fork them over sugar before I wrestle them out of you," he said. She groaned but handed them over. "Alright on the gurney," he said to Alexander and held out both arms to help the man get on. Once he was, he motioned for Thalia to take the front and steer. It would only take one hand. "Down the hall to the right this time. End, then unlock the door. Another hallway, to an elevator."

Thalia can bunny from this point Rolo and Medic to push to the elevator and upstairs. It will put you out behind the Generals office. The group will make it to the outside of Admin by end of this round. (Will not see Hunter down the street.) Suggest Sigil and Onl get together and talk out any specifics. The two obviously will not get to the take off point this round.

Water Repair Shop (G): You two are done and can move out this round. You will be able to make it back to the hospital this round and put things away. Before you do though, Lisa will slip on some wet on the boat, roll against Dex. If you pass she catches herself without problem. If she fails, it is a simple ass busting and she will be able to get back up afterward, with wet pants mind you, and head out. Back in the hospital, Manny will need a roll on the Minor Fear Table. No matter the result Manny is good to leave the Hospital when the time comes and get ready for the funeral and get there by end of this point. Lisa is all clear in the basement and getting things put away this round. Once she is done with that, she will know to locate Mary to see what now.

Supply (R): Things are going good now in supply. Things are calm and the mouse has vanished into whatever hole he crawled out of. After a few DoLittle, who took the back streets to supply and wouldn't be seen by the others, walks into to Supply and rings the front bell. "Nikki! You in here?" she called out.

Amelia will be able to leave this round and get to the meet up point. She would not notice Hunter down the road on her way from Supply to the meet up point.

Streets of CMB (I4 -> L5): Heading out of Administration they started walking down the main road East. "Your file stated you were fuckin' military. You know the basic kid, you know the punishment for dereliction of duty. You keep smiling, joking, running your fucking mouth. I don't think I can help you anymore kid. Don't even know if your worth it. You said you'd do anything to keep your dog and you couldn't even be on time to work. That makes you a liar and a man who doesn't keep his word. This is on you, there's no going back now."

Ash will be able to get from where he is inside, showered this round, he will not get to the meeting point this round.

Thana chuckled a bit and nodded. Mars seems fittin', that's fer sure. And I prefer that to Sportacus," Thana admitted. She did and this whole old gods talk was kind of nice. Made her want to hit the library later and see what they had. She hadn't taken time to read in so long, besides paperwork. "God I need to hit the library later tonight, see if'n I can find anythin'. Wanna read up more now," she said before glancing over to Nigel for a moment.

"And nah, pretty common these days I would think, at least when ya wanna do things silently. Prefer guns only if'n I gotta," she said agreeing. Granted Thana didn't know how to wield a sword but she was damn good with a knife and hand to hand. Perhaps sword fighting would be something she could get into. Let her spend some times with Thalia and let the two catch up in a way they worked best for them. Fighting. It was how they first bonded, taking Eden out. She had lost Gavin that day, Thalia had lost Lola, but the two became friends over time. It worked. Neither were replacements but it was good to have someone new when you lost someone.

Thana caught Ash calling and smiled seeing him. That was until he stopped and she understood why. She took a step back and laughed. "Yeah, keep yer ass on that side of the road until you wash. Damn... Fergot how bad that duty was," she said before looking over at Nigel. "Thinkin' you lucked out getting' duty with me instead of that," she said motioning over towards Ash. She was about to say more when something else caught her eye.

Turning her head she spotted her uncle and behind him Roy. It wasn't until Maddoc stepped slightly to the side that she spotted Hunter. "What in the sugar free fuck did he do already...." Thana grumbled under her breath. She hadn't expected the kid to last and had been on the fence about him joining camp but she hadn't expected cuffs the first day. "Thinkin' we should get movin'," Thana said before looking at Ash. "I'll see ya after the service," she said before starting to walk again.

Nikki quirked a brow and shook her head. "God no, he ain't my pet," Nikki said quickly before snap popping her gum within her mouth and against her cheeks before continuing, pointing in the general direction where the mouse scampered off to. "Little bastard showed up a while ago, we set traps, everything. he keeps avoiding them or setting them off without getting hurt. Then just shows up out of now where. Ended up calling him that after that damn mouse on the movie The Green Mile. You know, the one with Tom Hanks in that prison," she added before grumbling. "I'll catch that damn thing one day."

Looking back at Amelia she laughed. "Hell yeah, tag team that damn mouse and maybe actually catch it. Who knows, maybe Lisa can set up one of her Deader Traps on the small scale. At least that would be entertaining," she said with a chuckle. She liked the idea. She also like the idea of not getting in trouble for not getting their job done. "Right, back at it."

Things from that point went pretty smooth. No sign of the mouse. That was good and nothing else was crawling out. Hearing the front bell and then a shout out Nikki quirked a brow. "Wonder what she wants," she said as she set down what she was doing and dusted her hands off on her jeans before walking towards the front. Coming out and spotting the dog, Nikki had an idea. "Oh shit what happened?" she asked as she leaned against the counter.

Administration (A): Gunny sat there and listened to Hunter vent his frustration. The man seemed unphased by what he was saying. But at certain points his eyebrow would twitch. He had been made aware of the interview Maddoc had had with Hunter. It hadn't gone well. In fact the interview along with how Hunter acted in quarantine was why Gunny was against Hunter staying. Maddoc had put up an argument, much like he had for Nikki. The allowance was granted but with stiff regulations. Part of that being therapy. The other part was Gunny was aware it was made full and clear that no matter what happened the dog would remain within the town whether or not Hunter was here. Once Hunter was done, Gunny glanced towards the door as a knock came. "Come in."

The door opened and it was Roy, with Maddoc standing behind him. They both entered. Roy glanced around and didn't say anything. One could feel the tension in the air. Maddoc however wasn't as quiet about it. Looking at his younger brother the man started speaking, the language wasn't a common one even before the apocalypse. It sounds more like drunken Irish gibberish than anything else but Gunny seemed to understand and the two started to exchange words. Roy took a step back. Gunny words seemed to be reserved and short in any language, Maddoc was getting fired up.

Gunny placed his hands on the desk and stood. "Enough." One word, delivered simply and without inflection. Maddoc growled but shut up finally. Turning his head he looked at Hunter. "This has nothing to do with making people fall in line, it has to do with an agreement. Being part of this community means you understand it is military. Being former National Guard you know full and well what being lax in duty means. It means the first thing to go is special privileges. A dog is special privileges. Not everyone has one, not everyone is allowed one, they take up resources. They are a privilege. You losing said privilege is on you and no one else. It has nothing to do with emotional attachment."

The man was about to continue when a radio call came in. "Gunny DoLittle, have the dog and am moving to a foster home." Gunny picked up the radio. "I don't know why the removal but I knew I should have made a report..."

"Continue," Gunny said into the radio.

"Failure to clean up after the dog, had to call him back on it during lunch," she informed Gunny, and the room in the process. Maddoc's head jerked to the side and he glared at Hunter.

"Thank you, out," Gunny said before setting the radio down. Taking his pen he made another notation in Hunters file. "That right there alone is enough to have the dog taken away. If you cannot care for a companion properly you are not allowed on." Looking back at Hunter as he set his pen down. "You are on day 1 in Camp. Probation, day 1. Your file is filled already with marks against your attitude. You have yet to speak with most within the community or those that entered with you with any ounce of respect, courtesy, or common sense. You are curl spoken, judgemental, and refusing to see any of your own personal faults. I have a note here about having a problem with being told you would be shot." Stopping he looked down to double check before looking back at Hunter. "At least we are honest, I see you eyes, I know that look. You plan and think about harming people. We just let you know what will happen if you try to harm us. You are the far bigger threat."

Closing Hunters folder Gunny sat back down. "The dog was a privilege. You being in these walls was a privilege. You have no earned your place as others have. Years building a community that thrives the way it does. Despite others concerns about your attitude a special recommendation was made for you. One that is being reconsidered now due to your constant issues. Drunken disorderly, dereliction of duty, excessive vulgarity, waste of community resources, and more. One, two, three, four, five breaches of protocol and more, all within the last twenty four hours. One problem, yes we would have talked. Two problems, more duty added. But all this? No, this I will no abide."

Roy knew where this was going, he was already moving behind Hunter and not trying to hide it. Maddoc at this point was chewing on cigar and had his face in his hand. "I here by recommend that you Hunter Monroe are exiled from the community. This is not a decision but a recommendation. It will be presented to your work seniors, should they agree it will go before the CMB council, then Maddog and myself before being presented to the General. You will have a chance to defend yourself or plead your chase at the tribunal. For now, you will be placed in holding. Roy take him into custody."

Letting out a short breath Roy nodded and pulled his handcuff out. He didn't say anything. Maddoc did however as he cast a glance towards Hunter. "I wouldn't try anything kid..." Maddoc warned as Roy went to put the cuffs on.

"Hell of a way to get out of cleaning Rivets Restroom," Roy finally said. In truth Roy wondered if exile was the better of the two options.

Downstairs in the basement, the man that busted his ass and lost his leg seems to be having a lot better time with things than Hunter it. Medic nods a bit. "Yeah, you got it right. Odd hearing it again after all this time," he said as he picked a bit at his pants with one hand and rubbed the back of his neck with the other.

Glancing at the door he shrugged. "I hope so but who knows. Rolodex isn't exactly the Hospital's favorite person right now," he started and then sighed with a bit of a chuckle as he started to explain. "You see, last time she borrowed a gurney she, well, she decided to reenact a scene from MASH, the show from the seventies and eighties. So there was this gurney race down the main street right outside. She got like a dozen people in on it. And everything was going great until there was this crash, into the General's golf cart, and well, injuries. Since then Mary has loathed that woman with a capital L."

Hospital (B): "Yes really," Mary said frankly before listening to what Thalia had to say. After hearing she pointed over to the wall where several were lined up. "Don't scratch it," she said before looking over towards Rolodex. "And it better come back here with him on it and not you driving," she warned.

"Wouldn't think of it darlin'," she said in a overly sugary sweet voice before moving over towards the gurney to grab it. (At this point Rolodex will help Thalia move the gurney, rolls have been made, the two will be able to get it back to Alexander by the end of this round. You may take control of Rolo and bunny her as needed to help with this and make the post go smoother for this round alone.)

Water Repair Shop (G): Way to go people, everything is going along better than expected. Lisa will not need to make another roll for her skill this round. Both her and Manny will just finish up the medical room on the boat this round, at the very end of your post that is. (You won't have time to leave the water repair shop this round.) Next round we will move on, for now, finish up and get the carts loaded to move out so you can get the dirty out of there. Well done! The rolls were in your favor.

Mechanics (K): Looking over what Maddoc had left, Mizrahi wasn't paying a lot of attention to Ash. That was until Ash spoke. His head went up and he nodded. "I check," he said as he started walking over there. He had to, if it wasn't done right and Ash was cleared that was on him. Stepping in he glanced around, seemed the place was done. "Good," he said as he took the clipboard off the wall between the two bathrooms and signed off on Ash's work for the mens. Looking at the womens he grunted. "If not back soon, you must finish," he told Ash as he hung up the board.

At the question he motioned for Ash to follow him. "The Mill," he said as he stepped outside and pointed off to the south east. "Settlement in old paper mill. Trade with," he told Ash before checking his watch. "You, clean up, funeral," he said. "Check back in when back." It was about that time and Rivets had allotted Ash more time than most to get ready for the funeral. Granted, she better have considering the job he was assigned.

Supply (R): Thankfully other than the mouse nothing else seems to be crawling out of the woodwork. Everything else is calm and no one is coming in to bother you all. Now what happened with the mouse? Well read below for the rest of this area.

Underwater Garden (U): You are moving out and over towards the Mess Hall. Things go fine. You will be able to move the cart and everything on it, without any issues or spills, from the Pier to M5, just south of the mess hall, on the main road this round. During your movement you will catch sight of DoLittle with Hunters Dog as she walks it away from Hunters apartment and it seems she is heading towards the main supply building.

Thana glanced over at Nigel and smiled. She didn't mind being called Athena, it had a nice ring to it. "If I am Athena, then which one would you be. I doubt Sportacus is a real deity," she said with a bit of a smirk. She had read the nickname in the files and heard it once in Quarantine. She was sure there was a story behind that but she really wasn't worried about it. Considering from what she had gathered it was from the two older men who seemed to be what Jay and Silent Bob liked to refer to themselves as Hetero-life-mates, she didn't think there was actually a lot to the story.

Gathering her things she nodded. "Yeah, seems taxes went away but the paperwork didn't. Now if I could only find a twinkie that would be something," she said as they started heading away from the pier once everything was done and locked up down there. Unzipping her wet suit she rolled it down to her waist. It was nice to just not have it compressing on everything, granted on her thigh the compression did help some. She still had a long way to go in recovery. There were moments when she missed the pins in her leg. She was used to them by the time they came out earlier that week, it was like having to learn to deal with the weight of her body all over again.

The mention of swords made her smile a bit. "Actually Joaquin can probably set it up. At least with non-sharpened or wooden for now. At least until you and Thalia are off probation in the community and everyone is more at ease with new people having weapons," Thana said as she walked with him towards the Mess Hall. Her limp was getting a little better the more she moved it out of the water, the heat of the air versus the cold of the water made a difference. "It'll have to be supervised of course, run by Roy, and set up for a time and place but I don't think it would really be a big issue. Long as you follow the rules and such. Ask Roy, or hell even Major would know."

Catching something out of the corner of her eyes she turned her head and spotted DoLittle with a dog. She didn't know the dog but it matched the description of the dog Hunter came in with. It made her wonder why the vet had the dog but there were so many reasons, and it was only day one, that it didn't even cross Thana's mind that the dog was being removed. For all she knew the woman was taking the thing for a walk since Hunter had work to do like all the other new people.

"Exactly," Nikki said agreeing with Amelia assessment of the old ladies. It was exactly like that and it seemed that even the end of the world couldn't being about the end of the Sewing circle, or in this instance the Poker circle. Either way, people liked to talked, especially when there was not much else to do. Nikki recalled over hearing Maddoc and Gunny talking at one point, about how making sure people kept busy doing things that were useful was the most important part of survival these days. Idle hands and all that jazz. She wasn't sure she agreed with that but she couldn't fault the logic. Half the time when she did something she wasn't supposed to it was because she was bored.

There was a nod from Nikki. "You're welcome. Most everything around here is common sense, it is just learning what to do. Reminds me of what I think college must have been like for others. Drop off stuff here, pick it up there. Well college for the rich. Like, yes, Gerard, that's a good man, would you mind flouncing my bouncy!" Nikki said doing a horrible impression of a snooty rich person snapping her fingers in the air before giggling and popping a bubble with her gum.

Everything seemed to be going along well. Hearing about the man Amelia was paying respects to was nice. Not nice that she was talking about a dead friend but getting to know Amelia. She liked the woman and was glad she was assigned her. It was a nice change and Amelia seemed sweet enough. "Glad you get to then. It's nice to have somewhere to go to say goodbye." It was, Nikki knew this. She wished she had such a place to go visit to remind her of her dad. She had to leave his body in the woods in Alabama. Then again, the whole camp kind of did that for her. They were trying to get here. She needed to go fishing.

Thoughts about fishing though went right out the window when a mouse came out of nowhere. "Mr. Bo'jangels that is not how we greet people!" Nikki scolded the mouse. She went to grab it but that didn't work. The mouse was much faster than the young woman was, scurrying off before Nikki had a chance to grab him, thankfully he didn't run up Amelia's leg but back under the shelving instead. "Damn it," Nikki grumbled from on her knees. Huffing she looked up at Amelia. "Been trying to catch that fucker for three months..."
