Ask an Admin, v2.

I am usually bent to keep to myself these days but this is getting a touch out of hand. So, I have a question: what do you believe the mods or admins could do to better give transparency to issues as well as bring the community together because it is desperately needed. Please note that this is what the staff could do, not what the members should do. That is another topic entirely.

I am asking this of Ruby alone, not other staff nor other members, so I ask both respectfully to keep their personal thoughts or comments out of it as to not add fuel to an already overly zealous fire. Thank 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.
