🧚🏻‍♀️ The Walking Dead - Year 6 Part 1

☠ 𝚃𝚆𝙳: 𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝟻 𝙿𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝟺 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Location: Camp Mexico Beach Weather Forecast: Dawn at 5:57 A.M. - Dusk at 7:41 P.M. - High: 87F, Low: 72F - Winds SW at 4mph - Gusting to 10mph - No rain - Cloud Cover: 26% - Visibility: 9miles. Notes: This is the first round where we have a character actually using a skill to start learning a secondary skill. This is a new process so there are going to be hiccups and hang ups most likely. Do not worry. We are going to take this slow. If you have questions, please ask - even if it isn't your character - that way when your turn comes up you already know the process and I don't have to go back and start from the beginning. ^_^

Hospital/Medical (B): Mary gave a slight "mmm-hmm," to Lisa as they suited up. Once they were she unlocked the second door and held it open for Lisa to enter. "I wasn't either but with the new influx of people and the unknown it is better to have a secondary on training now and you're the only one I'd trust with the drugs right now," Mary admitted. It was still a bit early for this to start but things had to be done. Even though people came in healthy it still put a strain on their supplies to have such a sudden influx and if someone got sick things could get out of hand fast.

Once Lisa was in the room, Mary locked them in and headed over to a table that had various beakers, burners, bottles, and so forth set out on. She took a breath and went into instruction mode. Explaining chemical compounds, a bit of history on the process, and so forth. Mary was rather detailed about things, giving a broad over view of the process as she stood there. This was where Mary was most competent. Sure she was technically a doctor, she had a doctorate and went to medical school, but she had been a chemist before the outbreak. She worked for Big Pharma, she developed drugs, ran testings, that was what she did. This was what she did. It probably accounted for the fact that she didn't exactly have a bed side manner when it came to people like Michael did. She hadn't needed one. Granted this was probably also the reason that she seemed to talking more at Lisa than teaching her.

Handing over a folder Mary tapped it a few times. "This is the walk through," she stated flatly before taking a step back and pulling up a chair. "You follow it, and do it," she added motioning towards the tools and items already set out. It seemed that Mary was mostly there to observe a lab than to teach now. She had done the instruction portion, handed over the instructions, now it was time to see how well Lisa did during this on her first trial run. (Time for Checks. You will roll against the Chemistry Skill. Lisa will need to pass five checks. Roll against Chemistry, if you fail she has botched the batch and has to do it again. If she passes she moves onto to the second check. If she fails she had to redo the second step again. If she passes she goes onto the third step. You get a total of 3 rolls this round. You could end up not getting past the first step or get to the 4th, all depends on the rolls. Make your reply accordingly. Any questions tag me in Discord.)

Mess Hall (C): Things in the mess hall are calm for now. At least in the back. Once Nigel was in the back Cook looked over towards Thana and sighed. "You look tired," she commented towards the woman. "You need to stop pushing yourself so much." It was more of a motherly statement than anything. Seemed that Cook was concerned about the fact that Thana hadn't seemed to stop since she had woken up from her coma.

Assembly (P): The Padre gave Amelia a small smile as he finished checking his clip. Sliding it back into place he holstered his side arm as he watched her load up onto the bus with Riley pulling up behind her. His eyes followed to the next, nodding a bit towards Ash as he bored the bus. He was a tad surprised that Thana wasn't coming along. Yes the woman had been there when the bodies were buried but these people, the way she spoke, were more for those in Newnan if they ever showed up. Then again, she had been pretty torn up when Gavin went into the ground. Perhaps she just didn't want to see his grave again. There were too many factors to really know and no one would know the truth besides that woman.

Tatiana gave Ash a bit of a glance as he sat down, and a nod. She knew what he was doing. It was what she was doing, at least in part. There was more going on in the woman's head than just that but Tatiana was not the same woman she had been in Newnan. Things changed and while not completely altered, Tatiana was more cold these days, something she might never recover from. The woman's eyes went to Thalia as she entered the bus. That was a woman Tatiana wanted to be around more. They had trained together some in quarantine and she enjoyed the silence the woman gave her. It was comfortable. Especially in contrast to Waynes mouth that never stopped.

Daytona nodded and then looked beyond. Seeing the others, one at a time get on the bus and take a seat. Once everyone that was going to pay their respects was on the bus Joaquin and Bass entered the bus. Joaquin handed off his bag to Bass and walked to the back of the bus and stood at the back door. As he stood with his feet shoulder length apart and placed his hands before him, taking a parade rest of sorts he finally looked like a Gonzales. There was a coldness to his dark eyes, a hard line to his jaw, a twitch to his lip. Then he looked like this father and his uncle, like his sister, as if he could slit someone's throat without a word or breath and not think twice about it.

Padre pulled up the end of the line to load the bus and as he stepped on Daytona shut the door. "Okay Daytona, we're good to go," he said to her and she nodded. Putting the bus into gear the engine roared a little bit before it pulled forward and she started to drive. Taking it around the circle and then around back towards the East Gate.

Supply (R): Things were status quo in supply, that was until the back door swung open and Auntie came in. This caused the dog to bark, not meanly but excitedly. Spotting the dog her eyes narrowed. "What in the hell is that thing doing in my store room?" she barked back but not to the dog, to Nikki as she looked like the woman might just tackle her right then.

Streets of CMB (M2 -> J3): Things continued to be silent as the group walked from one point to another. Roy keeping a grip on Hunter. Whether or not he thought the kid might actually make a break for it didn't matter, those thoughts were his own. He kept his grip firm and steady as they walked no matter what his thoughts might have been. That was the thing about Roy that differed from Maddoc. Roy was blank, a canvas which was hard to read, much like Gunny. Maddoc on the other hand seemed to wear his emotions on his sleeve. At least some, like right then he was looking rather angry. Then again it was rare he hadn't around Hunter - maybe that was his default or maybe the kid just brought that out in him, it was a guess at that point.

"Coming in," Maddoc said as he brought the walkie to his mouth as they approached another road. "One in transport," he added.

"Shit, fine," a rugged voice with a slight rasp came back through but it was hard to tell if that was just general static or more. Turning down the road, the made it to the end of a road and a large white house. Standing on the front porch was an older man, his head bald. It was hard to tell if he shaved it that way or if that was just how he was. He was armed and stood around 5'10". "What the hell you bringing me now Maddoc? I thought this new group was supposed to be easy," he grumbled as he stood there and cross his arms over his chest.

"Cage, don't start. This is just holding for now," Maddoc said as he jogged up the steps and took the clipboard that was hanging by the front door. Roy lead Hunter towards the front of the house but stopped short of the steps. "Have a tribunal to get together."

"God damn it," Cage spat as he looked from Maddog over to Hunter. "Fine, here are the rules. I am the Warden. You will be housed in your cell. Bath, shit, sleep, wash, eat there. You will not leave. Hurt yourself I let you bleed out. My job it to keep you where you are until they remove you. Nothing more.

"Way to be friendly there Elliot," Roy commented.

"Oh eat a dick Gregory," the man countered as he looked over towards Roy before looking back at Hunter. "Don't care what you did. Don't want to hear it."

"Tribunal will be in three to four days if we can get people together. If not a week," Maddoc pipped in with a grumble.

"A fucking week? God damn it Mad, get me some extra hands here then!"

"You'll get some extra once the funeral detail is back," Roy said in a firm voice.

"Well that's all you had to say Boss," Cage said with a huff. Roy rolled his eyes as Maddoc filled out the paper work and handed it over to Cage.

Thana gave a small smile towards Nigel as she waited for him to take the cart to the back. She was growing fond of the man. It was nice to just talk to someone. She had tried talking to Mizrahi some while they were traveling but the fact his English was broken and she hadn't spoken any Arabic until he came along made that hard. Despite that they had been able to converse. She tried to help him with his English, he was teaching her Arabic. They were able to talk some over their time out and some deep stuff to but she was sure a lot of that was lost in translation.

Ash she hadn't really talked to, not until the night or two before. Their first moments together and day had been a whirl wind and they hadn't gotten to know know each other than physically and knowing there was a hell of an instant connection. Talking she was learning more about the man but still that was something different. Talking wit Nigel was just talking and it was nice. It was talking like people did before the world went to hell. Talking about history and such, making observations. Nothing life or death, nothing about taking out a Walker or taking off a limb. Sure there was talks about weapons but she was military so weapons were usually in there.

Once he had headed to the back of the kitchen it seemed that Cook had a few words to say. Things she had heard before from her Grandfather, a look from her dad, she knew this. She just nodded. She knew she needed to slow down but she also knew she had debt to pay. So much debt. She wanted to pay it off and as quickly as possible so there wouldn't be question about her being the daughter of Gunny and granddaughter of the General getting her special treatment. She wouldn't have that. She wouldn't jeopardize her place in the community, especially now that Ash was there. She'd die first, again. She wasn't going to let all that time and effort go to waste. She had family here sure, but now she had friends and the man she loved as well. This was now a home and like hell she was going to chance losing that at all.

It was a wash, rinse, repeat scenario for Nikki right then. Pick up something from the cart, add it to the totals, place it on the shelf. Over and over again. Then things got really exciting for her when she was able to start taking things off the shelf, mark them taken, and place them on carts. It was high excitement right then. The only thing that kept her ground was chewing her gum and petting the dog every so often. It was almost too much to contain. Like she might burst. Groaning the thought of sarcastic excitement left her head as another bubble of gum popped between her lips.

Things were B O R I N G, boring right then. This was usually the time her mind started wandering and she starting thinking about other things to do. Things that would get her in trouble if she followed through with them. So perhaps it wasn't exactly a bad thing when the back door swung open and Auntie started yelling. It wasn't true yelling. Nikki had heard Auntie really yell. This was more of the you better listen to what I am saying voice that could lead to I'm now yelling before I kill you voice. So while not scary it was enough to get her attention even if Izi hadn't been barking.

"New guy is getting tossed into a cell, DoLittle needed someone to take the dog," Nikki said as she stopped what she was doing and knelt down by the dog, petting her to calm her down and get a better hold on her lead. Smiling slightly she motioned towards the back door. "You know, how about I go take her to my house and then come back. Just gonna drop her off, be good, get her out of here," Nikki started rambling as she started to head for the door. Auntie was in the way so she would have to squeeze by her if she didn't move but it was the closest exit.

@Yankee Not sure what you think but basically what I am talking about it taking 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, placing it your measuring cup and filling up the remaining with milk. Let it sit for five to ten minutes and you are good to go. ^^ As far as the rest, feel free to pm me. ^^

@The Mad Hatter Yeah, it is weird. I had been cooking most of my life but didn't get an actual kitchen scale until my thirties. It broke years down the line, I just recently bought a new one. Lol If you ever need help with conversions feel free to drop me a line, I have friends over seas that we trade recipes and techniques so used to the culinary translations.

Ask an Admin, v2.

@Ruby I am a tad confused considering I never once mentioned Jacob so it is odd to me they were mentioned in a response to me. O.o I am asking in general. Not what has been done, but what in your mind could be. I am not speaking about specific people or responses.

Though, as I can see this is not the right time and a bit too hot of a topic to be able to just be spoken about generally I am taking a step back. Perhaps another time. Well wishes and nope, like another said, do not envy at all. ( Said it once, said it half a dozen times: one could not pay me enough to mod this place lol)

Ask an Admin, v2.

@Ruby Thank you for the response, though I meant in general not just pertaining to bans but moving on to the other part. Could you please address the second half of my previous inquiry as it was overlooked and is, to me, the more important part. To refresh I quote:

... 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.

Deletion Please

Do not need trolling, please delete

@The Mad Hatter LMAO well as the Hatter I would imagine it would be odd seeing as you have so many cups to choose from but let me see if I can help. American Standard of a cup is 8 ounces in weight or volume. When it comes to things such as cooking when one says a cup they mean 8 ounces by volume, not weight. A cup of flour can vary widely in weight depending on how much you pack it down while a cup of granulated sugar tends to be even. Now, when measuring flour in a recipe that uses cups fluff the flour then spoon it in and level off for more consistent outcomes. Or if you can, find a recipe that calls for weight of flour instead, this will result in the best outcome. (I have provided both as weight is best but most don't have a kitchen scale.) I hope this helps and I am not just Stark Raving Mad.

Hello my lovelies. Food, food, glorious food is the topic at hand. We all need to feed. Today, and all days forth, let us feed our tummies and not the flames or discourse. Screw lending me your ears. Lend me your taste buds. Why? Why the hell not? Women should be in the kitchen, men should be in the kitchen, everyone should be in the kitchen because that is where the food is at. I know, outside of Rp I am an Artistic Confectioner by trade. So I am going to share a few recipes here and there and you share your own. Let's eat!



Irish Cream Butter Bundt Cake
You will need a large bundt pan for this. It will work in rounds but this recipe is developed for a bundt or tube pan.
Preheat oven to 325 Degrees Fahrenheit
Spray down pan with nonstick spray (grease and flour if you don't have spray)

Cake Ingredients

• 13.5 Ounces All Purpose Flour (Roughly 3 cups)
• 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspon Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Buttermilk (Soured milk if you don't have)
• 1 Cup Irish Butter (or good salted butter) Room Temperature
• 2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 4 Eggs

No need to divide up, dump all that into your mixing bowl, mix until well combined and smooth.

Pour in your pan, put in the oven and back for 45-55 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

While that is baking, make the sauce! Very important stuff!

Sauce Ingredients

• 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 Cup Butter
• 1/3 Cup Irish Cream (If you can' get booze substitute 3 tablespoon water and two teaspoon vanilla extract.)

Mix together in a pan on the stove on low just until the butter melts and it is combined. Do not let it come to a bubble! Keep warm until cake comes out. Take a skewer and poke holes into the cake carefully all over the top. Then pour the warm sauce over the cake. Leave on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes to let the cake soak up all that goodness. Turn over, let the cake slide out, serve warm. Enjoy!

Now, who is next?
