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."

Notes: Considering that after the Tati Knock Down Pay Per View it was calm in quarantine so we are pushing through that and jumping to the final bits of testimony - Gunny and Cage's testimonies as well as a piece of evidence. Hold on, you will need to go back and read a lot. I am providing as many links as possible but I suggest reading up some so you know how to have your character react. (Nothing big in quarantine but Gunny's Office and the Jail are big chunks.)

That being said - make sure you know or have an idea where you want your character to be going soon since we will do a time jump when this is over - people will be given more freedoms, we will get to the end of the whole probationary period as well. If you are wanting to shelve a character at time jump let me know!

Hospital (B): Over in the hospital the radio crackled, it was Medic. "Right... Be there shortly," he said before it went silent.

Mary was making her rounds and came in and saw what was going on with Lucy and Lisa. "Damn it..." she whispered under her breath as she walked over and turned off the monitor. Pulling up a seat she sat down and just looked at the child. She didn't say anything else, instead just sitting there watching the girls lifeless body and every so often looking over at Lisa. This was hard. They all knew it was coming. Part of Mary had hoped the girl could hold on longer but there was a part of her that was glad it was over. Lucy had been in a lot of pain and there was nothing they could do for her. The thing was Mary knew even if the world hadn't been turned upside down Lucy most likely would have passed away at the same moment. The cancer was just too aggressive and there wouldn't have been anything more they could do besides pump her with chemicals that would have just weakened her.

The minutes seemed to tick by but eventually Medic came into the room, Guy was with him pushing a gurney. Guy took his hat off when he saw the little girl. He hadn't met her before but he had heard about her form Medic. Medic had spent some time in the hospital before being assigned to an away team. "Who's going to do the paper work?" Medic asked.

"I will do it," Mary said as she took a file from Medic as he held it out. Medic nodded. "Lisa, go take some time," she said as she pulled the table away from over the bed, a single yellow crayon rolling off the sunflower picture that Lucy had drawn before the story and onto the floor. Medic and Guy stood back and waited for the ladies to move back some so they could move the body.

The Court Martial Of Hunter Monroe
Location: Education Center: Auditorium (M)
Charges: Food Waste - 7.22.2012 | Drunken Disorderly - 7.22.2012
Failure To Report To Duty At Designated Time - 7.23.2012 | 10-886 Absence Without Leave - 7.23.2012

Now that they had covered the first big day in Quarantine was done the rest of the witness calling became pretty fast. There were no big incidents after that that needed addressing. Even what happened in Hunters interview was glossed over, it being said that the interview was a private matter between him and Maddoc - something that Maddoc got up to put on record that he and Hunter had moved past it and that he still stood by his decision and notes on record in Hunters file.

Nikki was called back up briefly as she was the only one to really get close to Hunter during the remainder of Quarantine. The kiss was mentioned and Nikki was asked directly why she had done that. Sitting there in the witness chair she responded directly while looking at Hunter the entire time. "I thought he was cute and from what I had personally seen of the guy at that time I thought he was sweet and cute. Sure, awkward as hell but who the fuck wasn't coming in from out there? I was ten times worse," she said before being dismissed.

Thana watched from up above and wondered what was coming next. It was interesting to learn about things that she had been witness to since she got back during their last day. She had read about some of them in the reports she needed to go over but Hunter hadn't stood out to her. Beatrice did, as did Froggy - the two that were not here anymore. It made her wonder what they were up to now and where they were. She hoped Beatrice was alright. She really didn't know Froggy but Beatrice had meant something to her and to her group for a long time. That wasn't going away just because she wasn't present in the camp. Maybe they would see each other again.

"Gunny, would you take the stand," The Professor asked. Rising from his seat behind the table Gunny stood and walked over to the witness chair. The man took his oath, promising what others had before him before taking his seat. "Would you put into your own words the events that transpired and lead up to the formal charges of Court Martial to be filed against Mr. Monroe?"

Sitting there back straight and still, Macsen answered the question. "Mr. Monroe was brought into me after a call came in about being AWOL for a time. He entered my office and relayed the charges that had been filed against him so far as well as reports on him since his exit from quarantine. I asked him if he denied the charges. He did not deny the charges but made it clear that he thought they were excessive on some and that he didn't actually remember much of what he had done the night before. Mr. Monroe seemed to show remorse for what he did remember concerning Checkbook. He also felt as if he was making enemies. I told him I did not think it was such but that I believed he was trying to keep people at a distance."

"And what from this lead to the additional charges?" The Professor asked.

"What happened next. Due to the charges, per the Camps disciplinary terms it was simple enough. Special privileges are removed. Being that Mr. Monroe was a new person in camp and only on day 1 of his probation he did not have but one special privilege: the dog. It was ordered that the dog be removed from his care until further notice," Gunny said in an even tone.

"So not permanently?"

"No, not permanently, just until Mr. Monroe corrected his behavior and earned special privileges back."

"Then what happened?"

"Mr. Monroe became unhinged. Bringing up that since our threats didn't work and accusing the camp of trying to pacify him by taking away the thing of most emotional value."

"But we have established about the falsity of this threat."

"You have. Called the punishment petty, asked if we enjoyed this, if we enjoyed breaking people mentality and emotionally so that we could abuse them in any manner we wished. Said we were sick, assholes. Told us as a collective to fuck off. Though he was much more vulgar over all and threatening."

"Classic case of insubordination?"

"I have seen far less from men who had been through far worse. At this point I was informed of the failure to administer animal sanitation by DoLittle. Due to his inability to maintain a stable mental footing and his refusal to see what was actually going on while insulting the entire camp he was placed under arrest and I placed my recommendation for exile. After that he was removed and taken to lock up."

Macsen was dismissed from the witness chair and Cage was brought up and sworn in before questioning began. "The kid came straight in with an attitude. Typical really of anyone getting thrown into lock up. We did have a dead one that needed cleaning."

"And did this continue on the recordings?" The Professor asked. That got Thana's attention. She leaned up some.

"Yes, apparently I am the winner of the Not My Job Award because I think people should do their jobs," he said before glancing over at Hunter. "Top shelf behind the book stacks. Can't stay down there the entire time making sure you don't try something stupid," he admitted about the camera in the room. Thing was, he didn't mention Hunters little break down over the rodent. "He continued through most of his lock up to have an attitude."

"You're dismissed. Let us see the evidence," The Professor said as a TV and VCR was rolled onto stage and Cage stepped down. Pushing a tape in, it showed the interaction between Ash, Hunter, and Ted when they came to clean up the remains until they left and Cage came in with the tray. Cage leaned back in the seat and watched. Nikki physically cringed to hear Hunter, her eyes going over to him and mouthing what the hell?. Now it made sense why Cages testimony hadn't been in-depth, why Ash wasn't called back up or Ted, or even Nikki. They had recorded it and placed the main things into a collection that might have been titled - Hunters Greatest Hits. As it came to an end Cage shook his head towards Hunter. Cage hadn't reviewed the sound on the tape yet, he rarely did. He watched it without sound to watch the person and not get distracted, to make sure they weren't trying to break out. Now he knew that Hunter had been informed where he was and getting him food but the kids attitude never dropped. Cage looked away. He had been trying for the kid. Now he knew the kid was going to think the worst even when he was informed of the truth.

The tape cut to the next part: Nikki coming in to speak with Hunter. It showed Hunter jumping down her throat. It stopped when shortly after she left. It picked back up again when Roy came in and told Hunter he needed to stop being constantly hostile and Hunter went off yet again. It cut off after the dog was brought in for Hunter. After that the tape was over. It didn't show anymore.

Setting down the file she had been holding, the Professor picked up a legal pad that seemed to have a lot written on it. Taking a sip of water she turned her attention towards Hunter. "Mr. Monroe, we have now finished questioning witnesses from quarantine and I believe we have established a pattern of behavior for you." Stepping forward she clutched the pad in her hands against her midsection as she looked him over. "Now is your turn. Will you testify on your own behalf or will you plead the fifth and remain silent? Remember if you testify you will be sworn in and questioned, if you plead the fifth you will be expected to remain silent." She stood there and waited an answer. If Hunter chose to be questioned and get a chance to speak on his own behalf he would be sworn in. If not, she would move on. It was now or never.

Notes: Time to get back to the actual court martial. We are starting back on questioning. Remember, even if your character has already been called they will be again. Going to try to push through this quickly and just hit on some main points, will link in as I can so you can go back and reference the time tables. Should make it easier as it has only been a short amount of time for the characters so it will still be fresh in their minds. (Granted for us it has actually been 2 years - holy shit lol)

Hospital (B): Lucy looked over to Lisa and smiled. "I wonder if there is still magic, I mean, if we could find it again, if we tried," she said in a rather excited voice at the thought. She was tired but the story kept her going. This was the longest someone had sat with her in a long time and she was enjoying the company. It got lonely in the hospital. Each day was harder and harder on her little body. While the Camp itself was a marvel, it still lacked a lot, especially when it came to treating cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation were not something they had access too anymore. Maybe one day, some place somewhere would but for now, in this place, it was out of their grasp. There was only so much they could do for the young girl. Out of all the hell that people lived with this day, somethings always remained the same.

Resting her head back in her pillow, Lucy lay there listening to the fairy tale. It had to have a happy ending. That was how fairy tales were supposed to be, at least the way she heard them. So she listened, waiting for the happy ending. She needed a happy ending. At least one. Her eyes grew heavier as Lisa spoke but she fought to keep them open. She was tired, so very tired but her smile remained. As the story came to an end, there was a little coo from the small child. "And they lived happily ever after...." Lucy whispered as her eyes finally closed. She stilled as she slipped away. After a moment the monitor that kept track of Lucy's vitals flatlined and the all too well known sound of a single note rang out from it as Lucy passed away, still holding that innocent little smile on her lips.

Thana nodded towards Ash slightly as he spotted her before turning her attention back to the rest of everyone that was down there. Nikki glanced around before scooting back down in her seat. She figured she wouldn't be called for a while since she didn't start coming in for a few more days. Wayne smirked at what Hank was said. As he took his seat once they got back he laughed a little. "Judy would have put this kid on the rack and spun it like it was the Showcase Showdown."

Cage glanced over towards Hunter as they headed back to the Education Center. "Kid, I wouldn't fucking worry if you would enjoy anything anymore. You need to stay alive." Sighing he kept walking as Joaquin took point behind Hunter as they entered the building. "What you need to do, with everything, is learn to keep your foot out of your mouth before someone puts theirs up your ass," he said as they came to the door of the auditorium. He stopped and looked at Hunter. "You need to realize real quick, no one here is trying to kill you, we're actually looking for reasons not to. You on the other hand seem to want to get shot, now go," he said before opening the door and leading Hunter back up to his seat. Joaquin fell into his place and rested his hands at his side as he mirrored Hunter.

Chase smiled over at Riley and Amelia. "Weather should be clearing up, cooler tomorrow, let's hope it holds," she said quietly as she clutched a folder of papers in her lap. Turning her head she glanced around. It looked like everyone was back. At least she thought but then again she wasn't the one that knew everyone. Off to the side of the front row she spotted the resident psychologist sitting there. He wasn't supposed to be called, at least from what she knew but it made sense. He was the one that did the break down of everyone in camp, she figured he was watching to see what Hunter would do or say. He wasn't a part of the council but he was listened to by them.

Everyone was back and it was time to get underway once again. The first person called back up was Tatiana. "And then you hit him?" The Professor asked after a few lead up questions that laid out when Tatiana laid Ash out. Tatiana nodded. "Why?"

"I am not on trial." It was flat, it was direct, it was dry as she said it.

"Then humor me."

"No."

Jack sat there eyeing the Professor as she questioned his wife. Tatiana looked unfazed. "I'll just ask Mr. Holloway then."

"Good luck, he is quieter than me." Jack palmed his face in his hands. "Vhy you want to knov?"

"I ask the questions."

"You vant ansver, you ansver my question."

Turning her head, the Professor looked at the Major. "You Russians are all alike." The Major didn't react, neither did Tatiana. They both looked blank just then. Letting out a huff the Professor looked back at Tatiana. "I need to establish what set off Hunter to start screaming."

"I punched Ash and tore him... Hov you Americans say? A new asshole?"

"Why?"

"Sibling fight."

"Going to tell me what you said?"

"You speak Russian?"

"No."

"Then doesn't matter. He can't either othervise he vouldn't have flipped out," Tatiana said as she motioned with her chin towards Hunter.

"Fine... moving on. Did Hunter do anything or say anything to you after that?"

"No. Not at first."

"What do you mean?"

"Everything had calmed down and ve had calmed dovn and moved on before he said anything. Fev things said betveeen me and rest of people I knev but vas quiet and calm."

"Then what happened?"

"I valked off, cleaned up broken coffee mug."

"And then?"

"Then he lost his shit. Called me stupid. Called me selfish. Yelled about there being consequences for actions. Told me they were watching and taking note. Said none of us could afford to lose our shit if I remember correctly. Vent off about hov they threatened to shoot him. Screamed he didn't trust anyone here. Yelled about hov he kept his cool and shit together because he oved his family. Said don't beat shit out of someone while you all are watching. To be smart. Kept going off." Tatiana stopped and looked at Hunter. "Hypocrite. Follow ovn advice you vouldn't be here. You are moron. Judgemental. You vatch, I see you vatch. You plan. Alvays planning. I knov, I see it."

"Mrs. Newnan, that's enough."

Looking back at The Professor Tatiana smirked, coldly. "Not enough. He tore into guards next, asking if they enjoy shov. He hung up on simple varning when he threaten constantly. He liar, hypocrite, he never safe, ve never safe vith him. He need adjustment or let Ash follow through and feed him to corpse."

"That's your opinion. What I want are facts."

"Fact: He lost it. Fact: He judge vhat he knov nothing of. Fact: He does everything he is scared others vill do to him. Fact: he dangerous. Fact: Others agreed, vhy he got body checked and varned by others and I got the apology. Vant me to go on?"

"No, you are dismissed." Tatiana shrugged and stood up, walking back to her seat as Jack was called up.

Jack sighed and took the stand. He was more open to answering questions than Tatiana had been and far less confrontational. At least until he was asked what she had said in Russian. To which Jack replied. "Не ври мне. Хорошо? Попробуйте выдать эту ложь кому-то, кто вас не знает. С вами не все в порядке. Только бессердечный социопат мог бы узнать, что женщина, которая питала его все последние восемнадцать месяцев Трек в недра влаги ада здесь не было. У тебя все так же хорошо, как после того, как меня связали и сожгли в течение нескольких месяцев из-за спорта. У тебя все так же хорошо, как и у Ричарда после смерти Зои. Ты знаешь, кто также сказал мне они были чертовски хороши, Эштон? Сана. Сана сказала мне, что она в порядке. Я приняла это, и ты знаешь, что случилось потом? Ты забыл, хорошо, позволь мне напомнить тебе. Она умела сама. Она была так хороша, что убила себя. И это привело к ее кусанию Тройной B. Это привело Джеймса к убийству Ричарда. Это привело к тому, что Джеймса выгнали из Ньюнана. О, и он до сих пор мёртв. Так что вы знаете, я не принимаю чертовски хорошо, потому что в прошлый раз я не только потерял пациента, но так много других, включая моего лучшего друга и твоего брата! И я буду проклят, если я тоже потеряю тебя, так что пососи Лютик, и признай, что с тобой все в порядке, или я клянусь, блядь, Христос, я буду бить тебя в задницу, пока ты не сможешь снова произнести слово хорошо." The man repeated word for word what his wife had said, in Russian.

"And what does that mean?"

"Like my wife said, he doesn't speak Russian so it doesn't matter." The Professor grimaced a little but moved on. Jack answered. His timeline was the same as Tatiana's. Things had calmed down and people were dispersing, Tatiana was even cleaning up a broken coffee mug before Hunter went off. Jack went into greater detail about what Hunter said. The Professor was not sure about this. It seemed a bit far fetched that Hunter had said so much. She called for the reports filed by The Major and Panama that day to double check. It all lined up. This was not looking good.

Wayne was called next. It was the same as before. Same scene, the persons personal take on what they saw. "That's when Decker body checked him like he was about to score the winning fucking point in the Super bowl and sent his ass to the ground hard. Good thing do, I was about to gut him for talking to Mama like that. I've done some twisted shit in my life. You don't fuck with a mama, not like that."

Sighing, Wayne was dismissed. The Major was called. "And do you know what Mrs. Newnan said?"

"Da."

"And you understood it?"

"Da."

"And what was it?"

"Nothing of consequence."

"Why didn't you intervene?"

"Same reason ve never do in fights in camp. Let people vork it out. Ve observe. Much time nev people fight. Is common. Cause more issue to try to stop. Unless someone in danger ve stick back. Less injuries, less chance of someone doing something stupid. Save more life's by letting a few teeth get knocked out. Panama knovs this."

"You can step down Major, Panama," The Professor said.

"Yeah, kid was dumb. It's in my report. That was what the third of forth time he was going on about the supposed threat that never actually happened. Kid is really hung up on that. He heard one thing, took it another, hooked onto it, made it what he wanted it to be so he could feel better, and then kept doing everything he screamed and bitched about from other people. It's funny."

"Funny?"

"Yeah, I think he's fucking hilarious."

"Get down..." The Professor was tired of hearing it.

Next she started down the line. Amelia, Riley, Ash, Thalia, Nigel, Manny, Alexander, and Hank were all called. They were asked the same - what did you see go down between Ash and Tatiana, how much time passed between Tatiana and Ash before Hunter started in, what did Hunter say, how did you take what he said, and then it was followed up with more. "What happened between Beatrice Decker and Hunter Monroe?" Tris wasn't there to talk for herself, she had left, but there were plenty of witnesses.

Notes: Dinner is over and we are moving back to the Court Martial itself. Should be a simple enough round as we are not starting more questioning this round. That will happen next round. For anyone wanting to get ahead of things to what we will be going over during the next post in questioning, we are picking up at Tatiana knocking Ash down on the ground and going from there.

Hospital (B): Lucy sat there, excited to find out what happened next. She was tired but the want to hear the story to the end was keeping her awake. Not fully but enough to sit there smiling. She listened intently about the Prince, about how he finally realized how stupid he had been. She nodded, agreeing that his wife had done everything for him. "He was a real stupid head," she said. "Oh good, he's going to try," she added in a drowsy voice. "Yarn? That has a be a big ball of yarn!"

Resting her head back against the pillow she kept listening. "Where is she? He wore through the shoes and ate the bread," she wondered quietly as Lisa kept telling her the tale. This was by far her favorite story now. "Wow, he's a lot nicer now that he's hungry," she giggled. "Oooo, he better be careful or she's gonna put a spell on him!" she exclaimed with a bit more energy. "Um, Lisa, can I have some water before you continue?" she asked. Her throat was dry and she felt too weak to get out of bed at this point.

Thana set her spoon down and quirked a brow at Ash's takes on the Court Martial so far. "Really? I didn't see it that way," she said as she rested her elbow on the table and her cheek against her palm as she leaned over slightly. "Think they are establishing a full pattern of behavior. I wasn't here fer when most of this went down so it is all new to me. Hearing it makes me really question why my uncle pushed to let him be in camp," she said before shrugging and righting herself once again. "I mean just off how he was, or how they say he was at the first meet up, I wouldn't of let him on the bus," Thana admitted as she picked up her spoon.

Shears sat there and watched Thalia and then glanced over at Nigel. "So it's a family thing? Makes sense, yo brother is scary good with a knife. Should have been a barber," he laughed.

Wayne snorted, having to grab a napkin to keep soup from flying out his nostrils. "Well Sport is in charge of the balls at Rec time," Wayne finally was able to get out after blowing a piece of shrimp and potato out of his left nostril. "Ugh, fuck me, glad i didn't pick the spice tonight. I mean burning my ass is one thing but my nose, not unless I can find a line of something white." He smirked as he swatted at the air a bit before glancing around. "Aww ain't they a cute couple, maybe we should serenade them outside their window tonight," Wayne said with a smirk as he motioned with his spoon towards Thana and Ash. "Something sexy, like Cat Scratch Fever."

Cage sighed as he rubbed his face. "Kid you survive this we have got to get you some social lessons, like one of those LARP things or in a play or something, you're gonna get yourself killed," he said as he sat there. This was hard to watch.

There was a moment of pause for Thana as she had a thought but didn't say anything at first. She took a few more bites of her food before looking over at Ash and smiling slightly. "I like our time apart," she said with a smirk. "Keeps me from gettin' bored with ya," she said in a coy voice before chuckling and nudging him gently in the ribs with her elbow. "Think we've proved absence makes the heart grow fonder." Sighing she tore off a piece of her roll and dipped it in her soup as she leaned against Ash slightly. Being apart had kept the man on her mind, constantly. And it wasn't like she wanted to be apart from him again, that was obvious just from the way she acted around him. Didn't mean she wasn't going to mess with him.

Atticus motioned towards Thana and Ash. "Basically the same as them just without interfering with his work," he said as he jerked his head towards Joaquin. "That and checking in on you. Noticed how you reacted to Checkbook testifying. Think that was the first real piece of raw remorse I've seen in you. Bad it was only the first, good that it was there," Atticus said as he sat there. He paused as he took a bite of his soup. "It's going to be a while before they call you and it's probably going to be hard to listen to what people have to say. Believe the next one to be called to testify is Mrs. Newnan." Cage groaned a little. He had read the reports. "Anyways, before your lunch is over, need anything like an aspirin?" he asked. "I've had to sit through most of these, they give me a headache."

Shears chuckled a little. "Seems we have one of them, the war priests," he said as he motioned over towards Atticus that was sitting there with Joaquin, Hunter, and the others. "He's the reason Panama is missing a molar," he laughed. "Then he blessed the tooth and flicked it at him." Sniggering, Shears kept eating.

Things were going rather smoothly as people ate. After a little bit, the Council stood up and went to bus their trays, heading towards the door. "We should get going," Cage said as he pushed his chair back and stood up. "Come on kid, let's get you back. Need to hit the head before we get you back seated?" he asked. Joaquin watched Hunter, only standing once the kid did.

Finishing her soup, Thana stood up and gathered her tray. "Ya know, if you can manage to bus that tray in a minute you might just get a kiss," she teased as she started to back away. "60, 59, 58, 57..." she toyed as she turned around and headed off to bus her tray. It was reminiscent of the night they had spent together in Newnan. He had told her he would be up in one minute. She took it literally and started counting down. She smiled as she remembered the way he stumbled up the stairs trying to get there in time and then saluting her. It was something boyish and endearing.

The Council exited the Mess Hall and made their way back to the Education Building. People took a moment to use the bathroom if they needed before getting back to their seats. Wayne slipped off the stage. "I better take a potty break, come on bathroom buddy, remember in pairs," he laughed. Shears shoved the rest of his roll in his mouth before heading off. Those at the table with Hunter waited for the kid to be moving before they did, taking the same positions they did before as they headed back to the Education Center, giving Hunter time to hit the head as it were if he needed, Atticus handed over an Aspirin from a bottle out of his pocket if Hunter wanted one.

Thana walked back to the Education Center, sticking close to Ash, and giving him a kiss even if he didn't get there by the time she hit one before heading back up to the balcony. Taking her seat she glanced over the railing and made sure she could find Ash before her eyes darted around to see who else was there. Jack and Tatiana sat where they had been before. Wayne did the same and kicked his feet up on the row of seats in front of him. Nikki was still sitting there, lost in thought and jumped slightly as people came back in. Chase came in nearly last before sliding back into her seat where she had been before, where Amelia and Riley had been for the first part of the Court Martial.

Notes: Alright, lunch this round. Lunch will last this whole round. Next round we will move back to the actual Court Martial. I don't know how much longer it will last but hopefully not too much longer. Please be thinking now where you want your character to progress from here as we will be going through a good time jump after the Court Martial is over. This will come with a full update to character sheets - including personality shifts or settlings and points for your skills. Some characters will be getting new skills depending on what you want to do to progress your character. I will go ahead and suggest that since the next part of this RP is going to be COMBAT HEAVY that it will be more important to get your current scores boosted than to get new skills. I would suggest a minimal of 70 score in combat skills if you can swing it, 80-90 would be better.

Also you will be able to shelve a character if you wish. Now I will allow new characters, we can talk about those LATER, but I will say this, you will need to be consistently posting on day 6 or less for me to even considering speaking about a new character, even if you are dropping one or both your current. New characters take a lot of time and need to be well thought out. Again, we can talk about that LATER, I currently do not have the time to help with new ones.

Hospital (B): The story was more than anything that Lucy could have hoped for. She had been told many fairy tales as she sat in the hospital bed. She knew Cinderella and Snow White and so many others. Thumbelina had always been one of her most favorite but listening to this story she knew she would have a new one. She was tired and her body was fighting to try to sleep but she was so enraptured with the tale that she kept forcing her eyes to stay open as she lay there back against her pillows.

The story took her mind away from everything that was wrong and she sat there smiling from ear to ear hearing about the dance and how well Vasilisa seemed to handle everything. It was a true fairy tale and it looked like the two were going to live happily ever after. That was until Ivan did the unthinkable. "Oh no!" she gasped as Ivan burned the frog suit. She sniffled some as Vasilisa flew off. "Eat iron bread???? That's impossible!" she said in astonishment. "Is that it? Did he loose her? Did he actually do it? What did his father do?" she asked in earnest.

As Ash came out of the auditorium and down the hallway towards the main foyer of the Education Center, Thana smiled a bit. She hadn't needed to be there, and starting to hear what went down while she was gone wasn't exactly a boost for her morale, but she was there for Ash. She smirked a bit as he offered his arm. It reminded her of stories from older folks when she was growing up about being courted. It was sweet and she accepted his arm even if it seemed very outdated. Then again, outdated didn't mean bad. Thana leaned into him a bit as she walked out of the building and towards the mess hall. "Yeah, I missed you too," she said and she meant it. Sure she could see him the whole time but there was a difference between seeing him and being next to him.

Shears glanced over at Thalia as she came over to him. He had looked back about the noise and chuckled and was still smiling as she spoke to him. He had a good idea to why she was there. "I do indeed, but food first," he said with a smirk as he waddled along.

Chase wasn't far behind and shook her head. "I gotta do afternoon checks real fast just in case," she said before turning as she left the Education Center and starting to jog towards the pier.

Walking into the Mess Hall, Thana glanced around before getting in line with Ash. She opted for the chowder. She still needed to heal and put on some weight. She enjoyed spice but meat and whatever they used to make it creamy probably had a lot more calories and protein than the other. Sitting down next to Ash she glanced over to him. "I wonder how much longer this is going to last," she mused to him before taking a bite. They were only in day one of quarantine and not done with it yet. This could take a while.

Shears decided to have a seat across from Thalia since he had something for her. Reaching into his front pocket he pulled out a card and slipped it over to her. "Here ya go Beantown," he said before tearing his roll apart and dunking it into the bowl of chowder he had gotten for himself. On it read ~They say many hands make for easy work, yet this one person would know this not to be true.~ He grinned over at Nigel as he sat there. "Yo," he said in passing before taking a large bite of the chowder soaked bread.

Tatiana and Jack came in, grabbing their trays and having a seat away from the others. They sat next to each other and kept whispering between themselves as they would every so often glance around and take stock of who was in the room. Everyone else from the Court Martial seemed to do similar. Nikki didn't come, she just stayed behind in the room wondering what was going to happen next. Those on the Council came in and sat down alone and away from others. A few nods but it seemed that people knew not to approach them right then, they were in the middle of a case. Atlas stood guard by the council. Things seemed calm for now and it looked like most just were glad for a few minutes of down time.

Hunters guards kept a close eye on him as they walked him from the Education Center and into the Mess Hall. Panama going, "kid you need serious therapy," as he spun around. Cage just shook his head. Joaquin said and did nothing, he just walked, his eyes on Hunter. Each of the guards got a tray and sat down, Joaquin across from Hunter, Cage next to him, Panama a few seats down and across. As Hunter asked Joaquin if he wanted to talk he didn't say anything. Panama did though. "Kid, don't go tryin' diggin' there, you're just gonna end up in a deep grave."

Cage let out a short breath. "You're in serious trouble, you really shouldn't be trying to pry more information," Cage warned. "Seriously, you are out there alone, someone poses a threat, you know what you would do. We are no different," he added before taking a bite of his food.

Joaquin had a tray but he hadn't made a move to take a bite. He just sat there watching Hunter. Then he actually spoke. "It fits when such a villain is a guest. I’ll not endure him."

Atticus was passing by at this moment, carrying his tray. He stopped behind Joaquin and looked down at the man. "He will be endured," Atticus said. The words made the slightest of smirks appear at the corner of Joaquins mouth as Atticus took a seat next to Joaquin and then glanced at Hunter. "He's a little intense when he's on the job," Atticus said in passing. "How you holding up kid?"

Wayne glanced around and motioned towards the stage. "If we're gonna put on a show might as well take center stage," he laughed before walking over, striding as he went. Spinning around he sat down on the edge of the stage and set his tray aside. "Well it is not looking good people, we are only at half time and it looks like Hunter has become the hunted."
Could you nuke these three as they have nothing to do with the topic and I need it cleaned up.

Thankies!

Hospital (B): Lucy was in awe of the story. Sitting there and taking in everything that Lisa said. "Oh wow! I wonder if Cook could use her help in the kitchen! Imagine how good the bread must have tasted!" she exclaimed with a bright smile. When Lisa got to the part of the story about the dance she looked worried. She wondered herself how a frog would be able to dance to impress the king but then she started giggling. "I have no doubt she will impress everyone!" she said as she leaned back in her bed. It was clear that she was starting to get tired. It happened. The cancer took her energy and this had been an active day for her even if it was only listening to a story. Thing was she refused to close her eyes. "What happened next?" she asked brightly.

Now that they were finished going over the Bus Ride and the Initial Showering, it was time to move on to the meat of the Quarantine. Start Of Quarantine Doc and Mary were called to give their take on Hunter during the first check up plus the handing out of the Questionnaire. It was rather cut and dry. Panama was called up and gave his testimony. "Wasn't anything at first. Kid wasn't happy about the tick but who the hell would be?" Then Panama added in: "He was sitting next to her," he said pointing to Amelia. "Mentioned he was the one that he was the one that nearly got shot for thinking out loud too much."

The Professor quirked a brow. "So this was the first time this came up that you know of?"

"Yup, started real fast," Panama said before being dismissed.

At this point Amelia was called up to verify what Panama had said about Hunter and asked if he said anything else to her. After that, instead of calling others up to ask one by one, The Professor asked for a show of hands to see if anyone else heard Hunter. Wayne rose his hand as did Tatiana and Jack.

Once that was accounted for, they jumped to the Barber Sheers. The Barber Shop"Did anything happen with Mr. Monroe during the time the others in Quarantine were present?"

"Naw, he was quiet, other than asking me to give him a hair cut. I was like sure. Once I took care of shavin' the lice out of the rest they were taken back. Major stayed with me while I took care of the kid."

"And what happened?"

"Then he started prying me for information."

"How so?"

"Started out small talk. If I had been a barber before. For a second. Then he jumped right in. Asked how many people within the walls were fighters or soldiers. Asked about the General. Asked if he was strict. Said he was already on bad terms with Maddoc. Then went do far as to go 'just between you and me what's that helicopter doing outside today?' " Sheers rolled his eyes.

"This sounds like information gathering. How did you take this?"

"I asked him if he thought I was born yesterday and if I was a bitch." Panama coughed to try to cover up a laugh. "And it was clearly trying to get information, in the worst way possible. Military Intelligence this kid wasn't. Fucking stupid is what it was. Kid runs his mouth, puts people on edge, get a warning, takes it as a personal threat without seeing he was being threatening to start, says he's on Maddocs bad side, and still is pushing. If he was on Maddoc badside he would have had a bullet put in his skull. He seemed to laugh things off and still play stupid, though wondering if it's an act now. Talked about how people are untrustworthy and dogs are loyal. Kid, dogs are only loyal to the hand that feeds them."

"That's enough Sheers, you may step down." To which he did and went back to his seat. The Major was brought up next. Sworn in and asked the same.

"Da, he said 'zis."

"Anything else to add?"

"Ve were under orders not to get involved or to shoot unless life vas on 'ze line. Had not been, yes, I 'vould have shot him. Too nosey for nevcomer."

"What did you do?"

"I took him back to conference." The Professor sighed and dismissed The Major after a quick review of what happened once taken back to Conference. Conference - It was another set of cut and dry testimony just laying a time line. Tesla coming in and taking molds. Macsen coming in and giving his usual lay down of the law, nothing of which could be taken as hostile. Auntie handing out clothing and explaining how to handle things. While this time line was set down, it was mentioned about Ash asking Macsen about Thana. Thana leaned forward a little more. She wondered why they were bringing this up, did something happen with Hunter that tied to this? Thana listened intently as her father spoke during his testimony.

"Yes, Mr. Holloway asked about my daughter. Informed me that they had come there because of her. This I had been made aware of by my brother after their arrival. I was not comfortable speaking about it but I had made a promise on how to handle the situation if it did arise. I was told to keep things broad and inform any that asked simply 'she was here but she is not anymore," and let people interpret that as they would. After that I left the room."

"Thank you sir, please step down," The Professor said before glancing at her watch. "As the next part of testimony will take some time I am calling for a recess of one hour for dinner," The Professor said. The General nodded.

"Ah, yes. It sounds like a good idea. Mr. Monroe you will be taken under guard to the Mess Hall, isolated from others. Everyone else, you may go to eat. Be on time when you return. All those required for testimony, even if you have already given testimony you must return in case you are needed again. One hour people," The General said as he stood up and people started to disperse.

Nikki slid down further in her seat. She wasn't moving yet. Tatiana and Jack stood up and headed out, Jack placing a hand at his wife's lower back as they walked out. Wayne jumped up and was ready to get some chow. Thana stood up and sighed, walking quickly downstairs and waiting for Ash by the front door.

Thankfully the rain had stopped. The sky was clearing a bit. It was muggy but cooling down by this time. At least people were not going to get soaked on their way to the meal. The Mess Hall itself was clear right then, it was still an hour or so before the main dinner time, the Professor had called an early dinner to avoid too many in the Mess Hall at once.

Panama and Cage walked over to Hunter. "Come on kid, let's get you something to eat," Cage said with a jerk of his head. Joaquin stayed close, still mirroring Hunter in case he tried anything during the break.

**** Only Amelia was officially called to testify this round. Dinner break will give us a round or two to chill before we get back to it. Get your character to the Mess Hall this round. Hunter is under guard, he will be stopped from talking to others, any attempts to flee will start combat rounds. Dinner this round Soup. There are two different soups - a general vegetable that is rather spicy and a seafood chowder. They are served with a several large dinner rolls on the side of the bowls. Any questions, drop me a line.

Hospital (B): Lucy giggled. "Yeah he would, people would think he was nuts for marrying a frog! Like Mr. Maldonado and his unicorn!" she giggled. Her eyes widened. "HIS DAD SAID WHAT? Why would he want a froggy for a daughter?" She as really confused but completely invested in the story at this point. "How's a frog supposed to make things? They just go ribbit and jump?" She was really confused now.

As Lisa told her the frog changed form she clapped and laughed brightly. "Aww! She had to be so pretty I bet! Like Cinderella but better!" Hearing how the Kind acted to the rug she smiled. "She has to have a plan!" Then she seemed to get sad. "Why is he so upset? She did a good thing, he should be happy. Jerk! What happened next?" she asked wide eyed as she pulled the covers up more on her. This was the best story she had heard in ages.

As those that had been called finished up testimony for what happened during the initial meeting, the proceeded from there. Next was an account of what happened during the bus travel over there. This time they did not call any of the new comers, but stuck to the testimony of both Daytona and Atticus. Both were short, sweet, and too the point. Daytona stating that Hunter didn't say anything she could really hear and just sat in his seat from what she could tell from the driver seat. Atticus said similar, save for making a small joke about Hunters question if people were insane, which Atticus had told him everyone was a little crazy these days.

Then came time to talk about the Quarantine itself. Starting with the showers. Atticus stayed on the bench since he was witness to what happened in the showers. "Yeah, we took the males in the group to the showers. Panama and I sat down and had a smoke while we waited on Doc to show up, Maddoc brought in clothing for Jamie Newnan, the baby. Mr. Holloway asked about people serving. Mr. Monroe said he had served in the National Guard. Others of us spoke about whether or not we served. I spoke a little about my time over seas. Hunter didn't say anything else, didn't seem to try anything."

Panama was up next. "I had a fuckin' smoke. It was pretty relaxed. People don't try shit in the showers when they're all naked and you have a gun. At least not people who have half a brain. After a quick chat we were done and moved them to the main quarantine area."

Wayne went back up onto the stage, scratching his groin a bit before sitting down. "Yeah, I was there. I was feeling fucking radiant. You know how long it had been since I was able to clean my ass? It was nice to get rid of all the fucking berries holding on ya know. Oh, the kid, right. Fucker was a beanpole, still is. He asked about people serving. Yeah, I served. The famous cocksuckers brigade. Command of the all-whore detachment. I was joking damn. Told them I was a cop. Kid didn't say anything else."

Jack was called up, he sat there and nodded. "Nothing really to add. He answered Ash's question. I was taking care of my son."

After that, others were called - Ash, Nigel, Alexander, Manny, and Hank once again - They all are just asked to give their account of the shower time, linked above. Short, sweet, simple before they are dismissed and told to go back to their seats.

Hospital (B): Lucy was more than excited to hear that Lisa would be stopping by more. She liked when Lisa visited. She was always nice to her. Most people were. Even that new guy who kept swatting at the air, he told her it was a blue unicorn. That got her attention. She had even drawn a picture of what she thought it had looked like and given it to him. He was weird but she thought he was funny.

"Oh, that's a good idea!" Lucy said about drawing a picture of the sunflowers facing each other. She would have started drawing it but then Lisa started telling her a story. One she was totally caught up in. Pushing her table to the side a bit and getting up on her knees slowly. She listened intently. "A frog?" she questioned with wide eyes. "Oh, what happened next? Did he kiss the frog? Eww, I don't know if I could kiss a frog, but then again, maybe, if it turned into a prince, oh did he kiss the frog?" she asked excitedly.

The Court Martial Of Hunter Monroe

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It all seemed rather simple so far with the Court Martial. Even when the Vet was called up to give testimony about Hunter's Failure To Administer Animal Sanitation it was cut and dry. At least it seemed that way at first. As the questioning continued it was clear that DoLittle wasn't the only one that was going to be called in on this one. "Yes, the pile was left near the apartments." "New person, figured it was him." "Knocked on the door and informed him he needed to clean it up." "He cleaned it up." "I didn't report it right off because it was still steaming, quick fix." "As I was informed that he was being brought up on other charges I knew it wasn't just an isolated incident." "Yes, I had heard of complaints he made." "From Checkbook."

Nikki sank into her seat and covered her face. DoLittle was dismissed and Nikki was called back to the stand. Keeping her head down, she slipped out of her seat and walked up onto the stage again. "You realize you are still under oath?" The Professor asked.

"Yes..."

"You were the one responsible for making sure Mr. Monroe knew the requirements of Animal clean up within the walls?"

"Yes...."

"And he complained about this?"

"No!"

"He didn't complain? DoLittle informed us that you reported that he did."

"I didn't report shit..."

"Then what did you say?"

Nikki grumbled and sat up more in the seat, holding onto the edge of the chair arms. "He just needed it explained more. He was a bit disgusted about picking up dog shit with used bags. Went through why we did it, that they were sanitized and the like. Okay, sure he complained but it wasn't a real complaint. It was he didn't know what was going on thing, after that he seemed fine."

"Anything else?"

"No... Can I go now?"

"For now."

Nikki quickly slipped out of the chair and jumped down off the stage this time before scurrying back to her seat and sliding down even more. "The Gross Insubordination Charge is next. Now, to get a full understanding of this, we will be working back a bit before the charges were made. We are going to start at Mr. Monroe's first encounter with Members of Camp Mexico Beach and work from there. Maddoc Martin," The Professor said.

Maddoc pushed his chair back and went to sit down. He was quickly sworn in and took a seat. "You were the first person to speak with Mr. Monroe?"

"Yes."

"Would you tell us of the encounter."

"It was your basic pick up. He came out with the dog, we exchanged small talk, names, ect."

"It is on the record that there was conflict," The Professor said as she picked up a file. "The initial reports state that Mr. Monroe was hostile towards the group from the start and we have multiple reports of Mr. Monroe saying that you threatened him. Care to comment on this?"

Letting out a long breath Maddoc looked over to Hunter and then began to speak about that first encounter. "I was with the team, Spots/Dusty/Panama. Dusty landed when we spotted Mr. Monroe and his dog. Exiting we checked the area quickly and then spoke. I asked him his name. He told me him and his dogs name, asked if we were lost, told us he didn't know the area well, told us he didn't taste well." The Professor raised a brow. "He asked my name and then asked if that even mattered and if it was a trap. Then asked what we were doing out there with the type of fire power we had on the chopper. Kept talking for a bit about the military after that."

"And you threatened him then?"

"No. I told him our names. Then others started coming out."

"The other new comers?"

"Yes, in three other groups from three different directions."

"Threaten him then?"

"No, I asked if they were friends of his. He said no and said he hoped they were friendly and if they weren't that we had bullets in the turret. Then mentioned people pulling tricks and someone he had run across using kittens."

The Professors brows furrowed slightly as she glanced towards Hunter and then back to Maddoc. "And then you threatened him?"

"No."

"I am confused Col. We have it listed many times that you threatened Mr. Monroe, it is something he has been logged speaking out passionately many times by several guards and those in his vicinity. Did you ever threaten him during this first encounter?"

"Yes, I'm getting to it."

"What happened next?"

"I had Dusty radio in for Alpha Team. I then explained to everyone present that transport was coming in. That it could be back up if we needed it or transport for them. Told them they had to hand over all supplies and weapons and the like, board the bus. They would be taken to CMB, be put in Quarantine, given food and lodging, medical exams, skill evaluation and the like. That the General would then determine if they would be offered a permanent place. If they weren't they would be released with their things and sent on their way." Taking a breath, Maddoc continued. "Mr. Monroe then proceeded to ask why he should trust us. Fair enough question. He continued by saying that what was to stop us from gunning everyone down after we had everything from them, that he wanted to trust us but the only reason he had so far was the fact we hadn't shot them so far. Then he asked what was going to happen with his dog."

"So, Mr. Monroe was the first person to be hostile out of this introduction?"

"Perhaps not hostile. He was curious, had an attitude, and a mouth on him. He seemed to be expecting the worst and aiming to bring it out by goading people."

"Continue."

"Panama said he was probably a bit of a bitch." Panama smirked and nodded. He did say that. "Others had questions as well but we were on the clock. We had a lot of people and if the hoard that was heading that way caught up things were going to get messy."

"Did you inform them of the incoming hoard?"

"No, that falls under CMB knowledge. It was being taken care of by Beta team but it did not make us want to linger. Either way, hoard or not, we have protocol and we do not stay in the open long. That's common sense. We had already been exposed for a good period of time and needed to move. We did not have time for a pow wow." Leaning back in the seat, Maddoc continued. "I had other people I was having to speak with but I did tell Mr. Monroe that his dog would go into quarantine as well, apart from him, and checked up on and taken care of. It was about this time that Alpha team arrived - Atlas came over to us when they arrived."

"And what happened next?"

"Mr. Monroe laughed about something, not sure what. Said we would get a thank you when we proved we were who we said we were. Then he spoke about his dog getting anxious and said if anything happened to her he wouldn't forget it."

"That sounds like a threat."

"That was what I took it as. Atlas as well. He told Mr. Monroe to, I quote, shut the fuck up before I shove my trust up your ass." Atlas shrugged. "That was when I told Mr. Monroe he was a stones throw away from getting shot and to just shut up for five seconds."

"So let me be sure I have this straight. You and your team showed up. Mr. Monroe made several disturbing comments that included not tasting good, having bullets in the turret if the others were not friendly and in that telling you he had no problem with all of them being killed right then and there, that you all could gun everyone down, and so forth. Concluding with if anything happened to his dog he wouldn't forget it - this being taken as a direct threat. And then, and only then during this first encounter, did any threats happen?"

"Correct."

"And these so called threats, were?"

"Telling the kid to shut up and letting him know he had gone too far. Mostly just asking him to shut the hell up."

"What happened after that?"

"Kid shut up, got on the bus. We left."

"Anything else during that first encounter before quarantine?"

"Nope."

"Please step down."

Maddoc did just that, getting out of his seat and going back to his council seat. After that a lot of people were called. First was Spots, then Panama, then Dusty, then Atlas. All giving similar testimony. Then came the questioning of everyone else that was present for that first encounter. Tatiana was called up, she said little, stating that she did not see or hear much because they were on the other side of the chopper and she was focused on Spots as the woman was speaking about her child. Jack said similar as did Riley. Wayne admitted to telling Maddoc about his hallucination so he had actually figured half of what he had seen dealing with Hunter had been that as well. "I mean I thought the kid was being stupid but just regular stupid, guess not. Hell, I might of shot him if he had kept talking. He runs his mouth more than me." Erica was called up, more or less confirming what others had said so far and stating once again she was in no way related to Hunter before stepping down.

After that, others were called - Ash, Thalia, Amelia, Nigel, Alexander, Manny, and Hank. - They were all given the same questions as those that came before. What did you see and hear, what was your take as you watched, how were you feeling at the time, ect. (Each character that is listed will give testimony at this time about what they saw. The page where all this starts is linked above. It ends half way through page 89 for reference.)

If there is anything you have questions over or want to do, feel free to message me about it. I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. We are going to continue with the ~call multiple people~ thing for a bit longer and see how that plays out.

Hospital (B): Lucy beamed up at Lisa as she commented on her flower and the mention of her garden. She nodded enthusiastically. "Hey! I have an idea!" she exclaimed as she put the paper back down and wrote a little note at the top of her picture: Lisa's Flower. "There, now it's your flower but in my garden, now you can come visit more! You have to come see your flower!" she giggled, rather proud of herself about the entire idea.

Setting it back down she nodded slowly. "It's okay, people get busy, I'm used to it," she said sweetly. She had been in the hospital long enough now to know there were things to do and people couldn't just sit with her. It was hard but she still smiled. It just meant when people did come by it was even more fun for her. She soaked it up as much as she could.

Pulling out another flower drawing she showed it to Lisa, it was of a sunflower. "Ain't it pretty! Did you know if there is no light, sunflowers will turn to face each other? Doc told me, that's so cool!" she giggled as she picked up another flower picture and made them face each other. "Flowers kissing, it's so sweet!"

At the mention of a book or story her eyes lit up. "Yes! Story! I would love a story! Please!" she asked excitedly as she put her crayon down and put her elbows on the tray table positioned across her lap, resting her head in her hands as she waited. "Can it have a prince in it?" she asked sweetly.

The Professor nodded slightly to Nigel as his questioning finished. As she did with others. This seemed to be going smooth enough so far, save for Hunters little outburst at the start towards Nikki. Not that it was a bad outburst but she knew if it hadn't been Joaquin watching the kid he might have been shot. Joaquin was the one usually in his position. Not because he could read people, but because he always waited until the last moment to shoot and was quick enough to be able to do so. Granted if Hunter did try something, she wondered just how much trouble he could really be right then. He hadn't exactly been in town long enough to be able to get any real weight put on him. Then again, when someone had nothing left to lose they were capable of so much more than people thought. She knew this first hand.

Wayne smirked a bit and go up out of his chair as he was called out about using the bathroom. "Thanks teach, fucking prostate," he said with a shit eating grin before waltzing down the isle and out the door at the back of the room and headed down the hall a bit to the little boys room. "Right behind ya, and two urinals to the left," Wayne chuckled as he came into the bathroom.

Thana leaned forward a bit, she didn't need to go the bathroom right then. Her eyes went over the room and watched as Jack shifted in his seat some as Tatiana leaned in and whispered something against her husbands ear. Security seemed to stay where they were, save for Joaquin and Panama. Both of them moved from their position. Panama leading Hunter out of the room with Joaquin following as the mans shadow. They didn't go into the same bathroom as the others were using. Instead going down another hall to a different one. Panama waited outside of the bathroom to ensure others wouldn't enter. Joaquin followed Hunter into the bathroom and stood point, keeping an eye on him.

Things seemed alright and people came back from the restroom break. As long as nothing went down Joaquin and Hunter came back in with Hunter and returned him to his seat on the stage with the others. Once everyone was done and back in their seats, Rolodex stood up and double checked to make sure that everyone that was required to be there was. Giving a nod to The Professor, they continued. She started with Mizrahi. "Yes, was late," he said when asked if Hunter returned to his shift late from lunch as he was the person that wrote him up. (Start of Late Return) "Made clean Rosie's bathroom alone." That got a couple of pity looks to Hunter from the Council, Rosie looked at them as if to ask what the big deal was.

"Anything else?" The Professor asked.

"No, left with Volts, see Gunny," Mizrahi said in his thick accent and broken English.

"Any problems before the lunch break?"

"No write up before lunch."

"Very well, you may step down."

Volts was called up next. "Wasn't there, just took him to see Gunny. Want those details?"

"Not yet, wait until you are called for that. Anything else?"

"Unless you want to get into him referring to civilians as Privates then nope, not a chargable offense."

"Step down Volts," The Professor said before looking at Tesla. "Anything to add to that or were you not there really either?"

Leaning back in his seat from where the rest were waiting to testify he shook his head. "Nope, really didn't interact with him, can I go now?"

"No."

Tesla shrugged and closed his eyes, intending to take a nap since he really didn't have much to add testimony wise. Rosie gave her quick testimony even though she barely saw the kid, which she stated as much. The Professor looked at her list of people to question. "Ashton Holloway." That got Thana's direct attention. She had been listening but not overly so. Now that Ash was on the block her eyes stayed on him.

"Where you working in Mechanics that day?" "Did you see the defendant return from lunch?" "Was he late?" "You were working with him before lunch correct?" "Was anything said or done that would be considered dangerous or confrontational?" Ash had worked alone with Hunter during this time, so it seemed that Ash was going to get a bit more drilled than the other three had.

Hospital (B): The Hospital was quit. Not that it was ever really loud unless someone was being rushed in, but even now it was quieter than normal. Rain outside kept people from going out unless they had to and since all but the most basic staff had been given the day off because of the Court Martial, most were just sitting and doing their thing either in certain areas or at home. For the little girl Lucy, the Hospital was her home and she didn't have many people to talk to there in the hospital. There weren't any other kids around right then. It could be lonely, especially on days like this.

Lucy was a bright little girl though. Smart and happy despite everything she was going through. It was like she was a constant ray of sunshine even if she was in pain. It was uplifting in ways, to see someone so young going through so much in a world that had fallen apart still find the ability to smile or laugh showed the girl had amazing strength and spirit. Thing was, it was just as sad as it was uplifting. She was smart and she was strong, but not enough to beat this. There were truly horrible people in this world that were thriving without much issue, who didn't deserve to live, and yet she was the one that was slowly withering away each day little by little.

Looking up from the piece of paper she was putting a yellow crayon to, Lucy giggled and smiled brightly as she held her arms out to Lisa for a hug. It was how she greeted everyone that came to see her, even if it was only to change her IV's or empty her trash can. "Lisa! I'm doing great! Look what I drew!" she said in an excited voice. On the paper was a simple daisy she had drawn, she was half way through coloring the petals. "Don't have any flowers round here so I figured I'd draw my own and hang them up, make my room a garden," she said proudly.

As Hunter jumped up all eyes went to him. Wayne sitting up quickly in his seat as he figured the kid was about to get his head blown off. Thana leaned forward more in her seat, a worried look coming over her face. "Kid don't be stupid..." she muttered under her breath. Axel standing there, his eyes went to Joaquin. Joaquin, who was Hunters mirror right then didn't move. His eyes were on the kid but his hands were still clasped before him. He simply watched him, detached from any emotions, void in his emotions, but he didn't move. What Hunter had done hadn't been enough for him to make a move. Nikki stopped and looked at Hunter, she just nodded slightly, her bottom lip trembling before making sure to rush back to her seat and slide as far down in it as possible. Sure the guy had pissed her off but she didn't want him dead.

Once the little drama stopped unfolding, the Court Martial continued. The Professor stood there and nodded as Nigel agreed to the terms of the testimony and acknowledged that he understood the consequences. "Yes, Mr. Cooper,"

"coughsportacuscough," Wayne fake coughed.

The Major shot him a look but the Professor paid him no mind and continued. ""Mr. Monroe has been charged with drunken disorderly and food waste. Where you witness to these?" she asked just like she had with Nikki. After Nigel answered she went on with the rest of the questions. "What did you see?" "What happened next?" "You were the one to escort him away from the beach?" "Where did you take him when you left?" "Did anything else happen?" "Very well you may take your seat, you will be called again."

After Nigel was done Adelaide was called over. She was sworn in. Her testimony didn't take long. She confirmed she had served him, told them what she had served him, that she witnessed him palming oatmeal into his mouth after spilling it. Before her testimony was over she did add one more thing. "Listen, he may have drank all that but I was the one that was supposed to monitor how much people had. I didn't realize he was such a light weight, part of his actions are on me."

The Professor nodded, "noted." After Adelaide was Macsen, whos name was on the report. His was dry delivery in testimony. "Simple waste of food and drunken conduct," Macsen said.

Cook was up after him. She said the same as Macsen did but with more caring in her voice. "I really think the kid was just havin' a bad night, he's just a kid."

Morales followed, like others before him, he just said quickly what he saw and didn't add in much until the end. "Hey, we've all had a bad drunk, especially after being out on the road. Seemed to be beating himself up about not being able to fit in. He was trying, failing but trying."

A few random others were called up that had been there but this seemed to be a more random pooling of people that had been at the beach party but hadn't interacted with Hunter. The general consensus was they really hadn't noticed Hunter at all until he started getting really loud with his fuck nuggeting.

"Right, we will take a ten minute break and move onto to those working in Mechanics next. Mr. Maldonado, if you have to tinkle you might want to go now, take a bathroom buddy if you need help," the Professor said dryly before hitting a gavel and letting people do ahead.

Joaquin looked at Hunter as Panama came over to Hunter. "Need to take a whiz kid?" he asked real fast.
