@Lady Amalthea Gotcha. :) More like test tubes and such for the experiments. I can add that in as a clarification?

Dorothy Pender

Location: Outside the Boy's Room/Cell ---> the Kitchen


Dorothy listened carefully, waiting to see if there would be any other outcries. Hearing nothing from within the cell, she quickly went back inside of the medical bay, fetching one of her medical texts. Her cleaning was largely complete, and during these rare moments, it wouldn't hurt to re-read on the various inner-workings of medical practice. Sitting outside of the cell with the textbook, Dorothy flipped to the chapter on poisonous substances, and began to read.

Cū dúsù shì fēicháng wéixiǎn de, dàn zài mǒu xiē yīliáo shíjiàn zhōng kěyǐ yòng yú mǒu xiē yōushì. Běn gōngzuò de mùdì shì liǎojiě zhè zhǒng dúsù de gè zhǒng liúxíng bìng xué, línchuáng hé bìnglǐ shēnglǐxué fāngmiàn, bìng quèrèn qí zuì yǒuxiào de yòngtú.

Turning the page, Dorothy mused on the topic. It was a discussion of the use of botulinum toxin as a medicine, rather than a poison. The date on the article was dreadfully old, but it had been important enough to include in one of her texts. She continued to read on, enjoying the refresher of her knowledge, but equally troubled that she may come across some fact that would not bode well for the Captain. Dorothy hadn't been notified as to whether or not the Captain would need additional assistance--she decided to take that as a sign of Anisa's quick recovery.

"Would you please quit hollering?" Dorothy groaned, hearing the kid start to act up again as the ship sputters to life. She rolled her eyes slightly, imagining that Gideon had just hit the console until it turned on. "I can't hear myself think with that gorrham racket!"

But that hardly seemed to help. The boy was banging on the door, and Dorothy could make out what he was saying--barely. Seemed the kid wanted something to eat. She let out a sigh, half tempted to let him starve, but the bangs were getting to be irritating. It was her only time to read, and here he was, making it impossible for her to concentrate. Putting her book down, Dorothy pondered going into the Med Bay, and simply getting the kid a glass of water. But her occupation got the best of her--he needed actual food--and she decided to head up to the kitchen to fetch something.

Yet as she heard the yelling as she approached the kitchen, Dorothy couldn't help but wince. She should've let the kid tough it out. She did not need to be there when Anisa was pissed.


Nora Kingston

Location: Egyptian Museum


Of all the strange, strange happenings, perhaps the return from the grave was a small comfort. Nora, as much as she despised the fantasies of fiction, read more dime novels than she assumed could be in good taste. Among these, she had once become enthralled with the mind of Sherlock Holmes. The possibility of a man returning from the grave, as far as Nora was concerned, was an easy event. Medical records and death reports were remarkably faulty. She had heard tale of dead men still returning home from the United States' Civil War as much as twenty years after the funeral service had concluded.

That wasn't to say that it wasn't peculiar, of course. Nora merely kept to herself, rather than flinging herself at the newcomer as the starlet did, or attempting to find some sort of story as the reporter did. The highly structured class based society of England forbid such transgressions entirely. It may have been different in America, Nora was aware, but she couldn't help but feel dismayed at the conduct. If her dear brother Ernest had returned from the grave, such interruptions of a reunion would have been absolutely horrid.

She carefully observed the happy reunion, noting the elongated scar on the gentleman--Peter--that marred his face. The talks of drunken fights at the memorial, accompanied with ernest and sincere hugs, lead Nora to wonder whether or not Peter had supposedly met the same fate as her dear brother. His turns of phrase, at the very least, were most amusing--his implication that Miss Clark made her means through sexual gratification brought a little glimmer to Nora's eyes. With the way the American actress behaved, it was an exceptionally easy mistake to be made.

As the Lord Major once again insisted that they leave, Nora paused for a moment. Lady Munn had asked for her to stay behind in order to assist her, but she wondered whether or not the Lady Munn would much appreciate some privacy with Peter, whom Nora assumed to be of some close relation to Vera. But it seemed equally improper for her to interject with this heartfelt reunion. The sounding of her voice may shatter the joy and happiness just as much as the starlet and the journalist had, Nora feared.

But perhaps conventions could slide slightly, for this most extraordinary occasion. And if she did make a misstep, so be it. "Pardon me for inquiring, but Lady Munn, will you still be needing my assistance or shall I wait with the others? I would not be so bold as to intrude upon your most happy and decidedly deserved reunion."
@Pundii: Day 6!
Working on my character now. :) Just putting it out here that I'm using Bella Heathcote as my faceclaim for Lady Virginia Crypt.
@Pundii: On day 5
@Witch Cat: On day 7, with 2 day extension.
@Witch Cat Granted, as I'm feeling merciful at the moment. ;)


Jack Hudson

Location: Building 7 (Rec Center)


It took Jack just a second to figure out who Bazhooli was talking about. Bridgette, the Viking chick he had helped with the wall. Remembering her final comments, Jack grimaced slightly. That probably wouldn't be the best idea. And the thought of bribing girls to strip for them hardly made him comfortable. "Let's not have any strippahs, maybe," Jack suggested. They didn't need strippers to have a good time, after all.

He tossed Bazhooli pins as he asked for them, and as the door opened and Tatiana walked inside, he couldn't help but beam again. There she was, perfectly fine, and looking more and more adjusted to life in Newnan with each minute that passed. From what Jack could tell, she'd made friends with the other girls, and he nodded at everyone who entered the Rec Center, but it was clear who he was looking at.


Édouard Riviere

Location: The Infirmary (Franklin)


Confused. That was one word to describe Édouard at the moment. Despite all of Lyon's teasings, here Sana was, giving him careful instructions in French and moving his hand around. It wasn't as if he wasn't able to respond--he was able to do things, despite popular belief. Breathing was something he excelled at, for example. And there had been some sword injuries in Cyprus, it hadn't seemed to difficult to him to put pressure on a wound.

But that wasn't the source of his confusion. No, he felt confused when Sana put her hand on his shoulder, when she gave him a smile, and told him thank you. What was that all about? However, his thinking was cut short by Ray's groans of pain. Édouard rolled his eyes, tempted to kick the injured man, for interrupting his thoughts. "Tais-toi!" Édouard snapped.

What did it all mean? He kept thinking over that as some left the infirmary, off to do some task that he couldn't care less about. He noticed that Ray was losing blood, and he figured the man was likely to die. He remembered hearing once that organ harvesting could be done when people died--perhaps they'd make Ray's kidney into stew? It was a disgusting thought, but Americans did rather strange things. And it wasn't as if Édouard bothered to properly understand them.

"Il va mourir," Édouard said plainly, still doing as Sana asked him to. "C'est inutile."




Tryke Lockley

Location: the Woods


As Tryke dangled like a piñata, an appetizing snack for the next group of walkers to come near, she tried her best to practice the noble virtue of patience. If there was anything the young engineer wanted to do, it was the struggle and attempt to get free from the trap, but it would have been a fatal effort. It would only call more walkers over, ensuring her death. This wasn't the way she expected to go. She thought, back before the world had decided to show her how fucked up it could really get, that she'd die because of her asshole boss. He was a real piece of shit, and likely would've insisted on her doing something that would get her killed.

But here she was, dangling from her ankle. "Fuck me," Tryke groaned, able to spot where she had stashed her meager supplies, her bat on the ground. She had gone off the main road in order to camp, as well as make some minor repairs to her bike. It was in fairly good condition, but she wanted it to be even better. And of course, just when it looked like she was catching a break, karma decided to bite her in the ass.

Still, she wasn't too bad at climbing. Eyeing the branches of the trees, Tryke let herself swing more. If she got enough momentum, she figured, she'd be able to catch the branch and haul herself up. And if the rope or the branch snapped, maybe she'd be lucky and crack her skull open. Tryke and the world were having a bit of a hate-hate relationship lately, anyways.

"Please don't be cannibals," Tryke muttered under her breath. "Please don't be fucking cannibals." Entering the woods, she saw three people, in perhaps the oddest grouping ever. It looked like something a fantasy-apocalypse nerd would have come up with, the very people Tryke spent her time working with, before this happened. The girls looked like they stepped out of a Viking convention, contrasting with the dark skinned man with the gun.

And of course, one of them was holding a fucking axe. Tryke shut her eyes tightly, hoping that when she opened them, this all would be a dream, and she'd be back in the "garage" with Tristan breathing down her neck constantly. But when she opened her eyes, the Vikings and their friend still were there. She tried not to scoff at the notion of yoga bullshit, trying her best to keep her temper. At least they didn't seem to be cannibals.

"Yes, yes, I need help," Tryke said, trying her best not to get angry. She had always been a bit short fused, but truthfully, getting cut down before any walkers came was a good enough reason to keep her temper in check. Besides, she didn't feel like being shot or chopped into pieces with an axe. However, as she heard one of the women say they wouldn't cut her down yet, she felt her temper flare a bit. "I'm an engineer, I can fix your shit if you cut me down?" she bargained, thinking that perhaps they'd need a service performed for the favor.
