"It's the fifth, I think. Hard to know without my cell phone. Whoa, wait, today's your birthday? Hey! We gotta find some cake." Alex exhaled with sympathy. Poor Nat. Not much of a happy birthday, huh? "I was studying at Seattle U. Second year there, so, ah, guess I don’t know any of your friends from Central. But if this Ari looks like me, he must be one handsome son of a gun." Alex grinned and pointed to himself. "Am I right, or am I right?" Okay, so pride and vanity were sins. But Alex was damn grateful for his face, considering how frightening his dad looked. Well, the Good Lord worked in mysterious ways. Really, Alex more closely resembled his Uncle Brick, Dad's half-brother. The guy was a textbook black sheep; he made a killing in backroom poker games and lived in a van. Obviously, Alex's parents rarely mentioned his uncle. They didn't even pray for him. Well, as Emil always said, que sera, sera. "I don’t want to be rude," Alex said, looking between Nat and Sarah, "but are you two, ah, are you guys dating?"

"Oh. Um. No-no. It's the sixth," he barked a laugh, it was a somewhat depressing sound. "I, uh, I guess I wasn't planning on doing anything for it, anyway. So, um..." Nat trailed off, letting Alex talk. He smiled a little at that 'handsome son of a gun' comment. "Um, yeah, I, uh, I think so, anyway. I-I mean, you know, he was-er, is. Always had people fawning over him, um..." Nat's face flushed a little, embarrased, and shook his head. "They um, all of them, probably have people to worry about, too... I, uh, well I'd like to think they can handle themselves, y-you know?" Nat blinked at Alex's last question. Then blinked at Sarah, looking a touch uncertain. "Um. No? We, uh, we're friends, and we work... um, worked together?" While he had, occasionally, entertained the idea, he had never approached her about the prospect. It was too weird - she was his friend, and he didn't want to screw that up. "Um, so I mean, it um. It shouldn't be that awkward, the three of us rooming together, right?"

Alex shook his head. "Nah. Not awkward. It's not like we'll be in the same bed ahaha! Emiliano said I sleep talk sometimes, but it's all boring stuff. Look, I know everything's gone to ... hell lately. But you need a piece of cake tomorrow, anyway. Oh! I'll ask the woman who made this breakfast."

To Chantelle."Can I try some? That's not a bad idea, we could knock up some Biltong or something. The meat would last longer." Chantelle- "Knock up som-? Oh, I think I get it. A big problem with that is we don't have the best equipment for drying meat. We can try to recreate some ancient Indian techniques, but that raises my food safety hackles.
Turkey, on the other hand, dries up like Death Valley almost any way you cook it."
The turkey crisps were really good. The meat was dry but the thin cut plus the oil in the breading made them very easy to eat. To Alex."No fucking way. In Australia we ride kangaroos and hunt dropbears with boomerangs duh!" He grinned.

Alex chuckled and reached for some of that delicious meat, himself. "I don't know what a dropbear is. But I'm being serious now. Really, do you have any interests besides cursing and making food?"

"Sure, I practice parkour, hang out in cafes, listen to music, go out to clubs and attend the occasional convention or concert. What do you do besides play board games for ridiculous amounts of time ?" Chantelle- "Haha... We can make this place into a club. I know it!"

Alex grinned at Chantelle. "Like the Cicada Club?" In response to Micah's question, he said, “Haven't had time for many hobbies or anything exciting lately. Uh, this End Times business doesn't count. My day's usually morning and evening practice with the team. American baseball team. Then studying. I'm a straight B-minus student." He smiled. "Emil and I like to do Guitar Hero and DDR on the weekends. Oh, I bought a Wii last month, but we only use it for the sports games." Alex tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Me and my ex-girlfriend took dance lessons for a couple years. It was the only time I could touch her without enraging the Lord." He laughed. "At least, that's what Mom and Dad said." Whenever Micah is done with Chatty Chatterson Alex, I can move this back in the canon thread.

The dark-haired bubbly woman approached Alex Ione- "Hi there! I'm Ione, I really liked hearing from you during the meeting earlier, you sound so intelligent. What's your name?"

After Seth wrote his name on the board with a sigh, he approached the Doctor. Seth- "Hello there Doctor. Do you prefer 'Doctor?' Anyway, I'm really glad you're coming along to the Research center tomorrow. If you get the chance, maybe make up a list of medications we can look for. Marie wanted to go but I said no way with her feet like that. She's going to make up a bunch of notes for us, and brief us, since she worked there. She bets there will still be a lot of employees holed up in there. What do you think? Is there something I can help you with?"

Intelligent? Alex had been called many things, but intelligent wasn't common. Well, he did ace all his foreign language classes. He smiled and put out a hand to shake. "I'm Alex, Miss Ione. Hey, what proposal was yours? I don't think Ms. Marie cares if we talk about that anymore, and it's been bugging me."

Ione shook Alex's hand eagerly and with a smile full of perfectly aligned teeth. Ione "Oh yes, haha, I don't see what the big deal is either. I wrote the one everyone made fun of, about how I was in FBLA and DECA. I just thought it would be good to cite my references you know? Oh well. I hope I can still help out around here, I think I'm really good at organizing people. I was interning at Amazon to do just that. But now..." She looked a little dejected, sighed and brought back her smile to full beam."I try to not let that get me down though, I think we'll be able to get things back to normal. How about you? Are you from around here?"
