403 has a split roof, north and south, but can be crossed with a series of sturdy planks laid across the gap. The building is not the tallest around, but it provides a good view of Westlake and one can see to the water down the road. The ground of the roof is a strange pebbly texture. Survivors have a series of plastic trashcans scattered around to catch rain for water collection, and have dragged a table and chairs up for those on guard duty to rest. New additions include a garden on the north roof with various herbs (including the 'wicked herb') as well as some attempts to grow vegetables, and a homemade pigeon coop on the south roof, with a dozen pigeons! From here you can go to: either stairwell The south stair comes all the way to the roof, while the north stair has to be accessed from a ladder.

Casey and Seth came out onto the roof, from the south stairs. The guard was nowhere to be seen - probably on the north side.
Seth- "Hey, why so glum? Remember, you said you'd come see me when I came back."
Casey- "Yeah, ... I guess I did."
Seth- "Aw geez, what's wrong? There's nothing to be sad about!"
Casey- "*snf* Yeah... I'm just... Well, I felt really good last night. I guess I'm having an emotional hangover. What's up?"
Seth- "Aw! Yeah, it was a pretty crazy night. Well, I'd like to just chat with you normal too, but I also wanted to ask you something... so I might as well get it out of the way now."
Seth plopped down on the hot, pebbly surface of the roof. He sat cris-cross style, and rubbed his face against his knees, squeezing up in a little ball for a moment. Seth- "Damn, my head hurts. I wonder if you can get bruises on your head? How would you even know?"
Casey- "Want me to massage your temples?"
Seth- "This little cop massaged my temples earlier, a few times... with his fists. Haha... Ugh."
He lifted his head up to look at Casey again. Seth- "So um, anyway... I'd really like if you and Bryce could get along better. Do you think that's possible?"
Casey- "Why would I want to get along with him?! He's a total dick."
Seth- "......... well at least you have consensus...."

Seth had to work some kind of weird magic to get the Casey to chill again, but he was a kind of weird magician. Casey- "Just... Man... Ugh."
Seth- "I know you guys have like, a personality mismatch, but it would really make me happy...."
Casey- "Why do you hang out with that guy? He's so evil! I can just tell."
Seth- "Aw man. He's not evil... He's just kinda dark, you know? Well anyway, that's neither here nor there..."
Casey- "Why isn't it important? He just isn't right for you."
Seth- "Casey, please... I don't want to get into this. I like you a lot, and I'd like to be able to hang out with you without everyone being upset."
Casey- "I'm sorry. Ugh. I'm so stupid..."
Seth- "Hey, no, you're not stupid..."
He stood and went to touch Casey on the arm friendfully. Casey turned away dramatically. Casey- "*sob* I am stupid! I let myself be all stupid emo about something that just can't be. I hate it!"
Seth- "Hey now, it's not a big deal...."
He wasn't even certain what they were talking about anymore, these drama conversations always made him feel out of his depth. Casey- "Get a hold of yourself, man!" He shook his head to clear the tears, and steeled himself. Then he turned back to Seth. Casey- "We can't hang out. Not now. I have to be alone."
Seth- "Okay man. Whatever you want."
He turned to strut back to the stairwell.

After Seth left the roof, Casey staggered behind the shack and slumped there. Casey- "I SUUUUUUCK! Arggh!" And so it went...

The next day, Bryce and Seth came out of the stairwell talking. Susie was on guard duty, and noting the gentlemen, moved to the other side of the roof to give them some privacy. Bryce- "OK... Are we flippin' alone yet?"
Seth- "Looks like it... so is there something you want to tell me?" Bryce walked swiftly to the back corner of the roof and some chairs there, and let himself fall into them. Bryce- "Remember what I told you about my parents?"
Seth- "Ummm... your mom was the manager here and... oh, is it the whole gay thing?"
Bryce- "Yes. What would you do, roomie?"
Seth- "Gehh, I dunno man. So she never met anyone you were dating?"
Bryce- "Of course she did. Man... It's posto endo the worldo, and closets are for middle class yacht pilots that don't exist anymore. But when I tell her... ffffff...."
Seth- "Well, I'll be here to support you. I had to do the same thing, not that it turned out great. If you tell her and she can't handle it, I guess she'll just have to deal, huh?"
Bryce- "Fudge this fudging shit though! I just can't stand it! Everyone loves the fudging story already, and i get to fudge up the fudging ending again!"
Seth- "Since when did you care what people think? Heh sorry, sorry... But seriously, what is she gonna do? Is she gonna flip out?"
Bryce- "Whatever she does, it will be embarrassing and horrible."
Seth- "Aw.. Hey, if you want... I could talk to her for you."
Bryce- "What?!"
Seth- "I dunno, it's not a big deal for me. I could just be like, oh by the way... What do you think?"
Bryce- "Hebbazawhuh-whuh?"
Bryce- "I say but huh whuh"
Bryce- "....Saaaaay...."
Bryce- "...That's almost crazy enough to work!"
Seth- "Okay, I got it! What if I'm like..."
Seth- "--Oh Hey Breanne, yeah, how's it going? Oh that's nice. Did you know I'm a super-gay gay guy? It's pretty cool yeah, so me and Bryce are a thing... just FYI."
Bryce- "It could use some polish, but maybe..."

ANOTHER DAY.... Beau and Chou stood on the weedside of the roof, looking out toward Lake Union. The stanky was janky, but being a smell full of life in a world full of death, it was more pleasing than it had ever been before. Ibi had made some small talk with him earlier and disappeared. Now he was alone in his contemplation.
A wily del appeared. Del- "Mm, so... Welcome back?"
Beau- "Mm? Ah, thank you. You-- oh I recognize you, you have the different hair before. Hello."
Del- "Why yes I do. What do you think?"
Beau- "It looks good to me. Funny, I go and when I come back, everyone is different. I only get my clothes dirty, haha. ...Are you feeling well? You look sad."
Del- "Oh, well, I'm starting to feel better. I came up here expecting you to be a little more sad yourself."
Beau- "I hope it is not my reputation now. Well, sometimes there are things to be sad of, I'm sure you know."
Del- "Aw, don't go that way just as I'm starting to pick up. Hey, anyhow, I was just thinking about the good ol' days. I remembered that last night you were here."
Beau- "Oh...? Ah yes! I remember, we go out to find the 'urt people. Following Chou in the night, it is quite adventurous! Usually if I do something like 'zat, no one is there to see it. It is more fun to share, yes! "
Del- "Heh, actually, that was kind of weird and horrible. But exciting. I heard you were hanging out with Casey when it started."
Beau- "That's true. I always find interesting people to talk to on 'zeh roof."
Del- "Haha. I caught that. So, like, Casey is an interesting guy, then?"
Beau- "Yes, all you young people, it is so interesting. The artists, it is interesting to think what they do now. How to make art when to most it is only to survive from each day. It is a good conversation."
Del- "Well, I'm no artist, but I know what you mean... Casey was wondering how you were, but didn't want to bother you. Thought I'd bother on his behalf."
Beau- "Ah! That is sweet, you are a good friend. Perhaps I should go say 'allo..."
Del- "Yeah, that would be cool. He's probably in the top floor community center at 320..."

Much later ...
Here, Alex watched the heavily armed (and Beau) dream team leave cozy 403 for Mummy Tower. He waved. Goodbye, friends. Come home safely!
As the group disappeared from view, he felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to visit Sarah. Where did that come from? Alex ignored it. There were more pressing matters at hand.
He had to convince Bryce's mom to be available all night! He spent a few moments planning in the fresh air.
You need a tie! She won't take you seriously without a nice, professional tie! Well, okay.

A different day, a different problem...
Patti stumbled out onto the roof and away from the pigeon coop. She plopped down onto her ass and gasped for some fresh air.
It was a little refreshing, but not really as good as not being sick would be. She made sure she was far away from the patio so nobody would have their breakfast ruined by her soundtrack.
She held her head and tried not to think too much about her pain or the other unpleasant sensations that were roiling inside of her.

On her way up, she had come past the roof guard - Kenny - who was on his way down to the Comm Center for some reason. She had the roof to herself. And pigeons, I guess. *coooo*

Alex had forgotten to come talk to Patti like she had asked, but she had heard voices below and seen that Anna was going with them.
With her concerns addressed, she laid back on the hard surface of the roof and fell asleep (passed out) with the cool marine air moving over her body.

Time moves like sand through the hourglass, that evening...Micah arrived on the roof and moved quickly to the north side. He held a plate and hoped whoever was on duty wasn't too curious. He could be collecting vegetables for something, yeah. He felt pretty devious but it was for the good of 403. The guy had a zombie tooth necklace for fucks sake. Although it would've been slightly funny if it had been Alex that the BAMF had BFFed.
Micah moved to the compost heaps, it stunk to high heaven. There slightly embedded, was the holy grail of food poisoning, the salmon mousse cakes. He picked one up, trying to not to vomit at the gross fishy stink invading his nose. He rubbed the thing generously over the clean plate and added a touch of the compost juice. Then he rubbed off any trace, if the guy didn't get sick from this, Micah would eat his hat. If he actually had a hat to eat. Micah got a couple of fishy crumbs to conceal in the good stuff. Better safe than sorry.
He'd like to think this was the first time he'd purposefully food poisoned someone. It wasn't. Now to the kitchen to transfer the food onto the spoiled plate. It would all be too easy.

Pigeon1- "Why is that human rooting in the stinky stuff? So filthy." Pigeon2- "Rats with arms, man. Rats with arms." Micah disappeared and the roof was less humany again.

The next night.Through all the initial chaos Micah elected himself to go up to the roof, it had to be safer right? Can't get pull through a roof if you're already on it. Unless a rain of crows were to come down on him a la Steven King. He did quite a loop of the roof looking down at the street for signs of the undead and kept a eye out for anything fowl. It was just a fluffy white cat, how much hate could it harbour? He'd found his table leg and held it at his shoulder. He tried not to imagine how his friends were doing within.
He certainly wasn't imagining them dancing.
((The only place I could think to put him since he was nowhere else, I hope it's okay.))

OMINOUS THUNDER!
Micah was transfixed by the sight! The ghoulish fluffy creature stood at the edge of the roof, waving a paw over the edge. What does he do?!
((Ashley is not here yet.))
