"I had a wee incident with a zombie parasite, I'm right as rain now but the wounds made me squeamish. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Well, goodluck to you then. Non-magical defense has veen working just fine though."

Vars- "What sort of defenses do you deploy? We put up an electric fence, but that's more for human invaders trying to steal some of the good stuff." Vars gets up slowly. and then makes to follow him, limping only slightly. Evidently, he wasn't badly injured. The dim lighting from the fading living-room bulb caught his face in a flattering way for only a moment, though as he passed through the doorframe into relative darkness, the shadows caught the bags under his eyes and his crow's feet... "I can help you fortify, if...the ladies of the house aren't opposed...Or teach you some good juju.." He snaps his fingers and smiles.

"Sounds splendid, I'll give you a tour in the morning and we'll see what we can do. Goodnight, I'm off to bed I'm afraid." Rob headed to Breg's room with a weary wave.

Vars went back to his couch, and the room went quiet. The night passed uneventfully and lead to a beautiful morning the next day. Ashley- Ashley was awake early the next morning, and had all of his gear set. He wondered if Mr. Friskers was hungry in his absence. He had only left a handful of food out in the evening.. And without a helping human hand, the litterbox was probably stinky.
He did a brief check on Patti to see if she was awake; if she wasn't, he decided not to wake her, and instead, to eat an energy bar from his backpack. That chocolate mint crunch flavor never grew old. Vars- "Hey old man. What gets you up at the wee hours of the night?" Ashley- "It's 6 am, or close to it, and I hope I'm not that old. How is your..uh..leg?" Vars- "It's good..." Hali- Hali had been completely caterpillared in blankets at Vars' side on the couch, and awakens slowly. "Good morning to you too..." Ashley- Ashley spent a moment trying to figure them out, and then smiled awkward when he realized what was going on. "Oh... you weren't hurt were you? Good morning..."

Patti strolled in a few minutes later. Her arm was THROBBING, but nothing in her expression or carriage gave it away. Ash recognized a certain breathing technique she used when she was suppressing pain, but he also knew she did that when she didn't want anyone to make a big deal out of it.
She set her pack down against the wall and fished out an energy bar. Chocolate Mint Crunch. Barf. How did that even get in there. She scowled playfully and threw the thing at Ash."This sabotage will not be forgotten." Before going back to her bag, she checked one of her cargo pockets and found a cranberry almond flax bar, which was much more to her liking. She smiled politely at the two folks on the couch and sat down on a chair across from them.
She opened her energy bar and began nibbling."Is everybody feeling a little better this morning?"

Ashley- Ashley grinned, even as he was hit in the side of the head with the wrapped bar. It did nothing to dampen his mood. "I have no idea." Vars- "Oh, hello Ms. Patti. Everything is all quiet in the Southern Shore, if you know what I mean. No, it's all good, I didn't even get hurt as much as you guys did." Hali- "I didn't get hurt at all. Good morning, Did you sleep well miss? Do you still want those silver bullets? They're yours to have.. maybe they'll serve you well with another weapon." Breg- Breg wandered through the livingroom in a daze. The noise below had woken him up before his normal morning time. "Good morning... I'll just.. wake up the goats and get some eggs... " He offers sleepily.

"You should hang on to those bullets. I don't think we've got any .45s anyway. We've collected some silver during our scavenging missions, once we had an idea that ritual magic was real. Not sure if Nat has used it for anything yet. We might consider making some bullets but the point blank shotgun and car seemed to do the needed deed, so..." She nibbled on the energy bar absently.

Rob entered the room yawning politely under a hand. He was wearing cool hipster clothes and seemed to have regained some of his swagger ( #SWAG). He raised an eyebrow at the eating of energy bars as he made his way to see what the kitchen had to offer."Good morning chaps, you know we have food here right? Like real food. You're our guests after all, could we at least offer you a cup of tea?"

"Actually, that sounds nice, unless you have coffee. We've got a long, steep haul to the other side of the hill and back to our place, so the protein bars are a good supplement to real food. It's also kind of a habit."

Hali- "There will be eggs too. That's what the tall woman said." Hali peers over the back of the couch to eagerly await Breg's return, his spritely frame poised bent over the reclining body of Vars in the process. Vars- "Oh, that was open to us too? I suppose only guests were present when it was offered." Ashley- "Eating a protein bar hardly would spoil my appetite. Do you have bread?" He tried not to stare too much at the men on the couch using one another as recliners, and instead, eagerly awaited the return of the eggs and milk. Did they have meat too? Where there was animals, there was meat. Rob finds some uneaten eggs from yesterday sitting out, along with yesterday's milk which was trying to make itself into cheese (or was someone trying to make it into cheese?) in a bucket nearby, a few misshapen vegetables, and half of a beautiful loaf of homemade bread with dried cranberries in it. Breg- Breg returns with a fresh bucket of milk (the bucket wasn't even half full, but it was enough as long as people weren't set on drinking glasses of goat milk), and a basket of eggs. The eggs ranged from speckled blue to brown, and then shook his head at the couchgoers. "I'll have something ready soon enough. Isa is probably cleaning upstairs, but she'll come down when she feels like it. How is everyone feeling? I have some Advil if anyone wants some... You'll have to ask Sister Blaze if you want anything more potent." Vars- "I'll take two tokes and some booze." He grins mischeviously. Breg- "Even I know that alcohol doesn't mix well with opiates. Be careful if she gave you anything prescription to help with your pain." Breg smiles at their guests. "Any requests before I attempt cooking? We have toast, eggs, canned meat, and some milk...and I think Isa is trying to make cheese..."

"I think my friends would kill me if I didn't ask, are you breeding your goats? And if you are, would you consider letting us negotiate a deal for a few in the future? Many of us very sorely miss milk, cheese, and especially butter. I don't really know anything about raising them, but I'm sure somebody does and we would be interested." "Right now, we just have chickens, which you apparently do as well. Some pigeons, though I'm not really sure why we keep them. Maybe Micah is a squab snob and isn't sharing it with the rest of us."

Breg- "We only have three does right now, and three little ones, plus one buck. I think the girls were pregnant when we got them, because otherwise it would be strange to have spontaneous babies! We hope to keep breeding them, maybe it'll give us a little more milk in the future. I don't see why we couldn't negotiate something, if you can tolerate the taste. A few people here, like Chen, weren't into it... Do you have enough vegetables and grass to feed them?" Breg gestures outside, where one of the does bleats for her morning meal. Grass growing outside was apparently not even close to enough to sate her appetite. "We've had some grumblings about eating them too, but I don't think that's a good idea."

"We could walk them to the park or lake every day, I suppose."

Breg- "...I don't see why not. I don't know what the relationship between the goats is exactly, and if they're related or not...It might make the next few generations...interesting...Let me finish making breakfast, and then we can talk goats. I wouldn't mind in the least, but maybe we should bring it up in front of some of the other community members when we get something to eat." Breg shuffles to the kitchen to get cooking. Eggs on cranberry toast, cottage cheese(?), milk, coffee, tea, and spam for anyone who wanted it. "Now... I wouldn't mind a bit if you brought it up with your home camp."

Ashley- Ashley has no comment, as he gobbles down his toast, egg, and gives himself a nice portion of spam on top of it. Does it taste good? Did that matter? It must go well with the mint chocolate crunch protein bar already in his stomach. Vars- "Oh, some tense dealings!" Hali- Hali slurped down his eggs in reply. Sylvia- "Good morning...Oh...um...Breg..better let Isa do the cooking next time..." She smiles, and eats an egg and a piece of toast anyways. Keeping LEAN AND MEAN.... Blaze- "Good morning. How is everyone feeling." Sister Blaze appeared on the top of the stairs like a ghost. A ghost carrying a cane.
