Early, early in the morning... Chantelle hadn't even come in just yet, though dull sounds of stirring could be heard from her end of the floor. Peg sat on a couch in the darkness. Asleep with her eyes open? She didn't register Seth. He stopped by the pantry and packed up a few water bottles and snacks (ahalf-eaten bag of Frosted Mini-wheats) before stepping back into the main room and lightly clearing his throat. She looked over to him, head swiveling weakly on her shoulders. Peg- "Seth? Oh, oh, is it time?"
Seth- (nodded) "Yup. It's gonna be an adventure." She rose slowly to her feet, and assumed control of her senses quickly.
Peg- "I'll need something to eat other than Tums before we go. It'll just be a second." She grabbed some pieces of bread in the kitchen and smeared them with margarine, and turned to start eating them as they went. The two left for
... THA STREETS!

Ashley enters the now empty community center to start exercising. He felt less awkward doing it with no audience, and more room, and started thinking about how he was going to explain how best to approach learning how to exercise.

Other early risin' exercisers like Patti probably filed in soon after, then Chantelle posted the Work Sign-up sheet, and started sorting out the food situation.
Every meal since the raid of the Jimmy Johns had incorporated bread. That stuff was going to go bad, so Chantelle was making mad croutons, weird hors d'ouevres, exotically spiced bread sticks, and so on. And of course, using some egg too. She pondered whether breakfast should include french toast, knowing it would be a huge challenge. Chantelle- "French toast! I'm going to do it or die trying!"

Patti had slept in much later than usual, but still before most other folks. Her hammer swinging elbow was fucking throbbing and even jostling it hurt, so no stairs either. She was dressed in her mustache shirt again, letting the other stuff air out. She considered doing laundry, but the thought of trying to scrub her shirts with the bad arm ended that quickly. Arriving in the community center, she saw Ash doing some one armed planks, keeping his bum arm close to his side. Chantelle was already up, slicing some bread and making some sort of toast. To Chantelle - "Hey, d'you think you could make me some ghetto lady fingers? It's just some buttery cinnamon toast cut in strips, perfect for dipping in... hot cocoa if we've got any laying around. Thanks. I'd help but I can hardly move my arm at all. Gonna have to see one of the docs today. D'you sleep alright?" While talking with Chantelle, she walked over to the job board and scribbled a few things on there.

Ashley finishes his set, and then stands up. "Greene. Did you catch the excitement last night?" He asked, as he obviously got there long after all the action had calmed down. He seemed a little pale, so much as moving the injured and bruised area hurt like none other, but he couldn't bear to wither away. "Who was that man?"

tab When Ben arrived he went to the jobs list as usual, and raised an eyebrow at the message Alex had left for him. Teach someone how to sword fight? He wasn't a teacher or a sensei, he was just a student, and not even one of the better ones. And from what Ben had seen, it didn't really look as if Alex needed help in the fighting department. tab Could Ben really accept this responsibility? Best way to find out would probably be to sign up for the same mission, so Alex could see if Ben had anything to teach him. And perhaps it was time to get out there and see what it was like? Maybe next time there would be hundreds of zombies coming by... tab Ben scribbled his name on the list and smiled as he picked up the origami shuriken. Then he went to get some breakfast, nodding and waving at people as he went along.

"I missed all the action. Probably a good thing, what with my arm all gimped up." "That was Sharma. He was here when I got here, but left the same day with a group of three others. He's the only one that made it back."

"Where was he trying to go?" He asks, crossing his arms. "I was trying to count the number of deadites from up there and I managed to spot him. Good thing too." He says simply, almost without a lot of focus, come to think of it. "Nice haircut." His hair wasn't approaching long yet, thankfully.

"I don't know where they were headed, exactly. To retrieve someone's family and get out of Dodge. I still think getting out of town is the safest thing to do, but it might be easier as a solo trip than in a group. I don't know."

"Trip had my hopes up. Thought I might find good men alive. Instead I found a bunch of assholes. I don't know what I'd do if I found Mannheim alive there. Might have been less of a quick decision. " His lip curled a little over slightly crooked, yellow teeth. "I wonder if there are any more of those things that hurt your arm out there. I haven't seen any."

Alex joined Patti and Ash for breakfast. Like the night before, he made this face ... ... and said, "Missus Patti, your hair looks even BETTER in the daylight!" Evidently, he really liked her shorter hair. As they ate, Alex sneakily watched the chore board until Ben approached it, wrote something, and took the origami ninja star. That was a good sign! "I'm going to be a knight now, Mr. Ashley," he said.

Ashley- He raises a single eyebrow, which happened to have a scab on it. "A knight?" He seems confused as to what he means, and then remembers the bit about the sword. "Do you have a sword?" He asks. he supposes almost anything can be used as a weapon. Maybe a sword. A chainsaw sounded like a better idea to him.

"Not yet," Alex said. "But I will." He sounded very sure of this. "And even if I don't find one, I'll learn how to think like a warrior. Calm and composed and stuff. It's all about inner strength. About that mummy kid, well, I was thinking ... uh, never mind. It's kind of a dark subject for breakfast."

"You don't need to be a knight to be a warrior. Listen, I've gotten in fights before, I could teach you barehanded." He closes his good hand into a fist and gingerly closes the other, trying to get into stance. Tensing too much hurt. "...Mummy kid? I didn't hear about that. Why am I last to hear all this news?" He asks, sliding back into a legs-together posture and crossing his arms. "Say something, it's a perfect subject for breakfast."
