Basil- "Why deny my bitter truths, laid bare by the serpent tongue of a babe? I spent my days with the lonely consolation of photo-something centaur pornography. My soul died with the digital age."

"Oh, come on, old man, there are surely more interesting things than a shoddy taste in pornography, or even the lack of wit coming from mop-headed children." Basil- "Well, of course, but... Uh, what are you lookin..?"
Dr. Victor shot a gaze through Tyrone's chest with the laser-precision that only a mother could muster when locating and disciplining her children. He clasped the man across the shoulders, offering a slight shrug. He began to move around the room with Basil in tow. Basil- "I say!"
"Come now, out with it. I'm sure between you and me, it must have been far better than any of those guys could have imagined, right? A dog like you must have a hundred stories. I bet Seth hasn't even heard more than two of them." Basil- "Well, now that you mention it, I've been around the Pacific Rim a few times..."
He's a strapping young man, our leader, is he not? He could use your comforting guidance now we've almost doubled our number, I bet." Basil- "Maybe so, though I feel my kindness is better spent on the more helpless of our number..."
Dr. Victor changed tactics suddenly, his eyes growing wide with excitement. "Maybe you could ask his personal assistant, if he remembers his manners, for an appointment? I bet Bryce just doesn't really know what you can do for him, anyways. He's lost his family, you know, and he's pretty much adrift at sea here." He spoke the latter portion with a little hushed tones, trying not to draw Seth's or Bryce's attention over on him. Basil- "Bryce! ... I hadn't taken much notice of him before tonight... The poor soul looks quite lost indeed."

Meanwhile... Anna- "Damn kids, can't believe you were sleeping in the lab. Why not go up to the cushy-ass chairs on the 7th?"
Briar- "We wanted to stay close to the windows..."
Lashonda- "I dunno why those creeps left you up there alive. A swarm of monsters downstairs, and they never just made that trip."
Briar shook her head with a sad, confused look.
Briar- "I know... Early on we barricaded the stair doors with chairs, but pretty soon we realized that nothing was going to come up. People were going crazy, we had a few more kids upstairs but..." She shook her head again and closed her eyes.Ibi- "I'm just glad sounds like that's not something that happens all over the place. Those zombies are bad enough, but I could almost get used to them after all that."
Lashonda- "Yeah, I can't imagine being up there without knowing that fire worked on them. That would feel like.. so hopeless."
Jonah- "We probably shouldn't talk about that..."
Lashonda- "Oh hell, why am I pickin' at your scabs? I'm a bastard. Just, take it easy. We got a lotta wine."
Anna- "That we do. Yeah you kids got some real determination stayin' up there. Man, that coulda been me if I was lurking around the video lab after hours. Shit..."
Ibi- "*sigh* Yeah. I think maybe we should stop talking about it. Ah.. We need a kind savior for our strained minds. Preferably, in a hydroponic operation."
Anna- "Ain't it the truth. Well, we keep raiding buildings, you know we're gonna find something someday. Probably be better time spent than trying to grow some fuckin' carrots or whatever."
Jackson- "Aww... Okay, if carrots don't grow great here, we can find something that's climate appropriate! I'm sure, potatoes maybe... Okay and pot."
Lashonda- "Base just makes me tired. You hippies can keep it."
Briar- "So you all just go around outside, going into buildings looking for stuff to use? Oh man, that sounds so scary. You must be really brave."
Jackson- "Oh yeah. We're pretty much superheroes. But really, it's okay for people to not feel up to it. It can be pretty grim out there, but most of the time it's not hard at all. Really."
Briar smiled appreciatively at Jackson's calming words. Ibi- "Yeah... I dunno if I can do that myself. Haha... I feel like pretty much the worst wuss ever. I'm bigger than everyone who showed up out there today. I just don't have the mental fortitude for that kinda work. It's somethin' else..."
Briar- "Oh my gosh, I'm sure you've all seen what Anna can do but... It was just amazing! Fighting those ghosts without even flinching. I don't know how you do it! It's really inspirational. "
Anna- "...Yeah, I was pretty cool."

Dr. Victor took leave of Basil to intercept Seth for a brief moment. "So, is this an impromptu shindig or shall this become a more formal occasion? The day is young, right? No point in trying to do anything else, might as well have a good time. I'm sure there are plenty of people who are of age among the new group and I've checked out the Colonel and his family. What do you say, Seth?" Seth- "Oh well, you know we're not big on formality here. I think it'll just be a little meet and greet. No need to dress up or anything."
"I think I should spare a word with Alex on manners at least. I do hope that whole thing between him and Ione has blown over. I wonder if she's still loitering about with Lilla?" Seth- "I'm sure it's fine. He's a charming young lad. I'm sure those two will be here in a moment if they hear there's new people to chat to."
"Say, I guess I should see Marie at some point and maybe Kerry or Floretta will take a turn helping Zoe off to bed tonight? She needs some spirits and to let that sass all fall out. Patti, too. Oh, look at that! She took her hair off. Letting your hair down... taking it off... close enough, right?" The good doctor offered her a raised glass and congenial smile. Seth- "Yeah a lot of people talking about makeovers these days. How long until the assless chaps, amirite? Haha."
He gave Seth a good pat on the back. His face a little less bemused than before as he added, "Micah, he's going to be all right..." Even though it came out as a question, it held the firmness of a statement. Seth- "Oh good. Didn't see anything too life-changingly nightmarish then, I'm guessing."

Ashley walked down from the roof, and up to Patti, before picking up a glass. "Hey Greene... I am trying to get that cat to come in with some food." He remarks offhandedly. They had both seen the cat after all. He takes a drink and glances sidewise at the others, obviously not part of their conversation. "Would you come with me jogging, I was thinking of doing some stairclimbing." He offers, trying to sound casual. He drank the water thoughtfully. He did not help much. He felt rather emasculated, honestly.

She nodded to Ash's comments. "D'you mean now? Yikes. I don't know that I could run with half a glass of wine in me. If you mean tomorrow and thereafter, absolutely."

"Tomorrow...early maybe. I don't have any watch but I do the dawn patrol now and then. I still have my jogging clothes." He seems to find this amusing, at least. "I might be going crazy from sitting around, have to think of something to do. I have the exercise classes planned out, was thinking about teaching a little hand to hand in case we're in a pinch again. I promise it'll be more useful than whatever slip-up gave me this." He pats the area near his bullet wound, and half-grins.

Tyrone- "Help me Kaito, I'm surrounded by white people."
Kaito- "Nn... no."
Tyrone- "Jus' kiddin' folk, you're all lovela. Hey, who wants a drink?"
Sarah- "I do! Thanks!"
These guys- "Us too!"
Tyrone- "I'm a have my hands full." Things progressed and digressed but hopefully didn't regress. Meanwhile, Bryce came over to Seth and touched his arm firmly. Bryce- "Hey, uh, I have business with you. Gotta, like, work out my assistant contract." His eyes were a bit wide.
Seth- He looked confused for a moment. "What? You don't have to... Oh, sure. Wanna go talk somewhere?" He extricated himself from Doc Vic &/or whoever and they went toward some couches a little ways off. But they didn't get far before they got a face full of bulgy-eyed fuck! Col. Teddy- "EX-cuse me, sir. I am given to understand that you are the elected leader of this outfit, correct?"
Seth- "That's right. You're part of our other new group. Do you need something?"
Col. Teddy- "A proper appraisal of the circumstance, I'd say! I'm an officer in the United States Army. I haven't been properly debriefed since this madness began. What do you have to say?"
Bryce- "It's better to burrrrn out than to fade away."
Seth- "Ah, uh, yeah. We really should have a group meeting in the morning. Has your family been set up with a room?"
Col. Teddy- "Yes, well, but still..." Colonel Teddy annoyed the shit out of themfor like five minutes before they managed to bail. Seth- After he was certain Teddy was out of earshot, he said, "Man, what a bitch."
Bryce- "For real. Real recognize real. But that's neither here nor there. Work with me."
Seth- "Oh yeah, what were we talking about?"
Bryce- "Negotiating my contract. It's pay to play. Or just getting the hell out of here. I wanna talk to you. For real."
Seth- He glanced at the Cornish kids, noticing they had begun to look like wax sculptures. He got everyone's attention while Bryce shrank away. "Y'all can stay and chat, but we should probably let these kids get to bed. It's been a rough day."
Ione- "Awww! OK, President! We'll take care of them! "
Sarah- "Really, we will!" People began to comply, and Seth went with Bryce to the 5th floor thread.

Chantelle, Sarah, and Ione began hunting down Cornish kids to send them to Little Nemo's locker. Other people gave boozy cheers to the departing heroes.

Dr. Victor made a few more choice comments on the alcohol, weather, and such nonsense, moving slowly towards his room. He pursed his lips, sticking his head around the corner towards the patio and nodded to himself slowly. He bid a few people a good night, notably Patti, Ione and Casey. "All right. The doctor is out. At least for now... I think I've been awake for... hrm... somewhere on seventy-two hours? Wait, less than that. Okay, Casey, I'll see you tomorrow for a lesson in basic procedures. Patti, you might want to come and oversee some good first aid tips; you never know, right? Ione, I'd like to extend the class to you as well, given your great tips on how to work together. You'd all ready start out as the teacher's pet, more or less." Dr. Victor gave a wink and a small finger gun in Ione's direction before retiring in his room for a decent night's sleep, or so he hoped.

"Yeah, doc, that would probably be some good stuff to know these days. Good night." To Ash - "I've been getting up around four thirty, fiveish. Shall we meet in here before we hit the stairs? Good night." Patti exited the proceedings and went to bed around ten.

Ashley finished chatting with the others, and got himself off to bed early to prepare for some jogging tomorrow.

Gradually no one was present except the few guards and midnight snack seekers. Night was creepy and fortunately getting shorter with the turning of seasons.
