"When you guys are ready again, I'll back you up. I'm gonna go get something. I'll be down in a minute." Patti headed up the stairwell.

When Alex listened to the group chat, he experienced an unnerving sense of deja vu. The president was a baseball player and English major? He was also good looking and ... taller than Alex. Well, Alex obviously weighed more. Ha. But was that a good thing? He glanced down and prodded his stomach thoughtfully.
What if Seth was also good at dancing? Better at dancing, even! Alex didn't think he could stand being one-upped in that skillset, too. Well, he always had the Native American card. Ladies LOVED the Native American card. Most ladies. Carly did, at least.
He caught a hint of a distinct smell and wrinkled his nose. It smelled like his Uncle Brick. Did somebody take the weed? He had a really sensitive nose. He could probably sniff the person out, but that would be too intrusive ...
When Patti returned, Alex offered her a smile.

Seth stretched on the floor a bit, Alex recognized the moves. He was probably just a contact hitter with that build. Thierry came back with four small cups of water balanced. Seth- "Hey what's your favorite food everybody?"
Bryce- "Oh man, do we really wanna talk about stuff we're never gonna eat again?"
Seth- "Hey, don't think like that. I bet we'll get to eat anything we want eventually. Maybe I'm just hungry, haha... Seriously though."
Bryce- "If you insist, just to get it out of the way... Ice cream."
Derek- "I can tell dude, haha!"
Seth- "Ooh what flavor?"
Bryce- "The high fat kind. Nyeeeah *he stuck his tongue out at Derek*"
Anna- "I dunno if that goes with the spirit of the question, I mean ice cream isn't really a food, it's a dessert, a whole different thing. Everybody'd say ice cream."
Seth- "Maybe Bryce REALLY likes ice cream. I like strawberry. What do you like Anna?"
Anna- "Hmm... Oh I'm lucky. Canned food. Black olives."
Seth- "Oh yeah, you're Italian, right?"
Anna- *stares* "Oh yes, that's totally racial."
Seth- "I mean, that's like your family tradition or whatever? Oh nevermind. Jackson?"
Jackson- "Oh hm, watermelon. Not all the time, but y'know, when it's time for a watermelon, it's awesome."
Seth- "Aw yeah! In the summer... that sounds nice. Derek?"
Derek- "This is mad elementary school man. Uh.. Fuck it. Steak."
Bryce- "Overcompensating for something?"
Derek- "I have no idea what you're talking about dude."
Seth- "That's my favorite! I like any kind of meat... I'll eat a seagull if I have to."
Davin- "Oh you'll have to. " Seth glanced to Alex. Seth- "Oh yeah! I didn't really get to talk to you. 'Alex'? Good job out there by the way. So, what do you like to eat?"

Seth- "Oh chocolate milk, yummy. I don't know what 'shirako' is, is it like teriyaki?"
Derek- "I think shirako is like... fish jizz, man..."
Seth- "Fish have jizz? I thought they laid eggs."
Davin- "Yeah they do, but it's all external. They just like, let it go in the water. Big fish orgy."
Anna- "Dude! Squinty! I thought you were the classy one."
Seth- "But... Fish don't have penises, do they?"
Thierry- "A penis wouldn't be required without intercourse. I would imagine if they use some sort of stimulation, it's more like... tribadism."
Anna- "Fish can't have tribadism, because they don't have legs. It's frottage."
Kenny- "Holy crap! This is so depraved! I'm in a building full of sex freaks!"
Seth- "Not sex 'freaks', people should be open about sexuality. Sex positivity! Anyway... it's just fish. I don't think anyone has a fetish for that."
Bryce- "Actually, Troy McClure did on the Simpsons."
Kenny- "Man, I wonder if we'll ever get to the see the Simpsons again..."
Alex was relieved to see the conversation had moved on, with his reputation unscathed.

When the group started discussing fish sex, Alex realized that he was in the big, open world now. Here, people said things like "frottage" with a straight face. It was actually pretty funny. He started snickering and then laughing outright. "If you ever miss the Simpsons, I can just about quote every episode from heart," Alex offered.

Anna- "Eeeexcellent." Anna tried to do a Mr. Burns impression.Jackson- "Sorry... that wasn't very good. Pretty cute though." Anna- "Oh, I always aim for cute. Ya bastid." Seth turned back to Alex, standing up and stretching with the golf club behind his neck.Seth- "So what do you do, Alex? You a student around here?"

"Ah, yeah. Seattle University. English. Baseball." He snickered again. "But I want to be a fireman. You aren't a fireman, are you?" Alex paused. Then, he asked, "And can you dance?"

Seth- "Haha. How about that! Nope, I am not a fireman. I can dance well enough to not be laughed out of a club, but it is pretty dark in those places. All the flashy lights too..." Bryce got a funny look. Bryce- "Huh..."
Seth- "Disappointed I wasn't on Soul Train, Bryce?"
Bryce- "Soul Train? No.. that was before your time right, old timer?"
Seth- "Oh yes, I'm totally 50 years old, lots of plastic surgery. Gosh."
Bryce- "Hey um, Seth... What's your favorite band?"
Seth- "Ohhh that's tough. I like a lot of stuff... Uh, don't laugh. I love the Gaga. I'm not afraid to admit it, okay?!"
Bryce- "Oh yeah, yeah... Lady Gaga..." *shifty look*
Kenny- "Whoa, chicks gotta like that right? Seems like all the hipster boys are into Lady Gaga when there's ladies standing nearby, haha."
Seth- "Haha, maybe so. Hey what bands do you like, Bryce?"
Bryce- "Hm. Lots of different kind of stuff. I have a soft spot for Slayer lately. "
Seth- "What's that like?"
Bryce- "Badass."
Anna- "Eh, they're kinda boring."
Bryce- "Depends on which drugs you've done."
Seth- "Is that like heavy metal?"
Kenny- "Aw man, why you gotta be so new Seth? Ya make me feel like a fossil."
Seth- "Haha sorry. Bryce, are you a rocker?"
Bryce- "I guess you could say that."
Thierry- "I don't know, I hate to break this up but... do you think they've thinned out enough for stage two?"
Seth- "Oh yeah, probably so. I'll peek out there."

Kenny opened the door, and Seth peered out, and slowly crept up the stairs. He came back down about five seconds later. Seth- "Looks good to me. There's like one guy at the end of the alley but he didn't even see me."
Thierry- "Alright. Let's--" The north stair door opened nearby. It was the expedition, the people on their way out. Quentin, Jaclyn, Eddie and Sharma.
Thierry- "Seth, perhaps we should put this on hold a moment longer." Seth nodded. Thierry- "Eddy, are you four ready to leave, or do you need anything else?"
Eddy- "No, we're good. We're just gonna take off."
He looked to the bicycle rack, and went towards it with some wire cutters.
Seth- "The alley is pretty clear, we blocked the north end. Would you like us to clear an opening for you?"
Eddy- "Oh that'd be swell." Quentin unlocked his own bike, and looked back at Seth. Quentin- "Well, now you're the president huh? That's... just weird."
Seth- *shrugged* President of one building... I feel hopeful though. I feel hopeful for you too." Quentin didn't seem to know what to say. Jaclyn took a bike from Eddy, and turned to Seth.
Jaclyn- "I know this is the best thing for us to do, but it's still good to hear that. Thanks." Seth nodded.
Seth- "Keep safe everyone. I guess we probably won't see each other again, even if everything goes perfectly."
Eddy- "That's what Marie was saying upstairs. It's true. Well, it's been real champ."
Anna- "You're me in an alternate universe. I about 48% want to go with you."
Quentin- "A quantum physics joke, haha. What is quantum you going to do? Come with us?"
Anna- "Mm.. no. I go it alone. I'm rough like that." Thierry looked at Sharma very emotionally, and didn't say anything. Sharma occasionally returned the look, and went back to sorting himself out. Finally... Sharma- "Vat Thierry?! Don't gib me dat lurk!"
Thierry- "Stay alive old man."
Sharma- "I bill! Gard." Seth gestured for Davin and Thierry to come ahead with him to clear the way for the bicyclists. Pretty much everybody left the garage except Bryce and Kenny.
Kenny closed the door behind the last bicyclist. Bryce- "Phew. Whatdya think? Are they fuckin' nuts? Or are we?"
Kenny- "Both. Neither. Damn. What's the sane thing to do when shit's totally insane? Beats me."
Bryce- "...So you like Slayer?"

Patti came back down in the middle of a conversation about music. Unless engaged, she didn't bother inserting herself into it. She lingered near the exit, where she was standing when Thierry's group came down and said their farewells. She thought about offering one of the shotguns to the group. Then she thought of how many people they had to protect here. She approached the group discussion quietly but unobtrusively, the shotgun under her left arm, with the barrel pointed directly at the floor. When there was a moment, she addressed Eddy in a tone not intended for everyone in the room to hear. "If you think you guys could use a shotgun, there's three more upstairs, I think we could spare one and maybe one box of shells. If you want."

Patti came down the stairwell and started looking around the neat stacks of building supplies from the day before. As she remembered, there was indeed a surplus of hammers, including a framing hammer that was a little awkward for most hammering needs. This was a nice one with a metal neck and handle, with a shock absorbing grip molded around it. She hefted it and swung it a few times. It was a little clumsy, but she thought she could make it work. She headed back upstairs.

Ivan and Lilla were guarding the back door. Ivan- "Damn, boo. Think we should go up?" Lilla- "They said they had it under control, didn't they?"
