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, and has a few dead plants scattered from some forgotten project. 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 with various herbs (including the 'wicked herb') as well as some attempts to grow vegetables, and a homemade pigeon coop with a dozen pigeons! From here you can go to: either stairwell

Patti sat at the table, with Donovan resting on the edge, staring intently at the pigeons. Her shift was up before the party started but she failed to check the schedule to see who was relieving her. She just had to hope they showed up in time. She was actually looking forward to the party a little bit, because things had been a little tense lately. Also, she had some really nice clothes she had recently looted from the 320 condos. She even had a joint rolled for later, though she knew Ash wouldn't approve. She absently stroked the little cat's furry back. She had given him a bath a week after he moved in and it took him almost two weeks to forgive her. The human food treats helped to win him back. She got up and walked the perimeter a few times. In the not-too-distance, she thought she could see movement in the elevator of the Space Needle. She tried to ignore that these days, but she knew that, eventually, their investigations would lead them there. Thanks to the bike generators and the fitness program, more people were fit enough to climb the stairs of that thing, if it came to that. Thank goodness for the small things. She plopped back down at the table and pulled gently on one of Donovan's ears, simultaneously scratching the back of his neck. "Are you planning on pouncing, or were you just hoping you could hate the birds to death?"

Floretta- "Mm, hi. You're Patti, right? Yeah, I don't get out of my apartment much... I'm going to take the party watch. Have fun for me, OK?"

Patti greeted Floretta with a smile. "Thanks. Indeed, I haven't seen you in a few weeks. Do you want me to get you anything? Food, sweets, maybe one of our handsome young men?" Floretta- "Oh gosh, no. I'm fine."
"See you later then."

“Of course, I'm not that fuckin far gone, once you've been drunk on cruise ship during a storm, anything is fuckin possible no matter how inebriated, hell just ask Basil.” Nora- "My fellow countryman? No thanks." He said as they made their way to roof, proving reasonably apt at ladder climbing despite his given state. He gave the woman on guard duty a salute then made his way careening to the north side. (Description is close enough but... The roof sides were only recently connected with a plank. The south roof, where the guard usually hangs out, has a stairwell. Only reason to take the ladder is to get directly to the north roof without messing with the guard. Or whatever.) The north side had a funny smell, the mix of the legal and illegal herbs. It was slightly worrisome that the vegetable garden was not only the same size as the marijuana garden, but the marijuana garden was slightly bigger. Micah just hoped that no one would get the munchies majorly while vegetable gardening because then they'd all be screwed. He plonked himself near the edge of the roof and looked out. “So have you gotten into the new crop yet? It seems everyone is getting fuckin into it, even Patti looked a little red-eyed. I always took her for being pretty straight-laced but maybe her fro is gettin to her?” Nora- "I believe Ibrahim is serious when he says he wants this to last, so I'll help him ration it. By drinking for my oblivion." “I'm afraid I know jack all about etchin, is that like sketchin or somethin?” Nora- "It's OK, I was joking. Who wants to talk about etchings, right? Eddie Izzard delivered that one better." “Okay, right then. Well if I say monkey dish or soft crack stage, you'd think I was fuckin talkin dirty... Well they're fuckin cookin terms yeah?” Nora- "Talking about work now, well... Why not? It's funny now our jobs are a lot more important. Only nine out of ten humans had to die to make that work. Totally worth it." “So...what do you think we can all fuckin hope for in the future? Can we go back one day to a sem'lance of normal? You realise that if the fuckin government pull through, you, me and ol' Basil are probably gonna be deported or some shit?” Nora- "Oh, I think it's a safe bet the government is gone, and good riddance... My job, I've been helping Ben come up with zombie-killing machines. I told you a little about it the other week... We're thinking of dollying it around the Amazon campus soon for a test go.
Whether my work is for bollocks or not, if the government comes around to say 'do this and that', what's it matter? The world belongs to the people that make it work again..."

And so it went... She alternated between talking tall crap like that and mousy self-deprecation. But kinda cool anyways. Time contracted and dilated, and home boy found himself on the 2nd floor thread.
Go to 2nd floor Micah!

On the southern roof (far away from those sinful marijuana plants) somebody played with his new toy from the AGC scouting mission. Red, red, yellow, blue ... twist ... blue, red, yellow, blue ... UUUUGH. Frustrating, impossible Rubik's cube! Alex checked the street down below. Nobody there. Good. He grabbed the toy in his right hand, ran through his well-practiced windup and set motions, and ... At the last moment, Alex stopped himself from pitching it off the roof. He wasn't a quitter. Stick to it! Orange, green, green, yellow ...Damn you, Rubik's cube.

Ashley looked around a little bit, before stepping out onto the roof, checking over the crops. They could definitely use the pot land to grow lifesaving fruit and vegetables. He took a few clicking steps, before he noticed Alex. "Alex, are you interested in going out with us for Protein Powder, and things from REI? Patti wants to bring two more people. I would prefer not to bring Johnson again." He looks at the roof space. "We are going to use more of this space. Come with me to get more soil next week. We can make this whole damned thing into a food garden." He half-growls his commentary on this.

"Ah, Jeez. I'd normally go, but ... smell this!" He held his arm about an inch from Ashley's nose. "Nice, right? It's L'Homme. Classy eau de toilette, Sir: rare nowadays. Once it's gone, it's gone. I better not sweat it off by adventuring. That won't do. Today, I have to smell good. You ask around the center for volunteers yet?"

Ashley jerks his head back a little when he has an arm jammed in his face, but he nods all the same. "I understand the point. I have not yet, but I am sure I will find someone."

"Have you tried asking Derek? He's pretty strong. Can't say much for personality, but whatever. If he says no, I'll go. Maybe there's more nice smelling things in the locker room."

"hurmph, I don't think I know Leighton too well, what rubs you the wrong way about him?" He asks, crossing his arms, and pausing. "I'm sure I can get some volunteers, I like Page and Harrison, maybe they would be interested in coming for the welfare of the community."

"Ha! Funny you mentioned welfare, sir. You weren't there, but Derek said ..." Alex seemed to concentrate, and his voice took on a Dereky tone. " People always start out talking about helping the disabled, but then it turns into handouts for the lazy faster than you can say 'welfare check please! That guy's selfish, and I wouldn't trust him with anyone's life." It was fortunate that they were outside, because Alex started using his outside voice. "Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor. GIVE to the poor." Unless you want to own Tiffany antiques and some muscle cars, right?"I mean, my parents aren't perfect! But they never turned away somebody in need! Christ! What do people see in him?"
