What: Misfit is leaving Sundance and wants to say Good-bye to everyone
Rating: PG
Status: Open to all those who have met Misfit//In Progress

Misfit was sad to be leaving. She really had met some nice people here in Sundance. But the truth was, she wanted to go home. Maybe she would return, maybe she wouldn't, but she did want to at least say good-bye to the people who had helped her during her stay.

Since she was closest to the Wolves territory, she decided to start with Gemini, Sparrow and Windchaser. She especially wanted to say bye to Windchaser as well as thank you. She would have never known about herself and her body if it wasn't for her. Misfit owed her a lot more than words. OH, and Swift lived around there too! Misfit remembered him as being her first and most funniest customer in Sundance. Misfit held a big grin as she walked onto Wolf territory.

Bullet and Bandit walked on either side of her, flanker her and forever mindful of their surroundings. Misfit just skipped along, humming some tune she remembered her brother singing once a upon a time. "Hello! Anyone around?" Misfit shouted as she walked along, not quite at the farm grounds yet.

WHO: Trigger and open
WHAT: Cooking
WHERE: The Carrion kitchen
WHEN: Week 21 Sunday morning
RATING: TBD
STATUS: Open

Trigger was moving slowly around his kitchen, fingers busy over what he could find. At Shine's request he was knocking together what he could for her boyfriends birthday. A picnic planned with her new family. His kitchen was as quiet as usual when he worked, but he knew that his cooking smells might well draw in some of the other Carrion.
He loved his kitchen but he grew increasingly lonely here, and wondered that if he could talk some of the others into coming with him he was considering venturing over to the 4th July party at the Trading Post, he just had to hope his cooking smells were intoxicating enough, and that the fact he was, as usual humming Tom Jones songs under his breath wouldn't counteract their affects

Who: Blaze and Hazard

When:What: Hazard needs advice.
Rating: TBA

What a rotten couple of days. Hazard had spent most of his time in his room, only emerging for bathroom breaks and grabbing food to take back with him. It was only after a while that he managed to get the courage and inclination to search for Blaze. A while had passed since they had a good heart to heart and he really needed his older brother's advice. There was a good chance that Blaze would tease him, but it was his first crush. Blaze had more relationship experience than he did, not that he'd been in a relationship at all.

Darn emotions. He hadn't expected to like anyone the way he did with Kentucky, although it didn't matter anymore. He lost because he was too young and he wasn't her type. It hurt, but he wasn't surprised about that part. What was he supposed to do now? She was in a small tribe in confined spaces and they were bound to run into one another eventually. Hazard started to look for his brother in the hospital and hoped to some higher power that he'd find him soon - said power must have a sick sense of humor, unfortunately.

Finally, he found him in one of the hallways by the cafeteria. Now or never. "Blaze," he called out. "Can I talk to you?" He hoped that the tone of his voice would indicate that it was important.

Status: In progress//Closed
Rating: PG

After her encounter that morning with Gabe, Kahea had almost forgotten about her planned meeting with Kentucky and Dark Flash. What an odd name, but hey, he was just a boy after all. A pretty rude one at that. It had been like pulling teeth to get him to agree to this meeting, but Kahea stood her ground, not taking no, or 'go back to your tree' for an answer from the sarcastic teen. She needed to see Kentucky, talk to her, make sure she was alright.( Kahea couldn't help it, it was just in her nature )

It had been a good few days since the last time Kentucky had walked a long ways properly but her sore leg could handle it, and she kept up a tough facade for Hazard's sake so he wouldn't worry about her so much as they walked. Already she had picked up a good sized walking stick to help her with her limp, and there was a messenger bag around her to help her carry things she could use to trade for the ingredients she needed for the chili. She still hadn't forgotten about it, Kentucky always kept her word when she knew she's promised something. She was following Hazard's lead since he knew where this garden was he spoke about, and that was what prompted her to get a messenger bag that carried things she could trade with and also something to help her carry the vegetables back. Though since the day was kind of chilly from the wind blowing almost constantly, she had her coat on she had gotten out from her duffel.

"How much farther, ya' think it is?" Kentucky glanced at him while she was following him, keeping herself more bundled up because of the wind, but at  least it wasn't bothering her that much.

( Come Join The Party )

Who: Hazard and Hollywood
Where: a room in a hospital
When: afternoon
What: hanging out

What a week. Lots of hard work, swings, confessions... it was enough to cause his head to ache for a few days. Hazard needed a break from physical labor and there was no better way to relax than to hang out with his good friend Hollywood. He went to their usual spot in the hospital, a room on the upper floor, as they had promised to meet up when they were done with everything. Lying on the bed, he hung upside down and pulled a rubber ball out of his pocket to start tossing it in the air. It bounced off the ceiling and he caught it with ease.

It was not long before he heard the door open and tossed the ball to what had to be Hollywood coming in through the door. "Hey," he said. "I have things to show you." He could not believe his luck today and he hadn't been doing much, just doing the normal rounds. This amount of treasure was incredible. Hazard got to his feet to head over to the corner, pulling a small box towards the center of the room. "See, I was patrolling down the street and a pile of rubble that looked a little weird caught my attention. So I went over, started to dig and found this! It must have been from a store and no one thought about looking underneath a bunch of stones for a really long time."

A grin appeared on his face. "Haven't opened the box yet cause I thought you'd want to see for the first time too. And you get first dibs on stuff." It was one of the many benefits of being Hazard's friend and chances were there were things they both could use for traps, etc. He sat on the floor next to the box and opened it, catching his breath without realizing it. Little surprises like this were still important and even better when shared with a friend. After they browsed and plotted over things, Hazard had a question for Hollywood... a somewhat serious and important one.

Who: Hazard and Sensei
Where: the hospital
When: morning
What: repair work

Work was neverending, but Hazard found it satisfactory to be doing something with a visual result and helped the Carrion. Sensei had decided to repair the walls in part of the hospital and recruited some members to assist him. To no one's surprise, Hazard immediately volunteered and set to work, determined not to stop for many breaks. The sooner he completed the walls with the others, the safer everyone would feel. With a small and once-secretive tribe such as the Carrion, morale was important.

Hazard picked up a bunch of wood they had gathered as well as some other tools and headed towards the area where Sensei was working, placing the materials next to him. "Hey," he said and withdrew a hammer from his toolbelt to start his work. "Are we making good progress?" He wanted to do his best despite his not knowing how to do this so well, though he thought he was getting better as time passed. The plank of wood in his hand started to slip and he readjusted it to nail it in place. This might be harder than he expected, though he wanted to save face in some way.

At least they were working together. Things would be easier that way.

Who: Blaze and Hazard
Where: The roof of the hospital
When: Thursday late afternoon
Why: Blaze and Hazard do some catching up after the war

Blaze was exhausted to the core. The last month had been like hell on earth, with the war...and especially with the death of Tootles. It wasn't like he was particularly close to the kid, but that didn't make anything easier; in fact, in some respects it made things that much harder. During the war he'd taken any mission that the Wolves would give him, anything to take his mind off of the things that he'd seen in that alleyway.

Over the last few weeks he felt like he'd lost touch with himself, and most importantly with the people that he cared about the most - his brother and Sensei. Sensei and his relationship had become distanced, distracted and almost void of the exciting warmth that new relationships always had. He'd let so many things come in the way of him and the people that he still had. The truth was that the whole Tootles incident had left him in a cold shock. The past few years he'd managed to move past the trauma of the virus and burying his friends and family, but that day in the alley was too clear a reminder of the fragility of the life that they had in Sundance.

Since the mysterious retreat of the Mountain Lions, the Wolves had begun their work to rebuild the city. Blaze had spent every second of his waking hours repairing things, moving debris, bodies, anything that needed to be done to return some semblance of normality to their town.

It wasn't until late Thursday afternoon that he felt he couldn't go on anymore without some kind of break. He climbed to the top of the hospital that they'd called home for the last three years. When he reached the roof he laid down on the hot cement and stared up at the clouds. Eventually his vision became blurry with the tears that had built up in his eyes.

Who: Gemini and Hazard
When: midday
Where: the farm
What: fun!
OOC: Sorry for the delay!

Hazard left the Carrion and headed to the farm, which was going to take a while although he tolerated the journey every time. Spending time with Gemini was always good and this time he had a present for her. What started as a way to pass the time grew and he realized it was better to have someone in mind while making someone. It made crafting easier and while it was better if his present had a practical purpose, he figured an aesthetic gift was a nice change of pace. Hazard was serious and practical most of the time as the situation called for it, but his youth was passing before his eyes. Only five years to be a teenager remained and he hadn't goofed off like most teens... if they lived in better times.

After a while, he arrived and chose a safe path through the couple of traps he set up to the door and knocked on it. The present was behind his back because he wanted it to be a surprise. She wasn't allowed to peek! When the door finally opened, he gave her a smile. "Hey," he said. "I hope you have no plans. Today is all about fun and living it up before we get grey hair and wrinkles." Or succumb to the virus when they reached a certain age. He wanted to show her what he had made and start the couple of activities planned, but it was better not to rush things."First things first," added Hazard. "I have a present for you, but I don't know if you will like it." Girls liked flowers, right?

Who: Blaze and Hazard
What: They leave town in search of better things
Where: The South Side Hospital and the open road
When: Friday morning, early

***OOC: Maren my dear, if this is not ok let me know!

Some would say that it was a suicide mission, but it was just what Blaze had been looking for, what he needed. His brother had approached him with the idea on Christmas and although Blaze was at first critical he’d changed his mind rather easily. It was a way to get out of the hospital, to get away from the awkwardness that was being around Sensei, and it was a chance to do something good for the tribe.

Hazard had said he had the whole thing planned out so Blaze put his blind faith in his younger brother. He’d packed a few things and put on all the warmest things he owned. At least the snow had stopped for now, and when dawn broke Blaze made his way down the stairs to wait in the freezing front lobby for his brother. He hoped that Hazard would be quiet about this whole thing like he’d asked him to, but there was not telling. Hazard had much more respect and devotion to Sensei than Blaze did.

Blaze leaned against the freezing glass of the front doors and closed his eyes. They had a long journey ahead of them. At least his burned hand was by now, more or less healed and he was somewhat able to use it. He only wished he had a gun, or something, maybe a car, anything that would make this trip a little easier, a little more sane.

Who: Blaze, Hazard & OPEN to Carrion!
Where: the Hospital
When: late afternoon
What: Party!

Hazard made sure that everything was in place before his brother arrived. For an important occasion such as Blaze's birthday, he took it upon himself to arrange a party. After all, Alex was going to be old now and more at risk. Hazard did not like the thought of losing his brother and tried to push it out of his mind as he inspected that the food he placed was free from rat nibbles. Recently more of them found their way into the hospital and Hazard spent part of the day killing as many as he could and setting up makeshift rat traps. They might not work, but at least he was doing something to help.

Preparations were more difficult than he thought and involved Hazard sneaking out of the hospital and scrounging around for anything that he could use for the party food or a birthday present. In one of the houses, he'd found a Swiss army knife hidden in a forgotten corner of a dresser and couldn't believe his good luck. He polished it the best he could and hurried into the cold to return to the Hospital. It had been so busy for the both of them that they didn't have much time to spend together, but this birthday party was going to make up for it.

He spread the word to all the Carrion to join the party if they wanted and especially hoped Mouse would arrive later. She liked both boys, didn't she? Just in case, Hazard combed his hair extra well and cleaned his face and teeth as much as he was able. The sight of him in his smart clothing which he saved for very special occasions was going to be as much of a surprise as the actual party for Blaze, he hoped. Knowing the tribe, his brother probably knew about it already. He had to think positively, though! Yes, this was going to be excellent.

Who: Mouse and Hazard
What: People are not where they're supposed to be
When: Monday Morning
Where: The hospital
Rating: Not too high

Everything was simply just cold. It used to be, a long time ago, that Mouse had loved when it snowed. Sometimes it would get so bad that her dad would actually spend the day at home. Of course the cold back then was something that she could hide from. Now that was less possible. At least there was plenty of room to move around in the hospital, and moving kept the blood up and pumping and helped keep you warm. She was going a bit stir crazy with the cold though. At least when she was bored she could find some old medical texts that she had hidden and read, but now she just could not sit there and go over facts that she had now read at least a hundred times. Now she just had the hallways to wander through, happening upon people every so often. Sometimes she stopped for a bit to listen, but nothing very interesting was going on today it seemed. The snow was blocking out everything, even thoughts.

At least, she did not think anything was all that interesting until she heard swearing starting to drift up through the hallway she was walking in. There was not anyone in the rooms that she was passing by, and it was getting louder as she came closer to where ever it was coming from. It did not take her long to come up upon Hazard, pacing as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders. With what was coming out of his mouth it seemed very likely that he was feeling like it was too. Her heart went out to the young boy. She hated seeing anyone upset, which he clearly was. It was written all over, in his voice, his gait, his posture. There was no hiding it, which was probably why he was not near anyone else. Or at least it would make sense.

Biting her lip, she was not sure if she should make her presence known. He was upset, yes, but she never liked prying into other people's business. Still, maybe she could help. And if she could help, then it was her obligation to help, wasn't it? That was her job after all, helping. Sure he was not visibly hurt or anything like that, but she could still do something. "Hazard?" she said softly, walking up towards him. She still kept back a bit, in case he snapped at her. "Are you all right?" It was a silly question, if one thought about it. Of course he was not all right, he was pacing and swearing, that much was pretty obvious. But she could not think of anything else to say.

Who: Hazard and Sensei
Where: the hospital
When: midday
What: Hazard has ideas!

Hazard stepped onto the one-shelved medicine trolley and reached out to the wall to give himself a push. The trolley rolled down the hallway and he managed to keep his balance on it. Though it did not go as quickly as he wanted, it still provided him with a much needed rush of excitement. Hazard wanted to find Sensei to tell him about the new idea he'd had and receive his new orders about what to find for the Carrion. Food was always a high priority, or at least was to him because his appetite was growing each day. Was there still a relatively unlooted garden center from which he could take seeds and plant somewhere? Perhaps it was time to pick up gardening and create a small greenhouse, heavily protected should anyone try to break in and steal the food. Hazard liked the idea of setting up booby traps more than the idea of gardening, but that was only natural of a self-proclaimed spy.

The trolley clacked as it continued to roll and he jumped off, grabbing the back of it to prevent it from crashing into the wall at the end of the hallway. Fortunately, he saw Sensei down the adjacent corridor and headed towards him with the exuberance that only a fourteen-year-old boy could possess. "Hi, Sensei, what's happening?" he asked with a smile. "Had an idea you might like. It has to do with codes and scavenging. Maybe we can have a message board with the 'to-do' list and news of what's going on with the other tribes... but it would all be in a cryptic code. You never know who will sneak into the hospital and try to take things. I'm guessing most people are too lazy to take the time to copy down a code and crack it."

"If you give me permission, I think it's also a good idea to secure any entrances into the hospital with traps or something. Just to be safe." There were times when Hazard chose to forego small talk and this happened to be one of them. Once he ran out of ideas, though, he was able and willing to talk normally. He just couldn't help sharing his ideas with the leader of the Carrion, because he liked to think that was one of his jobs in the tribe. Maybe Sensei thought it was too, and that would be awesome.
