Camp Fortitude

CAITLIN.
He's gone. There's no sign of him. His room is empty. His things are gone. I think He went back home.

PUBLIC.
Cisco Ramon is gone.

For those of you who still needed suits, come to me. I'll finish what he started. If anyone here knows how to work with clothing, now would be a good time to step up.

GREENHOUSE CREW.

So - how do you guys want to do this meeting thing? Anyone want to volunteer, want to pick a name out of a hat or whoever draws the short straw? Put it to a vote?

/FILTER

Anyone want to head to the gym and play dodgeball or something? I'm bored.

So I don't know how to not be stupidly dramatic about this, but I also don't want to try and make excuses for anything not normal I might be caught doing, especially since I'm trying to get on defense. Maybe I don't have to announce this at all, but I'm getting fed up with pretending in a place like this and people thinking I can't fight because of age. Seriously

Hi, I'm Kira. I'm a Kitsune, of the thunder variety. So I'm fast (not Flash fast), I heal, I'm great with weapons and I generate and absorb electricity. No, the brown out was not me.

Questions, comments, concerns? No? Cool.

I've got some fresh carrots from this morning, if anyone is looking for some, and I could use an extra set of hands on hauling to food to the community center.

A few years ago when I was back home and things had gotten especially crazy, my friend had brought all of us together and we set off paper lanterns to honor those who we had recently lost. I know it might sound a little cheesy, but it was nice and it felt like a good way to pay our respects.

So I made two this morning and I'm going to be down at the lake just after sunset if anyone wanted to join in.

Is everyone else's water a delightful shade of brown and gross - or is that just us in medical?

JOEY.
Are you freaking out? Because I'm freaking out.

ETA (PUBLIC)
Uhm hi. So this is by no means what is going to happen but I've seen this before. Well, Joey and I have seen this before. And I'm not saying this will happen the same way - but when we got stuck in a ash fog grossness thing like this before it got pretty bad. Like giant spiders and super creepy things bad. I still have nightmares about that freaking faceless zombie looking thing - We'd see stuff out of the corner of eyes all the time, and most of it didn't try anything but still creepy. Again I am not saying that this will be what happens but just, you know, heads up?

Now that I'm all caught up on what we can and cannot do around this place, the only question I have is: what do you people do for fun around here?

And, because I lied about only have one question, is there anyone else around here from Mystic Falls? I can't be the only one here.

We should definitely do poker again sometime.

Hey Peter? I believe I was promised jet boots.

JOEY.
Hey.

Just picked a bunch of tomatoes today - so if anyone wants tomatoes, come and grab them!

JOEY.
I think I might be debating something stupid.

[Caroline]

Found it.

[Caroline Forbes]
Thanks, for you know. Letting me stay here. I'll try to get out of your hair in the next couple days. I know it's awkward having me here.

But I wanted to ask, are you feeling okay? I've noticed you haven't left the house much.

Not happening - not happening - not happening - OMG THIS IS SERIOUSLY NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW -
Has anyone seen a ring around? Silver, with a blue stone? It's the only way I pass for human - a family heirloom and I really can't lose it.

CAPTAIN JOLINE

Freaking out, so freaking out. I never even take it off but I woke up without it this morning. Can you guys check out the Camp?

First, I want to thank you for the welcome, Pepper. I'm sure this place is a lot less...well, horrifying when you have some idea what's going on.

Not that I don't think it's a load of klunk, but it's hardly anyone's fault.

Let me know how I can help. I'm doing farming but if I can do anything else to help make this buggering place any better, just say the word.

So lots of new faces lately - let's do an ice breaker. Two truths and lie - super easy. Say your name and then three things about yourself where two are the truth and one is a lie and then everyone gets to suss out what's what. Look, I'll even start!

Hi, I'm Caroline.

1. I have two tattoos.
2. I'm from Minnesota.
3. I was Valedictorian at my high school.

JOEY.

You miss everything.

WHO: Caroline & OPEN
WHERE: The kitchen in the community center
WHEN: Wednesday afternoon
WHAT: Prepping food, signing TSwift, someone go bug her!
WARNINGS: Nada, will update if needed
STATUS: OPEN!

shake it off ( Read more... )

All right, so. We've gotten more than a few questions, either directly or indirectly, about the brownout. The three of us who were on tech at the time have been through every computer, every wired connection, every WiFi connection...we've gone through everything. Tony and myself especially, because Daisy was also doubling Defense.

Because I know there might be cause for concern that it could happen again and in the interest of transparency, I'm going to address it publicly rather than on an individual basis, and I apologize if I don't have the answer you're looking for.

( cut for length )

( Filter for Defense )

Probably wishful thinking, but nobody would have any Ibuprofen lying around, would they? Or a Xanax? Or ten? I'm sore in places I didn't even know I could bend.

I know that it's been said already, but Defense did a great job while we were gone. I'm glad everybody is safe, and thanks to the medical staff for keeping an eye out and being on stand by. We're damn lucky to have doctors around this place. And I swear I'm not just saying that for the pain killers.

CISCO.
I might need to ask for a favor sooner than I thought...

I'm not one to ask for favors but does anybody here have extra clothing that might actually fit me and doesn't look like it's been chewed on by a really pissed off tiger? I might find something tomorrow if I'm lucky but I just got here and I'm running out mostly to find meat and Kit Kats, apparently, so any help would be appreciated. I have three outfits that I'm working with and one of them is a catsuit, not exactly lounge wear material.

STEVE.
If we're going to be sharing the same living space you're going to have to learn that putting my things away for me is going to earn you a black eye. If you move my pants off of the floor in the hall to toss them in my hamper then I have no way of knowing where you put them. Don't do that.

And who in their right mind washes dishes at two in the morning? Are you trying to make me snap your neck?

Heads up, I'm taking the network offline for about an hour tonight at midnight to kick up the bandwidth now that there's more people here and subsequently more stuff to archive now.

DEFENSE.

And before I do that, I'd like to do a check on everyone's comm equipment. I want to boost the sound quality so there's more clarity. It was one thing when it was just Sara and Steve, we learned to work around it. I don't want to keep trying to do that now that there's more of you. So if you could be so kind as to drop by the tech lab before the end of the night so I can play with the channels a little and clear out the static, that would be super.

I don't really know how to feel about this. One minute I'm with my brother and the next I'm... here. And as I've been told, no one really knows anything, so there goes my week of picking apart people's brains to find a way back or at least gather some kind of intel. I'm pretty sure others thought about it first.
