( He had to know about Gray )

Well, doesn't this place look like a party? So many lovelies... Name's John Hart. For now, at least. Sounds like I'll be assigned to Defense, soon enough. Makes sense. I do so like hitting things. This should be fun.

Temporal displacement, makes your tongue tingle doesn't it?

To make sure supply runs are as effective as they can be when we send a team out I'd like to set up a meeting to keep the best list going we can for what is needed. As well to address any other concerns that might come up along the way. Ideally weekly but at the bare minimum the Monday before what will be bi-weekly supply runs. If medical, farming and service want to discuss this and decide on someone to be your person to do this. First one will be this Monday.

Clarke mentioned she can build a smokehouse which would be a good idea. We can't rely on being able to guarantee finding everything we need on runs - if there's one constant about this place it's that it's inconsistent. With our numbers growing the way they are we need to be better prepared to be more self sufficient. If you think you can help with that let her know. As well, if you have any other ideas on making us more self sufficient let's get it going.

KATE.

You said you could hunt - I'm assuming that's something that runs in the family?

DEFESE.
( cut for length )

TONY.

How are you and Pepper holding up? Any news?

[Defense]

You need to let me fight. Your rules are stupid. I have the skills you need and it's stupid not to let me do anything.

[Isaac]

You okay?

[/UNFILTERED]

This place sucks. We need to do stuff to keep people from dying. Despite what the blonde girl said, people don't have to die here.

How many of you have experience building a society from the leftovers of civilization? Maybe rather than passing judgment on the people who are making the effort to actually keep us safe, you should find ways to make yourselves useful and be productive members of the camp.

Death is unavoidable in circumstance like this. Yes, it sucks that we lost people, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. And given the way this settlement is growing, it's entirely likely that it will be worse in the future. If you can't deal with that, then maybe you should try surviving on your own outside the walls.

All that being said, I have experience building and maintaining a smokehouse, if that is something people are interested in getting together.

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.

Fuck it. I'll be the asshole. So are we not going to talk about the two people who died this past week, one of whom was an untrained Defense member under a team leader who has already asked for specialized training and barely received any? No?

No memorial service? No offers for any kind of counseling to those who are struggling with having to sit on that knowledge or who aren't used to death? Just going to pretend it never happened?

Okay just checking.

STEVE & WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THE FARM; delayed.

I'm done with Defense. I would appreciate being put on the farm with my sister. It would behoove you to take the advice being given in the conversation between Rogue and I, but if you don't take it then it won't be my problem anymore, anyway

WHO: Jack and Derek
WHERE: Outside the community center.
WHEN: Early Thursday evening
WHAT: Freaky children getting under Jack’s skin. And a spider maybe doing more less figuratively.
WARNINGS: Likely violence, possibly Jack dying, will update if anything else comes up.
STATUS: Closed/Incomplete

( He kept wondering if something had been done to them )

CHARLIE DEFENSE.

Suit up if you have suits, and hope for the best if you don't. We'll meet in the community center and go from there to set up this rope to medical and then patrol that area since we'll already be there. Giving me a heads up you wanted to volunteer the group wouldn't have sucked, Peter, just fucking saying. I wouldn't have said no. Sound like a plan?

Also, if you're new to Charlie, I'm Derek.

CORA.

Stay inside if you can. I have to go out on patrol. No matter what you hear, just please stay inside. Okay? Please.

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?

Well, that was fun.

Sorry about the show to the two guarding the gate. But c'mon. You want to try to tell me that you've never shown up in another world butt naked? No? Just me? 'Kay, cool.

I'm Nick.

Also, don't want to alarm anyone, but in case you haven't realized... As I was heading in, the vast majority of the wildlife was getting the hell out of dodge.

Could be the fog. It's probably the fog. If it weren't for the thick smell of death in the air


[OOC: Whoever wants to say they were on guard, feel free!]

I feel like anything I say here is going to pale in comparison to Bo's introduction.

Hey, I'm Sam Wilson. Just got here. Spent a couple days outside before I stumbled upon this place. Caroline tells me that there are some friendly faces here though.

The supply run was pretty successful, we've got the basic necessities but I managed to grab some stuff that people wanted, I tried to remember as much as I could.

Joey, I was able to grab some medical books for you. I hope they're alright.

For those of you who were looking for other types of literature, I grabbed a lot of fiction, some non fiction (mostly historical), comics that didn't have any familiar names, mythological books, psychology, fantasy, crafting, language, and a whole bunch of basic school text books. They look like they mostly range from the 100 to the 200 levels. I managed to grab some movies, too, and CD's.

Rogue. I found socks.

[TEAM FLASH.]

I found a comic book about myself. And a couple of others about other people here. I didn't bring them back.

[Sunday morning]

Do you know what's awesome?

Sex. Sex is awesome.

I feel amazing.

[Isaac]

That was awesome. I'm so glad we did that.

If you want to do it again, just message me or something, okay? Because I totally want to do it again.

[Derek]

Are you going to help me be human then?

Okay, so five of us are down for playing poker. Not a bad number but we could use a couple more players to make seven.

Tonight's doable if that works for all of us or tomorrow. Let me know and I'll set up a table at the community center.

[Edit]
So far it's shaping up like it'll be tonight.

Do they know about you? I'm still not sure I even understand I haven't said anything, I've been very careful. It would be good to know, though, whether you're telling them or not so I can continue as I've been or go along with you so I don't seem dodgy.

Alright so there's been a lot of new people again in the past bit and it looks like it might not be letting up any time soon so I thought I'd go over a few things here. I'm Steve for anyone I haven't talked to yet, and I was one of the first people to arrive here. We've been operational since May of last year and though we don't know why, our numbers have all but doubled in the past two months. That's a lot of new people in a short amount of time and I know a lot of us are coming from some very different worlds and lives from each other. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or suggestions about anything, bring it up. I know it sounds cheesy, but we're all in this together.

Dr. Snow mentioned it, but it bears repeating, if you missed out on her initial round of testing - or have even changed your mind since then - be sure to talk to her. A cure or vaccine might be too late for the original inhabitants of this world but could keep us and anyone else coming through safe.

If you're interested in learning some foundations of defense skills Derek runs a class every other day at the Community Center - make sure to talk to him if you want to join. If anyone is interested in learning some more advanced techniques comment here and we can get you set up.

We will be doing a supply run soon so if there is anything anyone needs, please let me know. As always I'll take the wishlist but make no guarantees.

NATASHA.

Hey, can I ask you something?

KATE.

Is there a specific day you needed to go out of Camp, or is it flexible? Ideally I'd like to make sure it didn't line up with days some of us are already out on supply runs - which I'm trying to get going toward the end of the week here.

TOSH.

Let me know what's needed to make the CCTV a reality, I'll find as much of it as we can when we're out.

DEFENSE.

We need to stock up. Badly. If the growth keeps up at this rate we're going to burn through resources. If you haven't talked to Cisco about getting a suit, do it. Unless Dr. Snow has cleared you as immune no one goes on a run without adequate protection. I'd like to head out toward the end of the week. We've got myself, Sara, Natasha, Barry, and Rogue with suits, did I miss anyone? I'd like to go out with enough that we could split up and cover more ground once we hit the cities, if we could do three and three that would be ideal.

So I guess I should probably introduce myself to the camp so no one has to wonder who the new guy is. Sup, I'm Peter, I'm the one with the really cool helmet. I'll also probably be the guy you hear singing random stuff which may or may not include Disney, don't judge, they're classics too.

I've been placed on the Charlie defense team and it looks like I'm rooming with a Chris Argent.

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?
