This wasn't so bad. I forgot what it was like to sleep under the stars without having to keep my guard up the entire time. Hunting without having to watch my back was a nice change of pace. ~~I'm still waiting to wake up from this~~

[Filtered to Gabrielle Delacour]
I'm bringing back several edible plants for whenever this ship returns us all to Texas. I hope you don't mind me keeping them on the patio so they can get proper light. They won't take up too much space.

	Of course I don’t mind! I’ll make sure to water them if they look extra thirsty. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You don't have to do that, but I appreciate it if you do. ~~I don't plan to leave the cabin much~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It’s really no bother at all. What sort of plants are they exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabrielle illprotectyou 2018-03-13 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Tomato, carrots onion, green beans, and pepper plants. I'm hoping they'll be ready to plant when we get to Texas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright! You’ll let me know if you’d like help whenever we get there, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabrielle illprotectyou 2018-03-13 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Sure, I can do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wonderful❤️ One of my- well she’s not really MY niece, so I suppose I’ll say friends from home is in the process of collecting plants to do some research on their properties so I’m dabbling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Their properties? Like their biology? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maggie astique 2018-03-13 01:36 am UTC (link)
	I think she’s trying to see what magical properties they possess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabrielle illprotectyou 2018-03-13 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Magic. I don't know anything about magic. It doesn't exist where I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um. This seems like a good time to mention that I’m a witch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. That why you carry a stick around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maggie astique 2018-03-13 01:50 am UTC (link)
	It is, yes. Um. Also. I don’t know if you met our new roommate, Tyler? He’s my boyfriend, and he’s currently not exactly alive? He’s not a Walker, I swear to you he isn’t, but he is a ghost? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabrielle illprotectyou 2018-03-13 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Ghost? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maggie astique 2018-03-13 01:58 am UTC (link)
	He was ~~kil~~ killed back in his hometown but got dumped here, in addition to having a ton of memories of the place where we met forced into his head so it’s a work in progress. He’s not like a “boooooo I’m going to haunt you” ghost. He can’t eat, but sometimes he can touch things. I understand that it’s a lot to handle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabrielle illprotectyou 2018-03-13 02:01 am UTC (link)
	I see. That's an understatement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I still have trouble letting my guard down even when things seem safer. But I know what you mean. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's a strange feeling not having someone or something constantly hunting me down. In any case, I didn't sleep on the ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-13 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Why were you being hunted all the time? If you're comfortable answering. [...] I came here right out of an arena where I was fighting to the death. And even before that, my world had a way of constantly making people look over their shoulders. So I know what you're talking about. I like to sleep in trees or at least on high ground whenever I'm outside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There was an outbreak back in my world. Whenever people died they'd come back as Walkers. If we weren't being followed by Walkers, we were being hunted by truly evil people. One of the worst men I've ever met killed my father just before I was brought here.

I pitch my own tent if I have the materials, which I was able to find here. The stars are different from the ones back home.

	burningwings 2018-03-13 01:44 am UTC (link)
	I've heard about things like Walkers, but never see anything like them. I know a lot about truly evil people, though. [...] I'm sorry about your father. The stars are different in each world, and so is what we have available. It's nice when camping is fairly easy and I don't have to manage my supplies too closely, although I usually do anyway out of habit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-13 01:49 am UTC (link)
	A girl here called them something else, but it's a word I've never heard before. Thanks. He was a good man and he was taken too soon. I know about rationing supplies. We had to learn to live on what we could find. All this food? It's wasteful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Zombies? That's the only word I've heard that sounds like what you mean. It is. I'm just hoping they have enough of a supply to keep it up for however long we're here, or at least to last us with rations later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-15 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's what she called 'em. This cruise has been going on about two months? I think everyone could do with learning how to ration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 02:14 am UTC (link)
	I don't like the sound of those. The people who were in Mt. Weather with me at least know how to ration. It's just not instinct for a lot of them. They went along with it but they spent a lot of time complaining about missing pizza and chocolate and other things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-15 02:16 am UTC (link)
	As long as you know how to kill 'em you'd do fine. You kill the brain. But sometimes that means having to get right up next to one. You get used to it, even if you'd rather not. Pizza. God, it's been so long since I had that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I'll remember to shoot them through the eye, then. ~~Exactly like that~~ There were people who were trying to find pizza in every world we landed in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-15 02:23 am UTC (link)
	That'll do it. Well, I can't say I blame them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 02:28 am UTC (link)
	I don't know who they were, but if you asked around I'm sure you could find them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-15 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Maybe after I find Glenn and Beth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 02:38 am UTC (link)
	People from home? Not everybody from a world shows up at once. People from mine weren't around for a long time when I first showed up, and then they came and went and came back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-15 02:41 am UTC (link)
	My husband and sister. ....that sounds terrible. The waiting and then going, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-15 02:57 am UTC (link)
	It's just how this place works. Nothing's really permanent. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What sort of world did you come from where you were made to feel so unsafe? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-13 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	A while back there was an outbreak of this virus that brought people back when they died, but they'd go after people and eat them. They weren't really alive anymore. Then there's the matter of people. Sometimes they'd go after others, take what they had, kill them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	recruitable 2018-03-14 12:08 am UTC (link)
	That reminds me of an old ghost story my father would tell me, about the Nachzehrer. A person would come back from death and consume his own body and those of his family. Just a silly story used to frighten children. How terrible that it is a reality for you. From the sound of it, human society does not survive this virus? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-14 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Small groups survive and help each other. I became a part of Rick's group. They became my family. But a lot of people are gone, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	recruitable 2018-03-14 12:18 am UTC (link)
	You must be an incredibly strong individual to have endured so much and survived. I'm glad you get a respite here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-14 12:23 am UTC (link)
	I shouldn't be here. I should be back home, looking for my husband and sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	recruitable 2018-03-14 12:33 am UTC (link)
	I am not sure that it will help, but I was told when I arrived that even though I am here, I am also back where I was taken from. It does not seem logical, but nothing about this place does, truly. I arrived with a friend of mine, but our other friend joined us days later. It is possible that your family will also be sent here eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	illprotectyou 2018-03-14 12:36 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure it does help. There was a fight and we were separated, so I was looking for them when I came here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	recruitable 2018-03-14 02:06 am UTC (link)
	I hope you find them. Maybe you already have back home? (Reply to this) (Parent)
