Status: Incomplete; dropped

You're a leader now, Sid, the Doctor had said. Something to the effect, at least. Sidney Jenkins was, first and foremost, a follower in life. All through his life. The idea of having to take an initiative was bad enough but to take one that seemed like it was fairly important was almost too much for Sid to take. The easier thing would be to pass it off on someone else, but he couldn't think of anyone who would want a burden like trying to play a shepard to a bunch of scared and/or aggressively angry people. With that thought, Sid decided he was probably the last person who should be leading anyone.

Still, the least he could do was at least start clearing the rubbish from beneath the stage. If people needed to hide, it was just as good a place as any and it'd be easy to barricade, as there was only one way in or out - a small trap door in the green room.

The idea that they'd be in more danger hiding in a place like that briefly crossed Sid's mind. That perhaps they'd be even more vulnerable in an enclosed space; sitting ducks. He didn't say anything about it, though, because it wasn't his place, he didn't think. Instead, Sid just sat on the stage and waited to see if anyone would show to help him. The hell he was going to drag all that shit out from under the stage alone.

Bob didn't actually have any need to relocate. He liked it at the Not-Quick-Stop. In fact, he wasn't going to leave the Not-Quick-Stop because Jay was there and shit and he knew he could trust Jay. He could trust Cheryl, too, he thought.

He'd been skimming the fucking journals and saw that that Doctor dude had told Sid to set up the Theater - and Sid was fucking doing it, too. Bob had to give Sid props and shit - Bob wouldn't have known where to start.

So, trundling from the Not-Quick-Stop to the theater Bob made up his mindn that he'd do whatever he could to help that kid out and shit. Besides, most of the people here were nice and deserved a place to stay if they didn't have one already.

So, there was Bob poking his head into the theater and looking around until he caught sight of Sid up on the stage. From the back aisle he waved before heading up to the platform and taking a seat beside sit.

Sweet.

Cheryl was a bit muddy and a bit wet as she walked down the middle aisle of the theater but mostly she was just frustrated that her idea of digging under the glass walls had failed. In retrospect, she did realize that it was too obvious of a solution to ever work but that thought just made her feel stupid for even trying it; what good was she, anyway, if she couldn't even think up a workable plan for escaping this glass prison?

Still, Sid had helped to convince her that it was better to actually do something productive rather than run off on her own and so she had decided to come help clean out some of the junk at the theater. She did seem just a bit surprised when she spotted Bob sitting beside the young Brit but she offered the both of them a slight smile as she hopped up to sit on Sid's other side.

"I'm not late, am I?"

When the sound of the door snapped Sid out of his trance - he'd zoned out and was staring at the fine lines between the thin wood panels of the stage - he looked up and raised his eyebrows. The quiet guy from the petrol station? "All right?" he asked, grinning slightly. Nice, at least somebody was going to help him drag the shit out from under there. He gave Bob a nod and then when the other man sat down beside him, he looked over at him. "Feel like doing some heavy lifting?" he asked as a lopsided grin spread over his lips.

Sid's focus moved at the sound of someone else approaching and he offered Cheryl a slight wave. "Nah, mate," he replied, shaking his head as she settled on the stage on his other side. "I'm trying to figure out where we're going to put everything..." he said pensively, pushing his glasses up on his nose and then scratching the back of his head. "The door is down in the green room, but there's not enough room in there for all of it...only, I don't really fancy dragging those chairs up from there to leave 'em here, either..."

He looked back and forth between the two of them in hopes that either one of them would have an idea of what they should do with the stuff under the stage once they got it out from under there.

Bob's feet were swinging over the lip of the stage. It was pretty nice in here, and it didn't smell like ass like the Not Quick Stop. Whatever Jay had been eating, he needed to stop.

When the Brit asked him if he fucking wanted to lift shit; Bob shrugged. He wasn't particularly looking forward to lifting - that was work and shit.

Bob hadn't caught Cheryl's entry and the only reason he knew anybody was coming is that the Brit fucking started waving. Looking up the aisle he caught sight of Cheryl, covered in mud and looking a bit pissed off or disappointed or something.

Bob pointed at the door, 'out-fucking-side' his mime said. It seemed like the obvious fucking solution and shit. Put the shit out there - it's not like it really fucking mattered, they weren't putting on a play or some shit any time soon.
