[Yeah. See. All that sounds plenty logical coming from him. But she's already angry, so???]

[She just gets real close into his business. She doesn't know or care that he's some kinda bigshot gangster. Tulip's been insulted and she doesn't happen to know when to cut her temper, so she makes sure he knows very well that she's currently holding a baseball bat, tapping it against her hand. One that's meant to be used for zombies, procured from the communal weapons supply, but she's got no problem using it for other things.]
Okay. So you're just a big man. And the big man thinks he ain't got no business watchin' so I don't get bit.
[She taps his shoulder lightly with the wooden bat.]
You don't gotta worry your pretty li'l head over that. I've taken out more'n just zombies on my own. Anyone's gonna be a liability, it'll be you 'n your ego, big man.
[Does she have to shoot down another helicopter just to get taken seriously around here??? Fuck.]

not that i had zombies where im from but id been gettin involved in some real nasty shit durin my last stint in lil old annville texas
then the town exploded so
yea guess u cant say it aint nothin i never seen b4
[Especially after meeting a real ass vampire, 'cause she swears, Cassidy's got a bigger penchant for getting himself into a gruesome mess than she does.]

[ Kevin's brow climbs, arching expertly, lips parting in what can only be described as sarcastic shock. This girl has pointed features, he notices--too pointed. Like his mothers. She's already in the hated category of his mind--most people are--but he sets her further back, like a doll on the last shelf in a little girls' room. ]
Really? I had no clue.
[ There's amusement in his eyes, or at the very least a look calculated to seem amused, and he shrugs. ]
Can you blame a guy for wanting to be a little more prepared?

[ morna's sorting through some things, thankful they do still have a stock on hand because they never know when newcomers will show up. when the woman approaches her she blinks and looks over at her, then smiles and nods slightly. ]
Morna's right. We've got a stock of, well, probably both sides of the coin. You're welcome to take a few sets of clothing. If you're going to stay inside the walls then whatever you'd like will probably work, but if you plan on going on any supply runs then I'd suggest the heavier-duty stuff.
[ she gestures then to the well-sorted shelves - organized by type and size. it's clear that morna takes her job seriously. there're jeans, t-shirts, dresses, coats, even a couple leather jackets. as far as shoes it's mostly sneakers or boots. no point to heels or sandals in the apocalypse. even dresses are pushing it. ] I take it you got the opening spiel already?

[Tulip looks over the supply. Yeah, she didn't expect heels, and didn't particularly want them anyway. She can be function over form where it counts, and she never did understand the point of heels. Apparently they make your ass look good somehow? Orrrrr how about you just wear some jeans that fit? People get real stupid for a girl with jeans that fit. And they're comfy.]
If y'mean the, uh, the pamphlet 'n all that, yeah, I got that. Zombies and shit. Saw the map, could barely read the handwritin', all that. Seems pretty simple when you get the gist of it. Really weren't... expectin' all this, but, you know. At least I can handle myself fine.
[Tulip's seen zombie movies, she can catch onto the basics quick. Meanwhile, there's kids here, just sorta... hangin' out and going to school and shit. Tulip can't say kids are a weak spot for her, but she also can't say it don't bother her at all.
She wanders over to where it looks like her size of clothing is stored.]
I might do a supply run at some point, yeah. Guessin' you don't want me takin' the heavy duty shit on a maybe, though.
[Which is unfortunate, because she looks good in a leather jacket.]

I agree entirely, though more survival-based rebuilding does take priority.I think it may be the world I come from that is the outlier. Violence has been eradicated, through medical regimen, removal of some societal concepts and changes in others, and certain augmentations of bodies.[Her world is................... really fucked up..............................]
Save for the exception of the Institute ensuring those implementations work, naturally. For the betterment of the society.Well, congrats, you're going to get a taste of the red zone. There's a scrapyard right between the border of Mid-Wilshire and Mid-City.
[ he gestures for daryl to follow him as he heads over to a truck parked near the entrance. ]
Most of the good junkyards are east of the city, but they're all either in red or black zones. Jags wants to focus on going up north, but I'd rather concentrate our efforts in clearing a path to East L.A.
[ climbing into the vehicle, carey inserts the key and turns on the ignition before he reaches into his back pocket to pull out a slip of paper. he hands it over to him. ]
This is the list. Take another look at it. Best case scenario, I find everything I need today, so I won't have to make a second trip out.

Yes, in a worst-case scenario we'll want to have the higher ground. My understanding is that this building has fire escapes as well, which may be a bit harder to climb, but should pose a problem to any of the undead.
[ Kei sold this place pretty well actually, it might even be kinda nice. ]

While Daryl's out on a supply run, he'll hear his walkie make that quiet beep that precedes an incoming message. Hester's voice, soft and calm and British, speaks over the channel he's been assigned for that run. "This is Base. Please confirm communication immediately. There's been an update."
Daryl keeps his walkie covered so the noise doesn't alert the walkers nearby and after the message plays through, he moves in to take the last two out, securing the building. It takes him another few minutes to finish checking that the doors aren't going to open any time soon or rattle from the wind and draw further attention, then he answers.
"This is Daryl. What's up?"
"This is Daryl. What's up?"
you're thinkin a bit short here
i'm not gonna be on the premises every single day 24/7
sometimes i'm out there w the rest of you and at a certain point signal cuts out
my boys can't be rememberin every single damn face that walks in through those gates who decides they don't wanna log in just yet either
they have plenty of other responsibilities too so i don't think it's too much to ask here when we require someone to take a few min out of their time to check in
unless you reckon everyone here should just drop what they're doin and cater to your self-righteous indignation every time you return and decide you're too good to sign your name real quick at the gate or go across the street from supplies to do it as if a min out of your time is more valuable than any of ours

On the other end, Hester breathes a sigh of relief at the quick response. She has no cameras, no way of knowing what's going on out there except for what is reported back to her, and because of the risk noise can cause for the runners, communications are limited only to what is absolutely necessary. "There's a group of the undead headed in your direction, estimated at about twenty. If you give me your current location, I can give you an alternate route to avoid them. That would be preferable over engaging."
It's not entirely dissimilar from the novel.
They don't have the resources to watch everyone. Only people of interest.
