we'll open up a restaurant in santa fe

[venatical]

Who: Reconstruction Club and whoever wants to come by to visit.
When: um... let's say a backdated Day 79 through Day 81? This could be flexible, too.
Where: The semi ruined diner.
What: Cleaning the diner site! Rebuilding the diner! Eating lunch/taking breaks!

The first day, Day 79 Dean's learned from the people who've been here the longest, is mostly spent doing the menial stuff -- making the site workable and cleaning it up a bit, and then training some of the people less familiar with what's going on, figuring out who should handle what and what's safe.

After that it's a matter of slowly getting everything together. Checking the foundation, fixing up the floor, rebuilding the walls, patching the roof. There's some electrical work to figure out and be careful with because some of the equipment is salvageable, so the wiring has to be checked, that kind of thing.

Dean, Erik, and Tony dole out the orders, keep an eye on everyone. Their supplies are what they've managed to gather or whatever people might've brought in.

"Hm." She canted her head to the side, considering that. "That sounds like a great idea. And that way we could see what buildings are being used and what buildings aren't, if newcomers need an idea of where to go poking for housing."

Fortescue's tone turns slightly wry at newcomers. She really hopes that they won't keep piling in. Pretty soon, they'll run out of space. And then there's the idea of more people being trapped in this experiment. But regardless, more and more seem to arrive.

"We just need names, maybe a gender if we're feeling fancy. It's a little less personal than medical records." She smiles. "Or an alias that someone will respond to."

It'll be quite awkward when the houses fill up and people have to start doubling up on rooms. Until recently Donna hadn't even had any housemates and now her house was filling up. Not to mention the food shortage. Eventually they will run out and war will ensue.

"Sounds like a plan!"

[blackmagus]

Fortescue nodded, having another long sip of her tea. It was good to have plans, here. It made things seem less out of their control. The list, rebuilding, all of the other projects going on — it made the Cape seem a little less dour. To her, at least.

"Did people really raise that much of a fuss when a doctor asked medical records? I was hesitant to report my magic, at first, but..." She shrugged. "Seems like it would be beneficial for the resident medical experts to know what's going on there."

[noblexcompanion]

"They practically told her where to shove her medicals. It was practically pitchforks at dawn." Or well, what she can remember of it. It seems forever ago. And Donna hadn't exactly been a willing guinea pig herself.

"Hm." Fortescue smiled wryly. "From what I've been gathering so far, I suppose that's not surprising. A lot of strong-willed people, here. ...and I imagine many of them aren't a fan of vampires."

[noblexcompanion]

"Well, there is that too. But name and sex isn't exactly prying too much right? We might have better luck. You can just smile sweetly at everyone - a little good cop, bad cop or sommat."

[blackmagus]

She chuckled softly, grinning and joking, "We'll have to scrounge up some badges. It'd be a nice change, not having to be the bad cop."

[noblexcompanion]

"Ohh. We totally need badges. Everyone should have badges. It's going to be fun, right?"

[blackmagus]

"If it's not, we'll make it fun." Fortescue continued to grin. "No sense in letting what may be a bunch of grumps ruin our day."

"I knew there was a reason I liked you!" Look out Cape Kore. A new tag team is coming your way!
