    "Oh, I'm definitely going first," Rachel says. Finally. Clean water. But as she takes a step forward, she suddenly realizes something.

    "Ah, excuse me," she says to the attendant. "Is there anywhere secure we can put our belongings? I don't want to be taking my bow in the water."

    The old Yahnese woman smiles, nods, and shows you to a small locker room. White robes have been laid out the benches, each with key attached to its waistband.

    Deb neatly piles her belongings in one of the lockers, and takes the matching robe and key. "Is there a trash can around here? I never want to see these clothes again." After locking the door, she strips down and dons the robe, kicking her grimy prison rags into a pile under the bench. "These always feel weird," she says, running a finger down the white material. "Like, against my skin."

    Man shit happens to me all the time.

    I once got yelled into giving up my rightful place in line by a methed out mother of five.


    "MY BABIES CAN'T WAIT NO LONGER FOR THEIR BOB SHIRTS, THESE BOB SHIRTS GOTTA BE CLEAN FOR SCHOOL, SIR."

    "I'm sorry, but I really did get here about an hour and a half ago. I was literally putting the quarters in the machine when you walked in. I had no idea the unattended laundry in the washers were yours."

    "THESE DRYERS ARE MINE. I CALLED THEM."


    "Ok well this one is mine, it has my money."

    "DON'T MAKE ME CALL MY BOYFRIEND. HE IN THE MILITARY."

    "I somehow believe that entirely."

    Rachel follows Deb's lead, locking her belongings away and putting on the robe.

    "So, you remember you've worn a robe before," Rachel says to her. "That's something. Sadly, I can't remember if I like hotsprings or not. I probably do. This one seems very pleasant. Speaking of which..."

    She starts walking toward the bath. "Last one in is a rotten dudge."

    Nevan stares down at the cylinder. It's familiar, and yet something about it makes him want to start sweating. This thing hurts, he remembers, but the pain isn't what inspires this fear. Just looking at it makes him want to not touch it. Still, he was in this deep.

    His standards would not let him stop here.

    Insert the two hypos. Grip the handles. Speak the oath. "Against killing plague, or broken arm, truest threat or false alarm, against these things I myself arm, but I I swear this first..."

    "...to do no harm."

    ...to achieve my duty through deceit, guile and charm.

    The words leave his mouth and taste bitter, but he can make them sound truthful. He can always make them sound truthful.

    Dan tried to get a chance to speak to Syd alone. He looked into her eyes, wondering just what lay behind those beautiful eyes her mother had given her. Something looked different in those eyes, a fiery light that hadn't been there before. She was a tough girl, always had been, her father's daughter for sure. He gripped her shoulders.

    "Listen, we both know I would rather you stayed behind..." Before she could open her mouth and stubbornly argue, he went on. "But we also both know that you won't." Dan smiled grimly. "At the very least, I would rather you come to Jackson with me. We could see home..." If their home was still there... He shrugged, looking down. "But it's up to you, Syd. You're not a kid anymore." He suddenly stood up and walked quickly away, wiping his face with a hand.

    He found someplace alone, and sat, back against the wall of the lodge. He tilted the hat so it covered his face, and sat there, remembering. She really wasn't a kid anymore...

    After paying for his clothing upgrade, Nigel joins the group at the bathhouse. After the woman gives her instruction he bows slightly, clasps her hand, and whispers a chaste flirtation to the Yehense woman in her native tounge. If they wanted to figure out the little mystery of their forgotten past, it couldn't hurt to potenially have another set of eyes and ears in the bathhouse.

    Geeeze, such melodrama.

    I was planing on going with going with you anyway. I mean it's not that don't trust these random people we've joined up here. But that doesn't mean I want to go into city of hostile scavengers potenially armed to teeth with them either. In your boring town, at least you hold rank.

    Having a faction loyal to us, firstly, could come in handy if this little island goes all Lord of the Flies.


    I think De?ad mentioned something about Ex- Ms. McGee being in L.A. Since you guys are divorced and all.

    It's worth noting that Rich is instinctively aware that there are no living beings left in Mayfield. Over the last week his powers have likely proved useful enough that his word on that is believable, too.

    Ash would still want to go to her uncle's house. Partly for all the guns there, and partly for closure.

    Hmmm, if that's a known tidbit of information than Felix's reason for going there sorta evaporates.

    well I don't want to step on the planned narrative's toes here but richard doesn't exactly trust his new magical powers yet, and feels extremely uncomfortable telling people about them or discussing them
    he'd consider any feelings of death and doom a result of general sad times and not necessarily supernatural knowledge, and wouldn't go around claiming everyone was dead and he could just feel it guys, honest
