[ Time for a small PSA from Desmond. ]Hey, guys. There's a few of you guys who are new to the city. I figure most of you have your questions answered, but here's what we know so far: Mandalus is a planet in a different reality. The System brought us here to help fight their war, because they think it's going to spread into our worlds and destroy

M-m-monsters? Sure don't like the sound of that....

[milesawayfrom]

I'm guessing you're not used to monster invasions?

[malfunctionbot]

Not really, to be honest. Most we ever had t'deal with was what-what-whatever happened to p-pop outta the multi-dimensional void in my baby brother's chest.

[milesawayfrom]

...The multi-dimensional void out of your brother's chest? [ What the fuck. ]

[The sun's been long down when Kate gets a chance to visit. With Will gone, Kate's second in command at the Sanctuary and that means quite a bit of paperwork and working closely with Dr. Magnus. Kate approaches the building, Chinese takeout in one hand, a six pack in the other. Once inside, she calls his name once.] Jumper! Food!

[milesawayfrom]

[ Desmond looks over from what will eventually be the main desk. He gives Kate a weak smile. His head is still reeling from the death of an ally, and it's bothering him more than maybe it should be. ]

Hey, Kate. Your mom finally let you out to go play?

[isnotforsale]

Yeah. Did my chores and my homework and she said I had to be back by eleven. [She rolls her eyes.] I'm staying out until eleven-thirty. I'm a rebel. [She crosses over to the main desk, setting the bag and the beers down and moves to hug him. She can tell he's off-kilter. He may have a good pokerface, but she's good at reading him. Should be, by now.]

How you doing? [She asks softly, rubbing his side soothingly.]

[milesawayfrom]

You? With a curfew? That's hard to believe. [ He crossed his arms and gave her a look. That's right, Kate. Desmond doesn't buy it. Then he wraps an arm around her, pressing her close for a moment. ]

I'm ... okay. How are you holding up?

[Clay's there a little after sunset, checking out his cousin's new digs.] So we're gonna have a secret back room to play poker in? Like in the movies?

[milesawayfrom]

If you think we can get Ezio to play poker. [ Desmond shoves his hands in his pockets. ] We gotta find out where to put the secret room first.

[broketheloop]

Mind if I have a look around? Maybe I can help pick the secret spot. [He takes a glance around the main area.] You thinking somewhere underground, or do you wanna be able to access it from the roof?

[milesawayfrom]

You're good at finding secret shit. [ There's a gesture for Clay to have himself a hayday. ] There's a room in the back that has a hole that leads down to the Underground. I'd figure we'd start there.

[ Kaylee's quick to arrive before the last light of day can go buh bye. She's armed, and with more than just the sizable food bag in her hands, but she's still not getting herself caught by monsters. The pack on her is full of tools for her current project in his bar: fixing up the wiring so they can get some really sweet lighting set up. She's right at home amongst all the wires, and as she gets herself all set up she feels calmer already. It's stressful traveling again :C ]

Des, I'm back!

[milesawayfrom]

[ He peaks out from over the railing of the second floor. That's right. SECOND floor. ]

All in one piece, Kay?

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Second floor, badass. ] Yep! Got all my limbs still. They were just comin' out for the night an' those zombies ain't too quick. [ She holds up the large food bag. Cue angelic choir. ] I brought ya food!

[milesawayfrom]

I shouldn't be surprised this place has zombies. [ And yet, somehow, he is. ] Yeah? What'd you bring?

[Even as completely doped up on painkillers as she is, she has to try to figure out what is going on. Monsters are her kind of thing, after all.]

...What kinda monsters are you talkin' about?

[milesawayfrom]

I've heard about some ghosts from the people wandering the streets. I haven't seen any monsters face to face yet.

[daddysknife]

Damn. Is there a local graveyard?

[milesawayfrom]

Yeah... there's a few actually. Why?
