[ The first thing that can be seen when the feed clicks on is a shitload of green. Then Mason shifts the comm so it's focused on him. ] So, this oxygen garden. How's it work? Is there someone that takes care of it and decides who gets to plant what, or is it more a community free for all? [ He needs to try to plant some Wolfsbane because when it runs out, life is going to suck. Not only for him but for everyone on board. ] And if someone's in charge of it, could somebody tell me how to get a hold of them?

ooc: open to action with whoever might be in/near the oxygen garden!

[ a laugh ]

Wow, third wave sounds so much cooler than this actually is. But in my defense, I don't think the people who've been here long know much more than we do.

Yeah, I've definitely noticed that. Makes you wonder how long it's going to be before that finally changes.

What, you think it will?

Maybe. Considering this entire place is a guessing game, it's hard to assume either way.

Can't say it makes survival look all that promising.

Not really, but we're doing okay so far, right? That's gotta count for something. I mean, if whatever brought us here wanted us dead, we'd be dead already. [ Or re-dead. ]

Not to sound like, totally morbid, but.

Maybe it just likes to play with it's food.

[ If Mason were talking to, say... Katherine, he might actually laugh at that because the idea's hilarious. It shouldn't be, but it is. Instead, he just nods a little. ]

I guess there's always a chance of that, yeah, but it's just more of a reason to make sure we're ready to fight off whatever it is that comes next.

What about those of us who can't?
Fight I mean.

You learn. [ He says it like it's the most obvious thing in the world because, to him, it is. ] I'm sure you could find someone to train with you.

[ a laugh. her gaze cuts off screen. ]

Yeah right.

What? You don't think you can find someone?

Well let's just say I don't see a whole lot of people around here willing to get into fisticuffs with a fourteen year old girl.

Have you even bothered asking around? There has to be at least one person here who'd do it.

[ THE MOST SKEPTICAL LOOK ]

Would you?

[ He shrugs. As long as she doesn't expect him to use his full strength. ] Sure. Why not? Everyone should at least know a little self defense.

[ he doesn't need to say it for her to know what he's thinking. much less for her to drag it into the open. her hand waves distractedly, and hayley's expression might be more irritable if everything about her demeanor didn't say i knew this was coming. ]

Yeah well a little isn't really good enough, you know?
If something's out there, if someone really wants to hurt people, it's not gonna have a limit. It's not gonna go easy on me, like- [ her voice deepens, imitation. ]'Well, there ya' go half pint, guess a little smack's enough' just because I'm a kid.

[ He laughs at the imitation and nods. ] Alright, yeah, you've got a point. If you're serious about this and you really want my help, I'll teach you everything I know. [ Most of what he can do is pretty basic, he's just a hell of a lot better at it than most because of his werewolf strength. ] I'm warning you now, though, and I'm not a black belt in Judo or anything.

[ -a grin ]
What you mean you're not a regular Mister Miyagi?

Unfortunately, no. That would be pretty convenient, though.

Well. As long as you aren't going to go around calling me grasshopper.

See, now you're just taking all the fun out of it for me.
