location: Graveyard

Aaron's sleeping schedule had been a mess ever since the outbreak. Especially while traveling alone. There was no telling when you'd be woken up from your sleep by groaning biters or sometimes people looking to take from others. He'd slept in the middle of the day from exhaustion or traveled during the night. Redwood had given him some regularity that sometimes still found him waking up in the middle of the night to some imagined noise.

Still, he'd grown slowly accustomed to this new rhythm and as the night progressed and he made his way to the graveyard, he felt surprisingly wired. "Hey. I'm here to release you. Shift's over." Aaron said to the previous shift. A guy he'd never seen, which wasn't surprising. His jobs didn't give much of a chance to talk with people. Better introduce himself. "Aaron, by the way. I'm new here."

location: Redwood Bar

Vi wasn't really a drinker. She'd done enough of that when she was young. Then again, she also didn't mind the occasional stop by the bar, especially after a hard, long day of work, and especially when it involved the cursed laundromat. She could've asked Tamir and Jimmy but didn't feel like making her way across Redwood, and so, here she was, one of three fingers into her whiskey.

Though, she didn't stay alone for too long. A chair scraped across the scratched up wooden ground and a man sat himself down at the bar. Vi cast a sidelong glance at him, trying to figure out if she'd seen him before. Then again, she'd recognize a guy like him if she'd seen him around. "You know, if this was a normal bar, I'd probably buy you a drink. Lucky for both of us, they're free." Vi took a sip from her drink, feeling the alcohol burn in her throat. "Tough day, or do you just like going out for drinks on your own?"

location: library

Ares had never really been the person for brainwork. His mind wandered off pretty easily, one of the reasons he hadn't really been all that great in school. Being unable to move much hadn't really helped with that and so now, sitting at the check-out desk in the library, Ares found himself half-dozing to the point that he didn't notice the man until he was practically standing right in front of him.

Ares blinked himself back to reality and focused his attention on the newcomer. "Oh, sorry. Quiet day. Need to check out a book?" Looking up at the stranger, Ares was pretty sure he'd never seen him before. Plenty of new people here, recently. "If you have any book questions, you'll have to wait for Lucien, he's out right now. I'm just the sub right now. Should be back in half an hour though, if you want to wait around."
