Futuristic Brain Burger

".. So... You got a lot of people here?" Chandler asked, Nathan shrugged.


"Sort of." He said, beginning to lead him down the stairs. "We've got over ten now. I'll say that."


"I see... Who's leadin' the group?" He asked out of curiosity, tripping once again but reaching out and taking hold of Nathan's shoulder while they walked.


"That would be my brother - Norman... Me and him found this place..." He said as he walked him into the kitchen; Chandler stood in the doorway and glanced upon everyone for a moment. Nathan stepped inside and watched as Norman looked up at him. ".. He woke up... This is Chandler." Nathan stated simply. (@Stew, @Soul OMU, @32sillylight32, @Vaila, @Huntrey)
 
"Hello, Clary." He said to her, he then turned to Elizabeth. "Heh, I think everyone's been pretty nice as I'm not serving as a popsicle for the Shamblers' out there." He said with a soft laugh as he near enough collapsed into the chair; Norman reached out with one open hand, giving a soft smile at him. Chandler looked into his eyes for a moment and secretly sighed to himself - he'd seen the same pair of troubled and devastated eyes on other people, and it only brought back memories of his previous group.


"I'm Norman..." He said to him, Chandler gripped his hand with his own shaky one and weakly shook it for a few moments.


"Yeah, Nathan told me about you already... I'm really grateful for the help you've given me, sir... I'd be dead right now if it wasn't for you."


"Heh, don't thank me, thank them," He said as he nodded towards Brianna and Nathan. "If it wasn't for them goin' outside you'd still be out there right now." He said, Chandler gave a slightly humored smile as he turned and nodded to them. (@Soul OMU, @Vaila)
 
Brianna giggles softly before smiling. "It was nothing really. Besides I'm just glad that my coat, hat and gloves helped slightly." she said while looking at him and shrugging her shoulders. Elizabeth gave her sister a look. "You probably would have frozen yourself Brie." she said while giving her a stern look. Brianna shrugs. "Hey, he needed it more then me." she said and smiled. (@DrTrollinski)
 
"It's all appreciated, really." Chandler said simply.


Norman inspected his shaky hands for a moment and then took a deep breath, waiting a few moments before speaking out to him.


"How long's it been since you last ate, kiddo?" He asked, Chandler looked up at him for a moment and gulped, glancing around.


"It's been... Nearly three days now." He said, forcing a broken smile at him; Nathan sighed and shook his head before looking off to Nathan. ".. You don't have to give me anything, if you don't want to... I can leave once the snow's stopped." He stated, giving a dead-serious look to Norman; Norman shook his head and frowned once again.


"You crazy? You've just smacked your head, nearly froze to death, haven't eaten in three days, and you think we're just gonna' throw you back out there? Don't be ridiculous. Nathan - Get him some of the soup and a hot coffee, eh?" He said to him; Chandler's face lit up with amazement at the mention of the 'hot' part of things.


"Hot coffee... I'm sorry, but... HOT coffee?" He questioned. Norman turned to him and nodded while Nathan fixed up the food and drink for him.


"We have power here, hot water, beds, enough food and water for a few months, and decent defences - We do have rules, though. I'll explain those to you once you've eaten." He said, he got nothing but a bright smile and nod in response; he watched Chandler's eyes follow Nathan as he placed the bowl of soup and hot coffee down in front of him; he instantly picked up the spoon and tried lifting some soup to his mouth, but his shaky hand caused it all to spill back into the bowl. (@Soul OMU)
 
Elizabeth looks at Brianna but sees her moving already to help him. "Here I'll help you since you nearly froze to death and I doubt your fingers are completely ready yet to function." she said while picking up the spoon and scooping some up for him.


Elizabeth smiles a bit as she watches her sister help him out and sips her tea. "Your too sweet sometimes Brie." she said with amusement twinkled in her eyes. Brianna gives a small smile. "I just like to help people who can't help themselves sometimes or when they don't seem to know that they do need help." she said softly while feeding Chandler carefully. (@DrTrollinski)
 
(Use a different color for Brie's dialogue. For me that color's very hard to read :3)


Chandler places his shaking hands down on the table but looks relieved to finally be eating; he lets Brianna feed him without hesitation; Norman watches her and smiles and Nathan does the same - Chandler looks eternally grateful, though. They quite physically see all of the colour return to his face now that he had food in her stomach. (@Soul OMU)
 
( xD Kay.)


Brianna feeding Chandler by spooning the soup for him. "I'm glad that mine and my sister's soup is okay, i'm not that great at cooking as she is..." she said with a shy smile. Elizabeth snorts slightly. "Oh stop being so bashful. Your just as good as me." she said while sipping her tea and watching the boys. (@DrTrollinski)
 
"I don't care how good or bad it is. It tastes pretty damn good to me." He said between a spoonful of soup, smiling at her.


"That's because you ain't eaten for three days, kiddo." Norman said to him, smiling as he watched him eating the soup Brianna was feeding to him.


".. That must be what's makin' this taste like a gourmet dish, then." He says after another spoon, laughing lightly in humor. Nathan would laugh for a moment and then sit down in between Norman and Elizabeth, merely watching him eat the soup that he'd prepared for him. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna smiles a bit and giggles slightly into her hand. "Probably... But Nathan ate it and he seems fine." she said while feeding Chandler carefully.


Elizabeth smiles while sipping her tea and wrapping an arm around Nathan. "You both did very well with taking care of him." she said while looking at him. (@DrTrollinski)
 
"Heh. I was just the muscle, Elle." Nathan said to her. "If we'd given it ten more minutes and I hadn't shown up to kill off the walkers, I don't think Chandler would be sittin' here with us. In that sense I took care of him." He said quietly, hugging her in return.


"Well... As long as it doesn't give me food poisoning you can give me whatever food you want." He said with a chuckle; due to the speed he was eating, the soup would now be all gone. He slowly picks up his cup of coffee with both hands and quickly drinks it down, sighing in relief before placing it back down on the table.


"How you feeling, Chandler?" Norman asked him, leaning back in his chair.


"Much better, Much, much better. I'll find a way to repay you, I promise." He said with a nod and smile, he then turned and looked up at Brianna. ".. Thank you." He said quietly to her.


"There's not gonna' be any need for that. You can pay us back by followin' the rules and helpin' us out on runs and buildin' up defences." He said with a smile, Chandler nodded at him and took a deep breath before glancing around. "You should go take a shower. I'm sure it'd help after you were out in the cold for so long." He added.


"Uh..." He'd slowly rise up to his feet, glancing around. "Mind pointin' me in the right direction?" He asked, Norman nodded but then looked to Nathan.


"Nathan. Go get him some clean clothes from your room and bring 'em down, then show him where the shower is." He instructed, with a quick nod Nathan ran out and disappeared upstairs. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna waited for him to be gone before tugging on Norman's sleeve. Once Norman came down to her level she began to speak. "He is 12 years old, just turned on July 3rd, he was on his way to Virginia..." she said softly before letting him stand back up and putting the bowl in the sink to be washed along with his cup. Elizabeth blinks in surprise and looks at Norman. "Virginia? That's... quite south of here ain't it?" she said softly. (@DrTrollinski)
 
".. Only seven-hundred miles south." Norman said quietly, sighing in a slightly sympathetic manner. "He's lucky we found him." He added. Soon enough Nathan came back down with some clean clothes for him and then showed him the way to the Men's Bathroom/Shower Room.


"It's just here, pal." He said as he handed him the pile of folded up clothes. "Don't be too long. Try and keep it down to a few minutes." He said with a nod, Chandler smiled at him and nodded, looking at the ground for a few moments; he looked back up after a while with slightly saddened eyes.


"Thank you... For everything you've done today, Nathan... It... It really means a lot." He gives a few nods and takes the clothes from him, followed by disappearing into the bathroom to take a shower; Nathan returns to the group and sits down in his seat, nodding at Norman. "He's good."


"Good... Good work, both of you." He said to Brianna and Nathan, he then glanced around at all of them and took a deep breath. "He's a nice kid... Looks like he's had a rough journey so far, though." He stated. (@Soul OMU)
 
Elizabeth and Brianna nod slightly. "I just hope that he'll be okay... Cuz he could leave if he wanted... After being helped... Cuz he was pretty scared and cried when we told him this wasn't Virginia..." Brianna said softly. (@DrTrollinski)
 
".. I can imagine... I'll talk to him in a few minutes upstairs and I'll try and find out more about him. I don't think he'll leave - The kid asked us if we WANTED him to leave, plus, did you hear everythin' he was sayin'? How he was gonna' pay us back and how grateful he was? He's a keeper, trust me." He said to them all. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna nodded and got up. "So I have a question... What's in the black bag?" She asked and grinned. Elizabeth got up and walked to their room to change the sheets slightly since there were milk stains from Chandler. (@DrTrollinski)
 
He watched Elizabeth walk out and then turned to Brianna again, leaning towards her. ".. If I tell you, can you promise to keep it secret?" He asked her quietly. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna nodded as she moved closer. "Mhm! I'm good at keeping secrets." She said with a smile. (@DrTrollinski)


-----


Elizabeth takes the bedding downstairs to clean it, checks on Annie in the Gym.


Annie sweating and panting, finished punching the bag, shaking slightly as she sits down and covers her face with her hands, sobbing slightly.


Elizabeth worried, walks in and sits by her. "Hey... It's okay..." She said and hugs her. Annie sobbing softly and leans against her. "I-I just don't know what to do Eliza... I don't want to push but... Still... I thought he could trust me..." She said. (@Huntrey)
 
"Alright, well... You can't tell Ellie, but in the bag there's two rings inside a small box." He whispers to her, giving a soft smile thereafter.

Chandler would have just gotten out the shower and would now be sat on the bench beside his clothes with a towel wrapped around his lower body. He almost forgot what a hot shower felt like; it was relieving, but he had the most horrible and paining feeling in his gut that just brought tears to his eyes; he didn't know where any of the stuff that he had with him was, but he hoped he could find it at some point - he had one picture of him and his parents, a bottle of water, and some magazines for his father's pistol. He sat on the bench, leaned over with his hands linked in front of him while he thought to himself. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna gasps and covers her mouth. "Oh my gosh! Normy that's amazing and super duper cute! Anyways I won't tell her. I think I'm going to scout out a bit so I'll be back." She said while getting off the chair and grabbing her stuff and heading outside again to where they found Chandler and decides to try and backtrack where he might have come from. She starts walking towards a car that looks like it had just rolled up a few hours ago from the tracks and unlocks the car before getting in it to look around. (@DrTrollinski)
 
Chandler would get up from the bench and dry himself off; he gets changed into his clothes and goes over to the mirror, brushing his hair aside with one of his hands. He faintly smiled before folding up the towel he used, followed by putting it back where he found it so it could dry off. He went out into the kitchen and rejoined Nathan and Norman. He took a seat and glanced around.


"So. Ready to hear the rules, pal?" He asked, Chandler gave a brief nod and shrug.


"Sure."


"Okay... We'll go up to the Dispatcher's Office to talk, alright?" He said as he stood up - Chandler didn't hesitate on following him upstairs and into the office he spoke of - he sat down at the desk and watched as Norman walked around to the other side of it and took a seat as well after shutting the door to the office. Chandler got more nervous as soon as he sat down; he quickly darted his eyes around and started to look slightly panicked. "You okay, kiddo?" He asked him.


Chandler nodded quickly a few times and forced a smile. "Yeah, yeah, yeah... Yeah, I'm fine... Just nervous. This is kinda' what I imagine a job interview to be like." He said, giving a nervous laugh. Norman shook his head and chuckled.


"Heh, no, no... I just want to chat, that's all. Relax, Chandler. It's fine." He stated with a reassuring nod; Chandler took a deep breath and lied back in his chair, nodding at him. Norman spent five minutes explaining the rules to him first off while Nathan stayed sat down in the kitchen. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna searching around the car, looking for something that might give her a clue when she notices something sticking out of the glove box and quickly yanking it open to find a photo, some magazines and a frozen bottle of water. She blinked slightly as she picked up the magazines and the photo, noticing Chandler in the photo as well before putting both articles into her coat pocket and looking out to notice some Walkers just wandering about but nowhere near her so she got out of the car and quickly made her way back and inside before closing the door and locking it and leaning against it. (@DrTrollinski)
 
She'd find a small 4-inch bladed knife on the floor in front of the passenger seat, but nothing more. In the back of the car there's empty cans and bottles. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna also picked up the 4-inch bladed knife from the floor as she made her way back to the Department, closing and locking the door as she got back. She took off her boots and headed upstairs to take off her jacket, gloves and scarf, taking the items out of her jacket pockets and putting them in her hoodie pocket as she made her way to the Dispatcher's Office and knocking.
