Location: A random hallway

Being a maintenance technician, Hunter had quickly adapted to being on-call; anyone could need him anywhere depending on where the issue was. Thankfully, they were a fast learner so they had already picked up on how to fix most issues. His days were unpredictable, but he didn't mind because that meant that his thoughts were kept away from the things going on outside. Today, they were meeting with a resident in the prison who was having an issue, but they were given little information on what the said problem was.

"Right, so what's wrong?" He inquires, trying to get an idea of where to start.

She was being rude and deep down she knew that, a flash of egret making it visible on her face.

Hyunwoo wasn't sure if he was technically allowed up here, but there wasn't exactly a padlock on the door, so he decided to take his chances. Smoking was a habit he wasn't very proud of, and the urge only struck whenever he was incredibly stressed— like now. He flicked the lighter a few times before the flame finally caught and then inhaled the stale nicotine, blowing out a little while later and closing his eyes. The days in Phoenix were mild right now thanks to winter, but the mornings were still cold enough to chill one's bones as the remnants of nighttime freeze warnings ebbed away into yellowing skies. He didn't mind the cold, though. In fact he planned to stay outside for at least an hour when he heard the door to the rooftop access creak and quickly put out his cigarette as if he'd been caught doing something wrong.

"... Hey—" he finally said after a moment, turning his head to see who it was. "I didn't think anyone else would be up this early. This place isn't off-limits, right?"

"No it isn't out of bounds. What are you doing up here though?"

Vitamin C is important. James's words rung through her head like a bell as Shenandoah stepped out into the rec yard. The ground itself had been turned into fields for crops, and was mostly occupied by the gardeners. But there were still other members of the group lounging in the Arizona sun, training, or fighting to keep the basketballs inflated. She knew that she likely looked quite the sight, with her sundress, matching hat, and sandals, but sometimes she liked to feel like the world hadn't fallen apart. She took a seat on bleachers, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and a halfway decent box of matches before lighting one. Spotting a figure making their way over, she takes a drag, already pulling another cigarette out of the pack. "If you're about to ask to bum a smoke, just know that I expect two from the next pack you get."

"I'll keep that in mind if I ever go out scavenging again." Her role meant she normally stayed within the walls but she was honest when she said she'd keep an eye out. "You okay?"

Ajita bit their bottom blood as they looked at the flickering light bulb overhead. It was working on their nerve, yet they were far too tiny to reach it, and the ladder they'd managed to find wasn't even getting them half-way there. How did these people used to do this?

Not that it mattered, they were fixating because it was easier to stand in an empty hallway than to move among the people of this place. They'd heard all the gossip by now, had questioned everything, becaues without evidence there was no way to figure it out.

And they'd gotten enough dirty looks for suggesting they would help out if they were asked. They would be a great council member, just saying.

"I need to let this be," they said, taking a deep breath. Then noticed someone moving down the hallway. "Do you happen to have like... wings or something? A jetpack would be fine too, anything to get me all the way up there." The light two stories up flickered again just for good measure.

She moved over with a slight frown uncertain what they meant when the light flickered and she gave a small smirk instead.

"What exactly are you planning on doing once you're up there? Lightbulbs aren't easily found and we need this area lit."
