esmé

Freedom. Kinda.

Mood: 
Curious

Who: Esmé and Bob
Where: The Bunker
When: Mid-morning? Maybe?

After the last few days, Esmé had really needed a day like this. For the first time in days, she felt like she was actually alive again, like she was free. She'd taken her new wheelchair on a tour of their new home- not like that had taken long. But her day was made complete when she'd entered one of the pretty pastel bedrooms. She'd looked in the other rooms but they were too drab and depressing. But in this room- it was as if someone had known she would pick this room.

They Moved Us Again!

Who: Anna and open to any and all bunker people
Where: Bunker main living area
When: Morning

The light was bright behind her eyes – Anna was sure that’s what woke her. She’d been sleeping in the chapel and it was gloomy in there most of the time. Here, the light was different. And she was lying on something... soft. She opened her eyes and looked around and realised two things at once. Firstly that she was on a sofa. And secondly that everything was hideous! Pastels and cutesy colours, frills and flounces! Everything was so, so nice. It was just horrible and she hated it.

She was up in a moment, realising that there were other people in the room. “They moved us again!” she declared, shouting loud enough to wake the dead. Something that made her head throb, recalling the headache she’d had since the explosion.

Breakdown

Who: Ben, open to all inside the chapel
Where: The chapel!
When: Noonish

He'd been trying, trying so hard to keep control. The days since the fire had been a steady erosion of what little calm and composure Ben could usually muster; first the forced interaction with the others while building shelters, then the complete absence of the privacy he craved so badly. Without his medicine, Ben knew that it was a matter of time, time that was sapped more quickly by having to help these people he didn't know or trust.

Crying in the Chapel

Who: Esmé
Where: In her mind and in the chapel
When: Sometime after the explosion

crisis management 101

who: jason and people in/around the chapel
when: about 10 minutes after the explosion
where: in the doorway of the chapel

Jason had checked on a couple of things before he'd actually headed for the chapel. He had his stupid list with him, but really, he was more concerned with checking to see if anyone had oh, gotten their ass blown up. So far, it didn't look that way, and he'd of course made sure that the most important people to him were okay. Emma, Katalina...Dave he'd seen outside tending to someone who was hurt.

Headcount

Who: Dave and anyone/ everyone
Where: The Chapel
When: 4am onwards

esmé

Mood: 
Shocked

who: kaori, esmé & aamir---OPEN TO OTHER 2ND FLOOR RESIDENTS
when: 4am!
where: esme's room

When the fire alarm went off, Kaori sat bolt upright in bed, at first thinking an attack was going on, and someone had sounded the alarm. Half stumbling out of bed--she hit the floor when one of the blankets tangled around her ankle, she scrambled up, running for the door. Upon opening it, her eyes went wide.

Won't You be my Neighbor?

Who: Esmé Gutierrez and Aamir Khan
When: afternoon
Where: second floor

By the time Aamir had gotten both the four-wheeler and himself cleaned up, he had missed Dhuhr. And it was Friday, too. He blamed Caél.

Distraction

Mood: 
Lonely

Who: Sarah and Esmé
When: Evening
Where: Front porch

A nap had done little to ease the chaotic mixture of emotions that had settled inside of her stomach since arriving and seeing Dan again. When she woke, she still felt tired, and worn down, and what made it worse was that the sun had set, making her feel like she'd wasted her day.

Public Journal Entry- April 13, 2006

I've been thinking, and it seems like even though I've only been here a week, I feel like I've barely met anyone here. I mean, yeah, there was the meeting, but that was so serious and got so tense. Do we ever do group things for fun? Like a party or something? I know there's a lot of weird things that happen here, but it seems like we're in a lull right now and I think it would be a good thing for everyone to do, to like bond and build some trust between us. We're stuck here for a while, we should at least get to know each other better. What does everyone else think?

Private Journal Entry- April 11, 2006- ANGST!

Mood: 
Scared

What am I doing here? What the FUCK am I doing here? I don't belong here. I came here to prove that I could take care of myself. All I've proven so far is that I'm useless. I couldn't even get myself out from under a stupid ironing board! And all the things people are telling me, people being attacked, things like that, I can't handle that. If someone came after me? First off, if they did it at night, I wouldn't hear them. And even if I did, what am I supposed to do?

Annoyed

Hey, just a quick question to anyone who might know.

Where is the duck tape located? The hail and other nastiness cracked the window in my room. So now I've got to worry about it breaking and getting glass and rain all over my floor. Definitely not safe. Thanks!

To whom it may concern:

I would like to request a second key to my room to be given to Kaori for security purposes. Thank you!

Private Journal Entry to Kaori- April 10, 2006

Hey, Kales suggested that I get an extra key to my room and give it to you in case I need to be woke up in an emergency and don't hear any alarms. Do you mind? I just wanted to make sure you were ok with it before I asked the scientists to give it to you.

The Meeting

Who: Everyone
When: 6:30.
Where: Ballroom.

Lina started the meeting off the same way she had last time - the chairs for everyone had been set up around the room in a circle, and after everyone had arrived, she'd had everyone take a turn at introducing themselves. Then she'd started the talk on what she knew was most important to people. "Security." she said, sighing. "Kales and Dan have been working on a panic button, and Adam has agreed to make up door brackets for barricades. Does anyone else have any ideas they'd like to talk over?" She wagered they did, and she tried not to look at anyone in particular as she said it.

Public Journal Entry- April 9, 2006- 10am

Mood: 
Nervous

Dear diary,

Ok, now I'm scared. Today started off ok, weird dreams aside, I went down to try out the pool, everything seemed great! Then Father Bob comes in and starts warning me about how horrible this place is- that can't be, can it? I mean, I don't want to believe that a priest would lie to me, but I just don't want to believe that stuff like he was talking about actually has happened here! Kidnapping, assault, rape, then Hannah making that comment about winding up dead, it's all too crazy. I don't know if I want to be here anymore.

Dear Diary,

I'm not really sure who's going to be reading this, but I'm supposed to type in it, so here we go.

It's been an interesting first day here. I've made some friends, at least one enemy (who happens to live next door) explored the house some and watched a couple of movies. Not bad. I've heard there is a pool here, but I haven't found it yet. I'd love to get in some swimming.

Guess I'll go to bed, hopefully I'll get more done tomorrow.

Esmé
