The Purge

Day 1
(Basic Settling in stuff.)

Day 2
(Event Roll: 16 - Encounter Role: 7 - Current BDR: 4)
Kaleigh wakes to the sound of drones passing by early this morning. She wonders if she should wake the others, but all is quiet and the drones pass by none the wiser.
Later the Corporal and Leroy take a trip to the abandoned park. The plants here are only just sprouting, but next trip maybe the lovely blackberries will be ready. Kerri spends most of the time jogging and surveying the area while Leroy manages to catch two fish. He deems one of them healthy enough to take home, Of course they still haven't got a stove to cook them on.
Back at The Squat a group of MZBs(Mutant Zombie Bikers, it's a thing) have formed a local gang and come by demanding rent of all things. How they knew about the underground lab Maximus will never know, but they've been caught with their pants down so to speak and he decides to give them what they ask rather than get his people hurt or worse. They want half of the food, but Maximus talks them into a third and they loose a mushroom and a fish from Leroy's makeshift food storage.

Day 3
Some more plants have come up in the area and Leroy has added to the garden. Late at night Leroy, Maximus and Randy take a trip to Granite Falls.

Day 4
(Event Roll: 34- Encounter Roll: 48)
Back at base, Maximus has left Cpl. Kerri Flex in charge. She's taking the job pretty seriously even if most of her charges are useless at anything besides being cannon fodder. Things are going well and Kerri is outside doing push-ups, when a fellow name Nick wanders by. he says he has a generator and a couple of lamps to trade, if they can offer something good enough. Kerri also notices he's brought muscle, two behemoths to be exact. Kerri is sure tempted by the generator, but doesn't think they have anything around to spare just now. She doubts the aforementioned cannon fodder would survive taking on the brutes, so she passes on the opportunity. Tells Nick to have a nice day, and come back again if he has anything else to trade.
Meanwhile, in Granite Falls, Maximus is so hungry he's delirious. Or at least that would explain why their fearless leader won't stop cooking imaginary food on the old broken down grill they found. Also at the abandoned campsite is a horseshoe court, and Leroy decides a distraction might be best while Maximus gets his head on straight. After convincing everyone to play a game he catches a nap. He saw a good fishing spot and some basil around. Maybe after his nap...
Randy meanwhile is worried about the groups health, They've been struck by a few minor illnesses and he fears something more severe may come along. With this in mind he goes in search of herbs and manages to identify a few. He accidentally ruined the only chamomile he found(I accidentally had him eat it), but he also found some Elderberries, noxious and otherwise.
On the way home, the group spots an abandoned bucket with two fish inside. Leroy dubs them healthy enough, and the group takes them along. They decide not to think too much about what happened to the previous owners.
(I didn't stay too long, because everyone was hungry and I was tired of fighting with Maximus, or I would have traveled to a new area and got some more herbs.)

Day 5
(Event Roll: 75 - Realized afterwards I wasn't supposed to roll today. Oops.)
Today for the first time, Leroy's harvests and foraging turn up enough for four servings of food. Nearly everyone eats tonight. A truly good day in fact, as Dr. Giles comes across an old bottle of medicine while rummaging for a new slide. It's less potent of course, but it will do the trick.

Day 6
(Event Roll: 63 no Model - Reroll: 71 same roll as yesterday - Reroll:81)
Jolene wakes early to what she swears is the sound of a cat yowling. With her dear Ephraim gone she doesn't much care for human company anymore --especially this lot-- but she does still like cats. What if the little angel is hurt!?
Worried she goes to check and stamps her foot in irritation when she instead finds a squalling little red faced brat! Jolene won't stand for another mouth to feed when they have so little and she has to do all the cooking. Besides she knows she'll be the one who has to care for it and change it's dang diapers.
With one last furtive look she scoops the runt up and dashes down the street. If she hurries those bleeding hearts she lives with will never even know and the unwanted chore will fall on someone else. Like the neighbour down the street who keeps luring drones in with their irresponsible traipsing about and setting off of explosives...
(I decided a baby would take too long to be useful and be too much trouble in the mean time. I'm not up to it without better BDR or a Chef.)

Day 7
Although everyone finally got to eat today, they are all in varying degrees of bad mood. Seeing this Maximus takes over foraging for Leroy who is in the worst shape, but thankfully has already finished the garden for the day. Most likely he will have to cancel the planned fishing trip for today as well.
(I have been trying to play them without too much control when they aren't "working" and it is starting to backfire. I had to take back control today, and while I'm at it, I will work on pushing a few relationships. They're rubbish at developing them on their own...)

Day 8
(I am actually in the middle of day 8 right now, so not much to report. I will say, the truly bad roll finally struck. I lost everything in my fridge to a 22. Luckily this was before any harvesting or foraging started for the day. Will post about that next time I update.)
