02: Ground Rules (Backdated to the 19th)

[dirtyredneck]

[[ooc: Backdated to shortly after this mess with Newt gets resolved and they're back inside the Gates.]

All ya'll talking shit about how we all gotta work together 'cause we're stuck here together best listen the hell up. You want to work together? FINE. First you gotta to is tell the rest of us what hell you can do. No more fucking surprises like some seven foot leopard man!

The only way to pool our goddamn resources are if we know what the fuck they are! And if you can do shit like that, then it's a goddamn resource!

I don't care where the hell you picked to hole your asses up, but if you're gonna talk to me and everyone else about how we should kum-by-fucking-ya, then you best be offering up your skills so we can take full advantage of them.

And don't make runs outside the walls alone no more without telling someone where the hell you're gonna be so we know to keep an eye on you! Hell, I don't even go hunting without telling Glenn I'll be out! You got people to rely on so rely on them!

Fucking hell, people!

[Daryl's angry because he cares. And he hates that he cares.]

[[ooc: open to action if anyone wants to be near him while he's making this rant]]

I've heard asking nicely works better, that's all.

[ Heard, though Gamora's a hypocrite there. Asking nicely never, ever works for her. ]

But if we've covered that part, I do have different news for you. Quill and I spoke about your little group.

[dirtyredneck]

[He's had mixed reviews himself and at this point he's going to drop that part of the conversation entirely. Unless she chooses to bring it back up and poke him about it. He would't be surprised, there were some stubborn women in his life that would do the same if they thought it important enough.]

Yeah? And what's the consensus?

[stabbyterms]

[ Only Gamora won't be happy if she has to go over something more than once. She shouldn't have to repeat herself. ]

We've agreed that allying with your group is one of the better options, at least until we can get back up and off of this planet.

[dirtyredneck]

That mean you gonna come stay with us? Or you gonna keep to your own for now?

[No actual judgement in the words or his tone. He needed to know for logistics.]

[stabbyterms]

Of course. Like you said, this is about watching one another's backs. It wouldn't be easy to do that from the another side of the city.

[dirtyredneck]

Got some rules you gotta agree to, then. How things are done around here.

[He paused only to take a breath.]

Everyone but the girl gets a shift on watch. Girl'll get one eventually.

[Once he was satisfied she was capable of handling herself.]

Everyone takes turns doing the housework. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, that sort of thing. If it's your turn, you gotta do it. Don't get to leave it to anyone else. Everyone gets at least one day on that rotation. So it's not like you're doing it daily.

[But it kept people from assuming someone else would be taking care of it all the time.]

[stabbyterms]

[ She should probably run this past Peter a second time, but the thought of him being stuck doing everyone's laundry at some point in time is simply too amusing to pass up. ]

Reasonable enough rules. [ Can either of them even cook? Looks like the world is about to find out. ] What about the living arrangements? I'm going to assume you picked somewhere easy to defend.

[dirtyredneck]

[No arguments. Good.]

Yeah. Peter's already on his way over to the gates. Caught some rabbits was gonna give him. You come with him and I'll take you both there.

[stabbyterms]

Rabbits? [ Unknown animal detected. ] Fine. We aren't together at the moment, but I'll be there. Just expect me from another direction.

[dirtyredneck]

I'll be here for a while.

[He needed time to calm down, still, anyway.]
