Oh! Some one was taking initiative! Leiah quickly walked away from jeff, her head ache slowly going away. She would need to rest a bit before they go out but she would like to help in anyway that she can! Walking up to Lease and Megan, she hummed before looking for a pen and a piece of paper. When she found one, she scribbled something down.

Id be willing to help out looking for supplies for the infirmary! I need to take a short nape first though...Didn't sleep so well last night...

Ritsa followed quietly. Glancing back towards the bar questioningly though she still listened to Karou as she spoke. "That would make sense then, living close does make this an ideal location. Usually the emergency shelters are in the hospitals or schools. I can understand those feelings. I work at Shoppers, or at least I used to. I'm the pharmacist, not that most people can tell with all the dirt and grime."

She pulled a sour face at the thought of her store having been completely looted but it wasn't like she hadn't managed to stash some cash away. Perhaps she should go and see if there was anything she could bargain for at the junkyard. Her eyes lit up a little at the site the girl was showing her. "Well have to admit, I think I stole a shelf from here at one point to add to the barricade of the front doors not far from here." She gave a sheepish laugh and shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't think anyone was actually using this as 'their space' "

An apologetic grin, "if you don't mind me staying here I would appreciate the space." Giving another look in the direction of the bar Ritsa shifted uneasily. "Well do you want to see if we can hit up the ikea? Or do you want to head back to the bar and make sure everyone is ok? Or maybe see if I can get a few people to dare the Pharmacy with me. I know where a few secret items are hidden for emergencies like this. I just wont survive alone."

Megan glanced over at Leiah's note and nodded. "If you need rest, it might be best to--"

Someone was on the radio again.

"Sorry, gonna listen in. People are talking." She held the remaining earphone in and got a little more comfortable in her seat, brow furrowing as she tried to catch the words. She reached for the radio a couple times, but each time hesitated and seemed to think better of it.

July still couldn't walk very quickly, his leg from earlier still ached fairly badly and god when had his throat gotten this dry? He'd noticed it earlier before the explosions had gone off, and the passage of time wasn't making it any better. Finding a pen, he quickly scribbled down on a flyer to see if he could talk some one into trading. With setting up base back at the glitter boutique he'd done a terrible job at taking care of himself, and it was beginning to catch up with him.

While cash didn't necessarily mean that much in a post apocalyptic world it was what he had on him, so he added it to the list of things to offer. The wires he'd found earlier didn't really seem that useful, but if some one else found better use of it then why the hell not? Wincing as he gingerly made his way over to the flyer board, he retrieved a push pin and moved it into place pinning the paper down carefully.

Once that was done, he took a step back squinting at his own handwriting before considering what to do next. He had a makeshift crutch, it was the only real easy way he could get around presently.

Veronica St. Cloud's eyes rolled instantly at the 'hey beautiful' as a man approached her, and her skin chilled at the term 'sweet threads' and 'for reeeal.' It was disgustingly crude for her tastes, and she was just about to tell him off when she actually took a look at the man. She was surprised, then, to find that he wasn't hideous. Compared to the lot she's been stuck with in this disgusting apocalypse, perhaps there was some potential here.

But then he jumped straight to the suggestion of getting her naked.

"If I weren't saving my energy in the event I need to run from these hideous creatures, I would slap you so hard for the way that you just spoke to me that no amount of Kiehl's would fix your skin damage," she said bluntly. "Am I understood, or do I need to dumb myself down so I can speak more at your level?"

Jeff nodded, offering Gretel a bag of chips and some juice. "Thanks, kid. Take care, you look like you a damned ghost."

Turning to Rich, he nodded in the affirmative. "Then you do whatcha gotta do. Track down those holes and barricade them back up."

He stifled a pitying look at Leiah, and instead just clapped her on the back. "Okay, kid. You help everyone the best you can. I'm trusting you."

Next was Sereva, who also got a nod in the affirmative. "Take a group and find out if anything's left on those shelves."

Suddenly accosted by a thin gal, Jeff turned to her and listened carefully. "Hey now, calm down-- I heard the rumors. We've got a few radios floating around. We're working hard to keep our heads down, but if you've got any ideas about this group-- or hear anything else interesting-- you keep me posted, yeah?"

He grinned, easier than he felt. "Now, it's nice to meetcha. I'm Jeff the bartender. We had a breach but we're working on it so that doesn't happen again."

[ENTER]

Calab returned to the bar rather worn out. He remembered setting up a safe enough place to sleep, he even kipped a few hours sleep afterwords. And putting together a mask, now dangling off a belt loop along with a costume skunk tail his rank netted him. He'd lost time again after that... apparently a lot of time... like finding himself near the area marked as zone one amount of time. He'd ended up in a mess there and was now nursing a swollen black eye, and not remembering how it had came about. Things had quieted down after that and he'd returned to the Mall.

Calab sat down at the bar, in the nearest free spot with a sigh. How much time had he lost? It didn't matter, all that mattered was whatever personality that had been in control they had kept themselves -him- alive. He wasn't hungry, he wasn't thirsty, that made him wonder- Calab shook his head. Best not to worry.

He wasn't sure what to do right now or even how the Mall was fairing. He decided to sit and listen in on the conversations at the bar for the time being.
