Another day, another task at hand. James made his way through many security checks down to the food storage area with many of the other freshmen. It wasn't much more than busy work, but it was important, and everyone had to do their share, or something. Especially when it came to food, which was something they all need to not die, which was something that was of very particular interest to the former preschool teacher.

He wasn't much of a cook, but he figured, how hard could food organization be?

Apparently not so difficult that the slovenly freshman couldn't manage. He cheerfully separated the food into Perishables, Non Perishables, and Funny Shapes. He took his time, but not too much time - and soon had a small but respectable work area filled with humorously sorted food.

If there was any benefit to organizing food, it was that it was done in a small room, and there was little chance of Kammy wondering off somewhere, or tripping over things. Plus even if she couldn't see the food, she knew that one could use their other senses to help them out. She was currently waiting to develop the super sense of hearing and smell that one apparently got when they were blind, but for now she didn't feel any different. Just normal and blind.

At least she had her sense of touch, and because she had organized the food a few times before she was familiar with the forms of the packaging, and could tell which food was preservable and which wasn't (the ones that weren't tended to be more squishy)

The next step was repackaging, which meant shuffling carefully around the small room of other workers and trying not to bump anything with his bad side. Each step was marginally more painful than the last, and as he came upon the area with the industrial-sized saran wrap rolls he noticed a familiar figure.

"Oh, hello there! Kammy, right?" James paused, leaning against the prep table to catch his breath and wincing. The shoe-shaped bruise on his chest had started to really bloom, which is to say, if he took his shirt off he looked like he had some sort of plague.

Which, he mused, was probably not exactly a good thing considering the current epidemic.

"Yup, thats me, Is that you James?" She turned towards his voice, her hands trying to figure out which packet of chips she had. "Uhh..which one is this? I can't tell. Is it the pretzels or thins?"

She turned back to her food, holding up to packets, before placing them down and feeling across the table for a box. That was on the other side of the counter. "Damn, where is my super sensitive senses, I can't find anything."

James raised an eyebrow - then experimentally, waved a hand in front of her face.

Huh.

"You can't see anything, can you?" stated Captain Obvious, ripping off some pieces of packaging. He passed some to her, careful to be sure she felt them so she'd know where they were located. Of course, it was particularly hard to get saran wrap to do anything except cling to itself, so it took him a few awkward moments to properly sort them on the table.

Kammy paused a moment when James asked the obvious, then shook her head. "No, not a thing. I got hit by a grenade, and now everything is dark. And my head hurts a lot." Because having your head hit cement was usually a painful experience.

Gratefully she took the plastic, reaching out to her pile of food she had handy and began to wrap up some of the more perishable items.

"I know I hit my head, but it's weird, because I didn't get hit around my eyes." She placed a hand upon her face, able to feel her eyes. They didn't hurt or feel damage, and yet... "I don't know why I can't see though. It's freaking me out"

He winced automatically. Grenades. He was pretty sure he'd have nightmares about those for the rest of his probably very short life. He was a bit of a delicate flower, really, all about peace and craft beer and indie music. Not apocalypse and war. He was honestly a bit bewildered that he'd survived this long.

James went to fetch his things, moving his work area closer to hers. Then, since she couldn't see him anyway, he peered creepily into her face.

"Huh. Your eyes don't LOOK weird and cloudy. Just like... your pupils are kinda funny." He tilted his head to the side. "Maybe you broke something in your noggin. You should probably be on bedrest," he added unhelpfully.

He took his spot at the table next to her, and began carefully folding items into the saran wrap.

It was a good thing Kammy couldn't see, because if she could see how close James was she might have gone all tumblr feminist on him and talk about privilege and all that. Actually she would have just leaned back to reclaimed some of her personal space.

"They do?" She had no idea what that meant, having no knowledge in medical symptoms. "I guess I did break something." The mention of bed rest sounded amazing. She really wanted to lay down.

"I wish I could, but I gotta keep moving. Gotta try and get all those supplies, and maintain the university." She didn't want to be the weak link and end up being thrown out due to being useless and taking up necessary supplies.

Judging by the feel of the plastic and where the items were, she was able to fold up all her food items at a relatively quick pace. "Okay, all done." For a blind person she was seriously doing well. Though when she moved away she still bumped into the kitchen counter. "Ow."

James looked at her work area, then at his own. Quickly, before she could notice if all went well, he wrapped up any leftover food items and added them all to the tray that went back to storage.

"That wasn't too painful, was it? Oh watch o-" he winced as she ran into the counter. "More to your left," he added helpfully. "Follow the wall, the door's just a few yards away."
