Welcome to Gaia! ::

The cafeteria coffee was still crap. Sherry wondered why she even bothered to drink it. She stood there pouring copious amounts of cream and sugar into her coffee cup in an attempt to mask the taste. Maybe she just needed to give in and buy her own coffee maker. Maybe Mark would be willing to do another amazon order. She should check.

The question was, 'did she really like coffee enough to spend money on it?' No. Probably not. She just wanted a caffeine boost.

She sighed. She really should just stop drinking this crap.

Sherry turned at the voice. She didn't recognize it, nor the face that went with it. "I think I am. I wish I had more to put in it, honestly."

She laughed. "We might have one, who knows. We don't keep nice things too long, usually. Even if we did, I think their beans are crap half the time." Sherry really didn't' know much about coffee.

"I'm Sherry." She offered up her name. "Life."

"They might, you never know." It was odd sometimes what got funding around the island.

"Ah," she smiled at him. "Nice to meet you, Clyde."

She took a sip of very creamy coffee, before answering his question. "Mostly odds and ends things right now. Infirmary shifts and extra help in the Labs. I'm taking a break from my field research, so the shifts are in with my written work and own lab time. What about you?"

"Will do." She grinned. "We need a steady supply of decent coffee." Not that she liked coffee...it was all kind of gross in her eyes.

"Makes sense. Volunteer for things that are less popular and get a bit more choice overall." She looked at him, as if trying to figure out his past. "Experience you say? From before? Been here long?"

"True," Sherry agreed with a nod. He had a point.

"Makes sense. Following the work and all." She sipped at her coffee, contemplating his words. "Avoiding chaos is usually for the best if it can be done. Sometimes it's a bit hard though." She sighed a little, tired.

"Me? Oh I," she had to think for a moment. It had been a long few years since she'd been anything but a hunter. "I was a waitress. Did some schooling for nursing." She laughed. "And now I specialize in digging up old stuff, with some healing on the side."

She looked at Clyde. "What made you join, if I may ask?"
