The air is pungent with thankfulness from 50 and disdain from the other 50 creating a 100% tense atmosphere I sigh exhaustion taking over and heritability raging up with.
"Look I'm not ask you to stay I'm also not saying You have to leave. Either way you go I will try to you guys safe. I haven't exactly slept in 2 day or eaten either so I'm tired. Ill put a in in this for now. Lets take a seat so you guys can see me ask your questions at the end so I can get through all this." I start bending to sit down I notice some start do the same. some take for standing but head to the back so those who decide to sit can see. I realize now about 78% are women and children while the majority of the males stand in the back, 78% will decide to stay while the other percentage will leave.
"So Jobs, don't expect pay other than food, a bed and a shower cause no offense this place stinks. Moving forward with jobs I'll assign them by day, then by week and when I see where strength are pair you with such. If you believe you will be successful in an area let me know or Brent. Every one will also have their own rooms granted in you are a family and as rooms are being assigned you want that put into account I'll ask family's the intend to stay stay together here in what we will start calling main Hub. The places that are locked are what will be considered wings, they will be opened by Brent, Locke, and I.
Please note I understand this a lot to take in but so is this world as it is now. For the Concerned parents, School will be back in session ages 5- 10 will help with Organizing, 11- 18 will help with cleaning, and 19 you'll be training working where needed and doing runs. Kids, when school is in session and you are not present I, Myself will ask why you were not present, Organizing prepares your muscles and swiftness, Cleaning prepares mobility and flexibility in joints and understanding your body's limits in a safe way, 19 your an adult. Expected to be treated as such miss a lesson, miss a turn, expect a consequence.
Adults, you will teach. You will teach patience, strength, mobility, and understanding. Patience in Learning, Strength in work and labor, Mobility with time, and Understanding that kids and adults anyone living is trying. Trying themselves and trying to do the same and pull as much if not more than another." I rub my face and breath cracking my neck. "Questions so far?"
1.) Kids have a choice?
2.) What do these Jobs Consist of?
3.) Wings?
4.) Why does that kid not get a choice?
I raise my hand to silence, and look pointedly at the male that spoke. I slowly stand strength finding me in rage. A rage I know well.
"Please understand I will answer all Questions but YOU sir, You're question will be first. This kid will always have a choice she stands by me guarded by a wolf. A wolf that scenes she is not okay but is holding it together and hoping it is a bad dream. If she decides to leave she will leave on her own with 2 wolves of her own." I finish on a whispered spit, the wolfs and dog scenes my displeasure and their backs spike and tails low. I take a breath closing my eyes I sit back down and the girl climbs into my lap and curls into me tucking her head in my neck, I'm ashamed to stay I stiffen and look to Locke and Brent for help. They shrug, so helpful.
Sighing I wrap my arms around her and rub her back as she starts to tear up, I scuff, and tuck her hair behind her ear to whisper " I've got you now"
Looking back to the group," Apologies, Your other questions, 1.) Kids will have a choice to leave or stay, Children by nature can sense if they will be safe or not and be honest as such, now for the parents that no matter the choice want to keep them safe and don't want to chance it, you may ask to leave them. This being the case to the kids, know that if your parent or parents decide to do this, know they this is not them not loving you, they love you a great deal. They have decided to put Trust into a Stanger and not just 1 but multiple strangers to try and keep you safe from the world we now live in.
2.) Jobs will consist of keeping pantry, organizing pantry stocking pantry, cleaning the main hub, keeping watch on plat form, weapons count, member count, Food Prep, Cooking, and Patrol. We can add jobs as we see fit but these will be the main jobs, if someone was or is a comedian or think they can sing then feel free to be signed on as entertainment." This is gets a giggle an chuckle through the room
"3.) Yes Wings, there are in fact 3 other off set hubs, 1 Hub made just for bathing and toileting, 1 for Food storage and Kitchen, and 1 for sleeping and personal quarters. The room we" I gesture to everyone who walked through the door" is considered the Shoulder or what I call Train Station. The fourth question was answered at the beginning of this, but now that everything is set out, everything is ready for minds to be changed or set. Those who want to leave get set on the Platform, those who want to stay, head over to the group the walked into the room they will be referred to as Paladins."
