"This seat taken, Charlotte?" Sarah's voice rang which made Lottie jump slightly. She turned to see Sarah and smiled up at her, noticing the cups of hot chocolate in her hands. "No...no it's not taken" Lottie replied, "what I meant was...yes you can sit" she laughed nervously. Sarah placed the mug on the table beside my plate and sat herself down. Damen soon came over and sat himself down across from Charlotte. She glanced up and then proceeded to eat her meal. "Enjoying your meal Char?" - Lottie simply replied with a groan of approval. She looked up and viewed the clothing on the table. She noticed a dent in the metal plate and reached out to feel the cold metal. "Was that from today?" Damen was about to reply before he was cut off by the coffee machine.
After watching Damen walk off to the dinning room, Alex followed him but walks past him and towards the doors that lead to the outside world. Upon opening the doors, he stared up at the sun which shone brightly over the Yacht club building despite all of the snow around the area. Alex stepped outside with his hands in his pockets until he found a spot were the sun glared down at him but the cool winter breeze was able to grace his skin. The removed his hands from his pockets with a packet of cigarettes and a lighter. He popped of the box open with his thumb and picked a cigarette by random and placed it in his mouth. He then brought the lighter to the end of the cig and attempted to light it but after close inspection, it was out of fuel. This caused Alex to let out a deep groan of displeasure and lean against the brick wall with the cig hanging loosely iin his mouth.

"I saw you sitting kind of forlorn, Charlotte," Sarah said as she sat down and slid a cup of hot chocolate towards the young girl, "and thought I'd sit down, try to cheer you a little bit." It wasn't boastful hyperbole on Sarah's part; even when things at Belle Isle were at their lowest, Sarah never lost her sense of duty, well-being and concern for others....what some over the years might've put off as her putting on airs or something, Sarah considered it something akin to the old doctrine of noblisse' oblige; as her parents once put it, "With great wealth comes great responsibility."
Hearing Damen's words about Hannah brought a smile to Sarah's face; nodding as she gripped her hot chocolate, taking sips here and there as the seam rose from the cup, she said quietly, "I just wonder why Dana....why she did what she did? You know, I mean....what drives a person to do that, you know?" she asked with honest sincerity; she'd seen her bit of violence over the past four years but the violence had almost always been outside, off of the Island....now, in the space of months, violence had touched Belle Isle itself, and it made Sarah wonder what else was going to happen.

First answering Charlotte's question since she had wondered about the dent in the steel plate. "Yes Charlotte, that happened today. The one woman shot me in the chest. Thankfully, I always wear this vest." Reaching for the pocket of the Vest, he unzipped the front pocket and pulled out the 9mm bullet and placed it on the dent of the plate. " Turning his head, he listened to what Sarah had asked about the woman. Pointing the dots, he now knew who was the shooter. Shaking his head a bit, he sipped his cup of coffee and placed a hand on Sarah's shoulder and gently rubbed it.
"Sadly Sarah, some people just want to watch the world Burn. I'm guessing Hannah would have the answer for that question as to why Dana had done such a thing. Maybe out of hate? Maybe out of some sort of Jealousy? Or maybe she just wanted to kill someone. Hannah was the first one shot, right? So I'd say you would have to ask her yourself." Rubbing the spot a bit more, he withdrew his hand and drank more of his coffee.

Lottie looked up and picked up the bullet, rolling it in her palm. "I saw you sitting kind of forlorn, Charlotte," Sarah said as she sat down and slid a cup of hot chocolate towards the young girl, "and thought I'd sit down, try to cheer you a little bit." - Lottie lightly scoffed and looked up at Sarah. "Thanks...but I don't think that's necessary ," she took a deep breath, "I'm sorry about what happened and all...i know how tight this community is...and for this to happen...its devastating." Lottie picked up the mug and sipped the liquid slowly, carefully making sure it wasn't too hot. "Besides, you guys need cheering up more than i do...i can handle myself."

"Yeah," Sarah said, smiling wanly as Commander Smull gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder and mentioned that she should ask Hannah about why Dana flipped out like she did; at hearing that, Sarah said, "Oh, I know why Dana flipped out like she did; she was a vic addict." Pausing to let it sink in, she continued. "When we rescued her out at the bridge, we didn't know it at the time, but Dana was nursing a vicodin addiction; Dr. MacMillan mentioned it to me earlier today...that's why it took so long for her to recover from her hypothermia yesterday; her body was having to fight both the cold and an opiate addiction.
"Doc found out she was a vic addict and Dana nearly flipped out yesterday, wanting to kill herself," pausing to finish her cup of chocolate. "When he heard that, he told her in no uncertain terms that if she wanted to kill herself, she was going to do it sober; she wasn't going to harm herself or others while doped up. Of course, had anyone known what was going to happen.....," sighing as her voice trailed off.
Getting up from her chair, Sarah set the empty cup down for one of the kitchen staff to take care of, then walked back over to where Charlotte and Damen were sitting at. "I was going to go outside for a little bit, but...," Sarah said, visibly and sounding sadder than she had in quite some time, "....if anyone needs me, I'm going to be in the infirmary with Hannah."

"...if anyone needs me, I'm going to be in the infirmary with Hannah" - Charlotte nodded and gave a salute gesture. She ate the last bit of her breakfast before putting both the empty cup and plate on the side where the kitchen staff could take it. "You know what? It is still a lovely day...despite the incident that happened...so I'm going to take my business outside...probably with a carrot, buttons, twigs and a scarf." Lottie huffed and daydream of what fun she could hustle up outside with the snow.

Outside the yacht club building...."Oh no you don't!" Kate yelled out at Chris and a few others as the group played a fast'n'furious snowball fight, trying to take their minds off of everything that'd happened earlier that day; it might seem cold to have a little bit of fun in such proximity to what had happened inside, but Kate knew it was also the best way to take your mind off of such events....at least that's what Kasie says, Kate mused, ducking as a salvo of snowballs came flying past her.
"Is that all you got, ladies?" Kate said with Motor City fervor, ducking behind a small tree and winding up to throw a humdinger of a snowball back at Kasie.....just as she let fly with what ended up being a wayward shot, she caught sight of Charlotte stepping outside the main entrance and yelled, "Hey Charlotte! Come on over, the snow's fine!" waving to her and hoping to get her attention.

Charlotte stepped out of the building, prepared for the cold. She had an oversized jacket on - which she found lying around in one of the rooms - and gloves which had small holes in...which didn't really help with the cold. She looked up to see a woman yelling for her to come over. Charlotte was hesitant and wondered if it was the best idea since she just wanted to find serenity alone. England never snowed as hard as it did in America, so snowball fighting wasn't an event on the agenda. Lottie never really had a snowball fight...but maybe it is a time for new experiences. Charlotte jogged over Kate and smiled. "Who are we aiming for?" She said, preparing a ball of ice in the palm of her hands.

"Anyone of us out here," Kate replied, hearing Charlotte's question as the girl walked over to where Kate and a couple other Belle Isle residents were...Kate took a few moments to introduce everyone - Kasie, Hannah and Natasha - and explained the rules of their little snowball fight...."namely, that's there one rule: don't hit anyone above the shoulders, so nothing to the neck or head, Charlotte....otherwise anywhere else," pausing to ball up a nice bit of snow, "is fair game!" before turning to launch a shot right square in Kasie's broad back. "Gotcha, Kasie!" Kate yelled, quickly rolling up a second snowball as she kept her eyes on a swivel, ready to throw the snowball at a moment's notice....
Post by Charlotte Hartfield on Mar 24, 2017 18:44:14 GMT -5
Charlotte giggled and threw a snowball at Kasie, hitting her on the back of her leg. Lottie ducked behind a tree and made sure none of her limbs were hanging out. She could hear balls of ice being smashed against the tree on the opposite side she was standing on. "Hey! Pick on someone you're own size!" She loudly chuckled, preparing another snowball between her hands.

Damen watched as everyone left the dinning hall. Nodding his head at both of them as he sat there and drank his coffee. He looked at his vest as the room was now dead quiet. Shaking his head, he finished his Coffee and left it there. Putting the steel plates back into the vest, he put on the vest again. Undoing the sleeves, he unrolled them so that he was now wearing the long sleeves down. Taking his pack of cigarettes out and his zippo, he walked out and went outside of the building. Taking out of the cigarette and lighting it, he let out a stream of smoke as his eyes watched the ladies playing the snowball fight. Smiling as he leaned against the building and away the door so that people could go in and out of the yacht club. When Katie and Charlotte aimed at the one medic, the naval Commander began to laugh at the sight as they were throwing a fury of snowballs at each other. Shaking his head, he had an idea.
Leaning down, he took to handfuls of snow and began to pack it into a ball of snow. Watching them, he lined his sights on Katie who was the most dangerous of the group with the snow balls. Taking careful aim, he heaved it as hard as he could to try and make up the difference of the distance between him and her. The snowball soared through the air and was aimed right for her side. If it hit or not, he would lean against the building and pretend he didn't throw it as he smoked his cigarette watching them having they're snowball fight. Speaking up, he would say out loud. "You got this Charlotte! Keep up the pressure on them!"

Walking back towards Medical, Sarah paused as she walked by the location where Dana and Kara's bodies had lain in the hallway, empty spaces now visible because their bodies had been taken to a cold storage area down in the basement (the ground outside being too hard at the moment for them to provide a proper burial), though Sarah made a silent vow that both of them - even Dana - would get a proper burial. Sarah 's rationale for that was simple: even given Dana's actions earlier, she had been a part of the New York group when they'd traveled through Belle Isle and had helped in protecting the Motor City stronghold.
Rounding the corner into the infirmary, Sarah's thoughts rapidly changed when she saw a visibly shaken and crying Hannah curled up on the hospital bed; rushing over, she sat down and began trying to comfort her lover as best as she could, whispering to her and trying to get her to calm down. "I'm right here, baby, I'm right here," Sarah said, tears of her own beginning to form, "I'm right here for you, okay, I'm right here for you...."

The sounds of someone rushing over to Hannah had broke her of her thoughts. Turning her head a bit, she saw Sarah running up to her and sat down beside her. She was trying to calm the younger blonde down as she whispered lightly to her. "I'm right here, baby, I'm right here," Sarah said, tears of her own beginning to form, "I'm right here for you, okay, I'm right here for you...." Hannah smiled a bit as she looked at her lover who was genuinely worried for her. Reaching over to Sarah, she began to tug at the woman until she moved and was now on the bed with her. Once Sarah was in bed with Hannah, the blonde curled up against Sarah and held her close to her. A couple of sniffs were heard from Hannah as she began to debate about telling Sarah of what she just saw or not. But since she didn't want to hold secrets from her, Hannah decided to tell her.
"While you were gone...I had flashes of my life go past me. When I went out to rescue Dana and was shot up and cut up badly. When I laid in this very room and was technically dead. I saw the nurse straddle my waist as she used the paddles on me and then used the shot to kick start my heart. To when I went out west with everyone else and was devastated at what I heard and saw." Looking up into Sarah's eye, Hannah rested a hand on the side of her face and whispered to her. "When I first saw you...my heart nearly stopped in it's place. Even if you were about to pop when we showed up. That moment I saw you Sarah, I felt something deep down that there was something about you that I couldn't place my thumb on. When I came back Yesterday...I realized what it was...." Leaning up a bit, Hannah kissed Sarah gently, breaking the kiss and whispered still. "I loved you back then and still love you now. I don't think I would be able to move on without you babe."
Laying her head back down at Sarah's chest, Hannah was now listening to Sarah's heart beating. It was soothing to hear as she felt sleep beginning to weigh on her as she fought to stay awake. Sliding her hand across Sarah's stomach, she found her hand and intertwined they're fingers together and held the hands into each other.

Charlotte overheard Damen. "Yes Sir!" She shouted back only for a snowball to hit Lottie on her side. "Hey! That's not fair...he distracted me!" She chuckled back, getting ready to throw some more at those unfortunate to come into her view.
Alex heard people laughing and screaming in delight so he decided to investigate. He trudge over through the snow, cigarette still hanging loosely in his mouth, and what he saw he didn't expect.
'A bloody snowball fight?' He thought which made him. Chuckle and shake his head. He noticed Damen leaning by the wall and decide to join him.

Hearing Hannah's words and declaration of love towards her brought a smile to Sarah; crawling onto the hospital bed with her lover, her hand gripped Hannah's and she squeezed lightly, her fingers intertwining with Hannah's....brushing a few stray hairs from Hannah's head as she lay her head over Sarah's chest and above her heart, Sarah laid her other hand over Hannah's heart and remarked, "You feel that? It sounds like our hearts are beating at the same time, the same speed and tempo...," leaning over to lightly kiss the top of Hannah's head, she added, "Kinda' tells you we were meant to be together, doesn't it?"

"Ha! Gotcha, Charlotte!" Kate yelled as one of her snowballs caught the young girl square in the side...as she moved around to both dodge snowballs headed towards her and to lob snowballs elsewhere, she saw both Commander Smull and Alex standing a little ways off and thought, Should be just far enough to....., hauling back a large snowball and lobbing it right at the two of them. "Ladies, aim for the men, aim for the men!" Kate called out to everyone, lobbing another good-sized snowball in their direction...

Smiling a bit, she slowly nodded her head as felt and heard the beating heart. "As if our hearts were made of the same cloth or the same forge. Beating as one. I could simply fall asleep and lay here like this forever in your arms...an-" Hannah cut herself off as she slowly and eventually fell asleep at the spot. With her head laying on Sarah's chest, her arm holding Sarah close to her as she was now cuddling her long lost soul mate. A yawn escaped Hannah's mouth as she began to fall into a deep sleep and was starting to dream about the future and what it might have in stored for them all. A smile came over her mouth as it was happy dreams, -for once- that flooded her mind.

The cigarette had died and Damen began to laugh at the sight of Charlotte getting lobbed in the side of her by Kate. But the laughing stopped when he heard Kate Declare war on the men. "Uh oh..." He said as snowballs began to fly towards him. Jumping over the railing, he scooped up snow with his bare hands and packed a good tight snowball as he was running now. Lobbing it at one of the female medics, he didn't stop to see if it hit or not as he scooped up more snow and made another snowball. This one was aimed for Charlotte as he threw it at her legs. A snowball hit Damen in the shoulder as he spun at the spot and fell tot he ground sliding a bit. Grabbing more snow, he packed it up nice and tight and threw it at Kate's stomach. But more snowballs kept raining down around him as he started to roll away until he was on his stomach and hurrying to get to his feet.
Making a mad dash, he went to a snow pile that was plowed off of the road and dove over it. Landing in snow, he put his back against the snow bank and began to quickly make as many snowballs as he could. When he was done, he had made a dozen snowballs of different sizes. Picking two up, he stood up and saw his targets. Aiming, he threw both of them like a baseball player as they soared through the air to hit his targets. He didn't let up as he kept throwing everything he had at all of the females that were attacking him. "You will never take me alive!" He declared at them as he ducked back down behind his now Fort of snow. Packing snow again, he saw one of the females rushing around the embankment and he threw it at her chest region.
