OCTOBER THUNDERSTORM

Thunderstorm
A thunderstorm is rolling into the area. The residents of the Quad prepare to weather out the storm, as zombie activity becomes erratic from the thunderclaps and lightning.

Friday Oct. 19: the community is asked to come and help the Container Fort prepare for the inclement weather.

Saturday Oct. 20: Blythe Ferry, Courtney Slaughter and Natalie Stokes are trapped overnight at Lundegaard during the storm.
Whitney Field
Muddy fields and high speed winds keep everyone inside.
Container Fort.
Close quarters as everyone shelters in their shipping containers.
Prescott Fire Station.
Round up the horses and draw those big garage shutters.
Lundegaard Lumber.
Get all the animals inside and hope the crops aren't too damaged.

CHARACTER STATUS: Court

Even with Niko's cool fanny pack of otc nausea meds, Court still ends up getting motion sickness from Arlo's lead foot driving. As such she spends the first ten or so minutes at the Container Fort off to the side, half bent over with her elbows on her knees taking deep breaths and telling anyone who asks that she's fine and just needs a minute.

Once she's no longer liable to become a vomit machine, she is willing to help with anything and everything around the fort. Especially if she got to do dumb shit like climb on the shipping containers like a jungle gym. At some point in the middle of helping she happens to catch John's eye and gives him a wink that is no way even discrete - she rolled a [5] - because she's a hypocrite.

When the rest of Prescott goes back, she sets up a ride with Nat & Blythe to be dropped off as 1) she wants to stay behind and catch up with Duke, and 2) doesn't feel like dealing with Arlo's driving twice in one day honestly. As her companions have some equipment to deliver to Lundegaard, the trio go there first and it soon becomes apparent they won't be leaving. Cue Court helping with any last minute preparations around Lundegaard (let her get on your roof, bro!!!!) and eventually joining her travel partners in staying at the bed & breakfast overnight. She'd considered showing up at John's door unannounced, but figured that wouldn't be very cash money of her.
