IC-On the Grill(Rosie/Charlie Moon/Ashley/Lynne/Thomas)

The dead have begun to rise, but they are not the only problem. A small group of survivors at a truck stop in southwestern Nebraska must contend not only with zombies, but with internal division, a nearby group of heavily-armed skinhead survivalists, and even more horrifying dangers. Can they overcome their differences and survive, or will they join the ranks of the living dead?

Thomas keeps himself busy, at least happy no more gunshots had rung out.

Finishing his cigarette Charlie returns to work, moving a bit more stiffly than before.

In the kitchen-
Charlie returned to the kitchen as the waffle maker began to beep. The waffles were now done. Rosie got her tray ready for Charlie to load them.

Charlie plates up the waffles and passes them off to Rosie. Clearing off the ticket he continues his work.

In the kitchen-
Rosie took the tray with the plate of waffles and left the kitchen.

Beth sniffed the air. "Is something burning?" she asked.

The source of the odor was easily traced back to the grill, and Charlie realized that with everything that was going on, he had forgotten to flip the steak. It was supposed to be medium rare, but it was now well done on the underside and hardly cooked at all on top.

Thomas wrinkles his nose in disgust. Waste of a perfectly good steak.

"Damn it. It's fine I'll just use it for the steak salad." Flips the steak and quickly puts a new one on.

In the kitchen-
The waffle maker hadn't beeped again yet, but the second order of waffles was nearly done to judge by the smell.

"I actually like steak well done," said Beth. "If nobody else wants it..."

Thomas looks at Beth, silently judging her.

I bet Ash likes her steak medium rare...

Lynne stares at the damn waffle maker. The sooner the waffles are done, the sooner the sooner the skinheads will be gone!

In the kitchen-
The waffle maker finally beeped, and Charlie put the waffles on a plate, which he placed on the tray with the rest of the order that Ashley had to take out to other customers. The previous serving of waffles had been intended to be part of that order, but Rosie had taken it out to the skinheads instead.

Rosie returned to the kitchen, lowering her voice. "I gave the waffles to Flip," she said. "He was happy to have them, but Horst keeps looking at his watch, and before I reached his table he said it shouldn't be long, maybe five minutes or a little more. That was a couple of minutes ago. I don't think he was talking about the waffles, either. He's waiting for something to happen, and it's less than five minutes away now."

"That doesn't sound good," Thomas notes. "Do you think he's, like, dangerous or something?'

In the kitchen-
"Honey, I ain't never seen a more dangerous man," said Rosie with a shudder.

"Oh." Says Thomas. He shuffles back and forth awkwardly.

"Should we... do something? I mean, I don't know what we can do, but if he's planning something and you think he's dangerous..." He trails off and looks at Charlie for support.

In the kitchen-
"I guess we're all going to die, then," said Beth with a shrug.

"I know what we can do," said Charlie. "We can kill that old Nazi." He drove the point of his knife into the cutting board.

"What?!" said Beth, her eyes goggling. "You can't mean to stab him to death in a room full of witnesses!"

"Nah. Just put a little poison in his soup, instead of a lot of salt."

"Don't even joke about that, Charlie," said Rosie. "I wouldn't mourn him, but killing Horst would enrage all those guys who follow him, and they'd take this place apart."

"I'm going out there anyway," said Ashley, taking the tray. "I can go warn Rita and Hammond that trouble's coming." She exited the kitchen.

Thomas agonizes, torn between his desire to protect this place from what he feels is impending disaster and his innate cowardliness.

In the kitchen-
"Some first day on the job this is turning out to be," muttered Beth.

"Say what you will about them," said Rosie, "Hammond and Rita won't put up with any nonsense. They won't let anything happen once they're made aware of the situation."

"I hope you're right Rosie," says Thomas. "That shooting earlier has me a bit nervous."

In the kitchen-
"I hope so too," said Rosie, checking her watch. "Whatever's going to happen, it won't be long now."

"I hope Ashley's going to be okay out there," said Beth.
OOC,Everyone may roll Listen at half skill. The base skill is 25%, which would effectively be 12.5%. This means you'd need to roll 12 or lower in order to succeed.

Thomas nods, absentmindedly chewing on his nail.
