Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
On the roof-
Emily, Lauren, and Ho Nguyen all kept a careful watch as the twilight slowly deepened. There was absolutely no movement as far as they could see in any direction, which was about a mile, though with the spreading darkness it would soon become impossible to see that far. The moon was already up, and a few stars were starting to appear in the eastern sky.
In the store-
"You mean aside from the fact that you're a male chauvinist pig who treats women like dirt?" Helen said to Victor as Richard helped them move the shelf. "Other than that, I haven't got anything against you at all."
"Okay, I'll give it a try," said Kyle. He easily began shifting one of the shelves, his thick muscles bulging. While he was doing so, Marcus emerged from the back with the sledgehammer and walked outside. "Hey, Marcus! You need my help up on the roof, or should I keep moving the shelf?"
Cynthia and Kathryn finished painting the glass windows and doors black, except for the areas covered by the index cards. "That's that," said Cynthia, putting her brush down and grinning at Kathryn. "We make a pretty good team, huh?" Just as they finished, the others slid the first row of shelves into place against the northwest section of the front window. It would take another three to fully block it.
Outside the store-
Marcus emerged from the front door and reached the base of the ladder.

"Yeah, Cynthia, we do! Let´s haul another of them shelves in place too." Kat moves to begin shifting a shelf. (45 in combined str x 3! Against what score?)

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Victor smiled at Helen and said, "Well do you want to help me move another shelf to the window?" He walked over to one of shelves that held personal care products and said to Richard, "Hey Richard help me out ok?" As he waited for Richard he began to dump the stuff off the shelves and onto the floor in a neat pile.

In the store-
"Not particularly, no," said Helen to Victor. She made her way over to Kathryn and Cynthia. "All right, ladies, let's get to work!"
"Sure!" said Cynthia.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Victor snarled at Helen, "You better remember that your life depends on me the man defending you. At this point I have half a mind to let a creature eat you."
He looked at Richard and said, "Lets go buddy." He got near one end of the shelves and saw Richard at the other end. They counted to 3 and just managed to lift it. They began to walk it toward where it was needed.

The shelf moved effortlessly as the women lugged it towards the windows.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Marcus called back to Kyle with a smile, "When you're done playin' around with those shelves, come on up and give me a break."
He headed up the ladder towards the roof, holding the sledge in one hand, and using the other hand for grabbing onto the rungs.

On the roof-
Marcus climbed up onto the roof, where his boss and the Montrose women were keeping watch.
In the store-
Kyle moved his shelf closer to the front. Behind him the other men started moving theirs, and the three women made equal progress on their own shelf.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Emily moved to her daughter and put her arm around her and hugged her tightly as she looked out on the horizon. So much has changed in the last 10 hours. The enormity of the day nearly brought Emily to her knees. In silence, she stood there holding Lauren and silently wept for her husband.

Marcus walked over to where he wanted to punch the whole through the roof and went to work. He resisted the urge to sing a chain-gang song in the process. Strength x5 (85%) (1d100=54)

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
On the roof-
Marcus swung the sledgehammer mightily, creating a hole in the roof above where he knew the storeroom to be. After several swings with his muscular arms, he managed to create a hole big enough even for him or Kyle to comfortably pass through. The storeroom was visible below, fragments of concrete and plaster dust littering the floor beneath the new hole.
Emily stood hugging her daughter Lauren as they watched the twilight deepen. It was getting harder to see, and night was setting in. But would they survive to see the sunrise?
Ho Nguyen also stood watching silently, his rifle at the ready.
In the store-
Kyle Perkins finished sliding his set of shelves into place along the southern end of the front windows. Having finished, he stepped out through the still unblocked front doors since the others had the remaining shelves well in hand. They had almost reached the front.
Outside the store-
Kyle emerged from the store and walked over to the base of the ladder. "We're just about done blocking the windows!" he called up as he prepared to climb.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Marcus called down to Kyle, "Why don't you take that ladder down and move it to the storeroom. We should be able to barricade the doors now too."
He looked to Ho and said, "With everyone walkin' along this roof, it may leak this spring after the snow melts. We might need to put another coat of tar on it just to patch up the seams."

"If Kyle want to come up, he should, then we can pull the ladder up behind him and put id down into the hole you created" Emily said as she said after scanning the area for signs of trouble.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Marcus nodded, "Yeah, that's a good idea. Come on up, Kyle."
Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
Oustide the store-
"Okey dokey," said Kyle. He climbed up the ladder to the roof.
On the roof-
Kyle climbed onto the roof and waved sheepishly. "H-hi, Lauren," he said. Then he noticed the hole. "Hey, Marcus! That must have been fun, smashing that hole in the roof. Want me to bring the ladder over now?"
The roof was very sturdy, as it had been built to withstand the tornadoes that plagued the flat plains of Nebraska. It could support the ten people here with ease. The only part of the roof that looked like it would leak in the near term was the hole and the area immediately around it, but the rest of the roof would be good for a while. Luckily it wasn't raining now, though that could always change.
In the store-
The two groups, one of men and one of women, pushed their shelves into place against the front windows at the same time. They were now completely barricaded. The paint on the windows was still wet, but it would dry in time. The index cards could be lifted by anyone wishing to look outside, but it would be necessary to climb up the shelves to reach them. The front doors were now blocked off, so the only ways out were the back door or the newly created hole in the roof above the storeroom, both of which were accessible from the short hall through the door at the rear of the store.

Victor sighed and wiped some sweat off his forehead. He then walked over to the fridge and opened it a bit to get cool.

Re: IC-JUNO-Trouble In Store(Everyone)
As he stood at the fridge Victor reached in and grabbed two beers which he then conceled in his coat. He walked up to Rich and whispered, "Buddy I snagged a beer for you. Here you go!"
