ooc: Getting better Bullet Magnet, I'll just say that this Rupture Farms has one big dorm room where all the employees (sligs and mudokons) sleep. (The boss has a separate dorm).
Also, our boss is the kind of guy who you can walk up to and ask for a job and he'll say yes. Not that wash knows that
A train pulled into the station and Anni stood up expectantly. A grouchy slig stepped out, saw ehr and looked around as if he hadn't. Deciding eventually that she was the only one there, he finally accepted her presence and spoke to her. "You guys order some plant seeds?"
Anni nodded and grinned. "Yep. We're becoming self sufficent for spices!"
"Sure, whatever." He grabbed a small cardboard box and tossed it at her. She caught it clumsily. "Right, the money will be taken from the upture Farms account." He pulled out a clipboard and glanced at her again. "You sure there's no one else around? No sligs?"
"Nope. Arnie gave me the job to collect the stuff." SHe grinned at him in a friendly way.
"Fine, forget it." He tossed the clipboard back into the train, stepped inside and it pulled away. Anni took the box and ran down towards the stockyards entrance.

Jim shrugged. "I doubt it. It was about this time that they let us stop for the day, yesterday. If we head up towards the R+R room I bet the boss will announce the end of the work shift before we get there." He was relieved Bonty had given up on his idea for escape and hoped he wouldn't press it in the morning. He didn't know what he'd do if he did.

Dionysia sat on the side of the bed in silence for a few minutes after Gappiqu had left. Eventually she stood up and stepped out. She jerked to a halt when she suddenly heard an ear-splitting noise from nearby. Clapping her hands over her ears she headed in its direction until she saw Gappiqu down a corridor. He had is gun out and was pointing it down the corridor in her direction. "WHAT THE ODD IS GOING ON?" At that point she spotted a figure stumbling about through the open door of the security office. She gestured to the door with her elbow and looked, puzzled, towards Gappiqu.
ooc: Bullet Magnet, if you want to get involved with other characters, take the first step and walk to where others are posting. Just try and avoid butting into a situation if the people involved are interacting closely between each other. I'll have to put some of this in the Info and Advice thread.
