As of this evening Fernando and Jeanette will have been in this apocalyptic world for a full week. Before anyone celebrates this milestone, there's a lot that has to be done between now and then.
 
When the morning hour approached, the time breakfast is to be started, Mavis steps into Hondo's camper and sees that everyone is still asleep. Thinking it would be a good idea to have breakfast ready when everyone awakes, quietly she starts breakfast. Mavis starts by making a pot of coffee, hoping that the smell of coffee alone will wake people up.
 
Next is the giant monster egg. Mavis cracks open an egg and empties it in a large mixing bowl to make omelets and scrabbled eggs, whatever the people want. Egg is also used in making biscuits so she mixes up a batch of biscuits. As part of a healthy breakfast, Mavis makes oatmeal.
 
One thing the Jewish girl could not find is the kosher bacon. She reasons in her mind that she is looking in the wrong places.

Note: good guess. Honda would not keep kosher back on, sausage, etc in his camper as he isn't kosher and likes real bacon/ sausage.  Will post Hondo getting up this evening. He is asleep in the recliner so any movement in the main area would wake him. He's not a morning person.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Personal Note 1: just had a slight accident here so I may have to check into the hospital. It's a small cut - nothing major, but because the bloodthinners are not at a stated of out of control, if it does not stop bleeding in a couple of hours from now, I need to get it taken cared off. Otherwise, I'm OK. It is just a small injury that hasn't stopped bleeding, and by bleeding, it is slowly oozing, not gushing out. It is similar to when I got home from the hospital in '13 and I cut myself shaving and it would not stop bleeding for the next 4 hours.
 
Personal Note 2: I'm doing a 3D view of Hondo's camper and am 90% done with it. It has 2 floors, main floor has everything and the "second floor," which is about 4ft tall and is the area above the truck's cab which is the bedroom for Hondo and Val. I did not put up the roof and though the layout has 2 water heaters, one is actually an indoor water tank and the other is the actual hot water heater, both holds over 30 gallons and are tied to the outdoor tanks. This is why Hondo has water when everyone else had their outdoor water tanks froze over. What I also left out is the heating system inside his camper. Note that the space inside is tight but workable with 6 or more people in it. (Ruth's camper is similar as it also has indoor and outdoor water tanks and they had water as well when everyone's outdoor tanks froze.)
 
Hondo's Kitchen and dining area, by this design is towards the rear of the camper. I'll post up a link of it when it is done. The dining table and chairs are foldable for storage and the recliner can be moved about as needed.
 
This does not include the Storage trailer that his camper hauls about, which would have its own generator and refrigerator, where I am guessing most of the Hondp's food and other things, including the kosher meats, would be in. It would also have extra tanks of fuel and other things as per his needs.
 
I'll do a post later depending on what you two put in.

Not too long after Mavis came in Hondo woke up. He sat up fast and grabbed the gun in his lap. He shook his head to clear it and recognized Mavis working on breakfast. He put the gun down, she didn't seem to see it nor did he consider her a current threat. He stood up and made his way to the coffee pot.
 
Mavis: Oh! You're up. I figured I'd start breakfast.
 
Hondo just grunted at her. He filed his cup and grabbed his stuff.
 
Mavis: Do you know where the kosher bacon is?
 
Hondo turned slowly and squinted at her.
 
Hondo half mumbled: Don't believe in it, but since some of you don't hold to the New Testament there probably is some in the trailer. It has a fridge and freezer. Just grab some real bacon for me. Ifin you are too good to cook it Val will when she gets up.  
 
Hondo put some whiskey in the coffee and moved outside. He setup a folding camp chair, dressed in his clothes from the day before and set back drinking his coffee as the sun started to rise.
 
Before too much longer Valentine smelled the food cooking and woke up. She jumps up realizing how late she had slept. She hurriedly dressed and when out to help, leaving the girls to sleep in. When she came out she saw Hondo was getting be. She felt bad as he probably only got 3 hours of sleep or maybe 4 but not more than that. She jumped in, getting the other things ready to setup breakfast.
 
Note: Sorry it's short. Sick and the med has me numb and sleepy. Gotta love whiskey.
 
Note 2: Had to fix a couple of things, mostly typos and grammar, otherwise the post is as it was. ~Fernando.

Sharing the gas Camper Dub Box with Danielle, Ariel awakes as the sun began to peak over the horizon and turns on the hot water for the shower.
 
After the shower, Ariel gets dressed in what looks like a Japanese school uniform and does hair and makeup.

"Even Messianic Jews, who as you put it 'hold to the New Testament,' still follow the written Torah." Contrary to the Rabbinic Jews who follow both the written and oral Torah, Mavis follows only the written Torah.

Personal Note: Lets not get into a argument about part of Judia does what. Lets just play the characters as they are. Hondo had only a few hours of sleep and is cranky. Mavis is making breakfast as a favor to others but disturbed Hondo's rest; and she has specific dietetic needs that needs to be addressed. Lets leave it at that.
 
Note: How does Ariel knows how to set up the dub box shower if, I'm assuming, she never seen it before? I do not remember anyone explaining it to her and the only shower she had used was in Karl's trailer.
 
I'm assuming that with the sun coming out Mavis will be in the camper to minimize her exposure to sunlight.
 


RPG:
 
As the sun slowly rises, Ruth and Joanne walk over to Hondo's trailer with a hand basket of freshly baked biscuits. They see Hondo in his rear trailer looking for the Beef Bacon (aka Kosher bacon) in his trailer's freezer.
 
They walk up to him, "What are you looking for?"
 
"The Kosher Bacon for our friend inside my camper." Hondo says before the smell of freshly baked biscuits hits his nose. "Are those...?"
 
"We made from biscuits. We would have made some corn bread too but we had no corn flour." Ruth says.
 
"Good to see you girls are able to cook some good food." Hondo says to them.
 
"We all know how to cook. It's just a matter of supplies." Ruth tells him, adding, By the way, the Kosher Bacon, is in your hand.
 
Hondo looks at his hand, seeing:

 
"This is the kosher bacon?" Hondo says, "Looks like Regular Bacon to me."
 
"Beef bacon is Kosher bacon. See the 'K' in a circle? That means that it is Kosher."  Ruth explains.
 
"Well, it does not matter, to me anyways." Hondo says as he hands the Kosher bacon to Ruth, "Do me a fave and give that to our guest inside. I'm gonna find a place to rest."
 
"Sure 'nuff I will." Ruth says. "What would you like for breakfast?"
 
"Val will take care of that for me. But thanks for offerin'." Hondo says as he begins to close up the trailer..
 
Val steps out 1/2 way from their camper and calls to him, "Hondo, I need to have a word with you, about what we spoke of last night."

Note: Remember, we skipped an entire several hours from before our characters sat down to eat to when they went to bed. Anything could have happened in those hours.
 
Mavis is making biscuits.
 
Quote from Jeanette on Jan 27th, 2017, 8:59am:
Egg is also used in making biscuits so she mixes up a batch of biscuits.

Edit: I inserted Mavis following only the written Torah to explain why she only observes Biblical Kosher and not Rabbinic Kosher.
 
RPG:
 
Ariel approaches Valentine in a different school uniform from what she wore the day before, hair and makeup are done. "Valentine, need help in the kitchen?" Ariel looks at Hondo. "You must be Hondo. Hi, I'm Ariel."

Hondo looks at Ariel, grumpily and thinks to himself, "Swell. Another mouth to feed." but decides to keep such thoughts to himself.
 
Hondo: yup.
 
Valentine (to Ariel): Mavis is making breakfast. Ruth and Joanna just when in to help. Why don't you go in and see if they need anything. I need to talk to Hondo alone for a moment.
 
Ariel nodded and went inside.
 
Valentine walked up to Hondo.
 
Valentine: you should sit down before you fall down. You look horrible!
 
Hondo: thanks.
 
Valentine: you alright?
 
Hondo: yeah. Just tried and woke up bad. Never could see how you could wake up so cheery with only a few hours of sleep.
 
 Valentine: always have been able to.
 
Hondo: so what's up?  
 
Hondo grabbed his chair and moved it beside the camper. He opened a second one for Valentine. They sat down and Valentine sighed.
 
Valentine: it's the girls. Tonya walked me out last night and we talked for a bit outside before I went to the hospital to check on Karl. She was one side talking that Mavis for a few minutes after I left and she said she heard a bang and went back in. She found some stuff messed up, pans out of the cupboards, and the poor kitten inside the cupboard shaking.
 
Hondo: we will need to address this real get fast. Anything else?
 
Valentine: Tonya said she overheard bits and put exes of conversations that worried her but she said she didn't hear enough to be sure of anything. Could be just girl talk.
 
Hondo: and knowing Maceys troubled past it could be more. We need to sit down and talk to her to make she she knows what's what and she can ask us anything.
 
Valentine: I feel the same way.
 
Hondo: good. Then you talk to her
 
Valentine: Me?! But ... she likes you more.
 
Hondo: maybe so, and I know that t bothers you, but seeing as to what Maceys past is...
 
Valentine: maybe she'd say more to another woman?
 
Hondo: that's my thinking.
 
Valentine: and she does love you more. I does bother me some but seeing as how you saved her I can't blame her and it doesn't make me love them less.
 
Hondo:  that's what matters. Just don't let it come between us.
 
Valentine: I won't. I know how they feel. You saved me once.
 
Hondo: you saved yourself. I just helped.
 
Valentine: well, I'll get the girls up and ready for breakfast. I'll talk to Zoey after everything is cleaned up.
 
Hondo: ok. Let me know what is said. I'll need to talk to Jefe so he can handle things from his side.

Note: There are getting to be more and more people to feed. I'm sure Jason and Wilma are going to be added, and Ariel stepped in to help. Note that the room inside Hondo's camper is tight so about 6 people can be in there and everyone will need to watch their steps so no toes are stepped on.
 
The more food the better. This is not just about making food but also sharing what resources and responsibilities they have. Ruth has 6 in her camper, so if she can get eggs, meat and oatmeal for trading biscuits and helping out, that is what she will do. Everybody has a job to do, what that job is is mostly on them unless a job is appointed to them. Illness and injury will excuse somebody from their appointed responsibilities.
 
But everyone has their own kitchens in their campers. Hondo does have the biggest kitchen available but everyone should not be going there as the only source of food and food preparation. It is not that Hondo's supplies and resources are being absorbed by the group, that is not the issue. In the end this Val's kitchen and she runs it as it is needed.
 
Rabbinic Kosher lists the animals they can not eat, while Biblical Kosher describes what animals can not be eaten. This posses a problem for Mavis in that one of the descriptions says that they can not eat animals with a cloven (split) hoof. Pigs do fit into this category, but so does some goat, sheep and cattle - all depending on their origins. An example of this is Mountain Goat and sheep have a single hoof (like a horse) but several plains goat and sheep have a split hoof like a camel or pig's hoof. Same with certain cattle. The animal is the same or similar, the evolution of their hooves depended on where their species branch evolved.
 
For her sake, lets assume that the kosher food in the area is kosher enough for her to eat without breaking any rules she lives under.
 


RPG:
 
Hondo looks at Ariel and thinks to himself, "Swell. Another mouth to feed." but decides to keep such thoughts to himself. Instead he says to her, "Excuse me, Miss. I got things to do at the moment." He then turns to Val, "Sorry hon. I got to check on our guests, an' on Karl an' get Fernando up and going. So I need you to be in charge of the camp even while we are here."
 
Val lets out a sigh for a moment before she answers, "I understand. I'll have a breakfast sandwich for you and Fernando ready in a few then."
 
"Thanks Hon, that is greatly appreciated." Hondo tells her, "I'll see you in a bit.
 
First thing Hondo does is go into the second trailer of the tractor trailer they brought in night before. Their captives were still there, sitting against the walls with their hands bounded behind him.
 
"Good mornin' folks. I'm going to release some of you from your bonds so I can get y'all fed. But know this - I do not know the name of this town but General Jastrey runs it and her men are under order to shoot first and ask questions later if any of y'all try to make an attempt to escape. And don't try to start your truck, I disabled it so you're stuck here until we decide what to do with you. As of right now, y'all are under arrest until we get some facts straight out." He explains before he unties Wilma.
 
"If it were me I would not feed them." A voice says behind him, making Hondo turn around.
 
"Jefe, I thought you would be still sleepin'!" Hondo says.
 
"Yeah. But we got a long day, and that day will start without us if we so let it." Fernando walks in with a thermos in one hand and his cane in the other, closing the door behind him. "Now, to get you all in your other trailer." He says as he turns the crystal on his cane before everyone gets teleported into the other trailer's kitchen area, including the dogs and their food and water bowls.
 
Once in the other trailer, Fernando releases them from their bonds by teleporting them away. "You're free to walk about the camp but you are not allowed to leave the area. There's a water spout about 50 yards into this parking area you can fill up your water tanks with. Wilma and Jason are the only ones that I will allow to go into town and get needed food supplies." He tells them.
 
"You doomed us all." Karol tells him.
 
"I don't care what your problem is, Miss. But under arrest means you are under my protection for now and for until I turn you over to the authorities. How dare you try to attack and rob us while we were trying to help." Fernando tells her.
 
Karol tries to explain her side but Fernando interrupts her from starting, "I don't want to hear it. Not from you, not from anybody. So shut up and feed your brood. We'll be back." He then turns to Hondo, "Let's go check on Karl and the hospital." These words make the trailer group think differently of their captors.
 
As they get to Karl's SUV, they see Maribelle and Teri step out of Karl's camper. Fernando intercepts them, "Val is in her camper making breakfast. See what you two can do to help before you two can eat. And I mean you two. I do not want to hear that you delegated responsibility to this girl."
 
Maribelle looks at Fernando for a moment, knowing the voice of authority when she hears it. She does not question the order, just answers, "Will do. Let's go Teri..."
 
With them out the way, Fernando turns to Hondo, "Lets go check on Karl." It takes then a few seconds to climb into his SUV, finding awake but barely and in a lot of pain.
 
Fernando hands the thermos bottle to Hondo, "Remember that remedy I gave Tonya?"
 
"Yeah." Hondo replies.
 
"I made one for him in there. Just got to get him to sit up and drink it." Fernando explains before turning to Karl. "Karl, I need to to bare the pain but after this I promise you will be fine in a couple of days and all those bandages can come off tonight though you will be weak for a couple of days until you get your strength back up in a couple days. You understand what I'm telling you?"
 
Karl nods from his laying down position.
 
"OK, lets do this. Hondo, you take that side and I'll take this side and we can sit him up without too much pain." Fernando explains.
 
"Ready when you are." Hondo says.
 
"Lets do this." Fernando says. They both begin to lift Karl up and put him into a sitting position in the rear seat of his camper. Karl groans in pain but it was short lived. Fernando opens up his blankets so his good arm would be freed and then asks Hondo, "Give me the thermos, Please."
 
"Here ya go." Hondo replies and he hands over the thermos.
 
Fernando prepares the thermos with a straw out of it. He hands it to Karl, "Drink it all up. it wont taste great but it will get you better, I promise you that."
 
Karl looks at him as he sniffs the straw, not liking the smell of it.
 
"Yo, Karl. Remember Tonya was shot up, and Jefe gave her that drink and you can see that she is a lot better than before in a very short amount of time. So if you want to get better, you better drink all of that up." Hondo tells him.
 
Karl nods though not wanting too. He parts his mouth open bit despite the pain of a broken jaw. Fernando puts the straw into his mouth before Karl closes it. It takes him a couple of minutes to drink down the foul tasting drink from the thermos. It was foul to him as it was meat protein based, and though an omnivore, Karl is more of a vegetarian than a meat eater. Fernando takes the empty thermos.
 
Fernando hangs a plastic bottle by its handle on the back of the front seat of SUV, "If you need to pee, pee in that." He takes the top cover off it. He continues, "If you need to shit, try to hold it for as long as you can, you'll be in better shape to do without needing help to get out of your SUV in the afternoon than right now."

 
Karl nods.
 
"Now rest up." Fernando tells him.
 
"How about How about we move him over to his camper. It is his camper." Hondo points out.
 
"You know. You're right. It is his camper. I'm just thinking about his two lady friends interfering and getting him more hurt in the process." Fernando says.
 
"Well, they know the layout of this town and people to talk too better than most, we can take them with us for the intel." Hondo points out.
 
"Alright. You get the ladies, I'll get Karl in the camper so he wont need to use the pee-jug. And if you see Jeanette among the living, tell her I want to speak with her. I'll take care of Karl from here." Fernando says as he takes the jug from the back of the SUV's front seat..
 
"Will do Jefe." Hondo says before he steps out of the SUV.
 
Fernando twists the crystal on his cane and teleports him and Karl to the camper, with Karl sitting on the edge of the bed and Fernando on the sofa next to him.
 
"OK Karl. As you know, that door is your bathroom with a toilet and shower. You're taking a shower after the bandages come off tonight. At least now you can go and take care of business when you need it. I'll check up on you when I return from town." Fernando tells him as he unties his arm's cast from his rib cast, "There, that should give you some freedom to move and take care of business. Now lie down and rest up. I'll see you in a few hours."
 
Karl nods.
 
Fernando gets up from his seat, and walks out of Karl's camper. Outside he meets with Hondo, Maribelle and Teri. Hondo hands him an egg, meat and cheese sandwich with some coffee in a metal bottle.

 
As the items are handed over to Fernando, General Jastrey arrives with a few of her men.
 
"Top of the morning to you." General Jastrey says to them, adding, "You interrogated your prisoners?"
 
"They have been warned not to leave town without permission, and they know only 2 of them can leave for town for supplies. The rest can walk around the premises to the water spout over there. I'll interrogate them further later, right now we got some business to take care off." Fernando answers.
 
"AH, yes. The hospital. Well, Lets go. My vehicles are here to take us." General Jastrey tells him.
 
"Jefe. I told Val to have Jeanette contact you by radio." Hondo tells him.
 
"Thanks." Fernando replies.
