"That's not it at all." Denver states. "Food and other things should not go to waste.
 
"Ingrate? I was told to choose between a rock and a hard place. It was jail, Youth Corps or a new lifestyle. I was not given any other choice."
 
Moro sees the situation getting even more ugly. "You're wrong, Denver. You were given another choice. At any time between here and Charlton you are free to leave the party. If you see a nice refugee camp that you like, you can build yourself a cozy home there using materials from the local dump.
 
"Wait, I got a better idea. Since you feel that strongly about food going to waste, I know of a job where you can do something about it."
 
"What job is this?" Denver asks.
 
"Feeding pigs. There isn't a demand for pig farming in Charlton but we should be able to set you up at a pig farm someplace."

Quote from Jeanette on May 16^th, 2017, 7:51pm:

 
In hearing this, Fernando stops, making General Jastrey stop. They both turn and face Moro.
 
“Is there a problem, Moro?” Fernando asks out loud to be heard.
 
“There is no problem, Fernando.” Moro answers.
 
“Good. Bring the adult leader and you two can inspect this vehicle with us.” Fernando tells them, “Bring the Lieutenant and the girl too.”
 
Sometimes Fernando’s decisions leave people wondering. Nonetheless Moro gets the requested people to go into the large bus vehicle. The driver, one of General Jastrey’s men, gives the keys to the bus to the General along with a set of notes about the vehicle. The others look about, seeing various things inside.
 
They look over the kitchen behind the driver’s seat, seeing a 3 burner stove and a larger sink than most of the campers/trailers have in the group. Next to it, a large washing machine, though not like what the rest have, this looks more industrial in that it can take a larger load. On top of it was a 3sq ft refrigerator, almost twice as large than the campers’ refrigerators.
 
As they looked, Fernando was able to unfold a set of three beds from the wall all at once, seeing the linkage was attached to and supports all 3 beds and with about 2 1/2 feet of space between the beds. Counting the beds there were 18, with three set up in a row on each side. (Video show similar units and set up but with two beds instead of three beds.)

The bathroom was enclosed n the back with double toilet and double showers in a semi private setting inside the enclosure (using pull curtain system). There are 4 sets of benches behind the main entrance that can sit 4 children in each or 3 adults. The back of the bend can be pulled into to make the benches face the front or the rear of the bus. Under the seats were cabinets and under the beds is access to the storage area below the floor, which Fernando requested the outside access doors tack welded shut to prevent thieves from getting in from the outside. One of the storage chamber contained the bus’s heater and generator to supply power when the bus’ engine is not running. The exhaust from the generator went into the bus’ exhaust system. The Storage Section next to it is the Battery section, which powers the bus’ electrical system and is recharged by the generator when it runs low. This saves fuel and wear & tear on the generator.
 
Above accessible by a ladder is the “Captain’s Quarters” where the Housemother would sleep in. Part of the AC and Air Circulation system was outside of the Captain’s Quarters with controls in both the driver’s section and the Captain’s Quarters. It was powered by the generator’s or the bus engine.
 
Another storage has fold away tables that can be used inside the bus or outside. The chairs can be used for outside while the beds and benches can be used as eats inside. Two other storage areas had the blankets, pillows and blankets for each bed. Two Storage units near the kitchen were filled with various foods of non-perishable items, including powdered milk and canned (in both cans and jars) meats, vegetables and fruits. One had a few bags of fresh assorted vegetables, which will last a while on their own. Fernando takes one of each (a pillow, sleeping bag and blanket) and puts it on the middle bed. He then calls to Denver, “You, girl. Come here and set up your bed.”
 
“Why is everybody picking on me!” Denver lets out.
 
Fernando steps closer to her, “I’m just going to say this once to you, girl. I don’t care who you are. I don’t care who your parents were. What is going on to you right now is called Karma. Karma is when how you live your life and treat others is reflected back to you. Since you think all this is bad happening to you, you must have had a life where you bossed and bullied those around you that Karma is now throwing all the bad things you did back at you. The only way out of it and have good Karma be thrown at you is that you start accepting what you did wrong in bossing and bullying everyone around and start being nice to the people around you. Now, I want to see something. Go to that bed and set up your pillow blanket and sleeping bag. I want to see if it fits and if you fit in it too.”
 
Denver just gives him a scowl and tries to outstare him, but it is hard to tell if she is or not through his dark glasses.
 
“I’m giving you one warning, don’t try my patience with me – ever. You dare do so, and you will find yourself naked tied to a tree and covered in honey or buried in the sand with just your head sticking out from the ground. Hopefully the fire ants, giant mutant chickens or the Mooks will kill you before the pain becomes too great for you while the rest of us continue the ride to the next town.” Fernando tells her.
 
“You’re just a stupid man, just like all the others in this town. Get near me and I’ll kick you in the balls.” Denver tells him.
 
Fernando steps up to her and stands in front of her, putting his hands on his hips and his legs spread apart at shoulder’s width. He then points to his groin, “There are my balls. Go ahead and kick them. I dirty dog dare you.”
 
Denver looks at him then at his groin and the distance between them.
 
“Denver, don’t do it.” The Housemother tells her.
 
“Let her do it. She thinks I’m just...*.” Fernando begins to say before Denver does kick him, thinking that she caught him off guard. But Fernando just looks at her before taking her foot off his groin and pushes her flat on her ass on the floor. “If that is the best you can do, consider yourself dead.”  He then shows her his open hand and closes it into a tight fist with his finger and knuckles joints popping before launching it to a nearby metal wall. His fist impacts the metal wall loudly, and as he his fist pulls away from the wall, there is an indentation of his fist on it. “Next time you hit me, I will hit you back. Let that dent on the wall remind you that it could have been you instead of it. Now get to that bed and set up the sleeping bag, blanket and pillow and get in it. I want to see how things and you fit inside.” He tells her before pointing to the bed. He steps out of the way for her to go past him and do as he told her.
 
Eventually Denver gets up and gets to the bed, looking at it.
 
“You should not have done that. She is not having a good day.” Moro tells him.
 
“Oh, like the week you and the spirits have given us has been a joy ride in the park? I’m sick of it Moro. Very sick of it. But I’m going to ride this trip out to the very end and do what is requested by your kind and rescue anyone and everyone along the way that needs help because as an EMT and rescuer, that is my job to do. Not yours. And as an EMT and Rescuer, I take no excuses because when you take excuses in the act of rescuing and helping others, people get hurt and people die. That I am not going to allow, not by you, not by any army and not by some snot nose brat who thinks she’s above the adults around her. Respect is given, trust is earned. But act stupid enough, and you lose that respect and you will end up working hard to get back what was given for free in the first place. Anybody who wants to come to Charlton with us, as I see it, is welcomed to do so. I will even provide what help they need to get there. All I ask is that they respect the leaders and adults of this group and put in a day’s work to earn their bed and meals. Children are excluded from working but they should keep their things and area neat and clean. Jeanette and I are the ones in charge of this group, then Hondo, Val, and Hikaru are second in charge. Then you, Mavis, Ruth and Joanna are third in charge after that. Then whoever is next in line is in charge. Everyone else is to follow the line. Now let’s check out this bus’ set up.” Fernando tells her before pointing to Denver fixing up the bed.
 
Moro, the Housemother and Lieutenant Benson step up to Denver and the bed while General Jastrey and Fernando stay behind for a moment.
 
General Jastrey leans over to him and said softly, “That is the first time I seen the riot act being read to anyone in the nicest manner possible.”
 
“If you think I was being nice? What I did to Biggus and his airships was being nice because being dead, they no longer have to deal with me. Being told off and remaining alive, they need to deal with me again and again. That is not nice. Now let’s see if this Space Cadet passes inspection.” Fernando tells her.
 
Together both Fernando and General Jastrey goes to check out the bed Denver has set up. Denver has still not gotten in it. They look at the bed and how it was made. It could be improved on but it passes inspection.
 
“Get in it.” Fernando tells Denver.
 
“Why should I?” Denver dares throw at him.
 
“I’ll say this once. If you’re comfortable in there, then our job is done. If you are not comfortable in there then changes has to be made.” Fernando tells her.
 
Denver looks at the bed and wonders how she is going to get in it.
 
“Is there a problem?” General Jastrey asks.
 
“She does not know how to get in.” Fernando answers, then explains, “Grab the frame of the top bed with your hands and put your toes on the bottom bunk and lift yourself up into the bed.”
Denver thinks on the instructions given to her. As she thinks, Fernando goes about and opens up all the other beds and looks at them. His actions go unnoticed.
“Three sets of three on each wall, makes 18 beds. Each bed is 6ft, so this is about 18ft of length taken up. Each bed is 2 1/2ft wide, that is 5ft taken up, the bus is 8ft wide, that leaves 3ft in the middle.” Fernando says as he takes some visual measurements.
“What does that have to do with anything?” Denver throws out to be heard.
 
“Why are you not in the bed seeing if it fits or not. Besides, what good are wings if you can’t fly.” Fernando throws at her. He then calls out to the women on the bus with him and he lifts up and closes a section of bunks, “Ladies, come look at this.”
 
“What is it Fernando?” General Jastrey asks.
 
“Well, you and the Lieutenant should already know this, but Moro and this adult leader does not – these safety hooks locks the beds in the folded position. For any of us that is not a problem. But for the children, one of them can get hurt if they try to do it on their own. So, when the beds are set up, two of the older teens should release the hooks and put down the beds slowly so no one gets hurt. Also, the young ones should sleep at the lower beds and the teens on the upper beds, this way if one of the younger ones rolls out of bed and falls down, they do not have far to fall down own.” Fernando explains.
 
“The beds should be up when you’re on the road. But if you’re parking for 2 or more days, the beds should remain down.” General Jastrey points out.
 
“I’ll take all that into consideration.” The Housemother tells him.
 
“Thank you that you will.”Fernando tells her before he begins to lift up the other beds back into their folded position. He then throws in, “Looks like you got the best ride of the group. Don’t trade it for anything.”
 
“It’s that good?” The Housemother asks.
 
“It’s better than good, it’s great. The bathroom sharing might be a bit of a challenge but I think you can get it to work. Separate light switches for selected areas including each bed having its own lights. Air circulation for cooled and heated air, and seats for everyone to sit on when on the road. No one should be in the bed when on the road.” Fernando points out. He then looks at Denver who is still standing next to the bed. “Girl, I swear. Have it your way. Before this day is over, Karma is going to bite you on your ass when you meet with Lucy.”
 
“Who the #$@! is Lucy.” Denver lets out.
 
“In my group is a Goat-wessen named Karl. I got fed up with his crap so I had him meet Lucy. Lucy made sure that I no longer to deal with Karl’s crap ever again. You talk to him as to who Lucy is.” Fernando tells Denver. He then turns to General Jastrey, “I’m satisfied with what is here.”
 
“Everything seems to be in working order.” General Jastrey says before holding out the keys to Housemother, “This Troop Transport is now yours. May she serve you well as she served us.”
 
“Time to get your troops in here and loaded up, washed up and read for dinner. As they wash up and get ready, you can teach the older ones how to set up the beds and then fold them up. They got a few hours to get themselves ready for dinner at 8PM. I’m not saying dress to impress, but, you know – make yourselves presentable. There is a driver’s meeting at 5PM, whoever is your second in command will have to watch over them while you are at this meeting. I’ll see about you getting washed up and presentable for the meeting if you cannot get it done here.” Fernando says before walking to the front of the bus and steps off.
 
“I’ll manage.” The Housemother says.
 
“Good.” Fernando says before he steps off the bus, followed by General Jastrey and Lieutenant Benson.
 
Once outside, General Jastrey tells Fernando, “I have to meet with my men in that tent. The Driver’s meeting will be held in there as well, I’ll set up the kitchen for tonight’s dinner inside the tent before it is taken down. Just leave everything to me.”
 
“If you insist.” Fernando replies.
 
“Lieutenant Benson, we got a meeting to attend.” General Jastrey says.
 
“Yes Sir!” Lieutenant Benson replies.
 
The three of them break up into their separate directions, followed by the Housemother stepping off the bus and gathering her charges and taking them inside the bus.

Fernando walks towards Karl’s SUV. Like before Maribelle intercept him from going forward.
 
“Where are you heading to now, and who’s going to take care of those dirty street urchins?” Maribelle throws at him in question.
 
“Where I am going is none of your business. And as to who will take care of those children, even you will have your turn in dealing with them one day. Everyone has a job to do here, Maribelle. Including you. You are not to delegate responsibilities to anyone in this group because you are not a group leader. But I will need you for your information and political influence as those will greatly help out. But for you to mope around like some worthless victim, is going to get you nowhere in this group and in this life. This is why I need you to go with Moro and get what you need to look and play the part you were born to be in – somebody of great importance, influence and power. That means getting the things you need from your house and I’ll see about getting them fixed up if you think they have been violated. Also you should get what important things from there before somebody loots the place empty. The wine you stated that is in the wine cellar, we need some of it and the rest you can sell and make money from. You, I and General Jastrey can do something about fixing up the place so when you go to Charlton, you always have a place here to go to. I’m trying to make the same deal for Ruth and Joanna and their family farms. Do you accept what I am proposing?” Fernando tells her.
 
“I’ll need to think about it.” Maribelle replies snootily.
 
“You got an half an hour to think about it. Then you got make a decision whether you like it or not, for if you don’t, the group will make a decision for you.” He tells her.
 
“Hmph...” Maribelle replies, trying to be the ever so hard to get southern princess, but Fernando is onto her game for Tammy used to be the same way.
 
Though he’s has noticed them as they entered the parking lot, Fernando has not paid to Marvin and Karl. The pull cart was loaded up past its fencing with moving blankets. It was so heavy that Karl has Marvin pull it instead.
 
Karl walks right up behind Fernando, “We got the blankets for you.”
 
Fernando turns to look at Karl, then Marvin and then the blankets on the Pull Cart piled up high that it was up to Marvin’s tail.
 
“How many did you get?” Fernando asks.
 
“Every single one Jerry had left. He said that these have been sitting around for years with no body buying them so we bought them all.” Karl explains as he picks up a plastic bag and hands it to Fernando.
 
Fernando read the package, “Quantity:2 | Size: 144in X 96in (12ft by 8ft)”
 
“Damn, I did not think they made them this big? How many blankets and how much did it cost?” Fernando asks.
 
“More than 20 packs...” Marvin says.
 
“More than 30, I think it was 35.” Karl says, “I lost count. But Jerry only wanted a gold coin for it, the one with 1-0-0 on it.” Karl explains.
 
“That’s not bad, considering.” Fernando says, then he asks. “You still got the other coins I gave you?”
 
“Got them all.” Karl says.
 
“Keep it. It is for you and Marvin for doing a great job.” Fernando tells him.
 
“What are you going to do with all these moving blankets?” Maribelle asks.
 
Fernando points to Karl’s SUV, “The back area will be lined up with a couple of them so you and Teri can sleep back there...”
 
“Why am I sleeping the back of the SUV? I’m Not sleeping in the back of the SUV!” Maribelle lets out.
 
“When we are on the road, like tonight, nobody will be sleeping in the trailer. It is too dangerous to sleep in a trailer while it is being towed. I have been with the convoy for 2 nights and on each night a trailer had flipped over and the convoy stopped to set it right again. You do not want to be sleeping in a trailer and it suddenly flips on your head, it is not safe to do so, you could be hurt or killed. The only safe place to sleep while on the road is in the SUV. The back area can be for you and Teri, and La La and Li Li can sleep in the bench seat in front of you. The blankets are to make the floor of the SUV soft and warm enough for you to sleep on. Or would you prefer to sleep on the cold hard metal floor? Do I make myself clear on that?” Fernando explains and asks.
 
Maribelle lets out a sigh before saying, “OK. I’ll sleep on the back of the SUV with Teri while La La and Li Li sleep on the bench.”
 
“Thank you.” Fernando tells her. He then turns to Karl, “Let’s start this. I got the rear, you got the bench seat. Marvin can help out by pulling on the other side for you.”
 
“Alright.” Karl says.
 
Unknown to Karl, the rear bench seat folds down and slides over, making a larger bed by pulling on a couple of hidden handles. Now he knows. Fernando climbs into the rear section and sets up the blankets, one set of 20 to cover the floor and one of each from a pack of two to set up two ‘beds’ in the rear area. When done he sits on the rear door resting on its bumper.
 
“Maribelle, go get your pillows and blankets, we’ll set up your beds now. Karl, go into the storage unit and pull out 2 more pillows and blankets for La La and Li Li.” Fernando says to them.
 
Though the request was done, Maribelle was a little reluctant in doing so. And they only used up 3 packs of blankets, hardly making a dent into the pile on the pull wagon. Fernando takes 4 packs and hands them to Maribelle.
 
“If you don’t mind, please put those in the camper beside the bed. We will store them later.” Fernando says to her.
 
Maribelle does as she’s told in her typical snooty way. Fernando then takes 8 from the pile, making 2 piles of 4.
 
“Karl, if you don’t mind, please give these to Hondo. He may need them or not but say they are from me for him to have. These others are for me, I’ll leave them in your SUV for now.” Fernando says to him.
 
“Will do.” Karl says before he heads to Hondo’s camper.
 
Eight are given to Hikaru for the VW Gas camper and Jeanette’s VW Bug. Four were given to Ruth and Joanna. The remaining 8 are given to the Housemother in her bus. As Fernando explained it to her, “They can be used for many things, including a picnic blanket or making the floor soft while everyone sleeps.”
 
Fernando then takes his blanket and pull cart to his VW Camper, telling Marvin to be with Karl and make sure he is safe. Inside the camper, he picks up his cat and tells Macey to step outside. He just points for her to walk as he adjusts Meeshie to lie on his shoulder.
 
After getting to the far end of the parking lot, Fernando stops them from going further.
 
“Give me a damn good reason why I should not send you back to your mother.” He suddenly tells her.
 
“Because you promised to be my father?” Macey replies.
 
“According to your mother, I am not the first family you ran away with. So how many others have you ran away with before me and for how long?” Fernando tells her.
 
“I never ran away with anybody, I swear!” Macey gets upset.
 
“Then why is your mother saying so that you did? More so, she said she had caught you doing it with dogs more than one time. Is that true too?” Fernando tells her.
 
“No! I never did it at all! Not with a man or a dog! I swear.” Macey begins to cry, “You got to believe me!”
 
“I really do not care, so you can turn of those tears, I swear.
 
“Why don’t you believe me?” Macey asks as she cries.
 
“Because you lie too much, you spread lies and speak of things you do not know. You have hurt other people’s feelings and think it is funny to do so. I swear Macey, this shit ends right now! You are not to ever talk to anyone about anything ever again.” He tells her.
 
“But Why?!!!” Macey says through her tears.
 
“Let me tell you why.” Fernando begins, “Because of you, spreading lies and falsehoods about love and sex to Zoey, for putting her in a tough spot, and embarrassing her, she ran away. Because she ran away, Val went looking for her. Because Val went after looking for Zoey, Val was attacked and kidnapped by another group of slavers. Those slavers want us in Fight Town to win her back, that is if she is still alive. All this is because of your fault. If you would have kept your mouth shut and not said anything about things you do not know, Zoey would not have ran away and Val would not have gotten attacked and kidnapped. Because of you, Hondo and I have to go to Fight Town to go find Val and bring her back alive if she is alive and to do so means going into the ring and win. That is why you are to remain shut up and quiet until I tell to you speak, until then you are not to ever talk to anyone about anything. Not to Zoey, not to other friends, not to Hondo, not to Val, not to me, not to anybody. If you open your mouth to anyone, I will make sure you will never open it again. Do I Make Myself Clear?!!”
 
Macey just cries, dropping to her knees and thinking what may have happened to Val and what may happen to Hondo and her dad – Fernando when they get to Fight Town.
 
“Do I Make Myself Clear On This?!!” He tells her louder.
 
“Yes!” Macey lets out load as she cries.
 
Fernando lets it sink into her for a moment before telling her, “For what it is worth, your last words to anyone will be you apologizing to Hondo and Zoey for doing what you did to make these things happen. You females wants drama because your lives are so boring, well, this is enough drama for a life time because you may have cost somebody their life! Your shit making drama days are no more after this. Now let’s go.”
 
It takes them several minutes to get to Hondo’s camper. When they get there, Fernando knocks on the door. Hondo opens it, finding Fernando and Macey standing outside.
 
“Zoey inside?” Fernando asks.
 
“Yeah. Come on in.” Hondo tells them.
 
“Call her to come out.” Fernando says as he signals Macey to step inside first. He then steps in, taking Meeshie off his shoulder. “Meeshie get Meow Meow.” He tells his cat before putting her on the floor.
 
Meeshie sniffs the air and then the ground before trotting off to some hidden area in the back of the camper.
 
“What’s wit’ the cat?” Hondo asks.
 
“It’s part of this knucklehead’s lesson. Now, call for Zoey, please.” Fernando tells him.
 
“Zoey, Uncle Fernando wants to see you, now!” Hondo calls for her.
 
Zoey comes out from their bedroom, “Yes, Daddy?”
 
“Mew, mew, mew, mew, mew...” can be heard getting louder as Meeshie returns carrying Kitty by the scruff of her neck. Fernando picks up the both of them in his hands, where Meeshie drops Kitty in his palm and starts licking her.
 
“Zoey, Hondo, Macey has something to tell you both.” Fernando tells them, giving Macey a slight push with his elbow. “Tell them.”
 
It takes a while for her to recompose herself, but Macey says “I’m sorry.”
 
“You call an apology? You need to say you’re sorry and why you are sorry.” Fernando tells her. “Now try again.”
 
Macey tries to hold back her tears, “I’m sorry, sorry for saying those things to embarrass you and make you run away! Sorry for making Auntie Val to go looking for you, and she getting attacked and kidnapped!” She losses it at this point and becomes an emotional train wreck.
 
“Maybe we should step out for a moment.” James says as he stepped out of the bathroom.
 
“No. You stay and watch the show.” Fernando tells him. He then nudges Macey, “No apologize to Hondo.”
 
Macey tries hard to say but the only words to come out between her sobs and tears were, “I’m sorry, I really, really am!”
 
 
“It’s OK, Macey...” Hondo tries to say.
 
Fernando lets out a disgruntled sigh before saying, “Now, one more apology.”
 
“To who? Tonya is not here.” Macey points out as she cries.
 
“I’m guessing she is here, but it is not she you are to apologize.” Fernando tells her.
 
“Then who?” Macey asks.
 
Fernando takes her by the shoulder and spins her around. He then holds out Kitty to her face while Meeshie licks the little ball of fur.
 
“The cat?” Macey asks.
 
“Kitty is not a cat, She is a Kitten – a baby cat, one who is too young to know what is right or wrong. If she were to be a person, she would only be 2 years old. You tried to hurt her and then hide her. Why? Because she scratched you or bit you? She’s a cat and that is all she knows, more so she is a kitten, a baby cat, so what do you think she knows? She can’t talk, all she can do is to act to defend her tiny self against the likes of you. She is smaller than you are. So she acted in the only way she knows how in trying to protect herself from what you were doing to her. And you are to respect all life, great and small, and she’s one of the smallest lives you will ever meet. So apologize to this little one. And you better hope she understands.” Fernando tells her before holding Kitty towards her.
 
Kitty is scared but Meeshie keeps her calmed down by licking her.
 
Macey eventually apologizes as she cries, “I’m sorry, sorry for being mean to you.”
 
“And you will never do it again.” Fernando tells her.
 
“Never...” Macey says.
 
“You are not to never ever speak another word to anyone ever again unless I tell you to speak. Now have a seat.” Fernando tells her, pointing to Hondo’s recliner.
 
“Ouch. That’s rather harsh.” James points out.
 
“I will raise my child the way I see fit. She’s lucky I do not tear the hide off her ass.” Fernando tells him.
 
“Zoey. Take her to the bedroom. We need to discuss business here.” Hondo tells them.
 
“OK, daddy...” Zoey says. She then turns to Macey, “Let’s go. They got grown-up stuff to talk about.”
 
Macey turns to Fernando who nods at her. She then follows Zoey up to where the bedroom is at.
 
After a few moments to make sure they are not listening in, Fernando asks, “What’s the business?”

Where is a 110 AC outlet for Penny to use her sewing machine?

"Housemother," Moro halts the round up of the children, "may I talk to Denver for a minute?"
 
"Denver!" The housemother calls out.
 
Denver steps off the bus. "Yes, Housemother?"
 
"Moro is here to talk to you."
 
Denver looks at Moro. "What do you want?"
 
"I wanted to ask you to hold off a couple of hours before taking a shower. Let others go before you."
 
"Why?"
 
"There's a dress maker in camp. She would be able to make wing slits for your clothes but I don't know when this can be done. If you wait, the clean clothes that you put on will have wing slits.
 
"I'll be in town and while I'm out I'll see if this town has any wing brushes, one for Jade and one for you."
 
Denver protests. "That's not necessary. I don't need a wing brush."
 
"Yes you do, young lady. Just look at your feathers. You are not taking the proper care of your wings like you should. Do you want to get sick or infected with something?"
 
"No."
 
"In that case if I get you a wing brush, I want you to take care of it and use it."
 
"Alright. By the way, who's Lucy?"
 
"Lucy is a Tyrannosaurus."
 
Denver scoffs. "There aren't anymore dinosaurs. They are all extinct."
 
Moro spares the details. "Fernando can take you to a place where dinosaurs are very much alive."
 
"Is Fernando also a Spirit?"
 
"No, he's human but he travels a lot."
 
"What could be gained by feeding me to a dinosaur?"
 
Actually Moro could think of something. "Nothing."
 
"Nothing? It is as I thought. How am I supposed to talk to Karl if he was fed to the dinosaurs?"
 
"Karl wasn't fed to a dinosaur."
 
"Then what did Karl and Lucy do, sit down to a nice cup of tea?"
 
"I wasn't there but I seriously doubt Karl and Lucy ironed out a few wrinkles over tea." Moro retrieves her mobile device to read a line from the journal:
 
Karl (goat-like features) played Tonya (young woman, red fur, pink hair and fox-like features) and Zoey (girl, blue hair and cat-like features), threatens party and is introduced to Lucy.
 
Moro continues. "Nothing more is said about Karl's meeting with Lucy but he straightened up after that."
 
Note:
 
If Fernando introduces Denver to Lucy, let me write for Denver.
