video: marshes Backdated to last night.

Um guys... [Beverly is currently between the Strand Reagan pod and the Aaron and Eric pod. It's Sunday night, and she was coming over to check on Aaron. She's closer to the Strand pod now though, and there's a fair amount of blood around her. She's looking at, but not touching another communication device. It's older than the other ones, a little more faded and there's some green moss around it.]

I think someone else is missing. I don't know who but...

[She is resisting the urge to toe at the device and see.] But I think I need some help.

Richard is here and Aaron is coming. I was going over to visit Aaron and Eric now that Aaron is back.

[She's like a stray cat they feed. And are kinda like her dads.]

No, there was no one. There's not normally people around here unless they live here. And Richard and Aaron and Eric are okay and Alex isn't back yet.

So there were at least two other people in the area. No one rips out their own communicator like that.

I'm coming over. Even if the guys are gonna be there, I don't want them running off and leaving you alone.

None of the people ripped it out themselves. They can't. It's in people's brains too far. I saw on Alex's.

[And now this one.]

They wouldn't leave me though.

[That she is sure of, not without making sure she was safe first.]

I don't like this...The way that looks, the owner didn't survive having it ripped out. There's too much brain matter left on it.

And I'm already on my way. [She can walk and talk, and her mama bear instincts are taking over.]

They can't. John, the ghost doctor said that they died whenever what happened took their devices out and that it stopped them from coming back right.

And who the hell are you?

I knew it...And I'm Carol, a friend of Aaron and Eric's. We're from the same community.

Alexandria?

[There was that whole memory sharing thing, in addition to what they've talked about.]

Yeah, Alexandria. [She's quiet for a moment, and then--] We could bake some cookies for everyone~

Cookies? Do you really think that would help?

[Bev sounds more than a little skeptical.]

Well, it's not a cure-all, but wouldn't you like having fresh cookies waiting for you when you came home?

Okay. Yeah, that's probably true.

We'll get a big batch made up for everyone. I'm almost to Aaron and Eric's. Do they have cookie dough ingredients? Flour, sugar, salt, things like that?

Probably. You know how Eric cooks a lot.

He does. When I get there, we'll go through the pantry and see what we've got to work with.

Do you think he’ll mind?

He won't mind. I'm here, by the way.

---> Action
[There's a knock at the door as soon as the message comes through.]

[Bev is still slightly pale as she opens the door, and she’s rubbing her hands on a towel. She didn’t actually touch anything but it still feels like a good reason to do it anyway. Trying a smile, it’s got wavering edges around it when she says:]

Hi.

Hello. [She smiles a motherly smile back at the girl, sweeping in past Bev and heading straight for the kitchen.] Ready to get started?

Uh. Okay. Cookies aren’t something that I’ve made before outside of home ec.

[From her tone it sounds like she didn’t do very well in it there.]

Mm, well, we'll make a great batch. [She opens the cabinets, looking for the stash of baking supplies.] What do you think? Chocolate chip?

Is there any other kind?

[For Bev, growing up without a mother or a grandmother, cookies were always chocolate chip, and they were normally from a package if her father was feeling generous. Homemade cookies were just not a thing for her.

Well, there's peanut butter, oatmeal, oatmeal raisin, all chocolate...We might be able to do strawberry or macadamia nut...

[As she speaks, she's rummaging through the cabinets and pulling out ingredients. Flour, sugar, cinnamon, anything she can find.]

We could make snickerdoodles!

What’s a snickerdoodle. It sounds made up.

[Yesh Bev is being a little bit suspicious. Sorry about that.]

When you think about it, all recipes are made up. But snickerdoodles, they're magic. Butter, cinnamon, and sugar, and they just melt in your mouth!

[Beverly tilts her head to the side for a moment, considering and then she gives a casual nod.]

I like butter, cinnamon and sugar. I used to have it on toast sometimes as a treat.
