[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6505099, member: 11146"] The driver nodded once in confirmation and stuck out his hand. [color=red]"Gavin Marks, yes. And you are?"[/color] Marks is African-American, probably 6'2" tall, trim, and you have a hard time pegging his age. Somewhere between 28 and 45, you reckon. Marks offers a handshake around to each of you. His grip is firm without being overbearing, and his skin is heated. He's calmer than Garvey, moves slower, and seems more self-assured. [color=red]"This was a large congregation. Well, before the roof fell under the weight of five feet of snow last February. In addition to this room, the, uh, fellowship hall, there are three offices and a reception desk on the main floor. There's the sanctuary, of course, and that has an apse. The nave is pretty big, and the ambulatory--that's the space in the main aisle between the pews--is fairly wide. Some of you can set up a cot in there...the clerestory windows let in some pretty sweet light in the late afternoon. That's where I put my bunk, anyway. Oh, yeah, and there's the kitchen behind the fellowship hall."[/color] Marks frowns, pausing. [color=red]"What am I forgetting? Uh...there's a small conference room. A physical plant. There's a bell tower, but it's open air and I wouldn't want to sleep in there in winter. Or in August. As long as there isn't a fist fight or words over sleeping space, I don't care how you work it out."[/color] Marks smiled at Otter, pleased. [color=red]"We have a $10 grand budget for tech, but only upon completion of the first assignment at the toy store. You and I and whoever else can sit down and pick gear to requisition after you get back from your job."[/color] [color=red]"Take it, plus grab a cot and blankets and a pillow for yourself, and put it wherever suits you. Maybe stay out of the roofing rubble, though. I had a look around and it doesn't look stable on that end. After you've put your stuff somewhere, come back here. We need to suit up and head out in fifteen."[/color] [/QUOTE]
