Road to Newgate<br/><br/>With the threat of death looming over the horizon it seemed to Alistair that many of this group have their priorities way out of whack. With all of the locker room antics and sneaking off behind yon bushes for a quickie, we will be lucky if any one of us are to survive. His play to put Gregory in charge was born simply from survival. As soon as he heard military veteran he knew the battle leader had been found. It's only logical that if you want to survive a battle or a war that you would want the input of someone who actually fought in one, or at least had the basic grasp of military tactics.<br/><br/>There was a small pang of understanding as Kristina and Jessica crept off into the bushes for a bit of a fling. 'Maybe it's not because they are the crotch grabbing, butt smacking high school boys/girls they pretend to be. Perhaps they are dealing with the threat of this battle in their own way.' He thought to himself. A slight smile played across his face but a moment then faded. The odds seemed out of favor for him in this group. The louder and more active of the ladies all seemed to be into each other, or in some cases themselves. Perhaps Newgate itself would allow a man a chance to sow the seeds of contentment before heading off to war.<br/><br/>The rest of the way to Newgate he contents himself with a humming a tune and singing to himself.<br/><br/><br/>The Feast {Molly}<br/><br/>When the characters get bathed, dressed, and assembled in the hall he takes a seat next to Molly. Of everyone in this crew, he has heard from everyone in one way or another except her. She has been quiet as a mouse, taking it all in and seeming the fish out of water. Being somewhat of an outsider himself in this crew of misfits he elected to be the first to open the lines of communication. His wager is that she is quite smart and used to playing her cards close to the vest.<br/><br/>"You have been very quiet throughout our whole 'transition' lady Molly. Every time I steal a glance your way you are watching and assessing the group silently. I've tried to get my own assessment of this 'new world' and the mixed bag of nuts who are now my counterparts, but it's difficult. What is your opinion?"<br/><br/>Alistair is not one to mince words or deceive, so it's fairly obvious he has some reservations.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
