Hello everyone. My name is Clark. I'll try and keep this brief.

Firstly, I've drawn up a blank list and placed one on the bulletin board on each housing floor. If those with medical expertise feel comfortable, they can put their name, residence here, and — if they have one — specialisation, in case of an emergency. We have several residents who aren't from the same point in time, so if you'd like to volunteer to update someone's medical knowledge, please mark your name with an asterisk.

Secondly, ah-- [ a bit of a laugh. ] I'm from Kansas, which some of you might recognise as being host to some pretty bad weather. Now, I'm not going to say I'm paranoid, but-- I like to think ahead. So, I've made up some kits with some of the usual survival paraphernalia back home and distributed them between floors. Feel free to help yourselves if you need them.

[ No one has to use them, but he’d rather everyone knows they're available. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ She has a point. ]

I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

[First aid supplies are super important and she wants to stock up on all the things.]

Yeah, sure. What all do they have in them?

[signifies]

Food and water for a few days, rope, tarp, a small first aid kit, a flashlight, and a radio.

[ A little more than that, these are the most immediately useful items. ]

[staystrong]

Does the first aid kit have stuff like bandages, antiseptic, and a needle and thread for sewing up wounds?

[Having to seek this stuff out on your own isn't fun, man.]

[signifies]

Yes, and a sterilised field surgery kit. I added some dental floss, it's also useful as thread.

If there's anything else you need, it should be available in the shops.

[staystrong]

I've just learned to be frugal.

[That's one way of putting it. In her world you took opportunities for supplies where you could get them.]

Thanks for doing these.

[signifies]

No problem.

Do you mind if I ask your name and where you're from?

[staystrong]

... My name is Clementine. I'm from Georgia.

[If he wants specifics on world names or whatever, she doesn't have much to add aside from "Earth". He'll have to pry for the details if he wants them.]

[signifies]

Do you mind if I ask what year?

[staystrong]

Uh.

[Shit, what year was it? About five years after the world ended, which was... what year?]

Two thousand... something.

[signifies]

[ Ellie's world...? ]

Are there zombies?

[staystrong]

Walkers. We call them walkers.

[This isn't a movie, damn it.]

[signifies]

Pardon me. Walkers.

Do you know what caused that? Was it an infection of some kind?

[staystrong]

No. No one knows what caused it, but if it's an infection then everyone on earth was infected. All you have to do to turn is die, it doesn't matter how.

If it turns out that bringing me here means I've infected these people too then I'll never forgive whoever's in charge.

[ He could scan her. If it's in her blood he'll know.

Asking her to go to a doctor would be out of the question. ]

Are you staying in the housing block or outside?

[staystrong]

[She has a bed in one of the communal housing areas, but she rarely goes there.]

I have my own place I've been working on. It's not far from the fence.

[signifies]

[ He makes a note to check for it, and her. ]

If you want one for your personal use, I can leave it outside the housing block and watch it to make sure no one takes it, or leave it somewhere nearby where you are so you can pick it up.

[staystrong]

That would be great. I like to have that stuff on hand.

[signifies]

All right. I'll see about getting you one by the end of the day.

[staystrong]

Thanks. I mean it.
