(ooc: because it's been a while. They've been around, really! Thread's staying open till it goes off the first page, and borrowing dogbarked85's format. :D )

Cooper Farm:
Xander was whistling while he placed a notice up on the board for carpentry orders. Now there were bathrooms and showers, he could focus on other things needed to be fixed around the place.

Scully was somewhere around the hospital. She hasn't been avoiding anybody but her rounds have mostly been focusing her in the lower levels, like the morgue. And being in the basement area was familiar to her.

Maria Venkman was wandering out toward a field, trying to find something to do around the place. So far, she's been speaking to the ghost population more than the living one of late.

Lauren Olamina was out in one of the fields, checking on the status of the crops she had sowed. She was also thinking that maybe a school or tutoring should be started around the place, especially after seeing the notice for reading lessons by someone else. It was a good idea to have training and lessons for those who needed it. She was also writing new passages in her journal on Earthseed.

Either the Farm, Smallville, or Metropolis: Kate has been patrolling quietly, or as quietly as you can on a motorbike. She had been going back and forth, and also spending time with Will.

In Metropolis, John Constantine had found a modest flat to hole up in, he had some smokes, and there was a pub where you could get a reasonable pint for America (still shitty, but had to make do until he could suss out what's happened back in London).

Somewhere around the globe, Nathan was going on supply runs, and was continuing to keep an eye out for new arrivals needing help.

And where was Willow? Oh the dark eyed and haired witch has been quietly plotting and amassing power somewhere.

"Aye an just dark thoughts."

"Shh, it's all right."

"Course it is, 'ave ye."

There was a small smile at that.

"Want to go for a ride, find some forests together?"

"Oh aye, means can 'old ye lots too."

The bike is fun and the reactions Kate makes on the bike are even better.

Raised eyebrow as she headed back to the bike, "You will let me drive so we don't go crashing into a ditch right?"

"Aye, long as later, I can make ye make those lovely sounds."

"Later, and yes." Her fingers traced down across his lips before she kissed him for another moment, and then climbed back on the bike.

He gets behind her and wraps his arms around her waist and gently kisses her neck,

"Let's get goin' then."

"Mmmm-hmm. Just watch those thief hands of yours." She gave him a helmet, and put hers back on before starting the engine again. Driving back onto the road again.

"Promise I will, love."

She had to face forward to focus on the road now, but didn't entirely believe he wouldn't try something sneaky. Driving along, wind whipping her hair back, and keeping an eye out for anything resembling a forest. Easier said than done with miles of prairie and fields everywhere. Little wonder tornadoes were so common to this region.

But there was a park and a sign stating that it was the Kanopolis State Park. (http://www.naturalkansas.org/kanopolis.htm) Still more bluffs and prairie than forests, but it was close and a good start.

"What about here? Or keep going?" She yelled back to him over the wind and the engine roar.

"Oh aye, tis greener."

His hand wanders up her side as he grins into her ear.

She sucked in her breath, but kept steering the bike.

"Hang on, going to make a right at the next road, head east a little. Might have better luck there."

Eventually, about a half hour later, they were approaching another sign that said "Milford Lake (http://www.naturalkansas.org/milford.htm)" with a fish hatchery and nature center. There was the Kansas Arboretum (http://www.naturalkansas.org/kansas.htm) close by as well. There was also a slight swampy smell that pointed out wetlands near the forests here.

She pulled over to a stop, letting the bike on idle for the moment.

"How about here? Looks like a lot more to explore."

"Oh aye, I'm good to try loads a places, more fun that way. Na need to get back till we wish to."

"All right then," She then drove down the road into the park to find a parking space, and place to secure the bike.

Once the bikes secure he gives her a good long hug and kisses her neck,

"Tis lovely 'ere."

They had dismounted and she hugged him with a sigh at the kiss.

"It does, ready to go walking around?"

"Aye, next time should bring some food with us."

"........Right. Well, we won't stay too long, just do a little exploring, and head back and eat then. Maybe a picnic out here sometime." She then took his hand, and started to walk along one of the nature trails, hearing some of the birds calling.

Its cleaner and neater than Sherwood which is strange but it also has a different sort of power. His eyes have an extra glint of green to them as he kisses her hand,

"Aye."

"Ok, we're definitely coming back here," she remarked upon noticing his reaction. "Home away from home?"

"Close as can find for now, aye."

He turns and kisses her quite deeply, trying to get across his happiness.

"Glad you like it..mmph!" The kiss cut off her reply, but that was all right. Will was happier, and she did like his kisses.

He grins while keeping her nice and close, "Mm, course I do."
