Prince Edwards' Island

Jax and Sarah crossed the small wooden bridge over to the dining area.

In the dining area there was a sizeable crowd hanging out together talking about the time before the fall. On one side of the tent is a bar with multiple meal items and a cashier. A sign next to the cashier reads: "Three items per person per day". On the far side of the tent is a curtain labeled as the way to the barracks and Sleeping area.
 
“Well, let’s grabbed something to eat, shall we?” Deader said, heading to the bar and approached the cashier. “Does currency still exist in this place? Assuming the money is worth something here.”
 
Caught off guard the cashier looked at him odd "Currency? No, and good riddance too, everything is rationed out on the entry card, all you gotta do is swipe it here and get your food, once a month you can get a new set of clothes, and if this keeps up long enough we may even get seasonal stuff"
Jax and Sarah lined up with their cards ready
 
"So the currency doesn't exist here..." Deader said. "The more I explore this place, the more surprises I come across." Deader pulled out his card, ready for swiping. "Thanks for the info, we're just here for the meals. I'm down for anything, so give me you best selling meals." 

He turns to both Jax and Sarah. "Once we have our filled, we'll get the rest as well."
 
All three end up with the same meal: mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and a quarter cup of baked beans.

Jax takes his time to enjoy his food as Sarah scarfs hers down hungrily.

When they finish they take their trays to the depository and chat while they wait for Deader
 
Deader took quite a while to finished his portion. It wasn't because the food was subpar or anything of the sort, it was his inability to taste anything. The mash potatoes, despite taking in huge chunks, has no distinct taste; the baked beans, although smells good, but when it comes to tasting, it was nothing. "I see... the condition is getting worse..." Deader thought to himself for a moment but shook it off.

As he finished the last bite, he turns to the other two. 

"Alright, looks like we're done here. Let's take a rest before deciding our next move." Deader advise. "If what the receptionist said was true.. if we go to that place control by those gangs... I can find out what's the cause of his outbreak." He stood up and started heading towards the rest area tent.
 
The party went to the bunk tent, a large tent with roof for floor filled with many beds of all sizes and types, it was free game to use any of them.

Jax found the nearest bed and flopped face down into it, it didnt smell the best nor look it but he was taken by the pleasant comfort simply lying on it afforded. He was out in a minute.

Sarah stood by Deader waiting for him to move first.
 
“Now it’s a time for rest.” Deader went over the bed and laid down as he smothered his face with a pillow. “We’ll rest for a few hours before heading out.”
 
Sarah sat down in a meditative position on the bed nearest Deader, it was unclear if she was actually sleeping there or something else.

Jax awoke after only about only a few hours, he then made his way to the secured dock and did some fishing. In the dim light of the early day he sat enjoying the calm brought by the secured dock. He hadn't felt this kind of security in quite a time.
 
As a few hours passed, Deader woke up and did little bit of stretching. He turned over to Sarah and waved his hand across her face. "Is this girl sleeping... or? Actually... better not bother her." Deader thought to himself. He notice that Jax wasn't in his bed, so he went out to look for him.

As he venture out, the community felt... different from the previous areas they traveled through. "Can't believe that outside of this community, the island had done into shit." Deader said. "I need to finished my mission as quick as possible, so I can sort all this out with the Heroes Organization..." He thought to himself as he made his way to the docks; however, the man wasn't paying attention to where he was walking, and was about to fall into the water.
