A suitably enigmatic person might evade that question, but Spencer just grimaces, giving the answer away before he even says anything. Yes, like any small society, the Forty-Eight has problems, and he sees no real need to keep them hidden. If Daryl's group are joining them, they're ultimately doing the Forty-Eight a big favor.

"The head of security, Roscoe? He's kind of judgemental," Spencer admits. "Charlie normally keeps him in line, but he'll be watching all of you pretty carefully for the next few months. Unless you bribe him with alcohol, then he'll be your best friend."

Hmm. Feuds within the Forty-Eight. There's a lot of small ones, obviously. The people three doors down from Spencer have just recently broken up and hate each other over it. There's arguments over workload, and people cheating on their relationships, and their resident imam is continually being harassed by a guy that's bitter over losing his faith. There's some people that have taken issue with Spencer, thinking he's not suitable to be second in command.

"There's a doomsday prepper in the red barn in the south that you'll probably want to avoid," he continues thoughtfully. "There's also some people who aren't happy with us letting in new people, so you might get some suspicious stares for a while -- nobody that's really gotten really mad about it, but just to be safe, I'd stick close to each other for now. This is a relatively safe community, but you can never tell what might set some people off."
