The Order Headquarters looked almost exactly as it had back when it was in use. Those were fond memories. Few of them had taken the option of rejoining here, but that was to be expected. People had lives to live and duties to see to. Jaren herself had accepted because, even though she was in support of Liberamach and proud to be a member, the Order was what had sustained her in her early years. Three floors of 30 rooms divided between five meant for a lot of space. The safe zone extended around the hotel itself- though she supposed if people were in desperate need of sunlight, they could make a movement to expand it out a bit.
For however long this lasted, it would be Jaren and four Weasleys. That was alright. She got along with most people, and all of them had been allies back in the day. It only made sense to come together again now. They gathered in the lobby and she gave a small smile.
"It's good to see you all again, Weasley's. Ron, you and Eliza did a nice job on the place," she addressed the group at large, then, "Before everything was locked down, I scoped out the area a bit. There's a muggle marketplace not far from here where we can pick up supplies as needed. If we go out one or two at a time and don't use magic while we're out, we should be just fine. Otherwise, I think everything we need should be here. I hope you've all got your owls ready. I think we might be in for a long stay."
They were all adults, and all fairly like-minded. Their stay together likely wouldn't be very bad at all.
"I've gone ahead and claimed two of the rooms down the hall here on the first floor. One I'm using as a workspace and the other as living quarters. I did also bring a very large selection of books, if you'd like to borrow some."

Seeing as they are all able-bodied and there's a small group of them, they'll likely be able to function fairly well just living together as a group. This entails occasional supply runs while others maintain the barrier, ensuring everything stays clean, cooking, and so on.
Katrina stood in the lobby of Order HQ listening to what Jaren had to say. She hadn't been in this old hotel since the order was last active, it felt like home as much as Hogwarts had. For obvious reasons Kat was a little nervous about the lockdown since she'd be separated from the rest of her in laws except for George, the school age Weasleys and her adopted kids who were at Hogwarts. She and Fred brought their under age kids to the Safe Zone since it was the only safe place to bring them obviously. Neither of the twins were old enough for school yet, though Andrew who was 10 years old would be starting Hogwarts next term. Hopefully by then this mysterious threat will have been dealt with and she wouldn't have to worry about her first born when he was ready for school.
At least she would be able to spend the lockdown with her brother in law Ron and Victoire. Katrina also hadn't seen Jaren since the Order was last active. "Fred and I can do the first supply run if needed. I can also clean and cook. " she volunteered. Cleaning and Cooking around the hotel would be much like what she did at home. It also helped having a mother in law that loved to cook so she's picked up a few recipes from Molly Weasley over the years.
ooc: lol, I'm not going to NPC Fred since I don't know if I'd be good at it but just know that he's there, will pull his weight around the hotel and do mail orders with his wife for WWW. Of all the times not to have him as an actual on site character so Katrina can actually thread with him during this plotline. George would be here too but no one's playing him.

Being in a lockdown was scary but at least she was with some family members. "That would be nice, thanks," Victoire said when the woman said they were welcome to borrow her books. It went without saying that she could help cook and clean. She would also be helping her aunt and uncle with the business since she was employed by them. She had never met Jaren Rhodes before, as far as Vic could remember but she seemed nice. She hoped that Xavier would be all right and she made a mental note to write to him.
Ron was busy writing an owl to Hermione as the meeting began down in the lobby.
Sure! Quarantining was hard but to be away from his wife for the term was pretty hard. He did not know what to feel about it but had quietly accepted the fact that his wife had to be at the Holt's Castle for the job. Quietly walking down the stairs Ron caught Jarden's speech and nodded in acceptance. The Order HQ was a comfortable fit for the few that returned to stay out here!
"Alright! Now that we have established that we wouldn't be poisoned by my cooking, what is everyone's plan for the night? I was hoping to catch a talk on the Wizarding Wireless Network!" he asked.
Unemployment was still a new concept for Ron and he had no idea how to deal with it. All throughout his life, he had never had an opportunity to sit down and relax. Quiet honestly Ron had expected to go down fighting one day, thanks to his life decisions, that he had never thought of a life of retirement or calm!
Well, that settled that. With the Weasley couple making the first run when the time came, they wouldn't have to worry about making those arrangements. Excellent. She inclined her head to Victoire when the younger woman thanked her. Honestly, she was planning on spending this lockdown reading and sketching. Which wasn't so different from what she usually did. The joys of being a natural introvert, she supposed.
When Ron made his suggestion, she gave a smile.
"That might be nice! I didn't actually have any plans, so I think I'll join you."
Katrina smiled when Ronald arrived. It was nice that she was able to spend the lockdown with two of her brothers in lew and Victoire, her niece. It would've been nice if all of the Weasleys could've stayed together but Kat knew that was not possible because everyone had different jobs and some of the Weasleys were still in school. Kat laughed when Ron made a comment about everyone not wanting to be poisoned by his cooking. "How is it possible that you're so hopeless in the kitchen? Your mother is a great cook. " she said.
When Ron asked what everyone's plans were Katrina shrugged. "I'll try to catch some of it when I'm not cooking. What's the talk about?" she asked. The WWN was their only connection to the outside world at this point. Maybe they'd receive news about the threat that way too once the Ministry reached out to the media if they had anything of importance to share. It was extremely frustrating that at this point the Ministry didn't know a damn thing about what was causing the deaths. She had never heard of a threat that was so vague and mysterious, that it seemed like there was no rhyme or reason to magical folk being targeted.
