Meadow Lark (party)

Meadow Lark is a party name in the interface and an eldercare facility in Wenatchee in the world: 250 residents evacuated by a fire Agatha set, about half pulled into the dungeon's warm ramp, thirty-eight at the borough boss's gate, the four workers and Agatha among them (ch. 22). The ones in the Waffle House safe room, which holds thirty, vote not to come out (ch. 22); twenty-four stay behind, singing, when the floor collapses (ch. 31). The Royal Court fights beside them without joining them: the Ball of Swine (ch. 26), the descent, the grub trap, the train (ch. 37), the Rage Elemental (ch. 38), the people buckets down the ramp (ch. 41). Zev calls it a storyline that plays great with most viewers and is 'dead weight' to twenty per cent of a focus group. Carl never settles whether keeping them alive was a kindness.

Scattered by the floor's random placement and heard from once (ch. 8); one of its residents makes the leaderboard (epilogue).

Twenty left, transformed — a Frost Maiden, a butterfly, a muscle man who throws frozen heads (ch. 8, ch. 13). They scout a Pooka den and a robot room (ch. 12, ch. 16), ride the conveyor into Yard D (ch. 19), hold station 36 with flamethrowers for the last two days (ch. 31), and wait at the open stairwell until Carl comes (ch. 34). Brandon and Henry died for the escape; Chris left with men who died and he did not; Agatha, who burned them out, goes down the ramp ahead of them again.

Twenty in a sea quadrant with a fish-rowed galley and an oil rig to take (ch. 5); forced down the stairs by a turkey god except for Imani and Elle (ch. 33). To Imani, Chris is 'the only non-resident left' (ch. 10) until the worm comes out of him (ch. 34).

Katia's destination (ch. 3), waited for in a bar (ch. 7); Team Meadowlark controls Safehome Yolanda, the guild the Royal Court joins (ch. 21). Its remnants go down the stairs in the last town before the border (ch. 63).

The Meadowlark folks have not yet been told about the crown (ch. 19); Carl thinks of its staff, Chris and Brandon and Yolanda (ch. 50); Imani's squad of former residents dies in a single moment getting the ninth token (ch. 52); the party numbers over twenty, a few Meadowlark crawlers among them, and the whole Meadowlark party can go where Elle's squad went (ch. 63); Agatha sleeps behind the kitchens of the Meadowlark Elder Care facility, where the brothers work late (epilogue).

The saferoom where two crest with purple dots wait, and where Carl learns fifty thousand have come (ch. 11).

Stories keep the town: Imani's, that Ingrid Schmidt cheated at bingo (ch. 37); Elle's, Francine Herrada and the knitting needle (ch. 68); Linus's, that Elle had Barry's Creedence albums in her room there (ch. 16). Grigori's hired-by line reads 'Team Meadow Lark' (ch. 54), and Chris fights the last heat in his Meadow Lark overalls (ch. 84).
