OOC: Nice job with the walk-through!
Nils nods a few times, his eyes a little glazed over from the weed, but there's a genuine excitement in there somewhere. "Cool. We were just about to eat... You got any gardening tools?"
Roark chimes in quickly…
She waits for you to get to your feet, check out the McDonalds, and meet her by the street. There were no cans in the McDonalds... They liked those cheap cups that dissolved into nothingness all those years ago. As you approach her, she says, "There…
Clarification: "the scrap guy" is the leader of the people who came and left earlier. They're due back in a few hours.
Ford hems and haws when you ask about settling up after the job. "I know you're good for it, but we gotta make a run out to Goawa…
OOC: Fine by me.
Matilda is more than happy to accept the 2-barter for the truck, and sets off to tell the crew what's going down. She mentioned, before you left, that she'd keep the truck parked outside the Garage from now on, if you wanted to pok…
Still, she seems bothered – like she might agree with you that Hugo's possessive nature is more harmful than good. She bites her lip, and adds, "clean out what you can... One of Hugo's scouts will find it eventually, so it won't be there long... If …
Sun shakes her head, "you can't hide anything from Hugo..."
Well Thirds, you did give her those arrows back... That gesture could probably be seen as leverage. Why not manipulate her to see if she'll let you slide this time.
She looks a little surprised when you correct yourself, mumbling down at your feet. She sighs, like she's disappointed in something. She looks over at the arrows, and snatches them. Quickly tossing them into a quiver slung over her shoulder. She mak…
Apologies fall short with Goaway, especially when it comes to people who garner the attention of her boys — but she hasn't complained yet, right? Jealousy can get nasty, but so far it's just a bitter taste in her mouth. She dives back into her work …
She stops, and turns around... It's not exactly the offer she was hoping for, but the prospect of staying in business, and having you with a vested interest in her success is pretty close to par. She bites her lip, and considers it a moment before a…
Sun shifts uncomfortably when you joke about the arrows being fletched to miss — like you insulted her craft — but she doesn't comment on it when she sees your smile gone. It's more an awkwardness than an actual hurt, but you can tell from the arrow…
Ford laughs and takes another swig of his beer. Dodge playfully pitches a lugnut at his feet, then answers, "had a rush job come in the other day... Big-ass truck, loaded with scrap, blew a couple tubes. Turns out ol' Neon had some compatible parts,…
As dangerous as it may be to be tailed by Sun, she's definitely not threatening you right now – and you don't sense that she'd be followed. Unless of course you're saying you're charging the situation... Doesn't sound like it though.
She cocks an e…
Robinson's .380 pistol peppers the armco and cinderblock wall as he dashes out into danger to collect Clarity. Rue lobs her grenade high into the air, and it barely has time to touch the concrete roof before there's a loud BANG that fills the air. S…
Rue, let's be explicit here... Are you cooking it off, so he gets a face-full of frag the second it lands in front of him? Are you aiming to distract/scare him, so you can extract Clarity?
It takes a few minutes for Sun to get the hint, but eventually you spot someone hopping down from a nearby car dealership roof across the road. She's keeping a close eye on you, slowly crossing the street, and stopping a few paces from your table.
…
Matilda's face crumples in disappointment, and she crosses her arms defensively at your jab at being stranded. Sure, it's true — but she doesn't like being reminded of her shortcomings. "I'm sure Big Ed will love his new job as cart puller. Thanks f…
Rue, The sniper calls back, "pretty boy here is mine now. You want him back, you lay down your guns where I can see them, and keep that Jeep back. Then we'll talk. Do anything twitchy, and I'm putting pretty boy down."
Cinch, Thirds, you're about 5…
Rue, I'll tell you how Clarity is doing... Not fantastically. He seems entirely engrossed in something... You probably recognize the sensation from when Jones would toy with people.
Clarity, the psychic maelstrom is a bumbling, ever present cacopho…
Cinch and Thirds, the woman is slowly getting up, and inching back away from the corner you're about to turn. When you round the corner again, you see Clarity stumbling forward for cover, and Rue screaming up at someone on the roof of the Cabelas st…
Matilda looks over at her truck, then back to you, "not many trucks that size that still work out there in the world... I know Hugo down south has one or two, but he don't exactly share, you know? Most of the rest are rusted to the ground. H is the …
Robinson, Rue, and Clarity, Clarity bolts off, using the same zig-zagging path he took when running up to Balls in the woods a few weeks ago... Sadly, Robinson's call about this being a killzone was bang-on the money. The gun, which was relatively m…
Robinson, Clarity, Rue, As you move up together, you notice that a lot of the area surrounding the Cabelas has been cleared of wreckage. There's a good 20 yards of empty space leading up to it, where you'll occasionally see a blood stain on the pave…
Matilda motions for the boys to offload everything where you showed her, and after a few minutes of heavy lifting, they've dumped the material off. Their truck, as you might have guessed, looks like shit. Even with the repairs Thirds managed, you ca…
I'm sure someone who's sucking down juice like a toddler in the summer heat would be willing to fork over some produce — you'll have to take it up with them though. After a few minutes, Matilda's truck comes rumbling up the road to the workshop, and…
OOC: No help for Rue? Ok.
Rue, the firefight is short, and intense. At first, it's a game of cat and mouse where you'll pop up with Shelly and lay down a few shots, where he'll answer with a shot back. You're pretty sure you saw the glint of the su…
Thirds, the girl spins around in shock, and you can see her face go pale — likely from moving too quickly. She steadies herself, her gun still shaking as she points it at you now. "Never heard of him."
Cinch, she looks over to you, uncertain, when …
Rue, Based on the direction of the gunshots, the way the bullets are hitting the wall, and the fact that the shooter can't get a clear shot off on you, you've figured out that he must be in one of the box stores to the south — likely on one of the r…
I can understand how a wizard wouldn't want to be troubled with menial work. Of course your food stash is starting to get a little low, but such is the price for the potential to brew quality beverages, and keeping the town powered! You're coming ba…
