  • Hugo stares at you for a while, his piercing eyes watching you carefully. He's got a big silver revolver hitched to his thigh that you gather sees quite a bit of action. It must get the level of attention Rue gives her guns, based on look alone. He …
  • You step outside to find a big, bearded man the size of a bear waiting for you. It's been a long time since you've seen someone as well fed as this – let alone someone as built as he is. Checkers swallows hard, and stops just outside the doorway. T…
  • You can tell you just hit Shan's sweet spot. He puffs out his chest, and rests his shotgun on his shoulder as he walks and talks. "Well, Rue, I tell ya I seen canyons so wide 'n high you could fit entire ruins in 'em. I seen mountains so tall they g…
  • Prim holds his hands up in defense, "I ain't sayin' they did nothin' Rue... Just sayin' they're new here, and new folks don't always follow the rules, y'know? Harrow 'n that Foster fellow are both out scavin'. They left last night, and they ain't co…
  • Shan nods to Prim when he's introduced, but Prim doesn't give it much thought. You can tell he's not exactly sure he believes Shan didn't take Doghead's crap, but he doesn't question you. "Folks know not to take each other's shit 'round here, Rue...…
  • Checkers cleans up, and sorts himself out as quickly and privately as you permit him to. Once he's zipped up, he opts to leave the bucket in the toilet — no sense in cleaning up a place you're not going to be staying at for long. Do you let him have…
  • "I'm Checkers," the boy replies, still cautious around Joy. "Those folks were dead when we got here. They didn't look beat up or nothing, so we just let 'em be. Buddy of mine told me there was scrap metal here, so I told Hugo about it... He said if …
  • Shan still looks unconvinced, but he shakes his head and says, "I suppose havin' one over that asshole might make me feel a little better. Fine. Let's go chat with your man Prim." Prim followed you back to the crowd, and turns to meet you when you …
  • Shan's face puckers into a sour note, "If it's all the same, I'd just as soon not help that horse's ass. If he's like that with all folks, I don't know why you people suffer him." He sighs loudly and looks around... Good spots are kind of hard to co…
  • Well Rue, Shan's got the body of a man who's walked well over a thousand miles in recent history, and his words come out with the practiced fluidity of someone who either explains himself a lot, or lies through his teeth. As far as you can tell, tho…
  • Doghead is pissed as all get-out, but he makes his way over to the shack, cursing up a storm. Nobody speaks up in Shan's defense. In fact, most people are looking down at their feet, or away from you when you ask... Shan looks over to you and nods…
  • The guy on the toilet can't be more than 16, Clarity, and he's certainly filled with piss and vinegar — but shit, not so much anymore. He throws his hands up slowly, and shakes his head, "Hey man... I don't want no trouble. I'm one of Hugo's boys. T…
  • Why don't you give me a Go Aggro Towering Presence to have him surrender, Clarity?
  • Doghead looks like he's going to curse you up and down when you tell him to shut up and let you work, but then you promise to get his shit back. Why don't you give me a manipulate to see if he'll go cool his heels inside? Either way, you leave him …
  • All in all, that's probably the same amount of work. Still a few hours, but definitely not a few days — and all the parts necessary to do that would be off the shelf. Concealing it will take a bit of sewing — so if for some odd reason you're not com…
  • The night passes without any further incidents beyond a minor scare when Big Ed thinks he spots something by some trashcans... Turned out to be a raccoon. The next day, you all load back into the truck, and finish the slow trip back to Monroe... The…
  • Matilda nods and motions for you to join her in the truck. If you have no objections, they'll ride up to your campsite, and set up for the night. What's your nightly ritual like? Do you camp with these folks, or find a place for yourself?
  • The bathroom appears empty at first glance, but then the smell overwhelms you — fresh shit. It fills your nostrils just as you spot the pair of boots under one of the stalls. There's no plumbing, but people who camp in places like this often have a …
  • The new guy takes one look at you, and sees what's up, but Doghead looks as furious and disrespectful as always. "Nobody fuggin' called you out here! This is my fuggin' business! Ain't none of yours! I caught this fugger in my shack, his bag open, r…
  • Corbett glances over your shoulder as you get to work at your bench, but he doesn't linger. "I'd expect my sister's workin' that out now... If we can't find a place of our own, we'll pitch camp under that old bridge by the lake. I'll let you know if…
  • The inside of the building was recently turned into a makeshift camp. Most of the entry points have been boarded up with rotting plywood. There's a third body inside, cradling itself on the bed. Just as dead as the rest. There are some supplies here…
  • Thirds, sounds like you're a little fond of Sun... I might be imagining things though. Matilda and Mimi watch you carefully as you scour the place for traps, clearing it out to make it safe... It takes you a good 20 minutes to clear the place up ent…
  • The squabble's happening exactly where you'd expect it, outside Doghead's little shack to the north of the church. You can hear people screaming at each other from down the road, and a small crowd's formed with some folks trying to calm the pair dow…
  • You spot it lying limp against one of the buses as you make your approach to the building. A corpse, already grey and decaying... At least a few weeks old. Then another leaning against the brick wall ahead. Looks like they came in together. There ar…
  • Corbett watches you dubiously as you pour him a cup of coffee, but he accepts it and follows your lead. "Sis said most of the parts are standard fare electronics — at least the parts that don't work no more. If there's somethin' specific you need th…
  • Wisher's a little lost when you compliment Clarity, and only comes back down to earth when you tease her to ask him about whatever's on her mind. She shakes her head bashfully. "Naw... I mean, he is kinda special. Grampa Bill likes talkin' about mak…
  • Prim stops running when you turn to meet him, and catches his breath. He's not heavy or anything, but not eating right has definitely taken its toll on him. He starts walking with you, talking. "Fuckin' Doghead, Rue... He says he caught this new guy…
  • The figure leaps over a huge AC unit, and drops down off the far edge of the rooftops into unknown territory. They're gone... Whoever they were. A quick survey of the area didn't reveal much in the way of personal effects, but you certainly find th…
  • Robinson, fair enough. Corbett, as you can imagine, isn't the brightest crayon in the box, but he's eager to get this deal done. He even seems to respect your professionalism and intelligence, even if he can't match it. Out of curiosity, what's the…
  • You know, Clarity, It's entirely too quiet out here, and you're being cautious — why don't you read the sitch for me?
