The twang of the bow is low, like one of those old electric bass guitars you've probably seen in the city. The arrow sails through the air, and you probably spot Bill and Wisher smirking to themselves when they see the arrow go wide from the hay bal…
Rue, there's some hog waiting for you when you finally get back to the fire. I noticed you locked up your room — is theft around here a big problem? Or is it mostly just kids being kids/the occasional passer-through getting a little too drunk and ru…
The sun starts setting behind the buildings on the horizon when the truck finally lurches back to life. It sounds like shit, and you don't know exactly how much longer it'll run on its own — but it is running, and other than the obscene amount of we…
Cinch, Wisher looks up at you, biting her lower lip, when you ask her what you should shoot for... The question caught her off guard. She looks around for a second before weakly muttering, "uh... That."
She points to the treeline, and you spot a co…
Robinson & Rue, go here.
Thirds, Big Ed pauses a second when you ask for his belt, answering, "You think I'm gunna run 'round with my pants down by my fuckin' ankles? Shit son! Fuck no! Mimi, go check the fuckin' boxes for somethin' leathery."
…
Clarity, Bill is partly telling the truth... He definitely set up camp here to be more visible, but you can tell by the state of the barricade that they've had a few people try and run it... You get the impression if he's asking people for hand outs…
Clarity, Bill stops and scratches at his moustache before turning and answering you. "We get the occasional traveler through the roads. Deer sometimes follow along the pavement. We figured if we made ourselves visible, we might get some more traffic…
Cinch, Wisher smirks to herself when you compliment her work, but she still doesn't answer. You sense that she would probably chat with you if Bill wasn't around. Bill seems pleased that you're resolved to help them find more food. Once the food's b…
Robinson, there's a lot wrong with this truck. It's been neglected for a long, long time, and it's in need of more than some minor repairs — and that was before the crash. Now, there's a busted fan-belt that'll need replacing, the radiator is bent, …
Robinson, Matilda nods in agreement, and motions for everyone to get to work, leaving you to your business.
Thirds, then Matilda nods to you, and motions for you to follow her over to the truck. She seems anxious to get going.
What do you do?
Bill's a little thrown off when Clarity speaks — the cadence of Clarity's voice probably isn't something he's used to — but he takes it in stride, and nods in what appears to be calculated agreement. He takes a fig from the bag, and his lip quivers …
Thirds, Matilda considers your offer for a bit and says, "deal. Mimi, Big Ed and me will stay behind and watch your back. Lemme see if Rob will take back some of our scav."
Robinson, Matilda turns to you after a moment and and says, "H here will pa…
Rue, Mimi narrows his eyes at you. As if it could be any less obvious that he doesn't like you.
Thirds, Matilda's mostly watching Robinson, but your comment has her attention... She breaks eye contact with him long enough to answer, "yeah? How quic…
Bill pauses a moment as you demonstrate the bag is good, and ask if this is his whole group. He looks down at the bag of food, the sweet smell of the figs hits his nostrils and you see his mustache twitch. "This is most of us," he answers, almost on…
Robinson, Mimi doesn't like that answer — in fact, he looks nervous about it. He grunts back, "so you get a big-ass truck with some ... Izat a water heater? You get a water heater, and we've gotta leave all our shit out here for some other fuckin' s…
Bill raises an eyebrow when he spots the bag of food, and you can see his cohorts all take an eager step forward at the sight of it. There's desperation in their eyes. Bill pauses a moment before smirking approvingly. "Guess it's that obvious we're …
Clarity, Bill's got the look of a man who's not only been starving, but has been starving with family for quite some time. You can practically sense his next question before he'll even ask it: "Got any food?"
What he does depends on how you answer …
Bill nods silently when you tell him where you're from, and looks on down the road. He does shake your hand though. "Cinch, huh? Good to meet you, Cinch. Never heard of Monroe... Seen the six a few times though, when the 'nomalies ran us out of here…
Robinson, As it just so happens, that brick you threw wavered only slightly in flight... like a basketball player hanging unnaturally long in the air during a shot. There's obviously something here, but it's not an immediate danger to you.
All, Mim…
The gunshots echo through the streets in quick succession, and Mimi stops hard, pulling back away from the ricochets, screaming, "Holy fuck!" He holds his hands up, nice and slow, and his buddies follow suit. "Hey, man! We're just fuckin' tryin' to …
The big guy paces in front of your car as you slow to a stop. He's brushing his big, bushy, salt and pepper mustache, and eyeing you in his peripheral. When you stop, the two young men step into the gap in the blockade behind him, eyeing you hungril…
Thirds, there are five of them — well, four if you don't count the bloodied man twitching on the pavement, but he's not really moving much — and you know that anyone in the city is carrying a weapon. They don't have it out and showing, but that just…
Robinson, et al: just as your device starts getting a real reading, the noise in the distance becomes clear... A huge yellow box truck comes careening around the corner at top speed just to the east of you. You watch as it lifts off the inner wheels…
Funny you should ask... As you pull up to the smoke, you see that it's a big pit in the median filled with tires, wood, and whatever the hell else could be found. On either side of the median are a bunch of logs piled up on each other to form a bloc…
Robinson, I suppose that depends. Are you trying to learn something about the anomaly? Or figure out how to navigate this situation? If it's the former, open your brain. If it's the latter, read a sitch.
Rue, you can hear something in the distance.…

Alright folks! These are awesome answers! I'm already getting a good impression of the world, and the things that interest you! To confirm, this is what I've got for Hx so far:
