The sun feels warm, pleasantly warm after the chill of night. I crane my neck a bit to turn my head a little bit towards her, so we can just barely see each other's faces. I speak in an urgent-sounding whisper. "I do... Sierra, but you gotta... yo…
-
Not going to interrupt, but it doesn't feel right. Sierra knows... hundred percent she knows about DVFP, what it is... what's behind the scenes. She hasn't had her memory spilled like most... that might be even more cruel. Some day, when we're both …
-
If she could see my face as she talks she'd see a little confusion. I thought Sierra had... feelings for Reese herself. Maybe it's not like that. But is she blaming herself? "What?" I finally turn to face her. "Reese's crew got slammed by raiders v…
-
"Yeah," I answer, the question breaking the silence we seem to usually share. Stay seated for the moment as she lays back beside me. I've been carefully watching the movements of Ziggy's people at the roadblock, chances are I'm going to have to run …
-
I smile back with a genuine smile, "at least," I answer and gently tap-tap a balled up hand on his chest to return the gesture. I know I'm not the only one had a taxing day... can't wait to hear the story. "Well come on!" I hustle past him and into…

A Esco looks over I straighten, but his offer of a drink lets me relax, and he can see my shoulders slouch slightly and my "on the job" expression melts into a near-smile. "That... is the best idea ever," I wave to Winkle and Rufe as they go with …
-
All I can do is meet his eye give him a confident nod, I silently mouth the words, "it's ok," and listen. Finally though, I have a second of peace... what the hell actually happened? Borax bus got nuked by raiders... who? I should have asked Reese …
-
Don't look like i'm listening to that conversation, but I am. I'm pretty good at looking disinterested... part of the courier thing. Take good and bad, weird and disturbing all in stride. Just do the job. But I take it all in. I had taken a moment …
-
"Yeah... I got a lot goin' on today but... yeah. Go," a quick nod to Sierra, she needs to see her friend. Let him know she's there. I get that. I'm thankful for that.Took me a moment to realize where she means. But I get it, I'll be there. I take a…
-
I stand there in what should be the delightful cool of the mines, clothing damp from the burn starting to feel chill down my back. Does Sierra know Reese? Pretty sure I've seem them together now and again. I step over nearer Sierra and give her th…
-
It's pretty hard not to notice the atmosphere. Everyone's edgy and weapons... yeah more than usual. Wonder if the bus has something to do with it. I must look a sight, helmet low on my head, little bloody up to the elbows and escorting, as best I c…
-
"Wouldn't say we're best buds but... Yeah. I can make introductions." I secure my ride, the whole cabin I'd a mess but.... later. And I've got more than a little blood on me. I start walking, "Esco ain't what you'd call.. Nice. But you do for…
-
Was gonna stop Rufe but hell I need the help. Thank her quietly after Reese is in the back. And drive... smooth... if that's something possible to even do up to the Irons. My personal stash stuffed in the back with the aux tanks and the small cargo…
-
So The Irons is his best chance? That's where we're going anyway. At least that's something. "Ok, one sec," I stand and scan the area once over just to make sure nobody's aiming up on us, then hurry over to the car, code the door and slide in. "Wi…
-
I don't hesitate. Glad to see someone alive, but... damn the state he's in. "Reese!" I hurry over, still not entirely sure the bandit's are gone so I keep my head down. But I holster my sidearm and crouch down where he can see me. "I gotcha, bud...…
-
Sickens me, seeing this. Just... ok nobody's a saint and pretty much everyone's had to to some things they ain't proud of but... these guys were just working out here and then what? A deal gone bad? Someone was chasing them? Or they chasing someone?…
-
Damn. I want to stop, get out, check this out, but... this place has been it hard and... I should just go. But wait... how many crew were here with Taff? Two gunners... the fella with the crossbow... regret that I can't think of his name but I think…
-
"The hell happened here?" I say in a hush under my breath. I slow, windows sealed and secure, and cruise close to get a good look for survivors... and yeah ok I'm not above taking salvage when I can get my hands on it. Some day this is... The tire…
-
If it weren't for his mother's injuries, this would actually be kind of nice. I keep an eye on them as we go but as always, the main this is keeping alert on the road. The scorch, by now, should be cooling a bit and there may be a few wheels out on…
-
Juju. Someone didn't make it. Father? Maybe. I don't ask. I gently interrupt, "Hey... Winkle. You went through that and you're gonna be ok... they are like monsters, but they're just people... scary, hungry, lonely people. But wow, you are one toug…
-
How to say this to a kid. I take a long moment in thought, watching the road and watching his momma, injured, sleep next to me in that seat. I wipe sweat from my temple with the back of my hand. "They took what they want from you," I say sadly, "be…
-
I take the bar he offers and wait a moment until his attention's on his own, then slip it into the pocket of Rufe's vest with a gentle pat. I enjoy (a little) watching him try to open the thing. It's surprisingly hard if you don't know to tear at t…
-
I almost laugh, the duffel is pretty much full of my clothes, socks, underwear, and a few personal items. It's a reminder of who I was, though... emblazoned with the FPS logo and part of the kit I was assigned when I took the job at DVFP. Seeing hi…
-
Considering my passengers, I take it easy. Don't look back at the snakes until we're safely underway, either. Wish they had a better way. I take off my helmet and sit it on the center armrest where it doesn't quite fit. "Diamond?" Yeah. She could p…
-
Yeah. She's smart. Don't look back. "Winkle, you're a tough kid... snakes bite sometimes. Ain't your fault... you did right staying cool... keep alive that way." she was carrying him? In her condition. I'll gently take him from her as I talk, if she…
-
Was holding my breath. I let it out and raise my goggles before I nudge the door shut behind me. Then take a step or two and wave to get her attention before hurrying over to try and help. "Hey... I call, a loud hushed whisper so as not to antagon…

[CINCH] Manipulating Sight-of-Day (hot+1) xp(3) (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 6, 5. Total: 12)
-
That worries me. I try not to show it too much, but I hiss a little through my teeth in apprehension. I try again to identify the car, but... maybe too far gone. I match Sight-of-Day's lowered tone. "They're no good to you like this, are they? Sig…
-
I roll slowly over, tires crunching on the sand and salty-crusted earth. I eye that car as i near, trying to place it... looking for decoration, regalia... or signs of someone I might have known. I keep my window down and my left hand open and visi…

"Sand-snakes?" I slow and and turn down the music, lower my goggles to help fight the glare and see what we've got here. - - - The sand snakes are a primitive-living group of more or less related families living wild out in the sand. Their lore sa…
