  • Gates, It's a short walk to Golden Age. The place is empty as you left it, but a load of rotted lumber and rubbish has been discarded outside the doorways, leaving you to clamber over or spend some time clearing the way. It's pleasantly quiet here,…
  • Gates, Ghost takes a deep breath, Jones sticks around to help and as you go to find QuePasa they're laying Troll down on his belly so she can get to his wound. As you leave she promises, "I won't let you down, Brother. Bon showed me what do." She h…
  • Gates, All right, Gates. You know, the enemy isn't standing before you, but you've just been speaking with the Lord, in a way, and that feeling still hangs around you. Brother Troll looks into your eyes and you feel his fear. He ran for his life, t…
  • Gates, You settle Troll down behind the stall on the little workbench covered in bits of wood wastings. Ghost clears is with a sweep of her sleeve as you help lower him to sit. "He said some-a the old scavs out there could give us a better deal... …
  • Gates, Ghost smiles at you as you take her hand, a sure sign of closeness and belonging. Jones lowers his eyes and silently joins you in prayer. --- The sounds and smells of the market fade as you concentrate and reflect. You're right, it has bee…
  • August & Valentine You shoot across the water towards the lighthouse and it's rocky shore. There's flattish places here and there where you can make land, but there's really not a way to ride up there without going some distance around. Best wa…
  • Bon & Dog, Watauga steps off. He got a bit of the grease, too, but not nearly as bad and his heavy rubber boots took most of the heat. He slides off the back, "you'll be ok, Bon... when we find the others, I uh... I uh..." He shuts up and gets …
  • August The biggest threat to you is the ship and it's crew. You catch glimpses of the lighthouse and it's not like crawling with troops or something. More like some scavengers setting up a camp for a few days while they raid a rich find. So if you'r…
  • Valentine & August, Sorry to leave you hanging so long. Wasn't sure if your conversation is ongoing. Will move forward and you can talk more, or not. The morning light grows as you talk and at least now you can start to see, even though you rem…
  • Bon & Dog, For the moment, the Tax Patrol gang is busy with their burning camp and their wounded. Seems like there won't be a pursuit, at least for a while. "You ain't bleedin' worth it!" shouts someone after you as you glide up and over the …
  • Bon & Dog, The Tax Patrol gang has chosen: 1-hold to provide covering fire. 1-hold to take a personal action. (Fire the heavy weapon at Bon's bike) The sound of Dog's gun breaks the moment of stunned surpriase as you burst through the woods and…
  • Dog, The move is copied below. Please pick two before we see how the fight goes down. I'm secretly picking two as well (Will share with Rich) as the choices are made blind. Read them with care. The tax patrol present is fighting as a small gang. We…
  • Both Just FYI you're about a mile, mile and a half out from the lighthouse. Through a copse of dead trees, ahead, and up a hill past some old industrial ruin. You're also not right up against the water here, but turn left and it's not far. Also thr…
  • Dog & Bon The gang hits the road and turns North. Best way there is to follow the known route to Pike, then blow past and follow the trade highway through the city. Peel off left at some point and follow the old residentials through the rot to w…
  • Gates, Vignette stirred up the Pike gang big time. Everyone still jockeying for position, trying to make themselves known to her. This guy, known as Wash, would probably love to bring in a pair of conspirators to her and take credit and if you make …
  • WotCee gazes at you, deep in thought. He's smart, a smart kid you'd say but he's growing fast. Spending more time away from home. He's right there between needing someone like his mom... or you to show him the path. And deciding on his own. "How ca…
  • Valentine & August, You can just see the lighthouse to the right, a mile or two up the curving coastline on a little prominent point of rock. It's a black silhouette on the dull horizon, a few dim, distant lamplights burn on and around the stru…
  • Valentine, Please go here.
  • Valentine, Suddenly darkness. All around a deep unexplained darkness of night. For a moment it's like the lights went out at SafeCo... but the hard floor is suddenly gone and beneath your feet is soft, rough and slightly crunchy like a crust. W…
  • August, Your song radiates out across the quiet blood sea, your voice sounding strange through the filters of your mask, but still your voice is true and strong. Dog is out there, right? Did she get your message? Understand your meaning? She could…
  • Gates, WotCee is here to find a way to Vignette. Pretty much trying to work himself up in confidence and knowledge to be able to kill his father's murderer who now rules his mother's town. He wants you to get out of his way and stop wasting his time…
  • Evergreen's eyes light up as she stares at you with big eyes and nods 'yes'. She settles into her seat with a little wiggle of excitement. One of the servers brings over another plate, some sweet bread which they say used to go with coffee. Made wi…
  • August, So time passes. The ship breaks a brief visit to port and heads into open water. Before long Watauga says his goodbyes and is tendered to a sheltered area a klick or two from SafeCo so he can deliver your message. You overhear the captain …
  • Ok August. You've got some time on this ship while they head for a place to tender Watauga to shore. Seems like the captain is going to get closer to you. But do you have a plan here or just biding your time? We can probably skip some time as Watau…
  • The girl devoured her savory meal so quickly that she's kind of left there looking at the plate. She picks it up and licks it a couple times so as not to waste a bit of juice or rare grain of salt. She glances up at you as you watch her eat. "What?…
  • Evergreen just shakes her head, "soon, that's all I know. Since the spiderr lady took over he gets madder and madder!" Have a read question?
  • That 'thum-thrum' sound is everywhere as you pleasure yourself alone below decks. The sound, the vibration of the ship, the leaning this way and that in the blood sea. The creaking of the ship and the calls of men above decks shouting and taking ord…
  • Evergreen nods and smiles like she knows a secret and for a second it looks like she's going to make you press her. But then Needle sets a small plate of food on the table between you. Evergreen doesn't hesitate. She takes a handfull of sliced toma…
  • Watauga clasps a hand on your shoulder for a moment as you agree. Then walks with you to the hatch until you're safely belowdecks. "Get some rest." Before long you've removed the breather and find yourself alone in the hall. You know there's crew d…
  • Watauga stands watching. A grave nod at someone he must know who silently turns to watch the ship pass. "Generations..." he says finally. He has to speak up to be heard through the suit and the thrum-thrum of the ship's engines. He unfastens a me…
