  • [Cinch] Damn it, and just when I was smellin' sweet... all right. What needs doin' needs doin' right? I help with the old man, Ford can easily pick him, but I'll take his gun for him, get a hand on his arm and the other free to open up the back do…
  • [Cinch] I slow to a near-stop as Ford jumps out to check on Pirelli.... the whole place feels off. Like the air is broken... my tires don't make enough sound on the broken-wet pavement. The air feels heavy and it makes me want to whisper. "Ford...…
  • Cool. Ok... What should I be on the lookout for? If that mentions some hostile persons then the following: Who is the biggest threat? And What is my best way out?
  • [Cinch] Read the sitch: (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 6, 6. Total: 14)
  • [Cinch] Yeah, where there's gas, valuables, people get on edge. Little bothered by Ford not telling me the place was occupied until we're at the doorstep, but maybe I shoulda known. Sure... let's check on him. But I'm keeping my eyes alert, hell…
  • [Cinch] Hey we're adults here, and he is a pretty good looking guy... thing is I don't go with may guys... not all the way to bed. But yeah, I get naked, spend the first few minutes just getting days of road dirt off of me, getting clean as I can i…
  • In case it wasn't clear, going to the lake shore.
  • [Cinch] I smile a crooked little smile at him, the excitement of pulling something like this off is pretty intoxicating. But... practical. "Hey I ain't going swimming with who-the-heck-ever 'Roga gang on my six... naaaw, let's hit the lake." I loo…
  • Isn't Newburg South of us? And not all that far from (Actually East of) Monroe? [Cinch] "Pfft" I scoff playfully, "I been everywhere..." Not really, but I been closer to it than most people. But always good to network. "Love to meet your buddies, …
  • [Cinch] "Mostly talkin' to myself," I answer. True enough, I do go on sometimes in my own head and sometimes out loud. I know what he means about up North... I ain't spent too much time up there but there was a family lived nearby in the mountains …
  • [Cinch] He hops in, cool. I smile at the guy, you know, a couple hours of sponsored-fuel burning sounds great. I can let loose and he'll top me off when we get back. You don't want to be caught out near Glen's Falls. The whole area is crawling wi…
  • [Cinch] I hand it over and take the can, "do I talk about much other than cars?" I stop and have a little laugh. I guess it's relative. He makes his offer. I stop and face him, jerry can at my side. "Now that is a deal, Ford!" I punctuate with a …
  • [Cinch] Well that's slightly deflating. Was hoping for a break. "All right," I say, a bit defeated, "it's not like I can drive without gas... I gotta have something left to pay ya.... something..." I head over to the jeep. I have one Jingle left,…
  • [Cinch] I nibble my lip a bit at the compliments and follow him to the truck. Yeah, he's sweet on me or somethin' like. But I try and keep it casual, but not too close. "Delivery? Always good with that... ain't nowhere I cant go, right?" Anywhere …
  • [Cinch] My face shows a little concern when he talks of cannibalizing the Neon. Messing up a working vehicle is pretty rough, there ain't so many these days. But they're fixing her... good. I lay a hand on the fender and run it along as I walk clos…
  • [Cinch] "Mornin, Ford!" I chirp back, leaning an elbow out the window as I roll to a stop. The misty rain feels good and I've been ridin' with the windows half-open. Helps me forget. I roll to a stop, kick the door open and swing down with a hand …
  • [Cinch] Thirds touches my shoulder and I turn to glance back at him. One hand lightly on the wheel as we coast towards Clarity. Then Sniper shouts down to us, he's using this... leaving Clarity out there as a bargaining chip. Doesn't sit right wi…
  • [Cinch] He'll be behind cover in a second, cover's comin' to him.
  • [Cinch] Quickly take in the situation, Clarity's hit... Sniper's up on the roof. They're talkin' at least... I lay off the gas and coast forward towards Clarity. Got my eyes on the roof line. If I see trouble I'll give it some gas. If not I'll just…
  • [Cinch] I pull up into the familiar seat, feeling wrong... I look back at her one last time. Thirds startles me, didn't expect him to be with me on this. I turn to look back at Thirds, silent for a second as I meet his eyes... I hate myself right …
  • [Cinch] I take a step back, clenching those gloves in my raised hand. "Ok... ok all right," not surprised she don't trust me. I mean... I did just run her down. "Gonna go run some cover, try and..." it hurts how she's lookin' at me... I just ba…
  • [Cinch] Helping Thirds convince her: (Rolled: 2d6-1. Rolls: 5, 1. Total: 5)
  • [Cinch] Guess that's me. She don't look great. I wonder if I killed her... it's starting to eat at me a bit. Damn, at least the kid's all right. Damn, I think so anyway... he went runnin' off like nothin' happened. "Come on, just let us, try and…
  • [Cinch] She spins the gun over to Thirds, she's getting upset... outnumbered now. "Ain't gonna help you 'less you ask for it, ok? Figure I owe ya to ask..." I raise both hands. But I'm watching the woman's hands. If it looks like she's gonna shoo…
  • [Cinch] I don't like guns pointed at me all that much, but I don't think she's gonna shoot me. Still got my hand raised sort of trying to keep things calm... my pistol's next to the driver's seat in the car. Thing's too damned big to wear around al…
  • [Cinch] I talk a lot when I'm driving... helps me focus or something. But when it's down to something like this, silence. I pull with everything I've got to skid out of the way, but it ain't enough... I lock the hand brake, skidding the back of th…
  • Act under fire to get out of the line of fire and in position to cover Thirds. (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 1, 1. Total: 4)
  • [Cinch] Shootin' breaks out all round. Rue keeping heads down, I'm turning a quick right, in front of Rue and then around the corner of the Kroger's and hopefully out of the line of fire enough to get up some speed and unhook the fifty. Then I cat…
  • [Cinch] No stranger to being shot at, but that was an ugly sound. A nasty metal sound and... did they just punch a hole in my hood? Serious? A quick breath, one hand tight on the wheel I give it some speed and swerve left, right hand on the shift.…
