  • Silica Yeah... we get One-footed up out of the sled, she's looking a lot better on her feet. Few hours of rest and hey, the cold is at least good at keeping swelling down right? So we walk towards Underlake. It'll be nice to get some rest, listen…
  • Silica The dancing lights which hover around the coat sparkle there in the corners of my vision for just a few moments as I pull it from the frosty ground. I hold it to my chest, breathe deep close my eyes for a second. I never knew before the thi…
  • Silica It's amazing sometimes, like I'm walking through the snow and it's all around me, and the world goes silent... sometimes I can reach out and catch one of those little glittery motes and bring it to my chest or my ear, and feel what it means,…
  • Silica Yeah, I'll chip it out. "Gimme a minute..." I say to the others, kind of distractedly. I just have to rescue the coat.... I know it, I know it'll fit me. I get down on my knees and chip at the ice with my knife, I feel the fabric where it'…
  • Silica I catch the color right away, anything brightly colored on the lake immediately catches the eye. I'm surprised I hadn't seen it on the way but there in the lee of the ridge maybe I missed it. "Hold up a second," I say, trotting up ahead to …
  • Silica "Ok, look... I said we gotta watch each other..." I look out over the ice, "One-footed, we were fuckin' stupid, ok? Climbing that thing... that's how you got hurt..." "Now, I don't want Squirrel on my ass about that... right? So I can't hav…
  • Silica I totally understand why she doesn't want to... hell, I'd have trouble admitting I need help. Guess I still do. But she's slowing us down dangerously. Spending my hold: How can I get her to let us help her without making her feel like she's…
  • Reading one-footed: (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 5, 1. Total: 8) xp(3)
  • Silica I look back at her struggling. She's bad ass if anyone, that much fucking hurt and not a word out of her. "Yeah, we can do that, sit your ass down on here, girl," a smile, I'm just trying to lighten the mood a little. I know she doesn't wan…
  • Silica I get the other foot set up and watch him test them in the ice. Should be night and day for him, "how do those feel?" I ask simply before zipping closed my pack and standing up, tossing it back over my shoulder. One-footed might see the un…
  • SIlica "Yeah," I answer simply, not much else to say until we get out of this place. I wait until we're a good ten, fifteen minutes outside of the pier and out on the open ice to stop. I set my pack in front of me and crouch down to open it. I ain…
  • Silica "Ain't worried about'cha, just don't wanna carry your ass home, girl!" she is badass and tough. She gotta be to live. I hold Nose's wrist between my cool hands and look around, thinking. No more fucking around, he's right, its not a joke. …
  • Silica "Fuckin..." yeah damn it. I get back down to my feet, bleedin' on myself. Damn... I walk over to them, hissing between my teeth at the pain, "you guys all right? One-footed, are you ok on the ankle? We got a long walk ahead and I guess I'm…
  • Sure! Act under fire: (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 4, 1. Total: 6)
  • Silica I stand there a second, looking out over the ice... I know somewhere inside that this is a bad idea. We need to get moving.... like, it's not nearly night yet but... but fuck it. I bite. "That aint fuckin' happening!" I tease, sticking the …
  • Silica "Yeah, uh... sure..." I was just putting the gun away and instead take it back out. I don't hand it to him but I show it, "It's allright, you know... little nina' just in case." Then I return it to its spot. I take the jerky and rip off a n…
  • Silica "Headin' back to c-town so I'm good... allright... but I'll keep an eye on my shit." I take the pistol and check it out, loading the clip and trying the action. Hopefully it's an easier pull than the forty-five. It's probably obvious watch…
  • Silica None of your fucking business, is what I think. But I say, "banga's for me, but I got some 'am friends need some gear, allright?" I slide the forty-five with the magazine taken out over his table to him. "We got a deal, man?"
  • Can I trade in my big Hoho special .45 for a little 9mm and the other stuff? I need a gun more my size. I can throw in a little somethin' if need be. (little touch of ice, maybe)
  • Silica Ok, so I'm going to browse the market, find someone dealing winter gear, salvaged shit from the snow or whatever. Going to find a good pair of winter gloves, about my size, and a pair of crampons... someone out here must make 'em. I've seen …
  • Silica That was pretty fun. "you're pretty quick on your feet when you're not on the lake, man," I say to Nose, hopping out of the tunnel to land on both feet. Truth is I am pretty quick and I guess I do have good balance, but I'm not especially st…
  • Silica "Hey!" I call out and chase her, a grin on my face. A little sheepish at having been tricked... but it's all good.
  • Silica I kind of want to race him, you know... but she's probably right. "Yeah wait up, Nose, we need to head back before it gets cold," I follow, but walking. A couple more minutes won't hurt us, but I don't want them to get stuck out on the ice…
  • Silica Joking around with these two kids has made me feel pretty carefree actually. The cheesy music and the lights and the weird puking thing makes me crack up. I walk up to the barrel and put my hands on the edge, I watch it puke a couple times…
  • Silica This place is crazy. I actually enjoy the damned thing, why have I never come here? The music kind of sucks but at least it's music. I laugh at the funny reflections, at the stupid decorations. And actually kind of have fun with these guys. …
  • Silica "Music?" actually gets me excited, i wonder what kind of music but before I know it we're at the gate. "Yeah, I'm comin' for sure," I step up on the platform and hold the cable or whatever with one hand. I am curious what the heck a pukin…
  • Silica I shrug, ignoring Nose's attitude, "haven't been... what's the deal with that place anyway?"
  • Silica Pfft.... fine. "Yeah, I seen sledders do it, ok? Double sole or somethin' works. Better to have real ice crawlin spikes but how many of those have you seen for sale? Whatever man." But we get back to business. "Yeah, sure I'm comin'... got…
  • Silica They need some better gear, "you need better gloves, One-footed, those things are letting the wind right through, huh? And your boots are shit Nosepick... pound shitload of little nails through the soles from the inside... might help. And be…
