Dokken props his choppah sword on his shoulder, "So lemme get this straight. Fippers got some love tussle, and one of 'em offered all. ALL of us freedom if you give some singer early release?" Of course, that is the deal exactly. He peers around, "Y…
Sierra,
Fleece heads out with you to start packing things up. Reese falls in, with Horse behind you. Your stuff's easy enough to carry. Are you asking Fleece to move her stuff? She's not exactly sure how that's going to work yet, I think.
June,
Onc…
When you come out of the little shed to meet with the Crue. They're arranged in a communal eating area filled with metal picnic benches. There are a dozen folks milling around the edges and your Crue all sitting on seats and tabletops, waiting to he…
Cinch and Gigg, with the line broken, it's easy enough to surge forward and push Graves and her gang to either side of the road so you can outdistance them. Gigg, do you take any pot shots at them as you fly past?
Sierra,
Regardless of the public eyes, Fleece sense your distress and moves up to pull you into a fierce hug. She murmurs words of encouragement, and tries to lend some strength.
June,
After checking out your room and getting some food (Roth arrive…
You feel a hint of the warmness from Rothschild, mixed with her relief. "An egg. Or something. Not a problem. The kid's sharp, by the way. She'd be a good spotter, but her eyes freak everyone out. I got her a hood. She doesn't like it. Kids are a pa…
While you make your way into High Rent, Kamikaze watches, bids you a good day.
Through the relayer, you feel Rothschild's response, "I took Bee Bee out to market. Went by the rig, there are eyes on it. Nobody obvious, but eyes. We're safe. I miss y…
Peppering nods, listening and taking it in. He can't stop this, of course, and doesn't offer. You walk into the back room, through the small kitchen, past the fryer and stove, and into the office, which has a door that locks.
Peppering pauses, glances over towards Reese and Horse, then remarks, "Oh. Guess you attracted some important eyes, then." He looks back down at his book. "I hear it's real nice in there, Sierra. Great food, even better than here. Bigger rooms. I've…
He looks up and nods, "Oh, the show was great, and the afters was fun, too. You have some interesting friends." He glances past you to Fleece, gives her a nod. "Everything alright?" He asks a bit quieter, like he senses your unease.
Your request seems logical enough to Horse, and he stands near the entrance to the Bar while you walk in. Reese hangs out near him, strikes up a conversation in hopes of getting some information or ingratiating himself to the big guy. Fleece walks i…
"Good stuff, June, good stuff all around. With Fippers leaning on Depot, having someone like you around is exactly what we've needed." He reaches a hand over to pat your knee in a weirdly affectionate way, "A whole different game than selling shite …
Horse holds open the door for everyone, making a grunt of acceptance for what needs to be moved. Reese hangs back to let you move in front, making sure he's between you and Horse, and Fleece moves up to walk beside you as you head up the stairs. Fle…
Dokken nods slowly, "Harley yeah I am. You traded away the gang when you threw us in with the fuggin Zons. Last and her stupid plan got us shot to hell, cost us fuel and bikes, and for what? To get Riot and you pinched and now we can't go back to De…
"Yes, Miss Sierra." Horse answers. "Boss said if you accepted, I've gotta keep you safe till you're back in the palace. You don't need to pack your stuff, if you want to just show me where it's at, I'll get some laborers to bring it." He pauses, thi…
"If you're able," The Fat Man answers, "Bring them to me at my palace. If not, send it via runner or notify one of my people and I will send some people to you." He watches you leave.
Kamikaze chuckles as he puts the key in the little ignition …
After a brief moment of hesitation, The Fat Man rises from his chair and moves around the desk to close the distance between you, and takes your hand. His grip is firm. "I look forward to seeing the fruits of your efforts, June Weaver. Thank you for…
Miles ends his side of the conversation, and it's quiet in the room except for the lights overhead.
"I think I can breathe now." Fleece says from her spot by the vending machines. "You negotiated very well. I kept expecting you to look over to me f…
His eyes do flit down to your legs when you cross them, but they return to your face quickly. "A jingle for each visit from a dignitary, a jingle for each performance I request. Of course, you will have food and lodging, which will be better than an…
You are right about what "his house" includes, at least from his reaction.
The Fat Man listens to your logic and offers up, "I value honesty, and if I find a member of my staff has lied about theft, the repercussions will be severe. When someone lie…
"I will have Horse stay around at High Rent to watch over you. He can organize some people to carry what you need carried. Once you have moved into your new place, I will try to come by to see you tonight." He nods and meets your eyes through the sc…
"I'm good, Mot, real good." Dokken says with a tone still dripping with bravado. "Already sent AC out to Depot to tell The Fat Man we're taking all Ziggy's shite. All but The Irons, he'll have to retake that place, but the rest of the territory is o…
The compliment has its desired effect, you see his expression soften. "Horse can escort you to my palace today. I can have your belongings moved to your new room in my palace. As I said, it isn't safe for you out here, so I urge you to act swiftly. …
Cinch, when you bump one of the bikes, the front wheel turns and the guy is sent sprawling forward while the bike flips end over end, and you see him in the rearview. That breaks up their line, and you nudge past them. Both of the remaining riders f…
Miles looks you over for a long moment. He reaches up to scratch at his cheek, then rumbles his response with a wry laugh, "Well, that is the question, isn't it?" He sits back in his chair, crossing his arms, "If you cease to be a thorn in the sub-w…
The Fat Man gets your meaning, with the look up, then to his face. His answer is a subtle nod like "yeah, exactly".
"I don't know who Bee Bee is, but I'm aware of Rothschild, and her penchant for taking things that aren't hers." He clears his throa…
He chuckles, waves a hand like "no no". "I don't have an altruistic bone in my body, Sierra." He smiles, it's genuine mirth, and watches you for a moment. "I am already on the bad side of the sub-warden. You and I have that in common. The longer you…
Alright Cinch, you have this move in mind, and those bikes are going to try and stick close and hamper you. You need to shoulder them.
To shoulder another vehicle, roll+cool. On a hit, you shoulder it aside, inflicting v-harm as established. On a 1…
