Fleece continues her ministrations for a moment longer before answering your first question. She looks up at you, "Yes. I worked for him for a time, until I decided to leave. He thinks of himself as cultured and he's no selt. Sing for him. He won't …
As the dark brown bikes of Graves and her eleven riders wait by the gates, merchants and others try to press around. After a few moments of yelling and threatening with guns, the people on foot back off. The doors clear, and the bikers ride through …
The Fat Man takes a pull off his cigar, then slowly blows the smoke so that it wafts towards you. "I do, June Weaver. I most certainly do." He is composed, if a bit humbled to be here in this small office instead of his fuggin' palace.
Kamikaze and…
Fleece slides up to you, her mouth seeking your neck, gently nibbling as her hands wander over your body, "He's a wily dictator. Also, he's careful. He asks much and reveals little." She slides down to her knees, working at your skirt deftly. "From …
You're driven to the closest barrack, with the rest of Kamikaze's unit march-jogging after the golf cart. The barrack is a huge quonset hut with dozens of men and women in uniforms, a level of organization The Fat Man's goons haven't shown until thi…
(this is a layout of Fleece's room. There are boxes stacked along the walls filled with her supplies)
Fleece happily takes your hand as she takes another slice of orange. When you lay out your plan, Fleece responds with, "There's my girl. Plan ah…
Fleece shakes her head no. "Security didn't help The Fat Man, ooma. In fact, that helo fired on the palace." Fleece says calmly as she rubs her foot along yours. "They arrested Motley and one of his gang, and that's where she told Motley to kill me.…
Reese heads out to grab his gear and get ready.
Meanwhile Fleece is sitting at the table, barefoot and calm. She sighs lightly when you kiss her cheek, and meets your eyes when you sit down across from her.
"Gigg and some Amazons attacked the Fat …
The ride on the golf cart attracts some eyes, and you see the long line of folks waiting to get out of Depot. As you head towards the barracks, you hear gunfire, and a few people shouting from the walls, the sounds of cars and bikes zooming away. Ka…
Reese grimaces, "Beckett got a job, had to leave right off. She's gone, See. I was coming up to tell you when they stomped in." He glances back down the hall. "That was The Fat Man's people. It's a peaceful invite, too. June's going to be alright, a…
Kamikaze nods, "It is a sad time." Kamikaze says as the elevator comes to a stop. He reaches out to press the door close button to hold a moment longer, "Ziggy should have never been put in charge of that sector." He holds your eyes as he says this,…
Cinch and Motley, you're both trying to time it right and bust out when the bikers ride, right? Let's see each of you Act Under Fire. You'll need a full success to get out clean. On a mixed success, you'll get an ugly choice.
On a miss, you're out, …
Kamikaze steps into the elevator with you. Another guard, a guy with long hair peeking out under his helmet, tries to get on with you both, but Kamikaze holds up a hand, "Stairs, Horse."
The elevator doors close. What song is quietly playing in th…
Your best escape route is to wait for these guards to take June out and head into another room, just hunker down and wait it out. Based on what you've overheard from the group, getting in is as simple as proclaiming yourself "the singer" and walking…
Krin yells from the back, "Shut up, Gigg!" She kicks the back of your seat, "Cinch is gonna snake up through, can't you see it? Holy hell, you big baby!" She kicks the back of your seat again.
Motley, QR's walking her bike up closer to the gate, …
You feel something June. A tickle at the base of your spine. Like your synapses are syncing up with a wireless connection. A familiar one. Sierra has just meshed in with you, and her signal's coming strong.
Sierra, what do you have to say to June w…
Graves looks at you for a long moment, Motley. She revs her bike once, like a statement, then pulls forward. As she does, Cinch, she leans down and makes eye contact with you, "Smart girl there. Pretty, too. Hey there, Cinch." She gives a crooked sm…
Gigg and Cinch, Krin nods that she's packing, and shows a small machine pistol she had in a bag. QR's got her pistol shotty and you see a knife at her belt, too.
Kamikaze nods, accepting it, looks to the goons around him who are clad in the same heavy armor. "I appreciate it, Vinegar. You look different, out o' your suit. Still mighty fetching, mind you." He offers a smile, and walks at a nice slow pace besi…
Just so we're clear. The gate, which is a pair of stout metal doors that are pulled open by chains on the inside and have a huge fugging bar to keep them closed, are still closed right now.
Reese catches the opening of your door, but he's on the other side of these goons, a squad of them. He's trying not to draw attention to you, or himself. Kamikaze's waiting for June, and you hear him talk to June when she opens the door:
"Hey there…
Motley,
The lead rider look at you, pushes up her goggles and spits on the ground. She laughs, looks back at the others, "Pretty boy, you better watch your mouth, or I'll stick you and take your girl before your body's cold. We've got orders from …
You see men and women dressed in tech armor, you've seen the likes of it before, but there are no House colors. Only an emblem for a griffon with one claw raised. You've seen it here in Depot, on the Garage, High Rent, some of the buildings. You rec…
Outside, you hear June's sharp reply, "Hold your horses! I got to tie on my shoes." Your tears break Fleece's passion and she simply holds you as you implore her to let you see what's going on. She nods, slipping away from you to get a piece of frui…
Rothschild is well out of their line of sight, and Bee Bee's breathing's quieter now. They probably only see you, June.
At the door is a guy you've seen a few times at The Irons, a merc Sierra said had a nice singing voice - Kamikaze. He offers you …
You are given a few moments to "tie your shoes", since no response is yelled back. Rothschild comes back to you, dropping down to help you get properly dressed, her nimble hands working on laces and belts and all business. Moments later, Bee Bee sti…
Fleece wraps her arms around you, her mouth devouring, tongue exploring you like it's the last time. The marching stops. A moment later, you hear a strong voice bellow, "June Weaver! Get dressed! Come out!"
Fleece doesn't stop kissing you, though, …
Bee Bee doesn't hesitate, she scampers into the bathroom and hunkers down in the tub, hiding quick-quick.
"After yesterday, Fat Man's moving hard? Wants to show he's still in charge." Rothschild makes sure you're as presentable as possible before s…
When you come back to Fleece fully dressed, she's placing small fried meaty links on two plates that already have slices of fresh fruit on them. She smiles softly and turns into you, leaving the plates on the stove over a cold eye.
"Shhh, ooma," Fl…
