"Esco," Fleece hisses, looking around. She draws a circle around the bar with a quick gesture, "Farathoom! There are eyes and ears. Don't you suppose she's watching where her new hunting dog has gone?" She seems very worried about this plan, Motley.
Tum Tum slowly opens a desk drawer, pulling out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. His hands shake as he pours two fingers in each. "That girl Li? I don't know, man. Cinch drove off with her, the Zons and the others, it was chaos. With the Fippers…
"... freedom?" Marigold speaks the word reverently. She looks to Fleece, then back to you, Motley. "The whole crue? For one murder?" Your girl rubs your back softly. "In front of Sierra? Harley, that's terrible..." She leans into you, trying to offe…
The couch groans under your weight, and the quilt helps, a little, against the cold in your bones.
Tum Tum remains behind the "safety" of his desk, but he doesn't run, instead answering in a wary tone, "That's what I heard, Gigg. This morning, you …
Tum Tum jumps when you move up on him and talk. His eyes pop open and when he sees you, he flops out of the couch and scrambles for his chair and desk, "Oh gods! The fug kinda nightmares I got now? Blankets? Sure, dead man, take em!" He gestures bac…
(in case you're confused, since "body shots" mean different things to different people)
Krin has you lie on the bar, Sierra, and takes up a fifth of some hard liquor. She pours some salt on your stomach above your belly button, gently places a lim…
When you turn around, you run right into Marigold, who's drenched, smiling, and holding Winkle's hand. Her mouth widens into a grin and she runs up to hug you, "Harley bless me, Mot!" She kisses your cheek, squeezes tight, "I didn't know where you w…
"You're next, Driver," Krin says as she pulls at your hand, Sierra. "C'mon, pretty girl, we get to have some real fun. Pepper, give us something strong, alright?" She slaps the bar, "Up up, Sierra. This will be very fun. I promise."
Peppering pour…
"Body shots!" Krin declares loudly, pointing to everyone at the table. "And lots of interestin' bodies to sample. I think Sierra oughta go first. Who wants to take a shot off her? After me, that is. My idea, I get first crack." She looks to you, Sie…
"Li has just us in the world of the dead, Gigg. She's with us now. Nothing can touch her anymore. She doesn't have a meat body like you. You want vengeance against him? That's how you set things right."
You step through an open door and walk right…
"We haven't seen anyone since this morning." JD answers as Esco comes in. "Great work beating the Skorpions in the arena, I heard that was a hell of a match." He sees Esco's got the conversation, and gets back to work organizing the rain barrels and…
All, Reese chuckles once, and Beckett nods, like "sure, I've got this".
Peppering stands up with an armful of glasses and a bright smile, ""Sure, if I can find any clean glasses. Give me a minute" He heads back towards the kitchen to clean those gl…
Sierra,
"I came here for you, I'm staying," Krin admits as she follows you. "And honestly, the view from back here? It aint bad." She playfully slaps your butt, chuckles and walks out of the back room with you towards the bar.
Cinch and June,
Si…
Sierra,
Krin thanks Peppering for letting her through. You notice she has a slight limp as she moves up to you. "Of course I can, Sierra," shs says helpfully as she places a hand on the zipper, another on your shoulder. She slowly unzips the dress,…
Sierra,
You head past the bar and Peppering, who gives you a big thumbs up, and back to the area where your normal clothes are. You see Krin trying to make her way back there, but Peppering isn't going to let her unless you say something. What do yo…
Sierra,
There's applause, calls for encore, and a number of drinks are ordered for you, Sierra. A couple merchants ask you to come sit at their tables, and that could mean some more jingle. Krin's giving you the eye as well, and June and Cinch's got…
Esco, ever the aware Maestro'D, you see (and hear) Quiet Riot arrive, and catch Motley skulking inside the tent entrance for the bar-formerly-known-as-The-Pit. He looks worn and frayed. There might be other Crue members around, but everyone's outsid…
Motley, you were flown back to Depot on the same helicopter that snatched you away, and dropped off at the DVFP Security post in the town. Quiet Riot and you started to make your way towards Fall On Inn with hopes to find the Crue, and it started to…
Esco, a sudden smile appears on Fleece's face as she recognizes the rain, too, and she lets you drag her outside without complain. The Diamond folks follow you, eyes wide, laughing as they dance in the rain. JD stays at the bar, watching over the st…
Cinch and June, Missed reaches a hand across the table to squeeze the top of yours, Cinch, then sits back.
The crowd's in your hands now, Sierra. The bowl for tips is full of Depot Dollars, and the night's getting long, with rain above coming down…
June and Cinch,
Rothschild listens to the song she requested, the whole time, eyes closed and gently moving her head in time with the song's beats, mouthing some of the chorus. It's important to her for some reason.
At the end of the song, before …
"Gigg," Lala says as your body seeps into that other place. You walk through a shadowy realm, a hallways with many doors, and Lala is with you. "We are both dead now. We walk together now. What has brought you back, Gigg? What drives you now?"
Gloriana glances back at Rose and smiles proudly, "Prisoner Rose... I told you I wouldn't need to have you torture your little girlfriend there. You were so worried about cutting off her fingers one by one while Motley begged you to stop. And now, y…
Sierra,
After the applause, you see Rothschild enter the room and head up to you. She drops a couple dollars in your bowl and comes over to whisper into your ear, "There's a song I want you to sing, Helpable. It's called Young Blood. You know it?"…
As the duet ends, the crowd applauds and bangs their glasses lightly on the tables. Peppering is barely keeping up, and a few Depot Dollars are brought over for your bowl.
Krin watches you go, Cinch, but she stays by the bar, closer to Sierra and the piano.
"DJ Gnarly was singing your praises, Cinch." Missed adds, "Not that he can sing at all. But he was telling everyone about how you drove all night to save everyone…
Your insults cause Gloriana's face to twitch slightly with annoyance, but she keeps control. Quiet Riot's looking at you like you're her hero, though. She's inspired, even if this is a terrifying predicament.
"What the fug-" she jerks again, then h…
