Mimi does meet your fist bump, but then she takes her hand back to work on the seat, scooting it forward and as far up as possible. When she pulls out after Last's bikers, you see that she shifts gears and steers with her knees and hand, it's a coor…
Mimi starts up Swagman, revving the engine to life, goosing it to be louder. Last shakes her head ruefully, while Krin stares daggers at her.
"Motley and the Crue are waiting for us at The Irons, Gigg. Let's get going. Don't make me regret this, a…
Fleece's expression softens when you open up to her, and she looks down at you, searching your eyes, before taking a deep breath, exhaling and saying, "I... I don't know, Esco. We've had some great times together, that's no lie. You are a king in th…
Fleece reaches up to the seam on her mask, then wriggles it over her head.
"I happen to have a clinic, which took me three years to build to the current state you see right now. Sections of it are built into the earth. I'm not going anywhere withou…
"She has a magic about her, doesn't she?" Fleece says with uncharacteristic fondness. She clears her throat, "Loving Sierra wasn't a mistake, Esco. Caging her up, that was. It..." She waves a hand, then gets back to her exam, "Fug it doesn't matter.…
Gigg,
"Gigg," Last says after she looks off Krin from saying anything more. "If Mimi puts any of my girls at risk, I will put a bullet in her head. She's your wheeler, but she's on thin ice." She looks at Mimi, a level and serious staredown.
"I …
Fleece is inscrutable in her mask, but you swear you sense some tension at the talk of your dream. "I'm sorry she isn't here to fulfill your fantasies of her, Esco. I'm sure you can arrange something with your girls, though."
The pressure on your k…
Sierra,
"No problem, Ms. Weaver," Peppering says sharply, "Your friend's name is Rothschild? She was here for a couple hours. Drank at the bar, then headed over to the table there. She wasn't too chatty. She turned down a couple guys who stopped b…
"She feels like they only came because of her. I'm inclined to think she's right. She... remembers things about the outside, Esco. I know that doesn't matter, since we're all serving the same sentence. Still, she wants to become her own person, and …
Sierra,
"I've got a free room on the ground floor. It's for staff, one bed, one cot, one bathroom. No windows. You two would need to share it. for every night you sing, you eat and drink the next day on the house. If you don't sing for a week, the…
Cinch,
Rufe heads over to you, "Hey there, Cinch, you want something to eat, something for your, ah, your head?" She looks much better than last you two met, seems somewhat "at home" here. Also, she's not dressed like she's a working girl, nothing …
"Esco," Fleece says as she finishes the last stitch, snipping it and moving back to her cabinet to put things away, "If you're watching out for Cinch, then you're not being a blazebrain. That's actually decent of you." She shoves the drawer closed, …
June,
"I agree, better than heading out at this time of night," Reese says while pulling Rothschild up into his arms. He grunts a little with the effort and settling back, but then he's ready to move.
"Sierra," Reese says as he starts walking towa…
Fleece helps you out of your jacket and shirt, working quickly and without hesitation or show of modesty. "Lay down on your stomach, Esco." She helps you lie down and gets to work on the wound.
"Looks like a graze, the bullet didn't go in. So there…
Gigg,
Last doesn't want a fight to go down here, Gigg, you can tell she's swayed by your offer, but she has to respect her gang, too. And protect them, sometimes from their own stupid anger. She's lost so much, and her play for Foster is less vengea…
Once you have the bike secure in the truck, you head up to The Irons without any further trouble. The last stretch of road before you reach the cave mouth has an interesting display, Cinch. A van burned to metal and rubber char sits to the side of w…
It takes a while to get the winch on the truck fixed and the handlebars looped. There's a moment when you almost lose your footing and slip, Cinch, but you keep hold of the chain and Esco starts the winch up, pulling you and the bike out. Sand pours…
June,
She slowly moves forward towards your face, her head wavering. "I am not. Sssshort. You're. Really tall. That's different." She stabs a finger out to point towards Sierra, "I'm as tall as singerlady! Be taller if.... if my hair grew out!" She…
Gigg,
"Listen up, Big A," Krin says from her bike, her mouth practically in a snarl. "That cur is less than chum! Last, why are we even TALKING about this?!?" She's pointing at Mimi with hate in her eyes.
"That's enough, Krin." Last says calm an…
Gigg,
Well. Last gives you a hard look, still not reaching for her guns. It sounds like you're just jawing here, so I'd like to see you Manipulate Last into that apology, which she won't give easy.
Cinch, you notice that the sand a few feet around the handlebars are a shade lighter than the rest. When you step outside and move closer, you'd swear that is a sinkhole, no firm ground underneath it. There might be a whole motorcycle down there.
