Motley,
Marigold raises her head to look at you, her hand tracing patterns on your chest, pausing over scars to skip around them. "I was an Amazon like my ma. Foster came at me, and so I left. None of the other gangs wanted a mouthy Zon riding wit…
As dawn comes, you're nearing the last long stretch before you turn to head north up into The Irons. The road is long and lonely and the air outside is crisp and cool.
There's a moment of pause when you hold the head up. Twenty plus eyes peer from cover and between pieces of junk and see what's happened to Tusk.
Then you start walking towards them, singing and walking, and that spooks a couple of them, they turn …
Sierra,
Fleece closes her eyes and surrenders to the kiss. You feel her presence, Sierra, how intensely she kisses you, hands on the back of your neck and touching your side, her tongue slips into your mouth seeking your own. When you break to sig…
Sierra,
The touch of your hand to her cheek pulls the tiniest of whimpers from Fleece, and you imagine the last bit of her resistance crumble. She looks into your eyes and her mouth opens for a moment as if she'd speak, like she's going to say 'I …
Sierra,
She looks into your eyes, ger gaze bouncing from eye to eye, searching. "I should... we shouldn't. I..." She closes the distance even closer, "I don't want to tie you here, Sierra. When you need to go."
Sierra,
Fleece watches you with clear eyes, her focus intent. She squeezes your hand when you take it in hers, and doesn't let go, her thumb tracing lightly along that space between your thumb and forefinger.
When you declare your feelings, guess…
You bellow and charge forward, over junk and debris. Obsidians see you, half of them shirk back or duck away, while the rest fire on you with panic. Bullets pepper you (2-Harm plus size difference for gang is 3, but taken down to 0 for armor and Ras…
Sierra,
Fleece's chest rises and falls as her pulse quickens. She still hasn't moved away, but neither has she touched you. "Sierra... ooma. You came to me earlier with the heartsick pain that everyone saw you as a desirable thing. What kind of fr…
Sierra,
She lets you pull her outside, she smiles when you touch her hair, too. She doesn't move away when you step in closer. "That's what kept you here? Ooma, you know my door was open." She swallows, you see a flash across her eyes like maybe s…
Sierra,
Her face shifts from concern to share your smile. She brings a finger to her lips, "Shh. Stashes don't last if you dip into them too much. Plus, I figured everyone would be sad with you gone, and I could get some cheap drinks."
With the Charger first out of the gates, it draws attention. Joe's Girl honks her horn and Roark yells like a mad man. Over at west gate, the guards open up and you ride out calm and quiet, lights off for the first hundred yards. Esco, you stay out …
Sierra,
She steps back a half step. "Oh... I was going to get certifiably trashed on cheap gin." She licks her lips, searching your eyes. "I thought you'd be long gone by now, Sierra. What's kept you? Everything alright?"
Sierra,
Sensing this is the real deal, JD takes the note, then moves around the bar, lifting his wooden plank of a gate to come around and give you a warm hug. He pats your back, then steps back, "It was an all too brief pleasure, Sierra. You're w…
The Charger roars to life with only a bit of a cough at the end there, a bad tailpipe or something. Joe's Girl puts on a helmet she borrowed from inside, puts on goggles, then gives you a thumbs up. She revs one more time, then pulls out, heading fo…
The rifle reports hard, sending a bullet through Tusks left shoulder. From the spray behind him, looks like a through and through. He drops down behind a fridge, yelling in some weird language to his people. Mimi fires her pistol, smoothly hitting t…
Sierra,
You get something unexpected. A look of surprise from JD. "Oh. Esco. Sorry. I thought 'where do I go next?' was a higher priority." He leans back against the wall behind the bar. "Just go, Sierra. He's stuck in a rut with you. you both nee…
Sierra,
JD nods, like he knew your intentions, like he gets it and doesn't like the implications. He wipes at the bar for a moment, then says, "You want to get away from the Fipper's eyes. Only places I know in DVFP where they don't snoop is the F…
"Sheetfire, you pay in snatch, right? That's good enough fer me. Come on, JG, you can drive, I can make a ruckus!" Roark says while stumble-running towards a Dodge Charger with reinforced doors and a chickenwire grill and the word DO GE on the front…
"Any fuggin' day now, sunshine! Stop jawing at Slot Machine and get Tusk while the gettin's good!"
Mimi glances back at those three, "This plan's better than the perfect plan, 'cause we got no time. Go on, I'll cover you. Hope your shoelaces are ti…
Sierra,
JD catches your glass, then runs a finger over the rim, "Esco's recruiting run was as much about stretching his legs." After a moment of deliberation, he pours you a new drink, but looks like there's more mix than alcohol in it, you'd gues…
"I'm in to ride if anyone wants to drive!" Roark says before he belches. "I mean, fug it, I'd drive... but yeah, you don't want that. I can make a ruckus!"
Ace puts a hand on Roark's shoulder, "Easy there, tiger. Listen, Esco, you got barter to t…
"Sounds better than shoot Tusk and then shoot the others. Hey, where's that fuggin' mortar? " She peers out towards three Obsids moving closer, grips her pistol and looks to you, ready to cover your six.
What do you do?
Joe's Girl looks disappointed that you're leaving, Cinch, but she isn't going to ask you to stay, of course. Roark comes out of one of the rooms inside, a little drunk and bleary eyed. Cinch, from the way he looks at you, he seems surprised. Maybe h…
"They aren't my fuggin buds," Mimi answers testily. "But no, they'd trounce these snakes. Cept, there's whole ton more Fronters than us two." She peers at you in the dim light of dusk and realizes you're set on a thing, then she puts the pistol betw…
Sierra,
JD gives you a grin as he mixes up a new drink for you, "Do you think that piano magically appeared here?" He pulls out a small chalkboard to look over the room situation. "Well, hate to say this, but your music got folks all happy and hor…
Joe's Girl watches as you inspect your helmet, Cinch. Sure enough, you see a small crack in the helmet, find some fragments in the lining. And a hint of blood on your scalp.
"You sure you gotta go, Cinch?" Joe's Girl asks expectantly, worry colorin…
Esco,
As soon as you talk, Ace jogs over to you like she didn't recognize you or see you or something, "Fug me, Esco! What the hell! You got your leg mashed," she checks out your arms, your back, "Someone shot you in the back? Damn, man, did you t…
