As soon as the mask is on and I spot the bag of my clothes, I rip it open and get dressed quickly. Esco's fancy fork was wrapped up inside my clothes and in my haste it fell out and clattered to the floor, it's clinking noise echoing throughout the…
I sit up slowly and let out a huge sigh through pursed lips, and rotate until my legs are hanging off the side of the table. Looks like a couple hundred pockmarks up and down the front part of my arms and legs where someone must have spent hours pic…
Her reassurance is like quikrete in my gut, instantly setting firm and solid. Soon the wracks and waves of emotion pass and its just her and me and the sound of the shower raining down, water pooling between our pressed bodies. I notice my skin, my …
All resistance falls away when I hear Lala say mama. I let her pull my hands away from my face, a horrified and incredulous look on my contorted and misshapen face. I no longer see a grungy hooded biker chick, only a gaunt, weathered and stringy-ha…
Despite Lala's touch, the shame is still too powerful. On my back with Lala on top, under the bright artificial light and without my mask, my hands cover my face, I sob through half-closed fingers, "Don't look at me..."
The last of my filthy clothes hits the sterile floor, and suddenly I can't recall ever being this naked. No clothes, no mask, no Pops, no junkyard, none of my gear. My whole body is trembling and I'm not sure why. Am I cold? Am I frightened? I'm tr…
"What'd you do with my mask? What'd you do with Pops?" I say trying to put her off while cutting my eyes around the room looking for possible place my mask and gear might be.
I start undressing, unable to resist the shower discovered in the other …
I'm very stiff, and everything hurts and screams when I first roll over. Once I get my wounded knees under me, I'm able to struggle to standing position, steadying myself by holding onto some furniture. My mask? I need to find it. I'm not the same w…
Blood loss, dehydration, burns, broken ribs and collarbone, punctured lung, it's all caught up with me. And now Pops and Lala vying for control in the mask, wearing me down mentally, confusing me, spending energy just to focus and think clearly. The…
I limp over to swagman and put the rifle in the hold, joining the bagged rattlesnake and the busted up 50-cal machine gun. Walking back to the driver side of swagman, I lift a hand and shake my head, saying, "No, really I'm OK. Really. That's about …
All the pain and weariness fades instantly, feeling her body pressed tight against me. No girl has ever embraced me like this before. Not even that one time, and last time, I paid for time with one of Esco's girls. I stand there dumbfounded for what…
Initial Hx stuff relocated from character sheet (because it got too long)
Esco once helped me do something terrible. Pops had told me the "real" story about who my momma was and why she one day never came back. Turns out some cowboy kept her strung…
I gingerly climb out of the box truck. The adrenaline is gone. The headrush from balls-out putting everything on the line is fading. And the reality of just how tired I am and how much my body is hurting is really starting to scream.
I limp to the …
Seeing Mot's crue show up and start to surround the box truck is honestly a welcomed sight. First things first, though. Gotta deal with this snake.
Using my hockey stick, I intend to use the blade of the stick to pin the snake to the box floor jus…
I'll ask 2 questions and hold on to 1, ok?
What's my best way into the cab of the truck (remember I have the move Oh yeah!
What should I be on the lookout for?
A fugging rattlesnake? I think to myself as climb up into the box. But... this could be my lucky day. I need a driver to vacate a cab ASAP and what better way than Mr. Driver meeting Mr. Rattler. My next thought is what kind of box truck is this? Is…
As swagman pulls out left in a mock pass attempt, I leap from my perch on the front of the swerving jostling buggy with the intention of doing a simple shoulder roll into the back of the box.
30 seconds of nitrous and swagman is on the bumper of the box truck. Ziggy's henchmen must've been in a hurry scramblin' rides to come out and bargain, cuz the roll-up door is still up. This should make it easy-easy hitching a ride. The hard part wi…
Who doesn't want a box truck I think to myself? I flip Quiet's cannon and hand it back to her butt-end first. "You want a box truck? Awright, catch up behind it and I'll jump on and take out the wheelman."
I start tapping out a beat with my wrench …
