By the time my boots land on the van, I've already thrown Chaz' machine pistol away. I've never had a thing for guns, anyway. Well, except for this belt-fed bad-ass with the smoking barrel on top of this van. I intend to take this turret and then la…
As I see the turret lining up Mot's crue, I catch Motley's eye and warn him with a hand signal about the impending ambush and then leap-slide over the hood of the car and make a run for the turret, banshee screaming at the top of my lungs*. My wrenc…
What should I be on the lookout for?
I've been keeping my eye on the turret but as I see Motley look to be growing a pair, I begin scanning all of Ziggys men and the crue to see if there's anything about to happen.
I feel the sights of the 50-cal machine gun following my every step, but I ignore it. Just like I'm ignoring more of that We're Not Gonna Take It banter from Mot and Preen.
Just outside the block I turn around to watch and see how Motley handles hi…
Getting right with Pops? Yeah, that basically involves me apologizing and eventually doing what he says. It's not like Pops ever backs down, compromises, or changes his mind. Getting right with Pops is just me ending my attempt at defiance. Pop alwa…
A chick? I look over a Lala sitting at the bar with some of the other Amazons, and I feel some of my rage draining away. They clearly were up late and drank alot, but seem all business this morning as they get their heads right for serious and dange…
Somehow I managed to tolerate the sing-a-longs and dancing and revelry. The most disturbing of them being Motley's machismo-laced bravado of "We Ain't Gonna Take It". Well, he sure took it earlier in the morning. Took it like a pro. Hehe. I just sho…
Without a doubt, I think Motley knows Gigg better
Motley aka @will_nabors take +1 Hx. Since Motley saw Gigg unmasked, I think this will take Motley to +4 Hx. Your welcome for the XP.
As promised, I buy Last and her girls a couple of rounds at Diamond, but I make sure I'm gone before Sierra dedicates my song to her. I know there's no way I'll play that off if I'm there with her when that happens.
After leaving Diamond, I head do…
I catch Sierra as she's walking away so that Mot can't hear me. "Miss Sierra, I-I just wanted to say that I have many rememberin flashes of that day we met in the market. Not many girls come out to the junkyard, so I'm not that good at saying Hi." I…
I nod at Motley's suggestion we just ride together. "I can handle things for sure. Don't worry yaself about that. But I ain't dressing up like some sandsnake, and fugging Ziggy don't mean paying tolls to me. As long as your cool with that, I say we …
Gigg is being truthful about considering Esco a friend, insomuch as Gigg understands friendship, which is different than most people. He's never really had a friend, not in the classic case. All his life, he's just been ignored or rejected, except w…
I sigh heavily through my breather box, and shake my head slightly. I can't really follow all the politics of what Esco just shared, and I'm not understanding all the hard work done yesterday to get Ziggy in line with the presence of a turret and to…
Esco, I consider you a real friend. You do good here giving the gals shade and jingle, even the ones with little teeters and sprouts, and bein fair square with 'em. And you helped me out once with something that meant a lot to me. So, when Chaz told…
Esco's gal is running interference for him. Typical. It's his M.O., whatever M.O. means. It's the thing he does with his people. I'm not the kind of guy that sits around and drinks in a bar, so he'll have to do better than that. Plus, if he knew why…
As we near the cave entrance, I help Last and her crew get their bikes situated, "I have to go see a man about a Ziggy, but later tonight if you are around at Esco's I got some extra jingle and I could buy all ya'll a round or two."
Before she can …
Most of the time when I come to The Irons, I'm bringing some scavenge to try and sell in the tunnel market, and having only the minimal of lifestyle needs, that's where I also camp out.
Ziggy's gang is more than skittish, they are freaked out. Like they are seeing a ghost. Because Gigg was supposed to have been killed yesterday...
The Fat Man has long known exactly who Gigg is, and uses him from time-to-time when the delicacy of t…
At first I'm at a complete loss on how to respond to Last. No one has ever said anything like that to me before. No one has said sorry about anything that's ever happened. Even Chaz never said sorry about what happened to my momma.
My body is rea…
Hearing Last speak up stops me in my tracks, and I turn and look first to her and then turn to Motley and say, "So, you're the Pops here, huh? Fine. I'll keep it shady and just walk on through." I take a quick glance Preen's way, and say, "I ain't w…
