Des Platt

You wake up, cuddled up with your pet rock on the cushioned memory foam bed. Shit, did I sleep in again? You think to yourself as you get up from the bed, rock under your arm. You walk over to the broken mirror, where your clothes lay carelessly in front of it. In the mirror you see your sexy self in your 'Irish Wombat' boxers (Irish Wombat being some obscure punk band from the past), you gather your crap and get dressed. Heading into the living room seeing that one bird mutant and Irving watching some p0rno or something. Zaweri walks into the RV and heads over to the kitchen table disassembling his gun, mutter silently to himself.

Amy moves into a more comfortable position in her chair, then looks back at Des.   "Hey, whats-your-face, whatcha' doing?"   She asks, leaning over the back of the chair.

Drake leaves the shoe closet with a feeling of euphoria from the message he has received. He then goes back to his favorite past-time of watching old, ****ty movies on the TV with anyone else who hasn't grown sick of them.

Des walks into main cabin, rubbing the back of his bedhead ridden hair. "Hrmmhhey. Jus' woke up. Wha time 's it?" he says in a low, grumbly just-woke-up voice.

Des gives Irving a groggy smile. "Yeep. I'mma grab some breakfast. D'we got anny coffee?" he half-mumbles, walking over to the kitchen and throwing open the mini-fridge. His legs are bathed in the pale light that it gives off, and retrieves some canned juice concentrate, a banana looking object, and a fork from the refrigerator.

"I don't think we do, you wanna check?" Amy asks, going back to watching the movie.   For about the fourth time.    "Aaand he's gonna- Yep.    There we go."

Zaweri takes the pack of coffee from his armor's pocket and gives it to Des.

Des gladly takes the pack of coffee, with a mumbled thanks, and goes back to preparing breakfast. He pulls the tab on the can, revealing inside a block of vaguely orange-smelling slush. He turns the can upside down over the RV's blender, and the tube of orange inside slides out and breaks in two inside the blender. He tears open the coffee packet and pours the grounds into the blender, and then tosses in the banana looking thing. He replaces the cap, and sets the blender to liquify.

After a few seconds, a brownish liquid the consistency of toothpaste has been created, and he pours it into a nearby glass and stirs it with the fork. He sits down on the couch with Amy and takes a sip. It smells like a lemon delivery truck exploded inside of a coffee shop, but he seems to enjoy it.

"So what'cha we watchin'?" he asks.

"p0rn" Irving says sarcasticly. "An erotic space opera. So yeah, p0rn basically. It's sh*it, acting's pretty terrible, lost track of what's going on and what story there is it's crap. So yeah, one of the worst movies I have ever seen." and Irving goes on a rant on how crap the movie is.

"I signed up because they asked and I needed a 'Job' so I said yes. They asked me because I have a... 'Reputation' with the large bandits and Drug Dealer groups. So they might not attack us if they knew if I was here, but if they do. The survivors will suffer the consequences, I am VERY good at what I do." Irving said.

Your "VIP" gets into the RV from his brief stint of 'self-reflection' outside. "So like, I'm ready to head out when you guys are.", he says taking a spot on the floor behind the driver's seat. He grabs some trinket out from his pocket and toys around with it, most likely trying to pass the time until one of you starts driving.

Irving gets up and yells outside, "HEY, EVERYONE GET IN THE RV OR I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU HERE! ALSO THAT MEANS YOU, PEOPLE ON THE ROOF OF THE DAMMED THING!" He heads to the driver's seat and starts to thing.

The boy seemed too absorbed in his work to answer Seb's question, so he shrugged and turned his attention back to the surrounding area.  Before long, his ears perk up at Irving hollering away to get inside.  Rising to his full 7' height, he shakes the excess water from his fur before moving past the boy to the edge of the roof. 

"Looks like we're off.  Don't make me carry you inside."

He wasn't too sure what that kid's deal was, since he seemed out of place in a mercenary company, and Seb didn't recall seeing him around the compound before this mission. 

Inside, Seb drapes a towel over his broad shoulders to dry off.  Others may catch the scent of wet dog as he moves about the interior.  Reaching for his hip flask, he notes that it's very light, and only manages a light swig of the contents.  Damn.  Almost forgot.  He makes his way to the kitchen and begins to boil some water in a battered teapot, hoping nobody else has used it as he asked.  Otherwise, there may be some sick people soon enough.
