Title: The Highway [Only took 18 years]
Post by: ajwilli1 on May 04, 2015, 02:19:43 am
The Highway
"Backstory Notes"
All your life you've lived in the town of Hamshire, a small settlement that was built after the 2013 Crisis. The years there were peaceful until a large organization from the west moved into town, bringing with it all the commerce and prestige of "The Deliverance Company" some weird mix between a courier service and guns for hire. When they hit the scene nearly everyone signed up to see some action, including you, now it is going on your second year with the company; you've seen plenty of action and violence, as well as most of the east coast this side of what they call the Mississippi.
The company itself is built upon and out of a local roadside church that most of the town ignored, or blamed for their misfortune. They have a pretty sizable wall built around a large radius that contains the church and some extra land to house soldiers and cars.
Outside of local events, you really have no knowledge of the outside world or the history of it. You're like a bear cub in a large city, confused but still pretty dangerous.
The rule of thumb here is to not be a massive faggot, treat your fellow man how you'd like to be treated, and I probably kill all your characters at some point.

Yeah I know it don't look to pretty, but neither did the original Highway, once we get this started and enough people are invested. I'll upgrade the front page without telling nobody. [[Note: The first IC post will have a butt-ton more color, font style, etc... then this.]]

The backstory is so obscure nobody even knows what year it is. :P

Weapon: [Fire Axe] [Crowbar w/strap*] [Two random stones] [Spiked brass knuckles (worn at all times)] Uniform: [Standard Issue Deliverance Company Armor] [Leather longcoat] [Gas mask] [Balaclaba] [Kevlar gloves] [Kevlar boots] [Black cargo pants] [3 black shirts] [Tactical helmet] [Hiking backpack] [Duffel bag**] [Rifle scope w/strap, used like binoculars] [Makeshift shoulder sling] [clown mask] General Inventory: -Medical kit carried inside his backpack. Contains: Clean rags for bandages, antibiotics, strong/mild painkillers, and a plastic bottle of whiskey (for disinfecting wounds) -****loads of string which he carries around for no reason. -Dirty rags which he'll clean in the case that he needs more bandages. -A lighter -A glass shard with a rag wrapped around, making a shiv. Used for cutting items, rather than people. -A plastic bottle of bark tea. -A bunch of tarp. -A few handfuls of twigs. Perks: [Athletic] Traits: [Myopic] [Hoarder (Why the hell else would he carry all that random ****, and have an abnormally large amount of pockets/containers?] Skills: [Botany***] [Melee: 5] [Medical: 3] Backstory: He lived in the ass-end of nowhere in Washington until he was 12, where his parents and him ****ed off to the east coast. His parents died at some point during that travel, but he doesn't particularly give a ****. One day on his travels as a Deliverance Company member, he came across a church containing a crazy priest. The priest, somehow convinced him that Drake was a reincarnated priest of the Giant Cheese Monster cult, and it was his job to do the Giant Cheese Monster's bidding, and convert others to Cheesafarianism. (Don't worry, this is just for the sake of being silly and to continue the legacy of Giant Cheese Monster worshippers. I'll keep it from making him a SPESHUL SNOFLAK.)
*Carried over his right shoulder. **Carried over his left shoulder ***So useful /sarcasm.
8. Have fun or my self-insert Mary Sue god character will turn you into a being made out of Cheese Wheels
As a Giant Cheese Monster believer, I would like this to happen.
So, I created a character who is amazing in melee but is absolutely ****ing useless in ranged combat, in a RP where nearly everyone else will have some form of ranged weapon and varying skill with it. His armor and medical supplies are probably going to be damaged beyond repair and entirely gone, respectively, by the end of the RP.
Also, I'm assuming Deliverance Company armor is basically just repurposed SWAT armor.

I ****ING FOUND IT
Name: The Prodigy Age: 10 Background: He's the son of a couple of survivors who were bionics nuts and lived close to a science lab. When the cataclysm struck, they raided it for bionics and installed a lot of them. They met later and had Prodigy. When he was very young, he got shot by some bandits. His parents gave him the best care, and of course, the best bionics. When he grew up a little more, he showed an interest in the bionics that had saved his life. He taught himself how bionics worked and even learned enough surgery to install them himself. He has a lot of passive bionics to replace the functions he lost in the accident. He also has a bunch of other bionics that he installed himself, some that he even designed. Description: Pale and thin from staying in his workshop, with grimy clothes and an odd look to his piercing blue eyes. Inventory: t-shirt, jeans, jacket, backpack, water bottle Skills: [Expert Surgeon] [Expert Mechanic] [Master Electrician] Traits: [Weak] [Pale] [Savant] [Light Eater] [Fast Reader] Passive Bionics: Integrated Toolset, Enhanced Hearing, Joint Torsion Ratchet, Metal Skeleton (bones cannot be broken), Enhanced Capacitors (can absorb electricity to charge power banks) Active Bionics: Metabolic Interchange, Blood Analysis, Blood Filter, Finger-Mounted Laser, Fingerhack, Internal UPS, Leukocyte Breeder System, Electroshock Unit, Advanced Repair Nanobots (able to be targeted), Experimental Jetpack (limited and unreliable flight)

Name: Des Platt Age: 28 Gender: Male Race: Human (humans are my fetish)
Weapon: Nordic Shortsword, complete with leather grip and round hand guard. Two UZIs, one with blueish metal and one with red. The color does not change the way they function in the slightest and it just looks cool. Uniform: Road Warrior Breastplate: A bunch of old road signs hammered into the shape of a breastplate and tied together with leather strips. A huge red stop sign dominates the front and the rest have all had their paint removed. Long Sleeved Shirt: It's faded, red shirt with sleeves that go down to your wrists. Pretty standard attire. Denim Jeans: Nothing special, just some comfy jeans. Combat Boots: Something he picked up at the local military surplus store ruins. They've got way too many straps to be reasonable, but he thinks they look cool. General Inventory: A beat-up canteen full of some weird water-like fluid. A burnt photograph of a rock with googly eyes attached to it. The rock featured in the aforementioned photograph. A dusty silver Flippo lighter. Three used glowsticks. An ancient cherry bomb. A paperclip. Two pieces of string. A nickel.
Perks: [Quick Hands] [Rugged Good Looks] Traits: [Observant] [High Adrenaline] [Not Quick Anywhere Else] [Not Wise] [Quick To Tire] Skills: [SMG 3] [Sords 2] [Whiskey Drinkin' 17] [Hitting Stuff 4] [Dodging Stuff -1] [Takin' Hits 5] Backstory: Born and raised with a family of travelling mercenaries, he picked up quickly the ways of shooting first and asking questions later (except when that question was of pay). When his father was shot down and his mother ran off with some asshole biker dude named Steve, Des was forced to forge his own way in the world with a copious amount of edge and daddy issues. Not really, of course. He got along pretty well, taking odd jobs here and there with defending towns from desperadoes and that kind of thing. This job with the Company was supposed to be his last step into the big leagues of mercenary work.

Saturday, June 6th, 2058 New York City, NY, USA
"You know you didn't have to shoot my dealer, he would've just left me alone as soon as you pulled the guns on him.", the kid said moving closer to the crackling barrel fire. Rain beats down on the camp, large droplets of rain creating massive puddles in the crevices of the aged highway's tar. Icy wind has been nipping at your exposed bits all afternoon, along with being soaked in both rain and flood water you're starting to have enough of this job and you're just ready to head home.
Drake Ashford
You have just finished praying at your moldy cheese shrine in the RV's shoecloset, you think the fumes of blue(and black, purple, weird turquoise colored) cheese and 'dank' is starting to get to your head. You feel as if your Cheddar Lord and Selva has cleansed your Blue Cheese heart with his Fondue of Love. Before you leave you feel your Lord and Selva whisper something in your ear, "http://www.cheese.com/" With this message you feel like the Saint-Paulin of cheese.
Amy Greatree, Irving Vance, and Zaweri Runewright
Instead of freezing your feathers, nads, or 'MUSCLES' off; you instead went inside and put on a movie to pass the time as you dried or cleaned yourselves off. Zaweri disassembled is XM8 on the table trying to figure out what is causing his gun to stovepipe on him every two seconds. Meanwhile Irving sat watching the movie while doing tricks with his Mataba, and lifting a 85 pound weight in his left hand. Amy was silently in the corner patching up a fine pair of jeans they found while on the mission.
Zidia Valor, Gooious Maxis, and [@#!@#ERROR 404 JACK NOT FOUND99192@@!%^]
You're all out in the rain trying to stay warm and waiting for your VIP to finish his smoke before hitting the round. Zidia silently watches the stranger, leaning against the cold RV's exterior. Gooious Maxis is sitting out in the rain, absorbing the droplets that land on his 'skin layer'. M3InWhel #@j^^AC)(K 5FadeS 1N-@n%d-0ut 0f 3xist3nce.
Sebastian "Seb" Trask and The Prodigy
"Seb" and Prodigy sit on the RV roof, keeping watch on the horizon. "Seb" keeps sniffing the air as if he has a scent trail, but ignores it, then starts to sniff again; its unknown whether he actually smells an unknown or if he just likes the smell of pot (you can choose what you find Hobocop). The Prodigy is right behind him watching the road ahead that seems to stretch out to infinity, while keeping a close ear open for any sounds in the surrounding area.

Amy pushes the needle through the fabric, then puts the jeans down and looks over at the TV. "Oh boy. That again. Fun. We really need to get more movies." She mumbles, starting to go back to fixing the jeans, then sighing and leaning out the door. "Hey, hurry up will you? It's getting boring already."

Zaweri grumbles next to his XM8. He pulls the barrel off and cleans it. He puts it back on. "I'ma go test fire her..." Zaweri reassembles the XM8 LMG and goes outside. He walks off a bit, and rapidly fires it.

TV PARTY
The movie continues on, you wonder what its even called, its been stuck in the DVD player since day one... or has it? I mean no one really has gotten up or had enough time to swap the CDs out. Whatever. Its some weird Erotic Space Opera with blue aliens and some dude named Farmer Johnson.
Zaweri heads outside with his newly cleaned barrel and heads over to the edge of camp and just hold down on the trigger, the XM8 gently bobbing with recoil. *CHINK* A casing got caught on the guns slide as it ejected out, the bullet lodged pretty badly between where it feeds and ejects empty cartidges. Damn experimental weapons, when they work they're fantastic, but the rest of the time you might be better off with some antique from the early 1900s.

Rain. The bane of scent tracking everywhere. Seb couldn't pick much of anything out of this downpour besides the bouquet drifting from the RV's interior...and the faint sterile odor mixed with the usual human stench from the young boy sitting nearby. Not quite natural, and it made him stand out in a crowd to the large lupine mutant.
An ear twitches as it picks up the boy's tinkering. Seb tilts his head to the side, keeping one eye on his surroundings as he looks at...Prodigy, was it?
"What've you got there," he asks, his voice carrying a deep timbre, a slight growl, and a hint of a British accent.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

The Road Ahead
With your crew on board the RV you pull out of the campsite, taking care that you don't knock over the barrel that was still ablaze with old moldy newspapers and rotten drift wood that stunk of decay. As your driver (whoever at this point, I kinda want to get the show on the road and the dedicated Dunc- I mean "driver" still hasn't posted) gently turns the wheel, the CB Radio staticly screams to life, causing your driver to jump and take the wheel with him; the metal 'homelike' vessel violently spills its contents onto the floor, boiling tea kettles, papers, water, and passengers all unwillfully fall into the center, similar to how a [Insert Lovecraft Racism here] child ducks and covers during an atom bomb.
A loud metal thunk is heard outside, along with the blazing roar of a fire spilling out from its metal prison. In other words: You hit the barrel. With everything settling to a sudden halt as the RV crashes into a concrete divider, the CB is clearly heard, through the static-veil you hear a familiar voice. Ivan. His thick southern-accent standing boldly in the "static-blizzard", he tells you that its all clear. And that there hasn't been a single soul seen for miles.
Your driver straightens out the RV and takes off to pick up Ivan. While the group hopefully cleans up the mess.
Ivan
You've been camping in this musty fruit stand for two days, "Keep watch." They said, "It'll be relaxing!" They said. Well you say bull****, and next time Wolfboy gets road watch duty. All you've had for company is the sound of rain hitting tin, and a pile of moldy-mush that probably was once a pear; you've taken to calling this pile of putrid sweetness, Timothy, and Timothy doesn't betray or lie to you, he's also a great listener.
You take a quick look at your watch and see its time to report your status again, you flick on your jury-rigged radio, tune it to Frequency: [221.7] and tell them that the way is still clear. From what you briefly heard on the other end, it sounded like a "indoor-tornado" just ran through the RV, with all the clattering and clashing of pots and people. You shrug it off and just wait for a response.
Hopefully they're still alive, they're the only people you know that actually have a decent working shower.
Seb
As a lukewarm teakettle took a harsh liking to the back of your head, you remember that you left your friend Ivan down the road. And the scent you were smelling was probably him... hopefully.

Des is on his back, lying on the floor. His feet are still splayed on the couch, and he's got weird coffee-fruit shake all over him. His expression is of complete and utter stoicism, and in a deadpan voice he says, "Aah. My drink." He throws the glass across the RV blindly, and picks himself up.

"Agh, damn."
Seb growls in frustration as he scoops up the fallen kettle and slams it back onto the stove, it's battered shape deforming a bit more. He...may have neglected to mention that he assigned the big lummox to road watch duty, quietly hoping that he'd forget about the whole mission and wander on back to base. He probably should have remembered when he caught a faint whiff of his scent while on the roof earlier. That man does not bathe often, if at all.
No time for that now. He needed to get this done. He refills the kettle and cranks up the heat, firmly holding it in place by the handle and bracing himself against the ceiling with his free hand. Catching Amy's whine, he comments, clearly irritated.

Gang's All Here
Turfcat- Starting Over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F7GnVZzygg
"Good evening American wasteland, its another post-apocalyptic day on the east coast. Gloomy as all hell, the sound of looters and raiders pillaging in the distance. I'm you host Anthony Gladden, your one stop shop for some badass music, tonight in the playlist we have Tufcat's Starting Over to set the mood. Followed by El Huervo's Rust. Keep it eighties!", says your monotone host as his voice fades out as the sounds of gentle synth music takes the spotlight. It was quiet out on the road, the skies dimming into darker greys as your trip home progressed.
It'd been a long time since you've actually been home, every time you'd get back the company would send you on another errand as soon as you'd reach the gates. But this time was different, your boss spoke of some larger trip that they're planning. In your position this sounds great, but in reality you wouldn't mind staying at home for the rest of your lives. The East Coast ain't what it used to be, gloomy skies, "burning" rain, and mutants roam the surface 24/7; not to mention all the people you gotta worry about, Remnants, raiders, looters, and just average people trying to scrape by (but you honestly think the Remnants are the worst of the bunch).
You flick on your headlights as the Sun enters it's slumber behind those distant mountains, all you can see is the road ahead, and the sleek bodies of scurrying Trogs trying to find their next meal.
Home
El Huervo- Rust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfCO4c23dXI
Rain gentle patters against the RV's thin plastic-like windows, in the distance through the trees and tall grasses is a faint haze of light standing boldly out through the spaces. Home. You drive through a thicket of grass, behind it, a secret dirt road that leads straight up to Hamshire's gate. You heard your grandparents saying that this was a road that was once used by the resistance to transport firearms to the borders, and further into the past to transport booze.
Your headlights illuminate the front gate, the gate is made out of two chain link fences reinforced with road signs and other pieces of scrap, over the gate is a small wooden sign that probably belonged to a restaurant (It reads: "Welcome to Hamshire, Medieval Dinning in the Modern Ages No we don't serve vegans". You honk your horn and two guards appear out of a small "guard post" made out of bits and pieces of a ice-cream truck. They unlock the gate and you drive into the town.
The town itself wasn't really that big all things given, but it was still a decent size, shit some towns you've been to don't even have beds or a private place to go. So as quaint as it was, it was still leaps and bounds ahead of the "competition". Near the entrance gate is a bunch of tents and 'dead' RVs that have been claimed by the Earth, the poorer folks of the town live here, and built along the entry road is a small biker bar that Mrs. Marget runs. Further into the town is 'main street' and the suburbs, various shops, brothels, bars, and hotels sit crowded in the center of town. And in the "outskirts" is the Deliverance Co. HQ, built inside of a Church of the Lord, and its 'checkpoint' being a schoolhouse; on the church grounds are hastily put together buildings acting as armories and barracks, where you'll have to report to later tonight.
The kid stands to his feet and walks over by the counter, "Are you guys going to drop me off? Or are you taking me in?"
Reminder: Your goal is to get the info promised from Mrs. Margret when you drop off her kid.

Bar of Broken Mutants
I know what you're thinking, "Really AJ? Sugar Ray?" But this ain't shitty Sugar Ray (depending on your definition of punk rock), this is Sugar Ray when it was punk music. That and I wanted an excuse to use some music from the Road Rash soundtrack. And a dirty biker bar seems perfect for one of their 'earlier' and much better songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjb7UD7jPqM&list=PL6436D0A287991AA9&index=11
Irving and Seb with Mrs. Marget's son Mac in-toe. You walk past the few drunks relieving themselves on the pungent smelling entry walls. Inside was a crowded mad house of humans and animal mutants with no place to call their own, people sitting at tables eating pies and pretzels while chugging down beer, people in the corner of the building either in hushed whispers or making out. Almost everyone is dressed in some form of leather armor, which probably adds more to the horrid smell of sweat and cigarette smoke in the place. A drunken beagle-mutant stupidly stumbles through you guys as you enter the bar, falling flat on his face once he stepped off the bars porch. Mac instinctively dodges a bottle flung at him, "Really jackass that's how you greet your "favorite" waiter? Man I had a long day dammit!" He says at some tattooed biker dude who was ripped to the point his muscles had muscles, and everytime the man flexed it looked like his tattooed were flowing and moving. The man stands up from the table and puts Mac in a headlock and starts teasing him, "So where'd you find him this time Seb? With that damn dealer again," He looks at Mac, "Son I keep telling you that its nothing but a gateway drug, me and your mother are going to have a long talk about this with you." ((Hope you don't mind Hobocop, it seemed to fit the character you have going)) The man's name was Jared Margret, husband of Mary Margret, and the father of Mac Margret; the family of bikers are practically Seb's family at this point, with the only person not really liking Seb being their son.
Jared points to behind the bar with son still headlocked and tells the group the entered the building that his wife was in the back counting out what they made and brewing the next batch of her famous booze.
The radio lazily played its tunes while Zaweri tinkered around with his gun some more, hoping that something would finally click into place or that the recoil spring would fix itself. But after a little bit of tinkering he came to a final solution eliminate the jews *offensive humor* *offensive humor*, just going to the armory after they get what they needs and asking for a replacement part. You could probably exchange that bag of weed you got for something of higher quality and durability then your current recoil spring.

Seb raises his hand in acknowledgement, careful not to display his claws too prominently. Leaning an elbow on the counter, he gives a small recap of what happened.
"Yeah, damned fool dealer thought it would be a good idea to threaten your boy here..." he points a claw at the top of Mac's head beneath Jared's arm, "...with deadly force. Didn't have time to sniff out his intentions in a smoke shop full of smoldering green, so we had take him out."
Seb shrugs, almost helplessly.
"Mac tells me he would've surrendered, but I'm no mind reader. I just know what people think they're not telling me." He taps a claw on his snout for emphasis.
Pushing himself off the counter, he starts toward the back.
"Anyway, I'll need to see your brother at his shop later after I've finished up with this job. Ran a bit short on my medicine. We'll talk later."
He heads out the back, motioning for the others to follow.

[INTRO - THE KING OF HEARTS ACCOMPANIED BY CASH AND MONEY]
The man with very peculiar looks that hinted to a very peculiar taste sat along with four other ruffians guzzling down booze and promptly spilling it everywhere including on the sleeves of the man's relatively clean outfit. He rolled his eyes as the dealer, looking just as rugged, played out cards before the group. The dealer's eyes scrutinized the man with peculiar looks, as he was quite different than the surrounding men who were a foot taller than him, bigger, and far more threatening looking. The man looked at the cards as they slid across the table to the edge before him. The man fiddled with her mechanical gloves below the table.
Once all the cards were distributed for the quick game of 21, the man removed his hands from under the table with some difficulty. Around his hands, big, industrialized gloves that steamed from small valves on the knuckles. The barbarians around chuckled and sloppily pointed to the sight. The man's gloves were bigger than his own head, and deemed parallel to clowns who wore bigger shoes than their own feet. The man, however, did not flinch nor acknowledge the mockery and delicately, even with the gloves the size of an adult head, scanned his cards. A smile curved up his face.
"Hit me.... Hit me..... Hit me... Twenty-one."
The man repeated for several rounds, each time consistently winning. The barbarians grew restless and more agitated with each victory and even more money stacking up for the Man. After winning for the seventh time in a row and accumulating over two hundred dollars, the man wasn't surprised to feel the shower of a deck of cards being thrown at his face from the frustrated ruffian next to him.
"Ey, you tink'ya gon' steal all our mon'y and get away wit it? You's cheat!" The beast's breath smelt so intoxicated with cheap liquor, the man could feel himself catch a buzz.
The man plucked the King of Hearts off of his shoulder an slipped it into his long sleeve pocket. "Steal, no. Obliterate the competition and win the money fair and square? Yes. I'll do that. Well, I already did." The man then grabbed a mechanical fist full of cash, which was all of the cash on the table. Then he pushed himself out, the abused chair wobbled and screeched as he stepped up and started to walk away. That was until he could feel the grasp of a ruffian wrap around his arm.
"Oh no, we's ain' gonna let dat 'appen, ya see?" The other ruffians all stood up, setting there large mugs of booze on the table, which was a first. They popped their knuckles, necks, and other limbs. The man wiggled his fingers as the man grasping him pulled him around, the ruffians hands grasping his shoulder holding him firm as the beasts walked over threateningly "Who do ya think ya are?"
The man smiled.
"Jove, that's who. Not to forget my favorites co-workers, Cash and Money" Jove wiggled his gloves. With that one liner, Jove could already sense where this was going, as any other cheesy movie he had seen, he took the handful of money and tossed it into the air. Thankfully to the power of the mechanics in his gloves, the money flew up and spread out liberally. Bills flew along with winking coins in the light. He felt the grip lighten around his shoulder, which meant go time.
Jove placed his foot on the shin of the ruffian holding him and pushed his weight back to add inertia as he elbowed the ruffian holding him with both arms right into the gut. Hands released from Jove's shoulder, money flicked his brow. Seconds pass as the ruffian crumples over and Jove leaps forward, right fist extended, or "Cash" as it's formally known. Steam erupted from the glove back at Jove as it propelled him forward til it made connection with the rather foul smelling ruffian. The ruffian was knocked back, his hands raising to punch back but not fast enough for Jove's left fist, "Money", as it came in from the flank landing and smashing across his face. The foul ruffian spun around from the force and fell face first onto a nearby table smashing the dishes to the floor.
The other two ruffians who were standing by the table in shock and awe started sprinting for Jove. Jove took stance and prepped his gloves for another round. A foot away from being tackled, Jove pulled his right leg around over his left as he extended Money outward which promptly clothes-lined the first ruffians whose neck got caught around the wrist of the gloves and momentum shot him up, and then back down to the floor with a satisfying back-flop. Jove flipped his left leg over his right which got him facing the final ruffian.

THE AJ SEAL OF APPROVAL!
As Irving, Seb, and Zidia start heading to the back of the resturant a loud fight breaks out, where a man dressed in fancy clothes wielding steampunk looking weaponry, pretty much embarrasses his opponents using swift moves and throwing out quick punches. Within the course of a minute almost all the ruffians are knocked down with only one getting back up for another go around. Before another punch is thrown however a loud blast from a shotgun is heard and everyone in the bar ducks and covers.
Standing annoyed above the cowering customers was Mrs. Margret herself, holding a smoking sawed-off shotgun, "Alright, which one of you started it this time? Because whoever started it again is getting banned and paying for a new ceiling. My "silencing shots" are Hell on the ceiling." The ruffians immediately start pointing at Jove, "HIM! HIM! He's a'damned cheat!" "Mai moff, I fink he brook mah mouff!" Mrs. Margret looked at Jove and then back at the ruffians, then to Jove, then to the ruffians. "Alright this is how its going to play out, you two." She says pointing her empty gun at the ruffians, "Yer' banned. And you," she points to Jove, "You get to pay for the ceiling."

Jove lowered his his fists and fixed himself from fighting posture to fix, rigid, and proper. "My apologies, Madame. For the mess and the ceiling." He stepped forward and kicked some of the cash on the floor towards Mrs. Margret. "I'm sure the money on the ground will pay for it all, anything extra you can keep, and if there isn't enough money, well, I'm sure these fellas would be more than happy to pick up my tab. Right fellas?" Jove patted Cash into Money. The ruffians groaned in what sounded like agreement. Jove smiled and brushed himself off with his over sized hands. "I'll just escort myself out, it's been lovely, really." He walked, carefully moving around the broken dishes from earlier, and to the exit.

Seb rushed back inside as the heated argument reached a breaking point upon his ears, only to witness a...gentleman of sorts soundly beating his much larger (and clearly drunk by the smell) assailants into submission, along with Mrs. Margaret's trademark conflict resolution, much to the dismay of his sensitive hearing, as he was standing closer than he should. He took in the aromas of the scene as the gentleman made his exit; booze, steam, and heated oil mixed with a thinning heavy anxiety and a hint of...sweet, citric joviality?
Intriguing. A good showing in spite of the intoxicated state of the other contenders. It reminded him of...someone he used to know. Seb glances back and motions with his head at Irving and Zidia that he was going to follow the gloved brawler, stepping around the mayhem with deft strides as he follows the stranger out to the front lot.
Keeping a respectable distance, arms resting at his sides, he says, "Quite a show you put on there. Perhaps more than those blighters deserved." He pauses, quietly sniffing the air to try to gauge the stranger's general emotional state before continuing. "Forgive my curiosity, but you don't strike me as a local. I'm Sebastian Trask, Deliverance Company. What brings one like yourself to our neck of the woods?"

"Payment"
Black Flag- TV PARTY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3yUQFluNq0
With Zidia being the last of her companions to follow the 'sir-a-licious' man out front, Mrs. Margret approaches her. "You're with the deliverance company right? Don't get pissed but your payment ain't cold cash, its information, information that your boss is going to use. But knowing your types you'd rather have cash, and since I have to use said cash to fix up the place... well...", she pauses momentarily to figure out a better payment for her "best" customers. "Hrm... hows-about this, we got a few pricks down south of here robbing potential customers on the highway. You teach them a lesson, you can keep whatever they have and I'll let you drink here for free," Pausing for dramatic tension "Forever. Or for as long as I live! Hahaha! Alright but seriously are you good with the job?"
She also reminds you to give the info to your superiors first before you go out enacting vigilante justice.

Jove was about to leave, but turned his head to make sure he was the one being talked to. Sure enough, a mutant with the strong resemblance of a wolf in shiny, plated armor was trying to grab his attention. Jove flipped his whole body around and faced the inquisitor. "Thank you. When I start punching I don't stop until everyone's gotten a taste." He raised Cash and clenched his hand. "That or until someone's ceiling get's shot." Jove winked and glanced to Mrs. Margret, who seemed to be walking to him. Jove stuck his hand for a shake, "I'm Jove Mode. Sometimes, and by that I mean never, I'm referred to as 'The King Of Hearts'. A tad dramatic, but I think it fits. By the way, I'll try not to crush your hand- er, paw." ((Assuming they shake hands.)) Jove gives a handshake that to him feels weak, but to the mutant it feels like like a car compacter crushing down on the paw. He relinquished the grip and stuck his over-sized hands into his over-sized pockets. "As for what I'm doing here, that's a tough one to talk about." Jove's brow furrowed for a split second as the happy curve of his lips wavered momentarily, but then went back to the frozen positions. "Let's just say it's inexplicable good luck and bad luck for why I'm here."
"Wow, you are a proper gent arent you?" Zidia turns back to the rest of her companions "Well, lets get payed, and i think this fella might be good to show to our employers."
Jove's eyes dashed to the talking figure near the mutant, who looked cheerful, but Jove could sense something menacing beneath the metal exterior. "Employers?" Before he could follow up anymore, a man looking quite a bit like a blue, neon glowstick followed up behind.
Irving follows seb,"I agree," he says to seb, he turns to Jove "Names Irving, I get information for big influential figures." he says.
"That's interesting." Jove nervously laughed, somewhat Irving's outfit, but more because he felt a bit crowded and on edge by all these new people. "I'm Jove Mode." Then, Margret, who'd been walking to him for some time finally busted into conversation.
"You're with the deliverance company right? Don't get ****ed but your payment ain't cold cash, its information, information that your boss is going to use. But knowing your types you'd rather have cash, and since I have to use said cash to fix up the place... well..."[/color], she pauses momentarily "Hrm... hows-about this, we got a few pricks down south of here robbing potential customers on the highway.

Alright but seriously are you good with the job?"
"I'm not with the deliverance company, no." Jove's neck began to tighten, so he pulled out a large hand and delicately loosened his collar. He felt like he was burning up with all these people around. "But, I suppose if money doesn't work here, I have to pay my dues somehow..."

Des props himself up on the RV's couch again. The weather outside wasn't anything to really enjoy, and he really didn't want to try and work that monster of a DVD player they'd hooked up to the TV. Looking around, he takes in the RV's quirky charm, with its retro TV, fantastic bedroom, incredibly large floor space, and its plethora of stains in various colors that lined the carpet, walls, and ceiling. It gave him a feeling of unease when he first arrived, with all the strange outcroppings of culture and past adventures, but after a few days in the automobile he feels as though he's never felt more at home.
With a contented sigh, he draws his short sword and starts polishing it with his shirt sleeve. He doesn't get much work done because of how dirty the shirt is, but he just wanted something to keep his hands occupied.

Seb attempts to keep a straight face as Jove shakes his paw, but can't help wincing as his bones grind together. His lip curls in a grimace exposing sharp fangs and a strained growl escapes his throat. He pulls back once Jove is done shaking, nursing his paw as blood flow returns to it with a pins-and-needles sensation. "Nice...ah...hardware you've got there." He chuckles. "But, yes, as my eager companions have said, our outfit is always looking for more qualified individuals. Perhaps an opportunity to practice those skills of yours on more than just drunken buffoons, and for pay, or at least resources. It can't be cheap to maintain those pistons of yours."
He spreads his arms wide. "I'll leave the decision up to you. We'll probably be leaving tomorrow morning to take care of those raiders down south. Feel free to come by the church at the edge of town and mention my name at the gate. They should let you in without too much hassle."
Seb turns to Mrs. Margret. "Yeah, we'll head down south and clean those guys up tomorrow while they mull over whatever intel we're supposed to bring back. Need a resupply and some rest as well since it's pretty late now. Speaking of intel, what do you have for us?"

The Pit
You all take a seat at one of the empty tables near the counter as its the most empty part of the bar, Mr. Margret and son go around shooing people out of the bar as it was nearing midnight. They then started straightening up the place, picking up spilled drinks, scrubbing floors, sweeping, the works. "Well the information has to do with one of those "Sinks" that those archeologists are so fascinated about...", she pauses for a moment to expect a reaction but is only met with confused looks continues. "When those nukes went off back in 2013, they left these large pits as wide and as large as a sinkhole, heard they swallowed up whole cities when the initial blasts went off. But what's so "fascinating" and "important" about them is what's on the outside. Out from under the table she reveals a thin folder marked classified in bold red stencil lettering. She folds it open revealing pictures of science teams in Soviet hazmat gear crowded around what appears to be the edge of a cliff that has these large neon-blue crystals jutting out of the ground, about three stories tall; the next few pictures are the Soviets mining the crystals and holding up a large chunk to the camera with thumbs all up.
"Back when I worked as a mercenary to protect those eggheads I saw what was contained within and around the sink holes, as well as ways to enter one without having the life sucked out of your lungs or some other horrible thing happening. These crystals that they harvested were used in some... pretty scary sh*t, while I don't really wish a group like the Deliverance Company to have such power. A deal's a deal, and I can only hope that you aren't signing your own death warrants if they force you to head out on the mission." She scoots out of her chair and heads into her office, she takes one look back at the group as if to say some more words of warning; but shakes her head and slams the door shut. You can hear the gentle sound of her locking the door.

Seb takes a few minutes to quietly appraise the photographs, his wolfish amber eyes narrowed with concentration, mulling over what Mrs. Margret had said. Yes, he knew all too well the dangers of careless meddling with the strange and unknown anomalies of this world. Subconsciously, he massages his left shoulder, but catches himself and stops abruptly. With a sigh, he takes another drag from his flask.
"Yes, let's do that." he says to no one in particular, only half his attention on his surroundings. He gathers the photos into the folder and takes it with him as he exits the bar, staring off into space.

Jove slipped away in the midst of Margret's conversation. Not that he wasn't interested, just that he really needed some air for his clamping throat. Any details she spoke could be spared, he knew where to find the group. For now, he just needed to head back to his room and grab a few things and to think things over.
The rugged wall scratched Jove as he leaned against the building. Another group interested in him. As adventurous as the last. Just as dangerous as before.
The mechanical fingers wiggled. A woman screamed from the right side of Jove's brain. His blue eyes dilated, focused on memory.
As soon as it had come, it had passed and Jove removed himself from the wall and from his head as he started walking to the motel room he was staying at.

Cryptic Metaphor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKqrBc2C2XA
After a long and heartfelt talk at the bar, you all pile back into the RV and head back into the camp at the end of the road. Cruising through the empty night streets illuminated by dim streetlights, Seb flashes his ID to the guards out front and you enter into the 'compound'. You pull up into the crowded parking lot where a few barrel fires are going, with a few Deliverance Co. troopers keeping warm by the fire. The sound of old 70s music quietly echos throughout the camp, makes you feel like you're in Nam'. Once you all pile out of the RV you all go your separate ways.
Seb, Zidia, and Irving
You pass by the fires and head up the church steps into a stereotypical church setup, the pews have been stacked against the walls blocking the large stained-glass windows that depicted stories of Genesis: ranging from The Garden of Eden, to the Tower of Babel. Where the pews used to sit were now rows of tables with disassembled firearms on them, stacks of cash, and confiscated goods. In the far back in front of the altar was your boss Sergent Phillip, in a heated argument with the preacher that refuses to leave no matter how much your boss threatens him. You overhear the end of their conversation: "-that's why we need to start peddling this shi-", Phillip was cut off by preacher of the church. "We are in the Lord's house, I don't care how "beneficial" your scheme is, you are here because I let you stay here. I will not see the House of The Father be further desecrated by you or your men. That's final!", with that he left for his office in a huff.
You approach the Sergent's "office", "Ah finally! Hope you have some good news, the Bible thumper won't let us start moving drugs of any kind through here to ship back west. Besides that did you get the info from your friend?"
Zaweri
You leave the RV and head to the armory tent, hearing clattering and metal parts scraping against each other you assume someone is occupying the tent and head in. The man behind the foldout table counter hasn't noticed you yet, he's too busy going through rubber bins of greasy gun parts.

[JOVE ONLY UPDATE] Strange faces, in familiar places
You're heading down the quiet streets, your feet shuffling up dust from the road beneath you as you slowly trudge your way back to where you're staying. It felt like forever walking down that short stretch of road, studying your metal fists, with their gears, pistons, all its intricate moving parts where if one piece were to lock up or come loose the whole thing would cease to function. Funny... how delicate a weapon of such brutishness could be. You nearly run into the motel's second story support beam when you heard a cough coming from your left, "You alright son? You seem troubled by something. Trust me, you wouldn't be the first to have such problems in this land." A gruff voice spoke to you in a piteous tone. You look to your left and see a man dressed in a duster, something that Clint Eastwood or some western hero would wear. He has no weaponry (that you could see in this light, anyway) on him, not so much as a holster attached to his belt or torso. He had a large black Ushanka on his head with the flaps folded up, with a faded Soviet Star on the center of the cap. Part of his face was concealed by the dark, but from what you could see: he was a man maybe in this mid to late thirties, his eye that you could see was brown, and the hair that stuck out from under his cap was bleach blonde.

"Troubled?" Jove stepped away from the pillar and towards the mysterious stranger. "Aren't we all. I don't suppose your mind is in a state of peace, is it?" The blue eyes scanned the western-throwback in polite, unnoticeable scrutiny. "I suppose your from the west of the states. That have to do anything with it?" Jove pointed to his forehead in symbolism to the westerner's Soviet Star on his Ushanka.

Seb nods, placing the dossier on the table. "Of course." His voice takes on a reluctant tone. "Though...I'm not so sure sending so many operatives was necessary. Made it louder than it needed to be. We may see some backlash from the cartel in that region." He crosses his arms, resting a claw thoughtfully beneath his chin, voice evening out. "Speaking of, my friend has another job. Some raiders down south causing trouble for customers. Told 'em we'd go down there tomorrow to clear them out. May need to requisition some hardware from the QM. Could use access to scout reports as well to know what kind of opposition we're looking at." Seb hoped that the current crop of assigned recon troops were keeping up to date with their records.
He waits for a reply, anxious to press for information on why the company would be digging into something way over the head of pretty much anyone here.

Jove Update
The westerner chuckles, and pulls out a rolled cigarette. "Yep born and raised with my Russian parents, who came here with their Russian parents. Its basically a long lineage of Soviets that eventually 'cowboy'd' up as they say over there." He pulls out a match and strikes it on the wooden beam he's leaning on, lighting his roll and flicking the flame out of the match. "Listen. You probably know or don't know why I came all the way out east, I'll let that be up for your mind to decide. But I'll warn you ahead of time. You want to head North, ignore those "goons" they aren't what you think they are; they're something worse then any biker or jackass you've fought." He takes a quick drag, and leans off the pillar. "Let that little group you found take care of it, you don't want to be mixed up in what they're in. But... I don't make decisions for you Jove, that's up to you." The stranger inhales a good bit of his smoke before he flicks it into the darkness, he starts off out of the motel. Before you know it the man is already gone.
Sergeanto
The Sergeant shifts around in his office chair, it wobbling side-to-side with each subtle movement of the hips. "It was sort of necessary, the raiders in the region need to be told about whose running the region, and if that means showing sheer power through numbers so be it." The Sergeant slides the dossier over to him and fingers through it, stopping on one section that Margret never bothered pointing out. He chuckles and mutters something along the lines of, "So it is that easy." Tossing the dossier to the side he sits straight in his chair, "So what you're basically saying is that you want to fight some bandits.... when the thing we're doing this Friday is a large scale bandit raid on some pricks that have been harassing us." He pauses for a moment before looking you dead serious in the eyes, "Well I guess they do say practice makes perfect, while we don't have any "scout" reports on the region, we do know that there are some US Remnants lurking in that region. If so I can get you and your boys some actual firepower."
Title: Re: The Highway: Look who finally updated

Seb growls under his breath. Margret didn't mention that they might have been Remnants. "That'd be nice. We'll need it. Something for wetwork would be useful as well. Doubt we'd be able to take them in a pitched battle without tipping the odds in our favor."
He glances around, a bit nervous, his pointed ears flattening a bit as he flicks the clawtips of his right paw together a few times.
"So...ah...you want to clue us in on why exactly we're digging about in these crystal anomalies? Seems to be something outside most of our pay grades at least."

Jove stared at the empty space where the stranger was moments ago. The grit voice still spoke to him on repeat in his head, one phrase: "...ignore those "goons" they aren't what you think they are; they're something worse then any biker or jackass you've fought." The mechanical fingers twitched. Jove turned his head unsurprised that the man had already left, but still said strongly as though he was present, "The worst thing I've had to fight came when I wasn't able to fight. Talk about bad luck. Though I guess it's good luck now, huh." Jove shoved his gigantic fists into his pockets and started up the stairs to his room. He had to do a bit of thinking.

Jove slipped over a wad of cash, enough to pay for his stay at the motel. "That should cover it, you can keep the change." He gave a big thumbs up to the lady, old and worn out, working the register. He started walking out with his duffelbag of clothes and other necessities which he slipped over his shoulder as he walked out of the shabby double doors out into the windless day that was winding down. Jove looked to his left. Down that road he would find the church and the people he had just met. Another group... Or, to his right, north. The direction that the strange man had advised him to go.
The mechanical fingers twitched.
"Suppose it's best not to push my luck." Jove walked off the steps and began the long walk north.

Crystals
Your commander pulls some papers out of his drawer reading: "Munitions Request". He hears Seb ask about the crystals that The Deliverance Co. so desperately want, "I don't really know, some say that the Crystals have some ancient power held within, others say its what remains of those nuclear bombs that went off all those years ago. The Main HQ wants it and so we'll retrieve it." With that he scribbles quite a lot on the paper and slides it to you, a paper filled with a page-long list of weapons, ammo, and various tools that your Company has acquired over it's years of service.
Your commander then gets up from his desk and heads into his dorm, a room opposite of The Preacher's Office. Looking at the paper it says to take it into the Armory and hand it in to whomever is currently occupying the place.
The Recoiling
The man looks up from the bins and turns around to face you, "Da' you again, how many times 'ave I told ya' to get a better fecking gun!?" Clearly his irritation towards non-Soviet weaponry is becoming clearer and clearer each time you show up with a new XM8 problem. "Juw' and yer' fish-lookin' guns! Pa', back in my days we used reliable guns like AKs and RPKs, non of this M4 and XM6 shit!" He goes on about this ranting and raving as he fishes you a new recoil spring out from a rubber bin with the word's: "Zaweri's Special Parts Bin" scrabbled on it with felt-marker. He takes the spring out and places it on the table, while him ranting basically falls into the background, "-didn't have to replace the parts everie' two fookin' seconds either-"
The Uncoiling [JOVE-UPDATE]
Your thoughts occupied you for the long walk, thoughts of home, that dreaded event far East, those smokey gambling halls back in NeoVegas, and all the people you've left in search of some better purpose. But who was this Soviet-Hat wearing man, it was a peculiar case indeed and one that- wait a minute. You pause and look around, your surroundings are much different from where you were earlier; short and stubby oak trees, flowing plains, and the smell of burning bandit camps were now replaced: with a chilly breeze blowing in between snow covered pines and grasses, with only the smell of nature to keep you occupied. "Just how far north am I?", you wonder as you take in the surroundings.
Up ahead on this cracked and mostly nature reclaimed road you see a sign made of rusted metal with white paint smeared on it to spell out: "THE GREAT WHiTe NORtH" Further up the road you can barely make out what looks like a settlement, maybe someone there can tell you what or where you're at.

Seb tilts his head quizzically. Guess the conversation's over. He couldn't help but feel a bit paranoid about the whole thing, but there were other matters to attend to of more immediate concern. Namely securing this gear so he could get some sleep and visit the medicine shop in town belonging to Jared's brother tomorrow morning before heading out again. A completely legal establishment, he assured anyone who asked why he was in there so often, though he never elaborated.
Shrugging, he picks up the form and turns to leave, looking over what was marked off as he makes his way over to the armory, giving curt nods to any who greeted him along the way.

Des, having succumbed to boredom a few minutes ago, has his sword out and is balancing it on his palm. He's not having much success, and the sword clatters to the ground after a few seconds. "Dang." he says, and picks the sword from the dust and tries again.

Zaweri takes the recoil spring off the table. "And how many times do I need to tell YOU, I DON'T FUCKING USE RUSSKIE WEAPONRY! I'd rather die than touch the shit my father was shot with!" He leaves the tent, disgruntled and walks back in to the RV to tinker with his XM8 again. "That fucker with his russkie weapons... He should be glad I haven't shot him in the face yet..."

Seb's ears perk up as he detects heated words, their tone distinct against the backdrop of lightly inebriated conversation, casual roughhousing, and old rock music. The argument grows louder to his sharp hearing as he approaches the armory tent, and still a good forty feet away before he could discern individual words.
"...-imes do I need to tell YOU, I DON'T ****ING USE RUSSKIE WEAPONRY! I'd rather die than touch the **** my father was shot with!"
Up ahead, he sees the tent flap launch outwards and a frustrated Zaweri storming across the yard to the RV. Seb sighs through clenched teeth. Stubborn old fogies. Running his claws through the thick ruff of slate-grey fur along the back of his neck, he mentally steels himself for conversation with the armory's QM, knowing who it likely is already.
Entering the tent, his nose was immediately invaded by the odor of lubricating oils, faintly burning gunpowder, and a tang of fading aggression. Oh, good. He decided not to press the matter, keeping it strictly business was on his mind as he places the requisition form on the table, crossing his paws behind his back, ears flattening backwards slightly as he glances surreptitiously over the aged soldier's frame and the mess of hardware scattered all over the tent.
"Sarge handed me this form. Like you to fill the order, sir." he says in his growling tone, trying to suppress any inflections.

Orders and the New Morning
The Russian Weaponsmith glares at Zaweri, about ready to break "repair" his gun the Russian way when Seb and his cousin Ivan come into the tent.
He picks up the form, looks it over, grunts approval, and then heads over to some crates and starts fishing out holsters, ammo, magazines, and most importantly... guns! "DUDE BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU ARE ****ING DOING OR YOU'LL MEET A ****ING PILE OF ****ING BULLETS IN YOUR ****ING FACE!And can you give me an RPG or an Ak47?", Ivan shouts at whom I'm assuming is Zaweri; his uncle (the armory clerk or whatever) chuckles, "Oh you always were the eager one Ivan, buteh... no, I can't give you anything that extreme as of right now. Besides you're clearing out a few who don't even have armored vehicles, you'll be fine." He grunts and the sounds of nearly thirty weapons clatter together as he pulls a load of guns out from the bottom of the metal crate. Setting them on the table he slides them all apart like they were cards. A vast selection of AKs, Sniper Rifles, M4s, and two large caliber pistols all lay side by side, with the pungent odor of gun cleaning oil coming off every single one.
Picking up a pistol he twirls it around in his hand so the grip is facing away from him, he extends it towards Ivan. "But you can have this cousin, its called "The Bear". A Russian made version of the Desert-Eagle, have a look." Upon closer inspection you see that it isn't magazine-based, but instead uses a cylinder system like a revolver, on the grip is a Soviet Star and the whole gun is encased in red and silver chrome. You also note how heavy it feels in your hand, like you're carrying a metal bar or something.
He then looks to the rest of the group and hands another "Bear" to Seb and tells the group the following: "Since I can't give you RPGs or anything explosive as that's being reserved for tomorrows raid, among other things, I'll give you these. As you know 50. Calibers are no joke, they were originally designed to get rid of American carbombs back when we first invaded; so instead of taking out carbombs, you could take out the engines if you shot it enough, either causing the car to die or to have it explode in glorious flame!" He raises his arms at the last notion, sounding generally excited about all that is going on.
He shuts-up for a moment and lets you peruse the rest of the weapons on the table. You have three AN-94s, an RPK, Mosin Nagant, three M4A6s, and enough AK-47s for the whole group. You pick up a gun and he'll tell you about it, when you got all you need just say your goodbyes and we'll fast-forward to tomorrow.
The Great White Border [Jove Update]
Snow begins to fall the closer you get to the dimly lit settlement, the closer you get the clearer the village becomes. You can see a series of small trailer homes all arranged into a cul-de-sac, main street is covered in snow with a saloon like building aglow with red neon lights with the sounds of laughter pouring from it, next to the entrance is a clinic with a wooden sign saying that the doctor is in, and most of the rest of the town looks like something out of a Christmas post card. All the lights hazily cut through the fog of snowfall, you can hear trees falling somewhere far in the west, and you barely see anyone in the town.

Des has advanced from balancing the sword on his hand and is now attempting to balance the sword on his nose. He's getting quite good at it, too. Sometimes he can keep the thing up for maybe twenty or thirty seconds before it falls to the ground, nearly stabbing his own feet or those of passersby. So far nobody's gotten hurt, so he continues. Maybe he'll join up with a roaming circus or something after this is all said and done.

Ivan's sudden appearance followed by his invasive odor startles Seb, his hackles raising slightly, but he dare not say anything untoward or make any aggressive sounds. There was no way he was going anywhere with that man again until he'd had a very long wash. Going on ops with a larger group than he was used to was stressful enough. Didn't need people smelling ****ing rancid at the same time, attracting all kinds of attention.
He hefts the massive revolver up with one paw as it was offered, the grip comfortably filling his grasp. He opens the cylinder and stares down the empty chambers, gently spinning the cylinder around as he does so. Pushing it closed, he lifts it up testing the weight and sighting down the barrel, noting the accessory rail on top.
"Good sights...heavy and balanced slightly towards the front of the barrel." he mutters. Pulling the hammer back, he dryfires, the trigger pull smooth and crisp with a surprisingly short reset. The kind of trigger you'd find on a match-grade firearm for competition purposes. A real masterwork. A subtle grin spreads across his muzzle as he turns the pistol over once more in his paws, and he can't help but notice how well the weapon fits him. Being a big wolf-man, it was difficult finding handguns that fit his paws well, but this was just about perfect. It made him a little nervous thinking about using this thing one-handed like he did with his Anaconda on occasion to great effect, but it might be doable considering it's weight.
Slipping the Bear back into it's holster on the table, he glances over the spread of rifles. "Wouldn't happen to have a can for any of these, would you?" He gestures across the lined-up muzzles of each rifle to emphasize his point.

Chilly this far up. Jove had been walking for a while, and he desired to eat something regardless of origins or where it came from, but he wasn't feeling like getting into trouble in another "saloon". For now, it was better to find out where he was, perhaps hitch a map off of someone and get clearer directions north. Well, that would imply he knew where the hell he was supposed to be going. He trudged through the snow. The all-too organic feet were feeling numb, but his hands didn't get cold at the very least. Actually, they were rather cold. He just couldn't feel that.
*BANGBANG*
The mechanical wonders knocked on the door to the clinic, much harder than Jove wanted but he couldn't control everything now could he?

Fine, fine, we'll cut to the next scene you lazy buncha a-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMUnbNPCoSw
Alright you feel time pass as you all pile into the RV and sleep the day away, the weaponsmith that mainly Hobocop talked to provided him with plenty of info and ammo on each gun. But in order to save time so you guys don't get bored, here it all is in short hand: [They don't jam] [Most of the AKs tend to overheat after prolonged fire] [The M4s are most accurate] [Mostly flavor text about lore about the war years ago, anyone who wants said lore just PM me and I'll write up a one-sided conversation from the weaponsmith telling you about these weapons]
You all awake to the sounds of Deliverance Company soldiers eating breakfast, getting weapons, and loading up their vehicles for today's raid on those damned raiders. Sun shines through the tattered RV curtains. You remember that you need to take out those bandits that lie outside the town first before heading north to the grand battle.
The Doctor [Jove Update]
The door swings open sending a mist of snow into clinic, in the doorway stands a man, medical mask on, blood stained apron, white surgical gloves, slicked black hair, and tired looking eyes. "Alright, come in, come in, take a seat on that couch by the fireplace and we'll begin. I think I got some tonic in the back freezer." The man leaves the door way and heads deeper into the clinic, you can hear his heavy footsteps thumping somewhere in the back followed by glass bottles and ice being moved about. Inside the clinic its quite quaint, to the right is a small fireplace room with a TV mounted over the fireplace, with some couches and rocking chairs. And to the left is a desk with an old Prabble II Computer that lights the desk in a sickly green glow, and behind the desk leads into what looks like a checkup room.
You hear the footsteps grow closer as he appears again holding a bottle of scotch with a glowing orange liquid swirling around in it, "Alright this'll solve whatever is going on around your balls, just take two swigs of this a day and it might clear up within a week or two, and also a piece of advice from me; stay the hell away from the Red House down the street this time. You can either pay right now or I can put it on your credit."

Jove held the bottle. He looked at it's confusing ingredients list with a quizzical look, then looked to his crotch with concern, and then back up to the doctor with fear. "I believe you're mistaken," Jove laughed rather nervously as he held the bottle away from his abdomen. "I'm just here for directions, not for a pickup. So please, I don't need this." He held the bottle out with his as-elegant-as-they-can-be-metal-fists.

Organ Donor [Jove Update]
From what you could read on the label, its a potent mixture of morphine, anti-radiation drugs, and a shitload of Viagra; the warning on the label also reads as such: If you experience any swelling, vomiting, sweating, convulsions, hallucinations, migraines, random combustion, or a erection lasting longer then 4 hours please consult your doctor.
The doctor lifts down his mask and looks at Jove with eyebrows raised. "Huh... normally people come in here because they got the clap from the 'local nightlife' down the road. But if its directions you need I can tell you all about the area.", the doc takes the bottle from you and sets it on his desk. "So further north you may or may not hit Montreal and that place is pretty bad this time of year... with its 'Love Fest' they got going on this year; which is nothing but a giant rave. Um *tsk-tsk* to the uh... south you got Burlington which is nothing but a shelled out town filled with small tribes, might be a good time. A little bit further to the east you got Maine, and finally west you got more border and eventually you'd hit New York." He takes a seat in the metal-chair behind the desk, it scraping across the wooden floors. He takes the bottle of tonic and shoves it in a bottom drawer, then pulls out some papers that he then begins to scribble on. "And... if you got the stomach for it, I got a job in recently. From my fellow Doctors out East, probably the same ones that fixed up those hands of yours. If you're interested I could give you the details."

The wolf mutant rouses from him slumber, sprawled on his side on the floor of the RV, his armor in a rough pile next to him, wearing only a simple dark green shirt and brown cargo pants underneath. Cracking an eye open, he snorts, clearing his nostrils and catching a whiff of the food being served outside along with Ivan's unwashed filth not too far away.
Rolling his 400-something pounds of muscle and bone to all fours, he stretches and loosens his aching muscles with a yawn, vaguely cat-like. Seb had woken up a few hours prior to take a drink from his flask before returning to sleep. A habit he'd developed over the years. Scooping the treasured container from it's resting place nearby, he sits up, cradling it close and running his claws across it's tarnished surface for a few moments before taking another swig, shuddering at the bitter taste, and getting to his feet, donning his armor and heading outside to grab something to eat, preparing for the trials of the day ahead.
He returns from the mess tent with several plates of some kind of meat and eggs and a platter of battered metal cups filled with water balanced in his claws which he lays out on the RV's kitchen counter, the Bear holstered against his torso, and eats his own portion while scrawling a rough note with a scrap of paper and some charcoal for the others to read once they woke.
'Heading out to take care of something in town. You lot eat and start loading the equipment. I should be back before you're done. And get Ivan cleaned up. Please.
-Seb
Satisfied, he secures the note beneath his empty plate and leaves, walking into town and taking in the sights, sounds, and smells as it comes to life for the day. Local merchants open their storefronts, and residents come out to tend their gardens or head out scavenging for things to trade. Some greet him cautiously as he passes by, a bit intimidated by him but recognizing his service to the community, but others refuse to make eye contact, and he could smell their distrust, a subtle twist distinct from those who were more friendly. Whether that was because of his association with the Deliverance company or because he was a mutant, he wasn't quite sure.
Seb was moving to one place in particular, a hovel with a crudely painted sign on aluminum siding out front reading 'Sky's High Smokes', the very top of a greenhouse visible behind it. The local medicine man, and Jared's brother. The smell of rich earth and fresh plants reaches his nostrils as he gently pushes the door inward, a salvaged bell ringing signifying his entry. Inside, the desk looked unattended. Hm. He was probably out back doing his rounds.
"Skyler?" Seb calls out. "Here for a refill on my prescription." He places an empty satchel on the counter and waits, straining his senses for approaching movement out back, but didn't dare intrude, not wanting to hear another lecture on the particulars of cannabis cultivation and how his musk interfered with proper air transfer. Or something.

Des stirs from his sleep, and grumbles something about a quickly fading dream. He opens his sleep-fogged eyes and finds that he'd fallen asleep on the floor of the bedroom, halfway to the bed. He didn't even bother to take his armor off, apparently. He sighs, and picks himself off of the soft carpeting and gets to his feet, the clanking of armor announcing his awakening. He stretches out his arms and yawns long and wide. Finally he rubs his stubbly chin and shakes his head to really wake him up, and he gets started on the new day.
Des picks his way around the various snoozing RV-mates in the cabin and slips out the back door with as much grace as a man wearing a bunch of road signs can. Shutting the side door behind him, he follows the sound of food and cooking to the tent where the company men ate. He slips into line and waits to receive the first hot meal of the day. The week, too, if he remembered correctly.

Drake had actually been awake for awhile now. He was just too lazy to get up, but now the shuffling and clanking from his fellow Deliverance Company and the smell of delicious food has woken him up.

You hear some rustling in the backroom, followed by the crash and banging of metal tools. "Sh!t, fcuking dammit!" Suddenly out from the corner of the doorway in the back, a young face pops out, definitely not Skyler. "You're hear for a prescription? Could I get a name or something, Skyler hasn't really taught me much about this." The kid says approaching the counter dusting off mulch from his faded-orange apron. He looks no younger than fourteen, with freckles blending into his tanned skin, and curly red hair that stretches below his ears.
The Breakfast Club
Des and Drake, the only one of their group to need morning sustenance head off to the mess-tent to get some delicious, wholesome, and very American bacon&eggs even though their wolf friend Seb already brought them some food. Guess they aren't really "awake" in the morning.
Anyway...
They take their spot in line, behind some more 'hefty' fellows that look like they could cut some portions out of their daily intake. I mean sh1t, its an apocalypse and yet these guys are chubbier then that fuk that advertises tires. Must be radiomen. After some moments they head up to the serving table, the heat lamps warming all the breakfast delights like: bird-mutant eggs (is this even humane?), Molite bacon, and finally salient-green made toast with wheat germ for texture. Yes, the food benefits here are "great".

Seb looked down at the young lad, eyebrows raised and a quizzical look across his features. Skyler hadn't said anything about taking on an apprentice. The wolf mutant's eyes darted over to the door leading out back as he scratched the underside of his muzzle and let out a reluctant sigh, not having the time to wait much longer. Hopefully this kid was a quick study. He looked directly back at the assistant.
"I'm Sebastian of Deliverance Company. Skyler and I have a...special arrangement. He may not have mentioned it to you yet."
He nudged the empty satchel across the counter with a claw, continuing with a deliberate tone.
"What you're looking for is an herb with thin, long, leaves tapering to a point. Dark red in color with a greyish underside. They'll smell like turpentine, so don't breathe deep or you'll be out for a week or more." His tone lightened, a hint of amusement crept in. "Sky has probably put some already dried and prepared under a 'nice' label representing me."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7dTBoW5H9k
Drake: The eggs tasted great, they had a slight smokey tang to them with a hint of gaminess that gave it a real punch. But when Amy walked into the room, grabbing a plate and chowing down all you could think was the following: "Jeesus Christ! You're technically eating her own children... or period? You don't whats worse. Maybe are the mutant eggs from a non-sapient breed of mutant bird. What if its toxic or what if you're allergic, OH GOD! WHAT WILL SHE THINK OF YOU NOW! AHHHHH-*this continues on for a long while*"
But alas you show no emotion, congrats, you are now Birdie Hitler. Bask in your new title.
Amy: The bacon was perhaps the baconiest bacon, you've ever ba- you mean tasted. It was pretty good up until you see Drake eating what could be unhatched bird-people eggs. He's not even batting an eye, either they're pretty damn tasty, or he has an agenda against your people.

You have some terminal condition or something?" He leans down and pulls out two pill bottle-sized vials all with dried, crushed, and a pretty strong odor. On the label is a wolf, that vaguely resembles the tall, handsome, thick-furred, commander only known as Seb.
"Well here it is, all ready for consumption or what it is that you do with it. My master said it was, "On the house." So don't worry about payment."

I AM NOW BIRDIE HITLER. FEAR ME.
The eggs tasted good, but would've tasted better with some cheese. This train of thought leaves Drake wonder if there are cow-mutants that produce mutant-dairy. Drake makes a mental note to keep an eye out for such blessed mutants, if they exist. And he'll enslave them to produce mutant-milk to produce a horrifying combination of holy and disgustingly mutated cheese.
Drake continues to give his master-level pokerface, and his inner mind eventually stops giving a fack as well. He wonders if he should torment Amy by describing the eggs' taste in disturbing detail. He decides against it. He's not that evil. Yet.

Amy looks at Drake for a moment, wondering what the fück is wrong with him, then goes back to bacon. Because bacon is the best. "This is actually kinda good. Could do with a bit more salt though."

"Something like that," he replied to the boy's question. "I make a tea of sorts from them. Calms my nerves. I get...ah...violent otherwise." A sour twinge of regret surfaced at the thought, and a frown flickers across his lupine face for a split second before vanishing, replaced by a small grin as the vials containing the herb were produced.
He uncorked one of the glass vials a respectable distance away from his face, instantly catching wind of the herb's trademark turpentine odor. That's the stuff. Smells like ass and tastes equally awful. Closing the vial, he stows both in the satchel, placing the bag on his belt.
"Thank Skyler for me. And give...or pass along a message if you would. Prep a few living Blood Weed planters for transport. I have a feeling I'll need them in the near future."
He gives a casual salute as he departs, making his way back to base camp.

[[Sorry for the lack of updates, been writing lore, getting the main quest plotted, but rest assured, no matter how delayed or "dead" it may seem. I'm not going to write any other thing until The Highway actually gets an ending.]]
Lets get on with it!
Seb: You head back into camp, as you enter into the base you're stopped a fellow soldier. "Hey, you're taking out those remnant fucks right? Boss told me to give you this permit, it'll let you leave the town without any hassle from the guards. On the back of the permit are your orders after you've dealt with the situation." As quickly as and plot conveniencey came, he just as quickly left to continue being irrelevant to the plot your life.
Orders
You turn the permit over and read the following:
Your orders are to report back to base camp to receive your anti-vehicle armaments for the raid on Leto Camp at 1600. Make sure you report back before then.

Des finally decides on what to eat, and after seeing that Amy had entered the vicinity, he grabs a handful of 'bacon' and sits down with the others. "How'd everyone sleep?" he asks, half interested in the conversation. The rest of his attention was focused on eating breakfast.
Title: Re: The Highway: Holy **** I need to update more
Post by: Hobocop on June 26, 2015, 06:56:22 pm
Seb committed the new orders to memory, then stowed the permit away in one of his pockets. Striding across the yard, he caught sight of a portion of the group under his 'command' having a bite to eat. Glossing over the fact that none of the weapons requisitioned last night had been loaded into the RV yet, he took a seat at the group's table, propping his muzzle up on one paw.
"We've new orders, you lot." he announced in his resonant, growling tone, and waited to make sure those present were paying attention, looking directly at the joker in the gas mask who smelled of old cheese in particular.

Des finishes off one strip of bacon, frowning slightly at the unusual consistency, and then turns to ask Seb, "Well, don't keep us waiting. What are the orders?" He waves around half a strip of bacon as he talks to emphasize his words.

Seb leaned back and stretched. The chair he was seated on creaked under his weight.
"We're to report back to base before 1600 hours today after we take out the remnants down south. We're loading up on anti-vehicle hardware then for the raid on Leto Camp."
He looked around the table at each person in turn with a stern expression.
"Means we haven't much time to screw around. Finish eating and load up the RV, then we can get to doing what we're paid for."
He stood up, strode across the yard to the armory tent and began ferrying rifles and boxes of ammunition to the vehicle.

[[Also I've been padding out this intro, sorry if I'm cutting anyone off, but we really need to get this going.]]
What felt like an eternity
After skipping the ARRRRPPPPEEEE loading up the weapons, crates of munitions, and loading up the "combat-ready" RV with enough rations to make a prepper blush. You take off out of the town, waving your tear-filled handkerchiefs out the windows as you speed down the dirt road to the gate. The gate KEEPAH SENDS YOU TO DA' BLACK HOL! keepers open the gates, and you obviously zoom out the doors.
And instead of giving you a choice on where to go, your DMautomated plot-device driving systemGod himselfA block of cheeseSeb overcome by the feelings of dealing out vigilante justice heads towards where the remnants are. The forest becoming nothing but a green and brown blur, as you speed onto the long asphalt road that leads you into the tall green grass fields.
You start to slow down to cruising speed as you drive out of the forest and into the previously mention field, it stretches on for miles and miles, tall (green) grass dances with the wind like waves, and rolling hills go on beyond what you can see. The sky is bluer then it has ever been, with a few puffy white clouds hanging high in the sky. Outside you can smell the clean morning air, with just a hint of burnt tire. Down the road is a lone standing billboard that has been partially reclaimed by nature, at it's base is the camp of remnants, with a radius of grass that has been burnt away that's about the size of the camp. The camp has a few buggies parked around the billboard, with three (forest-digital) camopatterned tents set up near the 'edge' of the camp site.
You can see four people standing in the road near the billboard, you can't make out any details from this distance.

So, they were off to handle the remnants. Seeing as how nobody seemed to bother to step up and drive the RV, Seb took responsibility, mildly uncomfortable in the driver's seat due to his large frame and digitigrade leg structure.
As he drove, his mind wandered. He wasn't sure what to think about being placed in a command role by the powers that be. Content as he was in the forward recon unit, the news that he was to be promoted came as a shock considering his shaky reputation around town beyond the immediate circle of Mrs. Margaret's family. Although, he thought as he quickly glanced over his shoulder, considering the...ah...quality of those placed under his command based on spending the past several days with them, he wondered why he was surprised at all. The wolf mutant began to really appreciate the leader of his old crew before he came to Deliverance Company. Leading around a group this dysfunctional was like herding cats, and he wondered how his old leader dealt with it. A smile crept onto his face as his thoughts returned to those times, remembering all sorts of shennanigans, their colorful personalities, and the joys of plans both perfectly executed and gone awry saved by quick improvisation ...before their lives were torn away. His ears folded back and his paws tightened around the steering wheel; the worn synthetic material creaked from the pressure. Pushing the memories away, he returned his full attention to the road.
Their scent came through from the outside long before he could see them on the horizon. The faint cornchip stink of human sweat carried on the wind. As the remnant camp came into view, Seb pulls off the road, stopping a good distance away. He was sure they had seen the RV, as there wasn't much out here on the open plains to hide a vehicle behind. That didn't mean that there weren't other ways to gain an advantage. Standing, he enters the main cabin of the RV while drawing the Bear, loading it with huge .50 caliber bullets as he spoke.
"They're outside, right in the middle of the road. Remnant ****s. I've an idea of how to handle this situation, but I want...or suppose I want to hear your input first."
He lays out the situation from what he could see at a distance to the group. "Options?"

Seb snaps the Bear closed having finished loading it and inhaled sharply through clenched jaws, turning his gaze upwards as if pleading with a greater power to deliver him from this nonsense.
"Anyone else?" He waved his free paw around the cabin, inviting input from others.

"We could check the RV for a pair of binoculars or something similar to scope them out, see if they're friendly or, take them out from a distance with one of these rifles here." Irving says. He pulls out his Mataba and pops the cylander out, "If we plan on taking them out please don't kill them all, one of them may have some helpful information."

[[Really liking this group. Yeah its going a bit slow, but **** at least its consistent and still going after 13 pages lot better then Dramabomb Road I'd say.

"Them camping at the side of a road and hassling people passing by would imply that they're not exactly friendly. But..." Seb points a claw in Irving's direction. "...I like it more than speeding headlong at a wall of bullets in an unarmored vehicle. They may be more agreeable if we wave our authority around instead. Might be able to have a little chat, convince them to **** off without a fight."
He swept his paws down his torso sheepishly.
"However, I...may not be the best one to speak to them."
A weight settled in his chest as he was torn between the risk of being shot on sight himself, his thoughts drifting back to Mack's dealer, or having someone even more socially awkward speak to the Remnants.
"Right...anything else?"

Post by: Rhodri on July 11, 2015, 10:53:47 pm
"Convincing them to fack off may make them go away, but that's all it does. They'll just start doing the same shit somewhere else for less prepared people to deal with, or even come back here even stronger. I say we kill them here and now, and we could keep one alive, at most, for interrogation or whatever. And even then, I hope we can fuck him up a little."
"And fine, no badass moment of running them over, *sigh*"

Des sits up in his chair and breaks his silence. Pulling one of his UZIs out, he traces out a line in the air with the end of a barrel. "Okay, how about we combine the plans? We pull up nearby, as close as we can get without setting them off, and appear to be giving them a diplomatic 'hello'. We send out the least threatening person aboard while the rest of us hunker down near the RV's windows and roof access." He looks up at the others. "Once our trojan give us the cue, we open fire. It's a dirty tactic, but it might work."

Seb holsters the Bear and pulls out his Anaconda, confirming that it was loaded. Satisfied, he snaps it closed and puts it away.
"Fair enough. Zaweri's on point in the driver's seat. The rest of you lot hide in the RV until the signal is given. I've stealth training, so I can find a concealed position in the grass near the camp with..." He wraps his claws around the RPK propped up against a nearby wall, easily hefting the LMG up. "...this here and lay down some suppressing fire should it go sour." He grabs a drum magazine from the ammo stockpile and loads the weapon. "I'll get off here. Give me five minutes to get into position before moving out. Clear?" The wolf mutant pockets two extra RPK magazines and looks around the cabin expectantly, positioning himself near the door leading outside.

Seb gave a casual salute.
"Right. See you soon."
He slipped outside and begins crawling on all fours through the tall grasses, the RPK secured to his back, with such fluidity it was as if he were always meant to move this way. The strands of green grew thick, completely obscuring his vision of anything but the sky above and a glimpse of the billboard, but he hardly needed it. This was his element. The reason why Deliverance Company even picked him up to begin with and what he spent the last year doing in their ranks. He felt liberated as he allowed his senses to open up, his ears swiveled about and he constantly sniffed at the air, taking in every detail; the aroma of the earth, small burrowing animals scampered throughout the plains, the wind that rushed through the carpet of grass carrying the smell of life...and that of his prey with it.
He found a position a good forty meters or so away from the road at the edge of the burnt circle of grass, the traces of the fire irritating his nostrils, with a relatively clear sightline to where the group of Remnants were standing. He laid prone, deployed the RPK on it's bipod and waited, almost perfectly still, with his ears folded flat against his skull. Watching, waiting, and listening for the sign to spring into action.

"Please Help, my friend is "injured"."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19vApPwWqh8
Everyone:
Zaweri "The XM8 Fetishist" gently applies pressure to the gas pedal, the RV gently rolling towards the Remnants down the hill. Everyone is feeling on edge about this, and the tension is laying itself thick upon the crew. The RV starts to pick up speed as it cruises down the hill, two of the Remnants scamper into the tall grass, leaving only one in the road. He clutches his hip, and puts his hand over his face. Pretending like he was just attacked.
Seb can see one of them just mere feet across from him, the stink of blood, sweat, and gun powder reeking off the 'forgotten soldier's' aged gear. If he pulled the trigger now, this man would never see it coming. Taking him out of the world suddenly, like he did to his victims.
As the RV approaches closer, the "victim" starts moaning and groaning, "Puh-Please.." He struggles out as he starts approaching the front of the vehicle. "My friend is injured, three raiders from up north ambushed us and took our gear, please he's right over here, we need help please!" He lifts up his face, revealing his ugly fat mug, scars, mud, and blood caked in-between the crevices of fat. He notice's that, you're not buying his pleas for help.

Seb suppresed a snarl as the Remnant trooper took cover directly in front of him. His claw rested on the trigger, the sight zeroed in on the coward before him. It would be so easy to squeeze and end the life of this 'man'. However, he had another idea.
Shooting a quick glance at the road to see the troopers distracted by the incoming RV, he released the trigger and rose into a crouch, drawing one of his daggers and inching towards the nearby trooper, using the wind ruffled grass to mask the sound of his approach. His ears perked up at the pathetic act from the road and Zaweri's warning shortly afterward, and took that as his cue. Lunging forward with a growl, the wolf looked to pin the trooper to ground and slam his fist into the back of their skull to try to knock them out, with a follow up pummeling if necessary.

Des blinks when Zaweri fires off his first shot. "It's go time." He leaps to his feet, and moves across the RV. Holding both UZIs at the ready he kicks open the side door of the RV and leans out, scanning the nearby grass for the two other soldiers.

Seb as quickly as a Chihuahua cheetah ready to devour its prey, he leaps on the back of the crouching enemy, and proceeds to slam jam his fist into the back of the man's head... it doesn't work! Before the Remnant has time to scream for help, Seb proceeds to flip him on his back and savage face until he stops moving... it works but you end up killing the poor bastard in the process. Guess you went a little to hard on the bastard, his face looks like Sperghetti-Mo's after reheat them in a microwave.
Zaweri you quickly duck down as you fire blindly out the driver side window. You hear a squelching sound from your left, followed by one of the Remnants swearing his mouth off. Also you apparently hit his knee.

But seeing as how I am a merciful GM (and would rather get on with this sh*t, instead of dragging out a fight scene so I can go jerk- I mean, play Fallout NV for 12 hours straight) I'll do this.
You all get the sudden idea of leaning outside the door, where you see the "victim" starting to make a break towards their camp. (If you choose to fire at him, I won't even bother rolling dice).

From what you could read on the label, its a potent mixture of morphine, anti-radiation drugs, and a ****load of ****; the warning on the label also reads as such: If you experience any swelling, vomiting, sweating, convulsions, hallucinations, migraines, random combustion, or a **** lasting longer then 4 hours please consult your doctor.
The doctor lifts down his mask and looks at Jove with eyebrows raised. "Huh... normally people come in here because they got the clap from the 'local nightlife' down the road. But if its directions you need I can tell you all about the area.", the doc takes the bottle from you and sets it on his desk. "So further north you may or may not hit Montreal and that place is pretty bad this time of year... with its 'Love Fest' they got going on this year; which is nothing but a giant rave. Um *tsk-tsk* to the uh... south you got Burlington which is nothing but a shelled out town filled with small tribes, might be a good time. A little bit further to the east you got Maine, and finally west you got more border and eventually you'd hit New York." He takes a seat in the metal-chair behind the desk, it scraping across the wooden floors. He takes the bottle of tonic and shoves it in a bottom drawer, then pulls out some papers that he then begins to scribble on. "And... if you got the stomach for it, I got a job in recently. From my fellow Doctors out East, probably the same ones that fixed up those hands of yours. If you're interested I could give you the details."
(That moment when you've been gone so long you've completely forgotten the key points to your backstory. Yolo.)
The guy back at the motel... Jove couldn't remember exactly, but he thought he said to keep going north. Was this as far north as he wanted Jove to go? It wouldn't make sense for Jove to go all the way to the Love Fest. That... that sounded very unpleasant. As for going east, which was about the best sounding option to Jove's tastes, he knew he wouldn't find the person who fixed him up. That man is long gone. Jove paused and picked up the conversation. "Yes. I'd like more details about heading east."

Seb pinned the soldier to the ground, clocking him in the back of the head. When the wolf mutant realized the trooper was still conscious, he forced him onto his back and began raining down blows upon his victim's face, planning to stop when they were unconcious. But as the first drop of blood was spilled with his bare claws, he couldn't stop himself. That slick, metallic odor of fresh vital fluids coaxed out his bloodlust, driving him into a frenzy. Sanguine ribbons flew about, leaving their mark on anything they touched as his dagger clattered to the dirt, unstained and forgotten. He hardly noticed the fleeing trooper as his body seized up, twisting about violently as he struggled to wrest back some form of control.
With shaking paws, he managed to grip his hip flask, undo the cap and take a drink of his 'tea', some of it spilling onto the dirt. He collapsed onto his side as the toxin took effect, seizures tapering off while he lay there for what felt like an eternity, the rhythym of each shuddering breath signaling a downstep in his convulsions. The sight of the trooper's eviscerated face filled him with disgust and fear, feeling bile rise in his throat, nearly upchucking what he just drank. Gritting his teeth, he averted his eyes, blankly staring off into the endless rolling green trying to comprehend what he'd just done while gunfire continued to crackle behind him.

Combat [Main Group]
There's no point in rolling it. You outnumber them easily, and you could easily kill them all. So you all cripple the fleeing 'victim', and just waste the guy that was standing to the side of the RV.
Yeah its not really an interesting update, but I'm tired of wasting time trying to figure out how to make a [Auto-Win] battle interesting. So fuck it, the situation is resolved feel free to do what you want with El Bait-a-mundo over in the grass.
Organ Donor [Jove Update]
The Doctor slides some very water-damaged papers out from under the stack. "I expect that you're accepting the job as well, it ain't a pretty one, but someone's got to do it. Doctor Hu and his boys, from out east at some Russian town sitting on the Minnesota, Canadian borders. He needs organs, doesn't care how you get them, but he is in desperate need for replacement organs. Why? Have you ever heard of a Dissolver? There these housefly looking mutants that have gone feral, with the legs that of a human, but the rest of its body is like a fly oozing with acidic shit and tongues that hang out of its mouth. If you've been out east like you said you have, you'll know these things like to spit their gunk into peoples mouths and then eat the liquified innards like its a shake."
The doctor pauses as he reaches for a lime green tonic out from under the table, you can't see the label clearly. "But the mortality rates are shockingly low, so Dr. Hu has a ton of patients sitting around in cryotubes until he gets what he needs." He takes a swig, shudders, and then continues speaking. "Are you interested? I could get you a caravan if need be."

"I got 'em, don't leave me behind." Irving says heading to the cripple. "Why hello... You're coming with me." he says dragging him to the RV. He heads into the bedroom and props the cripple on the bed. He un-loads all but one of the rounds in the Mataba, "Hope you enjoy a certain game called... Russian Roulette." He spins the cylinder of the revolver, he points the barrel of the revolver to the Cripple. "Who are your group? Do you have stashes? If you refuse to tell me the one in six chance will lower until your brains are all over the walls."

"You know the one who loads the gun takes the first shot right? Invaded by Russians and yet half you dipsharts can't even play their games right.", He chuckles as you stick the barrel into his forehead. "Listen kiddo, its real cute what you're doing. But I'd stop. Killing a Navy Seal is bad for your karma you know." Shifting around his wounded leg, he then sighs, looks out the window and then looks at you with the smuggest fucking grin that could ever be portrayed.
"I'm apart of the US Navy, Navy Seal Team 6, just like my father and my father before me. Stashes? Used to before we started shaving, grass and oil makes facial hair flammable okay. Listen, I was never a boyscout, couldn't. Mainly due to the Apocalypse happening you know, so I stayed in my bunker, ate my hash, and loved my family until the assholes booted me out for "misconduct". And I'd love to give you the exact location of the last bastion of unirradiated humans, but its been two decades and a lot more important shit has pushed that out."

Seb slowly gets to his feet as the sounds of gunfire ceased, about to dust off his attire but caught himself when he realized how bloody his claws were. Scrambling about, he rakes them through the tall grasses to clean most of the blood off, oblivious to the blood on muzzle and clothing. Shaking his head to clear the fog from his mind, he looked about, seeing Irving drag the would-be actor into the confines of the RV along with the corpse of his own unfortunate victim.
Reluctantly, he dragged the body into the grass and flipped it over facedown so...nobody else would have to see that mess. Checking to make sure he still had his flask and snatching up his dagger, he entered the RV, hearing Irving finish his interrogation and caught him pulling out a nasty looking cleaver. He gently pressed his clawtips against his own skull, exasperated, and barked a question.
"What do you think you're doing?" he says, allowing a growl to punctuate his statement.

"My job. He's not gonna say anything worthwhile I'm gonna take what makes him a soldier, his hands." Irving says. "He pissed me off, I give zero fuks about my karma. But, I wanted to use this." Irving says gesturing to his cleaver. "Now, do you want to keep your hands? I'll give you a choice, Tell me what I want to know now and I'll just throw you out with all your belongings, or you tell me what I want to know and I keep your hands." he says to the SEAL.

"Doesn't really seem like there's much choice in that, but since you seem slow I'll cut you some slack. There is a stash, not ours, but its a treasure trove of the old world. A laboratory, filled with all sorts of shiny shit. People don't go near it since they think its haunted, gravitational anomalies to "simple" folk seem like vengeful spirits. But I know a way to get through the 'gravitational field', there's a garage door that's been left wide open, but no one knows its location or how to get to it.", He then cuts himself short.

Jove shook his head. "Sorry. I'm not a contract killer and I'm not going to trick people to steal their organs. Or whatever I have to do to get organs out in a time like this..." Jove shook his head and looked as his metallic hands. He felt empty there. "...but if someone in the caravan could rip those out for me. Maybe if we took out a group of raiders or something on the way." Jove shivered a little, though he couldn't tell if it was from a draft of bitter weather from outside that caused him to rattle from the bone. This felt and sounded all too familiar. He wondered if someone else had this conversation before. "And we had a doctor who could pull them out, I could 'Subdue'. But I'm not doing any of the dirty work. Those are my conditions." Jove believed in compromise, but was strong in whatever weak morals he had left.

Welcome to the club so I'm going to ask real quick:
Do you want to be with the main Group, or do you want to be in the Caravan that Jove is going to join with?
Also as for mutants, I'm going to explain them in the lore update I'll eventually get out. There's three main types of mutants:
Anthros (AKA: the ones you play as): Are basically another race of humans, met with the same kinda racism, hatred, or unconditional love like any other race in the world.
Ferals: Which are humans and animals that have formed and mutated beyond the point of being recognizable, they live to eat, breed, and die. Most, if not all of them are basically hostile.
Ascended: I'll go into more detail when you discover one, but think Lovecraftian Old Ones.

"Can kill and should kill are two different things. More bloodshed today than I'd like."
He paused, about to say something more, only then realizing what a mess he looked and sighs, his brow furrowed in frustration. He turned to Irving and addressed him directly.
"We're taking him back. Going to get him patched up and get intel on the location of this cache. I'm not tolerating wanton mutilation on my watch. One thing for it to be in the heat of combat, but not here."
He walked away, going outside for a moment to retrieve the RPK he left in the grass. When he returned, he says,
"Someone else drive. I'll watch the prisoner, and I've got to get cleaned up anyway."
The wolf mutant took a seat in the center cabin, scrubbing down his muzzle a damp washcloth, lost in thought. He hasn't had an episode like that in ages. Not since he got a regular supply of bloodweed. He puzzled over it as they traveled back to base, fearful of what this could mean.

The doctor nearly spits out his tonic, "Jesus Christ, when I said get organs anyway you can, I meant to get them from corpses and raiders! ...but," he takes a quick breath. "I can understand where the confusion lies, pretty sad when people assume doctors have gotten that bad. But yes, there is a doctor in the caravan. I can't promise you that he's a great doctor, as he was originally a mortician. But he's an older more quieter gentleman." He puts the tonic away in his overcoat pocket and gets up from his chair. "The group you're going with have basically gone freelance after their original leader died, along with their guard being booted from the group. But they're nice people."
He walks over to the frost-fogged window and uses his sleeve to clear up some of the icy condensation. "The Red House, that's where they're staying. And of course one of the men came in here earlier asking for a box of 'protection'. You'll immediately know how he is when you meet them. They'll be heading out in a few hours towards a eastern bound town known as, "RiverPines" Its quaint, but there's been some rumors floating around the place as of late. So unless you want me to give you a quick examination, you're free to go meet your crew."

You've been sitting in this scarlet lit den for hours now, and this watered down booze ain't helping drown out the 'noises' coming from the upstairs rooms. "HOW MUCH STAMINA DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE!?" Is the question you've been asking yourself all night, along with the monotony of the Old Man jabbering on about how useless the appendix is as an organ. You'd be perfectly happy to just die on the spot. You hear someone sit right next to you. "Waiter, yes, boozeman. Bring me something that has scotch and vodka mixed in, and bring something that doesn't taste like watery p1ss to this fine gentleman here.", he says patting you on the shoulder. He wears a duster coat with some extra padding, with his face mostly covered by balaclava and a ushanka that covers everything down to the eyebrows. The only thing you can make out is his eyes, which are a bright green that match his speech text.
"You look down, the name's... actually I think we'll skip pleasantries and just get to the merriment. How are you tonight?", he asks as he passes the newly made drink over to you.

"Oh I've been pretty good, enjoying the snow, enjoying the entertainment.", he says taking a swig of their Votchka. "But soon you'll get out of here, away from the moans and screams of women that barely make enough to live here. Goddamn shame really, to be trapped doing something that barely supports the bastard children your clients abandon you with." Taking another swig, he turns around and looks around the red curtain filled room. "Its funny, this used to be the preachers house before the owner of the place burned him out. Turns out the preacher had some vendetta against the guy, when the owner found out what he was planning that was the end of it. Pulled him from his bed, and then proceeded to savage him in the street. Then after that the owner took the place, and turned it into his own little slice of Hell. Funny how people will lash out when given the slimmest piece of evidence to justify it."
He finished his drink in one last glup and tosses it on the counter. "I'm going to head outside for a smoke real quick, the red is starting to hurt my eyes. Before I go, there'll be a man coming in, robot hands like those androids outta Neo Tokyo out in Nevada. He's going to be helping you out, so treat him nice."

"Okay, boss." Irving says, he heads to the bathroom and checks the room for gauze bandages, disinfectant, and tweezers. When he finds them he grabs a washcloth from the center cabin. He heads over to the prisoner, He pulls up the pants legs to check the bullet wounds. He checks which bullets went straight through and what just has an entrance wound.

Jove was heavily relieved that the Doctor and him had that slight miscommunication. He sighed, feeling a burden fall with his breath. He walked over to the window with the doctor and looked out at the Red House. The people he'd meet in there would change the fate of his adventure for sure.
"Thanks for the help. And the crotch medicine." Jove smiled and walked to the door. He opened it, and knowing his luck, he immediately tripped over an uneven floor board and fell face first into snow. After a brief recovery and already feeling cold as Hell in winter, he walked to the Red House.

You patch up the SEAL's leg, a clean shot all the way through, if you were a better doctor and person you could probably fix the limp that'll develop outta this. But you ultimately decide to pour some peroxide, bandage it, and be done with it. "Fine with me, I think I could get used to a jail cell.", he then gets comfy in his spot and relaxes. He looks over to Seb, "So what's your story? Haven't seen a mutant working for Deliverance Company before. They change their policy, or are you just an exception?"
Jove: As you approach the scarlet lit building, you notice someone, someone familiar. Coming out of the house and leaning on one of the support posts for the porch roof. He pulls out a freshly rolled cigarette and lights it. "Hi there Jove. Fancy seeing you get here so quickly, if you got a moment I'd like to give you something. For your troubles that is, it might help you."
Isaac: You see someone approaching the Red Room, their hands look pretty bulky, and they seem to be glinting in the dim porch light. Must be Jove, and it looks like that weird guy is trying to make conversation with him. Before you can see what happens next, the old man snaps his fingers at you. "Boy! Have you even been listening!?" He looks visibly upset, like you just said something nasty to him.

"Uh...a little of both. They showed up about a year ago to set up a new FOB in town. I had some...prior experience and came with recommendations from a few influential locals, though they were still reluctant to swear me in. Had me on recon duty for a good while. They realized that the unique physical talents of people like me were valuable assets and began recruiting others, like that lass over there." He pointed a claw over at Amy.

"Okay." Irving says, he removes the cap of the bottle of disinfectant and begins cleaning the wounds. He checks the bullet wounds of which ones went straight through, and which ones stayed in. They were three ones that stayed in and five that went straight through. "Lemme know if you want painkillers, there's probably some in the bathroom."

Seb cracks a wry smile at 'guard dog'. If only. Looking about, he shook his head as they hadn't yet left the area.
"I say again, we're moving out. Someone take the driver's seat and start driving back to town. Don't care who. Long as you don't crash."
He turned back towards the prisoner.
"Actually, used to be part of a group of scavengers. Going through old buildings and appropriating their bounties, and we also happened to take up protection and enforcement duties of the community when needed. I was good at breaking and entering quietly. Still am. Even if these here are a bit less delicate than they used to be."

"As you may see, I can't busy fixing up this SEAL." Irving says, he chooses one of the wounds that stayed in, he takes the pair of tweezers and begin pulling the bits of lead out. He puts the bits of lead on the washcloth, when he finishes he takes the roll of gauze and pours some of the disinfectant in the gauze. He begins to wrap the wounds in the gauze.

The Stranger chuckles, "Forgotten me so soon Jove? I know it may be a shock to travel this far north already, but stranger, much more anomalous things have happened."
He pauses for a moment, "I know you're heading east, and traveling with a group, I know what you need and I can give you an easier way of acquiring it. Back in the old days, the place was called, "Old Autumn Pass" A small cliff-side camping spot that tourists used to hike up too from the Great Lakes, its a really beautiful spot with beautiful vistas. But back even further then that it used to be called, "Mireu MT" A laboratory that stretched all throughout the inner walls of the cliff, and under the lake that the cliff surrounds."
He reaches into his snow-layered duster pocket and pulls out an old map, riddled with holes, and faded from sunlight. "It housed some of the brightest Chinese and Russian minds throughout the nation, doctors, geneticists, and biologists all in one huge complex where no one would ever find out the things they did. But the main thing they focused on, was physical regeneration, bodies growing arms back within days, intestines fully developed in jars for later use. All sorts of things that sound like magic.", he pulls out a pen and uses the post he was leaning on to use as a support to write on.
He marks a few of the lower levels displayed on the map, "This is where they grew them, and this is where you want to go. There's a cave that people used to park their cars at the pass, you go in that cave and you find the elevator that reads, [X122]. You'll find a climbing rope that you can take down." He then stuff the map into your pocket as passes by, "I know my help is sudden and quick, but you shouldn't keep those out east waiting. Until next time Jove."

Irving hops into the driver's seat and pulls a U-Turn, he starts up the hill, goes through the stretch of woodland, and before you know it. You're back in town, the gate is already wide open and you can see a line of Deliverance Co. cars lined up and ready to head out. You can see some of the more 'trustworthy' townies passing out armaments and anti-vehicle weapons. With the assistant from the Herbalist shop, along with his master, passing out bags of assumed herbal medicine to the guards.

Irvings walks to the SEAL, he grabs him by his bindings and starts to drag him out of the RV. When they make it to the outside he says, "Here's one of those bandits that are stealing shit on one of the roads. Do what you want to him, Lynch him... Jail him... whatever."

Seb's hackles raised at Irving's continued rough treatment of the prisoner. "Careful." he warned.
As he followed his bounty outside, the wolf briefly made eye contact with Skyler who was passing out healing poultices some distance away, worry etched across his muzzle, which signaled that they'd need to talk later.
In front of their CO, Seb straightened his posture and clarified Irving's statement. "This alleged Remnant surrendered to us in exchange for the location of some pre-war experimental tech. His leg's got first aid, but will probably need a closer look."

Jove felt slapped by the amount of information The Man had just thrown at him. By far, it was the most help Jove had received ever since... ever. But just who was this guy and what were his motives? It occurred to Jove that it could be someone from his past. From his old group? Jove thought all of them had died but The Man who he kept encountering seemed to know something more about Jove behind those eyes. Jove felt his side pocket. He could feel the outline of the map from his metal paws. There was a lot of hope for Jove, but it was only a brief moment. A labratory where they developed and grew body parts. It was possible there was more to gain than just a safe ride east. Jove glanced at the man as he walked away and turned towards the barn. That was when he noticed another man with a coat of head bandages around his head and a thick leather duster. Jove wasn't quite sure how long the other man was watching him for.
"Hi.. hi there." Jove said and gave a little wave.

"I suppose so. I know I'm supposed to be traveling with a whole caravan... so..." Jove evaded eye contact. He caught a glance towards the beginning of the conversation, but he got the feeling his new partner was staring him down.

Deliverance Co. Seba 3
"Huh," Your CO turns around. "Oh. Yes, our little military friends down south. So what is it that you know?" The Remnant stood up a bit before falling back to his knees, wincing in pain, "Ugh... you see I know another way into the "haunted lab" up north. No need to go through that anomaly field. You se-" "Well what is it?", your CO cut the prisoner off, right as he was about to explain. "You see, there's an old dirt road that leads around the hills that surround the lab. If you take that road, there's a garage door that was left wide open during The Crisis. You could just drive right in, no ID card needed!"
Your CO takes in the information, nods, and then whips out his 38. Revolver. He slams the barrel of the gun into The Remnant's forehead, "WAIT!" Your prisoner's plea is cut short, the back of his head explodes outward splattering brain matter and blood all over your legs. The CO wipes the front of his gun clean, then holsters it, "Good work. I'll have Delta Co, hang him on a tree on the outskirts of the forest. Serve as a warning to what we do to traitors. Now go visit the Armory and get your vehicle outfitted for the raid." He then walks away to another RV, like it was business as usual.
Broke Caravan
You hear some heavy stomping coming your guy's way, Isaac recognizes her immediately. "Where's Mordecai and Joshua?", she asks Isaac completely ignoring Jove. Upstairs you're starting to hear a commotion, the bar is starting to quiet down to hear what's going on, sounds a bit like yelling, and you swear you just heard a lamp shatter.
(TIME FOR SOME EXPOSITION, or The Exposition of Isaac: Joshua is the young man you're waiting for, he's always been kind of a dick to you, you're sure he doesn't like mutants. Mordecai is the older gentleman that used to be a mortician back in the day, he's probably the reason why the caravan is still afloat. And then finally there's Missy, the woman whose questioning you, you know that there's some bad blood between her and Joshua, something about him doing something to her brother. You're not entirely sure, but you know that whatever the confrontation was, it was bloody.)

Seb's jaw went slack at the sight of the public execution. He opened his mouth as his CO wandered off as if to say something but words wouldn't come, stolen away as swiftly as the Remnant's life was. Swinging his head about, he noticed grunts across the yard who turned to look quickly return to their tasks, only a few lingering for longer than an instant as apprehension hung in the air like a thick fog. A weight settled upon his spirit as he turned around, cast a blank stare at his bloodied foot and legguards and plodded towards Skyler while the corpse was dragged away.
This isn't right, he thought. Hasn't been right since the old CO got reassigned.
Glancing over at Zaweri, he waved at him halfheartedly. "You..you do that." he said, barely audible. The wolf mutant tapped Skyler on the shoulder who had been transfixed by the execution. Seb motioned with his head towards a vacant supply tent. Skyler turned to his apprentice and instructed him to continue handing out medicine before allowing himself to be led away by Seb.

Amy jolts awake from the gunshot, her wings painfully hitting the wall as they unfurl. After a while of swearing loudly and sorting her wings out again, she turns to exit the RV before seeing the corpse being dragged off. "Whelp, not going out there right now."
Amy just decides to finally finish fixing up the pair of jeans from earlier.

Deliverance Co. Seba 3
With the grim reminder of how bad this world can get both being drug off, and walking away at the same time. You realize that you'll be doing more or less in just a few hours. The RV shakes as engineers hop in and out of the car, slamming on weapons like Brownings, gadgets like grappling hooks to tear armor away from cars, and piecing together metal sheets that can hardly be called "armor". Its almost time, some of the squad cars are already heading towards the north, where a wide-open plain of burned farmland awaits, with a huge band of raiders willing to kill and brutally tear apart anyone for the fertile land. Including their own.
The car ahead of you kicks up dust as it flies out of the gate, and the RV stops shaking as the Deliverance Co. engineers hop off the vehicle to prepare the next car for battle.
Seb: "Aye' Seb dere' you are. I got somefin special for yer' car!", the old Soviet armorer speaks as he pushes out a heavy-looking, green, wooden crate. "Its somefin' I cooked up myself, I wouldn't crack it open until after you're at the battle. Its a little something that involves melting, should chew through the smaller cars like a dog on a ham bone." He takes a moment and pats you on the back. "I know things seem touff. With the CO and all, but you have to realize that we're still technically fighting a war. It's against your own countrymen, and it maybe because I never really cared for the Americans, but do know I've killed my fair share of defectors back west."
He then slides a few cylinders of Bear ammo towards you. "But remember to find that one thing that keeps ya' human. Hold onto that, don't ever let that go." Before exiting the tent, he grabs a bright blue bottle of "Sketckiez Bottled Vodka" takes a long gulp and offers you some. "I already had the engineers install most of the goodies aboard your vehicle. Better not keep those savages up North a-waitin'!"
Broke Caravan
Jove: She looks at you unsurprised, "So you're the replacement? Well you seem to have your wits about you; Mordecai is an old fart that somehow still manages to make a straight line when... "exhuming" bodies or doing what a non-practicing surgeon would call, "surgery". Then you have Joshua, complete asshat that managed to become the leader of the group. Then finally you have Isaac whose most likely chasing after the pair, while Joshua doesn't care for him, and Mordecai doesn't mind him; I don't find him all that bad, he's quiet... and that's nice."
Isaac: You head up to see what looks like the owner of the establishment with his gun pointed at Joshua, Joshua is standing in the doorway of one of the better private rooms, and then you have Mordecai standing in the corner with what looks like a very angry "escort". "She tried to steal my wallet, of course I'm not going to pay!", Joshua shouts putting on his winter coat. "He's lying Rickie! HE SAID THAT I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR PAYMENT!" The escort shouts as she starts making certain gestures towards Josh that show her irritation even more. "W-what if he just payed half? That might work for the best, everyone gets payed and we can all move on with what we were doing. I'm pretty sure you're a lovely lady when you're in a better mood.", tried to calm the situation down to no avail.
Rickie then sticks the barrel of the gun straight into Josh's throat. "Either pay the lady or I give this room the 'scarlet' treatment.", Rickie threatens.

Seb politely waved away the offer of drink. He has enough of his own without needing to know what bloodweed mixed with rotgut might do to him. He picked up one of the ammo cylinders and tested its weight, contemplating what the armorer had said, before stacking all of them upon the wooden crate and lifting the whole lot, carrying it into the RV.
What did it mean to him, one who sat so close to the line between feral beast and reasoning being?
He rolled the question over and over in his head as he sat filling speedloaders for the Bear, preparing to rain death upon other thinking, living beings. For...for what? The safety of the town? He wasn't so sure anymore.

Deliverance Co. Seba 3
The Soviet Man nods and heads back inside, most likely to drink himself into a nice nap. Everything around you and outside felt like a blur, people shouting orders; RVs, buggies, trucks, and cars all rolling out kitted with ridiculous amounts of fire power. It was your turn outta the gate, kicking dust behind your wheels as you sped off behind your fellow men to slaughter those who slaughter for fun. But aren't you techincally doing this for fun? Killing the "bad people" for the pleasure of dishing out some wasteland justice? Make of this silly narration what you will, because the CB suddenly cackles to life with your CO on the horn.
"Alright, no for a little more details on the 'savages we're up against. *clears throat* Mr. Fignick as he's called is wanted by Deliverance Corporate for the following, treason, murder, robbery, theft, manslaughter, manbutchering, rape, super-murder, and nearly every form of shit under the Sun. Don't think what you're doing is bad, these 'men' are savages, rapists, arsonists, and murders. The last caravan of Deliverance guys they got, Jesus... they tore them limb from limb, strung their guts for miles, dragging their corpses all through the roads.
So...
Show them no quarter, they won't spare you and we won't spare them. They're known to have a large moving fortress comprised of several 18-wheelers all welded together with god knows how many "houses" built atop the containers. The four 'VIPS' is their leader, Fignick. The Warchief, SlashTelsa. One of their road warriors, Skids. And finally the fort driver, aptly named, SteeringWheel... yes that's his name. I never said they were creative."
Your CO then tells you of the payment you'll receive upon completion, "-if you are to survive the confrontation, you'll get the spoils of war, and a hefty bonus in rations. I know Seba 3 will need those rations, so do some good work out there boys! OORAH! OVER AND OUT!" You still have some time to kill before meeting up with the group, WHY NOT CHIT-CHAT WHILE AND EXPAND YOUR CHARACTERS SO THE GM CAN MAKE BETTER QUALITY POSTS AROUND YOUR PERSONALITIES, PLEASE, I'M ONLY WRITING THESE POSTS FOR LIKE ONE OR TWO CHARACTERS BECAUSE EVERYONE FUCKING HAD A STROKE INBETWEEN POSTS!
Broke Caravan
Isaac: "FINE! Pay the whore, I'll meet you in the fucking car.", Josh knocks the gun out of the way and heads outside, you can faintly hear Violent scream something at him. "I'll make sure he's alright!", the old man jogs down after him. Such comradery! Rickie then looks to you, "*sigh* Just give her $50, and I'm sure that idiot knows he's got a ban at this bar. Sorry for your trouble, sir." The escort then looks at you for her payment.
You're pretty sure you can afford 50 USD.... you then question why they want American money, because you're in like Canada. Probably a plot hole on the GMs part, or maybe there's an explanation. But you don't entirely care.

Isaac pulls the money out and hands it to her then said "I'll break his teeth in for this." Before heading out of the building to meet Joshua, a hand resting on his pistol as he walked. When he walked past Missy he said "Pray we can work without Joshua, cause I might just kill him this time."

"The idiot. Listen, as much as I'd love to shoot him in the head and move on. We can't, all the insurance, last will and testament, and papers are in his name. And he's good friends with Mordecai for whatever reason.", she then pushes herself off the bench. As soon as Isaac left, Missy answers Jove's question. "Dunno. Always thought it'd be rude to ask him why he wears bandages all the time, he might be horribly burned and carries scars with some terrible memories. Or maybe he's just real shy. Possibly, just possibly, he's a cosplayer.", she shrugs. "But I suppose that's a mystery for another time. Ready to get on the road and do some 'charity' work?"
The Isaac of Isaac: Isaac's Isaac: You see Mordecai leaning on the driver's door, trying to calm Joshua down. "No one ever believes a goddamned thing I say, no matter fucking what I do. Can't even forget myself for a few minutes without shit being thrown right back in my face! Ever since the thing with her brother, its been the same!" "I know... but you can't look at it like that, I know things have been hard. But we have to keep moving forward, maybe we'll actually get something good this time, then we can take a long vacation down in NeoTokyo. How's that sound?" "*sigh* Sure... fine.... sounds fine. Get the others, and lets get outta here before the town shows up with pitchforks."
Mordecai then jumps a little as he sees you, "Oh! Phew... you know how to really give an old man a start, I thought you were a Mumm- you know what not funny. I guess its time to go, hope we get some oldies stations, then I can show you how we used to sing in the golden days!" He then does his old man chuckle ("HEHEHEH") and heads inside to tell the others.
Jove, I know your color ain't pink, and I should really just steal the HTML color code off your sig: Mordecai pushes open the doors before you can even respond to Missy, poking his head through the flappy-saloon doors. "Hope yer' ready, we're going on a TRIP!"

Isaac walked over and looked at Joshua. "You owe me fifty dollars, and you're banned from the bar. Next time you get with an escort pay her or I might be the one shoving a barrel in your face. Understand?" He gripped the handle of his pistol tightly, prepared to pull it out if Joshua tried to draw a weapon.

"We'll make that money back in no time, if you look in the dash, there should be a roll of ten's at least a couple hundred of them. Just take it."
Joshua then revs up the car, the engine roaring to life, the ice on the muffler starting to melt as exhaust pours out. Without even looking he flips it to the go to radio station of the area, "GreatWhite 109.6". It was playing the hit song from DoctorK, the best mathematician, telescientist, and MC in the house.

The Broke Caravan:
It a modified "Woodie" (1988 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1988 Krevolat Cabbie Classic), with the back trunk being filled to the roof with assorted junk and supplies for selling, with plenty of room in the back for plenty of people. With just enough leg room to stretch out. Its radio as been upgraded to pick up several stations as well as having a CB built underneath it, the back has a portable computer running underneath the console. But sadly all this comfort, and space comes with a price.
With all the shit loaded in the back, the car is very "heavy", doesn't like driving on ice all that well. Likes to break down every now and again because you said something mean to it. But it gets good gas mileage.

Drake sat near the back recovering from his stroke/coma that kept posts about him from being made with a PKM he procured while the RV was being armed up. He questioned the accuracy of what crimes they said this Mr. Fignit committed, as they seemed to over-exaggerated to be true: Like the stuff that would be seen on propaganda posters during wartime. Then again, their were even more ****ed up people in the past.
Either way, he gets to kill things and get paid doing it, and possibly serving justice for our great lord the Giant Cheese Monster on top of that. A pretty cool job, if you ask him.

Seb had laid out his personal armaments laid out on the wooden crate the armorer had given him, taking inventory as the CO's voice crackled to life over the radio. He set his jaw, rolling a few loose .50 caliber rounds in his right paw like dice as the man gave his speech, snorting in derision as it came to a close. Setting the bullets down, he says outloud, "Hard to believe. What do you lot think?" He takes a drink from his flask, freshly filled with more tea as he listens to replies. He knew that he couldn't trust the CO at any rate, as his words seemed aimed at dehumanizing the opposition, though maybe asking those under his command wasn't much better, as a few of them didn't appear to care from his perspective.

The RV still rattles its way behind the caravan, the sounds of casual radio chatter about the mission are still going on.
But you swear to God, you can hear the opening chords to some Guns N' Roses song in the distance....
Broke Caravan
With all of you piled into the car you take off, with Josh silently driving you out of town and into the gloomy-grey tinted forests as snow slowly starts to come down outside. Missy is the first to answer Jove's question, "If you count the whorehouse out in the middle of a death and snow covered tundra. No, we really haven't. "-BUT I HAVE! You see I saw a man in an ole' duster coat from the golden days, first I thought it was Isaac. But this man wasn't him, didn't have the bandages, and wore one of them silly Ruskie hats. Didn't really say anything, just kinda formed outta thin air and started walking south. Which lead us to this town!", the old man Mordecai cheerfully pipes in with the excitement of a six-year old on Christmas. "Oh. Don't go scaring them with that damn Russian Ghost crap, my Pa' told me the same thing back out West. "The man in the duster, will take you away to his home, where he'll take you to another world where he'll eat your bones like Rat Ribs.", used to tell me that all the time to keep me from wandering too far."
"But The Duster from the desert doesn't wear a Ushanka, he wears a sombrero. So its a totally different ghost!" The old man laughs as he finishes his sentence, realizing how absurd this whole conversation was. Missy once again interrupts, turning to Jove, "So I gotta ask... what's with the hands? You should have a pretty cool story with how you got them replaced."

Name: Victor Chalk Age: ? (Anywhere from thirties to fifties, it's a little hard to tell.) Gender: Male Race: Bionic Nightmare
Weapons: -An enormous revolver, obviously made after the apocalypse, chambered for .454 Casull. Chalk is very close to this old thing, thinking of it as his trademark. He keeps it in a leather side holster, hidden beneath his duster. -A 12-gauge 'lupara' coat gun. It's a compact, homemade double-barrel shotgun with a large hook in the stock, allowing Chalk to sneakily hook it into his vest. -An AMT Baby Automag pistol in .22 LR, which Chalk keeps tucked into his belt. -Four tin cans, filled with black gunpowder and whatever Chalk could find (needles, nails, BBs, etc.) and welded shut, with small fuses running out of the top. Uniform: A heavy leather duster, frayed at the edges, showing signs of very heavy wear. Underneath, a Dragon Skin vest, also well-worn, over a cotton undershirt. Heavy cargo pants, kneepads, and hiking boots finish up his lower body. He's got strips of wool wrapped around his hands, almost like boxing tape. General Inventory: A foggy glass bottle full of probably-expired opiates meant for medium-sized animals. A small pack of chocolate cigarillos, and a little silver zippo to go with it. Two clips of .22 LR hollow-points reside in one pocket, for his AMT. Two speedloaders of semi-wadcutter rounds for his revolver. A dozen #3 steel shot shells for his coat gun, jangling in another internal pocket.
Perks: Bionic Nightmare: Is a literal mess of flesh filled with wires and assorted bionic parts. Chalk's skin is covered in surgical scars, wires peek out of his joints, one eye is replaced with a flickering red laser device, his voice is a jumble of static formed into words, and he suffers random electric shocks of varying intensity throughout the day. A Few Positive Bionics: The eye does help with aim, his muscles have hydraulic enhancements, and once in a while he can focus the shocks positively, giving his fist the shock of a stun-gun. Commando: Crazy unarmed capabilities. Traits: [Mildly Insane] [Hideous] [Very Strong] [Military Training (Or at least something very similar. Despite there being no real military to train him, Chalk does have some serious skills)] Skills: [Guns: 2] [Unarmed: 3] Backstory: Victor Chalk has no idea what happened to him. He knows his name, he knows the basic situation the world is in, and he knows what he's learned since he woke up on the side of the road about three years back, but anything before that is gone like the wind. He's guessing he wasn't always like this, but whether someone forced it upon him or a voluntary experiment gone awry, he doesn't know the cause. Chalk joined up with Deliverance because, well, what else can a monster like him do? He's good at killing people, it doesn't bother him, and he needs to make a living.

Seb frowned, a quiet disapproving grunt forming in his throat. He had hoped for something more substantial; some kind of insight to give him more answers, but he wasn't sure why he expected that from anybody in the RV. The digits of his paws were interlocked, propping up his muzzle as he rested his elbows on the small table in the RV's cabin, contemplating some strange revelation that had just came to him, but didn't speak of it openly. His ears twitched, picking up a peal of...music over the masses of vehicles driving throughout the area. Curious, he stood, easily lifting himself through the roof access and looking out over the horizon to determine the source.

Seb may be surprised, however, to see a hulking figure clinging to the side of the RV, his legs trailing off, his arms hooked over the edge to keep him from tumbling off the edge. Grunting with a voice choked with static, the bionic man hurls himself up onto the vehicle, obviously more than a little tired. The newcomer huffs his chest up and down a bit, regaining his composure, before slowly lifting his head and nodding to the wolf-man. "Mornin'. I, uh.....almost lost ya at yer last stop. Victor Chalk, Deliverance Co., my unit's been reassigned." He drones through his filter mask, the combined effects of the object, his static-filled voice, and the rushing wind around him making it a bit hard to hear.

Chalk reacts with a booming laugh, a noise similar to two microphones being shoved together. "Yer lookin' at it, yessir. Victor Chalk, one man squad, at yer service," He chuckles, scooting nearer to the roof entrance and extending his hand to be shaken.

Seb winces as the laugh battered into his sensitive ears. Glancing over at Chalk's outstretched hand then back at his face, he shrugs and says "Right...as you say. Best get inside then." The wolf mutant ducked back down inside the RV, leaving the cyborg's hand rather lonely. Seb wondered why he's even surprised at this point. Yes, let's go ahead and just dump all the unwanted deviants into wolf-boy's unit. Fantastic.

Chalk grits his teeth as the wolf-man ducks back inside the RV, not accepting the outstretched hand. Hm. Not one for pleasantries.......maybe it was Chalk's appearance. He was used to that. Nodding as Seb speaks, he hops into the vehicle after him, his heavy form audibly thudding on the floor. Right.....yes. Quaint form of transportation you've got here."

Seb took his seat at the table again, looking over his equipment on the nearby weapon crate to make sure everything was accounted for. "It's what was available." He began to gear up, placing all of the items upon his person. The allure of what fun toys the armorer had cooked up called to him as his ran his paws along the top edge, but didn't open it, remembering the warning. The wolf's arm swept across the interior of the cabin, gesturing at the weapons strewn about. "Want anything? There's plenty."

As you cross over the incline of the hill, you see in the distance a vast burned field of what used to be wheat and corn, now all charred and glowing with the hot embers of ash. Coming towards you slowly, kicking up a titanic dust storm behind its wheels, a huge metal fortress built upon an uncountable number of 18-wheelers. Its jagged edges covered in blood, guts, and 'war paint', cat walks, ladders, and stairways all carelessly placed around the fort. You can see people running, jumping, and taking their positions all over the rolling fortress. And at the very top of the fortress, on a platform illuminated coils with electrical currents running in between them, in the center of the platform, a lone guitarist with a wall of speakers behind him; playing his fingers off as the fortress approaches.
To the sides of the rolling fort, what looks like hundreds of salvaged buggies and muscle cars, all covered in viscera with heads mounted on car antennas.
Your CO crackles over the CB, "Seb, I need you and your team leading the main assault on that damned moving fortress. Try to breach your way in, kill everyone in there, free anyone you can, and make sure you take out that fucking guitarist!"

Seb looked upon the mobile bastion from the RV's window with both awe at the ingenuity required for such a behemoth and horror at the destruction it wrought. Regardless of their motives, that madness couldn't be allowed to continue. He swung Zaweri's XM8 from beneath the seat and dropped it on the table with a thud as the CO's orders crackled through the radio. "Spearhead, huh," he said in grim acknowledgement of the task set before them. "Man a gun. Any of them. Gonna see what the armorers cooked up here."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdpMpfp-J_I Seb cracks open the crate to find a mounted flamethrower with several bottles of orange liquid, brown liquid, and a bottle filled with reddish-orange jelly. The flamethrower has three slots for these bottles on the left side of the gun. Taped to the barrel of the flamethrower are some directions and a brief description of what it is.
"Thermite-Napalm Thrower"
1. Insert the bottles by screwing them into their slots, make sure the nozzle end points down to the contents can drain into the flamethrower as its fired.
2. There's a lever on the handle of the gun, pump it three times to heat up the element at the end of the barrel
3. KEEP POINTED OUT A WINDOW, MAKE SURE ITS MOUNTED!
4. It fires a gel substance that burns brightly and is covered in really, really hot flames. Make sure to wear protective eye wear, do not touch the barrel until it is fully cooled.
5. WARNING!!! If you start to smell something akin to burning rust, TOSS THE GUN FAR AWAY FROM YOU! You'll thank me later for this.
Irving wasn't paying attention to his surroundings much when the GM said that the guitarist was on a platform high atop the fortress, playing his guitar as electrical currents arced and curled around him.
Zaweri begins to floor it, driving ahead of the pack and straight into the first wave of raiders. The fortress is getting bigger the more you approach it, you're starting to wonder if you'll even be able to board it.

Chalk's good eye widens as he catches sight of the cars approaching, along with the veritable mobile fortress this team is apparently tasked with destroying. Stifling a gasp, he nods to Seb, rushing back to the window he entered in, hopping up, and manning the machine gun on the roof access. Looking down the sights in a probably-futile attempt to aim, he tries to squeeze off a few bursts at the gunner/spear-er(?) of one of the approaching buggies.

Jove smiled and shrugged. "Yeah, I've got a few stories. One time I beat up a bunch of thugs in a bar. With only my fists, too!" Jove raised up his hands again and gave a nervous little chuckle. "Then there was this time I saved a family from a burning barn. Or the time I had showdown with mutants from the west. Or... my old group."

Chalk catches sight of the muscle-car rider attempting to board the RV. "HEY! Git the hell away from our car!"" He grunts at the raider, his Magnum finding its way out of his pocket. Leaning off the Browning to take aim with the BFR, Chalk attempts to aim as best as he can to hit the man in any part of his body. With the precarious position he's in, the high-powered round is probably sure to knock him right off if it hits.

Seb coughed and snorted, waving a paw in front of his muzzle in an attempt to ward off the noxious bouquet as he set 'DD' gently on the floor and drew his Bear, wanting to save some of that thermite for the fortress proper. Wrapping an arm around the handle near the doorframe, he leaned out and drew the hammer back, aiming for the passenger seat of the muscle car and squeezing off a shot, braced for the recoil with an iron grip.

In the bedroom hidden under some clothes and used "Mathematical Curves" magazines rests and new minigun that can now be mounted to the ass-end of your car. You begin setting it up, resting the mount on the back window, tightening the screws into the window sill and clicking all the mini-gun latches into place. You then get a drum of ammo and begin reeling the belt of ammo into the gun.

Seb whirled about after having taken his shot, seeing Irving hanging for dear life and get fired upon by the RV's own weapon. Furious, the wolf mutant yanked Ivan away from the M2, pinned him against a wall and backhanded him across the face. Baring his teeth in a snarl, he stared directly into the dim-witted human's eyes. "Use your eyes, you ****ing numpty. And get it together! Or I'll toss you off this boat myself."

Amy looks out the back window and decides that Irving can probably deal with it, twirling a chair around and sitting on it so that her arms are leaning on the back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZlDZPYzfm4 IRVING sticks the barrel of his revolver in the punks head, and turns his head into a chunky mist of brain, bone, and eye jelly. He grabs the driver's torso by the leather straps and yanks it out of the car into the speeding ground below. He hops into the car and takes control. The thermite decides to be plot convenient and cool off so it doesn't burn through the friendly engine. CHALK sprays down the punks, spraying their dirt spattered bodies with fiery lead, they shake and spasm as the bullets tear across their chest. Blood flows out of the wounds like a fountain, their arms pulverized, hanging on by slivers of muscle and tendon. They fall from the roof and tumble off, lifeless. "Is this what you want?"
ZAWERI you fight with the wheel, wrestle with it, like a tamer fighting a wild stallion. You brake, maneuver through explosions and vehicle collisions. Eventually you manage to gain control, you floor the gas to get to the fortress. Outside you see the fight raging on longer, you see suicide buggies taking out both Deliverance boys and their own men. Some of The Crazies have abandoned their vehicles and are on foot charging vehicles, latching onto them like leeches. Pulling people out, boarding them, killing. The last RV you saw, they climbed in through the top hatch; killed the driver, threw him out the windshield. You heard screams, the flash of gunshots through the windows. And then.... silence.
SEB you reach up to the Browning, pull the lever back and begin sending out bursts of shot towards the nearest buggy. You hit it, bullets pinging off of the frame, one catches the driver in the gut, and the last three hit the explosives. The buggy erupts into a fiery black cloud, flames lap around the edges and nearly burn some of the other vehicles. IVAN you crack the charging-lever on the AK back, and then lean out the window; you fire quick bursts at the other buggy. You take out the driver, bullets pepper his torso. In his last moments he holds up the trigger, presses it, and then gets vaporized in the ensuing explosion.
DRAKE you lean out the back window, rotating the mini-gun outwards a bit. Once Zaweri drives past, you hold down on the triggers to spin up the gun. You release a volley of bullets towards the last buggy. Like the other two actions above. This one explodes in a fiery display as well.
EVERYONE with all the defense force being occupied by the other Deliverance Co. cars, Zaweri has managed to get you near The Fortress. You need at least two people to stay in the car, while the others find a way to open The Fortress's giant metal doors to allow Zaweri and the rest of Deliverance Co. into The Fortress to destroy it.
[[Basically, a small group gets to go on a dungeon run, while the group on the outside takes out the offense. Or if you want to risk having the RV destroyed (you'll get a replacement), you can "anchor it" (read as, putting it on park while its attached to the outside of the fortress by the hook.) you can all go and kick a little ass.]]

Seeing as Jove was in a comatose state, Missy took the paperwork out of his hands. "Says here that the place we're looking for is right off of Pine Quarry." Joshua looked outside, squinting to read the road signs through the thick snowfall outside. "Looks like its up ahead. Odd, thought it'd take a little bit.", he said glancing at the dashboard clock. "You know what they say, small world. Heheh."
Before you know it, you're snaking up a mountain road. You pass a busted ticket gate and into a small snow covered parking lot. "Goddamn its really snowing out tonight. Might turn into a blizzard real soon." Joshua pulls the Broker (yes that's what I'm calling the car now) up beside a car buried in snow. "I'll stay in the car with Jove if that's okay if you. He might wake up soon, might wonder where you guys went.", Missy said putting a blanket on your sleeping comrade. Josh and Mordecai hop out of the car, "Hey Isaac. You coming or are you waiting out here?" He asks, holding a few metal flashlights in his left hand.

Seb ducked back down into the RV, pushing the aviators back up his muzzle to ensure they were properly protecting his eyes. He slung an RPK over his shoulder and picked up the flamethrower, cradling it with care as to not upset the mix. "Right. We'll be looking to you two for covering fire once we get on deck."

The Raid, Starring: Chalk, Amy, Zaweri, Seb
You fire the harpoon, it pierces the thin sheet-metal hull no problem. You climb the wire one after the other, and you all drop onto a small rail that you climb to the main deck. You can see some windows with smoke rising out of them, it could be a possible way into the fortress proper. But if you're willing to risk it. You could try to climb to the top where the stage and bridge are. You don't see anyone around you.
Deliverance Co. Seba 3, the skeleton crew: Drake and Ivan. Guest Starring: Derek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk3n-CkQao8 As you see your squadmates board the rolling fortress, you release the hook and begin to pull away. Suddenly the radio crackles and you hear a fellow Deliverance Co. member on the line! "Jesus Christ, we're taking some heavy fire here. He got by two of them damn buggies, James is hurt bad and they're trying to board. We need back up!" You see another RV burning up, black smoke trailing out behind it as it tries to flee the battlefield. You could spin around there to attempt to save them.
Meanwhile...
Derek: You were waiting for the signal. A single flare that would be shot up, illuminating the battlefield in a pale red glow. But it hasn't come yet. You've been waiting outside your truck for a good hour or so, watching Deliverance and Crazies' vehicles getting shredded apart, gasoline guzzling out of ruptured fuel tanks only to catch fire and burn the fields even more. You begin to wonder if there will be anything left to fight for once the battle is finished, and if the burnt lands are even worth killing The Crazies for.
But it doesn't matter, you're getting a hefty paycheck that would last you a good while for this crap.
You should probably head down into the fray and take out a few cars. Maybe protect their CO's car, maybe get a bonus for doing so.

"You really need something tha- you know what. I think it might be a good idea to bring that.", Joshua comments on you bringing your grenade launcher. You trudge through the snow up to the cave's mouth. Once inside you all switch on your flashlights. There's small pockets of snow inside here, with dirt mixed in with the snow. The cave's ceiling sits high above, with sharp ice sickles gently swaying in the cave's breeze. Its colder then you could ever imagine in here, you begin to shudder as a chilly breeze passes through your bandages.
"Alright, so Jove's mysterious benefactor said that he left us a rope to climb down somewhere overrrr.... there.", him and Mordecai head over to the elevator shaft, give the rope that was left there a good few tugs. "Seems stable enough. Might be best if we head down one at a time."
"Hey uhh, Isaac you wanna head down first?", he asks shining the light over at you to get your attention.

Derek, tired of observing the raging battle that was turning into a massacre, took a look at his contract. He read over it, noting how his first and most important goal was neutralizing the fortress. He thought to himself Fuck it, I want to get paid. I'm not gonna wait for a flare that will never come. He hoped in his car, pulled out his sawn-off, and floored it to the fortress. As he raced towards the fortress, he passed various vehicles from the Crazies and Deliverance Co, taking pot shots at any Crazies. A buggy that drove in front of him was devastated when he rammed it, sending the buggy spinning. He continues racing towards the fortress, reloading his sawn-off with one hand.

(Jesus, is it really that bad on this board that making the slightest joke about The Highway being dead because I didn't post in a while. Guys updates are slow on The Highway, mostly due to me waiting for everyone getting a chance to post. And then trying to figure out a way to make it interesting to read. After a while writing the someone exploded into bloody chunks gets boring, so I'm thinking up new ways of describing the carnage so reading it doesn't get too repetitive.)
(I'm not ending The Highway, and Iso will be super easy to write since I don't have to juggle around 8 different characters at a time. Seriously, the main reason RPs got canned on Cata was because there were so many being made and everyone was vying for the top spot to stay relevant. Here we got about 4 GMs, and everyone knows everyone. You don't have to be competitive to keep your RP in the top spot because you're afraid your players might move on. Here we got a small community of guys, and a small community of players. There's honestly nothing that will cancel The Highway... well there's always the possibility of this: !!FUN!!

Derek observes the fortress, observation being difficult due to the dust from the massive rolling fortress. He observes a ramp and door for vehicle maintenance and deployment, seeing how the door is made of weaker materials then the walls. He lines himself up and floors it, trying to ram the door, knowing the massive steel plow and solid chassis should make it easy.

[[Alright so new plan here because I really want to get on with this shit as much as you do. After you blow the fuck outta this fort, I'm immediately giving you guys a vague goal that you can completely ignore to fuck off to wherever you want. I wrote a huge goddamn world for you bitches to play in, and goddammit I'm going to see that through before this fucking week is up. Also battles are going to be scaled back, either I'm not good enough with big battles, I haven't figured out how to handle them properly; and to be honest, I always found small squad-based combat/battalion-sized combat to be more fun. There's less to keep up with, the enemies are normally more then just cannon-fodder like they are now, and I'm hoping to give you some enemies to actually loathe or love.]]
[[Basically, I want this battle done and over with because the GM-battle fatigue is starting to set in real fucking fast. From this I've taken away that I'll probably never run a wargame or 40k until I have some patience to keep up wit dis shit. NOW ON WITH THE UPDATE! And also because I feel like I'm spreading myself thin, I'll start railroading this bitch if there's not enough posts.]]
Boarding Party
Zaweri climbs up to the rusty metal bar window. With one good kick he absolutely decimates the pipe-made window, with the debris clutter below onto the floor inside. The entire group follows suite because the GM is tired of yer' shit and not posting anything, but oh we can- the GM ends this bitching right here. Anyway, you drop into a small platform that over looks a small portion of the working innards of the rolling fortress. The whole room is layered with a musty steam that slightly obscures your vision, on the 'ground floor' of the room is several butchered semi-truck cabs that have had their roofs and hoods butchered off. The roar of engines in here is almost deafening! Upon closer inspection of the cabs you can see barely clothes slaves working the cars, providing them with gasoline, spraying nitro into the vents, and keeping the engines cooled; they look starved and exhausted. Above the trucks is a cat walk that allows view over every car, with several slave drivers patrolling the walk, shooting any slave that stops working in the back of the head. And lining the walls of the 'engine room' are walkways that allow passage deeper into the fortress or into small rooms that most likely house supplies and basic quarters.
Just to the right of you is a small staircase to the walkways, and in front of you is a ladder that allows you to get onto the catwalk. The slave drivers haven't noticed you, and probably wouldn't be able to hear you either. Have fun.
Seba Co.
You leave your allies to their own devices, I mean you guys took on several suicide buggies with ease. These bitches can learn to man up or get the fuck outta life. The RV pulls away a bit from the fortress to allow Ivan to provide cover, but seeing as you're in a large scale battle with people exploding, getting maimed and gored on spikes and shit; it ain't going to be that easy. As you hear the clanging of footsteps and vehicles on the roof, you look up to see dirt-bike sized dents in the ceiling. You're being boarded!
Dagnabbit Derek
Before deciding to floor it, you realize that the ramp is suspended and has to be lowered in order for it to be rammed... and even then how the fuck do you ram a ramp? Like maybe if you went from behind and hit the underside of the ramp... fuck it, it doesn't matter. I just want this goddamned battle to be over with so we can get to the player-freedom induced fun! So because god fucking wills it to happen, as you rev up to ramming speed, the ramp lowers down with dozens of dirt biked mounted raiders ready to take off. Imagine their surprise when you're doomsday car comes rolling up the ramp, plowing through their number with ease. Blood splatters on your windshield along with a few eyeballs squished against the glass, delicious. You crash your way into your parking spot, between a raider styled RV and a few muscle cars with fuel tanks in the back.
Congrats, you're now on-board the fortress. Just riddle the place with bullets, I'll even give you some fucking Hotline Miami tunes to listen to while you write.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYtVf0wvPpc Broke Caravan: AKA, AJ doesn't break the fourth wall for you Vulnus, I know it sucks being alone with NPCs, but I'll make it worth it by making it more personal for your character.
You shimmy down the rope, the only light being the pale flicker of your flashlight (attached to a belt or something). Its weird not seeing your breath puffing out of your mouth, but it still feels colder the further you descend. Your footsteps echo up the elevator shaft in loud bangs, like someone trying to escape a vent, with the sounds of the creaking rope to sound in-between. You finally reach the bottom, past the elevator doors you shine your light to clear the darkness away. You see a small lobby, a busted computer monitor lays on its back with shards of glass surrounding it, a small rusted metal logo embedded into the floor with it being so deteriorated the letters aren't even legible, there's frozen dead plants sitting in between the chairs that are lined against the wall. You can smell copper and rot blowing in from the corridors in the back of the room.
Further past the small lobby area you can see offices with frosted glass, with some of the window-pane walls being shattered open. It seems safe enough.

You step into one of the many offices, large towering servers and hard-drives all sit like dormant monoliths, the tiles are coated in the decayed mush of decades old paper work, the desks have a fine layer of frozen moisture and dust covering their steely metal surfaces with the computers probably destroyed from the elements alone. You see that some of the drawers have been pulled out, some of them containing soda cans, pencils, and a few girly magazines with the title "Mathematical Curves" with the model on the front being nude except for a labcoat, and eyeglasses; posing suggestively with a ruler hanging on the bottom of their lip.
Your nose begins to run, with the icy cold liquid soaking into your bandages. You hear clanging from the elevator shaft, it seems that your crew might join you soon.

"Man, mighty chilly down here, should've brought some OrangeSludge." he rubs his hands together and looks into some of the other offices. You hear more clanging coming from the elevator, much faster in pace then Mordecai's. "So you find anything "coolio" down here yet kiddo?" He asks from another office across from you. Josh hops into the lobby, "So Mummy you find any cool swag we can pawn off yet? Or is it no luck in the cubicles?", he steps into the lobby and starts to shudder.

Isaac shrugged his shoulders "There's some...'magazines' over there if you want 'em Mordecai." He said, gesturing over towards where the magazines had been. Then to Joshua "You know, I got a name, and it just so happens I kinda like it. And nothing yet, or at least nothing really worth anything." Isaac started looking around the place, looking for any doors or offices, while saying under his breath "Tell me about it, feels like my blood is freezing here."

"Are they science magazines!? I've been wanting to finish reading about Dr. Aubrie's post-testing essay about how cybernetics could enhance the way we live and breathe!", like a giddy child on Christmas he comes jogging over to the magazines only to be disappointed. "If I had my testing kit, I could take some samples for research, but I left it in the car... damn." He then walks around the office you're in looking over the server towers. "You got it Tut, I won't yank your chain anymore." He says walking into one of the offices, you hear him grunting and cursing over a frozen door. After wandering around the lobby a bit you find a small red metal door marked "EMERGENCY EXIT/ENTRANCE: ONLY USE IN CASE OF EVACUATION OR RESCUE", you swear you can hear music or something coming from the other side of the door.

"Damn skippy, now lets get these limbs and get the Hell out of here. I'm started to get skived out."
You bust open the door to open up onto a small stair case, the ceiling collapsed, the stairs being nothing more then thin slabs of frosted concrete. Without the roof you can see that the lab you're about to enter is huge, large corridors stretching in all directions, busted cloning vats, electrified sludge slithers on the floor, the floor is nothing more then cave rock, and the ceiling is nothing but darkness. Parts of the floor are missing, like some giant monster clawed out a huge portion of it.
Down the stairs leads to the bottom floor, the cave floor, where you can already see several skeletons broken and contorted on the ground all piled together as if they were trying to climb up, until something got them. In the distance looms the ruined remains of the laboratory, with parts of the building have crumpled away revealing the interior. "Really spacious... oh look at those flickering little blobs of sludge, they probably have a bite to them."
(Basically the real laboratory is inside a cave, the laboratory looks like your average 4-story high office building. The first part of this little dungeon is a run to the laboratory, fighting, fleeing, or sneaking past muties. The second part is the lab itself, navigating a literal maze. And the third part is the boss, it'll be fun trust me.)

[[Its funny, I went back and read some of the old sheets. I feel immensely saddened by how many characters kinda just died right outside the gate, its a damn shame too. I would've loved to have seen Dusty or Perigrin's characters in action. Oh well life goes on.]]
Graham and the STALKERS
Camp Ambiance (LISTEN TO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE FULL CAMP EXPERIENCE!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQjUFp74PKI Your leader lights up, takes a drag and blows smoke into the low-hanging ceiling of this concrete hellhole. Its been how many days down in this cave? All for what a few limbs and some Juicers (read as: Crystals that basically provide near infinite electricity) that might not even be there anymore. And the constant drilling of those doors is really starting to grade on everyone in the camp. "Guys! We have activity!", says Spotter on the floor above you. "There's about three of them, ones wrapped in bandages, another is an old fart, and the last is some pretty-boy douchebag." Your leader takes another hit of his cigarette, "Let them get closer, if they start proving themselves to be a threat I'll tell Dimitri to start taking potshots at them as a warning." Spotter nods, and goes back to watching your uninvited guests.
You're currently sitting in a small camp that is made inside of an old security checkpoint, to the right of you are the large metal vault doors that are currently being drilled through, to your left is rows and rows of makeshift tents that are held up by office desks and chairs; some of the tents even have cardboard signs hanging right next to them, you read: "Fort Kickass" "Fort Dimitri, the best fort" "Sausage's Stash" and finally "Fort Fort". In front of you is a burning barrel fire that's giving off plenty of heat, enough to warm the entire checkpoint. In your lap is a small metal plate with some half-eaten sausages with mustard on them, and some crispy strips of bacon sitting on the side. Newt sits beside you in his lawn chair strumming away at his guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2T_fer1mfI You and your buddies slide down the ruined staircase, landing on the skeletons, they disintegrate into dust as you hit them! Your footsteps echo throughout the cave as you all begin your approach towards the laboratory, taking care not to step in the electric ooze. Taking at least three footsteps forward you hear something wet and squishy behind you, you turn to see the ooze rising up, towering a good two-feet above you. "H-HOLY SHIT!", Joshua blurts out as he draws his weapon only for it to be zapped out of his hand by a stray bolt that streaks across the membrane-like surface on the ooze. "They're sentient blobs!", Mordecai starts to backpedal from the looming blob of electricity.
You see that in the center of the blob's mass some gore-y mesh of brain and heart, electricity sparks off the core each time it beats!
Boarding Party
Chalk, almost as if you could see the probabilities in your head. You fire off two shots against one of the six slave drivers, the tear into his skull, scrambling his brains into a bloody mess as they pass. He collapses dead onto the catwalk, dropping his rifle in the process. Due to how loud it is in the room, no one heard this.
Zaweri, you pull the lever back on your XM8 and begin to rip into these slave assholes. The bullets sprays across the room, pinging off of metal bits, hitting some of the wires causing the catwalk to collapse in on itself causing several slavers to clumsily fall underneath the truck's wheels. But unfortunately some of your stray bullets did catch some of the slaves in vital places. But hey, every slaver is dead and you used up half of your XM8's ammunition.

Graham's left eye twitches a tad, he grumbles something along the lines of "Why am I even...". He finishes the rest of his meal, ripping into the sausages and tearing apart the bacon with his sharp maw, he puts the plate away. "Or, how about this? We could help them. Oh snap, us being actually helpful, we could get a reward, I could get away from here for once, think about it! You could get some loot, get rid of the snarky individual also known as myself, and everyone gets more rations if I'm gone!"

Derek admires the carnage for a moment then goes to the back of the truck, hopping on the turret. He shoots at any nearby raiders and the tires of nearby vehicles, the sound of the 45-70 Gov't "Buffalo" cartridge rips through the air, sounding incredibly loud in the garage.

[[Alright I know I said The Highway was back a few days ago, but I was exhausted. I finally got a full night's rest, watched Walking Dead and played SS13 to rekindle my bloodlust, and read The Lusty Argonian Maid (with pictures) to rekindle my lust for lizard babes. So instead of recording SS13 and crying into my sheets because I'm a lonely 2D Spessman, I'll instead write The Highway, then record SS13, and then fold my sheets into a huggable mass to try and pretend I have someone else in my life besides r34 and my right hand.]]

Graham and the STALKERS
Camp Ambiance (LISTEN TO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE FULL CAMP EXPERIENCE!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQjUFp74PKI Ivan (the leader) gives out a short chuckle as he cracks open a aromatic can of "Mountain Cew", "You are a funny guy, but you know no one is leaving until we get another route. The stairs are too slick to come back the way we came in. That, and Reese and Keith haven't come back up with that stack of papers. We need those Juicers or we're fucked when we get back home." Spotter pipes up, "They seem to be handling themselves pretty well out there, they're taking care of the damn Jelly pretty quickly. Should I signal them?" Ivan takes a sip, grunts, and then nods. Spotter pulls out his flashlight and begins turning it off and on again rapidly. Hopefully catching your "guests'" attention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2T_fer1mfI You crack the bolt back on your makeshift machine-pistol and squeeze down on the trigger, rattling around your hand, the bullets leaving gaping holes in the gelatinous form as it rips through its meaty center. Chunks split off and float inside the luminescent, seemingly stretching out the borders of the form. That's when you realize as it pushes against the edges of the gel- "FUCK! ITS SPLITTING APART!", Joshua shouts as he rips his shotgun from its holster and blasts one of the chunks before it can even escape!
The other meat chunk manages to split away taking a sizable volume of the original form with it. Now you have two Jellies to deal with, both are standing at about your height, and they appear to be winding back to attack!
Boarding Party
Derek: You hop out of your car and just begin to spam your lever action, flip cocking it after every shot using the added momentum of the recoil to help assist with speeding up the process. Sparks fly, blood spurts, people die, and AJ cries. Go into gory detail if you want about how you cleared several floors of mooks as you work your way to the other group.
Zaweri: You slide down the ladder and end up on the thin walkways to help the weak slaves out of their truck cabins. This has slowly brought the rolling fortress to a near halt.
Amy: You head down into a musty steam filled hallway that looks straight out of a psychological horror game, you can hear screams and the cocking of guns echo throughout the labyrinth of maintenance tunnels and hallways. There's a few doors to your left that are ajar allowing for a quick peak inside. One room houses some hastily put together beds, while the other appears to be a shower room you can see the shadows of two people in this room.
Ivan in Road Rash
The roof access to the RV pops open and three bikers jump down, three more stay up on the roof looking down at you from the roof access. Most likely wanting to watch the fight. (sorry I forgot your action, its late, and I'm sorry I forgot you in the last update. The next update will update with higher update quality update, update update. update)

Amy pauses in front of the possible shower room, peeking in through the gap for a moment. If she can't see whoever is in there from where she is, she nudges the door open and stands to the side of the doorway, hopefully out of the way if they decide to shoot at an opening door for some odd reason.

(lol Derek doesn't have a lever action) Derek guns down many inept raiders with his KSG. Many begin to run away due to his sheer badassery. He works his way to the command area, hosing down raiders as he goes.

Post by: ajwilli1 on November 05, 2015, 05:00:30 pm
[[Alright I'll start off this update with an apology, I've basically been creatively dead for the past several days and this clusterfuck of a battle isn't helping. Everytime I do one of these big ass battles I don't get simple, "Then I enter the room" Or, "I use my fist to punch him in the face." Instead I get things that ask if they'll just fight, or saying that they're just running through room to room clearing everyone out.
Yeah its real easy to GM that shit then, all I have to write is, "Okay you literally kill everyone and reach your destination." Like some kinda beep-boop, GPS computer. After this fucking retarded battle of retarded proportions there will be a new rule for battle and exploration.
"What you put in is what you get out." You just put a simple, "I loot all the rooms." Then fine, you'll get an item list and a set weight limit of what you can carry. You don't bother to look at the environment, then fine I'll just let potential traps go off in your face.
2nd I'll name the enemies from now on and just put their class right next to their name, so you'll get names like "Ballchucker" "Shamo" or "ticklemydickXD" with their enemy type right next to their name. That way its not some "I SHOOT NUMBER 3" deal.
ALSO! Fuck being a nice GM, I'm going to make sure I kill every single one of you bastards by the end of this. Also I'm going to be the old sarcastic asshole GM for this, I find it makes the game funnier. I mean no harm by it, I love you, and hate you all as equals.
-<3 AJ]]
An actual portrayal of what this RP will be now: (https://i.imgur.com/DNwFWXJ.jpg)
Boarding Party
Zaweri: After looking to the right of you, you see a large hallway that leads through the middle of the fortress all the way to the back end. Its almost as if the raiders engineered this place to be over and done with quickly. Maybe the leader is suicidal and just wants to leave this horrible world behind, or maybe its what he wacks it too... poor strategic planning that is.
Amy: You crouch down and can see perfectly fine into the room. You see two raiders standing next to each other talking. "Pretty crazy what's going on up there right?" "What with Captain and Slash? If they're plan is to get this place blown the fuck up I say its working perfectly." "Yeah and now Captain and Slash are trying to murder each other up there, apparently the reason why they want this place destroyed is to cover up some big raid on a town just south of here." "What that little place? Bullshit. "Crush, the Red Talking Raider" begins to head towards the door. "No its true, apparently that Deliverance HQ? Its sitting on something big, real big, like the shit you hear about out west big." "KORN, the Orange Talking Raider" follows behind him.
Derek: Yeah, yeah you gun everyone down, let's just get this over with. You find the command room by torturing someone by threatening to peel their balls off with a wirecutter, they squealed both times, one when you threatened and again when you actually did it. So you're like in front of the command room door, it would've had badass spikes that menace with spikes, but instead it just has a piece of notebook paper with the words "Coman Roem" taped to it. On the other side you hear the shredding of a guitar and some yelling. [[I know I told you just to kill the people, ijustwantthistoendplzgodmakeitend]]
They're about to open the door!
Ivan and The Bikers
The biker's sit there in stunned silence before their leader pops you upside the head with the back of his hand. "No shit we're gonna fight you, but I gotta ask. Are you... 'special' because like I don't wanna go to Hell for killing someone who doesn't understand the gravity of what's going on here."
Graham His Stalkers, and The Broken Caravan
Isaac:The group bolts off towards the lab, with Josh hanging behind to take potshots at the goop. You crack the barrel into place and fire of a grenade, it bounces and skids across the floor; you run towards Josh and both of you take cover behind a rock. The explosion rings out through the cave, deafening you. Peeking over the top of the rock, you see that the goop has been reduced to smoldering burned blobs of gel. Josh gets up and gives you a swift pat on the back and a thumbs up. He then starts towards the laboratory with Mordecai. You see a light flashing on what appears to be the roof of the laboratory. You hear him call down, "YOU COOL!? IF NOT MY WENDIGO FRIEND HERE WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF AND DRINK YOUR BLOOD!"
Joshua looks up and looks towards you, mouthing something that you couldn't make out in this light.
Graham: You see the one wrapped in bandages tell the other two to clear out, you see him whip out what looks like a homemade grenade launcher. He fires a shell off and ducks towards cover as it goes off, incinerating the Jelly. "Hot damn, the mummified one doesn't fuck around. I saw we signal them and see if they're cool." The spotter gets up and flickers his light off and on. He calls down, "YOU COOL!? IF NOT MY WENDIGO FRIEND HERE WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF AND DRINK YOUR BLOOD!"

NOW, JOKING ASIDE BECAUSE I SINCERELY DOUBT YOU HAVE A WENDIGO UP THERE WITH YOU, WE WON'T SHOOT IF YOU DON'T SHOOT!

Graham lowers his rifle, "C'mon down, as long as you're not gonna shoot at us, we won't shoot at you." He takes pulls down his hood, puts the goggles on his forehead, and lowers his facecloth to reveal his face. "I can prove that we have a wendigo over here."

BREAKING NEWS!! (from the past)
[/i][/size]
The news anchor shuffles his papers and looks over to the teleprompter to feed him the words that he needs to spew at his viewers about today's events. "-And no one survived. In other news! Today Ricky Robinson has been accepted into the Baseball Hall of Shame for using the performance enhancing drug, "I-Cor"." He looks into the camera with his handsomely devilish eyes. "And its funny because steroids have just become a requirement to play in the leagues nowadays.", the sports anchor chimed in with a chuckle. "Yeah I guess that means Mr. Bonds can finally have his status restored in the Hall of- wait what?" The color drains out of the lead anchor's face as he holds his ear piece. "Y-yes.... yes. Oh God-" He straightens himself out and looks stonefaced at the camera.
"We have c-confirmed... *ahem* confirmed reports of nuclear detonation in Los Angeles, Chicago, and reports of gunfire across the East Coast." He puts his hands on his face and rests his elbows on the table. Muttering something under his breath. The news station breaks out in a panic, several people asking what is going on, if places are really getting hit, and why? We're not at war, as a matter of fact its been the most peaceful it has in years. Their answer was cut short as people burst through the doors, dressed in riot gear with glowing sickly-yellow goggles gunning down people throughout the building.
The anchors make a break for the back door as the gunmen enter into view of the camera. "Is the device ready?", one of them asks the other. "Yes brother, the world will start anew once more." They set their weapons down and get on their knees, as a loud blast followed by a blinding wave of burning light pass over them.
Ivan The Space Biker
The leader chuckles and brings up his lead "beatin'" pipe. "Fine. But you better not miss, I got a metal plate in my head. See.", he wacks his head a few times with his pipe. You hear muffled metallic thumps inside of his head. He gestures for his men to just stand around, mostly because their raiders and they're probably high or some shit.
STALKERS, Graham, and the Broken Caravan
ISAAC:"I say they seem cool, if they wanted us dead then we'd be dead already.", he says slowly making his way towards the camp with Mordecai lingering behind with you. After some searching you can see a few small, really cramped caves that seem to stretch on upwards; you also take note of a thin concrete wall next to the right of the ruined lab... how did you see that? I'm not really sure.
GRAHAM: Your buddy turns around towards the cook, "Is that sausage stew almost ready? We have guests coming up." Spotter hops down and reaches into the wooden crate filled with E-Drinks (NOW WITH 150% MORE CAFFEINE) and Vodka, pulling out a few beverages for tonight's meal. "Yes, its almost done the onions just need to saute for a little longer."
YOU RUN INTO THE ROOM AND RIP AND TEAR! YOU BLAST THEIR HEADS INTO MEATY PASTE, INCLUDING THE MAIN BOSSU FUCKER. YOU SHOVE HIS GUITAR INTO HIS FACE AND HIT THE CHORDS WITH YOUR GUN AND HIS HEAD EXPLODES AS ELECTRICITY EXPLODES HIS FUCKING HEAD!
THE TWO BOSSES ARE DEAD, NOW GO and tell the rest of the party that this bullshit fight is over so we can get on with the good shit. Also you can take the guitar or whatever.

Derek takes the guitar with him, wiping the gore off of the guitar on the raider's clothes. He figures he could sell it for loads of cash to get a sweet Marlin rifle and maybe a Barrett. He sprints down the halls, shotgun at the ready, towards were he last saw the group.

[[Update it coming tonight, I'm currently editing my latest Space Station 13 video which shouldn't take long at all, and after that I'm getting more footage for some new rounds as well as starting a new series on Gmod Tower. I'm also currently writing up a few scripts for a Highway comic, I have the characters I want to use, just no names and I'm currently figuring out how the hell I even want them to look like or how I want to draw them. I'm thinking something like Jamie Hewlett or the typical graphic book art style (like Darkhorse?), but even then I haven't drawn jack shit and I don't even know where to start.
But I do have one character I do have fully developed and I do want to use, but he's basically a small side character that will probably not be mentioned at all. But before I even bother to script it, I'm hoping to get some short stories out and done as well. Basically I'm hopefully going to use this weekend to get a lot of shit I want done instead of wasting it playing Fallout 4 and Counter-Strike.]]

THE WAR IS OVER! BECAUSE FUCK YOU! [Deliverance Co people]
After what felt like a 4 month battle that actually lasted an hour or two finally draws to a close, because I'm sick of this shit and I'm a horrible GM, also because fuck you, you don't get a good update until you leave this shitfest. So anyway your CO wants to see one of you since Hobocop has been dead for the past few updates, shame because I wrote some sidequests for him which can now be inherited by one of you or something.
Broken Caravan, Graham, and the STALKERS
The Broke Caravan group heads up the small path towards the lab entering the cozy STALKER camp, where the main language is Russian, Cheeky-Breeki, and English. Acoustic guitar is gently strummed as the campfire crackles and pops. The heavy smell of strong alcohol and savory soups hangs in the air. On the fire is a small spit where a few pots hang over the fire with soup boiling inside.
Your companions take a seat and begin chatting up with the artifact hunters, while the Wendigo-man grabs an E-drink while offering you and your companions something to drink.

The underthoughtout Deliverance Company Muguffin, because fuck trying:
Basically the people in the RV show up to the fortress to pick you guys up, you all have your cars once more, who really gives a fuck about motives and all that shit when really you guys just want to go explore, do things at your pace instead of this railroady GM bullshit I keep trying to pull. So at the expense of fucking the 4th wall harder then a 30-something neckbeard fucks a blowup doll. Your main man, the CO Pyscho of Deliverance Company basically tells you to head to New York for your next assignment, they all pack up and leave to head back to your main village.
Originally there was going to be several scenes where I describe your mercenary company executing raiders in an attempt to compare that these guys are no better then the ones that go around raping and pillaging, but I then went back on that whole spiel because by the end of this you guys will have probably done something more fucked up than I could ever write.
So to basically put your update in list form in the hopes you'll actually roleplay for once since I think my updates where I over describe everything is killing the "players write this shit too" vibe that originally made The Highway really good, here you go:

No one decides to speak up, so the cook explains to you while he stirs his pot of stew. "We heard this vault has these little crystals powering it that we nicknamed "Juicers", people pay top dollar to find them, and you can probably see why seeing as those gas generators will only run for so long." The cook digs into his sack of cooking utensils and pulls out a ladle, pouring the chunky stew into bowls. "So I must ask, why are you down here?"

Name: Victor Chalk Age: ? (Anywhere from thirties to fifties, it's a little hard to tell.) Gender: Male Race: Bionic Nightmare
Weapons: -An enormous revolver, obviously made after the apocalypse, chambered for .454 Casull. Chalk is very close to this old thing, thinking of it as his trademark. He keeps it in a leather side holster, hidden beneath his duster. -A 12-gauge 'lupara' coat gun. It's a compact, homemade double-barrel shotgun with a large hook in the stock, allowing Chalk to sneakily hook it into his vest. -An AMT Baby Automag pistol in .22 LR, which Chalk keeps tucked into his belt. -Four tin cans, filled with black gunpowder and whatever Chalk could find (needles, nails, BBs, etc.) and welded shut, with small fuses running out of the top. Uniform: A heavy leather duster, frayed at the edges, showing signs of very heavy wear. Underneath, a Dragon Skin vest, also well-worn, over a cotton undershirt. Heavy cargo pants, kneepads, and hiking boots finish up his lower body. He's got strips of wool wrapped around his hands, almost like boxing tape. General Inventory: A foggy glass bottle full of probably-expired opiates meant for medium-sized animals. A small pack of chocolate cigarillos, and a little silver zippo to go with it. Two clips of .22 LR hollow-points reside in one pocket, for his AMT. Two speedloaders of semi-wadcutter rounds for his revolver. A dozen #3 steel shot shells for his coat gun, jangling in another internal pocket.
Perks: Bionic Nightmare: Is a literal mess of flesh filled with wires and assorted bionic parts. Chalk's skin is covered in surgical scars, wires peek out of his joints, one eye is replaced with a flickering red laser device, his voice is a jumble of static formed into words, and he suffers random electric shocks of varying intensity throughout the day. A Few Positive Bionics: The eye does help with aim, his muscles have hydraulic enhancements, and once in a while he can focus the shocks positively, giving his fist the shock of a stun-gun. Commando: Crazy unarmed capabilities. Traits: [Mildly Insane] [Hideous] [Very Strong] [Military Training (Or at least something very similar. Despite there being no real military to train him, Chalk does have some serious skills)] Skills: [Guns: 2] [Unarmed: 3] Backstory: Victor Chalk has no idea what happened to him. He knows his name, he knows the basic situation the world is in, and he knows what he's learned since he woke up on the side of the road about three years back, but anything before that is gone like the wind. He's guessing he wasn't always like this, but whether someone forced it upon him or a voluntary experiment gone awry, he doesn't know the cause. Chalk joined up with Deliverance because, well, what else can a monster like him do? He's good at killing people, it doesn't bother him, and he needs to make a living.

Graham opens his drink and takes a swig, he looks around until his eyes lock on seemingly nothing, his eyes widen. He looks genuinely scared. He gets up and says, "I'm-" *Wheeze* "I'm gonna go-" *cough* "Gonna go to sleep. 'Night." He heads off to his tent and gets ready to sleep, he takes off his boots, his goggles and set them outside his tent.

Derek decides to buy some guns before he leaves. He heads to Company's gun dealer and sets the electric guitar from the fortress on his counter (It's the guitar from Mad Max Fury Road but gold-plated). He says to the owner," Get me a FN Five-SeveN, 9 mags for it, 300 rounds of 5.7x28mm, a Marlin 1895SBL, a Thompson Center Arms Contender in 45-70, and 100 rounds of 45-70, and this priceless badass guitar is yours."

"You see one of our... 'contacts' told us that this place was once a lab used for creating human organs and limbs out of nothing. A doctor in town has employed us to gather some spare limbs and organs to help make his job a little easier, those wasp things that eat your limbs have been Hell on our town for weeks.", Joshua explains being handed a bowl of the aromatic stew. "I see, I see. So you're not here for the Juicers I take it." Joshua slurps down a chunky spoonful of the stew, "Ju- what now?" The Cook pours another bowl and hands it to you (ISAAC), "You know the little crystal things, they spark with pure energy, used in generators." Joshua slaps himself on the head, "Oh! You mean Energizers right!?"
"Wait that's what they call them out East? Typical...", The Cook stops himself before he offends his new guests. He looks towards you, "So what's with the bandages? It's gotta be something good, and it'll give us something to listen too instead of One-Note strumming his Ukulele."
One-Note takes offense at that statement, and makes a rude gesture towards The Cook.

Graham wakes up from his dreamless catnap, he slips on his boots and walks back to the main area. *clears throat* "Sorry about that... I tend to see and hear things that aren't actually there. Napping helps from time to time." he says, "Hey bandage dude, if those bandages are hiding scars or sumthin' I got some pretty gnarly ones if you're not comfortable sharing." he sits back down where he was sitting last.

Isaac shrugged and took the bowl. "It's not that great of a story really. Been wearing them since as far back as I remember. I mean I've been hit in the head and cut in the face a few times, but that ain't why I wear them." Isaac said, finding a seat and beginning to eat. "I wear 'em because quite a few people I've run into don't like my 'kind'." Isaac said, pulling part of the bandages down revealing the lower half of his head. "I figure if you have a wendigo you probably won't care about a lizard man."

"I got a story to share with you guys." Graham says, he lifts up his shirt to reveal some surgical scars. "This one time I got nabbed by some cult or something, thinkin' that they'd get superpowers or some shit from eating the organs of mutants. So they knocked me out and took a part of my liver, one 'a my kidneys, and my spleen. They stitched me back up good though, healed good. I was tied up to an old radiator, and one of them is taunting me, getting in me face y'know. So in order to escape I ripped his throat out with my teeth! Blood went everywhere and it was fantastic. And I escaped and the rest either disbanded or became wendigos." he says, putting his shirt back down.

With the battle totally legitimately won, totally, Chalk heaved with a little laughter, reclining back in one of the spacious benches of the RV. "Good fight, boys. Maybe we'll earn medals." He rumbled, no small amount of static in his voice as small sparks flew from the wires in and around his throat. "Seems we've got some time on our hands. I hear California's nice this time of year. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to head on over in that direction?" With that small suggestion, Chalk leaned back a little more, his headrest barely touching the middle of his back.

Deliverance Co. Finally Sweet Jesus we can really start this crap.
You all hop in your vehicles and totally abandon your orders. Deciding that getting to California would be the better deal and that some other goons can go deal with shit in New York. Heading off west you drive through burnt cornfields and ruined shacks that were pillaged a few days ago, what's especially shocking is that there's smoke still pouring out of these.
After a bit of driving you finally come across a road that points you in the direction you wish to head, west!
[[For travel I'll do a "tick" system, every turn it'll be five "ticks" (each tick basically equates to 10 minutes), these ticks can be uneventful boring driving, or it can be a random encounter with enemies, a hook for a quest, or something stupid. Or if you're lucky a place to scavenge. For the sake of my patience and your sanity, I'll have looting be a checklist of shit, if there's notable rooms I'll describe them, but I'm not taking the time anymore to describe Quickie Marts that have broken Slurpee Machines in the back.]]
[[Oh and for those wondering: Food will basically be fuel for your characters, as well as the thing that helps you recover health without medkits. Medicine is obvious.

You Travel: West!
-Nothing of interest -You come across an abandoned gas station with nothing inside it -You pass by a car wreck with some skeletons inside, you think there might be loot in the trunk! [I decide the loot from now on, you're not going to find a 50.Cal in the trunk, if you try to "spawn" loot in I'll have the trunk be armed with a bomb that I can guarantee will take off one of your arms.] -The road up ahead looks overgrown with grass and other plant life. -Nothing of interest

Broke Caravan and The STALKERS
The Leader comes out from his tent, "I hope you're enjoying your meals. But I have something to tell you all!" The Leader sounds excited, "Bernie and his friend just contacted me, they said they found a way to open this vault," He walks over banging on the steel metal doors. "But the problem is, is that they're trapped down there and the only way to open the doors is by using some control panel on the other side of this "lobby" they described. Bunch of mutants, and some weird shit is going on down there. Bernie told me that the other guy with them got torn apart by the air or something."
The Cook looks up after scooping another bowl, "An anomaly maybe?" The Leader looks at the cook shaking his head, "No, he said is was more "calculated" like whatever ripped him apart was finding a soft spot underneath his armor. It wasn't like being thrown into a giant fan. So before there are anymore questions, yes, we're going down there tonight. So finish your meals, stash your valuables, and I'll leave two of you on watch. Spotter and... you!" He points to some random STALKER sitting on a barrel. Spotter and the STALKER nod and finish their meals.
Once you're done eating (RP'ing) you'll head down into the bowels of the facility with the rest of the STALKERS.
Mordecai and Joshua finish their meals quickly, Joshua immediately grabs his gear and prepares himself for whatever awaits down in the labs. Mordecai however comes over to Isaac, "Isaac, why'd you hide your face? Is it a mutant thing or something else?"
Title: Re: The Highway: INTRODUCING SPUZZ!!!
Post by: RedVulnus on December 26, 2015, 11:33:46 pm
Isaac pulled the rest of the bandages off his head and looked at Mordecai. "Most mutants I know don't wear things like these. I wear them to hide and blend in with non mutants. As for why I wear them, well let's just say some humans gunned down some people very dear to me while I was out hunting. I found them and took care of business. Since then I've worn the bandages to...blend in shall we say. Easier to not walk into a town and have the racist hillbillies try and kill me and I got some sympathy since some folks thought I was a burn victim." Isaac pulled out his grenade launcher and put another grenade in the cylinder before snapping it shut "Better keep our weapons loaded Mordecai." Isaac looked at Joshua and asked "Wonder what Joshua thinks of me now that he knows. We didn't get along too well before hand but I don't know his prejudices."

Graham scarfs down the stew, swallowing a couple times. It tastes good, but you have to swallow a couple of times to get it down.

Derek looks over his pile of guns and decides to always keep the Model 29 and Browning Hi-Power in his holsters, putting the rest of his pistols in the custom center console. He grabs the Marlin, and puts it in the passenger seat. He radios the RV and says," Lets stop at the nearest town, I could use some supplies." He shoves the moldy food into a box, putting the moldy bread in another box so eh could cultivate it for penicillin.

Having taken the task of driving, Chalk chimes back in response Derek. "Pssh, see any towns 'round us? Know of any towns 'round here? Helpful signs advertising cheap guns? No? Well, guess that has to wait, huh?" It's a little hard to read into his sarcasm through all the growling static from his false voice, but judging from the robotic chuckle following the statement, it's not in bad spirits. "Anyhow, I'm pulling up here. Could be useful.....things in the trunk of this car." Chalk doesn't know why he'd think there would be loot in an ancient old car. A good gut feeling, maybe?

GET OUT OF HERE STALKER [Graham/Broke Caravan]
Isaac: Mordecai slips his piece into his lab coat then leans over to whisper to you, "Believe it or not he used to be very different back in the day, he was one of my patients. Back before he got into the caravan business he was a bouncer for some nightclub back in NeoTokyo. Took a few good hits every once in a while, mostly from muties that had too much to drink or from ones that just despised humans." Taking a deep breath he continued. "Never had the prejudice he has now, but I think that came when he... it was probably due to Kat- *sigh* Missy's brother. If I can, I'll tell you what happened later, not now though."
Everyone Else: Finishing your meal, with your bellies full of delicious stew. You lock and load, getting ready to head into the belly of this horrible place. The Leader informs you all of what to expect once you arrive down there. You pass through corridors dimly lit with propane lamps, past empty rooms cleared of any valuables that might be their with half the doorways blocked by desks and filing cabinets.
"-mutants of the feral sort, fleshy blobs, anomalies, Hell even the structure itself is a danger if you're not careful. The Russian's built these places to last, but the past thirty or so years have no been kind to these concrete walls; our forefathers never considered corrosion and gravitational breaks to tear down what they created. Back then they never had to worry about the Hellish crap we do. So for the tourists, please be watchful around you, stay in groups, and if things go crazy try to get back to the surface.", he explains to everyone as he approaches the elevator doors. He presses the button and the doors open, allowing the group to enter.
You ride the elevator down quite a ways, the doors open to reveal a pitch black concrete room. Everyone switches their lights on: you see a medium sized concrete room, the floors are cracked and smeared with a rust colored substance, you can smell something acidic hanging in the air, the walls are lined with servers and reel-computers that are all oozing corrosive brown ooze. There are two doors, one is knocked off it's hinges leading west into a hallway, while the other door is cracked open it leads east into a small bathroom.
The STALKERS flood into the concrete room and prepare to head west. "I wouldn't touch that brown shit, believe it or not it's battery acid. Really, really corrosive battery acid. That shit will melt right through the bone.", one of the STALKERS explain as he looks into the west hallway.
Mordecai looks interested in scooping some of the spoiled battery acid. For what reason that could be you can't place, maybe to help remove the common wart?
Joshua stacks up against the doorway leading west with some of the other STALKERs, waiting for the signal to storm into the room.

Derek: After making the call you see the RV pull over to the side of the road to loot the car [READ THEIR UPDATE TO SEE WHAT THEY FIND]. Being a smart cookie you decide to use your moldy old food to create penicillin! You now get +1 penicillin for every 20 ticks!

Graham looks around the room, cringes at the acid. He keeps an ear out, trying to hear something, anything, metal scraping, footfalls, anything. He pulls out his knife, having it held in the hand steadying the rifle. "Could you keep the sound to a minimum? I want to know where the thing is before it knows where we are. It must make some sort of noise or something." He says, quietly. He seems to be focusing on listening on any foreign sounds, trying to block out breathing.

You don't belong here, don't you get it? [Graham/Broke Caravan]
Graham: Listening carefully you can hear gurgling and something slithering very slowly across the floor in the next room, from previous experience you know that it's the sounds of a Glurp. A passive blob of human flesh that slithers and slides around making cute little gurgling noises (think of a blob fish/not that orange blob crap from above). You also think you hear something far more sinister echoing out deeper into the building, the shrieking of metal scraping across concrete.
Mordecai nods to Isaac and pulls out a small vile, putting it under where the acidic sludge is dripping he collects a bit of the acid. Seals it and slips the container into his jacket pocket.
Deliverance Co.
Ivan: You run to Chalk.
Derek: You set the fuel siphoning gear next to the gas tank of the car. You approach one of the rusty doors and pull it off, getting inside the car you search it's dashboard to find decomposed traffic tickets, a water damaged "Laborer Documentation" paper, and a slightly damaged map of the US during 2017. Despite some water splotches in the western regions, you have a decent map of the East Coast and Central US.
It shows what cities used to be where, checkpoint locations, worker's union camps, embassies for the US, Chinese, and Russia, and it also details the borders of these countries. With Russia taking up most of the northern parts of the US excluding New York, Maine, and the rest of the East Coast. While China occupies most of the south.

((It's being fired out of a grenade launcher, so suddenly you have a smaller explosion mixed with acid that melts you to the bloody bone. The glass is so the acid doesn't melt through the metal like some kinds of highly concentrated acids would, well if I recall science class correctly. My character is kind of based around rigging together make shift weapons, ammo, and coming up with better ways to kill shit. So I think making acid grenades for his GL would be somewhat feasible, but IDK, acid grenades still sound really useful for those things that don't die from bullets.))

STALKERS
The STALKERS heave a sigh of relief, "Alright just a few of the little ones, you know out west in the nicer towns, people keep them as pets. A little fucked up if you ask me, but hey they pay us for them. Worse they'll do is "hump" your leg and ooze on you. Now let's move." The STALKERs rush into the western hallway, their lights bobbing around illuminating a storm of dust particles. You can see the Glurps glistening in the light, making small belching sounds as they try to slide away from the STALKERS.
The hallway is quite short and is in the shape of a 'T'. At the end of the hallway is a gold plague that has been warped from extreme heat, to the right the hallway leads into some stairs that descend deeper into the facility. Some Stalkers are already making their way down, Joshua heads across the hallway towards the door at the end of the hallway, readying his gun he peeks inside.

"Nice to know you got my back Reptar.", Joshua says to Isaac as he stacks up behind him. You both breach into the room to find a small office. It's sparsely populated with furniture with a busted up metal desk and a overturned filing cabinet sitting in the corner. The floor is covered in wooden shards, computer parts, and plastic that probably housed a desktop tower and monitor.
Besides the giant hole in the left corner of the room there's not much here. Joshua approaches the hole and shines his light down it, "I see something down there, I'm going to check it out. Mind giving me a hand down."

With a thump and a crash Duncan lands face first onto the floor of the RV. As he stands back up, he groans as he wipes that post-dimensional teleportation wariness from his face. Confused since this place looked a lot like his RV...
"What kinda bullshit is this? Goddamn beeman telling me there was fried chicken in that portal..."
With that he entered the driver's seat and tried to start the engine but some moron forgot to fuel this stupid thing. And with that, he exited the RV and opened up the side hatch to retrieve a spare fuel can. With the RV fueled up, he sat down in the driver's seat where he had spent much to none of his time.

For example there isn't a Ybox 480 hooked up to the television and none of my books are inside the couch. I can tell you without even needing to open the back door that it leads to a large bedroom."

"Why, mercs, of course, friend!" Chalk booms as he swaggers back into the RV, his duster flapping dramatically with his entrance. His scarred, wire-filled mess of a face is twisted into the general shape of a smile, and a colossal gloved hand stretches out towards Duncan in greeting. "Victor Chalk. Deliverance Company. One man squad. I see before me a man who's, for lack of a better word, seen some shit." Chalk's voice, despite sounding akin to a battle-scarred Microsoft Sam, seems generally friendly.

I said we're mercs, right? So, let's make some educated guesses. Deliverance Company? Probably a merc outfit, right, Mr. Time Traveler?" Chalk leans up against the wall across from the driver's seat, crossing his arms. "Now then. Let's get to that part. You show up, from, what, the closet? Spoutin' nonsense about this being your RV or something? Care to spread a little light on the situation?" The jovial attitude is gone from his voice at this point.

"Well it was more like a rift inside the closet which in my world was a bedroom. So here I was, just found this purple gem sitting in the middle of this empty room in a gas station in New York. No shelves, no nothing. So we keep it for awhile but we end up trading it for an RV that has a 50. on the top with some solar panels. We drive all the way from New York to Sacramento fighting zombies to bandits in business suits. It was there I traded out my left arm for some hardware and we needed to repair the RV. So while it's getting repaired I go and take a nap and that purple crystal we found back in New York is sitting on the table and after picking it up, I found myself here. In a place I know yet don't know."

Chalk listens to Duncan talk, his face remaining blank throughout the small speech. After a few moments of silence following Duncan's final sentence, he opens his mouth to speak. "Well now. That was a proper story, wasn't it?" Another small electric chuckle follows this declaration. "Now, I'm gonna be honest. That's a stretch. A real big one. Hell, I'm a bionic soldier made of stitched skin and half-fucked CBMs walking around in a cowboy duster, and that's crazy to me. Truth is, I don't really care. This world's pretty fucked, I bet anything could happen. So, truth or not, welcome aboard, I guess. Not like there's anywhere else for ya to go right now, I suppose."
Shrugging his shoulders, Chalk starts walking to the back of the RV, but turns back for another quick question. "Right. You got a name, pal?"

You begin to lower Joshua down into the hole, he rest his foot on a pipe. "Shit this look deeper then I- OH FUCK!", before you know it you're being pulled head first down the hole, you hear a pipe clatter to the floor below. You painfully land beside Joshua whose clutching the side of his chest. "F-fucking hell... hurgh..." he slowly gets to his knees, still gasping for air. You're now on the ground, everything down here is pitch-black and the only light you see is Graham's flashlight illuminating the ceiling of the room you just fell from.

"You really have to ask what they did in these labs to make the food hostile.", Joshua says as he unholsters his shotgun taking a spot by your side. You fire a quick burst at the food! The bullets pierce the initial layer of food, blood and moldy gunk fly off as the bullets impact. SUDDENLY! The food rears up, the moldy gunk sprays off like an explosion! Underneath the layers of food is a giant snake, it's scales shine with blood and a thin layer of mucus, it's fangs are razor sharp with violet venom dripping off the tip of it's fangs, it prepares to strike!
Joshua fires both barrels on his shotgun at the snake's head! The blast hits the snake right in the head, scales fly off in bloody chunks revealing a soft layer of muscle!

Suits is what we've started calling'em, these guys have been terrorizing the town down the road," He points west. "Needless to say we bit off more then we could chew, one of them saw us.

"Huh," The man stops for a second and waves toward Ivan. "Of course! They're all down in the ditch though picking through the bodies like vultures to corpses. They're real nice folks, but they don't really respect the dead like me and my friend do." Zaweri and The Man in Gold proceed into the valley, as you head into the rim of the valley you can see the amount of carnage that took place. Completely ignoring Chalk's rumblings.
Buggies engulfed in flames with their drivers' corpses sizzling inside the seats, ATVs reduced to nothing but scrap metal scattered around the valley, black patches of grass where flames once stood, blackened ash gently blowing over the battlefield coating everything like snow. You can see people with rifles on their backs picking through the wreckage, taking batteries, siphoning gasoline from the vehicles that weren't completely demolished. A few people take notice too you to entering into the scarred valley.
In the center of all this chaos is a small bike with a sidecar attached, in the sidecar is a man that seems as old as the buildings you've seen reclaimed by nature; his hair is nappy, covered in grass, twigs, and mud. He has a beard that is so long that it goes over the hood of the sidecar and rests in a pile on the ground.
"So does this one actually know medicine or is this another "doctor".", The old man cackles out as he leans back in the seat revealing his bullet wound. It hit him center mass in the left pec, blood has stopped oozing out of the wound. But the shrapnel needs to be removed and the wound needs to be cleaned up.
"Be nice you old kook, the man here didn't even have to bother coming down here.", the cowboy chuckles as he takes a seat on his bike.

Jacob: Breaks open the chamber sending two smoking shells flying out of the gun, they twirl and curl as they swirl through the air and unto the ground. He slams two new shells into the gun and flicks the barrel back into place.
Graham: Without any specified orientation of fire I let the dice decide. You fire off a few rounds from your lever-action, flames spew from the barrel with each shot, hot cartridges fly out the chamber as you cock the lever to load the next round in. Your bullets scrape off more scales from the center of the snake's back. Exposing more of it's tender flesh. Blood creeps up on the surface of the fleshy bits, and pools up in the crevices in it's flesh.
You can hear people rushing down a flight of stairs on the other side of the blocked door! Lights begin to shine through the glass windows on the doors!
The snake looks like it's about to give into the sweet embrace of death!

Being a little too excited to miss out on some potential action, Ivan runs towards where they went. Seeing much of the same. People take more notice to the random guy running down the hill with the gun in his hand, but they soon go back to looting.
You can see Zaweri about to tend to some older gentleman, with The Man in Gold sitting on the main bike twirling a semi-automatic pistol around like a true desperado.

The old man screams in agony! Before laughing like mad, "I'm just kidding-" The Man in Gold pops the old man upside the back of the head. "Pardon him, he's a fool-" "BAH! Whadda you'know I've been on this Earth longer, and last I checked it was yer' generation that put us in this mess." The Golden Cowboy sighs and shakes your hands, Zaweri's in the right, Ivan's in the left. "I have to thank you for helping, it's not often I see strangers helping those in need. Especially from your coworkers. If you wish, we could ride into town together. I'm pretty sure I can afford a round of drinks for you and your crew."

Everyone: Without even giving the snake a chance to come back from it's stunned phase, you all unload into the snake's head. Joshua's shotgun blast splatters the entire face into gore, Isaac's SMG peppering shreds what was left of the muscle, and Graham's lever action rounds rip what's left of the snake's brain asunder!
As the snake's lifeless body collapses to the ground with a thunderous thud, sending a thick splattering of snake gore over the combatants, The STALKERs kick through the door using their combined might! Some of them crash to the ground as the door bursts open. "Ah, Joshua, Isaac, The Yetti, there you all are! Having an adventure without us!? MY GOD! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT SNAKE!", Mordecai screams as he rushes over to the snake's lifeless body. Some of the STALKERS elbow each other and point towards Mordecai looking over the snake in fascination, chuckling to themselves. "Damn, Cook this looks bigger then the one you bagged back in the home country.", one of them says looking over the snake taking care not to step in the venom that was oozing out of the gore'd head. "Yeah but I didn't total the head, that venom makes for great booze if you know how to brew it.", said Cook as he lifted parts of the snake with the barrel of his gun.
The Commander however was not pleased with this, "Graham, I thought you'd have been smarter to know that wandering off from the group like that could've gotten you killed. Your lucky that snake didn't put up much of a fight. So in order to keep your asses all alive don't get separated again, we have a goal here. You can loot all you want on the way back."

Name: Doctor Eli Keaton Age: It's hard to tell, for some reason. Gender: Male Race: Human, some bionic mods here and there.
Weapon: -An Anderson Wheeler Mark VII, a seven-shot .357 magnum revolver Eli keeps in a holster at his belt. -An unnecessarily large and powerful lever-action rifle in .500 S&W, with a redundant suppressor slapped on the front. Eli keeps it slung over his back. -An unnecessarily dapper butterfly knife, serrated along the back, with fancy 'lil wooden handles.
Uniform: -A thin black leather overcoat, covered in compact pockets, and short enough for ease of movement in fast-paced situations. -Some "shank-leather;" essentially a thick leather vest reinforced with thin sheets of steel here and there. -A pair of patchwork pants with padding and extra pockets sewn in here and there. They're held up with a tarnished brown leather belt. -A pair of well-preserved, rugged hiking boots. -A highly customized gas mask, seemingly one of those old surplus snorkel ones with a beak-like protrusion protecting the snorkel-filter. Kept on a belt loop when not in use. -A wide-brimmed black leather hat. -Fingerless leather gauntlets, reinforced along the sides with riveted pieces of thin steel. -An easy-to-carry canvas sling backpack, festooned with pins from before the whole apocalypse thing.
General Inventory: -Fourteen .357 rounds in addition to the seven already within the revolver. -Seven rounds for the rifle in addition to the seven within. -An improvised Walkman-like device, with crappy headphones to go with it. -DRUGZ: More than I could really list. A good half-pound of crystal meth, maybe a whole pound of cocaine, a few medium bags of weed separated by type, some dried opium bricks, a large Ziploc filled with hallucinogenic mushrooms, another Ziploc of sugar cubes laced with LSD, a large, smudged plastic bottle of liquid methadone, a small glass jar filled to the brim with tablets of PCP, a large, plastic case of those little liquor bottles they serve at gas stations and on airplanes, and more goddamn prescription drug bottles than you could imagine, namely Adderall, Xanax, codeine, co-codaprin, Ambien, morphine, and the like. A few cigars, cigarettes, cigarillos, kreteks, beedis, menthols, actual rolling tobacco, and other tobacco-related products. -One or two opium pipes, rolling papers, an ornate smoking pipe that may actually be an antique peace pipe Eli found at a museum, and some syringes he keeps mildly clean.
Perks: Doc Fucking Keaton: His perpetual highness makes everything that much more awesome. Traits: [OD-Protection-Bionic] [Lucky] [Addiction: Literally Fucking Anything] Skills:[Guns 2] [Medicine 1] [Melee 1] Backstory: Due to his cripplingly tragic past and the fact that he may or may not have helped kickstart this whole apocalypse thing, Eli's devolved into taking literally anything that'll do anything to keep himself from putting a bullet in his head. At this point, there is no going back, ever, and so far, that's not bothering him one bit.
After crashing his rideable eyebot on the RV of some crazy fucks a few years back, Eli's gone from group to group, fucking about, being him, makin' cash, slapping hoes and getting as high as humanly possible every second of every day.
Fuck if anyone, even him, knows where he's going next.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejvcd-JeVCQ
Yet another character gets thrown into the fray as he falls from the freezer of the refrigerator, guess there was a worm hole in there the whole time. The hole disappears and takes your ice cream with it!
You follow the cowboy for a few miles as you travel together to the town, you notice that the terrain is starting to change from fields of tall grass and trees to sand and dead weeds that dance on the ground as the wind blow across the dunes. Up ahead you see the ruins of the dead city, in the center is a giant palisade constructed from cars and various bits of scrap, Christmas lights and porch lights are strung across the top of the wall. The blink and flash with no rhythm.
You enter the town with no problems.
Once inside you see that the place is relatively populated, buildings have been repaired and patched up, armed guards patrol on catwalks that are connected in-between and along the buildings. There's a old brick building that's been converted into a bar and sleeping quarters, there's no prices on how much it is for a room taped to the window, but it is showing a discount on drinks tonight. Beside the bar is an old Victorian-styled house that's been converted into a "quaint general store with a little bit of everything for day-to-day existence", the name of the store is "Barkley's". Across the street is a shelled concrete office building that has been cleaned out and converted into a market, people sit at their stores shouting about their deals and prices. Looking around some more you see that the town is a decent size and you can't see everything from the entrance, but you think you can see a stronghold for the local militia down the road to your right, and to your left you see a lot planters and cultivated dirt that appears to be growing some form of corn.

"-head down corridor 9 and cut through the cloning laboratories, Chet and Clyde said that the way the originally came in collapsed behind them so we're going the long way around. Alright you three will take the back, the newcomers will take up the center, me and Graham will take up the front. Cook you're going to be on point. It's a short walk through those doors, let's hope we don't run into anything too bad." Commander points two fingers to the doors across the cafeteria and begins to command you and the STALKERs to get into formation. (Since I'm going to guess you aren't going to object) You form up and head through the doors.
Cook kicks open the doors to corridor 9 revealing a short linoleum tiled hallway that's covered in dried blood, broken glass vials, overturned computer carts, and a few skeletons clutching shredded guns with casings littered throughout the small space. To your immediate right is the collapsed stairway that Chet and Clyde were talking about. You begin to make your way down the hallway still in formation, the STALKERS and you start looking around the hallway. Shining your lights around the hallway and down halls that branch off this one, you see faint glimmers of something running down one of the branching halls, but you don't hear anything except the breathing of your fellow man.
You make it to the cloning labs door without trouble, the airlock leading into the actual lab has been forced open. "Sounds like this is the place you guys were looking for, boss... we might want to fan out and secure the area. I'm seeing "movement".", whispered Cook as he lowered himself to his knees and crouching his way into the forsaken laboratory.

Doctor Feelgood
"...White Rabbit.... smoking caterpillar" The song plays muffled in your drug induced state. Nothing has happened yet, it's that initial haze taking hold before the trip really starts. The room, a small smoking room converted into a hardcore drug den for "paying VIPs" in this shitty bar, twists and contorts like it was build with non-euclidean geometry. Your eyes are watery and you feel weak, but at peace. Besides you look far better then half the wastes of skin around you, some run away teen twitching in the corner because she took one to many pills, presumably her "boyfriend" some thirty-ish dirt bag that's hogging the bong from everyone else. The guy sitting next to you who soiled himself, the needle still stuck in his swollen arm that has turned different shades of violet and blue.
You wonder if this would be enough to purge yourself of the guilt that your GM has prepared you for, no... what even is a GM? You somehow ended the world, that's it, yeah you accidentally blew up the world because you thought that cult was right... no that cult wasn't right, was it? You think you were really in it for the blow, they had some pure "grade-A" Colombian shit didn't they.
FUCK! FUCK! You forgot what you even took, LSD? Crack? Maybe some roofies you dropped in your whiskey because you really like passing out!?
Wait, that carpet looks funny... those spots and stains, did someone spill their drink... or is it where someone pissed... what's with you and piss right now. Isn't that weird though... like why do we- *this lasts for a while okay*
Finally after you become sapient, instead of a meat bag loaded up with uppers and downers. You look around the room once more. It still looks the same but some of the people are coming down, and in your couch buddies case. Most likely dead. There's a various assortment of drugs on the table, but sadly the bong and crack pipes got busted up when someone slammed their booze on the table. Behind you there's a couple of mattresses if you wanna get down to it, which it appears there's already a couple doing that. The couches are all torn and ripped up, the wallpaper in the room is peeling and stained yellow, and the door leading back out into the bar is about the only nice thing in this room.

Eli wasn't feeling all that much at the time. He hadn't been feeling all that much for quite a while. Smoke, sip, swallow and shoot were the only words that really had any meaning for him at the time being. The Big S's. The Four S's. Something like that. Anyways, he didn't really move all that much for a few more minutes. Nobody in the room did. Some might've been dead, but that didn't bother the Doc all that much. He'd been around dead people a lot. No sense in being afraid of death.
After a bit of time inside his own head, Eli rose. It was a fast, spastic, seizure-like motion. Like he was learning to walk. One step, two, adjusting to rubber legs, stumbling, retching, feeling the shit clogging his veins and the chemicals fuming in the space between his skull and his brain. Not enough, in his humble opinion. Never enough. After clearing his throat and stretching out a little, Eli stumbled as best he could to the fancy door in the room of half-dead junkies and broken bongs. That is, after pilfering some of the pills and powder on the table. He already had a stash for the road, but those never lasted as long as he liked.
The door opened with a creak like no other. The bar wasn't the nicest place, but it definitely wasn't the worst he'd ever stayed in. There was something wrong with Eli's head. He couldn't quite place his finger on it, but he didn't like it. Codeine would fix that. Codeine and some Knob Creek, he thought to himself, making a few shaky steps towards the door of the bar. He had to get out of this shithole sometime soon.

It had been so long since Duncan has seen so many people gathered together without murderizing each other. He quickly flipped down the driver's seat mirror above his head and fixed his hair to the best of his abilities. It's probably been several years since he's cared about his appearance but first impressions are everything!
Curious of what shenanigans he could get into, he took the keys out of the RV and slipped them into his breast pocket. He then made his way to the general store to see what he could score.

Quaint General Store
You walk into the dusty old home to see that it is in fact, a quaint general store with a little bit of everything for day to day living. Food stacked on wooden shelves, drinks in busted up over turned fridges, and an assortment of camping gear. It looked like a few rooms in the house were knocked down to make room for all this, as the floor changes abruptly from tile, to carpet, to wood, and finally back to carpet. Splitting the house right down the middle is a long table that separates the "shopping floor" from the back of the store, in the back of the store you can see guns neatly lined up and displayed in their racks, a table stacked with assortments of ammunition, and a small pile of sharp weapons. To prevent people from hopping over the table and looting the place, a chainlink fence as been installed on top of the table acting like a wall. In the middle of this "wall" is a window where the store owner sits shouting at some man who just came in.
"-I DON'T WANT YOUR CHINK CHANGE!" Screamed the store owner, flinging what appeared to be bottlecaps back at the customer who was dressed in a blue jumpsuit. "CASH! COLD HARD AMERICAN BUCKS ARE EXCEPTED HERE! YOU WANNA BUY SOMETHING WITH SODA POP MONEY THEN YOU CROSS BACK INTO YOUR COUNTRY! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!" The customer scooped up his caps, "Fine you bastard, see if you're store is still here when the rest of the guys here about this!" The customer flipped the store owner off and rushed out the door pushing past Duncan and Amy.
The storeowner mumbled something under his breath and readied himself, "I apologize for that... if you hadn't noticed we take cash. Seeing as how you had to sit through that, and you're Deliverance boys. I'll cut you a discount on anything you see."
The Bar
Zaweri and Ivan walk through the double doors leading to the bar, it appeared that The Goldman and his older friend have already began ordering rounds for the bar. One of the "barmaids" leans on you and hands you a shot glass filled with your choice of poison. Whiskey, a man's drink.
Eli "drunkenly" stumbled out the door into... a celebration. It wasn't even a second and he felt the cold feeling of iced booze in his hand. Looked to be the cheapy shit, "Scudd Visor". Wow what a welcome, that drunk den you crawled out of is already looking better.
S T A L K E Rs
One of the Stalkers, you think his name was Stripes or something. Follows behind you. "Alright, I got your back.", he whispers. Your lights bounce to the rhythm of your steps, you crunch across broken glass jars and chemical containers with whatever liquid was in them eroding the linoleum. It felt like you were stepping on freshly chewed gum.
You reach the end of the hallway to see it split into another hallway, if you go left you head down a darkened hallway where you can't see much, and if you go right... you go down a darkened hallway. Not really much to go on, this laboratory doesn't really have any clear markers. Half the paint that used to label these sections are too faded and warped to read and the doors aren't even labeled.

The shopkeeper picks up the old bit of plastic. "Hrm... I may have something for this... let me check." The man ducks under the counter, rifling through some old junk. "No.. no.... no.. ah! Here it is." He stands back up with a old card reader in his hand, he blows on it sending a huge cloud of dust Duncan's way. The storeowner wafts the dust away, "Sorry about that, but lets see if it even works." He grabs you card and swipes it real quick. The machine lets out a harsh beep, he swipes it once more and it seems to accept it. "Things old, dust might've messed it up...", he waves your card around chuckling. The machine boops and displays a message, "WE DON'T TAKE AMERICAN EXPRESSWAY!". "Whelp seems like the machine has gone Red, sorry about that. Even then I need cold hard cash my friend."

Eli tilts his hat over his eyes as he continues into the main room of the bar, lazily spreading his arms out in a stretch and throwing back a yawn. "WOO! Now that was a drug den and a half. I gotta come back here more often!" He blusters to nobody in particular, winking to the barmaid as she passes him the cheap beer. Good 'ol Scudd Visor. Half the flavor, twice the ABV.
Taking a good chug of the beer-as in downing the whole bottle, reaching over a table and grabbing someone else's, then drinking that one too-Eli swaggers over to the bar, taking a heavy seat near the Man in Gold. He'd been in town long enough to hear some banter about this stranger, but doubted he was as spectacular as the stories made him sound. He taps the bar loud enough to get the tender's attention, before silently gesturing to whatever bottle was closest to get himself a drink.
"You're in my seat, Goldy. But I guess I could make an exception for someone with such a rep." He half-mutters to the cowboy, his hat still concealing most of his face.

Isaac heads down the right hallway, Graham is assumed dead at this point, and Stripes follows suit. You head down the right hallways walking past the usual broken down science-lab aesthetics. You reach another fork in the hallway only discovering something, a figure standing in your flashlight's beam.
You can tell they're wearing some heavy duty gear, with a big pack on their pack and pockets all over their shirt and pants, they're wearing cargo boots with their pants tucked into them. They stand hunched over, vomiting profusely.
Stripes takes a step in front of you and begins to lower his gun, "Chet? Is that you... are you okay?"
Chet? Begins to grumble and straightens up, bile still pouring out from his mouth. They turn around revealing their face. Their eyes are blood shot and encrusted with mucus, their nose is bright red and dried blood is encrusted under his nostrils, his mouth is busted and swollen, his skin his pale and covered in fluids. He struggles to take a step toward you, projectile vomiting at you, it splashing just a foot from you.
"No, no... no... fuck.", Stripes whimpers out.
THE STORE!!!!
The storeowner keeps his eyebrow raised the whole time as he checks you out at the counter. "Listen, since I value my customer's lives. Whatever you got going here, keep it under wraps. The last two that came into town are now "wall decor", if you get what I'm saying.", he then hands you your items, neatly placed in a dirty old plastic bag. He doesn't turn his gaze away as you walk out the store.
The crowd sings their cheers and raises their glasses, The Man in Gold ducks his head while his partner soaks in the glory!
"Ah a song I can get behind!", he shouts as he pats Eli on the back. Eli can see the Man in Gold without his mask/hat get up he usually wears: he was an older gent, maybe in his early 60s. His skin looks like it had been stained gold, his wrinkles being made more visible by this. His vibrant blue eyes were drooping, and his mouth was dry and cracked.
"Now, now if you need me to move I can move." The old nutjob stands up from his chair and offers it to Eli. "You're too much of a push over, I'm going with our new compadres."
One of the maids tops off Ivan's and Zaweri's glasses which are quickly sloshed out as The Man's Partner hangs on their backs. "Where are my manners? I fer'got to introduce myself. Name's George!", he shakes the both of them and notices their empty glasses. "HEY! YOU WITH THE BIG BREASTS! TOP OFF MY FRIENDS HERE THEY SAVED LIVES TODAY MISS!" She then sighs puts on a fake smile and then tops off Zaweri's and Ivan's glasses once more.
The bartender puts a bottle of scotch right next to Eli's favorite drinking hand.

Eli rises with the crowd, shouting unintelligible celebrations as he clasps the bottle of scotch like a long lost friend. Popping it open with a thumb, he tilts it down, head tilted back, and pours a good half the bottle down his throat right then and there before chucking the rest behind him. He reaches into a coat pocket with his unoccupied hand, getting a good handful of Adderall, Xanax, and Ambien before dumping the pills into his mouth and swallowing them dry.
"Yeah! Part-ay! Woo! You guys...you guys are my best friends, you know that?" Eli leans against the bar, sliding towards George, Ivan, and Zaweri with this comment. "I....I love you, man." Tears are visible in the doctor's eyes as he slowly rests his head on George's shoulder.

There wasn't even time to think about what just happened, two people, one stranger, and one edgelord STALKER who knew Chet for years. Without hesitation shred the sickly figure into a millions pieces. The head exploding sending sickly green, mucousy visage and blood flying all over the aging walls and stained floor.
Stripes stared silently, and slowly collapsed to his knees. His eyes as wide as they could be, his mouth agape in horror. Tears began to form and slowly roll down the curvature of his face.
The rest of the STALKERS come charging down the hall weapons raised, Jacob tagging in the middle with Mordecai flanking on the right side. They turn the corner and their lights flood down the hall revealing the full destruction of Chet. "W-what the fuck!? That was our own guy!?", his expression was both angry and fearful at the same time as he glanced to Isaac, then to Graham, and then to the corpse. One of the STALKERs walk over towards stripes and begins to console him. "Graham, what happened? Because we saw something dart out of the lab back there, and we know it wasn't one of our own. Did you kill it?", Commander asks.
THE RV
Amy takes a quiet walk back to where the RV was parked, the distant sounds of partying and drunken merriment echoing out behind her. You reach the RV door passing by a few robed men and some kids playing soccer in the street. When you begin to walk up the steps you grab for the handrail only to find it coated in a sticky film of... slime? Making your way up into the RV you hear strange sounds emanating from the bathroom, sort of a sickly shriek mixed with the choking gurgles of someone being strangled. You notice that the light is on, and that the door is a ajar slightly giving you a view into the room.
P A R T Y T I M E !!!
Duncan heads into the bar and enters into the drunken fray, everyone is sufficiently drunk at this point.

Isaac stares at the body for a few minutes, not reacting to those around him until he finally stands up and looks at the boss of the STALKERS and begins talking softly "no, it was one of your own boys. But he was seriously fucked, broken jaw and nose along with projectile vomit." Isaac shakes his head and starts walking slowly further down the hallway. "Nothing I could have done but shoot him, even if he was still alive and himself he was fucked beyond repair." Then in whispering almost to himself "Jesus fucking christ...fuck!"

"I think Chet got seriously fucked up, broken nose and jaw. I think he also caught something, he was projectile vomiting... eyes bloodshot. It might of been contagious, Plus I felt he wasn't Chet anymore. I don't think that's supposed to be green either..." Graham says, looking at the green visage

Quest: Under The Crust
Amy approaches the gap in between to see something in the mirror, a blurred figure shuttering in the mirror. It's shape looks human but you're not sure... just staring at it for this long is starting to make your head hurt. You swear there's something lingering in the corner of your eye.

Business
The suited man dripped the cherry red liquid into his shot of bourbon, "A little bit of something the R&D boys cooked up, promised something that packs an extra kick." He turns around to face the board room table, with only one occupant sitting in one of the cushiony chairs. A woman, DNA mixed with some primate mutagen they made a long while back, gave her a tale, turned her feet into an extra pair of hands, and a mane; still she was stunningly beautiful under all the changes. "So they're finally laying us off, not for playing God. Not for breaking the many, many rules that came with the responsibility of tangling up human and various DNA samples for "evolutionary purposes". But because of a goddamned merger." The once wealthy CEO says while throwing back the shot, the taste burning as it slid heavily down his throat. She nods still reading over the package that came with their removal from the company.
"I-I mean we're the faces of the company, and BAM! Just like that, "Fuck you, bye, bye. We're letting these retards who know literally nothing about anything take over your positions simply because of job experience.", frustrated he grabs the bottle off the shelf it was resting on and pours himself another shot. "Just like... fuck... what am I supposed to do now?" She adjusts the glasses and looks over to him, "I dunno the package is nice, they're letting us collect a small percentage of whatever products are still being sold. That and we still got to keep our spots in The Coalition council." She shuffles the papers together and pulls out a joint from between her breasts. "Still these new guys, they haven't been in the field we have they're going to end up fucking it up, the company is going to bottom out, or worse who knows what they'll let slide." He slams back another shot and paces back to the window, looking out over the shining city the desert sun still high overhead.
"Phillip, there's no need to worry. Everything will be fine, and besides not like we really had much of a say in anything." She sticks the joint between her teeth and lights it up. "We just threw money at things and hoped they worked out, and it's not like that stopped half the staff from doing whatever the hell they wanted too." She starts walking over to the door, "Now I have an office I still need to clean out, you staying in here?"
Phillip kept his gaze out the window, staring at the busy streets below that seemed to be dancing in the heat. "Just a little while longer, I want to enjoy the view."
Meanwhile in the current day....
Under The Crust
You walk into the bathroom, the tile feeling warm beneath your feet. The thing in the mirror twists and contorts into several forms, some more horrifying then the last, it's seriously starting to affect your head now... It doesn't respond to your demand, but you see your peripheral vision darkening your focus is solely on this thing in the mirror. You're trying to piece together some solid image but you can't, you can't look away either.
The back of your neck begins to tingle, your breathing is becoming more labored, you swear you're starting to hear voices.
Something... about a cave? No, a building, lost to something, time, buried under the sands. You think you hear something about a church. You can hear something slithering behind you and the sound of meat being torn off of bones. The stench is rank, like bodies decaying mixed with the cent of sulfur. Everything is hot, burning hot.
Your eyes start getting heavy...
You open your eyes once more. You're on the floor, the bathroom tile is cold and smells like dried piss, there's blood leaking out of your nose, your skin is red, and the tips of your feathers are singed. You feel like a turkey dinner.
STALKERs
The Captain sighs, "Well that's just great. Heading where he came from might help us in the long run though." He gestures for one of you two to peep out the staircase.

Amy groans, sitting up and rubbing her nose. "Ouch...? I don't think it's broken, at least." She mutters, standing up and checking the mirror. "Aaaand I look like shit. Dunno what I expected. Hair still looks fabulous, really glad it didn't just burn up. Not gonna be flying for a while though." She finishes checking herself out and tries to find something to stop the nosebleed from hell.

The RV
[/size]
Amy manages to stop the nose bleed with some old towels that were resting on the sink, she still feels a little woozy from her experience though. The RV begins to rock as someone boards the vehicle.
Outside the RV the young man by the name of Ivan decides that his wallet is too full and wishes to spend his money on something else other than drink. He passes by the RV as he enters the shop, the shop keeper looks up from his old magazine, "Ah, another customer! Welcome to the shop, I keep the guns back here with me. Clothes are on the wall to the left, and food is on the right. You pocket anything I'll shoot you dead." He then looks back down at his magazine and starts reading it once more.
Oh and the people in the bar can leave, I mean you're probably thoroughly trashed now.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S.......
The duo walks towards the stairs and shines their lights down it. The carpet on the stairs is ripped and shredded, stained as well with the same slime that you saw dear old Chet vomiting up. Something down there sounds horrible though, like a low unearthly growl.

Eli lets out a hoarse cough as he throws down his seventh...wait, no, eighth....hang on, forty-second shot of whiskey of the night. Enough for a light little buzz, for him. Snickering under his breath at a joke only he gets, he uses one hand to swipe the empty liquor bottles and shot glasses right off the counter, shattering them on the floor, as he uses his other hand to push up off the barstool and onto the rickety floor. "Whelp, that's me out, lads. This should pay my tab." Eli stutters, pulling a smudged pill bottle from one pocket in his coat and tossing it at the tender.
Wandering out into the town square, Eli takes notice of a strangely....familiar RV. Spurred on by his rising blood alcohol level and the baker's dozen bumps of coke he'd done in the back, he stumbles on over towards the old vehicle, hiccuping under his breath.
