Graham lowers his rifle and puts it away, "Ah, welcome. We got some stew cooking, it should be done soon. If you want we got some energy drinks and vodka." he gestures toward the crate while grabbing an energy drink and opening it with a small pop.

[[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.]]

[[Shit I wasted most of the day playing Gmod, fuck I haven't even edited my video yet. Ah well, I'll get this updated while I listen to all those Vaporwave albums I got, 1 Dollar well spent.]]

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.


[[Yeah its a pretty shitty and small update, but its something. Work with it.]]

Zaweri finishes escorting the slaves outside. He waits for the RV to come pick him up near the entrance to the fortress.

Ivan says "Hahaha, well, I have to go to the fortress now, hahaha, please don't kill me while I do so, hahaha." and starts driving at the fortress.

Derek hops in the seat of his truck, chucking the guitar into the passenger seat. He drives out of the fortress, chucking a big piece of C4 behind him with a 20 second timer before he drives out.

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:

-Your CO tells you to visit New York because some shit is going down up there, the usually peaceful gangs up that way are starting to begin a war in the streets of New York. You don't know much about how bad things are or even why they're fighting. But if you want to continue the Deliverance Co. quest you should basically head that direction, and I'll have some sidequests and little stories along the way.

-Your cars are fully fueled, supplied, and repaired. I'm basically retconning the prologue except for scenes concerning the bar; basically you got your assignment, your supplies, and you knew you were doing this. Why? Because this whole entire battle NEEDS TO BE FORGOTTEN!

-You can also just ignore the orders and go off on your merry way.

-ITS ALL UP TO YOU ON WHAT YOU DO FROM HERE!

Broken Caravan

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.

Isaac shrugged "Those two have a better picture of why we're here then I do, so ask them." He opened the drink and took a drink from it before taking a seat.

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."

[[Deliverance Co. I know you're wanting to gear up and all that, but you guys haven't even decided on a direction to go. I don't want to railroad you guys, seriously take the initiative and try and take the spotlight. It's seriously getting increasingly harder writing for you guys.]]

But first a word from our long dead sponsors....

"DO YOU FEEL YOURSELF BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE EXHAUSTED IN THIS BUSY BUSY WORLD. DO YOUR CHINESE WORKFORCE MANAGERS KEEP OVERWORKING YOU TO THE POINT THAT DEATH WOULD BECOME YOUR ONLY RELEASE. WELL STOP THINKING LIKE THAT YOU PUSSY AND DRINK SOME 'SPUZZ'!!! SPUZZ IS MADE WITH 120% MORE THEN YOUR RECOMMENDED WEEKLY INTAKE OF SUGAR, WHICH IS FILTERED AND PROCESSED WITH HIGHLY CAFFEINATED TIGER BLOOD. *WOW* IT'LL KEEP YOU AWAKE FOR DAYS, TURN YOUR PISS NEON ORANGE, AND GIVE YOU SUCH A DRIVE IT'LL FLOOR YOU UNTIL YOU'RE NOTHING BUT ROAADDDD PIZZA YEAAHH!!!!!

IT'S SPUZZ!!!! Now found in the soft-drink section of your local supermarket, comes in Blimey Limey, Orange Kidney Puke, Tiger Blood Red, and Grape.

AND INTRODUCING DIET SPUZZ, THE ENERGY DRINK FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE THEY LIVE IN A BASEMENT!!!! IT'S SPUZZ!!!"

Now spawning in loot crates everywhere!


Deliverance Co.

You purchase all the gear requested, but you still haven't said you're driving everywhere. C'mon guys, do something!

Isaac and The Mighty, Mighty STALKERS

"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.
