"Okay then...?   So you're saying you're from...   Um..."   Amy shuffles her wings thoughtfully, before snapping her fingers.  "An alternate timeline, right?   Also that's the closet but close enough I guess?"

"Oh it's a closet now? So I guess there isn't a heavy machine gun on top of this thing along with solar panels? Good thing about that bed room though, that place was covered in- Well let's not talk about that and say we did. Anyways where are we? It looks like we're in Indiana with all this sand."

"Oh yeah, speaking of guns, there was some weird looking guy getting chased by some possible raiders earlier, went over in...  That direction."   Amy mentions, pointing a wingtip eastwards.  "Should probably check it out or something."

Duncan hears a strange voice in his head, "Oh shit your vision still might be a bit fucked up, but there's definitely no sand around here partner."

"W-What...?" Duncan says as he rubs the sand from his own eyes. Sure enough, there certainly isn't any sand and that was worrying.

He then asks all the people surrounding him, "So who the hell are all you people/bird people?"

"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.

"Er... ah right. Totes. What's the Deliverance Company?" He says as he gingerly shakes the hand of Pinhead's special needs cousin.

"Hmph. You really aren't from around here, are ya?" A small, static-filled chuckle follows Chalk's inquiry as he lets go of Duncan's hand. "Well, you appear to be a clever guy. 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?"

"Huh? Oh it's Duncan, Duncan McShale." He says as he puts on some cool shades. He then swiveled back into the forward facing position in the drivers seat and leaned back, keeping a hand on his flat cap as he let his orange hair loose.

He then asked, "So where are we going. I hope there's a Church's Chicken left."

Duncan, I'm Ivan. Still, how did you, well, "change dimensions"?

"I'm Zaweri. Runewright is my last name. So what is this "dimension changing" crap?" Zaweri says, his hand still sitting on his revolver.

Amy climbs down off the roof, stepping back into the RV.   Tapping Duncan on the shoulder, she points towards where she saw the whateverthefuck going on.  "Name's Amy.   Nice to meet you, I guess?"

STALKERS

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 can hear something slithering in the room. Your vision has little red dots floating around and pulsating, and you are still trying to catch your breath.

Deliverance CO.

>You can hear gunshots over where the single dirtbiking figure and that huge line of buggies went.

>That one town I named a while back is still on the table.

>I'm greentexting because the RP is really making it right now, I'll write a decent travel log this time.
