Zaweri, wait! Should I grab him anywhere, so he doesn't move?

"That would be a good idea, yes. One slip and his gut is wide open." Zaweri says as he starts pulling the bits of shrapnel out.

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."

S T A L K E Rs

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."

Graham says, "I'm not gonna let you have all the fun." he chuckles.

Isaac took the magazine out of his SMG and pocketed it before sliding a new magazine into the weapon. He looks up at Joshua and says "I'll follow your lead on this one."

"So Amy, how long have you been running with these guys. They're a varied bunch, eh?" Duncan says as he looks for a way to see what year it is.

"Guess your doctor went comatose. Whelp I guess we'll be seeing you later." The ClintGoldman hops on his bike and tips his hat and rides presumably up to the RV to tell Duncan of the town. He waves at Duncan.

"Still no excuse Graham, still no excuse.", he shakes his head and turns to the rest of his crew telling them to group up. "Let's see what their plan is for the rest of this, we have to be getting close to where his buddies are.", Joshua reloads yet again and groups up with the STALKERs.

Zaweri suddenly stands up. He runs to the RV, grabbing onto it before it leaves.
"Fuckin' Amy."

Isaac nods to Joshua and follows him over to the STALKERs saying "Lead the way." to whoever looked to be in charge.

Duncan waves back with a dumb smile on his face. He thanks the old man for telling him how to get into and then starts driving to the town.

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.
