Okay... Well we stay the day, and Kilrick leads the way... This is just a brief look at Stryfe.... Just a look into the man behind the cold green eyes... If you like or hate him more, be it as it may...

Ok, couple of things-
We currently have 9 characters, plus the four travelers, and we can expect one more player (Prudence). So we will need another vehicle.
Let's go with the idea that the one car we got was a big damn car- maybe an old diesel engine rig modified into something like a troop transport. Not sure. I don't think we ever got much of a discription.
However, someone else could buy a new vehicle or introduce another.
Personally I am not keen on vehicles. I would like to hear what the rest of you think on this.
Also, while Kilrick and Talon have this conversation, and Stryfe works out his romantic relationship, we need to keep everyone else busy. Buying and selling could work, but this might also be an opportunity to further develop back stories.
I do want to be moving on pretty soon. We might even be starting another chapter of Kilrick (the trip to New York) when we return to the vil/ base.

I always imagined the 'car' as a kind of WW2 military truck: sturdy, reliable and able to carry all of us across the rough wasteland.
The Stryfe and Talon conversations are a nice read, but I don't feel like breaking the flow of them with Aaron's background; there's more to come about the assassin once we get to New York, or possibly while we're on our way.
What's the point of trading with the Gunrunners since we've loaded up on whatever equipment we were interested in back at O'Neil's place?

Well, medical supplies for one. We probably have a surplus of weapons, but not enough meds to get through. SO this would be a good time for the exchange.
I think it was Syphon that came up with the truck so maybe he should figure this out.
Also, Fenilis, a female character, came up only once, and has since mostly disappeared. I think the player has gone elsewhere.
What do you suggest we do with her?

Well my character did need a new weapon. I wanted to go sniping with him anyways since he doesn't have tons of money to buy combat armor with.
As to the extra female character, I would not know. She could be played by multiple people and used to develope backstories. I for sure intend for Eric to run into some of his ex-employers from the NAC. They won't be seen by the main group but will either help or hinder Eric personally.
As to vehicles I do not really mind. We have a humvee I suppose so a truch would be nice. This would also allow some of our more gun happy people to get a chance at gatling weapons. I mean standard humvees and I am sure trucks too can be rigged to carry some heavy weapons. This may also give us a chance to do some drive and gun scenarios in new york, much like the last halo level.

Well isn't this world sort of like a mix of Futuristic '50's... Mind you, not my most favourite of timelines.
Well, this woman character can be retured or break away from the party, no necessarly have to kill her off.
As for Charlyn's appearance in Kilrirck, you'll see it soon enough. Just walk around, and I'll find you.

Alright fellows. While Kilrick is talking with Talon, you guys have a new character to bump into.
Let's pick this up a bit. I would like to get back to the vil, and then on the way to New York before the New Year.

Agreed... Sorry if I was out of action. Had to pull double time at work.

Ok, I am going to give you all a few days to figure out what you want to do with this evening. Let's say next Friday, Kilrick get's up, gives the prostitute sloppy sex and then leaves town.
Everyone else, hope you get done by then. If done sooner, we leave sooner.
Prudence, sometimes you got to grab the bull by the balls and squeeze, if you get my meaning. Take this where you want to go.
Don't wait for someone to do the work for you.
It's like sex, if you want something and you're not getting it, take the intiative and make it happen.

OK, I have give you folks a week to get yourselves sorted out. Let's get this puppy moving.
Sorry I've been gone. Long story. Anyway, what I'm referring to, as in my characters trucks, is a basically a large pickup truck.
Imagine an old ford truck on growth hormones. The engine was too large for the chasis, so the chasis itself had to be modified so the nose of the truck is about 6 inches longer than normal. The engine itself is a large 7.5 cylinder power-stoke V8, the large diesel engine in a civilian vehicle. The cabin is only one row, unlike modern-two rowed trucks. The bed, which is quite large, Quad Cab, can sit many men required for the long haul to New York. Does that answer your question?

I was thinking the vehicle was more a cross between a Deuce and a Half and Hummvee and a Mack truck. Sandbags, MG mount, large cargo space. Big, nasty, powerful diesel rig.
Doesn't matter much, the truck won't make it NY.
I would like to see a head count so we know who's still with us. Post up that you are getting on board.
Kurgen- read carefully. We are not at the bar but outside near the truck.

Sorry Welsh. I've changed "bar" to "wall", hope that's ok. We've spent such a long time (real time) at the Gunrunners I've lost track of some elements and have difficulty getting back into the mood of the story. I guess that's the trouble with growing old, it's all downhill for body and mind.

Age is a bitch.
But on the positive side, with experience one gets better at sex.
Down side, eventually you forget even that.
Ok, onwards folks. Want to see who is still with us.

Ok, Deeds and Jasmin are two Green soldiers that are escorting us down to NY. Neither can be really trusted although Kilrick had a thing with Jasmin.

Cannibalism is cool. But remember, you are what you eat!
Actually I got a little cannibalism going on in Lone Wanderers too. But in that case it's more accurately, you are who you eat. Trying to mix up the story of the Windingo into the plot.
Which raises the interesting problem. From what I can tell the Windingo legion is really a prescription against cannibalism. The Alonguins seemed to be telling the story as if it were almost an infectious disease, if you eat a person you become a windingo- an eater of people, a monster that looks like us but is really a doppleganger. Considering that these were folks that spent a lot of time in Canada one could see that some winters were bad and Grandma could really just be a future snack. However, the social conventions against cannibalism would be directed towards maintaining social peace.
As the old joke goes, what is trust? two cannibals in 69.
And that could raise a problem for your characters. The social conventions of a post-apocalytpic world would probably stress that if you get so hungry that you have to eat a neighbor, you would be ostracized if not bannished from pleasant society. Frequent travel might allow a person to escape the consequences, but in the end, it's something she probably wouldn't want to brag about. Some drunk fuck in a bar could over hear it and think, "Hell that's what happened to my Elma, mother fucking skin eaters!" and pop you in the back while you're not looking.
Be careful!

Yeah, she is aware of that, but note, Charlyn isn't right in the head, her character is a person who is begging to die, but ends up fighting to survive...
Stryfe would keep quiet over it, since he saw cannibalism as a means of survival, and didn't take the kind of joy Charlyn did. Of course, Charlyn and Stryfe have deeper ties, which you'll see later, not as lovers but as friends... or sort of friends...
