back to the basics

"I'll explain some other time. It's a long story..." Roland tossed his coat over himself and laid to rest for the night. "I've been to bakersfield. We should go soon. I know an old motorcycle dealership. We can syphon gas out of some old cars." he said rolling over. "'Night"

Thade woke up the next morning about 12 o clock. Then got the Roland and B up and got them all settled down in the living room. Thade's stomache growled. Ok, time for food. Anybody have any ideas??? Oh and, B this is Roland, Roland, B.

Roland was up around ten, and he had been up cleaning, tuning and cleaning again his guns. They never failed on him, and he couldn't have the risk. "Morning. Braurche? Name's Roland. I blew in last night in your sleep" he said wiping off a greasy palm and offering it out to Brauche

Brauche shook the strange mans hand and said "awesome there's another one of us here too." Brauche whistles and Buddy jumped down the stairs. He scatched Buddy's head and he started to pur. "Meet Buddy I Guess he's my Familiar at least thats what Thade had said."

Roland glanced at the cat and pieced his gun back together. "Any reason we haven't eaten that yet?" he said with a grin. "Let's see what the old grocery stores have for us. Jerky's still good. Bags kept 'em free of fallout."

"Heh, don't get your hopes up bud, its a spirit animal, and fiesty as fuck. You ready?"

Brauche stands up his stomache groeling and slips on his sheathe then he walks outside without saying a word and walks up to the his harley and yells "You guys had better hurry im starvin' and Thade Buddy is going to have to ride with you."

I'm not taking the mut. Come on Roland. Thade got into an old 1992 Jeep and followed Brauche to the store.

Regardless of the dog, Roland sat in the car and strapped in. "Where to?" he asked tipping his hat, getting it snug for the ride

Meh, to the downtown grocery store we were talking about last night, if i were you i'd get nice and comfy, and then hold on for dear hell. Hes on a motorcycle so this might be a rough ride for us. Thade threw in the clutch and shifted gears, driving like a proffessional weaving in and out through the shells of once-cars.

Roland was used to fast driving now that the streets were dead. He did some serious cruising in LA. "Hang this corner, I saw a good one two miles west. Will he know where we're goin'?" Roland said pointing to the left

Got it. Yeah he will, hes got theese werid little charm thingys that tell him where i am and what im thinking, and they called me a freak. Right up here? Cool. Thade steps into the light snow in the parking lot of a torn up grocery store.

Brauche hears Thade because thats what he had his charm tuned to the last time he used it. HEY B TURN AROUND THERES A DIFFERENT GROCERY STORE. He turns around still wondering why he couldn't read the thought of this roland fellow. He starts to head the direction of the jeep and watches as they pull into the parking lot of this store. Brauche pulls in parks takes the keys out of the bike and slips them into his pocket. "So were going in there?" Brauche said as he switched back to his ice charm.Brauche zips his jacket up half way and looks up as it starts to rain. the world is trying to heal itself how odd. he tilts his head off to the side and looks at thade again a questioning look on his face.

B. Nows not the time, we gotta get this shit and leave. I heard something on my scanner. Theres people in chicago, in a basement on 2039 P street, they need food man, and i think there dieing. Theres two children with them. Oh, and Roland said that this store would be better than the rest, so i decided to go in here. Roland, watch the bike and jeep. We'll be back. Thade starts to walk into the store with B.

Brauche pulls his sword out of its sheathe and holds it as his side. He looks at Thade and says "you realy trust this guy i think we should leave him here i mean he popped up out of nowhere and we dont know if he's one of them yet either." Brauche shivers and Thade knows it from more than the cold air that was starting to role in. Brauches parents had been eaten and thats why he had first picked up the sword and started to use his charms. i dont know about him let's just get our food and go save those people."

Yeah, I'll make a pre-caution. Just incase hes a bastard. Thade pulls out on of his grenades and hands it to Roland, then pulls then pin. Roland is holding it so that way if he separates his hands the grenade will detonate. There. Lets get this damned food. You think anythings in there? Thade starts to step into the gorcery outlet's front door slowly. Hmmm....

Damn Benjamin gets down and leans against the shelves of the isle he is on to hide from whatever entered the store.He could'nt risk damaging the food and supplies in the store with his exsplosives, so he would have to use his Scythe to fight of whatever came in.He quietly snuck to the back of the store and waited for his enimies to reveal themselves.He heard voices, two men if he was correct. Now is a better time than any to die.Surrounded by the thing i love most, ...food.Benjamin then stood up and shouted, "Who goes there, I am a friend, and waited for an answer.


!!!Click it!!!

Who the hell are you?! Thade yelled. Show yourself now or face death! Thade pulled out a grenade and his .44 revolver. B get ready.. i know you can hear me you bastard.

" My name is Benjamin Jigsaw, I travled here from Asia seeking survivors.As you can see," Benjamin said pointing at the shelves around himself," I have already looted this store for its supplies." He pointed at a pile of duffle bags stacked in a pyramid."I would be happy to share if you would let me join your group, I would be quite usefull.I can speak over twelve different languages, am skilled with a scythe and a explosives expert." Benjamin lifts his cloack revealing an arsenal of explosives."So as you can see i am more than qualified," He says as he grabs the top four out of twelve baggs and walks towards the back entrance of the store." Well don't just stand there grab those baggs, i'll meet you in the front, my ride is parked in the back alley.Oh and nice charms, i read about those all the time back i Shangri la." About time I found someone, I was starting to think me and Grandra were the only ones left in this hell hole.

Roland heard shouting, and Thade's ridiculous cackle and knew something was off. He summoned a bone servant (11 on the die = exceptional success, it's mildly intelligent) and handed it the grenade carefully. "Don't you drop that now. And if you hear gunfire getcher ass in there, alright?" Roland said to the bone servant. It nodded and stood stalk still as Roland sauntered into the grocery store. "What's all the noise about." he said drawing the .45 smoothly. Upon seeing a man with bags and explosives he pointed lazily and spoke deeply. "Who the fuck is this guy?" he said to both Thade and Brauche. "And you. Move and it'll be the last thing you'll do."

The member 'Roland' has done the following action : roll

'D12' : 11

"So there is three of you," Benjamin says turning to face the man who entered." You missed my speach, but your friends can fill you in.So why dont you grab some bags so we can get out of here." Benjamin turns back towards the back door and starts to leave."By the way, my name is benjamin.

Roland turned and faced Thade, still aiming at Benji. "can we trust this fool?" he asked promptly

"I don't know and realy i don't care me and thade are going to leave you guys here any way and if i so much as think that you guys are following us i swear the next time i see you i will personally put a clip full of ammo in each of your heads got it?" Brauche said as he sheathed his sword and pulled his gun out "Thade grab a couple of bags and let's get out of here."

"Fair enough." Roland said, and walked outside lighting a smoke. "I'll be going to Bakersfield then." Roland said to Brauche.

"Do you need a ride then," Benjamin proclaims as he drives in front of Roland in his hummer."I am on my way to Bakersfield, You can come with if you wan't.That is if you don't mind my pet.He likes to bite... and scrach... and lick... well just about every annoying thing a pet can do.but ill keep him from doing any harm.So what do ya say?" Benjamin oppens the passenger door.

Meh, Lets bail then B. Thade grabbed a few of the bags and stepped outside through the back door. A few minutes later he stepped back through and said, "Damnit, I'm tired. We're out front aren't we." He looked suprisingly lighter. Then went outside with B and started the Jeep.

Brauche followed Thade after he corrected himself and walked over to the jeep wheree he sheathed his sword picked up his bike and looked at the childish looking undead that was standing next to the jeep and said "Get lost" and the stupid thing looked up and started running in the other direction where it soon lost grip on the grenade it was holding and blew up. Brauche then looked at thade and said "So are you ready we still need to get Buddy and a few things from the hideout but this is going to be a long trip and i don't even know if it will be worth it so..."

Damnit B, don't be wussying out on me now. Lets go get our shit and get out of here. I wired the hummer in the back, it looks like their only way of transportation. Hopefully. The started to drive off to go to the hut when he pulled out a cell phone and pressed the # button. The hummer exploded into flames in the background and caught some of the store on fire. Thade and B get all their belongings and things that they need and go to bakersfield. First they must past through the wastelands known as arizona before they can journey into california, then into bakersfield.

Brauche looked at Thade with a grin "dude maybe you should listen to yourself a little better because you said we were going to chicago for one and for two there were two people and alot of food in tht hummer." Brauche then proceeded to slap Thade in his massive head and said " maybe i should drive the first half so you can get some sleep."

Benjamin yells in pain as he sits up grabing his left arm with his right hand." Roland, Benjamin yalls lokkoing through the smoke a s he struggles to his feet.He peers through the smoke to see a group of people running tward him.But uppon closer inspection he could see that it was a man running from a group of 13 mutants.He then peered to the right and saw roland comming to.He assisted roland up.From the looks of it he was miledly injured by the explosion." Come on, lets get back to the store, we are about to have company."As they hobbled back to the store Benjamin turned his head and yelled, "Run faster, there is a store just through the smoke;When you get there meet us in the employee's lounge."They will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served frozen with a side of hypothermia.



OOC: the man running is my bro.

Alara watched as the hummer blew up from the rooftop of a distance building. He then Cast Hand Of God on himself and jumped from the building and ran over to benjamin who was running from the smoke. Forget him kid. Hes gone.

"NO", Benjamin screamed as his eyes began to water.He glanced at the unconscious Roland and whispered,"I refuse to let him die", he then rose his voice,"Not like the rest,...not like...Just help me get him inside,I have a plan.Benjamin yelled as he realized who was running toards him and Roland from what now was apparent to be a mob of mutants.he rose his free hand as it began to glow."Your...not...real," he said as an avalanche of snow poured out of his hand.


OOCif you guys could try to put 2 and 2 together i would appreciate it.my keyboard is messing up so all the words might come out wierd.

Alara looked around at the disaster... we must go inside. before they start coming out again. hes gone. leave him damnit.


OCC: Roland will not be able to get on the site for some time now. Therefore he must "die" for right now.

As Benjamin's avalanche reached the man running from the group of mutants the man dissapeared.It was a mirrage, just like the rest of them.the man running was benjamins first and best friend.and he had ben having hallusinations and nightmares about him every day.But a few weeks ago their base was attacked by a massive wave of mutants.All the survivors along with his friend, Deandre, were lost in the havoc of battle.Ther was nothing benjamin could do, deandre made him leave with grandra, but wouldn't come with him."Im sorry"Benjamin said to roland as he set him down and stood up hunching."We cant just leave him here for those things, think you could carry him inside with us for now,pleas.I would do it myself but im a little banged up from my last encounter."Benjamin could hear the mutants climbing the snow on the other side."we must hurry to the staff lounge, there are supplies in there."


OOC: we cant let his actual body be killed, we need to leave it somewhere so whatever brings him back can bring him back.
