You probably shouldn't be on this train. It's bad for your health - all the voices, all the mental issues, all right there in your head. Makes you twitch. But this is a big job, of course. Lotsa money. Lotsa money means lotsa guns. And lotsa guns means MORE money! Perks: Raider (No Morale or Sanity loss from violence) Psionic Type A (You can hear voices from other people's thoughts.

They call you Ace.

They always have. You feel the band around your head. With a slow motion, you reach into you bag and slide a deck of playing cards over the table, splaying out the whole deck in a row, face down. A man across the aisle looks over at you. You admit he's right What a punk, how'd he get on but you don't care. You never have. Fingers slide over the pack. Fingerless gloved hands select a card and slide it into the leather band on your head, a smile crossing your face.

There's nothing you love more than panic, and as you rise, people notice you. A grin crosses your face. Patchwork clothes, mostly harnesses, decorate your slim upper body, covered with scars, You unholster you weapon and laugh.
"I never understood why people take trains these days!" you call out. "It's suicide." you press the gun to your head and jerk your head away. "Bang."

That's the cue. Four of your men stand up, and start to shoot. Three of the people on the train take cover and you start to join in, barely missing the man with the duster. The girl in white follows him, frightened, and a cloaked fellow goes the other way. A spellbook - He's a mage. A red spellbook, too, you swear. You take in the panic as people die around you, their thoughts fizzling out in your skull under the automatic fire of your men.

"Looks like most of them, Ace, for this car. Which one we hit next?"

You ponder. Where to go...? you wonder, fingering the machete in your belt.

"Storm the next car!" you say, "We gotta hit that mage!"

The men nod. While you feel their doubt, you draw your weapon with a sick grin. Machete and pistol in hand, you kick in the door, Gotta hit him when he comes in... ducking under the fireball you heard coming from the mind of the mage.

Ain't no one can surprise Ace, you think as you roll in. You swing at the cloaked fellow, who knocks aside your attack with a plated sleeve, going for his own attack. You stand off, squared.

You move in, hacking and slashing, but the mage is better with a dagger alone than you are with machete and gun. He leaps back, passing his fingers over the blade, and you rush in - only for the glowing dagger to cut through the base of your machete in a strong blow.

Bagged eyes stare up at yours as he plants a boot in your chest. His weak kick isn't enough to knock you over, but it's enough to send you back as he gestures at the door and you lift your weapon. Pop pop pop, three in the leg before he manages to crawl out of the train and hop out as you fire more, landing shots in the shoulder and arm. You sigh. He's dead, but your melee weapon is shot.

You toss aside the handle and grunt. Where now?

No melee weapon means we can't bring him into close quarters which becomes disadvantageous for a pistol-wielder.

"Fuck it. It's hard to get off a moving train. Jimmy." you say, pointing. My name is Isaac. "Don't give a shit. Lead the way."

He blinks, a little confused, then leads you to the back car, kicking in the door. To be honest, you're not here for the girl. You're here for the vault in the back, the girl is just bonus. A loud gunshot rips through the space between the cars, and the man's head simply vanishes in red mist.

"You boys just get off the train a'fore I can shoot /all/ you sonsabitches!"

"You killed Jimmy, you ass!" you scream. No, wait, Isaac. Shit. You really oughta work on that... Still. You take cover on the side of the door, one man covering the other side. Your other boy hides behind some benches.

You take a deep breath.

You hunker down, focusing your mind, trying to get a bead on the gunman's.

But then the weirdest thing happens. You've never had trouble with this before - normally it's just a matter of how long you last. But it feels like you slam into a brick wall, solid and pure, smooth and perfect. Mentally, you hammer at it, but the effort threatens to exhaust you.

"Damnit!" you growl. "Freddy!" It's James... "Get in there!"

James ducks low, and then you signal your other two to follow behind. One shot. Two shots. Then automatic fire and a loud click.

A jam?!

You round the corner to see a wounded gunman tumble out of the train. The young woman - hardly a girl, you note, is pressed against the back wall, and you grin.

Until you come to a realization.

You can't fucking hear her mind.

You put the gun to her head, and her eyes go wide. "Sorry." you say, pulling the trigger. You kick the body from the train and slide your fingers through your hair as you kneel beside the vault.

"We got it." you say, ginning. "Jerry!"

There's a pause. "Jerry?"

"Y-yeah." he walks over, looking it over. "Gimme a second." he grumbles, working at the combination. Sooner, rather than later, he pulls it open.

You grin. Poker chips.

So much fucking chip. You could buy a house. Or a lot of ammo and guns and sheet metal and god, you can hardly wait. Going back to the tents has never sounded so sweet. Jesters made it big today!

You laugh, and they laugh with you, as you shut the vault on Jerry's fingers, who winces. You all laugh harder as he works to slide it onto a sled for you, and you all heave it to the back of the train. One by one you get off, yourself and the safe last.

Sweet success.

You slide your fingers over the ace of spades in your headband, over your ear.

>>29632351
You pluck the card from your headband and direct two men to pulling the vault along with you while you idly shuffle the deck and walk. It's fairly far to the Tents, but not too far - a day at best from the tracks. You would go and collect eyeballs, but that would take too damn long and you have no damn tools.

Fucking mages.

Eventually, you make your way to the massive tents - big red and white things that stand out in the sand on an old parade ground. It was a lot of work to get the sand out, but some torture of an air magus took care of it with some ease. You don't let magi into the Jokers, on principle - too much casting and they become horrible monsters, ready to tear you apart. And really fucking hard to kill. Seems the boys have put new bleeders at the top of the tents, the reds look more vivid now.

Boys had to take down the streamers, though, they were drying up. Damn shame.

You make your way, vault in tow, to your 'banker', a stiff, unfeeling woman. Strong and capable, though, which is what counts around her. She's tall, with short, short hair, glasses, and a figure like a damn linebacker - solid as hell. Jerry opens the vault for her and she pulls out the racks and sets them on her counter.

"At least ten thousand." she says. "Enough for a major rehaul of some things." she raises eyebrows. "And that's even with setting aside for food and water." she adds happily. "Solid haul."

>+ 10 500 chip!

You mull this over. You could feasably use that chip for any number of things, from better cages, more cages, armoring the tent and securing the grounds, rearming your men, armoring your men, expanding the grounds....

You have enough for TWO of these things. The two options with the most votes will be chosen.

You tell Martha you want the grounds fortified - some proper walls, maybe - and to get the men proper weapons. Swords and good revolvers. Nothing that is liable to jam. She nods, slamming the vault shut as you sit upon your throne in the ring, a throne with human leather and wood torn from men who had mutated into trees.

Forcibly mutated, mind - Green magi have very predictable mutations and torture came with a bonus that time. You lean back, thinking.

You take the sword in hand... And feel a pressure on your mind. You close your eyes and push it away, but it remains, pressing gently, constantly. You've dealt with worse stresses. You twirl it in your hand, grinning and looking it over. Oh yeah, you can deal with this.

You close your eyes. There's two... Things here.

"Shit."

Fae. Elemental creatures. Might even be technofae - elemental beings of programming and mechanical objects. You can feel the air buzz. "We got fae, boys."

They freeze up. Fae are never good news - They hate humans, for some reason or another, and are all very hostile and hard - some say impossible - to kill. Which isn't true, you've killed technos before. Not normal ones, though. "They're all in the Generator."

"If we hit the supplies and beat feet..." Sal says.

We might get out, yeah.

Might even get something good.

The boys nod, and you all dash in.

Electronics - they get Sal excited, but you throw them all into a bin you find in there. You keep an eye on the Fae.

"We got about half."

The Fae are moving in...

You let out a barked command to run, and you do, taking the supplies from Sal. And that's when Tim falls over onto his face. Sal goes to help him up.

You see it round the corner behind them. A mess of tech, wires, gears, and plugs, vaguely humanoid.

"Y0|_| Wil;l Sjskjlheee the 3|\|D 0|= Tiiiiidandiiiiimes."

You can hear it on both spectrums, and in your mind's eye, you see an ocean bubble into nothing with a sense of deep loss.

You leap over your allies, holding your sword. The Fae looks down on it, and flies into an assault as your arms move on their own.

Slice and dice, whisper and rice
Make your enemies blood as ice.

Untrue, unreal, like so many fake.


You knock aside one attack after another, then deliver a powerful blow and sever its arm from its shoulder. Yesssss. You move in and press the attack, as you see the other moving in.

"Screw this." you say, running behind your boys, out the door, and onto the sands. The Technofae stands atop the ruins and screeches at you, it's form deforming with fury.

You pant as you hit the sands, feeling your chest. "FUCK!" you scream, punching the sand. Magic! You used mother fucking magic! You can feel the grease on your soul, and you have no idea how it'll mutate you if you keep using it. You get up and sigh.

we still have our boys and loot with us right?

I think we should drop the loot we do have back home and then explore the cave. Don't want to get bogged down by loot and have to abandon it when things go south.

And it WILL go south.

So we don't want to use the magic sword because it's magic; do we destroy it? I don't want to sell it or trade it because whoever has it can stab us dead possessed by the thing.

>>29640612
Leaving it around will have cause someone to steal it and use it against us. Destroying it removes that problem. So, yeah.

>>29640612
>>29640645
File it down until it is nothing but metal shavings. Grind the shavings up and snort that magic metal.

>>29640612
I'd say we keep it around, but not use it. Not unless there's no other way to win. Better to have it, and not need it, than need it and not have it, after all. We might have died back there if we didn't have the sword.

I'm assuming that using magic is what turns you into a horrible abomination?

>>29640645
But then, why was it in a box out in nowhere? It's probably too much hassle to destroy. We should bury it or toss it in a volcano.

>>29640729
But it'll keep talking to us. In rhymes. I think we'll find the sword too entertaining to not use if we keep it around.
