Your name is William or Billy, depending on who’s speaking to you. Morrigan and Nem usually call you Billy, Bellona and Mary seem to call you Will or William more. Cath hasn’t said your name, neither has Sarah. It speaks to your current state of mind that such random thoughts are going through it. The last few hours had been strange for you, while waiting for the mission in the dark you were warm instead of cold, the mission went down with no casualties on your side, you managed to actually find and keep some stuff for yourself since according to Morrigan the lighter was yours and your biggest surprise was still to come, after tripping and making an enormous amount of noise that woke up most of the drunken bandits, all Morrigan did was take some ammo from you instead of beating you.

The last part is definitely the strangest for you. It wasn’t that you enjoyed getting beaten, you don’t think anyone did, but that you simply thought of them as a part of life, like not having a bed. Morrigan however seems to be set on changing a lot of that, seeing as how lots of things have changed since you’ve joined MMS.

Refocusing yourself, you look up just in time to not bump into Cath as she stops walking. Looking around her you see Morrigan stop in front of a strange looking building not too far from the old hospital that the bandits had been using as their base. It has two big metal doors that seem partially rusted shut and another smaller door nearby. This one is shut and as Morrigan checks the handle, apparently locked as well.

“Nem,” call’s Morrigan, “You’re up.”

“Ooh yay,” says Nem, hopping over to the door, “Been a while since I got to do this.”

“Legally you mean,” says Morrigan, to which Nem looks up and pouts.

“I’ve been good!” says Nem, “You know what Mary did to me last time!”

“Yeah yeah,” says Morrigan, looking at the door before saying, “One minute?”

“Forty five tops,” says Nem, pulling out a small pouch from one of her pockets, “Five?”

“You’re on,” says Morrigan, a grin on her face.

You remain silent despite your mild confusion as Nem pulls out a set of strange tools from her pouch, setting the rest of them on the ground.

“Ready?” asks Morrigan.

“Ready,” says Nem, her voice amused.

“Go,” says Morrigan, then Nem moves.

She brings up the tools to the door and sticks them into the lock, a light sound of metal clinking against metal as she does so. You hear a few light breaths, then shortly afterwards you hear a loud click as the door unlocks.

“Thirty,” says Nem with a smile on her face as she opens the door and packs up her tools, “You owe me a few drinks at Docs.”

“Yeah yeah,” says Morrigan, raising her rifle slightly as she pushes the door farther open, “There shouldn’t be anyone in here,” she says as Nem picks up her SMG and follows her inside, “But everyone check this place out and make sure there aren’t any surprises.”

Everyone with you nods, with you, Cath and Bellona hefting your main weapons, Sarah pulling out her pistol. The six of you sweep the building, though there isn’t very much to sweep. There’s a set of offices and some old furniture, but most of the building is simply a big empty bay. Inside the bay was where the bandits had kept their stash, a pile of gear and other items that were piled slightly haphazardly. There was also an old vehicle in the bay, an ambulance. The bandits probably hadn’t moved it simply because it was too much of a hassle.

“Alright,” says Morrigan after you confirm that the building is empty, “We’re going to spend the night here, no sense in wandering home in the dark. Nem, check the offices for anything that might be useful. Cath, you and Bell search the stash, see if you find anything. Sarah, lock the door and then come back here. Billy you…

“Check out that ambulance,” says Morrigan, as everyone else moves towards their assigned jobs, “There might be some stuff left in there that we can use.”

You nod to Morrigan, lowering your rifle after safing it and then heading towards the back door of the ambulance. Checking the doors you find them to be slightly stuck, but a good pull means that they pop open. Inside you find…well you aren’t sure but it looks like nothing has been touched in the ambulance. You aren’t sure how or why nobody bothered to look inside of it, but you aren’t going to complain.

“Morrigan…” you say as you crawl inside, certain that you won’t be able to get everything in here by yourself.

“What Will?” says Morrigan, coming over to see what you’ve found.

You simply gesture to the interior of the vehicle, which is still clean except for a light coating of dust.

“Damn Billy,” says Morrigan, looking about, “Talk about a great find.”

You nod at her, starting to dig through all of the bins and drawers in the ambulance with Morrigan’s help. In the end you come up with quite the haul, and EMT bag, a small set of surgical instruments, a tool set and several blankets.

>Gained: Tier 2 Med Kit. Tier 1 tool set. Blankets (5).

Coming out of the ambulance with a happy smile on your face, Nem and Sarah come back from the office as Cath and Bellona break away from the stash.

“What’d you guys find?” asks Morrigan.

“Food,” says Nem, holding up some sealed cans, “Nothing else useful.”

“Jack squat,” says Bellona, as Cath holds up some various ammo.

“Well Billy here found some good shit,” says Morrigan patting you on the back, “Fully stocked ambulance and some blankets so nobody gets cold tonight.” A gust of wind through one of the many holes in the building reminds you how cold it can get.

>>38271783
“Nem,” says Morrigan, “Any of the furniture in there wood?”

“Looked like,” says Nem, “Gonna start a fire?”

“Small one,” says Morrigan, “Cath, come and help me, we can get some warm food if we move.”

You decide to…

As Morrigan and Cath go back to the office area to gather stuff for burning, you instead decide to set up camp. Setting down your gear carefully, you take the blankets that you found and start to lay them out in a rough circle, leaving plenty of room in the middle for the fire. You wonder if you’ll get some of the warm food too. You’ve eaten well at MMS…but this is on mission. Surely everyone else will get some first?

“You sure seem to have a thing for blankets Billy,” says Nem as she plops down on one of the blankets you had lain out, taking off her gear and armor as well.

“They’re warm,” you say in way of reply as Sarah and Bellona also take of their gear taking blankets of their own.

“True,” says Nem, lying back on hers, which is more than big enough to do that with, “Not a whole lot better on a cool night than a nice warm blanket.”

“I could think of a few things,” says Bellona, stretching her arms above her head as she finishes laying her armor out, her eyes on you.

Nem glances at you then back to Bellona. “Yeah, but that takes some trust,” she says, “Or some really cold nights.”

You look at Sarah, who’s turned slightly red as she checks over her rifle.

>Ask them what could be better than a blanket.

Yes, but we would never use them at the same time. That would upset the natural order of the universe.

We build a blanket cave and are never seen again

Until Mary says its time for food or Morrigan says it's mission time.

>>38272111
Anyone seeing Billy as a kid? I know he's 16 or so but his ignorance in topics like sex makes me see him as a lot smaller. I also just found it hard to believe a 12 year old boy wouldn't have known that stuff.

>>38272834
Or when we need a new book to read in the cave, I guess

>>38272863

he knew, but it was probably beaten out of him

>>38272863
A lot of what he knew got beaten, or mind screwed out of him by the men in the church.

>>38272863
That's always been my small complaint about the quest. If he was taken at say like 7 sure, but 11/12?

>>38272863
Depends on how much he knew beforehand. If he hasn't had the talk yet, he probably had it beaten out of him.

>>38272863

I'm kinda concerned that that crazy milf is gonna rape us

>>38272974
Billy could have been a bit of a sheltered child, it isn't that hard to imagine.

>>38272956
>mind screwed out of him by the men in the church.
Reminds me that we managed to avoid getting actually screwed by the men in the church. If that had happened and the others found out, they'd probably go apeshit.

>>38273013
She's like..twenty or something.

>>38273013
Bella? Yeah that's a concern. Also She isn't a milf, yet anyways.


>>38273029
Thank god. We'd be even more broken then. That's hard to imagine without being quest killingly depressing.

>>38272974
I was a sheltered kid, didnt know about sex till I was 10, didnt care enough about the whole concept till i was 13-14 to actually look up smut. For me if Billy had protective parents I find this whole thing only slightly off.

hum, she kinda looked like one, guess I was wrong

>>38273025
It hasn't just been sex...its just been everything. Like I said small complaint but it does make me think he is 12 rather than 17/18.

>>38273095
I think it is that plus having his will be systematically destroyed with beatings and neglect.

You pull your own blanket out of your pack last, setting it on the ground as Nem and Bellona talk. As you sit down on it, pulling your rifle over, your mind sticks firmly on one thing. What could possibly be better on a cold night than a blanket? As you remove your magazine and unchamber your round, you look up to Nem and Bellona.

“What’s better than a blanket?” you ask as you reseat the round in your magazine.

Sarah chokes, Nem turns to you and Bellona gets a smile on her face.

“A fire,” says Nem quickly, as you check the interior of your rifle, nothing since you didn’t even fire it, “Another blanket, being indoors…”

“Another person,” says Bellona, causing you to look up in confusion.

“Another…person?” you ask her.

“Yes,” says Bellona, “Another person, you can share…”

“Body heat,” says Nem, interrupting her as you hear a crash coming from the office area, “Body heat is good for sharing on a cold night if you don’t have anything else or if you’re wet.”

Bellona smiles at Nem, then at you. “She’s right,” says the other woman, “Definitely good when you’re wet or extra cold or even if you just want to get warmer. It’s good for you.”

You blink at that statement. It seems...well she does make a point, being warm is nice. You just aren’t sure about the whole other person thing.

“You can also share blankets,” says Bellona as a finisher, which draws your attention. Two blankets? That’s still a lot…

It’s here that Morrigan and Cath come back, carrying broken pieces of wood.

“Time for some food!” says Morrigan happily, disrupting your conversation. You just go back to your rifle, checking it one last time before reseating the magazine and putting it off to the side.

It only takes Morrigan a little bit of time to start the fire, though she does borrow your lighter. Soon it’s happily blazing away, six cans of food sitting next to it. When the time comes to take them out, Morrigan hands you one. You look at it with just a little surprise.

“Eat up Billy,” she says, sitting back down and opening her can up with her knife. You do the same, everyone else chowing down as well.

“So,” says Morrigan around bites as you all eat, “We’re going to set a watch tonight, three shifts, everyone gets a partner. Billy you’re going to…”

Well at least we can agree on how Will looks at blankets.

>>38274430
Will now has a sexual attraction to blankets.

So who else expects us to wake up with cath and bellona snuggled against us?

Hmm looking at pastebins, Will has the highest tech skill in the known group and everyone has negative social heh.

“Be on first shift with me,” Morrigan finishes up, “Nem you’re…”

“I’m on second shift,” grumbles Nem, “just like always.”

“You know why that is,” says Morrigan, tilting her can at Nem, “either learn to cook or convince me you aren’t the best night watch person we’ve got.”

“I know why,” grumbles Nem, “doesn’t mean I enjoy it. Who do I get?”

“You get Bell,” says Morrigan, “Keep the weapons mixed up a bit. Cath, you and Sarah get third watch.”

Cath and Sarah nod, Bell does too but she seems to be slightly unhappy about it. As everyone finishes eating, Morrigan kicks the already dying fire out carefully, grinding out every last ember.

“Alrighty folks,” says Morrigan with a fake cheer in her voice, “Get some shut eye because you’ve all got watch coming later.”

Nem grumbles, Bellona sighs, Cath just lies down in her blankets and Sarah does the same.

“Come on Billy,” says Morrigan, picking up her rifle, “We’ve got a few hours before we get to rest.”

You nod and pick up your rifle, not having taken off your armor. You follow Morrigan as she heads towards the front door, the only light being provided by the moon and the stars. You watch her as she sticks a cigarette in her mouth but doesn’t light it.

As you start to walk around the perimeter of the building, keeping an eye out as you do so, Morrigan speaks.

“I always hated Sentry duty,” she says softly, her words not carrying far beyond your ears, “Always seemed to get second shift too.” She pauses as the wind blows. “You ever do sentry before?”

>>38274737
I can only hope. Best girls, extra blankets. Sounds like heaven

“No,” you say back quietly, you weren’t allowed to do sentry duty, that meant being on the wall at night, which meant that you might try to escape. At least that’s what they told you when you asked the one time. Then they beat you.

Morrigan turns just briefly to look at you and then goes back to watching the surroundings.

“Well get used to it,” she says, “any time we’re outside of the fort we post watch.”

You nod, fine with standing watch. It meant you were being useful.

You walk around in silence for a little bit, just the sound of your footsteps crunching on grass or broken pavement.

One question remains burning in the back of your mind, one question that you’re desperately unsure about but perhaps deep down inside, want to be answered favorably.

“Morrigan,” you ask quietly.

“What Billy?” she answers casually, still cigarette still dangling from her lips.

Your feet stop as you steel yourself for the question. “Are you…really not going to hit me?” you ask, your voice seeming much smaller than your body would indicate. Your shoulders are a little hunched as Morrigan stops as well, letting out a big sigh.

“They really fucked you up didn’t they,” she says, to which you offer no reply, still bracing yourself.

Morrigan turns around, her face…well you aren’t sure what her face is trying to convey at the moment, maybe tired.

“Look Billy…Will,” she says, her eyes looking at yours, “Whatever happened to you…wherever the army found you, that place…that place was wrong ok, just plain wrong. People don’t beat people, not regularly, not like what you seem to think should happen. I mean fuck, how often did you get hit?”

You try to remember ever not getting hit, ever not waking up afraid of the boot or a cuff on the head. You don’t remember a day when you didn’t at least get a little hit, even if it didn’t leave a bruise.

“A lot,” you finally say to her, “every…every day?”

“Fucking hell,” says Morrigan, reaching into her pocket and fumbling around. It’s clear she’s looking for her lighter, so you reach into your pocket and hand her yours.

(1/4)

>>38276273
“Thanks,” she says, covering the flame with her hand as she takes a drag from her now lit cigarette. Blowing out a cloud of smoke, she turns back to you.

“First off,” she says, starting to walk back to the door, “never ever let anyone smoke while on sentry.”

You follow her, not quite sure if you should mention…

“I don’t usually,” she says, opening the door and bringing you both inside the lobby, “But this…I really need a drink.” Morrigan takes a seat, slinging her rifle off of her shoulder.

You remain standing until Morrigan points to the ground next to her.

“Sit down,” she says, her voice sounding tired as well, “I can’t do this if you’re standing.”

You nod and sit down, still worried that she might hit you since you’re next to her, but willing to do so if it means you might possibly not get hit.

“I’m going to tell you a story Billy,” says Morrigan, smoke trailing from the tip of her cigarette, “It’s a story about a man. Now this man, he wasn’t perfect, never claimed to be and never pretended he was. But he was a good man. This man, he had a daughter, one he loved very much. He didn’t quite know what to do with her, but he did his best and showered her with love. One day, some bad men came when the man was with his daughter. Now, the bad men wanted to hurt the daughter, hurt her real bad. But the man knew that, saw they wanted to hurt her. So he protected the girl, he fought off the bad men until the girl escaped.”

>>38276301
Morrigan pauses here, taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh of smoke.

“Then the bad men killed him,” she says, her voice sounding different, “Killed him just like that. The bad men searched for the girl, but the man had taught her how to hide and she hid really well. Eventually the bad men gave up, they thought the girl was gone. They started to go home. But the girl wasn’t gone, she was just hiding. So she followed them as they went home, angry that they had killed the man. The man had taught her another thing, how to shoot a gun. So she used those two things to get revenge.”

As Morrigan speaks, she pulls out her pistol, dropping the magazine and pushing out the rounds inside, setting ten of them upright in front of her.

“There were ten of them,” she says, her voice sounding less and less like she’s actually talking to you, “At first.” She pushes over one round. “The first one was the hardest,” she says, “But he still had the man’s blood on him, so she pulled the trigger.”

By now Morrigan has your full attention and you watch as she stares at the remaining rounds.

“The second was pretty hard too,” she says, putting her finger on top of one round and leaning it over, “She missed by a little, so he lived. For a few minutes.” She lifts her finger, letting the round fall.

“After that,” she says, “It was pretty easy. The bad men were all scared, so they stayed together in a group, easy for the girl to follow. She took her time after the first two…just one or two an hour.” She knocks another round over, then two at a time.

“By that time they were searching desperately for her, but they were in the woods and she was always careful not to let them find her.”

She knocks over the sixth round.

“By then they were screaming to the trees, begging and saying they were sorry.”

She pauses, then knocks over another round.

“She didn’t listen.”

>>38276326
Morrigan stares at the last three rounds.

“The last three were easy, they were running around in circles in the woods like scared little girls.”

Morrigan lets out a dry laugh.

“But that didn’t make it any harder for her, just one,” Morrigan knocks down another round, “Two,” the second to last, “Three.”

With a soft tinkle the last round falls over, Morrigan staring at it.

“Then the girl went back to the man,” she says, “She managed to find him and bury him. She cried the whole time.”

Morrigan pauses for a very long time, staring at the knocked over rounds, her cigarette burning down nearly to her lips before she grinds it out.

“That day the girl lost something very important to her,” she says, her voice quiet but her eyes dry, “She lost something so important simply because some men thought it was ok to hurt others.”

It’s here that she finally turns to look at you.

“That’s why I’m not going to hit you Billy, not ever. That’s why I want you to tell me if anyone ever does hurt you like that, because it’s not ok.” She turns her head back forward and leans it against the wall. “It’s not ok.”

She’s silent for another minute.

“Do you understand Billy?”

Objection!

Will wasn't on the frontlines once he became useful. He mostly just fixed things. Killing the priest was probably the most recent kill he'd had in awhile. He still did kill people but I don't think its as dark as you are trying to make it sound.

>>38276617
That priest was the main cause of his shitty life. Will may not fully understand it, but I'm sure Morrigan will after connecting a few dots.

>>38276617
>You still had to go out of course, almost everyone did. But they kept you out of the line, off the charges. Instead they gave you other things to do, mostly with the adults. They let you carry grenades and such, even taught you how to set up an explosive charge the few times it was needed. You learned a lot, even if you didn’t get to shoot as much.

>>38276617
Hurt people too.

>He still did kill people.
That's pretty fucking dark. Not sure where a child solider is bright. He may not have ALWAYS killed but he still did.

>>38276601
a quick question since Will was useful would they have made him carry the dead bodies of the other kids that died.

>>38276708
They didn't bury them. If they died in a charge, they got left.

If they died in the compound, which was rare, they got tossed into the woods.

>>38276708
Maybe if they died in the town. If they died in the battlefield anon why move them?

Let them rot.. or wait Let the dogs feast.

>>38276708
Aside from ones that died in the compound there would be no reason for them to carry them. So yeah sometimes.

>>38276708
Well, not out on missions. They left those to rot.

If they died at camp? Probably.

>>38276756
>Let the dogs feast
Jesus. Well that's my horrible mental imagery for the night.

>>38276753
good to know thanks.

>>38276772
There's always worse. Like if the kids were allowed to carry the dead bodies, there probably would've been some starving and desperate enough to take a bite out of them. But that's getting into really fucked up territory.

>>38276844
Considering what we've read so far, it's not too far gone.

>>38276844
Well I mean we liked Alex and when we tried to pull the dogs off of him they almost ate us... and it.. well he was food. So when Jeremy died.. it.. it was just a little and we didn't even like him!

“Yes,” you say finally, before something pops into your head. “I…” you start before Morrigan cuts you off.

“You hurt people too, right?” says Morrigan, a sad little grin on her face.

You nod your head yes.

“Lots of people hurt other people Billy,” she says, turning to look at you out of the corner of her eye, “Sometimes because they have to. You didn’t enjoy hurting those people did you?”

“No…” you say, before a pause, “maybe one…”

Morrigan lets out a chuckle.

“Well, the girl had ten, so you’re still better than her. But the point is, most of the people you didn’t enjoy it or only did it because they were bad people, right?”

You pause, thinking as you look at the ground, then nod.

“Then you’re ok Billy,” says Morrigan, her hand reaching out and patting your shoulder, which is…strange, but nice.

As Morrigan starts to pick up the rounds on the floor and put them back into her pistol magazine, you come up with another question.

“Is…is that why everyone is so nice to me?” you ask her, “Because, you’re not bad?”

Morrigan stops, actually laughing out loud with the question.

“I don’t think many people would say I’m not bad Billy,” she says, chuckling again as she slides her pistol magazine in, “But something like that. Anyone who stays with MMS gets treated right, anyone we can trust is a friend. You treat friend’s right.”

She looks at you and you nod in understanding.

“Well now that we’ve had that nice little sob session,” she says, stepping outside to look at the sky then coming back in, “I think it’s about time for us to wake the others up and for us to get some sleep. You have any other questions before that?”

>Ask her if it’s true sleeping with another person is better than a blanket.
>No.
>Other (?)

>>38276952
Normally I'd agree. But if as suggested the hounds fed on the kids then after seeing another dead person used as a food source it would be less far fetched.
