Bellona and Sarah haven’t done much yet, though Bellona was kinda weird when you met her and Morrigan says you aren’t allowed to sleep under the blankets together even though it’s warm. Bellona did shoot all the bandits for you though, so she can’t be too bad. All in all…your life is pretty damn good.


Currently you’re asleep again, having just finished up sentry duty with Morrigan. Apparently that means you get to dream again, despite only having the one blanket on you.

What do you dream of?

>The crash, again.
>Your first battle.
>The last mission.
>…Light, again.
>The dark.

>>38292616

Is the last mission the thing we just did with MMS or the last mission we did while still in the compound?

>>38292616
>>The dark

>>38292825
The thing you just did.

Don't fear the darkness. Fear what it holds.

Alright, looks like the last mission wins.

Also wanted to ask, has anyone noticed?

>>38292947
Will is talking about what he likes and dislikes more in the intros?

>>38292947
No. Of course someone has.

>>38292984
Yes he has. But not what I was asking.

>>38293003
They haven't told me if they did.

>>38292947

>>38293074
You remembered to post your twitter in the OP for once?

Either that's just a screw-up, or someone's sleeping with us. Right?

>>38293074
You actually included the Twitter?

>>38293116

I did, but also not what I was thinking.

Hmm, I guess so.

>>38293108
Nope.

>>38292947
You put your twitter up, right?

>>38293108
Well, not a screw-up, but a confusing detail, as it makes it seem we need more than one blanket to dream.

>>38292947
That he can tell Cath likes him?

I got nothing

>>38292616
You dream of the last mission strangely enough, perhaps because it’s fresh on your mind. Certain parts aren’t important, walking down the hall, checking empty rooms. Other parts are, your knife, sliding home twice, Morrigan and Bellona finding some important looking stuff and finally your fall. Normally you’d be dead, if it was just you you’d be dead. The moment is clear in your dreams…right up until the man’s head explodes, Morrigan standing over you like…like…Morrigan, then turning to open fire on the rest of the bandits. Except this time you don’t get up. Morrigan instead reaches down and…

“Billy,” says Morrigan shaking you awake, “Get up, it’s time to go.”

Your eyes shoot open, still slightly twitching as you fully wake.

“Calm down there buddy,” says Morrigan, handing you some food as you wake up, “Just wake up and eat, we’re going to be headed out shortly.”

You nod at her, accepting the can of food and opening it. Cold it isn’t as good but you aren’t going to complain.

“Make sure you pass out some of your gear,” says Morrigan, nodding towards your rather large pile of stuff, “I don’t think you can carry it all without slowing us down.”

>Will currently has: Standard ammo (2), Tier 1 Medkit, Tier 2 Medkit, Tier 1 Toolkit, Food and Blankets (6).
>He has (6) slots to carry all of this in. There are (3) slots available from remaining team members to carry additional items in.

Sucks but gotta be pragmatic.

>>38293403
>3 Blankets
I'm sorry Will. We'll find more or buy them later

>>38293403

>Tier 1 Medkit
>Blanket (2)
We have tier 2 why do we need tier 1?

>sliding home twice,
What? I don't remember this.

>>38293520
Give it to someone else. Have a spare?

>>38293520
Sorry, that should read, "your knife sliding home twice"

I have jumpy fingers sometimes.

Also, Tier 1 is more portable. Tier 2 has to go in your rucksack.

Anyway, Looks like we're leaving all those blankets behind.

>>38293520
As a back up. In case we lose the teir two or end up having to use it. I rather have more medical supplies than not enough if/when shit goes south.

Not to say you can't be creative and use a blanket as make shift bandages in a pinch.

>>38293609
Can we tie the blankets to the outside of our bag?

>>38293787
Nope. You're already getting overloaded and it's training for possible later scenarios!

As you finish your food, you take a look at all of the things you have to carry and realize that you have to make a horrible horrible choice. You need to leave the blankets behind.

Luckily you do have room for your blanket…actually you don’t. With your ammo safely stashed in the bandoliers, the two small items fitting in the extra pouches, you realize that with the bigger medkit and your food…you don’t quite have room for your blanket. It almost frightens you…until Morrigan sees you and comes over, taking it and putting it in her pack.

“You’re pretty attached to this stuff right?” she says.

“Yes…” you say, nodding your head.

“Well I can carry this for you,” she says, “Make sure you come get it when we get back to base.”

You nod your head, Bellona and Sarah each rolling up a blanket as well and putting them in their packs as you all finally pack up.

“Everyone ready?” says Morrigan as you heft your rucksack, everyone doing last checks of buckles and belts.

“Ready,” says Nem.

“Ready,” says Bellona.

You, Cath and Sarah all nod.

“Right then,” says Morrigan, opening the door and heading outside, “If we make decent time we can hit Doc’s with our earnings, might even get a bonus this time.”

“Bonus?” says Nem, “I might finally get a chance to get some better gear then.”

“Oy,” says Morrigan, “You aren’t thinking of mooching off me for Doc’s are you?”

“Maybe…” says Nem with a grin.

“Not a chance,” says Morrigan as Nem giggles, “I owe you five dollars’ worth and that’s it.”

>>38294090
You listen as Nem and Morrigan go back and forth about Doc’s for a while, then quiet down.

You know it’s going to be a long walk back to Fort Riley even with breaks. Though you do keep an eye out as you walk, it’s not quite as hard as the march Morrigan put you through on the way here, you could probably take it a little easier and stay next to someone if you wanted.

>Walk next to Morrigan.
>Walk next to Nem.
>Walk next to Cath.
>Walk next to Bellona.
>Walk next to Sarah.
>Just stay where you are.
>Other?

This is also where I leave you for about half an hour or so, see you when I get back home.

>>38293403

would a re-loading bench be worth the investment in post apocalyptic Merica, also maybe some sort garage to put our future technical in?

>>38294283
sorry anon but we are being railroaded into the medic role.

>>38294119
>>Walk next to Cath.

>>38294119
>Other?
Did anyone think to check if the ambulance was working? I mean if it had the emergency responder's kit in it, theres a chance it was untouched. The battery could be valuable even if it was raided.

>>38294309
Not really, we're more an allround fixer.

>>38294322
It sat there for like...five years anon. Its dead.

>>38294119
>Walk next to Sarah.

>>38294309
Rail roaded? I was clamoring for it because people could die. But will in general seems like he'd take up the mechanic roll. He wants to be useful.

He sees fixing things - People/gear
As useful.

Not sure how difficult it would be to cross spec though.

>>38294309
Have you forgotten that we also maintain armor and equipment? We can be both medic and technician.

>>38294356
You'd be surprised how durable emergency response vehicles are.

>>38294387
I doubt they're five years with no maintenance durable. Batteries aren't and I don't think gas is either.

>>38294435
Scrap haulers have pulled tanks from WW2 out of bogs in eastern europe and started them right where they pulled them out after a little bit of cleaning the engines

>>38294480
Diesel doesn't break down like gas does.

>>38294541
and guess what most emergency vehicles run on?

>>38294435
inside a dry garage. I mean we've already left so I doubt we'll go back so this is more of a "lets check in the future" thing.

>>38294322
We are over-encumbered already.

>>38294562
Is it candy?

>>38294562
>>38294565
Point is moot. If its a modern ambulance it has an electric start. Those got EMPd at the start of the quest.

>>38294480
That's not really impressive, though. The thing about bogs is that there's no air at the bottom, so there's little to no rusting/decomposition. I know the video you're referencing, and the tank was so well preserved that you could still see the German crosses on the side (Backstory was it was a captured T-34 that the Germans dumped in a bog as they were retreating). All they had to do was wash the mud off and change the oil, and it's good to go.

>>38294629
>I know the video you're referencing
I wasn't referencing a video anon, a friend of mine was working with the guys who went around pulling the tanks out of bogs, they pulled out close to 20 last year, they managed to get 3 running, 2 SU-152's and a StuH 3, the rest either being sent on to collections to be restored or scraped for parts in other restorations.

>>38294620
I don't think EMPs work the way you think they do. They're not an instant "break everything electric" button, like everything else involving electricity, they're fickle. They will fuck up complex circuits (PCBs, microchips, etc), but if they are not plugged in, they have a chance of surviving, and simpler circuits (Like, for instance Battery>Ignition>Starter) will be more or less unaffected.

>>38294709
Yep, we've been over the science of EMPs before, which was why Guide said it wasn't an EMP but something that just killed all electronics, a lot more pervasive and impactful.

>>38294681

Aah, my apologies, this is the video I thought you were referring to:

As you walk, you decide to drop back a little bit and walk next to Sarah. Sarah is…well you aren’t really sure what Sarah is as you haven’t really interacted with her much. You know Morrigan can be loud and likes to smoke, Nem talks a lot and has lots of energy, Cath is quiet and works out, Mary is nice, cooks and reads and Bellona is a little weird and likes to look at you a lot.

Sarah is…well Sarah is quiet. You haven’t really seen or heard her do much else besides stay behind her rifle.

As you walk beside her, she glances over at you, but doesn’t say anything at first.

“You’re…Billy right?” she finally says, looking over at you once more.

“Yes,” you say, “sometimes Will.”

Sarah nods at that, “It’s nice to meet you Will,” she says.

There’s another period of silence as you continue to walk together.

“So uh…” Sarah says, “How’d you start working with Morrigan and the others?”

“Army saved me and then brought me here,” you say, “said I’d be good at it.”

“Oh…” says Sarah once again, before falling silent.

You continue walking like that for quite some time, covering ground steadily.

Did you have anything you wanted to ask Sarah?

>Ask her if she has any other names.
>Ask her where she got her rifle.
>Ask her…?
>Nothing, just walk.

I'm looking forward to the time where the find Will just absolutely COVERED in blankets and someone asks what he's doing. He'll turn just enough to look them in the eye and solemnly declare "Blankets are great" before settling back in and then probably springing out of the pile wondering if he's done something wrong.

I'd rather not subject Will to more nightmares. Especially when it seems like he's getting a lot better. Definitely an improvement since last night's talk with Morrigan.

>>38295991
anon actually makes a good point. We aren't acting like a very traumatized character, though I suppose it's more IC to play the, "I just assumed this was normal what do you mean it isn't" now that I think of it that really does make for a good character and story, but the occasional PTSD can't hurt.

>>38296063

That is the problem, it's not fun nor entertaining if we just improve and improve(even if that's the way to lose Wills virginity)

Eh i feel the manga is the better version of it if you ask me

>>38296955
yes. for the love of god yes. But make sure its Hellsing Ultimate not just Hellsing, waaay more accurate to the manga and the dub isn't half bad.

>>38296955
The Ultimate OVA's are fan-fucking-tastic. Haven't seen the original anime, though, because it deviates from the manga pretty early.

>>38296955
Yeah go watch Hellsing Ultimate sometime. Its a fun ride. Dub is pretty good.

“Do you have any other names?” you ask Sarah as you walk.

“W-what?” she says, turning to you with surprise.

“Do you have any other names?” you say again, “Morrigan said Billy was my “handle” when I said I didn’t have one.”

“O-oh…” she says, “Well…I guess…Skade. I had a few guys call me that back when I was with my other unit.”

“Is that where you got your rifle?” you ask, checking out the weapon. It wasn’t like Nem’s, you had seen a few before but the man at The Compound always wanted to work on his himself, so you didn’t touch them.

“Yeah,” says Sarah in reply, “I learned to shoot myself…then I got this one from them.”

“Why are you here then?” you ask her.

“Ah…” says Sarah, but then is silent and doesn’t reply.

You don’t ask her again, you’re still a little unsure on the whole question asking thing, Mary and Morrigan seem to be ok, but you don’t know about others.

“They got killed,” Sarah finally says, “So…I joined up here.”

You nod at Sarah, she doesn’t seem like she wants to talk anymore.

For the rest of the trip there’s mostly quiet, Nem and Morrigan talking occasionally and Cath giving one of her small body signs, but other than that not much. Bellona doesn’t even look at you all that much for once. You stop a few times to rest and once to eat, but it’s still a little bit late when you get back to Fort Riley.

>>38296937
No anon. I was implying that the cult isn't bigger and wider spread than Will realises. Also Anderson a shit.

Walking in the front of the building you don’t see Mary for once, which is slightly confusing.

“Mary!” yells Morrigan, as she starts to head to the back room “We’re back! Nobody died!”

“Good!” you hear coming from upstairs, “I’ll be down in a minute!”

“Who’s that?” asks Bellona, looking upstairs.

“Mary,” says Morrigan, turning to look at Bellona, “is Mary. I suggest you don’t mess with her.”

Bellona looks slightly off put by the reply, but nods in response. With that everyone else walks into the armory, Nem and Morrigan unloading themselves quickly.

“We’re going to go get paid,” says Morrigan, “You guys can clean up.”

You just nod, Cath doing so as well as you first unload the things in your pack and set them in your locker. You see why they’re so big now, you’re starting to get stuff and it’s a handy place to put it. Bellona and Sarah have taken off their things as well, though they look at you and Cath a little strangely as you start to clean the gear.

“Do you always do this?” asks Bellona as you start to unload her LMG.

“Yes,” you reply, Cath head bobbing slightly, “useful.”

“Ok then,” says Bellona, “Can’t say I’d do a whole lot better.” With that she simply leans back against the wall as you and Cath go through the weapons and armor.

“I’d like to do my rifle if that’s ok…” says Sarah, though she doesn’t seem to care that much about her armor.

>>38296989
>Bellona doesn’t even look at you all that much for once

What is she planning?

>>38297021
would you rather have people try to fix you, with your help, or die. Ultimately we can't tell you what to do, the choice will be yours.

>>38296989
>“They got killed,” Sarah finally says, “So…I joined up here.”
Even in an alternate universe Seras' first teammates get killed.

>>38297052
Cath just nods, with you and her quickly going through the weapons that have been fired and cleaning up the armor. Sarah checked her own rifle, though it didn’t need much. As the four of you walk out of the armory you find Mary once again at her desk, her hair a little damp as she looks up at you.

“Hello,” she says, “Morrigan and Nem aren’t back yet, I doubt it will be soon either, the military is a bit tougher with the money.”

“So…what do we do?” asks Bellona.

“I can show you to your rooms if you’d like,” says Mary, folding her book up, “I think you’ll be staying here at least a little while.”

“That would be nice…” says Bellona, her eyes glancing at you.

“Yes please,” says Sarah, who you think is a little less used to walking so far.

“Cath, are you going to go somewhere?” asks Mary.

Cath nods yes, then you see one of her eyes quirk at you.

“Will, are you doing something?” asks Mary.

>Going to go with Cath.
>Stay here, read.
>Stay here, rest.
>Other?

Cath is being more and more protective of us. What is she going to do? Teach us anti-rape drills?

Alright, looks like going with Cath wins!


And you know maybe Bellona...has more to her than just liking Will?

>>38297280
That might actually be useful given how odd bel has been acting.

does any one have the pic of a stick guy working out with the text "gotta get swole"

>>38297066
I have a plan that is one of the reasons i'm still alive, this plan has a very little chance of success even though me snd another have been planning for over a year and preparing we still do so but now there is only 3.5 months left until it startsand the first 3 months will be critical for it's success, if it doesn't work i will most likely be dead or worse within a year but i hope i'll be able to run an idea i've been having for a quest

“I’m going with Cath,” you say, to which Mary nods and you see Bellona’s eye twitch a little.

“Ok,” says Mary, waving as you follow Cath out the door, “Be back soon though, Morrigan’s going to head to Doc’s and I don’t want her to be alone with Nem!”

Cath raises her hand at Mary like she normally does, the door shutting behind the two of you as you head out into town. Cath is of course silent as you walk, but you seem to get a…well you think perhaps her step is a little lighter than normal. As you follow her, she leads you to a part of town that you haven’t been to yet, really the last part of town you haven’t been to yet.

There seem to be not that many people around, it is starting to get dark. Cath seems to know where she’s going though, so you follow her until she leads you up to another building. This one is a little small, but there’s a sign hanging up above the door. Well, it’s just a red cross, but it’s a sign.

Cath nods at the sign like it’s important, so you nod back.

“Doctor,” she says in the quiet voice she uses.

Ah, so that’s why she brought you here.

Cath opens the door, a small bell ringing as the two of you step inside.

>>38297309
My guess with Bell is she's looking for a replacement for the little brother she lost many years ago. He too, was a simple, naive boy who didn't know much about the world and how it worked. But he loved his big sis and when the world went to shit, all the two of them had was each other. He was taken and/or killed by bad men at some point, which really affected her.

What she misses the most is when her brother would snuggle beside her when he got sleepy or cold

“Be there in a second,” says a voice from the back, “just have to put this away…” You hear a slam from the back, then a man comes out from behind a curtain.

“Ah Cath,” he says, “It’s been a while, someone get shot again?”

Cath shakes her head no and then nods at you.

“Oh, is he the one I’ve heard about?” says the man, then holds out his hand, “nice to meet you, I’m Doctor Smith, I run the town clinic. You can call me Doc if you like, some people do.”

You…

And loth Guide brought the light to the darkness and showed that even in the cesspools of the world there could be good. For Guide called forth the light and even the trolls and demons were brought low before it as none could surpass his brilliance.

2 for standing there

At first the great Guide gave but one book that of John for he believed that the path out of the Cesspool was one guided by love. At this most auspicious gift those lowly being rejoiced for they knew the story of John. When love did not persuade all of the fallen Guide produced a second work to give them hope when they were most distraught and he named this second story that of Will.

>>38298536
And lo the heavens did open, and he gave the book unto those who walked, and so was created the great era of feelings.

“Will,” you say, looking at his hand a little confusedly before looking back up to his face. “Are you like the other Doc?” you ask him, slightly confused as to the distinction.

He chuckles a bit, “In a way, I guess,” he says, rubbing his hair with his other hand as he lowers the first, “We both bring comfort to people, I do it through healing and he does it through libations. I guess you can call me Doc Smith instead, makes it easier.”

You aren’t really sure what “libations” are, but nod in response to him.


It’s here that Cath surprises you by speaking up. “Medic,” she says, nodding at you as she draws both of your attention’s, “teach?”

“Oh!” says Doc Smith, turning back to you, “is that why you brought him here?”

Cath nods, then turns to you. “Learn,” she says, nodding back to Doc Smith.

“So you’re the team medic now huh?” asks Doc Smith, to which you shrug, “Well Cath says you are, I believe her.”

You just nod your head. If Cath thinks so it’s probably true, you aren’t sure what a medic is.

“Well, it’s a little late for me to teach you anything today,” he says, “But how much do you know already?”

“I’ve read a book…” you say in reply, shrugging, “Haven’t helped anyone.”

He smiles at you. “Well that’s a start at least,” he says, “better than most people. If you do want to learn more, I can help. But like I said, it’s a bit late for that. I’m guessing the two of you are heading over to Doc’s Place after this?”

Cath nods in response.

“Well keep Morrigan calm,” he says, “I don’t need another night trying to stitch her head up after a fight.

Cath nods again and then turns to leave, so you follow her.

“Stop by any time during the day Will,” he calls after you, “The world could always use another doctor.”

As the door closes behind you, Cath heads back towards MMS, moving a bit faster than when you came here probably to make it back in time to meet Morrigan and Nem.

It doesn’t take that long, but you nearly walk into Morrigan and Nem as they exit the building with Bellona in tow.

“Oy,” says Morrigan, “I thought you guys were going to be late. If you’re coming, go grab your cut from Mary and let’s go.”

Cath looks at you.

In my experience, all you really have to do is put some love in the setting, think out the world, and plot shenanigans will come naturally as the players make decisions.

Or he's just making this up on the fly, which I would give him mad props for.

What is with the stay home anons?

We can just learn from Doc Smith instead.

Considering the downtime we've had, there's more than enough time to be alone during the day when there are no missions.

Besides, we need to keep Morrigan out of trouble, and we have a unique way of throwing her for a loop with our questions.

No real reason to study at home either, we particularly need hands-on teaching from Doc Smith, and we can't do anything about that today.
