Alrighty!

Looks like we're going to the washroom.

Finally, I've been waiting for this. :D
Let's see if we can get Will to open up a bit more.

Haha time for Mercs. My productivity is shot for the rest of the night.

>>38813610
Get out.

>>38813666

>>3881368
Fuck off.

>>38813666
>666
Devil confirmed. Trying to ruin Will.

I actually think its still to early for Will to make meaningful progress. He was imprisoned and forced to wage war for five years minimum and probably regressed mentally. He has been out of it for about two or three months now, and he is still in a Merc company.

>>38813733
I wasn't that anon anon, so good job being a asshole.

>>38813768
>still to early for Will to make meaningful progress
I think Guide's going for this, so we can try to help him open up more but it wont affect him for a while.

>>38813733
Uhh, thats not shitposting anon, frankly your posts are more shitposting than his are.

>>38813740
So fucking what? We're better then that here, and if you can't stand that then your free to ignore his posts or leave if your so assblasted about it.

>>38813768
>>38813836
He has beel like what, 2 or 3 weeks with the girls?
It's early, but he should be a bit better.

>>38813848
You can fuck off too.

>>38813768
That's a fair point. He's made some progress, though. I think Will's starting to understand, little by little, that these are people he can trust. Most of them have been looking out for him in their own way. It doesn't have to be a big step, but even a slight step will be enough.

>>38813882
i think its been like a month an 1-2 weeks

Do we really need all the arm chair psychologists posting in spoilers? We're all aware. You can keep your psych 101 to yourselves.

Thirsty. That’s all that you can think of at the moment, how insanely thirsty you are. Even over the pounding of your aching head your dry mouth begs for relief. You manage to sit upright, barely, even as you grasp at your throbbing skull. Getting to your feet is more effort than you expect, your legs still a little wobbly.

You somehow manage to notice that you aren’t in either your boots or your walking around gear, which surprises you slightly but you’re still too focused on water to care. Your door is rather loud when you open it, you should probably check it later when you get the chance. Every other door in the hallway is still closed you notice, doing your normal check for people/things more important than you before you exit. Taking the few necessary steps down to the washroom’s closed door, you open it and step inside.

There is your goal, the spout on the wall.

You take the next few steps and turn the spout, sticking your head underneath it so you can greedily drink up every last bit of water before it has a chance to even hit the basin. You don’t think you’ve ever tasted water this good, even after a hard day of work around The Compound. Water was one thing that you never suffered for, even if you did have to drink after everyone else.

After what feels like hours of glorious cool wetness, but is in reality maybe a minute or two, your mind clears enough that you notice something. The other spigot is running too.

Turning your still throbbing head carefully you are greeted with a strange sight.

Mary is standing under the other spigot without clothes on, her hair and body wet as she stares at you in surprise, her arms across her chest and down her stomach. You must have interrupted her.

She doesn’t say anything, simply watching you.

You…

>Stare back.
>Ignore her, you’re still thirsty.
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…
>Other.

>>38813965
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…

>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…

>>38813965
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…
Go to kitchen go to spigot there. Do not make Mary mad. Mad is bad.

>>38813965
>Stare back.
> you’re still thirsty.
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…

Look at her, take a swig, then realize "oh yeah. I have to leave in this situation."

>>38813965
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…

>>38813965
>Leave. You think you’re supposed to leave now…

>>38813965

"Didn't mean to interrupt."

In any case being in a non terror inducing environment, as well as that base human instinct to do something, anything at all really, with free time, as well as positive social interaction would have done alot. That said there is so much so deeply ingrained in Will it will not be an instant process.

Except some people push Wills issues too far, and yes I'm talking about the horse thing. That could have been some good development, but it's as if we shouldn't have been given the option for all the good it did in many of the players trying to go for "the feels" of being Willy.

That wasn't pushing his issues too far. It's perfectly acceptable for people to avoid a horse.

I don't like the fucking things and it was snorting and stomping it's feet. I'd have fucked right off. With Will I voted to stand still. If you want shit taken too far sleeping with Morrigan is the example.

Alright, looks like Will hasn't forgotten everything.

Leaving.


And please chill out a little. Discussion is fine, not shitposting.

>>38814123
that chance the horse could have been easily startled by will and thrashed about would have done more damage to Will in long run i weighed the risk to the reward on that vote and choose to stay were we are unless you wanted a possibility of a flash back.

You blink at Mary once more before something in the slowly calming mass of achiness you call a brain reminds you that you probably shouldn’t be here. You forget why exactly you shouldn’t be in here, but you’re pretty sure you aren’t. Turning back around, you turn off the water in the spigot and turn towards the door, shutting it behind you as you head to your room. Putting on your boots and your walking around belt, you head downstairs, the door to the washroom still shut.

You make your way to the kitchen and the other water spigot, using one of the cups you eventually drink three glasses full before filling a fourth, starting to drink it as you hear feet walking into the kitchen. Turning around you see Mary, now dressed though her hair is still wet. You can’t really describe the look on her face, but you don’t think it’s bad…at least not yet.

She gives you a gentle smile as you stare and takes a seat at the table, tapping the top with her hand.

“Come sit down Will,” she says, to which you nod and sit, glass of water still in hand.

You sit down and Mary watches you for a bit before saying anything else.

“You’re up early,” she says, “I thought you’d still be asleep for a bit longer.”

You just remain watching her, wondering what’s going on.

“Did you know I was in the shower when you came in?” she asks you.

“No,” you say.

“Why’d you come in?” she asks.

“Thirsty,” you reply, holding the glass of water.

Mary smiles at that.

“That’s what happens when you drink too much,” she says, seeming to relax a little bit.

You take this as a good sign and take a small sip of water from your glass, but you keep your eyes on her.

“Why’d you leave?” asks Mary.

“What?” you ask her.

“Why’d you leave the washroom?” she asks again.

Just getting in. Shame no one thought to offer to wash her hair like Bell. Useful and dense.

>>38814889

>>38814965
She didn't ask.

>>38814968
I'm sorry.

>>38814968

Japan is weird. At least I assume it's Japan.

Anyway, looks like "It's not right" is the winner.

>>38814889
I still haven't figured it out, wtf is it?

>>38814965
She didn't ask and she was totally naked, pretty sure seeing a woman like that is something bible boys beat into us.

>>38815008
nah we didn't mind seeing the other chick naked, hell we wondered why her chest has so much fat, i believe she had us give her a body wash.

>>38815006
Follow the link and find out anon.

>>38815031
What?

We never saw anyone naked nor wondered why she had a big chest.

We never washed anyone's body either.

>>38815031
Washed her hair and she had her bra on I think. She was fully clothed from the waste down and was facing away from us at minimum.

>>38815031
Nah, we only washed Bell's hair.

We need to help wash Cath's hair after a sweaty workout.

>>38814728
>>…It’s not right…I think.

>>38815008
You mean the same guys who didn't let Will see the women at all as they probably molested and had their way with them on a daily basis?

Why would Will think her being naked will cause her to leave?

I think it kind of makes more sense if he left if the washroom was occupied rather then nakedness,

>>38815076
We didn't have "friends" at the compound, we were useful. Useful people didn't have "friends."

What was the thread#
I remember her being topless.

>>38815091
Agreement. Will was clearly in the room out of turn, something that would have warranted a beating back in the compound. He is most fortunate that MMS are willing to overlook such transgressions.

>>38815127
She took of her shirt but she was facing away. I think she had a bra too. Otherwise Morrigan would have kicked her out.

>>38815127
>>38815158

She had her undershirt on, she wasn't topless.

>>38815127
Thread ten. She wasn't topless.

>>38814728
You look at Mary as you try very hard to think of why you left. It’s not an easy thing for you to do, mostly because you aren’t used to thinking about why you do things. You help out because it keeps you alive. You clean things because people like it when you do that. You shoot the targets because otherwise they’re going to shoot you. Life is simple that way, if not exactly easy.

But lately you’ve had more time, where there wasn’t anything to fix, where you had to think about things, how to be useful. Learning how to fix people is useful and you still do that, especially with Doc Smith. You even thought enough to decide you like MMS. But that doesn’t help you out so much now, not enough. It’s like…it’s like there’s something there, just out of reach but you can’t see it or reach it or even touch it. But you know it’s there.

It’s not that she was in the room, you’re allowed to be in the room with other people as long as you’re quiet and don’t disturb them. Some of them still didn’t want you in there, so they’d yell at you, but Mary has never yelled at you.

So it was something else. You just don’t know what.

“I…it’s not……it’s not right…I think,” you say to her, looking up and shrugging helplessly. You just don’t know how to explain it better.

Despite this lack of proper answer, Mary smiles at you.

“That’s right Will,” she says, “You aren’t supposed to go in the washroom when other people are naked. Do you remember why?”

>>38815690
You shake your head no, but you feel like it’s right on the tip of your tongue.

“It’s because they’re naked,” she says, “You aren’t supposed to see other people naked.”

You nod your head at that.

“Am I in trouble?” you ask, prepared to either receive your punishment or be made to do something.

“No,” she says, giving you a reassuring smile, “It’s not a big deal, you did it on accident.”

You nod your head, happy you aren’t going to get beaten.

Mary simply smiles at you as she stands up, heading towards the box where the food is kept.

“Are you ok Will?” she asks you.

>Just say yes.
>Ask if you can help.
>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.
>Other.

I kinda want to ask Morrigan the last one, but I think she choked on enough cigarettes. Let's give her a short break.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.
>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.

I mean we saw people naked all the time at the compound. Usually dead or dying, or coming from the western part of the compound.

>>38815713
>>Ask if you can help.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.
>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.

>>38815622
>Big Boss is actually the head of the Mars Mercenaries, innumerable other merc companies, and is using this position after what is most likely a post-nuclear future to make the United States into Outer-Heaven

>>38815738
This. We can be useful and avoid making people mad at the same time.

>>38815713
>>Ask if you can help.

I'm sure Morrigan will walk in when Will asks.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.
>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.

>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.

>>38815820
At this point I might as well see how long it takes for us to make her cough up a whole pack and log it when we do.

>>38815713
>Ask if you can help.
>Ask her why you aren’t supposed to see people naked.

>>38815896
This is how Morrigan dies, we make her cough up a lung from how often she nearly swallows her cigarettes. I hope you guys are happy!

>>38815940
Hell, she might quit smoking to prevent that from happening.

Alright, looks like we're asking both!

Writing.

>>38815940
>>38815957

Well a full pack is on average 25 cigarettes. So if we keep up the pace we are going by (roughly) thread 50 she should have coughed up a full pack of cigarettes. Lets see if that makes her quit. Or if it makes Will owe her a pack.

WELP I just stepped in cat shit twice, but I made it to the thread on time so I guess today works out to be about even. Thanks for running guide.

You look at Mary as she stands up and starts getting the stove ready, the food already laid out on the top of the kitchen counter.

“Can I help?” you ask her as she turns towards the food.

“Hmm…” she says, looking at the food, “You can crack eggs, come here and I’ll show you how.”

You stand up, leaving your glass of water on the table as you move over to where Mary is waiting for you.

“Now I want you to do this for all of them, ok?” she says, gesturing to the pretty big pile of eggs that she usually sets out.

“Ok,” you say.

“You just take the egg, like this,” she says, showing you how to hold it in your hand, “And crack it on the side of the bowl.”

She does so, only using a little bit of force.

“Now you try,” she says.

You nod, doing exactly what she showed you. Well, close enough, yours is a little messy but she seems to think it’s ok.

“Good job Will,” she says, going back to the bacon slices as the stove heats up, “Now do all of them.”

You nod, getting to work cracking eggs.

A few minutes later after you’re done with most of the eggs, that questioning voice in your head comes back.

“Mary?” you ask.

“Yes Will?” she answers as the bacon sizzles and she takes the eggs from you.

“Why aren’t you supposed to see people naked?” you ask her.

“Hmm…” she says, focusing on the food, “do you not remember why?”

“No…” you say.

“Well…it’s generally considered to be bad,” she says, smiling briefly at you, “Because…well, it’s mostly considered bad because boys and girls are different.”

You nod your head.

“So it’s important for you to keep that in mind if you ever see a girl naked, unless she says it’s ok you shouldn’t look.”

“If she says it’s ok?” you ask, confused.

“Ah, well I don’t think that’s going to happen to you,” says Mary with a smile, “So just don’t look at naked girls, ok?”

You nod your head.

“What about boys?” you ask.

Mary chuckles at that.

“Well I don’t think you’ll very many naked men,” she says, “But generally it’s ok, though some won’t like it. So just look away if they don’t want you to look.”

“Ok,” you say, taking a plate of turning to see Morrigan staring at the two of you, her mouth open.

“Are you ok?” you ask her, plate of bacon in hand.

“I’m…I’m fine…” says Morrigan, moving to slump into a seat at the table.

Soon after when Mary brings the eggs over, everyone is at the table.

Mary takes a seat next to you, Morrigan already on your other side.

“Will,” she asks you as you dig into your food, “Do you remember giving me money last night?”

You pause, nodding at a vaguely remembered memory.

“Did you actually mean that?” she asks, “Four hundred and fifty dollars is a lot of money.”

>Money for everyone. They helped.
>Well if Mary says it’s ok for you to keep it…

Now, if I were Morrigan, I would quietly arrange to have that money collected and stuffed in a bank account in Will's name. It should be reasonably clear that he has no idea what to do with money, so it might be worthwhile just to have some in reserve for him, etc.

>>38816924
>Damn woman, that's cold. Probably accurate. But cold.
For now.

>>38816924
What about Bellona? Unless she thinks letting Will see her naked would corrupt his innocence or something.

>>38816924
It's not really cold, just a fact.

Will wouldn't even know what to do with a naked woman anyway so it doesn't bother him.

Anyway, looks like money for everyone!

Yep, your autistic or gay

>>38817726
Did.. you never see any of the other instances he's used that particular pic or various others with the same character to reference her?

>>38817761
What can I say? I don't like the bored/dazed look.

Maybe if she was perky or smiling or something.

>>38817793
Autistic it is.

>>38817793
Perky or smiling is not how I'd describe Cath in general. Sorry to disappoint.

So you.. wished Morrigans picture represented Cath and flipped the two around? Or what?

“They helped,” you say as you clear your mouth of food. You distinctly remember that everyone helped you stay up to win the money, even if you don’t remember how.

“Alright Will,” says Mary, still handing you a stack of money, “This is your cut then.”

>Gained $75. Total now $525.

You nod, taking the money.

“Everyone,” says Mary, causing most of them to look up immediately, though Nem is still eating, “Will has decided to share last nights winnings with everyone else.”

That causes Nem to look up, everyone else’s eyes widening a little bit.

“Damn Will,” says Morrigan as she reaches over and takes one of the stacks Mary has, “You didn’t need to do that.”

“Everyone helped,” you say, finishing your food.

“Well I poured shots I guess,” says Nem, scooping up her money.

Cath and Bellona just look at you as they scoop up the money Mary gave them.

Sarah looks surprised as Mary hands her a stack as well.

“I didn’t…” she starts.

“You watched the building for me,” says Mary, “And we’re good on company funds right now.”

“Ok…” says Sarah, pocketing her money.

You finish breakfast shortly afterwards, everyone packing up and helping clean.

You see Bellona looking at you some more, before being distracted by Cath bumping into her.
You ignore it though as it’s none of your business, merely stepping outside to the main lobby to read since Doc Smith isn’t going to have anyone around at this time of day.

As you’re picking up your book, which Doc Smith had said was a good start but not as good as a real education, you hear a knock on the door, looking up in time to see the man from last night come in wearing a fresh looking uniform.

“Hello there son,” he says with a grin, “Already up and at em huh? Better than a few of my boys you outdrank.”

You just look at him and nod, wondering what he wants.

“Is your boss around?” he says, “I have a proposition for you.”

“Morrigan!” you call back to the kitchen, causing Morrigan to stick her head out.

“What Billy?” she says, before seeing the man, “Oh, it’s you.”

“You’re the boss?” asks the man, apparently a little surprised.

“Yeah, I’m Morrigan,” says Morrigan, straightening up and taking a few steps into the lobby, “Of Morrigan Military Solutions. You got a problem with that?”

“No,” says the man with a shrug, “I just thought the purple haired one was in charge.”

“That’s Mary,” says Morrigan, “She’s the secretary.”

“That explains it,” says the man, “Anyway, I had a proposition for you, something that could make us both some money, you interested?”

“Got any details first?” asks Morrigan.

“It involves hitting Salina,” he says, “I’ll need your team to go in before the main wave. More than that is dependent on your interest. Pays more than what the army is giving for joining the main assault.”

I'm assuming this means "details first", like any sane mercenary.

To be 100% honest, I was very much expecting to be asked to participate in the assault: we did the recon, so it would help to have us around.

I honestly think being interested is out of character for her with how pissed she was that they were even in town..

>>38818867
>Morrigan is interested

It might be a good idea...We're a small team so special warfare type ops might fit us better than open battle. Plus we've already scouted the area...we know it better than anyone...

>>38818867
>Morrigan wants details and numbers.

>>38818927
This.

>>38819065
Then again, the fact that the bandits have sex slaves would be something she would be pretty pissed and want to do something about.

Guys.. you know they're going to saddle us with the work and take a cut from the military. With us making them look good.

You're helping another company set itself up here and squeeze us out.

>>38819162
That's why the "details" option and how risky it is for us physically and economically.

>>38818867
>Morrigan isn’t interested.

So, "Details first or leave" seems to be winning.

Writing.

>>38819193
Right. I'm just worried it'll sound like a good deal. We get out there. Have us do our job. Then kill us. Or.. offer us merger.. then kill us.

Even if the worst case scenario doesn't happen. We might be at risk of becoming their bitch. They pay us. The military pays them. We more or less end up working for mars... without working for mars.

>>38818927
This!

>>38819265
What reason would they have to shoot us in the back beyond "lulz we're evil!"? Sure, they might try to stretch the contract in their favor, but to some extent, there's always "we were hired for this specific task: either pony up more cash, or we aren't lifting a finger for you".

>>38819265
You are exaggerating a bit, and both companies base operations are different, ours is for small and tactical missions while theirs ir more for assault and warfare.
I don't think this means that we are becoming their bitch, more like they need us, our team work IS being some kind of stealth group.

I doubt the town is big enough for them to commit large amount of effort into securing it for their company.

>>38819265
Calm your shadowruns.

>>38819162
Mars is already an extremely large and successful mercenary company, and honestly, they deal on a completely different scale from MMS. They aren't going to set up shop in a place like this. It's too small for a permanent presence of theirs, they're here to deal with the large camp, then move on. They don't want to deal with the small local bullshit that is MMS's bread and butter.

Them hiring us for scouting is probably because they want a small group that knows the area, instead a platoon of groundpounders.

>>38819265
They probably won't, there's little reason to risk serious damage to their reputation, and possibly losing a couple men, for the amount of money they'll be paying us.

>>38819339
Not, "Lulz we're evil."

Just killing off competition. Everyone hated these guys so them being all reasonable is flipping my paranoia switches.

>>38819346
Just because they've got a large group doesn't mean they're incapable of tactical missions. They may just want to use us in this particular instance because we've already scouted the area.

>>38819400
Last time I randomly spouted off a shadow run I had nailed it in his other quest. But I getcha.

>>38818986
Some people are fucked up "wow."

>>38819433
Never said that, but they work on a different level.
While we focus on recon and stuff, also this is our turf, we know our way around and they don't.
Remember, this is in a fucking small city, they have no reason to make a shop here

>>38819433
>MMS
>competition for MARS
Maybe if they were to grow by an order of magnitude or two.

>>38819433
A bad reputation does not equate to drooling idiocy, and that's exactly what it would take to try to murder a mercenary group on a cooperative mission. One surviving witness, and all of a sudden you have murder trials and enough bad press to drown your average Hollywood fame whore.

It's not even very much money, or a very large amount of competition. A big group is not going to risk huge amounts of bad press for knocking off such a tiny competitor.

>>38819501
To add on to this Morrigan's company isnt a very profitable company. When we started out we used old Weapons that were scavenged. Why would they try to absorb a small barely profitable company that barely has any contracts and when work in this small city is sparse according to when we first joined.

You see Morrigan’s face twitch a couple times, she seems to want to tell the guy no, but a job is on the table. Job’s mean money, money means food and booze. Therefore money is important.

“Details,’ she finally says, “Details and payment before you’ll get a yes or no out of me. Then an actual contract, on paper, filed to the army before we lift a finger. All that is if I fucking agree to it. You got me?”

The man snorts at her and nods his head.

“I gotcha,” he says, “You’re as tough as they said you’d be.”

“Who said what?” says Morrigan.

“I know people,” says the man, “Who know people who know about you. Not a lot, but enough to say you were a tough bitch.”

“Yeah well they’re right,” says Morrigan, “Now you going to tell me what you’re offering or are you going to fuck off?”

The man holds up his hands in a placating motion.

“Fine,” he says, “We’re planning on sending in a team to distract the bandits or whatever they want to call themselves, while we get our forces into position. Decent sized group, with your six, there should be about twenty.”

“About?” asks Morrigan.

“Seventeen, if you want to be that precise,” says the man, You’ll go in about an hour beforehand acting like merchants selling weapons, distract them while we get set up around town.”

>>38819938

“And when you attack?” asks Morrigan.

“You get into a nearby building and fly the American flag out a window,” says the man, “So we know not to shoot you.”

“Better not shoot at us, we’ll shoot back,” says Morrigan, to which the man snorts, “How much are you paying?”

“Five hundred a head,” says the man, “Plus equal shares of loot.”

“What’s a share?” asks Morrigan.

“Whatever you can carry,” says the man, “By your report they shouldn’t have that much shit anyway, nor all that good quality. We’re here because the government paid us, nothing more.”

“Five hundred a head and loot for waltzing in on a fucking caravan, with you an hour away” says Morrigan, “Sounds like…”
