"Leave the heavy stuff here for now. It's safest if we go on cycles." * SteveM nods and S^3s, resolving to talk with Grizzly on a few things. * Trent wanders into the Place With Coffee.

He looks a bit disheveled. * Raenar drinks his coffee, Super extra sugar, and goes to pack his gear up. * Vander gets breakfast, asks the waitress where he is? * Ru`ach sits down. Foods. * SteveM gets down, looks at everybody gathered around the coffee urn, and proceeds to down about two cups of black coffee on the spot. Vander: yer at an eatery at Ft.

"It's an acquired taste." *to Ch'Dith* "You can live on it, but it tastes like shit." * Kasia turns to Ru and says in an amazingly polite and cheerful tone of voice, "Mawaruteimas yo-ugashi tobuteimas sekkusu o kokoromiru." As an afterthought, "Kudasai." * GameMaster listens to Ch`D echo N`Mor * Ru`ach grins back at Kasia. "Anata hajime." * N`Mor trudges around aimlessly, rubbing the sleep (or lack of) from his eyes * Ch`Dith doesn't speak Jap, does... what was that? * Kasia takes a sip of coffee, pastes on a wide grin, and responds, "Anata ato de suru. Watashi no tanoshimu no mimas." * Raenar swollows his pilles of 4 scrabled eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage almost effortlessly. * Vander waits for the coffee buzz to kick in * Trent looks across the table at Ru and Kasia. *muttered* "Why can't people speak English any more?" * Ch`Dith whispers to Trent "You do not want to know."

"Boy did I need this." "Do you really wanna know?" N`M: Nag[tm] him to get his scrawny little arse in here. * Kasia teekly breaks Rae's cig DS: Smack him around and summon him. "We're supposed to meet Carter at the front door. Vander, we still have those HoverHogs?" working on it * Trent pulls out Ru's 9mm and a pair of spare clips, slides them across the table. "Here, I loaded them with silver rounds last night." "Yah. Yer's is in the truck ." Rae: And you don't have a nicotine IV in yer bionics? *to Trent* "Thanks. I just hope I don't regret coing along." "We'll be needing them. I'm not bringing the truck nor the Plow with me this time out." but My lungs are real +m * Vander fills his pipe, lights up, blows smoke rings GM:right? Sergio looks over at Steve. "No truck, boss?" * Trent looks over at Steve. "Are you sure that's such a good idea?" * Kasia frowns @ Steve, but doesn't comment. Rae: your call. real "From what I can gather, this is going to be a quiet job, and trucks and hovertanks are nowhere near inconspicuous." * Kasia coughs at the smoke in the air. %P * Vander goes out to the truck to check the HoverHog's systems * Ru`ach helps Kasia. but all the cybernetics/bionics are listed in yer charsheety * Ch`Dith hrms. "Neither are Dragons." -y "That means you, N'Mor." * Trent shrugs. "Wonderful. You do have armor, right?" * Kasia frowns at Ch'Dith. "Can't you shapeshift?" "Yeah, Ch'Dith, I know, but you can shapeshift and do that shadow thing you do. Machines can't." * Ch`Dith shakes his head. "I do not have sufficient control to maintain this shape for more than a few hours at a time." * Vander fires up Steve's HoverHog, backs it out of the truck "We may also want to bring along that missile sidecar too." Kas: I'm in human form right now. }8=> Restating the obvious makes for good conversation. ;) %) * Vander parks the HoverHog, starts a maintainance check on it * Raenar starts repacking his stuff onto his Hover Hog. You've got this rp thing down. :) "Not that it'd help either way. Only humans seem to be able to be fooled by outward appearances. Animals know what I am." * Trent gets up from the table. "I'm going to gas up my bike." He walks out. * Kasia raises an eyebrow. "Are vampires counted as animals, here?" * Vander notices Trent walk out. "Oi! Want me ta give yer ride a once over?" >8 years of experience at it. I better be good at this or I'd be completely hopeless. * N`Mor boogies to 'pipes. "If you have bikes, now's the time to prep them. If not, go bug Vander about a HoverHog or one of those foldable bikes I had stuffed in the truck." "Hmm, sure. Can't hurt. * Ru`ach shoves her bag onto her bike. +" *to Kasia* "I'd say so, but you never can tell with those beasties." hrrm... vamps and dragons can automatically sniff each other out... age-old natural enemies. * Vander finishes the check on Steve's HH, starts on Trent's Tarantula * Raenar checks his guns. Thoughts of an old song come out. o/~Trigger Happyo/~ * Kasia walks over to Steve. "My Bug would be waaaay too noticable out there. Can I hitch a ride with you?" * N`Mor looks somewhat annoyed. He gestures at himself, "And what am I suppose to use for transportation?" Vander: percentile roll for each vehicle. * Trent whaps Raenar. * SteveM blinks once or twice. "I don't see why not." Rae: How totally unexpected and original." Ars: 93 to Steve's BTW, Tammy says "Hi" * Trent waves to Tammy Hi Tammy! * Kasia smiles quickly. "Thanks." * bonfire says hi back. Ars: 86 to Trent's Oi, Tammy *to N'Mor* "Like I said, talk to Vander." Hiya, Tammy! Oi, Tammy! Heya Tammy... Could we borrow yer squeeze for a couple hours while we play? Promise not to mangle 'im... }8=> too much, anyway. Ch'D: Lay off him. He's trying 'lo Tammy hey Tam * Kasia goes to grab her new non-plaid armor from the Bug "Trent, what all do you know about ways to kill vamps?" * N`Mor trudges over to the short one. "So.. dwarf. Do you have anything that I will not crush? Or am I stuck on hoof?" * Ru`ach grabs her armor from her bike. * Ch`Dith eyes NM. "You could ride on my back." * Vander looks up at N'Mor. WAY up. "Who's a Dwarf?!" "Unless you fear heights, of course..." *to Steve* "Well, water and silver are the most convenient. Wood and sunlight also work well." *to Trent* "Are there any other means?" * N`Mor coughs. "Pardon... /Hobbit/." "No problem. Lemme check." "Hmm...not that I know of." * Vander finishes inspecting Trent's ride, looks in the truck for something the Ubercow can use * N`Mor looks over at Ch'Dith. "I like the ground." "Thank you, Trent. Just wanting to know." doh.. KS' isp is K-lined Trent: you notice the woman Psi-Stalker from last night hovering around the doorway "No problem. By the way, you can use my supersoaker if you want. I got something a wee bit bigger." *hefts something that looks like it came off of a fire truck* K-lined != G-lined...and he has a herring account. N`M: what about him going through herring? * SteveM goes to a store to see about getting a few things, like, say, a silencer for a 9mm pistol. * Kasia straps on the armor 'n et 'n cetera "Hey Runt!! Check My hog next!" * Trent walks over to the lady stalker. * Vander keeps looking for something for N'Mor to use * Ru`ach does as Kasia. Makes sure her gun's loaded. "Keep yer Lillianrill leaves on!" Vander: you notice a number of live mounts nearby that might be able to hold him. * Kasia belts on the TW watergun, leaves the laser pistol in the trunk * SteveM loads a few clips of CAR-15 and 9mm silver ammo in the HoverHog, while he's at it. by "live mounts", I assume you mean horses? Vander: not always Among other things. Remember, this is Rifts. Point Ars: BTW is this cannon thing I bought TW, or do I need to feed it water? Brahmin! Oh, wait. wrong post-apocalyptic Earth. Trent: it ain't TW Okay, just checking. Trent: If it was TW, you couldn't use it. ;) * Raenar pulls out his gun and follows Kasia "There's nuthin in the truck you can use, but you might talk to whoever owns those... things." * Kasia glares at the belf following her. "What do *you* want?" Kasia: Why do you think I asked? ;) :) *shadow noises* *vorlon noises* *no noises* *lunatic noises* An all-syrup Squishie would be nice :9 N`M: the beasts look like a form of dinosaur... close to a triceratops. * N`Mor waits fer KS... * Raenar feels bored and tired.

"Anything I can help with? Oh, and how's my Tarantula?" Everything appears to check out. * Kasia frowns. "What're you up to, Mitchell-San?" * Raenar grabs the Runt. "What did you do???" "Yer ride's fine. Gimme a hand wit' that side car?" * N`Mor grumbles to himself, looking about for the owner of the beasts of burden. "Sure. Where do you want it?" Malik looks at the team with a disgusted look on his face. "You plebes are *totally* unorganized." * Vander makes "gakk"ing sounds as he tries to get his breath. "Oh, hi, Kasia. Just picking up a few things... noticed some crosses on some of the Rangers' armor and was looking to copy them, after a fashion." *** Malik (kurt@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #rifts * Malik waves. MooNazi! Ay, Nazi! Aloha, skullboy Oi, Malik and speak of the devil.. hey, Nazi-bot * GameMaster drops an anvil on his typoist "Oh." *frown* "Any reason why?" Nice of you to join us, soldier boy. Nazi-boy, even * Raenar puts the Runt down. what? hey malik "What could it hurt? Besides, I already got the big thing." *picks up a silencer for a 9mm pistol* * Vander coughs and hacks, the says to Raenar, " Fine!

Reid, after stowing his purchases in his HoverHog. 99 to attach the side car %) (had already seen to the Plow and his 9mm pistol before fooding) Malik: Basicially, we're working on getting out of here. * Ru`ach gasps. Vander's getting good rolls?! Malik: Basically, you guys are leaving the heavy stuff behind. * bonfire gasps at her network speed...somwhere close to 350 k/s. Ru: Maybe my rolls are proportional to the pre-game beating :) Naah ;) You realize that we'll have to completely reduce you to your component atoms every single session now. }8=> So does that mean we always tie you to the Most Foul and make you suffer through the WC "movie" from now on? *runs* Ch'd: eep! Ru: Maybe his rolls are proportional to the pointlessness of the task taht could work. :) Steve: *NO!![tm]* Trent: plausible. :) bak * N`Mor walks up to one of the beasts, reaching out a hand to stroke its... muzzle? Snout? Anyways, Steve, you're told by a guard that Carter and Meetal have already left the fort. Snout. "But did they say where they were going?" the thing attempts to bite you "No, but they did head southwards down the river." * Ch`Dith wonders what happened to Ms. Stalker who was waiting for Trent? * Vander finishes all his repairs/checks, makes sure his shotgun is loaded with silver rounds and has more in his ammo belt * N`Mor jerks his hand away swifty.

What Ch'D said GM:Do we have any Flashet{sp} buttels? * SteveM stops to set the anti-theft system on the Plow to "Maim" before rejoining the group. "Ok, people, let's move like we got a purpose." * SteveM is also dressed in his armor, BTW. "What's a 'purpose'? ;) Flechette bullets? no * Ch`Dith never is !dressed in armor. * Trent looks over at Steve. "Oh good, you did bring body armor." "Very funny, Vander. Now let's get going, we're burning daylight here!" * Vander gets into his armour * N`Mor grumbles at the group's intrepid leader, looking at the beast that tried to bite him. "I still need a mount, and I am unable to find the owners." * Trent is out of armor about as ofter as Ch'D. * Malik grumbles. "I feel like killing something.. where's Vander?" You sleep in it? *to Trent* "Crazy, not stupid." * Raenar puts on his infantry armor. * Vander mounts his Hog, points the laser rifle at Malik. "Right here Naziburger ." Ch'D: He sleepsn * Kasia has her armor on - no helmet. +'t Ru: point. Ch'D: Sometimes, but I haven't been doing that very often of late. Sleeping, that is. Or does that set come with one? *to Vander* Don't make me roast you, freak boy. A grizzled D-Bee with a bionic leg approaches N`Mor. "I'm the owner. You interested in Bessie here?" * SteveM stows his Panther in a side compartment, straps on his 9, and ties the CAR-15 to the back seat (note: it also has a little flashlight slung under the barrel. ) * Vander makes sure the machinegun is loaded with silver rounds good oops "I suggest we also take some conventional weapons. just in case we run into anything that's not a vampire...." "Make sure you have enough provisions for several days." "Shotgun, check. Mac, check. Guillotine front tire, check..." * Trent straps on about half of his normal gear, leaving the rest in the supply truck. * N`Mor looks the owner over. "Indeed. How much? And will it try to eat me again?" * SteveM looks at Ch'Dith. "Good idea. Of course, everything I have is conventional." * Kasia grins. "My head *is* a weapon." * Vander attaches his laser rifle to the sidecar. "I don't really plan on leaving it behind, either." *muttered* "Of course, it all hinges on what your definition of 'conventional' is..." * Trent also dons his *HEAVY* armor and glitterboy helmet. "Longbow,check. Ion gun, Check. Ak47 silver bullets, check. * Ch`Dith takes the high road and refrains from several rather gutterminded comments. }8=> Ch'D: Good. "You a Ranger? And you do this once a day," he slugs Bessie in the forehead between the eyes, "and she's fine." "That helmet workin' ok?" * Trent nods. "Yeah, the night vision gizmo works great." You want yer ride checked while we still have time?" +" * N`Mor tries to decide if he's a Ranger. ;) "Make it quick, Vander." *to Van* "I guess."

Only about 20 gallons, so make that 190 pounds of gear. "Good. One thousand is all I ask. She's a strong, fast mount, she'll do a Ranger like you good." * N`Mor unhooks his purse from his belt, and gives the owner the required pay. * Malik checks over his armor, and kicks some mud off his boots.

Trent: your turn * Trent does the predictible thing. (IOW, the insane thing) He revs his chainsaw and leaps at the thing, intent on doing some major damage. okay... roll to strike 12 + 7 Van: If the Smack Down Hotel is on the corner of Know Your Role Bvld. and Jabroni Dr., then where would the Smack Down Slaughterhouse be at? Steve: In the backyard? :) you dig into the thing's back with the chainsaw... roll for damage 17 MD "Oi! Trent, you maniac! You da Man!!!" At the corner of Roody-poo rd and Candy A$$ ave. Steve: What Rae said :) Rae: For once, I actually agree with you. The beast bucks, attempting to knock Trent off... it rolls a 16+4 "WHEE HA!!! * Ch`Dith tweaks his roll proggy for better output. Trent: roll to hang on. " "Ride 'em Cowboy." 10 + I have no idea what to use. Better readable output, that is. Not higher rolls. * Ru`ach mutters, "He's nuts. Just like I said." back in this case, PS damage oh, +25 then. =) "That's our Juicer!" you stay on the bucking rhino-buffalo. :) Rae: your turn. *to Van* "That doesn't make him any less crazy." fire my plasma rifle. with targeting. "Five quid says he rides it throught he entire fight!" * Trent idly ponders how much that would have to hurt, having a chainsaw stuck in its back and jostling around. Okay... roll to strike, with energy rifle and targetting reticle bonuses *to Van* I don't gamble. +anymore 30+6 +"" * Ch`Dith . o O (*30* ??????? ) Rae: *how* can you get a 30 on a 1D20 roll? Rae: 30? Wrong die, methinks. even Rae: Are you using a 1D30? it's a d4 *10 Rae: that's damage, not strike Roll to *HIT* first? rae: THAT'S DAMAGE!!! roll for strike, not damage * GameMaster hits Raenar. Rae: Strike = 1D20 8 GM: Roll for strike. ;) *chuckle* Rae: the shot goes wild... you kill another tree Kas: Nat 20 >:] Ars: Do I have to roll to hang on every time it dodges? * Kasia watches this cheesecake taste like it was made by UL - except for the fact that it's tasteless. :P Trent: no. * Trent looks at the plasma bolt. "Shit, try NOT to shoot me!" Ch`D: you're up Kas: ewwwwwww * Ch`Dith dives at the creature, raking it with his claws. Kasia: HEY! I make good food! Just ask Ars. 15. Van: Cheesecake? I think *not*. ;) Van: can I ph33r you now, or do I wait 'till later? the beast doesn't dodge, but Trent has to. Can't use fire breath with Trent in the way. Kasia; What kind of cheesecake? :) Van: Plain. Lowfat. Fake sugar and no crust. :P Trent: roll for dodge "FUUCK!" 2+11 Ru: Wait until after you've tried Napalm Express * SteveM ponders Lingonberry in the list of Cheesecakes made by UL. Kasia: Blah Makes me DamnGlad[tm] I took my heavy armor. *ow* Trent it whacked by Ch`Dith's wings * Kasia tries to get the taste out of her mouth... bbias - getting mizu s/it/is/ 7 MDC. Ch'D: roll for damage with claws and damage with wings? No value for that... I need those to stay in the air. Ars: Make up something for that okay... Trent: take 3 MD off your armor back N`Mor: you're up * Ch`Dith . o O (Get clear, Trent!) Aw darn, I'm down to 107md * N`Mor drags out his heavy plasma rifle, and levels it at the beast's head. . o O (Sure, NOW you tell me.) * Ch`Dith . o O (Sorry.) N`M: grabbing the rifle will take up one action hookee. Ru: your turn . o O (It happens. Steve almost killed my with something like that.) * Ru`ach casts Magic Net on the thing. (attempts to?) Ru: roll to strike 11 + what do I use for this? no bonuses yet or whatever strike bonus you have dangit. Nothin'. * Ch`Dith pulls up into a loop, corkscrews at zenith and comes for another strike, maw opening. .oO(GET CLEAR!) * Raenar checks his sights on his gun for accuracy the net is too small to encompass the entire creature, but the net does cover it's eyes. Carter lets loose an explosive arrow . o O (Sure, I'll try to work my way back, or under the belly or something.) If this hits me too, I'm going to be peeved. rolls an 18+2, hits the thing in the head ;) Are you insane enough to stay in the way of an incomin fire- breathing dragon? does 11 MD damage Steve, Kasia, you two don't get the first action this time out... * Ru`ach grumbles. "Is that thing gonna die anytime soon?!" Vander: you're up Major damage damage! If I can't get out of the way, which I'm going to try to do. Besides, my armor can (probably) take it. * VanderTook pops off another shot to the head the beast is unable to dodge... roll for strike More stolen juju goodness! 14 +6 :) * SteveM fumbles in the side compartment for his Panther, comes up with a can of ham and limas (Now how did THAT get in there?) roll for damage Armor is of limited use against a flamethrower... hope there's no cracks or exposed places. 18 Trent: yer up Nope, this is a full, airtight suit. Which is why I'm glad I'm wearing it. * Trent tries to slide off the top and cut down under the thing. "Die, ya big ugly piece o' jerkie! DIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!" roll to strike (poor description, that. ;) ) Vander: that's your one quote this melee 17 + 7 Ars: Does it have to be? :) yes. 1 melee == 15 seconds. Van: be thankful for one, I have none. :) kat: True :) even Trent's mouth ain't fast enough to give more than one quote per melee and he's got those Juicer muscles working... "Die you 10 pounds of munkey crap in a 5 pound bag!!!" Trent: roll for damage GM: Quote of the Night! Ars: Ja, though I can think fairly fast. 21 MD Like I said last sesh, "Tonight, the part of Raenar is still being played by Dwayne John-- I meant, Rocky Maivia." speaking of which, I have to wander off in the next five minutes to get dinner. :P Later kat Yum? =P Cya, kats lates kats kat: Okay. hrrm... I missed Meetal's action... she fires another arrow at the beast. *D minor ma7*, Kat! cya kat Ta, kat er.... habit. Bye kat! she rolls a 10 + 6 Ru: No. Hobbit . o O (And now I'm out of the way. Fire away, if you'll pardon the pun.) * Ru`ach gets stuck in Mrs. Vincent's class for a few years. beast can't dodge due to being blinded and hurting. * Ru`ach takes her typist apart and puts it back together in an *interesting* way. the arrow does 15 damage to the thing's body. * bonfire still has five more minutes, and I intend to be here for every second of em! Ars: Not to mention flat out of actions this melee Ars: And having an insane person hanging from its belly by a running chainsaw? Trent: yeah. :) Is it gonna die anytime soon? :) I bet the thing lands on me when it dies. =) the beast has no more actions... Raenar, you're up don't give me ideas Ars: Why? It would be amusing. fire my plasma gun at its head. 20+6 Way to go Rae! :) definite strike... roll damage, *2 20 Kameamea times 5!!! (Nat 20 == double damage, IIRC) * Kasia tries to slowly bring up the speed of her music choices... I'm falling asleep on my keyboard. %P Ars: Ja. 10*2 the head explodes in a ball of plasma fire... And there was much rejoycing. Yay. yay Yay woohoo! Yee. Hah. the thing totters for a moment, then falls right on Trent... the chainsaw digging through the thing's rib cage. * Ch`Dith comes in, too late to stop the strafe, roasting the corpse. * N`Mor stares down the barrel of his rifle. "Hrmf." "Do you smell what the Belf is Cookin'?" * Ch`Dith then backwings and comes to an abrupt landing, hurries back to the battle scene. * Kasia blinks a few times, then snaps out of it. "That... we have to get that thing off Trent." Malik wakes up, takes a look at what the commotion is, shrugs, and goes back to sleep. * Ch`Dith starts hauling at the carcass. * SteveM puts the can of ham and motherfrakkers back in the compartment and lets his CAAR-15 dangle in his hand. "Nice shot, Raenar." * bonfire goes. See you all next week. . o O (Forthwith and evermore, you are no longer "new guy".) * Kasia shudders. "Gah. What brought that thing stampeding through our camp?" "Bonzo shot, Rae!" * Trent can barely be heard to be cursing under the weight of the thing, before blade of his chainsaw opens up a hole in the top, which he climbs out of. cya, Kats. Ta, kat! nites Kats * Raenar bows "thank you. Thank you." *** bonfire [katster@wasteland.Reshall.Berkeley.EDU] has quit IRC (And dinner calls.) * SteveM stares blankly at the whatever-that-was. "I guess our provisioning problems are solved." "That. Was. Not. Fun." "That's A LOT of jerkie. " * Kasia turns a sarcastic look on Trent. "The gore look is good for you." * SteveM nods.... "Everybody ok?" *to Trent* "Are you okay?" Why do I have jerkie on the brain tonight? * Trent shuts off his chainsaw. *To Steve* "Not really. That thing..." *shudder* GM: is it a bofalo head or a rhino head? * N`Mor puts his rifle back in the saddle holster and lays back down on his mound of grass. * Ru`ach glares at Kas, "Wuss." Rae: Neither, now. *to Ru*"Shut it off, baka." Rae: kinda a rhino head... sorta * Kasia snarls at Ru. "You weren't looking straight down it's gullet when it charged at us!" "Man! Now I'll never get back to sleep!" * Trent glares at Kasia, turns to Ru. "I think so." He falls over. *to Kas* "kashou no naka de jigoku des." * Raenar finds the rhino's horn and mounts it to the front of his hog. Are we getting two couples going alla tentative at each other's emotions? Greeeeeeeeeat. * VanderTook checks his translator for that * Ru`ach kneels by Trent. * SteveM grabs Kasia by her upper arms and pushes her away from the brewing confrontation. * Kasia growls, then sighs. "Sometimes I want to rip her head off..." she says to Steve in an undertone. *to Ru* "I said shut it off!!" * VanderTook gets a towel out of his saddlebag for Trent * Ch`Dith walks over to Trent, lays a claw on his body and lets life energy flow into his wounds. (IOW: uses Healing Touch) * Trent blinks a few times and pulls off his helmet. "I think that thing landed on my head." He looks strangely at a rather large dent in the helmet. * VanderTook hands Trent the towel * SteveM just nods as he leads Kasia a safe distance away before pulling her close to him. Meetal and Carter fall back asleep "That'll be a bugger ta fix. +" * Raenar slices off a chunk of the rholalo and cooks it up. * Kasia shudders again, accepts Steve's comforting Rae: according to the log from earlier, there is no fire... cooking it up with what? * Kasia tries to find descriptors that don't belong in a bad romance novel. ;P :) * GameMaster drops an anvil on his typoist *chuckle* * SteveM just holds on, as much for him as it is for her. Ars: It's toasty already. Ch: there's that, too... "God... that *thing*..." "you still have your welding torch?" * VanderTook takes Trent's helmet for repairs. * Trent gets back to his feet, blinks. "I'm fine, really. Just hit my head a bit." "It sure was big, wasn't it? Well, it's dead now, and it ain't gonna give us any more trouble." "That was a soldering iron, but yeah. I still have it." "Oh, God, I hope not. I hope there aren't any more out there." "can I use it?" "If there are, they won't be coming by tonight. Not after that, and not if they know what's good for them." "Yeah. Just a sec." . o O (Oi, Kasia. You two OK?) * Kasia thoughts Van a burst of static that sounds a little like 'butt out' *chuckle* * Ch`Dith . o O (They seem to be fine, short one....) brb * VanderTook leaves them alone * N`Mor grumbles and rolls over, clambering to his feet. He trudges off into the dark to mark his territory. * Trent sniffs a few times. "Geez, what is that smell?" He looks down at his armor. "Damn, I HAD to cut through the intestines." *ROFL* * Raenar looks at the pile of Rhinalo carcas. "isn't anyone else gonna have some?" back * Ru`ach walks over to Trent. "You look like you should be in a lot of pain." * VanderTook gets the makeshift hotplate set up for Raenar, then starts working on Trent's dented helm *to Kasia* "Hold on a second. I have to do leader-type stuff for a while." "Right." "I do not need food." * Kasia follows Steve back to the clearing, glares at Rae. "How can you *eat* after that?" * SteveM lets go reluctantly and walks over to the scene of the carcass. "Ok, Sergeant, you know anything about butchering?" Malik looks up at Steve. "Sorry, sir. Not a thing. I'm a soldier, not a butcher." "A hunter always eats what he kills." "Right." * Kasia looks mildly sick. "You smoke, you eat... that... thing, and you've had many metal objects stuck in you. Why?" * Trent shakes his head. "I probably should be, but I'm not really. I do want do get this armor cleaned off, though. Or, at least put in a pile away from camp." "He's kinda cold blooded for an Elf, ain't he?" * Ru`ach chuckles and sniffs. "Good idea." "I gotta be me." "Yes, Vander, he is." *shiver.* "Look... I heard you complaining earlier about not being able to sleep..." *to Raenar* "If you're finished, then you'll want to cut some more off for the rest of us later on?" Trent: Ain't there a river here? okay, who *does* have "Skin and Prepare Hides". I'm sure there's plenty here to make someone a MDC shield. *to Raenar* "Like right now?" "Just an adreniline rush. It'll pass." * Ch`Dith doesn't. "I guess I could slice a little up for later. +" * Trent strips off the body armor, (yes, he is wearing clothes underneath, get your minds out of the gutter) and puts it on the ground. I'm sure Ru is devastated with disappointment. }8=> "I'll have yer armour ready fer ye by tomorrow *to Raenar* "Good, get to it. And steer clear of the rear flank and all along Trent's hole. That meat ain't gonna be good, and the rest of us don't have stomachs of steel." ." * Ru`ach punts Ch'D. *chuckle* to Van: "Yeah, but... well, I know a little trick if you need to zonk quickly. Just if you need it." She sighs, glares at the carcass again, and shivers. "Whatever. 'Nite, runt." * Trent punts Ch'D too. Ow. Ow. "Thanks." "No, that's okay Vander. I can't sleep now, so I'll do it." * Raenar starts slicing. The Rhinalo into small packs for the trip. "Do we have anything to keep this in?" -. * VanderTook gets to work repairing and cleaning Trent's armour * SteveM heads on over to that flat spot and strips off his armor as well... except he piles it neatly next to his HoverHog. * Kasia armorlessens, finds the flat spot, and stretches out on her bedroll. * Trent takes his armor down to the river and scrapes congealing and drying...stuff off with a knife, trying to ignore the smell. * SteveM joins her (in his own bedroll, gutterminds) and @zonks. "Night." "Night." "G'nite, Steve." "Night, little buddy." "g'nite, John-boy" >:] * Kasia watches Steve not get to sleep... uses a touch of psi to let him drift off. GM: *THWAP* * Kasia missed something? * VanderTook smacks Ars with a weasle Kas: something from the Waltons * Ru`ach still can't sleep. * Raenar remembers that it is his watch now. "I gues the rest of the beast will have to go bad." Oh. Okay. I think. Kasia: Waltens referrence Kasia: Blatant Waltons Reference. Apparently. * N`Mor finds a spot off a bit away from the rest of camp and sits down in the night, bursting into a deep, low moaning song, in an unintelligible (to everyone else) tongue. * Kasia sleeps, and goeth to sleep, too. Later Kasia nites Kasia-chan cya, Kasia Okay, I guess we'll have to pick it up later... *D minor ma7*, Kas Tataa! night * VanderTook continues working on Trent's armour * Kasia [smbeaver@p22.amax11.dialup.sjc1.flash.net] has quit IRC ("George, there is nothing in this world so permanent as a temporary emergency." -- Delos Harriman) g'nite, Dwagin.
