Lucky Strikes Bowling Alley

[Arson Anthem]

(Picking up immediately after the Beattle Bomb storylines)

*As we drive through the town, I think that it looks even emptier than normal, and wonder if Bunny warned the residents. Then the alley comes into view and I see two people standing outside - Bunny and IA. I glance at Retro, but don't say anything*

[Poison Shot]

Im guessing thats it eh? I've never actually been here. Interesting.

[Toxic Panda]

*I pull up to the alley and turn my car off. I lean my head against the back of my seat and close my eyes taking a deep breath. We could have died out there today, some of us came to close....I look in the back and see the boys had patched themselves up and were passed out. I turn and see IA and Bunny outside the alley and reluctantly get out of the car. My muscles scream in pain as I lean against it and wait for the others to show.*

[Sylvia Main]

*I see IA and Bunny. Despite my lack of energy my anger flares. I cross my arms and glare at her, trying my best not to scream at her.*

[Arson Anthem]

*When the car stops I wait for Sarah to get out, then follow her out and walk around to the other side. I open the door, wake up Gear, and help him stand up. I look between Bunny and Retro, and decide I'd best just get into the alley*

[Funhouse Gear]

*I walk along next to Arson, watching the ground so I don't trip. I notice Bunny and IA and try to say hello, but it throws me into a coughing fit and I feel like my lungs are getting ripped out*

[Sylvia Main]

*I see the others walk into the alley and decide that's the best course of action. I scowl at Bunny before following them.* Shower time. Be right back. *I head to the supply closet and grab a few clean clothes and go to the bathroom.*

[Arson Anthem]

Easy there... *I get Gear to one of the bedrooms in the back and then sit down on the floor to wait for my turn in the shower*

[Sylvia Main]

*I pull on a light grey sweater and some black skinny jeans. I throw my bloodied clothes into the waste basket. They're BLI and beyond repair. I look at myself in the mirror, I'm baggy eyed and have cuts everywhere. The place where the drac shot me hurts and the place where Red stunned me is bright red. I wash my face off in the sink and scrub off any blood I missed. I walk out and throw myself down onto the couch. I smile weakily and yawn* Your turn Arson.

[Arson Anthem]

Thanks. *I pick out some extra clothes as well and then head to the bathroom. After the shower I put ointment on my burns and wash out the worst of my cuts in the sink, saving the one on my forehead for last. When I see a flash of white I have to take deep breaths to keep from throwing up, but put some surgical tape to good use and join Retro on the couch a couple minutes later* So in all the confusion, I don't think I ever asked how your guys' raid in the city went.

[Sylvia Main]

*I was resting up, head against the back of the couch. When Arson comes in and sits by me I wake up and bring my legs up to sit indian style. When she asks about the raid I freeze up and suddenly take interest in a loose thread on my sleeve.* Oh... it went... well.

[Arson Anthem]

*I'm too tired to pick up on Retro's discomfort* So you got the remotes, then?

[Sylvia Main]

*I nod.* They had a bunch of back ups. We were found out and had to find a few of them that they had reprogrammed. Blackie and her brother were captured. We met up with Poison. I killed Belle Sacramento. Grabbed a latte. Same old same old.

[Arson Anthem]

*I stare at her* Back up there, a minute - Blackie and her brother were captured? And you did what?

[Sylvia Main]

Oh, Blackie's alright. Not sure about her brother though. Honestly we all got split up and it was a huge blur. *I shrug and play with the thread some more. Then I mumble* And yeah... I killed Belle.
