There. There. It go through? Did it go through?
Good. It's taken me darn near five hours to figure this thing out. Found it just lying there in the middle of the desert, and I just figured, "If no one else is usin' it, maybe I can!" Would have been brilliant of me if I had actually...Oh, I dunno, known how to work one...Radio, I'm talking about. Radio.
I hope there's someone out there. Otherwise I'm just broadcasting to empty space.
...Someone's out there, right?
The name's Not A Cool Kid. I know. It's long and drawn out and stupid. But I'm not a very creative person. Don't get me wrong - I'm no monochromatic, ruler-loving, mind-washed Drac. But I don't always have the best of ideas, the best of designs. I just have what comes outta my head. Frankly, it's probably better that way. If I put thought into something and then it turned out stupid, well that'd be all the more disappointing.
I'm rambling. I do that.
I go by "Nack" for those who're too lazy to say my full name. It ain't that long, though. Just more than the two-word names so many of you Zonerunners have. Guess I just didn't get the memo. Rambling again. Come from somewhere out in the middle of the Zones. Really, I'd be more specific, but I have no clue. I'm pretty clueless, really. I mean, I've been out here for seven years. And just now, I figured out that there were others. Real smart of me.
Not that I've been doing anything. I'm no hero. I've been sittin' on my seatwarmer, playing with stuff I found out here. Makes someone get a little lonely, really, go a little crazy. But aren't we all a little crazy?
Look, my battery's dyin' in this thing, and I haven't figured out how to recharge it or nothin' yet. Didn't know what to say, so I hope I said something right. Hope nothing broadcasted wrong. I'll try mixing some stuff together, try making another battery. If I can make bombs, I can make a battery, right?
...Right?
Little red light's flashing. Guess that means I...t...of....ttery...ACK...out."

*rb* Hey nack? I'm Dynamite Dagger more people call me DeDe though. So welcome to the radio world of killjoys. Um I'm at school right now and IA might kill me but if you can track this broadcast and find us that's fine. Cause I don't remember where I am.....I'm gonna ask Sugar that. But ohnand if you can bring me a snake or Korse's head either is fine. (I want the snake more). H and if you find a partially dead exterminator named Bill oor Bob or something with his hand tied to a tree just dump him in the lake nearby. Alright I got to go. Bye! ~DeDe

*rb Nack* Your message came through loud and clear, Nack. Name's Funhouse Gear, and I'm about to go hit up a BLI supply truck with some fellow motor babies, so if you want us to pick you up just send your coordinates or describe landmarks or some such. We've got plenty of food and several good safehouses. Always willing to help out a killjoy. Just say the word.
Gear out.

at...ng...mn...rk!...
........ing? You working? Ah! It's working. Knew I could do it if I just messed around a bit. Killed a few braincells, but who cares?
So who all's out there, talkin' to me? Uh...Your names and messages kinda got broken up. Runnin' on reserve power when you transmitted, so...y'know. Just hearin' about 60% of what you said, couldn't respond or nothin'. Uh...I heard a Dede and a...A Gear? Funhouse Gear. Good to hear I'm not alone anymore!
Hittin' up big targets is really my style. Gotta get somethin' to take out and sell, gotta get more craft supplies. Gotta blow somethin' skyward, too.
I know it took me a while, maybe about an hour or so, to make this raggedy battery. So. You still gonna hit up that truck? Or have I missed out on all the fun with the shiny new people in my life? If you want coordinates, well...Look for the huge rock, cactus to the right, broken Drac mask to the left. Uh. Wherever that is. Got bright orange hair, so I shouldn't be easy to miss.
I hope.
Don't leave me out here by myself again.
Think I got this radio back up and goin'. Should last for a while. If you get this, send back! Love to hear from people. Always makes me feel more alive. Helps the demolition urge, too. Hope to hear from you! And don't worry, Dede. I'll look out for that snake for you.
NACK.

*radios* Hello Nack. This is Retro Rebel here. I'm with Funhouse. Don't worry, there's still plenty of fun in store. I'm sure we can also pick up your coordinates through your radio... might want to fix that later. One our way now! Good luck, you'll be needing it. Retro Out.

*rb Nack*
I got your message, Nack. The other Killjoys can help you find a place to stay. I heard Funhouse Gear is raiding a truck? That sounds fun, heehee~.
Tell me what happens, would you please? I'd love to add it to my report.
Stellar out~!

*radio* Oh boy, oh boy! I have so very many people radioing me! Thanks a bunch, guys! Makin' me feel all warm inside.
The more we talk about this truck, the more I wanna go. I'll be waitin' for you guys. Haven't really gone out anywhere in years, so you'll have to put up with my bad social skills. Just me 'n my craft supplies here at home. Or whatever you call this place. I'll catch you soon then, Retro Rebel. Or, really, you'll catch me. I'm not really goin' anywhere until I see something that doesn't look like desert or death. So. If you look like desert or death, that'll be pretty awkward. Gonna assume you don't, though. So then I'm lookin' forward to it.
Oh! What's this? Stellar's the name? I'll do my best to get info to you. Not that I really know much about tech, but I'm sure I can figure somethin' out. Or...uh...someone can show me. Might be safer. But yeah. I'll get you some info! It'll be free, too. How d'you like that?
Dede, you're in a whole messa stuff, aren't you? Well, when you get that shop a' yours, let me know. I've been tryin' to sell things for years, but it's kinda hard when you don't have anyone around you. Sand makes a lousy customer. I got a bunch of stuff that I...uh...craft. Or stuff I find. Like this radio!
...Which Retro said can track me.
I suddenly feel less safe. Come quickly!
NACK.

*radio*
That's sweet of you, NACK. If I had to pay for info, I'm afraid I'd do without. There's not much to bargain with, where I am.
Don't worry about being tracked; Retro will take care of you, I'm sure.
Remember, kids: play nice, heehee~!.
Stellar.

No don't play nice. Play dirty with bombs AND daggers! Oh and of course duct tape, you can do anything without duct tape. WELCOME TO DEDE'S SHOW! Why hello yall killjoys. Heat up your dagger to a warm enough to light your dynamite. Take your enemy and knock him out. Then take a stick of dynamite and tape it to his back. Then take the heated dagger and light your dynamite. Then run!
So fighting show and store. I love it. U if you can stop by the school. I don't want to clean toilets just yet...

*radioing DD*
Surely there's a less dangerous and more practical way to handle an enemy.
If you can blow their head to pieces, why not put a bullet in it, instead?
Hahaha....Children...
Stellar, over and out.

*A dusty Trans Am approaches the tall cactus. It stops and I climb out of the vehicle. I look across the roof of the car and lean on it, resting my chin on my folded arms. I hold out a hand to the new bright orange haired killjoy.* Nack right? Nice to meet you. Retro Rebel at your service.

*Nack had been sitting at the base of the rock, slightly hiding behind the side he thought the others would show up at. She looks up now at the shiny car and the first person he's seen for seven years*
Y-you're...
*throat catches, but Nack clears it*
R-re...you're real!
*A huge smile breaks out on her face*
You're a real person! Not a computer!

*I laugh and grin. I pinch myself on my arm.* Well what do you know? I'm a real boy!... err, girl. Nice, uh, hangout. *I honestly can't tell if it's a boy or a girl. The hair could work for either. I'm trying not to stare him down too much.*

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
