But I'll Take What I Want

[Arson Anthem]

*I nod* Yeah, if that's okay. *I see Red's eyes close halfway, although I don't get the impression that she's falling asleep. It's more just that she's so exhausted she doesn't even have the strength to keep her eyes open* I don't want to leave her here alone. *Or be alone myself, I think. And I don't want to talk to Gear, because I know he's going to bring Retro up.*

[jumpstart]

*I nod* Ok, hmmmm... hold on a sec.

*I go downstairs and grab a plate of food, some silverware, and two waters. I take it all up to Arson and set it down in front of her*

Here, get Red to eat as much as possible and you eat a bit too. It will help you heal. You both need water as well, doctors orders. Ok?

*Arson nods and I tell her that I'll be back to check on them both. I then go downstairs to look for my next patient*

[twistedpoison]

*leaning on a wall outside of the room where red, arson and jump are, making sure no one bothers them. i herd everything that happened*

[Bullet Ringer]

*Everyone seems to be doing something; there's cooking going on, people being looked after by a doctor, some are just randomly pacing, me I was just sitting in an armchair happy to be off my feet. I catch Glass when she walks past me.* Hey, thanks for letting us come here. *I give her a smile and quickly look around.* This is a really nice place you've got. It's amazing to think you can still find places like this apart from the normal boarded up and falling down.

[Blackout]

*i pace around inside the safeohouse, not wanting to stand still. I decide to take another of the pills to take care of the growing pain in my head*

[Renegade]

*I lean against the wall and cross my arms, watching everyone pace and they all look restless. I watch Jump come and go, up and down the stairs. As soon as we got here he immediately started to tend to Red. Glass had begun to make dinner and it smelled wonderful. Before anyone could notice I decide to slip out the front door. The van is parked just out of earshot o the house and I sit in the back, the doors wide open. I grab my radio from my bag* Watson, come in, this is Rena....I mean Marcus. Do you read me? *static then an all to familiar voice*

Marcus, my boy! I was starting to worry, I almost sent out a team to look for you. Do you have progress on the mission? *he sounds egar*

I'm in Zone 2, at a safe house with I believe ten other Killjoys. *He tries to interrupt me but I continue* I'm not giving you the exact location just yet. I need to get to know them more, before you send in units.

That's remarkable! Very well gain their trust like I said. Don't give into anything they do or say Marcus, for it will be just lies, don't trust them. If this mission is a success you'll have a bright future i the company!

* I end the transmission on that note, afraid if I talked longer someone might hear. So I just sit there, staring up at the moon and stars*

[Cynical Paranoia]

-finding nothing really to do, I head out to where I parked my bike and rifled through my provisions, taking stock of everything I had. I soon got bored of that and started to clean up the black metal, anything to keep me awake and thinking.-

[Funhouse Gear]

*I throw Jump a two fingered salute when I see him appear at the bottom of the stairs, and raise my voice a bit so he can hear me from where I'm sitting at the other side of the room* Making your rounds, doctor? I'm assuming Red's stable. You might have to do a bit of rounding up, though. We've spread out a bit. I think Renegade's outside, and he could use a once-over.

[jumpstart]

OK, thanks Gear!

*As I head to the door PB cuts me off with a plate of pancakes. I shake my head* Save them for me, PB, I still need to check up on people. *He nods, annoyed I'm not taking care of myself, but he understands*

*I head outside with my backpack and find Renegade, who is sitting in the back of the van and looking up at the stars. A radio is sitting nearby, but it is off* Hey, Renegade, mind if I look at your side again? We'll do something real for it this time!

[Renegade]

*I glance over at Jump as he comes outside. I had completely forgotten about my side until now, I smile slightly and give a fakish laugh* Ah sure thing Doc. It won't hurt right? *I grab my radio and put it in my bag, giving him room to set his bag down* Shouldn't we do this inside though? I mean there's more light in there.

[jumpstart]

*I grin* You're right, let's go inside. There are some side rooms in Glass' house, so you can have some privacy. And, uh, I can't promise that it won't hurt, I have to clean out the wound. Maybe pancakes would make you feel better?

*I lead Renegade up the stairs and to another room, having him sit down and take off his shirt. Looks like the cuts went pretty deep when he was thrown by the AI. I sigh *Renegade, how do you feel about stitches?

[Glass~Vendetta]

*Jump has moved on to treat the other wounds. Several people have started eating. I lean against the table, somewhat tired from our interesting day.* If anyone needs sleep, I have some rooms upstairs.....

[twistedpoison]

*I sit down next to the back door outside. I look at the clouds outside and the sunset, pretty amazing. I look down at my bloody clothing and realize that I'm pretty roughed up too.i had totally forgot about the robot hand knocking me out that i didn't think about it! Its a fairly large wound, but nothing i havent had before, just gotta take it easy and don't touch. I get up and walk back inside to get a new shirt, being careful now to hide my wound. I dint like getting help from people, makes me feel weak.*

[Bullet Ringer]

*I was starting to fall asleep in the chair when I'm giving some food, I thank them and start to eat. Once I've finished I start collecting up the empty plates and take them to the kitchen, out of habit I wash them up and leave them to dry. I make my way outside and light up a cigarette watching the night pass and listening to the sounds of the desert.*

[Renegade]

*I look at Jump as I sit down and sigh at the mention of stitches.* Do whatch gotta do Jump. I'll get some food after your finished though. *I watch him take at his tools and I see him styeralize a needle.*
