But I'll Take What I Want

[Funhouse Gear]

Sounds rough... *I'm quiet for a moment, taking it in. So many of us seem to have tragic back-stories, I almost feel out of place* I'm from the city, myself. My family was in the shelters during the wars and went right along with Better Living when they started spreading. I never cared for the pills, so I took about a year to get myself off them. I met Arson when she spent some time undercover stirring up trouble in B/C, and ended up leaving with her.
It's not often we get this many killjoys in one place, but it's nice to see some new faces, share news, and all that. It's a pity it can't stay like this, though. Too dangerous to have such a large group.

~I nod slightly~ It's good you got out, yeah? And yes... you're right. I'm still not used to having so many people around me. ~I shake my head slightly, falling silent again~

[Bullet Ringer]

*I walk back inside and I'm suprised by the silence, well it has been a long day after all. I walk through the living room slowly trying not to wake whoever is sleeping and find Blackie falling asleep in a chair. I walk over to her and kneel down, I keep my voice low when I speak.* Hey sleepy head, I was thinking we should radio Nox and the guys, tell them we're okay and stuff. *She goes to stand up and I lightly push her back down.* Stay and sleep, I just need your radio and I'll contact them. *I smile and take her radio, trying to remember what happend to mine.*

[Funhouse Gear]

Yeah, it is. It can be kind of hard to deal with the killjoys who think it's all black and white, though. They talk about the dracs like they're monsters, and the civvies like they're sheep. It's not like that at all. Better Living makes a lot of sense... *I pause, then add* if you don't really think about it, anyway.
*I get back to my feet, brushing the dust off my jeans* I'm going to do a loop around the area, make sure everything's in order. I'll see you around. And don't stay out here alone all night, okay? Take advantage of the company while you have the chance.

*I yawn slightly when I give Bullet the radio* alright, just tune it to channel 107 i think. that should be the one that goes to the bases.

[Glass~Vendetta]

*Everything is starting to wind down and I worry about the amount of space I have. I begin to clean up and wash the dishes, but I hear a groan from the living room. I turn the water off and tiptoe in to see Blackie in a fitful sleep on a chair. I gently shake her awake.* Blackie, doll, there's bedrooms upstairs. That chair is an awful place to sleep, I know from experience.

*I laugh and crouch down beside her. A few others are still roaming around sleepily.* All of you, go congregate and figure out the sleeping arrangements for yourselves. There's plenty of room. And if there aren't enough rooms or beds, come see me please. I just want to say that the door that has a brass doorknob tied with a ribbon is OFF LIMITS. *I'm sure there won't be enough rooms. Arson and Red have one, Jump and PB will probably share, and then my room is off limits thanks to Renegade.....That leaves three rooms, two large hall closets, and the attic. I'll sleep down here, as I have some thinking to do and probably won't sleep anyway.*

[Blackout]

*I groan slightly when I'm woken again by Glass* you sure? im perfectly fine down here, i've slept outside under a bush and in a tree before, so this is fine for me.

[Bullet Ringer]

*I'm outside with the radio and clip it to my belt after the transmission, I stand for a bit going into a world of my own when I see Gear walking around.* Evening, what brings you out here? *I shiver a little when a cold wind blows my way*

[Glass~Vendetta]

*I nod firmly.* As long as you're under my roof, I think it's safe to say you won't need to sleep under a bush or in trees. You better hurry and haggle for a bed up there. They'll be going fast.

*I see a couple more reluctant people.* All of you! Get your butts up there. If there isn't enough room, come get me. *I walk back into the kitchen and start the water up again, rinsing the plates. The water was valuable so I kept it in moderation and whipped through each dish fairly quickly.*

[Funhouse Gear]

Hey. *I nod to Bullet and head over* Just doing the rounds, about to head back in and get some sleep. Probably taking off in the morning. What about you?

[Blackout]

*I sigh and stand up* alright Glass. and thank you for letting Bullet and I stay. *I walk up the stairs and walk past the room with the brass knob and ribbon. I go to the next room and collapse onto the bed. im asleep the second my head hits the pillow*

[Cynical Paranoia]

~I nod as he leaves, going back to my silence and staring up at the stars.~

[Glass~Vendetta]

*I smile and watched her ascend the stairs. I hear a door close and the creak of the bed. I nod to myself and finish washing up. As I start to put things away I hear something....odd. I walk as quietly as I can to the back door and peek out the window. Nothing. I see nothing. But I swear I heard something sort of mechanical!* It's nothing, Glass. Go to sleep.

[Bullet Ringer]

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I guess me and Blackout will be leaving tomorrow aswell... Do you guys have a night watch? 'Cause if so I'll glady take that position, I don't mind I prefer night time anyway. *I laugh to myself not actually feeling tierd which is quite wierd considering what we've done in the past 24 hours.*

[Funhouse Gear]

I haven't talked to anyone about it, but feel free. Just make sure you wake someone if you get tired. *We start walking slowly back towards the house, and I pause when I remember Cyn* Oh, and Twisted's friend is still out here, so if you hear her moving around or something, don't shoot.
