But I'll Take What I Want

[Arson Anthem]

You're fine, Twisted. Mods sound great, can't wait to see what you've got. *I get off the window ledge and half-smile at Gear to let him know I'm not mad* But let's eat now, Glass says she's got something made up for us.

*I head into the kitchen and fill a bowl, taking it back out to eat.* Gear's idea of looking for a weak spot in the wall is as good as anything I can think of. From the scattered transmissions I've overheard it sounds like the Vipers did a lot of damage. We could always waylay some dracs and take their uniforms and cards, but that's a lot riskier. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
*I see Renegade looking a bit uncomfortable off to one side, and feel bad for not including him* How about you, Renegade? Got any brilliant city invasion plans?

[Renegade]

*As the others were discussing going into the city I just stood there silently. Deciding weather to help them out and gain their trust or just radio Watson and turn them in. It would be simple for us to get into the city with my clearance...I'm sure someone I know could help locate their friend...I'm snapped out of my thought when Arson speaks up* Umm...I'll go with you, but as invasion plans go I think it would be best to use the sewage tunnels to get into the city.

[Glass~Vendetta]

*I come out from the kitchen for a moment.* That's not a bad idea. If we can find a clear route through those tunnels, we can probably get in unnoticed. I mean, people don't like to hang around anything sewage related. Not even a drac. *I realize something. The pipes are probably very complicated. How exactly will we find our way to the right exit?* Well, it would be good not to go in blindly. we would need a map of the tunnels, if we wanted to find a specific place to exit. Is there any way we could get our hands on a map? *I figure there isn't, but no point in not asking.

[Renegade]

*Before Glass had finished speaking I was already unzipping a side pocket on my bag and going through the handful of crumpled papers* We may just be in luck, AH! Here you go. *I find the wrinkled blue paper and unfold it, I can't believe I'm actually helping them...I hold it up and hand it over to Glass.* It's a layout of the whole city, hideouts, warehouses, and even the tunnels. *I zip my bag up quickly after putting the rest of the papers away* I managed to grab it off one of the Dracs before escaping.

[Glass~Vendetta]

*My eyes almost bug our of my head when he pulls out the paper. How the..? That was perfect.* Oh my gosh, Renegade, you're a legend! This is perfect! *I scan the paper with my eyes, smiling. I already start planning and hug Renegade on impulse. I immediately back away. Okay, maybe I got a little over-excited. But to have maps like these is like having a walkthrough of how to win every plan you can think of.* To have intel like this is priceless. Thanks, man. This is awesome. *Just holding the paper makes me smile*

[Arson Anthem]

Wow... *I stand just behind Glass and look over her shoulder at the map* Brilliant! Through the sewers it is. This is really great, Renegade!

*I finish my food and quickly rinse out the bowl, setting it upside-down on the counter to dry* I'm going to pack, then, and we should get at least a few hours of sleep before we head out. Make sure you all bring a bit of food, some first aid, and whatnot. We don't want to weigh ourselves down, but if we get stuck in there for longer than we expected or someone gets hurt we don't want to be out of supplies. Thanks again, everyone, really. *I look over at Jump, trying to let him know I appreciate what he's doing*

[Renegade]

*I'm taken back when Glass hugs me but just laugh slightly* Ha you're welcome Glass. *I smile as she and Arson looked over it. Something inside me tells me I did the right thing giving them the map and I'm beginning to think that these guys are all right. I shake my head, Remember the mission Ren, don't get attached to them. Arson tells everyone we should pack, I'll do it later* Hey Glass is there anywhere I could get some shut eye around here?

[Glass~Vendetta]

Sure. The good rooms are upstairs. Come on. *I take Renegade upstairs and give him the second bedroom. I figure he'll be most comfortable there, even though usually I don't let people sleep in it. It's the only one with blackout curtains.* There's a bathroom in there, more sheets, blankets, and stuff in the bottom cabinet. Oh and, if you don't mind, could you stay out of the top cabinet? It's kinda personal. Thanks. * I smile warmly and leave him to his sleep. Everyone is planning and packing downstairs.*

[jumpstart]

*I finish my food and start packing medical supplies in the other room after insisting PB lay down for a while. I go over to the Renegade's Map, trying to think what medical supplies would be best for the sewer system. Arson comes up to look with me and I nod at her and try to smile. /Stay Positive/ I tell myself. I point to a symbol on the map* Look, Arson, they even have the wiring laid out. Do dracs really carry these around? I mean, who really has a map like this?

[Renegade]

*I nod and thank Glass as I close the door. I glance around the room and my first thought is to look in the top cabinet. Instead I laugh and shake my head and go to the bathroom. I turn the light on and look in the mirror. For a second I don't recognize myself....I look like one of them, a Killjoy. I wash my face and get blankets out. I go to my bag and pull out my radio, pondering weather to send a message to Watson. Ah he'll find out soon enough if I found 'em, with us going into the city and all. I look back at the cabinet Glass had mentioned and decide to open it. papers, nik naks and other stuff fill it but what catches my eyes are a couple pictures. I look them over for awhile before closing the cabinet. A feeling of guilt washes over me as I climb into bed. Do I really want to kill off these people? After all they have been overly kind and took me in....I drift off to sleep*

[twistedpoison]

*i come downstairs to see everyone paking theirt gear* oh, leaving now? whats the plan??

[twistedpoison]

*runs upstairs and comes back down with mt helmet full of weird looking gear* hey ummmmm glass right? do u mind checking these out for me?? i made a couple gadgets that might be useful

[Glass~Vendetta]

We're not leaving just this second. But I advise you to get your stuff together now. *I pick up my bag and run upstairs to get a few things from the hall closet. As I walk past, I hear gentle snoring. It's Renegade. I think back to what I said. Quiet as can be, I tiptoe in and check the door. The piece of clear tape is broken. I hang my head. Of course he looked, you shouldn't have said anything...oh well. I tiptoe back out and get the batteries and go back downstairs.*

[twistedpoison]

oh ok. takes out my raygun and a weird looking thing and connect it to my raygun. then i go back to the shop ive been using and grab the rest of my stuff *"k we'll need charge paks, dot sights, crush gauntlet ummmmmm" glances around and sees kris's blade.......picks it up and puts it in the magnetic holster on my chest and runs downstairs* hey glass.....wanna try this?

[Funhouse Gear]

I'll take first watch. *I pull a chair over to the window and sit down, waving at Arson to move* That means you sleep. No protests. I'll wake someone up when I start falling asleep.
