*I'm relieved to see that Red looks alright, and when Moon appears with Nack I decide it's time to get started*
Everyone here? Good. Okay, so as I'm sure most of you are aware, we're out of food and we've been in one place for too long. Mouse has suggested a Battery City trash dump in Zone One, and Poison offered his Zone 2 safehouse. The pros are that both places are known to us, and if the food party was small, it would be relatively easy to raid the dump. The cons are that the first two Zones are very close to the city itself, which is likely in a state of heightened alert after our break-in. We also don't want to bring Cat, Red, or Max too close, like Poison said earlier.
My suggestion is that we focus on getting the food first, leaving some of the group here at the theater, and then after that we can figure out what safehouse we'll move to. Making a new one is always a possibility as well. Opinions and suggestions?

*I raise my hand* Arson, what about raiding a supply truck and then heading to the higher-numbered zones? We could pick the rest of the group up on the way. And I'm all for making a new safehouse. We don't know which one's BLI knows about, but they can't know about a safehouse that doesn't exist yet.

I think a supply truck might be too much of a smack to the face to Bli. Although I am one for loving smacking them in the face, we don't need the attention right now. We don't need a drac patrol coming in looking for us. If its only one or two vans heading out of the zones then sure but not an entire supply rig.
I think there may be a few safe houses we can use in Zone 6 but I'm not sure. Someone is going to have to go out there and check and have it ready for when we get back, unless we find the safe house first then raid.
Any other suggestions? And what do you mean by... 'the rest of the group' ?
We're low on supplies and there is no guarantee how many we'll get on this run. Besides... we have a pretty loud group here... there are...
*I look around and count the bodies out.. cat...blaze...mouse...arson... that moonlight girl... sarah... red, max, gear, jump, and pb... *
that makes twelve total including me.

"Wait... isn't Zone 6 like... insanely radioactive still?" *I'm not entirely sure, so I speak really slowly and uncertainly, but I think I remember something... a bomb... a nuclear one, fallling on Zone 6 and making it uninhabitable... wherever Zone 6 was, that is. I was just parroting what I'd heard someone say... what I thought I had heard someone say... in a dream, perhaps, or a far away memory... It makes my head hurt to just think about it, and I promptly squeeze my eyes shut and bury my face into Blaze's shoulder.*
*I stroke Cat's hair, thinking that I need to get her some blue dye somehow. Blonde just doesn't suit her, and since the people at BL/Ind usually bleach all prisioner's hair...*
"That was a very long time ago, Cat. Zone 6 is inhabitable... at least for us. The Citizens are much too scared of it to go anywhere near... but I do agree with you, Poison. We're too many, and though there is strength in numbers during a battle, there is also weakness when you need to hide."
"Well, I can accomodate four comfortably... six if we squeeze a bit... and I think they know that we'll try to get as far away from the city as possible. Staying near them can be a good strategy; we'll be hiding right under their noses."
*I smile at my strategy, but I'm secretly hoping they'll say no. Having a number makes my claustrophobia rise; there's too many of us, and I miss the solitude of my little basement.*

Thirteen, with Nack, *I add.* I agree with Poison, if we took down a supply truck we'd have to make sure word didn't get back to the city, which would mean killing the dracs. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather not kill four or five people just for some food.
*One glance at Red when Mouse mentions hiding under BLI's nose is enough to confirm that she's not on board with that plan* Thanks for the offer, Mouse, but I don't think we'll take you up on that... I don't speak for everyone, though.
I say we split up; one group goes for the dump by the city, one goes to find a safehouse. Either one can scavenge as they go, obviously. We'll only want a few killjoys in each group, so we can leave some people here until a new safehouse location can be confirmed. There are plenty of good hiding spots here in case of a raid. We can meet up via transmission, or if some of us want to go separate ways, that works too.

*I look at PB to confirm and then turn back to Gear* Sound good to us. We'll stick together this time and go on one of the missions, as long as we get back together again *I add, thinking of my patients*

*I shift uncomfortably, the floor a little hard on my healing legs. I look around at the killjoys. They all look determined and practical at the moment, reminding me a little of BLI meeting. Of course, those were more one-sided. Here everyone has a chance to put in their opinion. I have a sneeking suspicion that I am in the group that is going to stay*

All right, if everyone's agreed, let's do that. I'm assuming you'll want to go towards the city, Mouse, and Poison too if you want to stop by the base for anything. I have something I need to take care of in the lower Zones as well, won't take long at all, so I'll join that group too. *I look around the group, counting everyone up again*
Red's staying, obviously, so I'd guess Max is as well. *I get a short nod from him and move on* Blaze, do you think Cat is up for a trip? We need a couple killjoys to stay here and keep everyone safe, if not. And what about the rest of you?
(Just a heads up, everyone can feel free to keep the thread moving on your own. I recommend starting new threads for the food raid and the safehouse hunt, and staying on this one for the theater group.
I'll be on infrequently for at least the next few days. Lots of schoolwork and work-work.)

the splitting is a good plan....
*I check on my raygun and the batteries to make sure they're still in my holster* I'm all ready now!

*I don't particularly like the idea of splitting teams with Arson, but as no one's spoken up for the safehouse hunting group, I guess I will.* I'll go for the safehouses, with whoever'd like to join me. Which group did you say you were with, Moon?

*It irks me a little bit that Arson is not talking directly to me. I am amnesic, not stupid. Still, I say nothing, merely looking at Blaze to see what he will say.*
*I briefly consider putting Cat back in the action, with a gun in hand, to get her back into the killjoy mood; however, that is quickly overpowered by my fear of losing her.*
"I think... I think we'll pass this one, Arson. I'm gonna take Cat places around the zones, places we visited before, try and jog her memory... We could be in the safehouse hunting group, if we're required..."
"Well, I'm going back to my place... I need to check on it and make sure it's still standing. I can bring back a few supplies here, though, if anyone's staying."

*I contemplate for a second, looking at Jump to confirm, before I answer* Thanks, Moon, but the lower zones are more dangerous, so they'll need more backup. A small group looking for a new safe house can be more sneaky as well, I think. Sound good?

I think you're fine going on your own, Blaze. Good luck to both of you. *I nod to Cat as well, then turn to the others* That's that, then. Let's head out - Poison, Sarah, Mouse, the twins, and myself can take the van. I know you love your car, Poison, but we need the space. Is your car the only other vehicle? Gear and Moon will need one as well. And then Nack, Red, and Max will stay here...
*I trail off, realizing Nack will be the only killjoy. Max is still off by the wall and I don't know if he'd listen to me anyway, so I look over at Red, not sure how to say it without sounding rude* Red, you'll - stay out of trouble, right? And make sure he does too? *I barely nod towards Max*

*I nod, not sure what Arson's getting at, although Arson has to know that there's no way I can stop Max- My thought process stops when I realize that, maybe, I am the only one who can convince Max to do or not do something (other than by brute force). It is an odd feeling and feels a bit disjointed from the Max I see some of the time... I blink the thought away and nod again, putting a hand on her arm. No killjoy would get hurt by Max on my watch*

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