*I step out to the porch when I hear the motor cut off, and pause in the doorway to take stock of where everyone is. Max is out of sight but I don't worry about it; it's not like he'll turn us in, and if anything, people are probably more comfortable without him nearby.* Anyone want to come with me to see who our visitor is?

*PB stands up and, checking his gun before putting it back in the holster. Red raises her hand and I immediately begin protesting. Arson suggest that perhaps Red can go if she is carried. I roll my eyes, but she actually considers it for a second, then nods and points to her back*
You want to ride piggy-back, Red? Ok fine...
*PB grins and helps Red up. She's light enough that she's easy to carry and this way I'll get to meet the killjoy myself. Perhaps this will be fun afterall.*
All aboard? Ok, let's go!

*I call back to the others to let them know where we're headed, and then the four of us start off down the road. It doesn't take long before the desert comes into view ahead, though with the sun beating down it's uncomfortably hot almost immediately. I shade my eyes when I see a figure in the distance with what looks like a motorbike, and I wave an arm over my head. Neither figure nor bike is white, and I've yet to see a solitary drac wandering the desert without gas, so it's probably the killjoy Gear told us about*

*I roll my bike towards town, stopping once to take off my scratched helmet, as I'm sweating profusely underneath it. My body is getting achy and sore, no doubt that I've probably reopened a few wounds with all the moving around I'm doing.*
*I look up to see a group ahead of me. Three are walking towards me, while the fourth is apparently getting a piggy-back ride. The one giving the piggy-back ride waves their arm over their head. I return the gesture as I walk towards the group.*
Hey, down there!

Hello! Electric, right? *The killjoy has strikingly purple hair, and looks worn out but cautiously friendly. I nod back down the street when we meet up, indicating the direction of the safehouse* Mind if we walk while we share introductions? The sooner we get back the sooner we can get you some water. I'm Arson, by the way, and this is Red. She doesn't talk, so don't be offended if she doesn't say hi. Gear's with the rest of the group, back at the house.
*I give the twins a chance to introduce themselves, knowing Jump's going to be preoccupied with Electric's injuries soon enough*

*I watch the twins, Red, and Arson start off down the street, then go back down the hall and start trying doors. There's a front room with a fireplace off the hall to the left, and a dining room that connect to the kitchen opposite that. The back bedroom downstairs still has a mattress, as do two of the three on the second floor. The attic is accessed by a drop-down ladder, and when I can't get it open on the first try I call out for Moon, wherever she is. I'd seen her exploring on the first floor, but lost track of her since then* Hey, Moon! Want to help with this?

*I smile at Electric as we start to head back* I'm Petroleum Blaster, but all my friends call me PB. I do a lot of the cooking, so if you have any requests or dietary constraints, come to me. My bro is Jumpstart. I see you two have an affinity for purple hair... hey, do you want me to get that?
*I notice Electric is having a hard time pushing her bike, so I point to it, offering to take it from her. I wonder how injured she really is...*

*I look curiously at the new killjoy from my elevated position. Dyed hair, bright clothing, recently hurt from a fight or being out in the zones too long... she has all the markings of a typical killjoy, but what I am really interested in is her bike. Looks fun*

*I let PB take my bike as we walk down the street.* Thanks, I really appreciate it. *I give myself the opportunity to stretch before we continue walking. I can feel my shirt tug at the raw sores all over my body. I also can't help but unconsciously place my hands on the hilts of my katanas and my blaster. The thing in white still has me a bit unsettled.*
*I see the killjoy on Arson's back, Red I believe, watch as PB walks my bike.* I see you like my bike there. Would you like me to give you a ride once we fuel it up?

*I nod 'yes' as enthusiastically as I can without falling off Jump. I miss motorcycles. There was a whole month-long training for motorcycles at BLI. Maybe I could find my own when I'm stronger... I see Jump watching Electric and I realize he's already in 'doctor-mode'. He's definitely not as fun when he gets that way*

*I finish setting up the last blocker and look out the crowd*
Oooi! Arson. Blockers are set! We're good!
*Off still a whiles away I see arson and them walking thew new girl back*
Interesting.
*nali jumps onto my shoulders and rubs her nose against my cheek*
What do you make of this Nali? hm? I don't know either. Be nice.

*I have to chuckle at Red's enthusiasm. She's so adorable.* Alright, alright! Once I get this baby gassed back up maybe I can take you for a spin. As long as it's okay with everyone else?
*I look around at the group, making sure it's okay. I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable with the way Jump is staring at me. It's like he's studying me. But at this point, I just want to get to the safe house and heal up.*

*after I finish walking around the house, I move to the porch and while looking around I notice that PB, Jump, Arson and Red are walking back with the new killjoy* it's great to meet new killjoys around the Zones.... Specially the outer ones

*I smile and shrug* It'll depend on doctor's orders. But personally, I think it'd be okay so long as she can sit in front of you, rather than having to hold on.
*I give Poison a thumbs up when I hear his shout, and I'm relieved to regain the shade of the porch as we get up to the house* Hey, Moon. This is Electric. Electric, Moon. Do you know where Gear is?

Moon? Anyone? *I don't get a reply, but with a bit more effort I manage to force the trapdoor open, and the wooden ladder folds down amid a shower of dust. When I hear shouts over the sound of my coughing I move to one of the bedrooms against the front wall, and look down to see Arson's group returning with a new killjoy. Leaving the ladder where it is, I take the stairs two at a time and get to the front door in time to hear Arson's question* Here! I'm Gear. Nice to meet you in person, Electric.

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