The Lotion In The Basket

[Moonlight Revenge]

*I smile* nice to meet you, Electric... *I get distracted when Gear enters* Oh! Here's Gear! *I turn my head towards Gear* I truly apologize for leaving you inside and going outside of the house without saying anything. I should have told you because you know... You're hurt and it will be kind of painful to move around quickly

[Funhouse Gear]

*I wave Moon off* It's not a problem, I've had worse. I was just about to check the attic and thought you were within shouting range, that's all.

[Max Griffiths]

*When I've got the basic layout of the town down and I'm confident there's no one else in the area, I make my way back to the house. The person on the bike was a killjoy after all, apparently, and the others are crowding around the porch. I sit down across the street, keeping my distance while they talk. I'm a bit surprised to see the medic letting Red down off his back, apparently having carried her out to meet the newcomer, but she looks fascinated by the new killjoy and the bike and I'm glad to see she's enjoying herself.*

[Electric Revenge]

*I smile as Moon and Gear introduce themselves. I'm surprised at the size of the group, not expecting to see this many Killjoys together. I'm a bit overwhelmed; I haven't been with this many people since I left my previous group back in Arizona.*

*I find myself studying the outside of the farmhouse...well, at least the porch. I'm trying to remember names with faces as everyone becomes reacquainted. As I'm placing names with faces, my eyes land on a white clad figure sitting across the street, watching us. I nudge Arson as that unsettling feeling comes back.*

Who's that?

[Arson Anthem]

Hm? *I glance over, and see Max across the street.* Oh, him. Don't worry, he's - well, he's not really with us, but he's with Red and Red's with us. He watches out for her. You don't have to worry about him, but he is a bit dangerous.

*Gear raises his eyebrows at that, and I amend my statement* Okay, so he's very dangerous. But he keeps himself to himself as long as he doesn't think Red's in danger. He's not technically a drac any more.

[Electric Revenge]

What do you mean, "technically /not/ a drac?" *I can see the distrust in Gear's eyes as Arson is explaining.*

[Poison Shot]

*I walk back around, I lost track of where the others are and see them off by the porch, relaxing in the shade*

You're not hot, are you. *I look up at him*

No. I'm not. And Neither are you, right?
Nope. Nothing.
Was afraid of that... Let's join the others.
Eye Eye Captain.

*Nali climbs her way up onto Sarah's shoulders and we walk over to the rest of the group*

[Arson Anthem]

He's - *I trail off, not sure how to explain it* Here, Red knows better than I do. Would you mind explaining? *The question is directed at Red, who I know probably has her notebook at hand*

[redhavoc]

*I realize Arson wants me to answer and I take my time taking out the notebook and pen, suddenly shy. I don't know exactly what to say and think a second before I write:

'Max and I were agents at BLI. When I was a new agent I was assigned to him and he was the only one to ever make me feel worth anything at BLI. We've been though alot, he's like family'.

*I hand her the book and look over at Max, suddenly wishing he was over here, smiling and meeting Electric with the rest... but that's not Max's way. I vow to talk to him by the end of the day, as soon as I can*

[Electric Revenge]

*I look at the notebook in my hand, reading what Red wrote. I'm not quite sure how to digest the words I'm reading. I've come across reformed Killjoys before, but Red looked too sweet to be a Draculoid.*

Oh. *I hand the notebook back to Red.* Well, I guess I'll have to introduce myself to him, eventually. *I look back across the street, seeing Max watch the group of us on the patio. He must have a million stories to tell, but from the way his body language is, I'm sure it'll take some time before he'll talk to me at all.*

[Poison Shot]

*I pass by the new girl while tossing my bag into the house* I wouldn't count too much on him responding.

Name's Poison, Poison Shot. Most just call me poison, this is my sister Sarah, and our little friend Nali the fox.

[[Sorry! Posted on the wrong account... here's the correct post]]

*Everyone's focused on Max, but I am more concerned with Electric at the moment* Come on, let's go inside and get you some food and water, then I can look at your wounds. I've had to rebuild my medkit from scratch, but it's pretty decent again.

*I smile at her* Don't worry, I'm told I have a good bedside manner. And, of course, you have the doc's confidence. Everyone does that I treat.

[Electric Revenge]

[That's okay. Just flipped my post around, hope I didn't mess anything up!]

Name's Electric Revenge, but you can just call me Electric. What a cute fox you have!

*I turn towards Jump.* All right, doc. I could go for some actual food right about now. Energy bars aren't cutting it right now. *I follow PB inside. Immediately I feel better as the coolness of the house reaches my skin.*

[Funhouse Gear]

*I step back when Jump and Electric come in, making room for them in the hall.* There's one bedroom on the first floor if you want privacy. And then I suppose we should start divvying up sleeping quarters and watches?

[Arson Anthem]

I'll take first watch, *I volunteer.* The sun'll be going down in an hour or so, and someone can relieve me around ten. Just leave me somewhere to sleep! *I sit down on the porch, crosslegged with my back against the wall of the house. I know Max is keeping watch as well, but I feel better knowing a killjoy's on duty too - partly for safety's sake, but mostly because I don't know if he'd leave again without waking someone else.*
