The Lounge is back in business.. sort of

[agentafter]

"Atleast the place keeps the guy busy.." *Agent walked inside, greeted by killjoys and friends, some drifters that had found refuge in the lounge sat with some food and drink, some were nursing injuries or effects of radiation overdose. Agent looked toward a man at the end of the bar helping with the newcomers..* "Hay holeshot, make sure they get a med shower for thoes burns.." *looking toward thoes suffering radiation* "just remember, if you get clean here and you wanna stay, make sure you talk to 'blast' she'll get you set up with a job while you're here." *he sat behind the bar and pulled out a big leather bound book* "so, what have you been up to black?"

[Blackout]

Running, what else? After my last stint in Battery, I've just been moving around a lot, trying not to get caught and trying to keep the demon in my head from reemerging. She's been pretty quiet though, I think going out into the No Man's Land for a bit might have smothered her for the time being. Word of advice, never go out there unless you have damn good reason to. *she shuddered slightly as she remembered some of the beasts she saw out there. She took a seat at the bar.* What about you?

[agentafter]

*He opens up the book, and unfolds a map of battery city and the zones, marked all over where safe houses, bli towers. And warehouses, the KJ schools, supply locations, and other sorts of locations.* "iv been remapping the zones.. all our places and their places that I can find." *he pointed to a more than familiar location* "Lucky strikes has been retaken and restored to a training facility and safehouse" *He pointed to a few different spots on the map* "these are the Com stations and radio stations we've set up since the restart of the illuminati lounge".. *he pulled out a smaller leather book and opened it near the end, then started marking on the map* "and here... is our new supply warehouse.. finaly complete and stocked.. completely hidden and undetectable." *Agent closed the small book and slid it back into his pocket*. "Now our safe houses have stores from now until the BLind fall.". *Agent sat back and smiled* this has been my mission since I've returned.. and the madness has barely come back without being able to control it.. now.. *Agent unstrapped his sword* .."now I'm a master of my own mind again"

[Blackout]

Wow, you've certainly been busy. I gotta say, I'm really impressed. *she smiled as she looked over all the spots he mentioned on the map. She sighed softly as she took off her mask for a minute.* I've been getting so tired of running lately. It'd be nice to have a purpose again and stay in the same place for more than 24 hours. Any chance you could use an extra gun hand around here?

[agentafter]

"There is always room for killjoy elites at the illuminati lounge" *Agent reaches under the bar and grabs a key.. tossing it onto the bar* "it's time to show you the headquarters.... ADRENALIN BOMB!..can we have a tour?!"

[adrenalinebomb]

Adrenaline was busy hammering away at the supports what would be the new observatory deck/ upstairs quarters when he heard agent yell for him, he quickly switched his hammer back to a hand and scrambled to get up banging his head in the process. He stumbled to the top of the stairs still without his balance, he ended up missing a step and started tumbling down yelling and causing a racket the while way down. As he hit the bottom he laid there for a second until he realized everyone had stopped to stare.

"Has anyone seen my hat??? Should have come down before me?"

He smiled a toothy grin at agent as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"Also, my pipe seems to be missing..my screws arent lose today,they have plum fallen out I'm afraid!"

He chuckled and remembered that agent had also yelled something about a tour.

"As soon as I have my hat and pipe we will set out! Post haste!"

[Blackout]

Thanks Agent, I appreciate it. *She looked up at the commotion and watched as Adrenaline tumbled the stairs.She took the key from the bar and got up to walk over and help Adrenaline to his feet.* I got your pipe here, as for your hat, I'm sure it's around here somewhere.

[agentafter]

"Bomb you always find a way to make an entrance" *Agent reached with his sheathed sword up to the mannequin head above the bar holding bombs hat.. with a flick the hat was thrown across the bar to the stairs where bomb was standing* "alonzè!"

[adrenalinebomb]

Adrenaline took his pipe and picked up his hat from the stairs.

"Indeed! Let us go then!"

Adrenaline led them both to the stairs leading to the lower levels and starting heading down, repacking his pipe and lighting it as they started to descend.

"Watch your heads" Adrenaline said as he ducked under a pipe that had been placed just a little to low at the bottom of the stairs.

As they started walking down the hallway light bars where bolted into the tops of the walls, they gave off an odd orange almost neon light.

"These lights are made by reusing the radiation outside and melding it with some other elements, in other words, don't shoot your guns down here" Adrenaline smirked and led them to the first room.

"These are the dorms, to the left is males, right is female, middle is co-ed! You know..for those that give no fucks!...or do..hmmm. Moving along!"

"Across the hall here is the store room! We have enough food and ammo to feed and supply an army, also the industrial food dehydrator is in there, have to make all the food last afterall. Anyways, come along!"

They continued down the hall for a few more feet before you could hear a soft bzzzz zap sound echoing down the halls.

"Ahhh! We are coming up to one of my favorite rooms! It has my tesla inspired generator inside! Gives this place all the power we need and then some!"

They walked into the room and could see two large tesla towers zapping green electricity into a large sphirical module that was spinning rapidly over what appeared to be batteries.

"Don't ask me how it works! I imagined it in a dream, built it over night, then I had a little madness episode and forgot how I built it!"

They walked back out and ended up facing a large steel vault looking door.

"That's the lockup...sometimes I put myself in there! Quietest place to think! Keeps you all safe from me too! Bwahahaha. Anyways, tours almost done, let's keep moving!"

They turned down the corridor and kept walking.

[Blackout]

I gotta hand it to you, this place is pretty damn impressive. You certainly upgraded the place since the last time I was here. *She made a mental note to stop by the storeroom later to stock up on batteries for her gun and grab some food as she hurried to keep up with Adrenaline.* Any chance you have some bullets stocked in there? Been hard to come by those lately and I could use some for my revolver. Old fashioned, I know, but I like to use it for special occasions.

[adrenalinebomb]

Adrenaline smiled and replied

"Yes! Lots of improvements, courtesy of my mind and agents hard work and ability to motivate the others!"

"As far as bullets...I've been working on something you should enjoy, follow me and we should get to that room shortly"

Adrenaline started to walk down the hallways pointing out the various pipes and wiring along the way explaining where each one went and what it was for. He stopped in front of a row of doors about two feet apart about ten doors on each side of the hallway.

"These are for permanent resents or our frequent flyers, a place a little homier for everyone, the one behind me is agents office and my gun lab is next to it, feel free to grab a key for one from agent later and do what you wish with it, no explosions or gunfire though please. Remember the lights!"

Adrenaline winked at them both and kept walking.

"Also, if any of your weapons need cleaning or repair let me know! I also make bullets in that room for the less conventional guns, turns out radioactive sand and some other ingredients make a great replacement for gunpowder! Come by later and I'll make you some!"

Adrenaline walked until they reached two sets of giant doors.

"On the left we have our meeting and strategy room and on the right is the weapons vault, again stocked to the gills in case of emergency, if any of your weapons are beyond repair feel free to replace it here, you will have to have agent come with you though as he keeps it locked and won't let me in there anymore..."

Adrenaline looked down at the ground making circles with his foot almost like a scolded child.

"Alas! That is the tour! Make yourself at home and welcome! Anything I'm forgetting agent?"

[agentafter]

*Agent pulled a hidden leaver* "probably good to show her the quick exits" *a ramp dropped from the top of the tunnel* "there's one about every hundred yards.. they lead out to one of ten different fox holes around the lands.." *Agent opened the door to his office and went in, but came out a few seconds later with a small leather book like his.* "in here is a map of the facility, codes to access the stores, weapons room, and other areas that are marked.. I trust you so this book holds the codes for most areas except for resident rooms and personal offices"

[Blackout]

*She did her best to keep track of all the information the Adrenaline was giving her, so she was grateful when Agent handed her the book with the map and codes.* I'll make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. *She said as she took the little book and tucked it into her bag for now.* Thanks for the tour guys, and thank you again for welcoming me in here. It feels nice knowing that I don't have to constantly look over my shoulder and run to another hiding place tomorrow. My services as a killjoy are forever at your disposal.

[agentafter]

"Hell, it's the least I can do after you saved my ass at that walmart a few years ago" *agent closed the door and locked it* "Hay bomb.. I was gonna see if you could take a look at my bike, I have an idea for an upgrade, and the damn alternative fuel valve is burning dirty again.. also I'd like to see what you have on my rifle if you have time, you can come along too and check out the weapon lab if you want black"

[adrenalinebomb]

Adrenaline looked at agent and cracked a giant toothy grin.

"Tinkering? Fixing? You just made my day! Bring your bike to my shed and meet me in the there! If you want bring the guns and I'll grab my tools and take them to the shed also!"

With that adrenaline switched his hand to his fork raised it in front of him and street running down the hall towards the bar stairs almost like he was following the fork.
