No, I definitly won. *I go down the stairs and start crossing the floor of the basement, weaving around the support pillars, vents, and assorted boxes* Watch your head - there are some low beams down here

*When I wake up I check on the kids, see they're still asleep, and go out to the kitchen to find something for breakfast. I don't see Gear or Angel; they're probably either asleep or outside somewhere.*

*I grab a can of Power Pup and a spoon, and start wandering around the house. It's huge; I find three bathrooms, nine bedrooms, several large closets, and what looks like it used to be a small library. I walk between the tall, empty shelves, wondering where the books ended up. Probably burned by BLI, although I'd like to think some kiljoys got them hidden in time.*

*I follow gear around the twists and turns and dodging boxes and beams* This place is so cool! Where are we going though? *screams a little as a spider lands on my shoulder and then I laugh* Cute little spider hahahaha

*I turn halfway around when Angel screams, and grin when I see the spider* We're going to the door I found last night. It's probably just an old boiler closet or something, but if we're lucky it'll be an emergency exit or bomb shelter or something. You never know what you'll find in an old safehouse! Almost there...
*I round another corner and walk up to the wall. I pull aside the shelves and hold out my arm towards the door* Ta-da!

*I find a few loose pages at the back of one of the shelves, and I try to figure out what book they would have come from. It was a fairy tale of some sort, but the pages are so faded and stained that it's hard to make out more than a few sentences. I give up, open one of the windows, and sit on the ledge looking out*

*I stand up quickly when I hear a motor in the distance. I leave the can of Power Pup and jump out the window, then circle around to the front of the house. A dusty red pickup is coming up the driveway and I take out my gun, but when I see the dogs in the bed of the truck I put it away and jog over, waving*
Disco! How the hell are you?!
*A woman with frizzy blond hair, bright pink glasses, and a sequin-covered jacket gets out of the truck grinning, and gives me a bone-crushing hug* I didn't expect to find you here, Arson! It's great to -
*Our conversation is interrupted by the two huge mastiffs that jump out of the back of the truck and bound over. I'm nearly knocked over by one of them and I laugh, pushing him off me* I see Twinkie and Pipsqueak are alive and well!
Indeed they are! But what are we doing standing around out here? Let's assume you've invited me in, shall we? *She grabs a duffle from the truck and we head inside, leaving the dogs in the shade outside with a bucket of water*

*I get Disco a glass of water, and we chat about our recent adventures in the Zones. After a bit, though, she tells me she can't stay long*
I've got a little girl to pick up in Zone 5, and I should get going.
You're still taking care of Zone kids, then?
Well, someone's got to. Keeps them out of harms way, whether their parents are alive or not. Besides, I love kids. Always have.
Hey Disco... *I pause, unsure* I've got some four year old twins with me at the moment, but I can't take them along if we go on a mission. If I check with their mom, do you think you could - ...
Absolutely. I just had a couple of boys move out, so there's plenty of room at the homestead.
Great! Just a moment, then... *I go into one of the unused bedrooms and radio Retro. She's just about to leave with Poison, but I quickly explain the situation and get her permission.*

*i stand by the door, almost bursting with excitement* well? What are we waiting for?! *I brush past gear and barge through the door. The darkness catches me offguard. I call back out* wow... Cool! Did you find those lightbulbs? Maybe there's a light around here somewhere

*I laugh* How about a flashlight for now? *I take out the flashlight she'd loaned me and use it to locate a light switch* Here we go... *I turn on the light. We're in a medium-sized room with shelves, boxes, and tables everywhere. There's stuff tacked to the walls as well, and I walk over to look* Hey... it's all killjoy stuff... *I touch a drawing of a girl, then a handwritten letter* It's like a giant scrapbook, by everyone who's used the house...

Yeah, definitely... *I pick up a book full of sketches and information about desert plants* But what? I don't have a diary or anything, and I've never been one for drawing... *I put down the book and open a folded map. It's covered in different colored lines, and killjoy names are written in red ink in several spots* This one's kinda depressing... I think these are places where killjoys died...

True... *I take one last look at the map, then fold it back up.* There's some blank paper on that table over there, if you want. *I keep looking through the items on the shelves, trying to decide what to leave.* What's in your locket?

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