056. Going To California

Alright, so, unless you've been completely ignoring the journal, there's another expedition. Great timing, guys. Not like half the city's still in ruins or anything.

Anyway...

If you can help it, try to keep anything you have to say about it under a filter. Those guys out in the woods who hate us went and spanked our asses a few years back when most of us were out playing Michigan Smith. So the less they know about us being vulnerable right now, the better.

Those of you who are staying behind, keep your eyes open and speak up if you see or hear anything.

In the meantime...

City's still in rough shape. Anybody who's good with their hands or has "super powers" or whatever, giving the townspeople a hand would probably be a good thing.

Uh, anybody who's good with masonry, my cabin got destroyed, too. I've been meaning to update the walls to brick anyway, so... yeah. Let me know if you're interested.

Those guys in the woods?

forever!

[samson]

Yeah, they call them the 'First Gens.' I guess they were residents of the castle before us, so 'first generation' or something...

Anyway, they got a real beef with us for some reason.

[whistles_the_blues]

Good to know. Anything in particular I should be on the look out for?

[samson]

Nah, not really. They sent in a couple spies once, but with so many people coming and going all the time, it's kinda hard to notice that kind of thing.

[mal_addict]

I'm working in the town now, helping rebuild. I suppose I could drop by the cabin to push up a wall or two for you.

[Filter]

And tell me about it. You know what they're like, how can they deal with things close to home when there's adventure out there?

[samson]

Oh, sure, just push up a wall. No big deal. [VAMPIRES.]

It's a big damn asteroid or something. I don't think it's going anywhere. Really, it could've waited.

[mal_addict]

If you're put off by the fact I'm stronger than you, I'll just leave you do it by yourself.

[Filter]

Exactly. The town is far more important.

[samson]

No, that would be stupid. [He's just jealous okay...]

[Filter]
Well... unless there are aliens on the asteroid or something. That could potentially be bad.

[gottaknockhard]

[...He forgot about the cabin. Allow him a second to scream in silence before he addresses his concerns for his friend.]

The whole thing?

[samson]

Just the three walls that aren't brick... and the roof. So... mostly the whole thing.

[gottaknockhard]

[Don't be an asshole and ask about the car first. Ask about anything else. Think of something else...]

That's too bad. I was looking forward to smoked ham. [--or you could have asked if he was okay. Whatever.]

[samson]

You can still have that. Greenhouse and smokehouse are still okay. Garage, too.

[See, you don't even need to ask, Spike...]

[heloise]

Maybe they go to fetch us a new city, what do you think?

filter >:V

[samson]

[AGGRESSIVELY ADDS A FILTER]

The last time they did that, I'm pretty sure that's what brought that stupid plague thing.

foreveeer

[heloise]

[ She lets other people worry about things like that! ]

Do you suppose the keys to a new city would make it a worthy endeavor? Or two?

[samson]

[Lucrezia please....]

Two new cities. What makes you think there are two new cities out there?

[dorkwonder]

I've organized some groups to help with rebuilding the city. I'm not a masonry expert by any means, but I have some supplies I could lend you.

[samson]

Yeah? I mean, the city takes priority, so only if you have extra. I don't even live there, it's just kind of... a hobby.

[dorkwonder]

My friend, Once, let me use his workshop and use whatever's in there. If I have anything left over between that and the other supplies we've gathered, I'll send them your way.

First filter forever

[forsometimenow]

That's useful to know, thank you. This is my first time going on one of these and I wasn't here when the attack you spoke of happened... I'd hate to unintentionally draw their attention.

yes!

[samson]

Yeah, it's no problem. They always forget to tell the newbies about that, so.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, there's not exactly anyone handing out information pamphlets when you first appear here.

Filtered to end

[savethedarkness]

Glad to see someone else in this heap of rock was having the same thought I was. I've sent Bond to be my eyes and ears, he'll tell us if there's anything worth knowing.

As for the relief effort, I can't be of much use with the physical labour, but I can help coordinate if it's needed.

yes i agree

[samson]

It looks like this guy [arrow to Tim's comment] is setting up some task forces, so he might be the guy to talk to.

But you said Bond? I got the feeling that guy doesn't really take orders all that well.

[savethedarkness]

[already scanning the conversation] He does if they're coming from me.
