"Newbie" friend of mine needs a little pep talk or something pertaining to his poetry. "The Masked Madillo" ring any bells? Yeah, brought that fella here, and I'm trying to encourage the guy to get active around these parts. Need a little help on that front, though.

Pass the brain bleach?

...Thankfully I was busy helping my mother with her homework, because she's "Not Computer Savvy" enough to animate a star moving over a map in Powerpoint.

The Capital Wasteland: A Struggle for Survival
"Sounds like a fair deal. It gets pretty eerie out there on one's own, even in broad daylight," Darrin said. "The name's Darrin Maxwell," he introduced himself, extending a hand.

"Tenpenny Tower? Way out southwest of here," Darrin said. "Some old building restored by some snooty fella into a little town of its own. Haven't been out that way myself, I've kept to the ruins just off the Potomac, and the Old Mall, too. Maybe heading out there'll be a nice change of pace for me." Might also help me shake of the Talons, too.

The Capital Wasteland: A Struggle for Survival
"I'm just another scavenger," Darrin said. "I've cobbled together some makeshift weaponry that's kind of impressive, if I do say so myself. Just that someone's taken a hit out on me with the Talon Company mercs because of my work. Those guys are probably the meanest mercs I've ever had to meet, but a railroad spike between the eyes makes a convincing argument." He downed his shot of whiskey. "I'm pretty sure I've got my armor better than they keep theirs by now, though."

The Madillo arrives
"Rabid steed." Haven't heard that one before. A few cautions: Do not insult Amy Rose in front of Crusader and Co. (TUC), do not deny that DevlintheFalcon is some kind of Lovecraftian horror... and if anyone with a black name criticizes your roleplaying technique, listen to them, they're the RP mods. Same goes for a few yellow-named folks, but they're also general mods. Movin' on, movin' on...

Welcome, Oda. Glad you could make it.

"Our business here isn't your concern. I don't believe your pile of springjack sh*t about these being 'your' cities. Out of the way or this twenty-pound-or-so drake will eat your face once I'm done cooking it," Smoulder said, nearing the limit of his patience. It certainly wasn't much, with him being an anthropomorphic fire elemental or something like that. "I've had it with your ilk's lording what you know that we don't over us like you've any RIGHT to be pompous, so if you've got any sense and straight answers in that crooked head of yours, you'll give them to us before I lose it and cook you right where you're standing."

And thus is born an agreeable explanation for my main's dimension-jumping gimmick: the penultimate expression of escapism, perhaps?

Ooh, burn.

Speaking of burn, MAGIC IS NOT A TOY. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE.

Inter-Round "Cafeteria"
"And the fact that he ain't coming..." Taylor started to counter Auriel when Cy-Fox started up Monty Python's Round Table song. "Oh yeah," he muttered through a mouthful of burger. "This could get real ugly real fast." He started glancing around for a place to ride out any confrontations before things got violent again. He didn't intend to make the same mistake twice.

The Capital Wasteland: A Struggle for Survival
The second doctor he had visited in the same day, Doc Church, was definitely different from what he was used to. Hell, Megaton was definitely different from Rivet City.
"Now I wouldn't use that arm for at least half a day. It's not broken, just sprained, thank God, or you'd be a hell of a lot worse off."
In response, Darrin hissed in pain as Church tightened the splint.
"You big baby. You're definitely not Talon, are you?"
"No, there's just nothing to get rid of the insignia on this piece of crap armor."
"What'd you say you did again?"
"Scavenge for scrap and try to make something resembling weapons out of it," Darrin said.
"Go talk to Moira about that sort of thing. I'm sure she's got something that'll help you out if you want to work on it from here. She's up in Craterside Supply, up the ramp outside and over the clinic," Church told him.
"Yeah, I'll do that." Right after I get myself a drink. Whatever he's used to numb the arm is giving me a headache.


Shortly after, he'd walked over to the saloon, his armor earning him several silent dirty looks from the settlers, dropped a handful of caps on the bar and asked for some whiskey. He found himself sitting between some kind of mutant, though not of the 'Super' persuasion, and a merc with some nasty-looking rashes, who promptly left. A guy from the Pitt, this far south? Wow. "What the hell happened to you?" He asked of Ricochet.

Inter-Round "Cafeteria"
"It doesn't. That Nail guy went down while we both were off-kilter from the gas, but Gauge, my first opponent... Last I'll see of him will have been my tossing him into that pit. Those... demons, are going to keep their souls in this hell," Taylor said. "Unless..." He seemed to have an idea.

Inter-Round "Cafeteria"
"Yeah. That wouldn't be bad either," Taylor said, voice trailing a bit. His ever-present guilty conscience decided to hit him for another visit, and brought shame along for the ride. "I... I'm not sure how I'm gonna live with myself if I actually win this. I mean, I've killed two decent folks who've done nothing but had the same misfortune as I to have gotten involved in this. That wolf guy's expression when I unloaded into him is gonna haunt my nightmares for a while, I'm sure of it." He sighed dejectedly. "I don't know why I'm even shoveling this baggage onto you, I just need to get this crap off my chest if I'm gonna keep a clear head."

So, lock and load. Gonna take all the chops I got to stand a chance next round. May the better RPer win, DF... Don't say 'I intend to.'

The Attack on SB: New Creations
It was Smoulder, who'd been out of his reverie now, who answered. "Not only is whatever-we're-dealing-with screwing up the place keeping us here, so-and-so might also be making us watch that bloodbath. That might be going on 'now,' but not our now... I don't think I'm making any sense with that. But the tower's as good a place as any. Yo, drake, see how far up you can get, find our mystery captor... if you understand a thing I'm saying," he said, and Windwright flew up into the air.

The Attack on SB: New Creations
"Hey, don't--" Smoulder began as Cosmin ran ahead and vanished. "--go." Looking around, he saw her behind the group now. "Okay. I just know that isn't... right." He stumbled a few steps forward and pitched onto the ground, releasing the drake and falling on top of it.

Somehow, he knew he was having a vision. The figure in the vision seemed similar to Smoulder himself, only instead of cracked, burning coals, the figure was of flesh and blood, fighting for his life with fire from his hands and fire from a strange, long weapon he carried. He seemed to be shouting at something, but his foes were obscured and his voice didn't carry. The... sorcerer seemed to be the only clear thing in the vision...

Inter-Round "Cafeteria"
"I could eat," Taylor said. Adrian seemed to be a decent fellow, Taylor hated the prospect of killing him in the next match. However, he also still thought himself a decent fellow, and he didn't much like the prospect of dying, either. Still, probable death or not, he still felt he ought to eat. "No offense to any bovine friends of yours, but I could really use a great, big, greasy cheeseburger right about now. Could do worse than that."

What fresh hell is this?
