*starts trying to juggle kitchen knives*

People wouldn't believe how easy it is to catch these. The hard part is actually throwing it. Well, throwing it without ripping it out of your hand first.

Billy: Sure! My leg's finally healed and I'm ready to break somethin' else!

Scatach: Great! Grab your stuff and we'll head out. *Gets up and goes to fill a backpack with survival gear*

*Nods and goes to room to get changed*

*Billy goes into his own room and comes out in a armored greatcoat resembling NCR Ranger armor
with a repeater on his back, a revolver on his hip and the Spearheads tucked away in various pockets*

*Knocks on Jordan's door*
Billy: I'll be outside with Scatty when you're ready. Black Hawk's coming too, if that's okay.

OOC its cool just say the rose is on its last thread and you used some deus ex machina water/magic.

*Delicately takes rose from Ra, noticing only a few petals remaining, yet the rainbow aura remains*

To Ra: I don't know how... maybe there is hope..

*Gives the rose back to Ra* If the creature finds out the beam still stand.. she will be back.. Put it somewhere safe, like a vault or something.. it is not safe with me...

*Hears Scatty* I'll go.. I need something to do...

*follows after Billy while still juggling*

Y'all going somewhere? Do you think there's room for your favorite guy dressed in red?

*Ra grins*
Ra: Just keep an eye on your pockets. You've no idea how easy that was...

Horus: Here, I'll put it in the tightlock. *To Roland* It's where we keep the planet destroying stuff. It's warded, sealed, and inside a maze of 12 foot thick adamantite walls. It'll be safe.

Billy: Uh... ask Scatty. She's the one who put this together.

[Entire tank lurches] [Shuttle engines stop, and the craft has landed]
[Kisses Amelia] [Looks very worried]

[Straightens uniform, and calms face]
[Heads out of tank] [Watches shuttle doors open]

[Greeted by a small band of terrified guardsmen] [Handed a data slate] [Reads it quickly] [Looks out across the landscape]

Get the tanks out. [Gestures] We're not the only army interested in this planet... It seems Xenos have got here before us.

*nods and goes over to Scatty*

I hear that you're going on an adventure? Well, if you're fighting Gollum, Lara Croft, or some random troll thing, I'm your man.

*Comes out in armour and with sword strapped on back*

Kay, ready.

*Takes a few things out of pouch and smiles*

Okay, all ready.

*Amelia nods and stands beside Yarrick*

*Adjusts helmet and looks stern*

To Ra: huh? Well I will try and watch them...

To Horus: Thank you Horus..

*Walks up to scatty* Scatach may I tag along on this adventure?

*Black Hawk rolls up in Horus's jeep*
Black Hawk: Hop in.

*Scatty jumps in the front while Billy climbs in the back and holds a hand out to help Jordan*

*To Roland*Scatach: Hmmm... I think Cal may lose it if you come with us with your arm like that...


*Horus begins the several hour journey down through the elevators and sub-basements*

*Takes Billy's hand and hops in*

*Smiles and curls up on him*

*Billy puts his arm around Jordan*

Billy: Ready to roll Hawk.

To Scatty: Nonsense! Cal said keep it in a sling so I will.. please let me go.

Need to keep my mind off things...

*climbs into the jeep before Hawk can take off*

Hmm, roomy in here. Oh, shoot. Forgot something.

*pulls the kitchen knives out of his arms and tosses them aside*

Pesky things. You always leave them in places and forget about 'em. Annoying, right?

*Smiles*

Least you're getting more confident.

*Sits up slightly to be at eye-level*

*Rests head against his and closes eyes*

*Moves over slightly to give DP some room to sit*

*Scatach considers*
Scatty: Well... alright, hop in.


Billy: Wade, you're a freak *Shakes head and cuddles Jordan*

[Benny guides the tanks out, and into mud] [The butter tank zooms in circles before remembering it's supposed to be sensible]

[Looks over] Take them to cover, Commissar. [Hears booming in the distance] ..? [Smoke rises from a wooded area] ...

[Steps down from shuttle and starts walking toward guard camp] [Takes Amelia's shoulder] Sergeant, get the men building dug out shelters. Someone other than us has artillery.

[The transport loudly explodes] [Several shells land nearby, missing wildly and taking out parts of the hillside]

Ooc: and in ducking out of narrating that soon, but needed to land.
Finally back playing MH... I'm utterly failing at big monsters. :(

*Nods and finds seat in jeep*

Anyone have cigarettes? Preferably good ones..

*Hands ZK a pack*

Just leave some for me.

*Amelia nods and quickly starts organizing the men to start building stuff*

*Billy, Black Hawk and Scatach speak in unison *
You do know those will kill you right?

Thanks, Jay.

*reaches into pockets and pulls out a candy bar*

Anyone have a nut allergy? No? Perfect.

Yeah. I'd prefer to die of cancer than I would being slowly digested in the stomach of a Deviljho.

*Takes out a cigarette and lights it*

*Looks at all the stares*

*Sighs and snubs out cigarette*

*Pops it back into pack and goes back to cuddling with Billy*

*Black Hawk guns it off following Scatty's directions as she reads the map*

Billy: I'd rather you not die if that's okay...

*Smiles* I do know, yet I take my chances..

*Nods to Jordan* Thankee Jordan, I only need one. *Passes pack back to her*

*Lights cigarette, and takes a long drag*

*Stuffs pack in pouch and pulls out a bottle of whisky that should not fit in the pouch*

Drink, anybody?

*giggles slightly*

Boba could use something to not get digested in a stomach.

OOC: Tried a bit more Stalker. Died a good couple more times, but I found a rifle. Bandits won't be sneaking up on me anymore.

BIC: Ooh! me me me.

*Hands the bottle*

Just don't drink it all. Need to save some for later.

[Picks self up] [Sees wreckage] [Swears]
[Realises] Benny! Go home!
[Benny looks over from steering the tanks and shakes head] [Takes off wristband and throws it into the dunes]

[Facepalms] Fine. One of you go and find that, before I strangle him.

[Studies map] [Smiles] Should be an easy one.
