B-MOVIE : Apocalypse now

"Meat, if Fallout is going to be a problem, then it won't matter much if we're inside or out, since I'm sure this cabin isn't a fallout shelter. All we can do is focus on what's at hand, and go from there. You can quiver and worry yourself scared all you want, but it won't make you any more usefull, or help you survive."

Brian heads down with Johny and helps him drag up the gun cabinet. Once it's open, he checks each and every gun to make sure it's in working order, and counts the ammo. "Ok, now who doesn't know how to use one of these?"

"All of a sudden you're an expert eh Brian, well thanks for volunteering the information on the EMP Mr know-it-all" Meat mutters as he bangs out the front door to extinguish the fire.
 

"You girls can light candles if you want. I'm going outside with Rod and Meat. And for the record; I think bringing out the guns is just stupid. You 'tards are more likely to shoot yourselves than some Chinese or Kerblakistani or whatever."

She turns, nose in the air, and steps out the door. She obviously didn't take well to the quiet, shy Shannon yelling out orders.
 

“Excuse me? Just for your information, Brain is military trained and I have been instructed all my life how to handle guns, so there is no chance that we will shoot ourselves. Also missy, I would like to tell how my father died. He also thought that guns were dangerous, but one night he heard something downstairs, and when he surprised a prowler, the prowler beat him to death with a bat. If he had a fu@k!^& gun he would still be here. So I’m sorry you feel that way but I want to be ready just in case I need to protect my friends.” With that he slams the lid to the gun case shut and storms off the his room.
 

Shannon, hands shaking and willing herslef not to cry, walks silently to a cabinet to get some candles.

I should have never come here....

In the back of her mind she's scared of the possibility of a nuke having gone off....but she's more worried about the here and now and cannot stand listening to them fight anymore.

If they weren't going to listen to reason the first time...well then maybe she'd just leave.
 


Seeing Steph emerge from the house Meat takes a breath and forces a smile "C'mon then, we'd best get this fire out and get inside and help out. Didn't expect the weekend to be quite like this eh? Once we're sorted there's probably nothing else we can do but get roaring drunk. I guess the Sherrif knows where we are so someone will eventually come to get us" he finishes with a wink as he moves to find the hose.
 

"Yeah, not quite a relaxing vacation. I could have gone to Sophia's and spent all weekend at a spa, but instead I'm here with a bunch of gun-nuts ready to break out the ammo because of some CED*-ing imagined invasion. What do you think, the wolves are going to attack us because they heard a nuke went off? Stupid."

Steph sighs and forces a smile, but it is obviously fake. "Let's get the fire out. I want to get the stuff back in the shed, too."
