Brownout Part I: Into the night

[Zhure]

Ben

Ben wakes up, grumpily, and stumbles around trying to find some running water to do a little washing up with.

Afterwards, he'll talk to Jacque about trail rations. "Got any spares, bro?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

Jacqes nods with a mouth full of crackers, then reaches into his backpack and tosses a parcel consisting of a day's worth of rations to Ben. He swallows after a moment.

"I have many spare, always prepared I am," he says with a grin.

 

[Zhure]

"Thanks, man. I was going to grab some grub at the diner before all hell broke loose. Been awhile since I had a full meal."

After eating quickly but fastidiously, Ben will propose they wake everyone up.

"I don't think those military boys will be afraid to pursue us now that it's daylight out, unless there's something really dangerous here. In either case, we should make for someplace closer to the epicenter of this effect. I've got bikes outside."

Jeremy opens his eyes and immediately shuts them again. He lays there for a second and then with a big yawn, stretches. He stands up and scratches himself.

"Why in the hell did God have to invent mornings," he says to no one in particular.

He goes to the bathroom and splashes water on his face. He arches an eyebrow at the sight of Jacques and Ben eating trail rations. With a shake of his head, he whips out a cigarette and lights it. He smokes for a while with his head down, staring at the ground.

"Am I the only one that feels yesterday was like a real weird dream?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Hmm, yesterday was like a bad dream, but today we are waking up, yes?" Jacques says.

 

[ErichDragon]

Father Flannigan wakes before the rest and goes off to find a quiet spot to say his morning prayers. When he returns he is bright and cheery, whistling a cheerful tune.

"Good Morning! I trust everyone slept well."

 

[Zhure]

Ben

Ben just grunts in reply to the cheerful priest.

 

[Starman]

"Must you, Father. It's too friggin' early for cheerful whistling," Jeremy groans.

"Hmm, yesterday was like a bad dream, but today we are waking up, yes?" Jacques says.

"Don't remind me."

Jacques chuckles.

"Do not ask if you do not want an answer, my young friend," he says.

"More or less, Father. Do you need food? I carry enough for all for a week maybe?" he asks, offering a parcel of rations to the priest.

 

[Kalanyr]

After finishing up his memorizing Adrian approaches Hacque

"I could use some food if you have some spare, after having slept on it this is what I remember of the gypsies, there magic is more like the Father's miracles than my spells, he would be your best chance for a cure, unless you wish to find a gypsy of the clan that cursed you. "
