[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast IC

[Frozen Messiah]

Terrence 25/44

Terrence is annoyed by the sudden interuption but he understands it's now neccesaryto bring in the back up. He gets up and walks to the door opens it slightly and motions them to come inside witha wave of his hand then puts a finger to his mouth (to notify to stay quiet). As the rest of the group goes in Terrence looks at the man who yelled in, he then points over to the body and mthen points to his eye (to notify that he should look at him). Once he finishes with the man he goes to check out what the other noise was.

Wait a second, I'll get you out. With that Kyle pulls the girl from under the car. He turns back to answer quickly for James. Yeah, there's a survivor here. And then again consentrates on the girl. You ok lil' sis'? You seem to have hit your head badly.

 

[Voda Vosa]

The argentinian walks in, and watches where the militar pointed out. He remains stationary, trying to spot the bateries.

Janice Cardinal 3/6

Feeling better at being out from under the car, Janice noticeably calms down. She reaches up to her head again, where she can feel the throbbing pain, and flinches as her mitten touches the wound. "Yeah. I don't remember how. But it doesn't hurt as much as my hands and feet do. And I'm cold. And tired." She begins to try to get up. But with numb, none-functioning hands, feet, arms, and legs, she just stumbles back down before she can even get to her hands and knees. She looks like she's about to start crying again.

Kyle 3/9

Yeah, I can imagine. Come, we'll see if there's some blankets in the car. Kyle picks the girl up and starts carrying her to the truck. So where do you live? We could try to find your parents, though we are in a bit of a hurry. He points to the mushroom cloud slowly dissipating up. There was a big bomb downtown. That cloud is... poisonous and it will start raining back down tomorrow so we need to get far away from here. He has to pause for a moment to find the simpler words to tell a child what is going on.

Janice Cardinal 3/6

At the mention of blankets, Janice becomes a little happier. Then she becomes a little apprehensive when Kyle picks her up. When asked where she lives, she simply replies, "Near here."

When asked about her parents, Janice falls back into the old routine of using sympathy to get hand-outs. Through chattering teeth, "M..My p..parents are d..dead. I..I live in a f..foster home with s..six other f..foster k..kids."

At the mention of a 'big bomb', she tries to look in the direction indicated. Upon hearing the rest of his statements, her apprehension shifts from Kyle to the poison. "P..P..Poison! Shouldn't we get inside a b..building? Ta get out of t..the poison r..rain?"

 

[Blackrat]

Having reached the truck Kyle lowers the girl to stand on the ground and kneels down to be face to face. Don't worry, the rain won't come until tomorrow. But to be honest, being inside will not help much. I don't understand much of it, but one of my friends says we need to get very far from here before the rain starts.

He then sighs. You know, judging by the stuff you carry around, I don't think you and your foster parents get along too well. We can probably take you to them if you want, but you can tag along with us too if you wish lil' sis'.

Janice Cardinal 3/6

As Kyle sets Janice down on her feet, she has trouble standing and grabs his arm for support. Listening to him, she fidgets and doesn't look at Kyle. She seems hesitant to talk at first. But then she looks at Kyle and seems to have made a decision. "D..Don't take me back to them. I w..won't stay with them. T..They called me 'w..w..wicked' and hit me with a b..belt on m..my back. If you t..take me b..back to them, I..I'll run away again."

Day 0, November 3rd, 2020, Approx. 12:30 PM (18:30 GMT)

James dashes around to the back of the Pep Boys store and sees only more devastation. Fences have been blown away from the backyards of a residential area. A few cars lie overturned and completely wrecked. Some shingles and debris from a nearby house roof are scattered. There is a vehicle bay (for working on personal cars and trucks) with a Mercury Sable sedan and a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up truck inside the bay, apparently protected fairly well from the force of the A-bomb's winds by the solidly constructed walls around the bay. Around back is an emergency exit leading into the store as well as a door that says "Employees Only," which James assumes to be used for employees who had parked around back. There is no sign of anyone living however. An overturned SUV has an automotive technician inside who appears extremely wounded, with a terrible gash on his head and a pool of blood on the ceiling of the vehicle. He doesn't appear to be showing any signs of life.

Kyle places Janice inside the semi-truck with Harry and Aziz. Harry takes the young girl and grabs a flanel blanket from the back to wrap around her. She soon feels much warmer.
