Dalamar─O: sighs "I move on to the next city, and play a game with the citizens called, "Who can stay still the longest""
Fury : "Oh." the tone of my voice didnt hide my disappointment in that single word of response. Then I nodded and guessed I'd have to figure something out on my own
Dalamar─O : "I ain't staying here. You can get sick from being around the stuff that dead bodies smell of.... Umm.. I happen to have a wagon, a big one, outside town.. One of those Alar jobs."
Fury: I smiled politely, taking this as more of his stating what he's got..."That must be nice. I have a skiff. A small one."
Dalamar─O : "I'm going to take all this stuff out there and put it away, then come back maybe with a larger wagon..." ...not good at this. "I don't usually offer but so long as you don't make a tarsk of yourself or try to stab me when i'm sleeping, you can come along with."
Fury: I looked at him again as he spoke and considered his offer, Probably the best one I was going to get for the time being, then looked around again at the devastation of what had been my childhood home.
Dalamar─O gets up and moves over the the cart thing "Find some clothes, whatever you need from wherever you can find it."
Fury : "I have stuff... in a warehouse on the docks."
Dalamar─O: nods
Fury : "I already went through the pallets down there ....and a jit."
Dalamar─O : "You have a whole city you can loot."
Fury : "there is no charm in looting from the dead."
Dalamar─O : "It's a good thing... dead people don't swing that way."
Fury : "I'm kinda glad dead people dont swing at all, that would be mightily frightening."
Dalamar─O : "Go do what you have to. If you see anyone else, don't show yourself. They might not be as nice as me."
› caii has joined the conversation.
Fury: I nodded and didnt need to hear that suggestion twice. "ok I'll stay out of sight - are we meeting back here?"
Dalamar-O: "I might be staying another day or two in the vicinity, I have an idea that I'd like to try, though I can't say if it'll work." The things one thinks of when sleep is lacking
caii move along the shadows keeping head spinning like swivel not knowing who is around the corn
Fury : "well if its any consolation... there aint anyone down on the docks - dead or alive... they all seem to have run inland."
Dalamar─O : "They're likely dead. I saw very few bodies outside the city."
Fury : "yeah but not dead - there, thats my point. if you want to hole up in the warehouse , you're welcome to."
Dalamar─O : "Warehouse? When there's so many taverns, houses and mansions? Places with real beds?"
Fury : "....with dead people laying around."
Dalamar─O : "They're not all abed."
Fury :"this place aint gonna smell so pretty come tomorrow. I like breathing."
Dalamar─O : "Yes, I know, which is why I'll be sleeping in my wagon, outside the city. Where the air is good."
caii not sure what has happened here sneaking around looking for food or anything that can take with me on journey out of this hell hole
Fury: I wasn't going to argue nor beg him to stick around. Heck I didnt even know his name and wasnt going to ask just yet." well, you know where to find me when you come back."
Dalamar─O: moves between and picks up the poles
caii taking the knives from the bodies on the ground moving thru the shadows
Dalamar─O : "Well like I said, I'm outside with the big wagon you can't miss.."
Fury: I bit my tongue... was I supposed to drag all my stuff through the city to find a wagon?
caii seeing a body moving thru the darkness towards a wagon falling to the ground not too be seen
Dalamar─O : "I can come back with the smaller wagon, like I said, though it'll be a little while."
Fury : "alright, I'm gonna go pick some more pallets this changed things, a lot... I was supposed to be vacationing in some place a lot nicer by next weekend. This was not in my plans - at all."
caii noticing another person off in the distance not sure if they are Free or slave stay in the shadows searching for food
Dalamar─O : "Heh. For me, every day is a vacation. No boss, no stress, no responsibilities.."
Fury : "Must be nice."
Dalamar─O : "I'm...well, retired. Used to be lots of things, but the last was mercenary."
Fury: I diverted my gaze at that so he could not read my eyes.." so... death."
Dalamar─O : "Actually, no."
Fury: turned a gaze back to him..." No?"
Dalamar─O : "Mostly escorting people from place to place in semi-dangerous territory. I rarely had to kill anyone."
Fury: I looked him straight in the eye now and said. "right. You're hired."
caii moving closer to the ppl staying out of eye sight but hopefully it close enough to hear what they are saying
Dalamar─O : "Hired? Gold's kinda useless now."
Fury : "escorting people place to place.... in semi dangerous territory... I'd say something is killing all these people and its pretty dangerous. There are other forms of payment that arent gold. I am no slave but I can pay my way"
Dalamar─O : "If someone's got the ability to pull this sort of thing off whenever they want, I'm useless against it."
Fury : "Let's just pretend you aren't. It makes me feel better."
Dalamar─O : "Whatever floats your boat. Well, I'm offskies. I'll be back in a little while, help yourself to...well, everything, the only one that can stop you is you."
Fury: it did indeed float my boat, boats were something I was good with. I'd grown up on them , I knew them inside and out. Boats seemed a hell of a lot safer than land wagons right now but I wasnt going to say that out loud. I nodded and turned to head off back to the docks then paused and looked back. "That bow.... can I borrow it? you know - just in case."
Dalamar─O nods and shakes the poles, and leans forward, and begins the moderately long trek of walking out of the city...then stops again " Can you even draw it?"
caii continues on my quest to find out what happens here coming from the Northern land
Fury : "in the face of threat and danger, I bet I can"
Dalamar─O : "There's lotsa places around here that's got weapons just sitting around waiting for you to just pick it up. Saw some on the way in'
Fury: I pursed my lips in thought as I looked at him and nodded. "fair enough"
Dalamar─O : "Can follow me part way if you want, I'll point it out"
Fury : "Naw I got this, I know this city like the back of my hand... be safe out there, Outlaw."
Dalamar─O: shrugs with a smile and says "I'm the most dangerous person in the city at the moment. You can be the safe one."
caii hearing the ppl speak waiting for them to leave so can explore more
Fury: I nodded before darting off in a direction opposite of his own - if there were anyone or anything else out there, it wouldn't be following the both of us at the same time.
Dalamar─O: chuckles and begins to put one foot in front of the other, and putting the other foot down, and repeating this process
caii taking my chances moving in the d the lady moves keeping the distances not to be discovered
Fury : ok back in a bit))
[06:04p] › You are marked as being away.
Dalamar─O Can't help but run people over...at least the stuff in the back won't break easily. And...you really are losing it. You left the damn bow. Again. But at least the grass outside the city's not got nearly as many bodies on it, and it's an easier pull once outside. Eventually the main wagon gets reached, and the items in the cargo thing get put inside and shelved properly.
caii noticing not anybody else around move into one of the building looking for shelt for the night
› caii went away.
[06:13p] › caii has left the conversation.
Dalamar─O Now about this idea...a cold room in a wagon. Can this be done? Isn't it really just a lot of sawdust on a thick floor and a sturdy insulated door? Might have to install a drain...metal flooring perhaps...sure..... But first. The steaks are put away in one of the cooler wagon rooms. Then...maybe a nap. There's time for that. He goes to his bed in another part of the wagon, takes off his boots and hat, and lays back and closes his eyes.
Dalamar─O : zzz
