Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 5

Not much, really. How about you?

=I shift positions trying to ease my wounds=

Same, Cept' for the fact that Zeru thinks he could woop me, even in the current state he's in.

=i chuckle=
Oh, you'd be surprised. He's got some good upgrades to his armor.

Well then, he hasn't fought with me yet, he doesn't know what I can do!

=I pull out my two grenades and juggle them with one hand=

By the way, do you know where i can get more grenades?

No idea, and that is a good way to freak the hell out of someone.

=i gesture to the grenades=

It is, I practice don't worry, I'm usually juggling like 6!

It freaks people out more when I whistle "Pop goes the weasel"!

=i laugh=
I bet. Mind putting those away now, though? I don't think we want to make the locals any more nervous than they already are.

*sigh*, yeah... sure

=I put them away=

do you play cards?

David noticed that the group apparently knew each other quite well, and kept this in mind. "Initiation? Into what?"

"Into the Brotherhood! The Doctor said you were slightly clueless." The American laughs.
"oh stop flirting with him," says the Bronze-skinned woman, "He's just as likely to be a spy as you are." She winks at David.
"oh I'm the one flirting?" The american laughs.

Not really, but I can try.

=i find a table and bring it over, as well as another chair=

=I take out my Deck of cards=

what game shall we play?

Anything, as long as it's not for money or anything. All I got on me are my dogtags, and three magnums, and I'm not giving any of them up.

=i smile to try and lighten the mood=

Only 2 people have played a game with me recently to tell you the truth, Some man named David and My cousin.

I know David, and I have no idea who your cousin is. Well, we gonna play?

=i look at him and put my arms on the table=

My cousin would be Xazhi....

=I split the deck into two piles after shuffling=

A game of War.

He couldn't help but to chuckle, "Wouldn't be so clueless if he'd tell me what's going on." He looked down at his feet, rubbing the back of his neck before looking back up, "By Brotherhood, I assume you mean the Black Hand?"

Xazhi? and War?

he's also known as Jack, And yes have you played War before?

Oh, Jack. I know him. And if I have played War, it was under a different name. Tell me how you play.

well you have half a deck, and i have half a deck. We both flip a card over at the same time, who ever's card has a higher value wins the round and keeps both their own card and their opponent's card. The process continues until the bottom of both the the decks are reached. whoever has the most cards, wins!

Oh, like real war, strength in numbers. Cool.

=i flip over a card= 7

=flips card =

3, you win that round....

=the game continues=

It's all based on luck too.

Yea, that's true. Just like another facet of war, luck that the enemy doesn't know where you are, doesn't have superior weapons, luck that you are well prepared, etc. If only real war was this simple...

=i flip my last card= 4

"Why yes of course, silly, I can't imagine it being anything else!" says the Bronze-skinned woman.

=last card: 2=

well it seems you had more guns on your team

=I grin and shake his hand=

=i grin as well=
I guess so. Oh, did Matt tell you the deal? About staying here I mean.

What's the deal?

Well, I don't know if it applies to you, since you've been here for what I'm guessing is a while, but for the rest of us, we have only a few days to decide whether or not to stay. If we don't decide, well, at least someone may die in our group and the rest kicked off.

=i shrug=
I need to go find the others and talk to them before we do much of anything, but still, it's a hard choice.

I'm guessing we need to leave, due to the Bounty on all of our heads?

David smirked, "Just wanted to make sure, Miss...?" He looked to the others as if to indicate he wanted to know their names as well.

I don't really want to leave, though, none of us really want to. We don't have homes, not anymore. Mine was Harvest, and we all know how that ended. Ash was Arcadian, and then Draco and Zeru, well, they don't talk about it much. We're all kinda looking for a place to live in peace and make our own rules and such. This is kinda as close as we can get, right now.

Tar doesn't like to talk about home, But I'm always happy to talk.

My current Home is somewhere.... I don't remember where I parked it sadly

=i chuckle=
Tried walking around clicking the button? Listen for the beep.

well, It's not really your average ship.... I own a Covenant Troop Carrier... Pretty cozy!

Nice. I used to have a custom Sabre, accidentally launched it and crashed it on a nearby planet. Yea...not my proudest moment.

I've down stupid stuff...Ever heard of that Large passenger ship that blew up 3 years ago?

No, sorry. Too busy trying to not get killed.

=i smile= Tell me you didn't.

kinda did, kinda didn't.... I accidentally dropped one of my grenades on it while I was walking over it when it was in the hanger...

=i laugh=
See? Grenades are bad when juggled!

I actually wasn't juggling them, I was eating a sandwich when it fell out of a hole in my backpack...

=I chuckle=

=i laugh harder=
Gotta watch out for those sandwiches, always distracting you from the worst.

Hahaha! yep and the worst part was it actually took off then blew up over a city, ironically it destroyed two hospitals.

I got away... nearly shit my pants when I found out what I did

=Ash wakes up clutching her arm in pain=
This dam bruises.... I must of slept on it...

=She looks up, her eyes darting round the room as she remembered where they where=
Safe.. At last... At least I hope so...

=She looked over to Draco smiling, unknowing what to say she just kissed him=

I can imagine.

=i laugh a bit then sigh=
If only my life was bit less hectic, maybe I could enjoy it more.

(He kisses her back, smiling)
@Ash
Hey, how did you sleep?

I was a sniper, it was boring, so I just left... No more boredom, I wanted to do something...

=I start picking up the cards=

So I became a Bounty hunter!

CQC, my friend, CQC. Never get's boring there. Then again, you get haunted by the faces of those you kill, but at least it isn't boring.

=i half smile=

=He finds Dormii in a room at a table with Kurbis. He walks in with a sandwich in one hand and his helmet under his other arm=

Hey Dormii, Kurbis. Whats up?

=I open my eyes, unable to sleep=

I have to leave...
