"Quiet - I heard they went after the Iron Guard on a sneaky raid" she whispered back, too softly to be overheard, her voice still musical even at a whisper. "Idiot! No good can come of this. DEX! Beer, mate! Three lagers." Suture Sutton stood stoically by. "Marvin 'Bullet Face' is gunna live up to his name some time if he keeps dragging us into the mud round here." "Yeah we'll see about that" Willie whirled round to face Ann, his cape swirling in the dust. He pointed at her, his finger still unshakable even at his advancing age. "Somebody find out what happened. Keep a look out along the road, I expect them to crawl back here and explain why they lost one of the V8 Barons." "After this beer though boss, right?" Ann said, manually lowering Willies hand to his side. Suture Sutton knew he would never get away with that kind of move, but he was thinking of his own moves. Moves that may not be too many years down the track.
1iTim Posted Oct 11, 2024, 1:19 am	the radio at headquarters squawked into life. "...just seen some ... with our logo on their .... .... in the pit... Have we ...any report of losses to .... slavers?" The message continued and included the appropriate call signs, then repeated. The information became clear. Marvin's crew had ended up in the pit at firelight, fighting for their lives against mutant animal horrors. "those Iron Guard Elite sold us out! Damn them!" "Bastards!" "since when did they start selling people out like that?" "How the hell will they get back from firelight now? Its not like they can drive the trash truck all this way."
PvtParty Posted Oct 11, 2024, 7:36 am	Craig 'Red' Woods, sitting quietly at the bar, making his pint last, leans across and says: "If yer guys be needing a lift outta Firelight, look up our guys down there. We offen rotate crews down there. No garrantees thow..." He coughs a little, "assumin they makes it outta the pit intact..."
1iTim Posted Oct 16, 2024, 9:27 am	Ann pauses slightly on her way out, leans in towards Red Woods and says "if they live, we may take you up on that - or they'll scout down there till they die." laughing prettily, she continues on her way out of the bar, aware of every eye following her as she steps lightly out the door.
