LogThe Mouldering World-Joe-3

Game log for the 2014/02/16 session of The Mouldering World, as taken by Joe

Ghilly resists going to the gas station to fix the bus because she doesn't want to abet Bingham's stealing the bus. I really don't care and talk her into coming with us. Fluffy and Amber come as well. Borax, the head of the part of the gang guarding the gas station reports that, although the hippies have decamped the bus and are turning the place into a commune, nothing's happened. We go to leave but I warn Borax about Texture and Flow. Ghilly needs to get some parts and then we'll return the next day. We roll so well that we're able to get the parts and get back to the crossroads by late afternoon. I leave Ghilly to fix the transmission. When I see Flow and Hue the hippie mechanic get on the bus, I go with them. I note some "significant" looks between the two when they try to get the bus into gear.

I get Flow to come into the gas station with me and Borax while Fluffy watches Texture. When Ghilly tells Flow that we're here to steal the bus, he gets kinda weepy. Then he goes all glassy eyed. We hear commotion outside.

Next thing I know, I hear Fluffy's magnum go off. I try to draw my piece, but Flow blocks my hand and stabs me under the eye with a scalpel (2 harm). Amber goes "dangerous and sexy" and both Hue and Flow freeze. Ghilly goes into defilade behind the counter with Borax. The gang outside inflict terrible harm (4 harm - 2 armor for the bus) and take little harm (0 harm). Borax's guys pitch in shooting indiscriminately. We kill 5 or 6 and injury 4 more. The whole thing lasts less than 90 seconds.

I get back up, retrieve my magnum, and toast Flow, who Amber is holding frozen. Ghilly pops her head up from behind the counter and decides to go with the hippies. She's adamant that I can't make promises for Bingham, so she won't fix the bus. The gang cuffs and hoods the prisoners, including Ghilly. I threaten Hue to fix the bus and and he does.
