LogThe Mouldering World-Joe-11

Game log for the 2014/06/29 session of The Mouldering World, as taken by Joe

I look around and Phil has disappeared. I come out of the shaft and Phil is there, with an aura shining around him. His arms are spread wide as he walks toward me. For some reason, I can't move as he embraces me. I feel a hand reach out of his coat and press a prism of hard crystal into my chest. I look down and see a beam of light, laser bright and gleaming with the orange of a new dawn, cutting through the clouds. My mind opens to the maelstrom and I see it. My purpose. My destiny. It calls me.

Fluffy starts her first day in the Gulag by meeting the Creepy Creeper. He takes her to breakfast and she trades her bowl of gruel for information about Vance. She joins the assembly and is assigned a work shift. She's going into the work area looking for an inmate with Vance's milky left eye. She doesn't see one, so she is on her guard. She spends her day cleaning out ducts.

In the midst of work someone grabs her ass. She kicks back instinctively, going aggro on her assailant. He's one of Cutter's guys. He wants to trade jobs with her and threatens her with a knife. She takes his knife and avoids his blow before breaking several of his bones. Finishing him off, Fluffy looks around. The rest of the crew take the corpse away. William Tell and Cutter arrive and have a heated argument.

She's charged with "destruction of property" and told to follow Tell after she surrenders the knife. Fluffy becomes difficult but hands the knife over. Out of sight of the other inmates, Tell lets her know what the deal is and hands the knife back. He explains that she's earned herself 30 days in the hole for the murder.

Once my new calling is known to me, I button up my coat and go back to the Jail. I collect my belongings and go through the bar. When Dogace and Abel ask what my plans are, I show them the crystal and fill the room with my light. I tell them that the gang is theirs. I find Tint on the way out of town and place my blessing on him. He tells me to "pay it forward and the ring will close."

I'm driving to Clydesdale and meet Resonance on the road. I give him a ride and he notices something different about me. The road is so bad that the bike is ruined by the time we make the gas station. The ubiquitous clouds part and the Sun shines for the first time in a long time. I leave the bike and embark on my new life.

Borax tells me that I'm different. I tell him that I've given up the gang. I go looking for hippies and find Amp. I try to commune with his mind but fail. He attacks me and I give him an old fashioned gang leader beatdown. Amp tells Resonance that I was making a mockery of everything that Flo was. Resonance heals him but Amp's brain transfers an overwhelming amount of anger and fear. I talk to Resonance and we share some philosophical thoughts. I introduce him to the concept of Agrikanism.
