If there are any other engineers or tech-savvy Drifters among us that aren't waterbound, Viktor and I won't dismiss the assistance with the generator. We're doing our best to get it running, or at least construct temporary vehicle augumentations to reinforce our defenses in the mean time. They'll be bare bones and have a short life span, but it's better than nothing. That being said, my current projects will be temporarily postponed until further notice. If I'm not working parts, I'm gathering wood, and I can only step outside at dusk.

[ or if he snows in the damn place but uhhhh no thank you! ]

Donnie and Danse, you'll hear back from me when your respective requests are finished. I haven't forgotten any of them.

In the meantime, if you come across any generator parts, bring them to us as soon as possible, please. Any remnants of metal, elements, chemicals or hands to help with the wood would be valued if you can find or offer— I'll trade my work for it, if you have the patience for a queue. I can do minor fixes where needed.

Any questions, you can ask them here or come to the forge. It's hard to miss.

[ it's the only lisa frank pick up for miles. the thing is hard to miss, especially when jayce is working the little cargo bed forge he's built over the last two months. characters are welcome to come visit directly while he's working at night; smoke signals and his hammer (hand sized, not the big one) pounds throughout the late hours, while he's asleep or within the convoy from sunrise to sunset. ]

June Catchall [ OTA ]

Who: Vincent Valentine, Various
What: Things in June but not Event-coded.
When: Through June, prior and during event.
Where: Convoy Shop Trailer, Convoy Environs
Warnings: Guns and guntalk. Vampire-coded potential stuff (blood, blood-drinking)

Gun Shop

Vincent has taken over a small area in the Convoy's 'shop' trailer in which he's posted strict hours of business for the purpose of trading or requesting guns and ammunition, maintainence, repair or basic lessons. There are some neatly written rules.

-Don't bother me during non-business hours unless it's an emergency.
    Ammo and repairs are emergencies.
    Securing salvaged firearms and ammo are emergencies.
    Wanting a gun or lessons are not.
-No one is entitled to have a firearm.
-Ammo is limited. Don't waste it.
-You're required to prove proficiency and responsibility.
-You may ask to be taught.
-Privilege may be revoked.

Like clockwork, Vincent will be found at the posted hours with a list of current ammunition and a sample selection of available firearms. Pistol, revolver, shotgun, single shot rifles and assault rifles. They are/are loosely based on 20th-21st century Earth and caliber. Most look right at home in a post apoc setting as far as 'wear and tear' but have been clearly repaired and are in perfect working order.

Vincent himself is a dark haired man with pale skin - as much as can be seen given his attire - wearing a red cloak with a high collar over a black leather outfit. His left hand is wearing a bronzen metal gauntlet with pointed clawtips and he has matching armor plates on his boots. He's usually working on a gun that needs repair unless he's dealing with a hopeful customer.

Convoy

Vincent's physical presence seems sparse outside of his 'shop hours'. Moreso than usual; generally someone could spot his red cloaked self hanging around on some distant cliff edge or on top of the trailers. Or even by his weird rat rod of a car. But once night falls he tends to check in if he's agreed to guard the convoy that particular evening or just vanish until morning out into the riverlands.

That said, during the day, he'll be looking to speak to a few people he's heard of and during those moments anyone might catch him for a moment if he happens to wander by. How long he'll stay on the other hand...

[Audio, first evening parked by the river]

Okay, uh, people should probably not try to go swimming in the river. Just to warn you.

[She makes an annoyed noise.]

I turned into a fish person. Like I have gills now and webbed feet and it's awful. So just, you know, be careful and don't just jump in like an idiot.

[Like she did. She adds, mostly in a mutter, but still broadcasting,]

The plants said as much and I didn't listen. They warned me not to put my roots too deep. Ugh. So stupid.

JUNE PLOTTING POST/INTRO POST

code

Hello everyone, and welcome to Route 666 and our newest OOC Intro and Mingle post! We're going to experiment also have this double as our June Plotting Post!

As for the plot of June... Welcome to the Riverlands! As the name implies, this stretch of Revan is covered with rivers and lakes. The Convoy will be doing plenty of bridge crossings, and even the odd river fording.

This said, the main river here carries a supernatural quirk: they can reflect regrets and secrets when a Drifter crosses them. Submerging waist deep or further into the river can also activate trait changes, or completely change a Drifter into something more aquatic. Unsurprisingly, Merfolk be our featured monster for this month!

The Convoy is carrying some dents from last month, and eventually the damage catches up to it; for most of the month, the Convoy Shield will be broken. Drifters will be exposed to the full call of the moon, monster attacks on the Convoy and the vehicles at night, etc. This said there is a fix for this problem: the nearby ruins in a lake holds a generator that can be used to power the shield.

The generator is in pieces, inside an abandoned (and half drowned) power plant in the middle of a lake. The main river feeds into this lake, keeping the prior effects active. The power plant itself has all sorts of strange, hazardous rooms storing the generator pieces to navigate.

Since the power plant is half drowned, there’s plenty of flooded hallways for Merfolk to navigate through, to help find the pieces. Once taken back to the Convoy, it’s possible to lend a hand with assembling the pieces and installing them, and finally get a working shield back by the end of the month!

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

Radio audio, evening.

[It's that guy again! He still sounds pleasant at least.]

I wish to make a suggestion that we find ways to make ourselves... visibly identifiable even when in monstrous forms, as members of the convoy and thus ideally not a marauding wild beast even if we are acting like one. Something beyond our often hidden sigils, that an unthinking creature is unlikely to imitate. What exactly, I am open to recommendations for. I suspect friend-or-foe ID chips might be beyond what this place is capable of.

[The rest sounds extremely reluctant.]

I don't have as much control of the ... thing ... I become as I would like, and though I am reasonably sure I can keep from doing serious intentional harm to allies, I can't guarantee my behavior might not match that of a feral creature and thus seem to be a viable target for hunting. Especially as it seems intent on establishing a ... pecking order, and aggressively.

... I suspect I'm not the only one who has such concerns. These changes are uncomfortably unpredictable.
