Who could have foreseen that it would be raining when the group was to gather? Someone competent most likely, however this can not exactly be said about the people pushing to have their pet project finished as soon as possible, and one of them was indeed, a rather familiar hound standing where the highway ended, and the vast expanse of empty land stretched before them all.
Sitting in the driver's seat of a jeep with his legs hanging loosely out the side, Otto was merrily tending to his favorite time killing activity, fiddling with his laptop, safe from the light drizzle coming down on any unfortunate soul that happened to be walking around outside without some sort of protection. He awaits the willing scavengers eagerly, with a slightly annoyed expression on his face, and his comm unit on mute. Seems something had happened, but that was an entire story of its own...
Fenris does not seem to be particularly bothered by the rain as it drips from the wide brim of his white cowboy hat. The burly tanuki trots amiably along the road to where the Jeep waits.
"Someone said there was adventure to be had?" he asks as he draws level with the idling vehicle, adjusting the heavy, leather gun belt around his waist. There does not seem to be any gun in it, but it has several interesting pouches, and his sword and spear hang from the harness across his back.
Cameron had been curious about all this talk about power armour, having come up with several of her own in the past, plus she had been a huge nerd and looking like a space marine was a dream come true for one. So she had gathered up several of her things and set out to join the gather, her tail refusing to settle down at the prospect of fresh salvage.
She lands with a soft sound, white feathered wings giving one last little flap before they vanish into her back. With the leesser signal she figured they were soon to wake out of it and wings wouldn't work anyway. Seeing the two large guys already present she gave them both a small wave. "Hello! I am here to help." Her hand adjusting her pack strap idly.
Firecracker arrives shortly after the others, appropriately singing out, "I'm singin' in the rain! Just singin' in the rain! What a glorious feelin'! I'm happy again!" In she flies from above on her tiny pink pegawings, landing atop the jeep to look towards the others before shaking herself off like a dog, swinging her wings around in little arcs as water is sprayed all over. "Hiya peoples! Someone say something about adventure? I love adventure! I'm Firecracker! What're your names?!"
Out of bubble work was Phosphorus' specialty, her home element, almost. She arrives, moderately armored - vest, trousers, jacket, gloves, boots, helmet. She has a fair complement of weaponry, too, with a handgun tucked into a holster on the front of her vest, and a large revolver in a thigh holster, and the ever-present rifle hanging off to the side, in its straps. She has a large rucksack, probably containing a fair bit of survival gear, ammunition, and emergency rations.
The panda is seemly unaffected by the rain, rivulets dancing down her otherwise waterproofed gear. She wipes off a bit of water from the front of her helmet's face shield, already motioning to open the door of the jeep. "Lets get in, get out, aye?"
"Hi Fen." Otto greets once he spots the tanuki, in a dapper cowboy hat no less. "Sure, I guess you could call it that." he answers once more souls seem to swoop right in, on a pair of white angelic wings, no less! "Cammie, over here! Get in, get in! Damn this weather!" Otto waves for her to climb into the jeep as well. "Is anyone else coming?" he asks himself out loud, only to have his answer served immediately. Ah, there it was, that familiar cheery tone announcing... yep. "Hi Fire." Otto snickers and reaches out the front door to pluck the pony up by the tail and set her down within the vehicle, away from the frigid cascade. "That makes three! With Fire so tiny though, that leaves a seat empty." he hooks a thumb to the one remaining spot left in the jeep. "I did ask for three at most, but if someone else shows up, we'll take them! So, I'll be your d... oh!" the canine pauses and blinks as he spots another figure approaching. Ah, there she was! How could Phosphorus miss out on something outside the bubble? Well, she couldn't by the looks of things. "Officer Phosphorus, so glad you could join us." Otto winks, then waves her over to hop into the jeep as well.
"So! I will be your driver for the day, folks. We'll be heading out to explore a small town some ways away from here, there's a lot of shops and even a warehouse there. Reports suggest that there aren't many ferals in the area, though there have been sightings of wandering bandits and looters." the canine taps his forehead "Where there are looters, there's bound to be loot. My point though, I won't be coming with you, I'll just guard the jeep since if I lose this thing, it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg." the canine cringes softly and sighs "Anyway, I hope you know your electronics, cause that's mostly what we're after, yeah?"
He turns the ignition key, and revs the engine a few times. "Should be quiet, especially given the shitty weather, but keep an eye out and a weapon within reach, just in case." the canine warns, then tries to turn the AC on, but the blasted thing was busted. Go figure, right? Huffing to himself, he adjusts the mirrors, or what was left of them, and waits for everyone to get in so that they can head off.Fenris hauls himself into a seat, leaning a thick arm and his round face out the window. "Adventure!" he calls out jovially!
Cameron gave the large hound a little smile as she moved around the vehicle. "Hello Otto, always good to see you well." Thankfully the cat was wearing her usual hoodie, with the hood thrown up to keep her hair and ears nice and dry. The cat trying to get into the passanger seat if she could as she climbed into the jeep as well. "Sounds fair enough, would hate to have to walk back in this weather." Her hands setting her pack on the floor and lowering her hood to let her ears stretch and flick about freely. "Am all set."
Firecracker makes no objection to being plucked up by the tail and placed wherever she's put! Though she does then hop up onto the dashboard right above the steering wheel to get a better view of where they're going. "Hiya, Fenny! Hiya, Cammie! Hiya, Phossy! Hiya, Toey!" she greets each member of the group with a rapid waving of a foreleg before addressing Otto once again. "If we're goin' out to loot stuff, doesn't that mean we're the looters?" she asks with a tilt of her head.
