((Aww, I hope the Hurricane didn't get Maniac...
Let's do a timewarp and RP until we start again?))
The Previous Day...
Kat led a sniffling Rain back to the campfire, where the rest of her friends were gathered. Tomorrow was the job into the gang territory...it was going to be dangerous. Something about Kat wanted to enjoy the night while it lasted.
...
She warmed her hands by the fire.
"I'd say we got a few hours till we turn in. How about we trade wasteland stories? Everyones got some...
...I'll go first.
This was about a month before we met you guys. Me and Rain were camping up on this little nook, in a big stone Hill-man, you could see the stars end to end, the sky was so big. It was beautiful."
Kat paused, coughing up a big of green goo-which she spit into the fire, making it flare up momentarily. The Spider poison was clearing up from her lungs, mostly due to Rains treatments. They were both worried about...other stuff. Slow Death was the worst, but most people who actually lived in the Wasteland like Kat did could endure alot of it without getting sick-an ancestors prize of surviving the sky tearing open without a bunker over their head, passed on to her.
"...so, we're just looking-and, I kid you not, we see something-flying in the sky! Like a tiny bunch of lights. At first Rain told me it was an Aeroplane, but then she said it was moving oddly. Like, real fast and up and down and backwards. From what I understand, Aeroplanes can only fly like birds.
So Rain had a different idea-she said it might be a 'Youfoe'. These 'Youfoes' are shaped like dinner plates, shiny silver like a New Canadian Union fullquarter. Supposed to be crewed by little men with grey skin, Rain says-or possibly just little men in black coats and sunglasses-and they're supposed to come from another world. Like, the word she used was...extra-terr-estial, which means not-of-the-Earth. Supposedly they sometimes land and take people up into the black with em for...bad things.
And you never see em again.
Rain told me they might even have visited from the moon, that they're might even be people or things living on the moon, in bubbles-like a fishtank, sort of-right? It could be people or who knows what-farming and learning and and loving and building things. Waiting to come back once everything has settled down. I hope it's good people, smart people who avoided the sky opening up by escaping into the black, and one day they'll come back to help us rebuild, cure the wastes...makes you wonder.
Anyway, the 'Youfoe' just sort of flies into the sky and vanishes, like it was never there-almost like it knew we was talking about it. We never did figure out what it was. What do you guys think about that? Pretty weird, huh?"
Kats version of the story was, naturally, slightly embellished-she had taken Rains somewhat scientific explanation of things and made them larger than life, being a natural tale spinner.
