(( Damn. I just take a little nap and already everyone dumps me, leaving me with a dirty pickup. ))

''Damn pickup.'' I really hated pickups. Especially dirty ones. I shot the lock off of this one, then I broke down the keylock at the wheel and crossed the keylock wire with the ignition one. (( Yeh, I can hotwire in RL ))

(( OK, if I fail, just make me go to wherever you guys are. If I succeed, I drive the car there. ))

Dwarf, considers trying to shoot the lock out of the pick-up, but suddenly remembered something. The Mythbusters busted trying to shoot locks out. Oops. He decides to break a window instead. He shoots out the front driver window. It's safety glass, so it shatters into little pieces. Dwarf sits down and starts to try to hot-wire it. In retrospect, he should have tried to shoot out a window that wouldn't cover his seat in glass. He tries to hot wire the vehicle, but lacks any of the needed tools. In his process of trying, he's caused some damage to the ignition. Defeated, Dwarf returns to the group. (Two rolls involved)

[BigFatDwarf]

(( Wait, since when do you need any tools to hotwire vehicles? ))

[Strife26]

((Last I checked, you'll have to get to the ignition wire via getting inside the Steering Column, you'll probably need something to strip said wires.))

[BigFatDwarf]

(( Well that's easy, you just press it onto the glass remains on the window, (ignoring I have a pocket knife!) ))

(( Also you can use a lighter to melt it. And I think I mentioned back in the hotel one of the dead guys had it. ))

[Strife26]

((You rolled as low as possible. Be happy I didn't have you electrify yourself.))

[WorkerDrone]

((Hoo-ray for not completely frying out own innards then?))

[Strife26]

((I was considering it))

[Aqizzar]

(( You're both wrong anyway.  Virtually any car made after about 1994 is virtually impossible to hotwire.  "Modern" ignition systems are built with exactly that sort of old liability in mind. ))

(( I guess he rolled too low for it to matter, but realistically, he probably could have just found a truck with a dead driver, and taken the keys. ))

[BigFatDwarf]

(( I ♥ you Aqizzar. ))

As the other members of our rag.tag group were talking, what to do, I had an idea. I rushed out of the building and grabbed the first van on the road.

[Strife26]

Dwarf is suprisingly lucky. It's a blue minivan. There's a body in the front seat, but it fell out when he opened the door. It seemed to be one of those cool cars that turns off automatically if you don't don anything with it for too long. It's got 2/3 a tank of gas.


((Sorry, the last car I had hot wiring methods described about was the Grand National. Don't ask why. Someone feel like doing an in context post now?))

((I really am 15, but I'm not at all angsty. I don't think I have mood swings, but I also have very good self control, so if I do get them, they don't matter))

"We should get plenty of soap and lots of metho. Soap because it's a good idea to be clean and metho because it's really useful. It is an effective cleaner and it's very flammable so it can be used as burner fuel and as a fire starter. As for leaving a message, maybe we should do something more visible, like spraypainting it somewhere obvious. And I can cook a bit."

[WorkerDrone]

"Hey Strife. Is there a Music Store anywhere in town? Here at the mall? I uh...left my Guitar at home. No sense in not playing just because its the end of the world."

((I was kidding. Also. "With enough soap we could blow up just about anything. Yup. Just about anything."))

[Archangel]

((It's still important that you know I have good self control))

[Aqizzar]

((It's still important that you know I have good self control))

(( You're a teenager.  Your opinion of you means nothing.  Just kiddin'. ))

((I was kidding. Also. "With enough soap we could blow up just about anything. Yup. Just about anything."))

(( This conclusion took too long to reach. ))

(( And no I have nothing constructive to add.  I'm still blasted from a concert. ))
