March meeting:
The crew was all here. And what a crew it was. The Liberal Crime Squad now sported an impressive 18 members, and that number was growing every day.
The meeting was subdued, but a faint aura of hope was creeping out from the newer members. We had a plan ... a way of income ...
But to continue, we needed more people. Strong people who could use crude melee weapons.
And we needed money. Money to buy a shelter ...
And laws. Without the protection of liberal laws, anyone who stood in the way of The Man would surely be crushed under his mighty hand. They were stronger than the Liberal Crime Squad... but hopefully the people would join them.
The new members, they were eager to fight, eager, fresh-eyed and idealistic, feeling that the plan itself would cause utopia to be realized. The older members, while more pessimistic, were no less keen. They were juiced up on the end goal ... their fight would be hard, and much blood would be shed, but ... it was worth it.
3rd April: Interesting... the Oil Refinery has closed down over the Janitors death ... but today marked the grand opening of a new aluminum factory!! The Boys are scouting it out now.
5th April: Welcome: Lois Tubbs. [10 str Hippie]
6th April: Ehdras returned Lycus' gun today, as he managed to dip into our (now significant) funds to buy two magnums and 6 clips.
7th April: Bad news. One of our valiant troublemakers was approached by the police, ironically while reenacting a police beating. A death squad officer burst into the scene, wielded a M16, and ripped Maria Gleaves body in half. It was a brutal scene, and people left in terror. Although they may be thinking deeply about the benifits of having heavily armed police ... I guess fear will win out today. For now.
RIP Maria Gleaves.
Cindy Brocks also managed to get cornered by a mob. She broke her lower-spine, and will be out of action for 3 months!
On the flip side, Marvin Hall joined us. He has joined the Melee Men (the Men being alliteration only, of course), and have been moved to quell some heat on the Crack house, that our trouble-makers and our hackers have been causing.
And Jimlad completed her first mural. Congratulations!
8th April: Lycus stumbled upon a high agility Mutant: Willow Tenant! We have hired him, and he shall be our big guns for the Melee Men. Frankie Bundy also signed up today. [Roman: You have one new recruitment slot for you to use now]
9th April: Ariel Fairchild joined. She has an impressive amount of intelligence, and will be our new tailor. But first, she needs to learn to pick locks, so she will go with Lycus and learn from the master! We also need a large amount of cloth.
We got front page news again. Yahoo! Although the Aluminum Factory has stepped up their security, so we will have to loot the Chemical Factory for a few days. But apparently the 8th April run was very profitable, with 6 tools destroyed, and 4 weird chemicals looted.
10th April: We met up with Sophie Black, a Mutant. She has great knowledge of law, apparently. I wonder if we can use her as a lawyer, even though she has had no formal training...
Kaitlyn Jenkins joined the squad. One more member before the Melee Men are complete!
11th April: Ehdras ended up confronted with a person who refused to move. He got punched a couple of times, but Ehndras ended up shooting at him twice, before the conservative attacker ended up sprinting away in terror.
[Not a complete update, and 60 hours isn't up yet, so I have time to do another 19 days by then
