Moonlight War

Miranda laughed and said, "You really would have done that for me? Ha!" And then she added, "It's not that I think you can't hold your liquor, but if you drank a whole bottle of wine on your own, you would probably be completely incapacitated!" She ruffled his hair slightly, then sighed and looked up at the sky.

"Wait- where am I getting sent to? Can you explain this whole plan a little more?" Willard asked. "So i comprehend the options better, you know."

 

[Self:.:Pity]

"Aww, on my own? Why would I keep a bottle to wine all to myself, with a pretty girl like you around?" He grinned slightly, and shook his head. "Eh, 'sides, its not as if Im already, basically incapacitated. What with me not being able to get up and all."

Vinn nodded. "Well, every once in a while, these Neoyanks- kind of like me, but with seperate priorities- get themselves into a decent position in the military service. From their vantage points, they are able to arrange pickups and drop-offs and rendevous- sometimes, they use this to pick up healthy loads of capable survivors and drop them off in the wilderness, using yank drivers. Only people like myself, who are in on the whole flawed system, can reserve spots if we have people who meet standards. When you get picked up, they'll breif you on your drop-off and your to-dos, you know, different for every trip. I think they'll take you to the border of the forest in the west, which is a ways off, and drop you around the cliff edges."

 

[Jinx3295]

"I get it now." Willard nodded. "This is interesting. I had no idea you were..."

 

[Self:.:Pity]

"Im surprised you didn't." He blinked. "Why wouldn't I be a supporter? I don't think you guys belong here. I've let loose survivors before."

 

[Jinx3295]

"I always assumed you had mercy on me because I was a success in regards to experiments. I always assumed you had interior motives for your own personal gain. Freedom. I'm stupid..." Willard smiled.

 

[Self:.:Pity]

Vinn laughed, shaking his head. "Im pretty sure I told you I had set people free before. Anyways- I may be working towards freedom, but thats what your working for too, right? So, if I have the chance to set you free, and NOT get caught, I'm going to let you. Yes, Willard, you were a huge success when it came to being an experiment, and yes, I so have.... a soft spot for you. As a person. Its why you run my house like you live in it. But Im not going to just let you out because your you- Im going to let you out because I can."

 

[Jinx3295]

Willard smiled, "you were always awesome, Vinn. Now you're a bit cranky here and there, but thats the old age..." He teased. "You know, you need to get a lady though. You deserve one. I could probably find you one, once we're all free."

 

[Self:.:Pity]

He screwed up his face a bit. "I don't look that old, do I? I mean, I've always been sort of an *ss, but it kind of comes with working with them."

 

[Jinx3295]

"I'm kidding, Vinn. You look like you're in your forties. I obviously wouldn't had tried putting the moves on you a while back if you looked so old." Willard laughed, "I know ladies who'd like you."

 

[Self:.:Pity]

"I don't need any more ladies." He huffed. "I just dont."

 

[Jinx3295]

"Don't you ever get lonely?" Willard said, softly.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Miranda kept laughing and said, You think I'm pretty? Well, there's a new one, I've never gotten that before. Thanks, though. It's nice to know I have one thing going for me." She grinned at him, then said, "Besides what if I get drunk? I mean, then we'd both be completely out, or I could do something stupid!"

 

[Self:.:Pity]

He shook his head. "And even if I was, there would be no way for me to maintain a relationship like this."

He grinned again. "You've already gone and done something stupid. You helped me." He shook his head, and closed his eyes, trying to stabelize himself despite his good face. "Anyways, I think your cute. Pretty, even, but its only going for you if you don't let anyone take advantage of it."

 

[Jinx3295]

"I... See what you mean." He nodded.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Miranda said, "Nobody can take advantage of me. I always assure myself of that, I won't let anyone. I've learned that much in the factory system. The foremen don't get any, and they come up to the hired girls, thinking that with an offer of higher wages and less labor, the girls will willingly give in. Not me. I've gotten offer after offer, and every answer is the same. I'm not going to set myself into depravity that way." She sighed slightly, her expression softening.

 

[Self:.:Pity]

"Good for you." Nick murmured, quietly, settling back on the ground. "Those *ssholes are probably stuffed up to their ears with all kinds of nasty diseases. I wouldn't have done any differently in your position." Letting out a long sigh, he switch the subject softly, to one of the time of day. Night, really. "I'm going to be getting some sleep, honey. You should do the same. Rest up for the trip, and all that."

Vinn nodded back. "So, are you decided?"

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Miranda said, "You go ahead and sleep. I.. Well, I don't sleep well anymore. I've developed insomnia. I go for long periods of time running on pure adrenaline and crappy coffee. I'll be okay staying awake. Besides, I need to watch over you or something, you know?" She pulled her knees close against her chest, not looking tired at all.

 

[Jinx3295]

"... My options... Let me think a bit."

 

[Self:.:Pity]

"You do that." He murmured, backing off. "I understand"

Nick laughed quietly, shook his head. "Well, I may have given you the adrenalin, but you certainly don't have your crappy coffee on hand. Besides- I get uncomfortable when I know someones watching me in my sleep. Thats why I didn't sleep on the cart ride, didn't even close my eyes." He shook his head slightly, looking at her for a moment. "I will sleep better if you sleep."
