Leon rubbed the back of his neck. He'd been back in his hometown for a few days. So much has changed. He had heard that several of his old playmates had been caught in the crossfire between Gerade's forces and the attackers. Now, was the time to rebuild. Which hasn't happened yet, probably due to the fact that the new rulers were gloried raiders and don't have any money to pay any workers. Pushing open the door of his parents shack quietly, Leon stepped out into the morning wasteland. Stretching his back as he walked, Leon made his way towards the gate. He needed something to dig with. He had heard, from word of mouth with his parents, that Brick might have some. So, to Brick he would go. Rubbing his face, Leon walked out from under the gateway. He had been gone for four years and they still hadn't built a wall. Something else about that had to be done as well. I mean, seriously. Two changes of power since he was gone and nothing had been accomplished aside from a brothel (which he would have to visit later he got the chance) and a drug store. Shaking his head, Leon looked up ahead of him long enough to stop himself from colliding into a nearby women. "Excuse me, miss. Got a quick question. You headin' out again?" Leon asked. Four years under Duke Richard's gave him just enough know-how that you don't wander the wastes alone when you can help it. Might as well ask her. She seems trust-worthy enough. |

Suvarna had only returned to Bucket Town a few hours ago after a short trip out of town. She was brushing down Indira as best she could while the brahmin chewed on some roughage. She hadn't noticed Leon approaching her and flinched a bit when he called out to her. She turned and looked at the young man through the slits in her veil. She spoke with a hint of an accent, her even tone might have reminded Leon of the efforts of a jumped-up Neo Aristocrat, though it somehow rang true with her. "Perhaps. Where do you intend to go?" |

Well this was unusual. An aristocrat vising Buckettown. Probably one of the new settlers here looking to make it rich under this new government. Pushing those thoughts aside, Leon cocked his head slightly back. She was wearing a veil. She was either plum ugly or she liked showing people that they didn't deserve to see her face. That, or, protecting it from the desert. One of the three. "I'm, uh, heading up to Brick. I was figuring that it's safer to travel in groups, ya know?" Leon said, scratching his head. Little bits of sand grains fell off as he picked through his hair with his fingers. "Plus, you kinda look....I dunno, experienced. I mean, It ain't everyday you meet someone with there very own Brahmin." Leon said. Rubbing the left one of the Brahmin's head, Leon looked it up and down. He figured that she must be a trader or something hoping to profit off the current state of Buckettown. Leon hoped that she was one of the 'good' ones, charging fair prices. It seems that most of the ones here now are more interested in lining there pockets than making sure that people have what they need. "So whatda say?" Leon asked her again, looking at the Brahmin rather then her. |

If Leon found Suvarna's veil odd, she found his lack of one even more so: a lily-white redhead under this sun was inviting skin caner without protection, more than his hood likely offered anyways. His appearance and his manner of speech seemed nonthreatening to Suvarna, effortlessly so. Furthermore his destination was one she was interested in as well. Idle chit-chat with locals confirmed that it wasn't idly or ironically named, that it was the place to get bricks. She would eventually need those for a kiln. It was possible that Brick would be a more attractive locale for her business than Bucket Town. "I am heading that way, and would not object to your company on the trip." She was idly curious as to what his business there was, but was certain it would come up on the walk there. No reason to inundate this wastelander with questions before they even set off. "Were you planning to leave presently?" |

"Yep. Was leaving just now." Leon said, focusing his attention back to the women. "But, then I was all like 'Hey! Lets see if anybody else wants to go.' And, well, you did. And now were here." Leon said. Leon stood there awkardly for a moment, before clearing his throat. Turned his attention back to the gate, Leon adjusted his bow on his back and walked forward through the archway. Really, it shouldn't even be called a gate. It was just a single archway that somebody put up long before 'Buckettown' was really Buckettown. Rubbing the back of his head again, Leon turned around long enough to acknowledge that the women was following him. Which, she was. "So, what is your name?" Leon asked as they started to walk in the general direction of Brick. Leon had been to Brick once in his earlier childhood, his father needing to pick up a shotgun, which he still owns. Nice place, albeit a bit...rough for most people's taste. |

((OOC: I don't have a problem with you joining Golgotha. If Hench says its cool, have your character meet us on the road outside town or something.)) The young chemist noted the archer's continued circumlocution with a wry smirk. Barring some kind of extraordinary acting skill, she thought, it made him seem more like a townie and diminished the possibility of him being some combination of rapist, cannibal, and/or robber. Still, she pondered, if she was wrong she had better be ready to shank or immolate him. It was a grisly thought and she shook her head to rid her mind's eye of the accompanying visual. Suvarna adjusted her cloak, hood, and veil then checked Indira's leash before following Leon in earnest. "I am Suvarna Vishnavi," she responded when asked her name "Scientist by vocation, merchant by trade. What is your name sir?" |

((OOC: Ok, this seems interesting)) Roach, inquisitive as ever watched the two from the dirt track that led from the Bucket-Town gates around front. She had spent the last few days milling around and hadn't been hunting for a while. After careful study of the pair's characters, she duly noted that they seemed intent on heading out and that they appeared to be kind folk. She shifted her spear over her shoulder and made her way towards the pair, hoping not to make them jump. "Hello, I was wondering if you people had room for one more, I need to get out and haven't had the chance. What do you say?" She smiled and put her hand forward. "Roach..." |

"My name is Leon R-" Leon began, until he noticed the women with the spear approaching. Catching him by surprise, Leon didn't have time to reach for his bow. Instead, he struck something like a stereotypical Kung-fu pose, his hands shaped in the karate chop style and moving them back and forth. For a moment, Leon looked around, trying to figure out what was going on. Seeing that the new women didn't try to attack her, Leon slowly loosened up. Coughing to break up the awkward silence that crept in, Leon scratched the back of his head. If the new comer was really gonna attack them, then she would have done so already. Oh, real smart there. Leon thought to himself. "So, uh. Yeah. I guess you can come along?" Leon said, a little hesitant. Turning back towards the direction of Brick, Leon nodded once and walked off. Look at the bright side however. You got a two bitches walkin' behind you. When you walk into Brick, people gonna be like 'Daaammmmmmnnnnnn, that dude is fly!' Leon thought to himself, cracking a smile. |

Suvarna had taken a step back when Roach approached, hoping to keep Leon between them in the event that this woman was hostile. Leon's response was comically awkward, Suvarna thought, meaning that he was potentially useless as a deterrent to anyone of ill intent. Fortunately the woman seemed to be a good-natured sort. She shook Roach's hand with her free hand "Roach? How do you do? I am Suvarna. This is Leon," she said confidently, having committed the names she was given to memory. "We are on our way to the town of Brick. If you are headed in that direction, you are welcome to travel with us." |

Roach burst out into a fit of giggles at the funny man's stance, she took the woman's hand and shook it gently, "Pleased to meet you Survana," then she turned to the man and waved, "Smooth," these where obviously good people though their experience in the wastes seemed, questionable, at least, Leon's seemed to, as they walked away Roach joked, "Y'know, when you put your hands out like that all I have to do is grab your fingers and break them right? You would have been beaten up by a girl, bahhaaa!" |

No you can't. Leon thought to himself as he walked onwards towards Brick. I mean, you could hurt my fingers but you can't just break them. Besides, if you did that bitch I'd fuckin' kick yo' skinny white ass. Leon said. Adjusting his hood so that the sun wasn't glaring into his eyes, Leon looked behind him. They were barely out of sight of Bucket-town. This was gonna take a while. Considering that, you know. There was two people following behind him. Including one that seems to want to fight him. Either way, Leon continued to walk. Four days 'till Brick. Might as well enjoy it. |

Suvarna said nothing, but wondered if this (perhaps one-sided) animosity between her traveling companions would be a problem. It seemed to be solely a result of differences in their sense of humor, but she doubted the helpfulness of pointing it out. On the other hand she mused, it could be some of that "sexual tension," that cropped up in her mother's faded, penny-ante, romance books from before the War. Somehow, the cover of a hypothetical book regarding the ginger bowman and his girlfriend Roach was funny to Suvarna. She coughed before the tingle in her throat could evolve into a laugh. The chemist wanted to get her mind of the frankly stupid line of thought so she broke the prolonged silence "What are you hoping to see or do in brick, if you don't mind sharing." The question hadn't been directed at either of them. Indira's heads looked at either traveler. |
