Burning Skies Saloon
BdrLineAzn:
BdrLine comes out of the back room and notices Zill and Jun'ko wearing her 'Lily' get-up.
What did Jun'ko do now?
He goes back to the bar and takes a seat.
"Hey there Zill, 'Lily'. So how are you two feeling?"
Skyraider:
--Saloon--
Sky sees Zill wander in, like everyone else, he greets him.
Sky
"Greetings Zill, how have you been these past few days?"
RearAdmiralZill:
-Saloon-
Zill and "Lilly" turn to Bdr.
Zill
"I feel worse then that tar explosion hitting me. Otherwise, hangin' in there."
Lilly
"Her Bdr. I'm just glad to get out of the...er...apartment."
Zill turns to sky and winces from even that.
Zill
"I've had better days. How did your squad fair from the fight?"
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
--Saloon--
Yiski takes another look at the newcomer and shrugs.
Yiski
"Hmm.... if you're up for it, the city could always use more defenders. How are you with rifles?"
Mill
"In my experience, I've been good with mercury rifles."
Yiski
"Hmm... we did lose a few heavy riflemen. Alright, report to the Academy barracks at 0800 tomorrow."
Mill
"Sir?"
Yiski
"You need a job. I've got positions open." *Mill still looking at Yiski with confusion.* "You're lookin' at the Commander of Anvala's Defense."
Yiski pulls out his badge causing Mill to jump at attention and salute. Yiski chuckled, but returned the salute, and motioned him to sit back down.
Yiski
"Do you have a place to stay?"
Mill
"Yes sir. I'm staying at a local shelter. I'll report at 0800."
When Zill came in with 'Lilly', Yiski sighed. He thought it was a risk to bring out 'Lilly' this early, but he'll let Zill take the heat if anything happens. While Yiski knew 'Lilly' was Jun'ko, Lauren was completely dumbfounded that Zill brought another woman with him. She immediately stormed Zill and started yelling at him.
Lauren
"WHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON JUN'KO?!!!"
This caught the whole saloon's attention. Zill immediately pulled Lauren and 'Lilly' to the back room while Yiski was laughing hard. Zill quickly explains to Lauren the situation which they caused. While Lauren apologized for the outburst, she chastised the two for causing trouble and not filling her in on the disguise. When the three popped back out...
Zill
"No worries. Just a misunderstanding."
The regulars knew better than to question anything that happens in the saloon. Yiski leans into BdrLine and gives him the quick version, to which BdrLine simply nodded.
The night goes on and Yiski glances to see Honeybadger sneaking out of the saloon. A few things came to mind. The foremost thought was to use lethal rounds, but decided against it.
Yiski
"Like hell if I'm goin' to cause a mess in my saloon."
--NARRATOR END--
Lance
"Report."
Ghost
"Charges set and in position."
Lance
"Initiate."
Suddenly, a manor outside of Selogorod went up into flames and debris. After the initial blasts, Lance and his Ghosts move in and find the former Commodore heavily bloodied and pinned under tons of rubble. The Commodore mouthed a few words, but were inaudible before he passed. The team did one final sweep to clean up the any survivors. Reports would later deem the incident caused by raiders.
A few hours later, reports of a mysterious explosion occurring at Izumi was deemed to be caused by lingering mine gasses exposed to too much pressure.
--END OF THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD--
--END OF DAY 106--
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 107--
--NARRATOR--
It was a few hours before dawn when Yiski woke up. In shifting around his bed, he also woke up Lauren who was mumbling something. He figured she was complaining about being woken up at this time. Before Lauren was able to audibly voice her complaint, Yiski had already gotten ready to get fresh supplies for the saloon. He leaned down to give Lauren a kiss before leaving.
After Yiski left, Lauren found the willpower to get herself out of bed and made herself presentable. She yawned as she walked out into the main floor and noticed a fist-sized hole in the side wall. Good thing neither her or Yiski knew it was made by Honeybadger, or Yiski would hunt him down. Soon enough, BdrLine came downstairs and waved to Lauren.
Lauren
"Morning."
BdrLine
"Morning." *Scanning the main floor* "Where's Yiski?"
Lauren
"Out to get a few things for the saloon."
--Trading District--
Since the City Center was heavily damaged, the majority of stall markets relocated in a portion of the Eastern District. Yiski didn't have a problem finding the area because there were many stalls set up. The problem was even the stalls were running on short supply. With the lockdown still in effect, resources are rationed out and prices are regulated heavily to prevent gougers. After an hour of searching and buying, Yiski manages to secure enough supplies to keep the saloon running for another few days.
As Yiski makes his way back to the saloon, he thought he'd give Lance a shout to see how things went. The sooner the threat is dead, the sooner the lockdown is lifted, and the sooner Yiski can get more supplies.
