Recon let the bickering couple squabble. Personally, he found Jeff ridiculous, but coming from a guy who didn't really care if the target of his affections was a werewolf, he realized he might be a little biased.

"So...could someone fill me in on what happened while I was out? And, while we're at it, where the reaper is?"

Outside Town

Sophia did not answer Garnett but, instead, just kept on sobbing. Red saw Garnett's gaze and just pointed to the skillet that Lynn had given her and mouthed the words "Lynn's dead." Sophia, face still buried, didn't see this.

Lisa and Company

Earl nervously held Lisa's gaze.

"Listen, I would be infinitely glad to have a half-succubus helping us but you gotta tell me how we make sure that a town invasion like this doesn't happen again." he said, lowering his gun somewhat so instead of pointing it at her head, it was now aimed at her torso.

"I don't suppose you three can talk while we walk?" Max said. "And maybe put the gun down. In case you forgot, all hell is breaking loose back there so I wouldn't mind going back to the truck right now."

Despite Arthur missing the robin, Thor yelped and took off after it, chasing it as if he had a chance. And having spent so long living this sort of lifdstyle, the dalmatian knew that if Arthur's second bullet hit the bird and he returned it, he would get rewarded.


Outside of Town
"Good to know, my man," Orion said to Emerson.

It was just a matter of getting to the next town that wasn't a smoldering crater. If he could get along with all those chucklefucks long enough to do that, he could just stick around there while they left.

Outside North gate

Giving Molly only a quick glance due to her protest, Lisa otherwise did not falter from staring at Earl. "If you want that shot to matter you keep it aimed at my head or heart. Anywhere else and you wouldn't have time to reload that thing before you're dead" Goldilocks advised Earl, getting a slightly confused and surprised look from Jeff in the process. "As for the town... We can't. The best we can do is hide me, warn the town of the danger, and hope that that's enough" she continued, a hint of solemness in her voice but otherwise still very serious, to go with her stare-down.

"Now come on, we've wasted enough time. Just because we're not moving doesn't mean Mephisto isn't" Goldilocks told them, turning and starting to move even if Earl kept the gun on her. "I don't know where the reaper is. I only caught a few glances of it from..." she trailed off as she was answering Recon, seeing Rafaella, Clark, and Coline running towards them from up ahead, "... Her again?" Goldilocks seemed especially confused since she was not disguised in the slightest at the moment.

Speaking of up ahead, the robin, seemingly aware of the danger it was in, dived into a bush just off the side of the road, getting Arthur to moan in disappointment. Thor took the opportunity to run right up to the bush and start poking his nose around in it; but then, for who knows why besides himself, Clark deterred from his path after Rafaella to grab Thor by the collar and try to yank him away from the bush. Coline finally caught up to him then, having been slowed by her armor and LMG, and started demanding an explanation rather fervently in French, yelling it loud enough for Recon to hear even where he was. Clark started giving one, but was only talking, thus it was currently out of hearing for the mercenary.

"Hey! Clark what the heck?!" Arthur hollered after seeing the cop try to pull the dalmatian away from the bush; the half runner completely ignored Rafaella, even as he made his way right past her towards the bush as well.


Further Outside Town

Clark was pretty much long gone by the time Pyro asked his question, and thus did not hear it. Flyer shook his head after Sheila's hypothesis. "I wouldn't think so. They started running before the gunshot, and I haven't heard anything over the radio" Flyer pointed out.

"Yeah, and usually we can tell when there's trouble by there being more than one gunshot. Just one gunshot... That could mean a lot of things" Counter added in, sounding no closer to an answer than he was before.

Meanwhile near Orion's car, Garnet seemed to catch Red's message, her face dropping as she realized the source of the younger girl's woes. For a moment she seemed unsure of what to do, but then seemed to remember something; she kneeled down, setting the skillet on the ground before hugging Sophia. "Let it all out now. You've got to be strong, when the monsters come back" Garnet muttered, as if reciting from memory albeit a bit clumsily in her flow of words.

Inside his car, Emerson nodded and glanced out the back window. "Now ya' probably ought to see about regrouping with the rest of the big folk. Looks like they'll be gathering over there" Emerson said, pointing to where the firetruck and Sheila's car (And the van the truck was still towing.) could be seen a bit in the distance. "I'll see about getting the two wee big folk lasses. You get the big folk Red" the gnome told Orion, then left out the open passenger window in a near blur and headed over towards Garnet and Sophia.

North Gate

Rafaella breathed deeply, resisting the urge to facepalm. She said in a loud, almost exasperated voice. "Could you please refrain from harassing my pet robin?" She added. As if on cue, the bird recognized her voice, and in a fast, deft move, dived from the relative safety of the bush into a better place.

Rafaella's bosom.

After grumbling something in italian under her breath, she glared both the dog and the creepy guy with the surgical mask, while she took steps towards the succubus. It was rather telling she wasn't bothered by the appearance of the succubus before her eyes. Eyeing her up and down.

"So that's your problem. You're one hell of a diavoletta." She added, raising her eyebrow." Funny that a succubus asks for others for a cross check on someone." She added as she begun to close her distance with Lisa, her stride becoming suddenly aggressive. "Is it true? Is your maker in this world?" She added, her stare piercing the succubus, while gripping tightly her blessed dagger.

Over the Hills and Far Away Outside Town

Matt just smiled cynically, answering Sheila's dirty look. Not so conceited when one considers spiders as food, aren't you? he though. Tapping his head he sighed, witnessing the scene. "I only see one way of finding out." He paused. "We go back with these chumps towards the gates." He added, and he then moved towards Orion's truck, examining the weeping mess of a man.

"Come on, big guy, this ain't time for tears." He nudged, grunting as he tried to lift Red. "We'll have a bourbon shot later to quell that, but we gotta move first."

Earl glared at Lisa one more time before holstering his gun and marching over to the firetruck, away from everyone.

Outside Town

Red pushed Matt's hands away and stood up gruffly.

"I'm not crying you idiot!" the ex-boxer shouted and Matt could see that wasn't entirely true. Red wasn't blubbering but his eyes did look a bit wet. Lynn and Red might not have gotten along in the end but they still had history together and that was hard for Red to ignore.

"And just who the hell are you anyway?" Red asked, rather rudely to Matt.

"Thor, come'ere!" Max called loudly out at Thor, who tried to break out of Clark's pull.

"Oh Goddamn, not again," he added, hearing Rafaella. "Is there someone in this town who doesn't want to have a word with you, Lisa? You know what, screw it, at this point I wouldn't care if the Pope showed up to talk to you, let's just get to the truck and get out of here." He squinted over at the fire truck, waving towards it. "We're wasting time and who knows what's going to try following us out of town, what with this 'detection' stuff we have to deal with now."


Outside of Town
"Alright, just tell me where to head," Orion told Emerson, putting the car into gear. But then he looked in his rear view mirror.

He stuck his head out the window and looked over at Red and Matt. "Hey, either in back or on the ground, I don't care, but if y'all stand like that you're gonna fall out or have your foot run over."

"Woah! Easy, easy, big guy." Matt added as he took a couple of steps back, treating Red as if he was a grumpy bear. "Name's Matt. And right now, I'm your friend." He paused. "I hate to be blunt, but we can't space out, not yet. We're going to the others and then we're out of this warzone."

He then looked at the driver. "What's his problem anyway?" He added, as he stepped out of the vehicle's reach.

Recon followed the others.

"Hey, not to be a downer on running or anything like that. But, couldn't we, you know, try to stay and fight? Who knows, we could get something out of it. Assuming the reaper's done for."

Outside the North Gate

"What? that's your pet?" Arthur said rhetorically, groaning a bit disappointingly, "damn, sorry... I guess." With a slight shrug and a wave, Arthur turned and started heading back towards the firetruck again. Just ahead of him, Clark let go of Thor now that the dog wasn't going after Rafaella's pet robin anymore.

Goldilocks watched Rafaella approach with narrowing eyes. "You ask as if you already know. It is true, the overlord Mephisto currently walks this earth" Goldilocks started, her tone writhing in suspicion. "But what of you? No normal Human who didn't know me would approach so boldy" she examined, studying Rafaella with her own gaze.

Goldilocks eyes then widened as her mouth fell just a little open. In the next moment, her rapier was drawn in her right hand, and a fireball was in her left. "Not another step!" Goldilocks hissed, starting to back away in a sort of defensive dualist stance; her wings spread out and up, like a bird trying to look bigger than it actually was. With her attention on Rafaella, Jeff quietly positioned himself about ten feet behind Goldilocks, preparing to do... Something. His attention was on Goldilocks though, not Rafaella.


Outside of Town

Besides the arguing adults nearby, Garnet and Sophia's moment was also cut into by the arrival of a certain gnome. "Oi, wee big folk lasses. We cannot be sitting around here, ya ken? We have got to go" Emerson said, his tone surprisingly calm and gentle compared to his usual self.

"Alright" Garnet muttered, patting Sheila's back before breaking the hug. "Come on, you can continue in the car, okay?" she told the younger girl, and would attempt to lead Sophia over to Orion's car, giving Red a bit of a wide birth.

"Good, that speeds up things." Rafaella said, in a slightly cynical and cheery tone. In a deft flick of the wrist she answered her rapier by assuming a combat stance with her dagger. "I was puzzled at first as to why a succubus would act so clearly out of their normal method. Your attempts at sincerity... are clumsy at best, and your planning has gaps and it's rushed. Definitely far outside your usual domain. Not to mention you didn't mask your presence once." Rafaella added, as she kept a defensive stance.

"Now calm down,Lisa or whomever you're called." She paused. "If i wanted you dead, I could have done so easily amidst the confusion."

She sighed, eyeing up the scene. "Truly a ragtag bunch of people. Led by a succubus who is trying to be the heroine of the story." She visiblely relaxed, even chuckling, letting go of her stance. It was useless to keep pretending she was human. "Guess it's useless to keep pretending being just a dancer. Specially after forcing myself to do magic to banish that scythe puppet." She added, her voice sounding in a impossible manner, like if someone had slapped the reverberation of an organ to a womanly voice."Lord Raphael surely will want to hear this piece of news. He might even forgive my undercover breach." She said, a hint of worry in her voice. "Name's Israfel by the way."

Recon silently moved, using the distraction of the two otherworldly beings to position himself unnoticed near Jeff. If Jeff made any sort of move he didn't like, he'd intercept him, probably with a quick hook to the jaw if the action was of a violent nature towards one of their best fighters.

"Oh, good, they're finally coming." Shay said sarcastically, noticing Max and Arthur walking towards the truck. Hopefully the rest would take their lead and follow. Such a hope was dashed when Lisa and Rafealla began their stand-off. Sighing Shay, reclined back in the driver's seat. If the two were gonna have a fight for whatever reason, at least he could enjoy it.

"Counter, you're a betting man, right? Bets on who's gonna win the fight?" Shay asked, getting some cash out. If he wasn't going to give some money for the benefit of the group, then Shay was fine with winning it from him.

Sheila meanwhile was, as always, wasthinking about her profit. If she was going to be sticking around this group, she might as well write a biography, and find out about succubi, all the juicy stuff. With the hook of a half-succubus and a practical angle on the world of monsters, she could make millions. Become world famous. Certainly more than J.K Rowling, or the person who wrote Twilight ever was. All's she needed now was a title, for her life to be set. With a happy smile, she also reclined on her seat, a smile on her face as she thought hard.

Whenever Earl made it to the firetruck, he'd clamber inside, focusing on refilling his empty mags.

"Hey...uh...whenever we're done here, do either you have a bearing on where we'll be going?" Earl asked Shay and Counter.

"You two are just about the only people I can assume are normal around here." he added.

Meanwhile, Red stopped at the firetruck briefly to pick up his backpack that contained his supplies and then went to Orion's passenger side door. When Sophia saw this, she went immediately into the bed of the truck to avoid Red. Her brief bout of anger with her father had gone away but she still needed some space for a bit.

Red sat down in the passenger seat and began refilling his pistol. Orion seemed like a decent enough guy but you never could be too careful.

"Thanks for agreeing to help us out man. Between my ex-wife dying, my kid hating me, this town getting invaded, and pretty much everything, it's nice to know we at least got some extra help with us." Red said to the merchant as he was refilling his gun.

"You moron, you don't even understand how deep in it we are!" Max said, stepping towards Jeff and between him and the two non-humans. He was holding his axe out, upside down, so that it was like a bat. "We can't waste time on your issues when we've got half the book of Revelations five yards away."


Outside of Town
Orion just nodded his head and started heading towards the indicated vehicles. These were some crazy motherfuckers, but he didn't have so many options right now.

"Next safe town east. A merchant gave me a look at a map of hers so I know the route. Loops round but the only other way is through a whole bunch of overrun towns so we won't be going there. No, wait, I suppose all the monsters can go that route, but us humans aren't going to stand a chance." Shay answered Earl, while still remaining focused on the fight between Rafaella and Lisa. He'd had precious little entertainment since the apocalpyse, at least entertainment he wasn't starring in.

North Gate

"An angel?" Jeff muttered upon Israfel's revelation, unfocusing himself from Goldilocks. At this point he actually did notice Recon, giving the mercenary a quick glance; the guy had good spatial awareness, it seemed. However he didn't seem to think anything of Recon's own positioning, and looked back ahead, finding himself face to face with Max.

"What?" Jeff said, genuinely quite perplexed by Max's sudden hostility. "Holy fuck dude, calm down; I didn't even do anything" he pointed out in a clearly annoyed tone.

"If you want to yell at someone for holding things up with their own issues, start by turning the fuck around" Jeff suggested, pointing behind Max at Goldilocks, "I'm not the one holding a fireball and a sword ready to attack someone; I'm the one ready to jump on someone to make them calm down." He glared somewhat at Max with that statement, now considering a different potential target for his maneuver than Goldilocks.

The succubus in question was ignoring all the Humans, (and lycan if you don't count her) focused entirely on the wing-lacking dominion in front of her. Goldilocks had not changed her pose, only her expression changing slightly; it was constantly a mixture of suspicion and tension with a dose of judging, just variations on that. An eyebrow lowering there, frown changing to scowl, then back to frown, while all the while her eyes kept a constant watch on Israfel and her knife.

Finally after at least ten seconds of this, Goldilocks clenched her free hand, the fireball snuffing out. "... I am Goldilocks. I do not claim to lead these people, and I am no heroine" Goldilocks said quietly, slowly standing up straight as she lowered her wings and sword in tandem. She folded up her wings, but did not sheath her sword, only keeping it lowered; her expression remained fairly unchanged. "I'm only interested in setting things right. Something your kin seem to have none for" she added, her tone not simply accusing, but downright condemning.

Arthur had stopped walking after hearing Israfel's angel voice, turning his head back and raising his eyebrows. "So uh, yeah. New girl, angel" Clark said simply, finally coming up beside Arthur. "She helped us take down the reaper, but based on the state that town's in, it looks like that wasn't enough" he added, glancing at Arthur.

"Damn, you guys took out the reaper?" Arthur asked, his voice sounding less impressed than he actually was; that or he was being sarcastic and didn't believe Clark. The half runner's growl of a voice made it hard to tell. "Guess that just leaves the lich" he added like an afterthought.

"Oh. Lich. That would explain it... We should probably move" Clark suggested, and with an agreeing nod, Arthur followed him and Coline back to the firetruck.


Vehicles

Garnet hopped in the back of Orion's car with Sophia, sitting down in the front left corner and and offering a space for Sophia next to her with an open arm. Emerson had climbed up as well, and had taken to standing on Garnet's other shoulder, arms folded and looking out at the open terrain around them.

As Orion's car headed over to the other two, Counter looked over at Shay with a very confused raised eyebrow. "What? Is that even a bet? One's a succubus. What's the other girl got against that?" Counter asked.

"She got a taken man to go running after her with his old girl right there" Flyer pointed out, deciding to continue with that assumption and/or joke. When Earl spoke up, Flyer looked over with a frown. "Oi, what's wrong with me then, yank?" he asked the conscript, his tone apparently serious despite how pointedly ridiculous his fake accent sounded.

Recon sighed.

"The dumbass is right. If the reaper's down like Clark says, we all have a fighting chance of working to take down the lich and getting some sweet loot. If we want to book it, now's the time. But sitting here yelling at each other isn't helping anyone or doing anything except giving us sore throats. Let's make a move already,"

His head perked up, as if he just remembered something, and turned to Clark.

"Err...speaking of loot, you wouldn't perchance have the reaper's scythe hidden away somewhere, do ya?"

"Well maybe she's just trying to avoid having an overly-zealous angel try to zap her with... whatever... angel... magic... and needs to focus on her right now," Max said to Jeff. "And the last thing we need is you jumping in and distracting her with your personal problems."

He looked over at Recon in disbelief. "Do you hear yourself, man? This is real life, this isn't some sort of video game."

"No, really? I thought we were all in the Matrix," he said.

"In case ya missed it, most of us we were brought together by money," he pointed out, then immediately shook his head. "Whatever. Since you didn't hear the first half of what I said, let me say it again: can we please do something? Because sitting here isn't helping anyone."

Matt sighed, and rolled his eyes. Either way, the objective of getting people in the move was achieved. He whistled for Fang to climb up as he took the front seat beside Sheila.

"Let us go, daydreaming is understandeable, but we need to move now." He added. "Golden chance, let us not fuck this up."


North Gate

Israfel tilted her head at two of the spectators, her expression unchanging. "While I appreciate your strong will, you shouldn't foolishly order around beings like us. Not knowing the whole picture can be fatal. Your Goldilocks can't even get in the truck, which is blessed." She shrugged as she took a more relaxed stance. "Following your rude coaxing would end in making things worse than it is. Now shush, I do believe killing that reaper has earned me a reprieve".

She began to walk beside Goldilocks,toying with the knife on her hands.

"While it is true that some of my kin do not think too highly of humans, many others think that humans are strong enough to solve their own problems . How many demons have understimated them and paid the price, I wonder? However, Mephistopheles is bad news. My lord Raphael believes in humanity's strenght, but he knows humans all too well. They can be misled and make critical blunders, hence my very existence. I'm the insurance. " She added as she let her knife up, flames coming from it. Directed at the truck. Cancelling the blessing.

"The question is, while succubus are masters of deceit, the struggle you are bearing is no lie. Nobody would risk this much for the sake of deception... Will you swallow your pride and accept my help, I wonder?" She mused, as she tended a hand towards the demon.

Recon tilted his head in surprise, then held his chin in his palm.

"Blessing a vehicle...gonna have to remember that one," he said, half-admiringly. Then he shrugged, turning to the angel since he hadn't been talking to her.

"If ya wanna take a break to talk strategy, go ahead. To be honest, I...kinda forgot you were there for a little." He rubbed his head sheepishly. "Anyway, creating drama that slows everyone down..." he turned his head to Jeff "isn't as productive."

"Huh? No, we left it back there" Clark said to Recon, pointing back into the town. "We kind of had one man with a leg nearly cut off and a woman with her insides resembling scrambled eggs; priority was to get the hell out of there" he explained quickly and simply.

Meanwhile, Jeff only spared Recon a quick flick of his gaze due to the 'dumbass' remark, otherwise still looking at Max. "I didn't know she was an angel. All I saw was a demon looking like she was about to attack some lady walking up to us. None of you thought it would be a good idea to be ready to stop her?" he asked rhetorically, then finally looked away as he turned away from town and started walking.

"Jesus fucking Christ, you people" Jeff remarked aloud, shaking his head as he walked.

"What do you mean, 'you people'?" Arthur asked in an annoyed tone.

Continuing to ignore the mortals, Goldilocks stayed focused on Israfel, her serious expression broken into some confusion and seeming to nearly gag when she mentioned blessing the truck. "Y- you blessed the truck?!" Goldilocks asked rhetorically, then just kind of stuttered and spattered for a bit, trying to find words to start with and finding none. Fortunately she quieted as Israfel started to move and talk to her again, thus letting her hear what the angel had to say. Goldilocks' eyes narrowed as Israfel talked, until finally she extended a hand to Goldilocks; then her eyes widened... In anger.

"Pride?! Pride!?" Goldilocks started, slapping away Israfel's hand and bringing her wings up again, her expression now one of nearly unbridled rage. "YOU CONCEITED HASHMAL! YOU MISTAKE FURY FOR PRIDE!" she screamed, her rapier pointed towards Israfel again, but Goldilocks kept the wielding hand down by her side.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY HUMANS ARE DEAD AT THE HANDS OF MY KIN?! HALF OF THEIR KIND LIE DEAD, OR WORSE! IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY OF US THEY KILL, WE ARE MADE BY THE THOUSANDS, IN INSTANTS! THEY ARE LOSING, AND JUST ONE ARCHANGEL OR RULER WORKING WITH THEM WOULD TURN THAT AROUND! BILLIONS OF DEATHS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF ONLY YOUR KIN WOULD HELP PROTECT THEM FROM MINE!" Tears were starting to streak down Goldilocks' face as she continued to scream, and her voice cracked a bit, but her expression did not change. Jeff had stopped walking forward, but didn't look back; he was just staring forward blankly, clearly lost in his own thoughts now. Goldilocks just continued screaming. "AND NOW YOU CARE ABOUT ONE OF OUR LORDS COMING TO THIS EARTH TO CONQUER HUMANS?! WHAT ABOUT THE LAST FOURTEEN!? I TRUST THE HUMAN GOVERNMENTS TO DEAL WITH MEPHISTO BETTER THAN YOUR KIN, AND HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE THEM WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGER WITHIN THE WEEK!"

Trembling in her anger, Goldilocks raised her rapier finally, her arm reared back and the sword pointed right at Israfel's face. She held that stance for a few moments, still trembling with her expression unchanged, tears and all. Finally though, her expression evened out somewhat, and she brought her arm around, sheathing the rapier. Her wings refolded as Goldilocks took a moment to wipe her face before looking back to Israfel. "But even still, I would be a fool to refuse your help" Goldilocks muttered, then turned towards the distant vehicles and started walking. "Just maybe you'll be able to change my mind about your kind" she added, her voice switching back to Human as her wings, horns, and tail all morphed back into her body. ((OOC:And there's why Goldilocks still hates angels, despite nearly being on their side.))

"... Wait, fourteen?" Arthur muttered to nobody in particular, counting on his fingers as he mumbled under his breath in thought, following towards the vehicles. Clark and Coline also followed, leaving Jeff behind.

Counter looked over as Orion's car pulled up, and decided to go ahead and answer the man's question simply. "Oklahoma." He then looked at Orion for a few moments, his face scrunching into thought somewhat. "Hey, you look familiar... Have we met before?" Counter asked, not fully recalling the times Gary's caravan had interacted with the EMTR caravan.

As Matt called for them to finally get a move on, Flyer took a step back. "Eh, no offense to you yanks, but I'd rather ride with Mindy than ride with that bundle a' legs again" Flyer said, raising his hands, "I'll go hop in the firetruck if it's all the same to you."

Perking up in the back of Orion's car, Garnet looked around. "Hey, I heard that!" Garnet hollered at him.

"Yeah, and? I'm saying you're a better riding companion than a bloody giant spider. It's technically a compliment if you think about it, right" Flyer responded. (No that's not a misplaced comma.)

Garnet nevertheless looked a bit grumpy. "Didn't sound like a compliment..." she muttered to herself, sitting back down.

Movement in his peripheral vision getting his attention, Counter looked away from Orion and spotted the group from the gate finally approaching. "Alright, it's about time! Look, we got a couple more vehicles and some new people here!" Counter said joyously, motioning to Sheila's and Orion's cars. "Though uh, I suggest you look twice before taking this one" he added with a second motion to Sheila's car, or more specifically to Poison in the back seat. As usual, the giant spider heralded seeing new people by commenting to Sheila about how good of meals they would make.

((OOC:The two groups are now in the same place.))

"Missouri." Red also answered simply. "What about you? Where were you when things first went south?'

Earl gave a rare chuckle at Flyer's outburst.

"Sorry brother. I didn't see you there. You've proven yourself normal in my book too."
