[b]The man, elderly and balding, turns to her and replies between spoonfuls of food.[/b]
"Hello. Care to introduce yourself? My name is... I forgot again. I used to own an estate here before it was blown to bits by a tank shell."
English
-
Oh, my name's Jenna. Where are you from originally? I don't think many people here are native
-
"I'm a native. The guitarist over there doesn't seem like he's from here. In fact I've never heard an accent like his in my lifetime." [b]The man stops eating and begins drinking the pristine water from the water bottle.[/b]
-
Eh, sounds Russian. Though, those wolf people, I have no idea where they are from. They have a strange accent that I've never heard, they are bipedal wolves... Etc, etc, you know who I'm talking about

[b]Dimitry finishes his song and sets the guitar aside.[/b] "Since all of you have shared very interesting stories I might as well share mine. To make it even more interesting it's also real story so sit back, relax, and let your mind drift off if you want to, I don't mind."
-
*Jenna turns her attention towards him as he begins his story, letting the smell and sound of burning oak wood calm her down a little more*

"It was a normal day back in Russia. I was making my way out of metro system with this gas mask on and rifle in hand. As usual I encountered the same broken city with the same skyline. It was all going as usual. This is the boring part so I'll skip over it. Eventually I saw small ripples in the air on my way back home, I must've gotten turned around because I never encountered them on my way out. So I threw the nearest rock at it which just flew back at me. So I keep going, throwing pieces of small rubble at the ripples until I got to the end, or so I thought. I heard a creaking behind me so I turned around and what do I see? I see a floating car! A taxi nontheless. Seconds later it flew towards me and missed. I didn't even have to move, it just missed. I laughed it off, walked home, and told my story to the bar keep and the intoxicated visitors. Of course, I was a little intoxicated myself. And that is the story of how I had a run in with an anomaly that tried to kill me with a car." [b]He laughs at how ridiculous the story is despite it being true.[/b]
-
That's weird. *Jenna laughs slightly as she looks around at everything, everyone, listening in*

-
Yeah, the only flying thing that I was almost killed by was my own drone. *She points to a large 2 foot wide octocopter drone on her back* Don't get too close to it's blades
-
"I don't think I've seen one of those before. I might've seen a broken one but they usually only have 4 rotors." [b]He sets the guitar aside yet again and begins humming a song that sounds vaguely Russian.[/b]
-
Yeah, I made this myself. It's pretty awesome. Like, if one of the motors break midair the two next to it speed up to counter it. It has a 1080 pixel gyroscopic optical zoom camera
-
"I'm not much of an engineer. If anything I'm decent with firearms and I have a bit of knowledge of close quarters combat." [b]He places his hands near the fire to warm them.[/b]
-
If you like firearms this thing has two pistols on it's sides to fire at enemies
-
Edited by Rimidalv Nisom: 9/13/2016 7:53:38 PM"That's pretty impressive." [b]He takes his own pistol, a Cz-52, out of its holster and takes the magazine out of the gun before showing it to her [/b] "This thing has served me well. It's pretty good in tight spaces and when you need a free hand to hold a flashing or a lighter."
-
Impressive. I've never been good with guns, I had a friend, Lincoln, who did that stuff for me
-
"Can you tell me about the surrounding area? Are there any rare items that sell high around here?" [b]He begins cleaning the pistol of dirt, snow, and any melted snow.[/b]
-
I'm sorry guys. I dunno
-
"It's alright. Now how about I set up a little donation bucket so we can start rebuilding this place? We'll accept Roubles and... Whatever has monetary value here. I might even set up a shop where all purchases go towards rebuilding the place."
-
Well, we really have any type of money, so you're probably good
-
"Well, I've got to get going. Perhaps I can find some rare materials wherever we are so I can make that endeavor reality." [b]Eventually everyone finishes their meal, Dimitry sets up a charity bucket, and eventually leaves, the homeless seem pleased with his actions and continue to keep the fire lit and keep the air filled with the sound of music.[/b] [spoiler]End.[/spoiler]
