The Grandfather of the Reunion

Prologue 2-9

A Yin to her Yang

Starting first memory playback with: A different perspective for enhanced serotonin dose

[A few hours before Hosea and Gordon was kidnapped by a pack of armed bandits, it was a tense morning in the camp. Fear of the cooling plant of the catcher coil exploding really shook the survivors up to their nerves, Sheriff Will and Talulah tried their best to quell protest to leave immediately.]

[Talulah had to restrain herself to...not burn all of the heretics because of the strikes. Preparations for evacuation had already begun when Will ordered the stuff to be moved into the vehicles, so they won't have to bother carrying all of it from the ground. The tents and makeshift buildings were still kept on, and even though there are numerous strikes happening around camp, production is still going on normally.]

[Talulah is...probably too occupied trying to calm herself down to talk to, and Frost is also too occupied trying to cool her down. AJ is currently gathering up the rescue team to bring back Hosea and Gordon. Skullshatterer and W were already on board, in fact they're on Hosea's gun truck right now, but AJ thought to recruit more, as more hands, means more productivity.]

[He knows Faust is too young to join, and even though he did harm or maim somebody in defending himself or Eno, AJ has too much humanity to let the kid join.]

Faust: "I understand. I will keep an eye on Eno, but do please make it back?"

AJ: "I promise, I will, Sasha. Keep Mephisto safe while I go to save some lives, okay?"

Faust: "By the way, Mephisto is not doing a good job hiding his emotions. Perhaps Hosea...really did made an effect on him, I'm...quite amazed. Anyways, I'll... See you soon. I hope."

AJ: "So long, Faust."

[Faust returns to Hosea's former campsite, still kept up, still clean, and still intact. Mephisto is currently sitting on a foldable chair, poking the campfire, trying to entertain himself. Faust joins him not soon after, and not even later, he melts in his best friend's arms like butter.]

[Crownslayer is...currently not in the best mental state for today, most would see her sulking mood quite redundant...for a fourteen year old with abandonment issues, especially since her best friend is currently in a lot of danger right now, not returning in about a day. Quite ironic since Gordon could last a day without her, hell, maybe a few years after his dad died. One shudders to think what kind of depression she went through. Anyways, AJ went to her tent, only to find her, well, cuddling and sniffing Gordon's jacket. While silently crying.]

Crownslayer: *She perks up, and eyes AJ casually, as if nothing weird was happening.* "Yo, need something?"

AJ: "Um... Nothing, carry on..."

[She continues to, well, smell his jacket. If Gordon himself were to see that, wonder what his reaction would be? Well, nevertheless, AJ shrugged that...encounter off, and looks for new candidates. He passes by Talulah, sulking from the stress that's been happening after Svetlana returned with distressful news. She is comforted by Frost, who, after noticing AJ, urges him to pass by.]

[He knows best not to bully a dragon, so he passed by them, not tempting his fate. Eventually, he comes across Daniel Norton, who looks armed up and ready for war, especially with his riot armour, and metal riot shield tied to his left arm, and holding an MP5 on the other.]

Daniel: "I've been watching you looking for new members. I had York cover for me for now. Can I join?"

AJ: "Sure, Daniel, you can join...since when did you get that kind of arsenal?"
