The Grandfather of the Reunion

Act 1-9

The intrepid merchant

Starting first memory playback with: memory of certain day

[After retrieving his fuelled up bike from the comic book store parking lot-where their personal vehicles were still stationed, Hosea finally heads to the west wall, where he discovers the convoy of two trucks-a big one for personnel, and a small one for gunning down bastards-and a bunch of people waiting. Although, perhaps it's just three: Lieutenant Justin, Talulah, and of course, Mephisto.]

Justin: "Ah, finally you came! Cool bike by the way. So...we're ready to save the scout team?"

Hosea: "What are they doing out there anyway?" *He asks, just to get Justin's perspective.*

Justin: "Well, I think it's to detail the conditions of the husks. So far, think they're okay, but I hope they ain't mutating, cause that would be a huge problem to deal with! Especially since we're fixated on fixing that darn coil."

Eno: "There are giant spiders running around!"

Justin: "Ugh. Just what I feared. Well, I don't suppose it don't give you powers when it bites you, huh?"

Hosea: "Other than the power to make you into a statue; no, no it doesn't."

Justin: "Well look at you, Mr. I-know-a-lot-about-spiders. Well, I'll see you at the front. We'll follow ya, but I'll beep when your Pip-boy compass gets all...uppity and you abstain from the path. It gets like that sometimes. Maybe it's the constant electrical emissions brought by that coil, but I'm no electrician."

*Justin then quietly but smugly amble towards the gun truck, which will be behind Hosea's bike. Hosea motions for Eno to sit with him...but-*

Eno: "Actually; think I'll sit with Mr. Hecher. You two can sit by each other!"

Talulah: "Oh; don't you start, Mephisto."

Eno: "Come on! You're just gonna sit with him! Behind him! Maybe hugging him-"

Talulah: "Just so you know, if Hosea weren't here, I'll gut you."

Hosea: "Hey! Be nice! He's ten years old, not ten THOUSAND years old! Just get on the back, you big horned baby."

*Instead of being scared straight-like usual people who got threatened by someone who can literally make her pupils ignite in flames-Eno slipped two smug thumbs up as he back pedals to Justin's gun truck.*

*Hosea tilt nods his head a couple of times, beckoning Talulah to sit by the back. The latter rolls her eyes, pouts, and just roll with it.*

Hosea: "Why so pale? Oh wait."

Talulah: "Just...drive." *She hangs tight on Hosea's ribs.*

Hosea: "Okay. I'm taking the scenic route. The fast and scenic route, apparently the Pip-boy shows the best routes to take. Well, let's ride!"

Talulah: *She tightens her grip.* "Not so fast, please?"

Hosea: "Huh, first time I heard you say the 'P' word so genuinely. Okay, just for you, I'll-SIKE!"

Talulah: "Oh you-AHHH!"

[They proceed to drive towards the location. Temperance is-as usual-still ruined. Houses disheveled and in disarray, the bodies of husks strewn across the pavements, and that cold and misty air due to the town not receiving natural sunlight, and the southern winter season. It would be a miracle if they manage to repair this town back into its former glory. Simone has great expectations for this city.]

Talulah: "You know? Back then, I used to destroy cities...now I help rebuild it... We haven't started yet, but I'm captivated by it."

Hosea: "You're saying you want to turn a new leaf?"
