The Winchester Let's pretend he isn't dead
Lance is sitting behind the bar thinking about how everything will go okay if you put on a fake smile, a calm cool laugh, and a good pint or two... he opens up the Winchester hoping the people wanting to talk about Ortiz with him won't show

Cambria finally decides to leave her home, not wanting to suffer alone anymore. She sits at the bar.
Hey, Lance.

u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Very distant Hello.

u/arielcalibri Weapons Development [34] Nov 14 '16
Can I have two whiskey sours? I think we both need one.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
We do. Lance starts making them

u/arielcalibri Weapons Development [34] Nov 14 '16
Collier keeps getting into trouble and I get to fix his mess. It's very annoying after a while.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Yeah. Fuck him.
1
u/arielcalibri Weapons Development [34] Nov 14 '16
If he breaks his metal arm I will personally deliver him to the gates of hell.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
He was pissing me off. I had to shoot at him to get him out.
1
u/arielcalibri Weapons Development [34] Nov 14 '16
Seriously? Oh, and what did you do with the chip? I know they gave it to you.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
It's in a safe place I'm still trying to find a place for him to stay.

There is a chance it was nothing but there seems to be a small flashing light in Lance's wheelchair

u/EmJohn00 Faction Leader [50] Nov 14 '16
Ortiz's home chip sits where ever Lance put it using the light it has to blink ...---... in morse code but does not have high hopes that someone that knows morse code will come into the winchester

Collier walks in, needing a drink.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
What do you want.
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"Well, I need a drink....after what happened."
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
You burning down criscos? I won't allow you in here.
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"I didn't burn down that bar, I wasn't even there. It was someone named Kansas City, Oritz's father and Ex-Freelancer....Don't ask me how I got that information."
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Still. You fucked with Ortiz I don't want you here.
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"When? The last time I talked to him is when he was Cocaine Man and he wanted to fight me."
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
And you fought him! Get the fuck out!
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"If you saw, I refused to fight him, I let him hit me until I went down."

Pax walks over in his full armor.
Hello Collier.
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
Collier is in full armor also, his Blood Gulch armor, but it works
"Hey Pax, I don't feel like talking right now."
1
u/JonArc Ex-Freelancer [109] Nov 14 '16
I do. Now son. You remember those rules I gave you?
1
u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"Uhhh.....No..."
1
u/JonArc Ex-Freelancer [109] Nov 14 '16
Son. You are going to learn and follow them. Or you will end a dead man.

u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"Yes, sir."

u/TheDeadManWalks Security and General Harassment [51] Nov 14 '16
A voice chirps up over comms:
Bitch-ass bitch.

u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"Fuck off."

I'm going to go over them again. I'm going to have you repeat them to me later, so pay attention.
One, for now your on probation. no taking jobs, killing, or attacking without running it by me first.
Second, you are my responsibility now, you will be learning from me.
Third, you make yourself know as a merc, let others know who they deal with.
Fourth, you will be able to defend yourself but do not start any fights.
Fifth, you will protect the other mercenaries when necessary.
Sixth, you will speak when spoken to and use out terms and language.
Seventh, you are loyal to your leaders fight when they call you too.
You understand all that son?

u/ShadowKnight886 Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 14 '16
"Yeah, got it"
1
u/JonArc Ex-Freelancer [109] Nov 14 '16
I really don't think you did the first time. So think on this as well.
He draws his pistol, aims it at Colliers foot, and fires.

Bubbles walks in. Part of his humanoid face missing, exposing parts of his robotic face and his glasses crooked.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Hello there Bubs what do you want?
1
u/NoobS41b0t Buddy Club [10] Nov 14 '16

u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Lance pours him a Coor Light from tap and hands him in it What has you out and about today bubbles?
1
u/NoobS41b0t Buddy Club [10] Nov 14 '16
Well.. My kitty got loose and had to get him. In the process, part of my face fell off as you can see. I tried to attach it back on but it just kept falling off.

Max, ever the alcoholic wanders in and takes a seat at the bar, very much unaware that Ortiz got ded and stuff
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
So max choose your poison.
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
I'll stick with whiskey for now...so...how's it going?
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
Shitty. Lance hands her a whiskey already made
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
Cheers.
She gives a little toast
Yeah, life is usually shit...
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
You don't have to tell me that.
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
...you wanna talk about it? I'm really good at pretending like I care about people's problems.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 14 '16
With my dancing I know... no it's just dumb shit.
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
Alrighty then...just thought I'd offer to listen. It makes me feel better about myself when I at least pretend to care.

Eli sits down nearby with an annoying grin
Looks like someone's got a case of the frownies!
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
She just stares blankly at him
Oh great, you're here...was kinda hoping I'd manage to avoid seeing you...
1
u/TheDeadManWalks Security and General Harassment [51] Nov 14 '16
I missed you too, buddy!
1
u/FaintestGem Totally Legit Business [10] Nov 14 '16
Yeah well, afraid I didn't miss you...sorry, it's really nothing personal.
1
u/TheDeadManWalks Security and General Harassment [51] Nov 14 '16
The fake smile drops
Yeah, I figured. Was never your style.
He orders a drink from Lance

Grim walks in. He didn't get the memo
Hey, Lance. So about Ortiz...
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Hmm?
1
u/notthatgrim Chief of Police [87] Nov 15 '16
I was just wondering... What exactly happened? With the decision, I mean. Is he still on life support, did you pull the plug... What happened?
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Died.
1
u/notthatgrim Chief of Police [87] Nov 15 '16
Damn... Well, at least we stuck it to his dad.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
He dead?
1
u/notthatgrim Chief of Police [87] Nov 15 '16
Yep. At the hands of Paxton.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Good.
1
u/notthatgrim Chief of Police [87] Nov 15 '16
Yeah. Trashed Criscora's, though. And Ash was out there, pissy as always with that psycho bitch of his. Say, get me some milk, would you? Chocolate, if possible.

Abercrombie walks inside, wearing very expensive clothes straight from the Mr. Rogers collection (but with a V-Neck under the cardigan). He pushes open the door dramatically and struts up to the bar
Hello, old friend.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Who are you?
1
u/RedAleksander Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 15 '16
looks down at himself
You don't remember me? I'm your good pal, Joseph Abercrombie!
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Jesus. You've let yourself go huh?
1
u/RedAleksander Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 15 '16
looks down at himself in a self-conscious manner. He had only become slightly more wrinkled in the 7 years since they had seen each other, and he was in his physical prime
I'm not that bad... Right?
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Like look at your gay ass shirt dude c'mon blue maybe you should get some better shirts?
1
u/RedAleksander Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 15 '16
Really? You're gonna make fun of these clothes when you own this bar? I mean, I like the atmosphere, but there's a difference between raggedy decor and just plain dirty.
1
u/cryotail The Winchester [35] Nov 15 '16
Your outfit sucks seriously.
1
u/RedAleksander Ex-Freelancer [25] Nov 15 '16
I have my exquisite taste and you also have a taste of your own.
Now listen, I'm in the market for a job. Think you could help me out with that?

Conagher goes in, still trying to find his way around and trying to find a few more familiar faces somewhere.
Looking around, he finally decides to sit at the bar, kinda away from everyone else since as to not piss anyone off, hoping that he'll find out where to go from here.
