To Quinn: "Fascinating about the stone. Multiple methods of teleportation... the world is really changing. As far as a replacement: I could carry none of my gear here, so I have nothing to offer you. In fact, metal weapons are actively repugnant to me."
To Mario: "Perhaps we should investigate the explosion, then. Figure out what's going on."
To Black: "The last thing I saw you saying was that we were happy to be together. This is true, very glad to see every one of you, but I didn't know you wanted a response. Besides, I asked a question and got no response: Where to? We need to get as many supplies as possible. Given how bored we will be, I'd say a lot of video games and systems from Blockbuster and such. Then hit the road... but the question is where."

Raymond will stand in the walkway between truck and trailer and ask "Okay guys where are we going, I dont care where we go I just need to know so I can drive us there."

"I don't have any ideas about where to go, btw Ray how did you lose your eye (to ray) but I believe black was referring to the accidental cold shoulder I gave him a second ago... anyway the video games isn't a bad idea"(to Fred)

"First: Looting as many supplies as possible. Second: Finding out what the hell is happening. We need a place with a good radio signal so Quinn can do some work, figure out what's going on. If we really have to, we can go back to Louisiana and talk to my druid friends. But first, the looting."

"I sacrificed my eye to become a follower of Gruumsh as a paladin of all things, but yeah I gave it up for something bigger than I. If we want video games then lets head to Auburn there is a Best Buy down there and it'll give me an opportunity to jury rig some more stuff to my truck, maybe even get my truck to drive itself."

"Ah, no sweat" Black replies to Quinn with a wave of his hand.
"Though I'd agree the pattern seems to be growing a bit standard...we should have all kinds of guns around from the collection earlier..." he trails off looking to Brian and Ray. The two of them being more familiar with the supply of firearms than he is.

"Sounds good. But first, let's try to figure out why this area blew up. What caused it."

"Yeah I always want to play more brawl...." Mario says to there mentioning of video games.
"Do you have a way of determining that?" Mario will ask Fred as he follows Fred over to where his house used to be.

Brain Motions to the crates, "Quinn, i'll help you open up those weapons crates, the insides of it is filled with civilian fire arms, we raided a gun store and fought this... horrid beast." (horrid beast = Byrant)
Brian looks again to the explosion site, "Unless one of us happens to have a tricorder on hand, i doubt we'd be able to figure this mystery out." Brian gets on the train and mans the ball baring turret, "But if mario said was true, about the ghosts, i'd say now is a prime time to get out of here nice and easy, and then talk about our future destination!"

"Well, Mario, I might be able to get a feel for what the land says. Quinn and Ray might be able to examine the ordinance, blast radius, and so forth. If we look carefully, we might be able to find clues as to who did it. We do it quickly before ghosts arrive."

Brian succumbs to fred's logic, "ok, quickly, but at the very first sign of trouble, we're getting right the hell out of here!" Brian says matter-of-factly, unwilling to leave the turret

Quinn will walk over to the crates and examine selection of weapons while saying " I could look but I was never really talk how to determine such things. the people who are taught are called EOD. I never really learned to fight ghost either so I don't think i'll be much help."

"Yeah, Explosive Ordinance Disposal. But you know enough about armaments and such to make some informed guesses. And do you imagine, Brian, that that turret will harm the intangible? We'll quickly sweep the area, look for fragments and such, bag them in little plastic baggies, secure them in a crate, and try to get them to a CSI or EOD specialist at some point."

"I guess assuming this explosion was actually a bomb, or mortar they would be able to help" Quinn says

Black takes out his recently acquired lightsaber and weighs it in his hand, looking at it curiously.
"I wonder if lightsabers can harm ghosts..." he smiles. His few victories making him curious what else he's capable of.
After a few moments the fact that the rest of the group wasn't there for the looting of whatever it was that he, Brian and Ray had dispatched Black adds "Monster dropped it".

"that's pretty cool, I read a lot of star wars books recently and know how to make a army of jedi/storm troopers etc. if we can get are hands on a Spaarti cloning cylinder and a couple of ysaalmiri"

"Im not so good at figuring out explosive stuff either, Iv got basic knowledge on how to make some home made bombs but I think most of us have that. And as far as making a quick sweep I say do it now because talking is what leaves us open. Also before we leave I need help shoveling a lot of sand into some barrels that will go onto the trailer, and even before we completely leave Grass Valley in any way we need food, there are 7 of us here and I know we all eat like pigs."

"sure, I help with the sand if you give me a shovel or I can use my e-tool but a shovel will be faster" Quinn says

As Mario, Black, Fred, and Quinn examine the site it just seems a black charred mess. You find a few charred bone remains of mostly children. Mario comments that there spirits moved to the afterlife when his did. Quinn finds a black sword case buried under the ash, there are characters he does not recognize on the case.
After a few long minutes the group finds nothing else. The earth does not speak, it is actually incredibly silent near the area. It was caused by no recognizable weapon or chemical. Mario feels no reiatsu, even on remnants of charred bodies in the area. Mario says "Well guys I think this is a bust we need to hurry the ghosts are just about here. Mario gets onto the land train and back into the living quarters.
OOG: quinn that is awesome army of jedi for the win.

Quinn follows suit and once on the train he will examine the black sword case and its contents if any... Quinn thinks silently to himself hopefully it doesn't do anything weird like eat my soul or randomly shoot energy and hit someone or blow holes in the vehicle... maybe I should just think positively...

To Quinn: "Well, even if it isn't either, even if entirely supernatural, they could discern a few things: Tonnage, how radioactive it was, composite elements, how hot it was based on burn patterns, etc. And what does cloning have to do with this?"
To Black: "Come over and help check this area out."
To Ray: "Then stop yabberin' and search."
As he speaks, he bags, feels for whatever natural impressions he can detect, and generally observes the patterns, blast radius, and so forth of the explosion. He bags the bones of the children so that they can be properly forensically identified, as well as sample patterns of ash.
Fred nods at the end. "This seems to be some... blight in the land. The Earth tells me nothing. The explosion blasted all hints of what it was out. This is powerful, we will need to get more experienced people here." He then gets into the landtrain. "I'd recommend Safeway first for groceries, then the Sav-Mart area for Subway sandwich meats and such, then the weapon shops in GV for melee weapons and firearms then Best Buy for video games, then Target and Ross Dress for Less for all the other supplies we'll need. Anything else?"
He also reaches into his arm and hands Quinn a small orb. "Cure Materia. I assume your newfound weapon will have a Materia slot. If not, hand it to Joe. This way, we will have many healers."

Quinn looks up from his study of the sword case and says "why do video games have to be second to last, I think your priorities are messed up here Fred" jokingly then continues to study the sword... " the clones had to do with Black having found the Light Saber loosely since I was referring to a method used by Grand Admiral Thrawn to quickly clone a second army of stormtroopers and later Emperor Palpatine for a second time and with the addition of ysalamiri none of the clones will suffer from a common case of madness that clones usually suffer if produced rapidly" Quinn explains while still studying

"Hey Quin before we take off Iv got something for you, Black gave it to me and so now you can have it."
Ray pulls out a vibro-knife and pulls a green materia out of it.
"Here you go, cure materia, not sure how much it has leveled up since I'v had it but here."

"uh, I know I have to equip it in a Materia slot but I don't know how to use any of this yet or even how I tell if anything I have has a Materia slot so you can hold onto it until I get a handle on this supernatural stuff"

"Damn you guys are finding materia left and right... so ray mind getting us out of here and towards Safeway?" Mario says.
Quinn unlatches and pulls open the case. There is a sword kept in excellent condition. It looks familiar from... somewhere but you cannot quite tell where. When you clutch the hilt you suddenly start picking up on voices but no one is talking.
"I hope moms okay." "I am glad Quinn is alright I was worried." "Shiiit." "Wonder if the last djinn got to Cassidy or not." "Dad should be fine." "I wonder what that sword does." "Im hella gimped on equips I need to correct that." "No one would EVER see it coming!" "Next fight will defiantly be the time I show... show them my moves! hahahahaha!" "The game."
Mario speaks up "Oh and Quinn ill show you how to use materia." he shows you how to put materia into the slot and how to focus your mind into creating the effect.

"Quinn: Think of it as saving the best for last. Second last. Thing. I understood the reference, what I didn't understand was its relevance." Fred in turn hands the Materia he was going to give to Quinn to Joe. To Mario, Fred says, "Apparently workmen keep Materia alongside their tools. True story." Fred observes the sword oddly, thinking, I wonder when I can grow a giant tree out of my head?

weird...I can hear others thoughts some of them are pretty obvious and I know at least two of us just lost the game... I wonder why this is so familiar... maybe I can figure out how to use it or make it be qui3t at least. Quinn now has a look of concentration of his face as he tries to make his 4w35om3 sword be quiet for a minute so he can learn to use Materia.
"thanks for showing me Mario, Maybe I can be a little more help now, oh and Fred the cloning thing was relevent if we ever managed to pull it off you could use anyone including David but I don't really want to hear thousands of monologues all at the same time. No offense black"

Fred says, again with his new, distinctly slow baritone, "Soooooorrry if this is uncooouth, but... What have all of you become? I am apparently a Swamp Thing Druid. Mario seems to be a shinigami? Any racial change on top of being dead? Joe seems to be a Khornate Berserker. I can't identify anyone else's powers, though..."

"No Fred cant you tell I am not a shinigami, I am a baker and these are my baking... knives." Mario comments.

"Hello everyone, I'd be glad to help in whatever is needed, but blood needs to spill soon, The blood god wills it!" Joseph bangs his chestplate and howls.
