Part 1: A dusty small town in the middle of nowhere

Clyde:

"Well, Greg might.  He runs the water plant." Sally responded, not knowing much about these mechanical things.

Ryder smiles at the old man, "Alright...  Is there anything else I need to know... uh... I never did get your name..."

[Dracos]

Ryder:

"Greg.  Greg Alpenshen.  Dr Greg Alpenshen."  He scratched his nose.

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder nodded... "Alright Greg... you've got your courier."

[Dracos]

"Thanks...good boy, good boy."

Leets greeted the winged man warily, distracted by his otherworldly looks and the entrance of the eccentric looking stranger who looked as if he stepped out of the history books. He waved to the stranger invitingly, since he looked as lost as he and the winged man probably felt at the moment.

Leets then froze in midwave as he remembered the conversation Jan Smith had when he prevented a fight. "Excuse me? What do you mean 'destroyed'?" he demanded, staring incredulously at the Negotiator.

[RyderHakubi]

"So, you said the Gecko's Tounge?  Thanks Greg..." Ryder said as he pocketed the list, making a mental note to copy it down onto better paper later.

And with a small wave, Ryder turned around... and promptly remembered that his muscles were hurting.

"Owww...."

[Olvelsper]

"Destroyed, gone forever, kaput. This is the world after the end of it all, the Wasteland. People just show up out of the blue here from time to time. Some people I've talked to arrived here when their home worlds were destroyed, others were just minding their own business when they got here. Suffice to say, no one's ever managed to get back home."

Taking a long drink from his glass, he shrugged. "So, that's how it goes."

[Dracos]

"Eh, what's that lad?" Greg heard his owie.

Dracos

[RyderHakubi]

"Forgot... how sore my muscles were... I kinda just got here after all..."

[Dracos]

"Eh, well you can get a room at the Gecko's tongue too.  Rest yourself there and such."

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"B-but, wait, never?" Leets repeated lamely, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"Then what are we supposed to do?"

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder nodded... "Gotcha.  Thanks for the advice, I should do that..."

And Ryder finally left, giving the old man a wave before dragging himself down the street, though at a much quicker pace because of the time he spend standing still allowed for some healing in his muscles.

[Dracos]

Ryder:

Heading down it, he couldn't miss the Gecko's tongue, what with it being the largest building in town.

Dracos

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder dragged his way into the town, and towards the Gecko's Tounge...

Finally reaching it, he took a deep breath and pushed in.
