... Nothing is EVER simple. Not a DAMNED THING. Screamer and I were headed to some Church where Screamer's birdies were located. THE GUNFIRE HAS ONLY JUST NOW STOPPED. Guess who? MORIARTY'S BOYS AGAIN. I have seen them twice and I am already sick of them. The one we interrogated had no useful information so I doubt these clowns do either. But let me back up and explain how we got this way.
So we were driving along, minding our own business, when we began to hear loud gunfire. The church was not too far off, so we reasonably assumed that shit was going down. Fortunately, I have Dynamite in the back of the van. So we got close and noticed some heavily armed soldier types in a shootout with a bunch of Nuns. Not having enough time to let this image sink in, we promptly took advantage of the element of surprise and the fact we were technically flanking them by running one of them over and tossing some Dynamite at their position. The ones not turned into salsa fell back while shooting at us. They shot my GODDAMNED HAT AGAIN.
We then took refuge in the church while the Pedophi... I mean Priest, began talking to Screamer. Very dramatically. He looked like he was swatting at invisible flies with the way his hands were flailing. Overactor. I then took note of the Nuns. They had several wounded, but few casualties thanks to a superior position and lots of cover. Moriarty Troops have been harassing us for the past few HOURS. Few casualties on either side, but LOTS of wasted ammo and broken glass.
I have one question. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE POLICE??? There is LOTS OF GUNFIRE. People are DYING. DONUT BREAK IS OVER GUYS COME ON! SERVE AND PROTECT DAMMIT. They would have to cut through the Moriarty Goons to get to us, so we would be able to more easily sandwich the Soldiers and massacre them. But no. They are off arresting minorities or something. Bastards.
But donuts... DONUTS! C: Better yet, killing people while eating donuts. Or eating donuts AFTER killing people. Not before killing people, that's a waste. :I
ReplyDeleteSounds like our guys got the better end of that one. Or maybe that's just what I want to see?
ReplyDeleteSo the only major conflict now is proxies versus Moriarty's people. And we only get to hear things from the perspective of the former. Moriarty really doesn't get PR, does he?
ReplyDeleteEven many runners don't tend to like them. I'm sure that isn't universal... conflict.
DeleteI don't know what you think you're saying. My point is that from what I can see, the proxies aren't doing much evil right now, instead just trying to fight off these kill squads. The kill squads don't have any blogs that I know of. So there's no good reason to sympathize with the kill squads over the oppressed parties.
DeleteIn effect, Moriarty and his people are making the former bad guys look like good guys. That's really dumb if they want the remaining stalked to be on their side.
I'm just going to sit here and not question the fact that YOU had Dynamite just "lying around."
ReplyDeleteLack of Police or general civilian influence in the matter is certainly odd though... But then, I still find it odd those guys never attacked the Cafe while 4-5 high priority proxies were just sorta chillin about there. S'not like they didn't know where it was. Even had an excuse to go in thanks to your hostage guy. Sooo... I'm just gonna say that nothing makes sense with these Moriarty guys... and you should probably throw more dynamite at them... -.-;
What makes you think they know where the Cafe is?
DeleteDo you know where it is?
Also I am using as much dynamite as I can, but they seem to have figured out what I keep throwing. So no major kills with it yet. Makes em fall back though. Which is good enough for me right now.
I'm pretty sure they went in the front door once already and dragged "Joseph" off to fuck knows where. (They eventually let him go for some reason.) That was a about a month before you showed back up though I think...
DeleteI have technically been looking for it though... I thought it would be amusing to stop by. Kind of dropped that line of thought when Red started showing up there though. XP
Where the Cafe is... that's a matter that's rather hard to explain. When I was so rudely taken from my abode, let's simply say, for the sake of simplicity, that it had a somewhat set location.
DeleteNow it doesn't. Which, of course, makes everything bloody difficult.
If you want to stop by, Gargoyle, that's up to my discretion. And I'm going to be tossing honest; you're about as threatening as a soggy pair of trainers. I'm not too worried.
Drop me a line.
I wouldn't be surprised if the cops were paid to turn a blind eye to this.
ReplyDeleteI've been told we have people for that.
DeleteYou're still alive. Commendable. I should fix that.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when people don't have good intellegence reports. The higher ups seriously need to stick some gatherers on that group and not kill the people they're following off right away so we have more warning about these kind of things. Not me though, I'm busy.
