A Zone of Excursion [IC Thread / Closed]

[New Sheoth VI]

"Nah, ill pass ill just lay on my back. And yes i would love you screw with dieing peoples heads hell, its porbably just blind dogs or Psdeudodogs worst case senario its a Psy dog."

[Legital]

"Still, I have seen what that can do to people who are new to combat. I have seen many young kids come back from combat as complete lunatics. Screwing with their heads while in combat, your going to probably kill them mentally. So dont do it." Ten said as he leaned back in his chair again, stretching. "This place is truly amazing."

[New Sheoth VI]

"I dont know Ten, im starting to think our meanings of amazing are diffrent. Amazing to me doesnt constanly try to kill me, I would call the demons amazing though. The Raw power, the intelect, the feirceness, and the elegance. Its beautiful. A perfect killing machine."

[Legital]

"Well, Im a scientist at heart. I find this place extremely interesting. The artifacts, the monolith, the mutants, alot of these things should be impossible, but they are not. Thats why I want to join the Ecologists, so I can study these things and help people better understand this place." Ten said as he looked to the stars. "Back home, before I joined the military, I was an amateur scientist. I was just a kid and I fell in love with all of the scientific things and medicine. I wanted to be a Doctor, and the military offered adventure. So what do you know, Im a combat Medic! And now I have traveled here to the zone to learn about all of these things."

[New Sheoth VI]

"Damn Ten, were more diffrent than i thought. As a child i was deamed threat to sociaty so they sent me to military school, there i fell in love with the military. As soon as i got released because it was the end of middle school i rejoined for high school. As soon as that was over i went to boot camp and then went straight into my first war, i got 264 confirmed kills and thats when the man asked me to join DELTA. You know the rest from there."

[Mesarian]

Jason, who was still in the bar, moved to the side of the counter and lent down on it,
"Hey, do you sell any Ration packs or bottles of drink here, or do i need to go eslewhere?"
He said to the man behind the counter, he hoped he would be able to buy what he needed right here.

[Legital]

Ten awoke in the same position he was in from last night. He stood up, stretching his arms and looked out into the town again. It was still gloomy, but now the sun was rising and he could see more of the town. He looked over to see if Mason was still asleep on the ground. He was, still in the same position he laid down in that last night. After watching the Stalkers on the street below walk around for awhile, he went down stairs to check on the others. Jason was awake, talking to the bartender, but the others were still asleep at the table he left them at. There were other Stalkers in the bar now, but most looked weary and some were asleep at their tables too. "Good morning Jason. How are you today?" Ten said as he stepped down from the last step of the stair case .

[Mesarian]

Jason turned his head to face Ten as he came down the stairs, he smiled slightly and then spoke
"I'm good Ten, just trying to see if i can buy us some food - i got 50,000 Rubles for a ton of scrap not too long ago, may as well use it."
As he pulled out a wad of cash from his trouser leg pocket.

Jason then turned back to the bartender but quickly spun back to the Ten once more
"You need anything buying?"

[Legital]

"I could use a sandwich and some water if he sells it. That would be nice, thank you Jason."

[Ruskarkand]

Ferdinand got up from the grass, having snuck out of his sisters den previously, he was holding a Soul Artifact gently, it's blue rays pulsing as they floated around the wound on his chest.
They fixed quickly, tearing and ripping each other part before fixing themselves into alignment.
He gritted his teeth, the process did not go without pain, much unlike the natural fixation from the Lifeblood artifact.

The Demon withdrew the Soul artifact from his body, the pain being too much to bear, he simply got up and placed it in his backpack.
He sighed, looking to the backpack he took with him, he opened it up, inside was a Mercenary Exoskeleton, specially made by the Monolith, as well as a Large Gauss Rifle.
Ferdinand dragged out the suit first, leaving the frame inside, he began to dress into the suit, before he would attach the frame to the suit.

He finished dressing shortly after, it had been a while since he had something on, it felt odd, but he disregarded it, and slipped the Gasmask on, clipping it into place and tightening it.
Ferdinand overlooked the suit, it's urban camouflage suiting perfectly.
The Dragoon took the artifact, and put it in a leather container modified onto the suit.

He picked up the Gauss Rifle, jamming a Battery Magazine into it, before walking into the Rostok DUTY base, disguised as a Mercenary.
"Juri can't be hard to find.." he muttered to himself quietly.

[Ruskarkand]

The barkeep approached the bar, attending it.
"Alright peeps, I am taking rounds here, first come, first serve!"

Immediately, stalkers all over went to the Trader, swarming him with different requests.

[Legital]

After receiving the sandwich and drink from Jason, Ten sat at the table with his fellow Stalkers. He finished his sandwich rather quickly, and he gulped down his entire drink in one quick move. He stretched again and leaned back in his chair, watching all the other Stalkers move about the bar.

[Goldsaver]

Solom did not talk to anyone throughout his stay at Duty; only one thing was on his mind, getting out and going to Freedom. He began to try and look for a way out; he needed to get a better rifle, which could be done once he found Freedom. He needed to get away from that asshole Mason. Most importantly, he needed to get away from these damned fascists. He figured he could walk out the front door. He began to walk towards the entrance, noticing the very large mercenary on the way.
He quickly stopped to talk to the mercenary.
"Sir, I could not help notice that fancy rifle you have there; may I ask where you found it?"

[Yuktova]

"Bartender, I will wait til the line gets a little shorter. Don't want to swarm you with requests from the others." Spoke Nathan. He had awoken from his sleep, fully refreshed. Although, he had a nightmare that two Demons were chasing him, for killing Ferdinand.


Nathan's Dream

"YOU HAVE KILLED MY FRIEND!" screamed the voice.

Nathan then said, "I didn't mean to! I didn't have a choice! Either Ferdinand, or Mason would have died without my help! I had no choice!"

"NO, YOU LIE! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!"

"I didn't want Ferdinand to die! I wish I could have saved both of them!"

Nathan then awoke in the bar, and shrugged off the dream as a dream, not seeing the importance of it in the future.

Juri looked in his pack of cigarettes. In it was just one cigarette remaining. He sighed as he the cigarette into his mouth and lit it. He searched for a garbage bin in which to put the empty package. He eventually found something that looked like a dumpster and threw it away. He took a drag of his cigarette and sighed.

[Mesarian]

Jason, after handing the sandwhich and water to Ten,
bought himself another pint of beer and then wandered over to sit down just across from him.
"So, what do you plan to do with these Ecologists then Ten? Doesn't sound very exciting"
Almost immediatly after speaking he take a rather large gulp from his pint, barely letting the beer touch the sides of his mouth

[New Sheoth VI]

Mason walked over to Juri and noticed him throwing away the pack and said, "Want a cigar, I have 10 more, but its the least I can do after punching you in the throat before."

Mason then reached into his military grade ruck-sak and pulled out a metal case with then cigars in it each labeled 'Cuban'.

He then Yelled, "Hey Jay, come here I want to ask you something!"

[The Kangaroo Republic]

"Hmm? Ah, no, don't need one now. This is my last one." Juri said as he pointed to the cigarette in his mouth, "Man, I really should quit smoking though. But ah well, I can't be arsed to, after having been a smoker for 10 years or so."

[Mesarian]

OOC: Im going to assume you two are just outside the Bar since you yelled

Jason heard Mason's yell just outside of the bar, he immediatly put his beer down and turned to Ten
"Sorry mate, back in a sec"
Having said this he stood up and wandered outside, once out the door he glanced around the building and then spotted Juri and Mason on his right.

He immidiatly walked over towards them
"What's up boss?" He said, waving his hand as a 'Hello'

[Saurisisia]

Carl yawned as he looked around, taking a sip of yet another beer he got. Once he was done with his drink, he decided to walk out and take a stroll around the base. As he began his walk, he couldn't help but note how peaceful it was outside than it was inside the bar.

[Ruskarkand]

Ferdinand looked at Solom, a spark of vengeance ignited, and he wanted to destroy it.
He inhaled and sighed, looking at the oversized Gauss Rifle.
He began to speak, the vocoder and gasmask muffling his voice.
"I've been past the Scorcher, and went to the NPP, I slaughtered the Monolithians and took one of their rifles, and their secret."
He brandished the Gauss Rifle, it was huge, the coils around the barrel glowed a thick red.

"It is a mighty rifle, best you can probably find in the zone, it's power and accuracy are unparalleled, it's price tag is massive, but it is far more devastating than your mind could imagine."
He hauled the rifle up, resting the barrel of the oversized rifle on his shoulder.

"Right, I must be on my way, farewell 'STALKER' " He said, hostile in his tone, he could not hide it.
He walked past Solom, proceeding through the base until he found the bar.

[New Sheoth VI]

"I wanted to know, you up for joining Duty, I think it will be fun. Acutaly, lets walk and talk, I have to slow this guns fire rate down and sell the M203, no point in it now." He started to walk to the bar before he pulled his mp7 out and tossed it to Jason "Take this, i dont need it any more, im going to get a folding stock."

He then walked into the bar

"Hey shopkeep, I need you to make a few mods to my gun. A slower fire rate will be needed, also remove the M203 I want to sell thant to you, and use the money from that to buy silencer I will also be needing a folding stock. hows that sound?"

[Ruskarkand]

Once outside the bar, Ferdinand nodded to the group of Stalkers, keeping the Gauss Rifle close to him.
"Evenin' Gents." he said, as he walked into the bar.
He looked down at the Mercenary Exoskeleton armor he was in, his glowing eyes glaring through the lenses of the gasmask.

He seemed calm and cool, trying to maintain the guise, the only indication that would give him away being his torn wings and pale scales that marr his tail.

[Saurisisia]

Walking around, he noticed a Dragoon wandering around, clad in armor and carrying a Gauss Rifle. Glancing at him, the Therapod greeted "Hey."

[Ruskarkand]

The Dragoon stopped, turning to face Carl.
"Privet Stalker, I believe I have not seen your kind in the zone, are you a local to Ruskarkand?"

He slung the Gauss Rifle over his shoulder, tucking it under his torn wing to conceal it.
