The Road, Ch. 2

[BeeJay]

Quickly surveying the room, Aria grabs her bag and runs for the nearest exit. She prefers a window, but she thinks she can get away through the door.

Rip: Will give Ven a chance to reply.

Sprinting for the door you are suddenly engulfed in something and thrown back into the room. Looking up you see the doorway has been completely swallowed up by the mass that is the landlord's wife. She is easily twice as big as him, over eight feet tall and weighing gods knows what.

"Just where do you think you're going whore?" She leers, drawing a meat clever from the belt wrapped around her stained flower print moo-moo, "Think you can run off without paying your dues?"

[venomouswings]

Seeing Rip go for his gun she drew her own at him. "You're about to say Thena where did you get that gun from? And I don't no." She gives him a wink as well. "I'm just here to get paid my friend, at least you and Joe know how to talk to a lady." She gives a smile. "Trust me Rip I've had a worse than a shotgun pointed in my face today, shame really you seemed quiet the gentlemen. So what do you plan know? Are we gonna sit down and have a drink, have a laugh, or you gonna try and blow the brains out of the girl who hasn't stolen your money." She tilts her head a little pretending to think. "I know which one I'll pick."

[Riptide]

Well that plan just went out the window. He was going to have Athena start pole dancing as a distraction, run back to he garage, grab his bike, ride it into the bar, pick up Athena, then ride into the sunset. Simple and clean. But now- wait l, that was a wink back, she knows he's on her side. He keeps up his tough guy facade while responding to Athena.

"What I'm saying is that if you kill me, you'll get the pit anyway. But if you put the gun away and try to convince me another way, you might not have to go into the pit. Jessi, you should go home, my way of making her convince me is way worse than whatever you got planned. I'm pretty fucked up, you're lucky you never slept with me."
He gestures towards Athena again to make sure she knows that he is bluffing.

[BeeJay]

Falling back expertly, Aria brings her gun forward and aims directly at the cow's kneecap. "I'm paid off, bitch" She fires.

You're shot rings out, hitting true the woman drops to her injured knee and screams in pain, still blocking the door. She lashes out with the cleaver and manages to knock the revolver from your hand but doesn't cut any flesh.

Ven and Rip:

Convince Jessi: 20 best case
Convince Joe: 3, worst case

Looking to Jessi you see is sprawled out on the floor, snoring loudly as she sleeps off the considerable amount of alcohol she ingested in a few minutes. You risk briefing a sigh of relief when you notice the rest of the bar is still watching you intently, fingering weapons as they block the doors.

"Go on then, Rip," Joe laughs from behind the bar with a smile, "Shows us what you got finally, prove you're one of us... or else."

[Riptide]

Rip really dug a ditch for himself this time. He needed to get out of the bar somehow right now. But how? He continued his tough guy act and announces to the bar:
"I'm going home, I want some fucking privacy with this bitch."
Rip points to Athena, gesturing again to reassure her.
"Hey bitch, help me carry Jessi home, or I'll be fucking you with a shotgun shell in each limb."
He goes over to Jessi and puts her arm over his shoulder.
"You better hurry up bitch, or I'll blast your pretty tits off. They're worthless if they are not cooperative anyway."
Rip knew he couldn't just act tough if he wanted to get out of here, he needed to go full psychopath. He sends off one final message to convince the rest of the bar that he is as, if not more, fucked up as them.
"The amount of limbs this bitch has tommorrow will tell you how well she did."
He hopes he didn't scare Athena too much.

[BeeJay]

Clutching her bag, Aria scrambles away from the table and the doorway, attempting to get her barrings. Unslinging the shotgun, she faces the room, prepared to fire at anyone that makes a move toward her.

[exalted]

Rip: will give Ven a chance to reply.

From out of nowhere the naked girl who'd been servicing the landlord comes flying at you, tackling you to the ground and sending the shotgun flying. She straddles your chest, pinning you the ground with her meaty thighs as she repeatedly throws wild punches at your face. Her blows, fueled by panic and desperation, land heavily when they make contact, sending your world tumbling into a black fog.

When you come to, you struggle to open your swollen eyes lids and your face is a world of pain. When they finally open you almost wish they hadn't as they take in the scene before you. The Land Lord's bloated wife sits naked on an oversized bed, knee bandaged, with the girl cuddled up to her, sucking on an enormous breast. You realize you've been hog tied and an apple has been stuffed in your mouth.

"Oh, the little piggy has woken up," she chortles, "You thought you could hide these whores from me, you fucker, you unfaithful piece of shit."

"Please honey," The Land Lord begs from somewhere behind you, "She shot me...I-I need help..."

"Oh you'll get yours... just as soon as I've got mine"
