He smiles, as he takes out some cred sticks, but Vrenna quickly waves them away. "I am sorry sir for doing that, however, we do not sell Sugar Pie's here. Never have. Dont worry about the tab, it shall be taken care of, on me...."
(come now though really, wouldnt you agree that that woudl be a good reaction if you had a gf or wife who worked at a choke em down and puke, and she was asked that in that manner? better than being thrown out by some big biker dood, lol)

Lucille comes in from cheching the bus 'See you 're all tucking in - good spot here...
Hows it going Hunter, glad you could make it... Folks, if you havent already, this is Hunter - he will be able to fill you in on the Ranger's regulations so you dont fall foul of some of the 'Species Protection' laws.
Nice shootin back there by the way, thanks!
Were heading up into the cascades - leaving the zoom route coz it strangles the old '90 further up - We'll be visiting a small mining community bout two days north east, Ballastor's place - I'll checkif the roads are clear up to there and see if Vrenna's got any gossip! - you heard of any road-outs recently Hunter?
How about, get comfy for a half-hour, then we'll set off, we'll be spending the night at Falls Park cabins - someone want to draw up a night watch - dont want all the fuel syphoned or squirrells in the chow....
Lucille is quite loud - telegraphing the unimportant bits to the rest of the diner..

'Running the bus on a tour of the area - we will be moving around some places where the we need more than gas to get us through. Big bus like this can attract unwanted attention, like we've just been through. 3000 a day - split, payable upon completion. You can drop off part way, for no pay... I recon 10 days.. An all the beans you can eat

Still leaning back on the chair, balancing it on its hind legs, he looks up at Lucille. "No road outs that i have heard of, but they could come quickly. Its not unheard of around these parts. As for hunting laws. Simple. Dont shoot at it, unless I say you can. And in the elven areas, if something attacks you, dont kill or hurt it. But by all means, throw an elf ranger at it if you find one. " Vrenna even smirked at that one, surprisingly. She must have had some bad run ins with them. or just didnt agree with their philosophy.
"By the way Vrenna, were going to need about 2 dozen glasses. Dont worry, I wil pay for them.."
His head then turned up sharply when Lucillie mentioned the rate of pay. "And there are how many with us again?"

Lowers his head, thinking for a moment to the phone call he had gotten when he was hired as a guide. "Yeah, now that you mention it, I didnt hear anything about splitting it..."

"Well I'm in now . cred is cred and it's a long walk back ." Fryer shrugs gets up and heads out to the bus . He checks arounfd the undercarage to see if he can spot a tracking signal that the ganger may have tacked on to us .

Four-Eyes was busy trying to dry out his jacket and part of his pants with napkins, staying silent during the little exchange between John and Hunter..He just hoped that this will not end in a gunfight..he was not in the mood to get blood-covered. "I am sorry sir for doing that, however, we do not sell Sugar Pie's here. Never have. Don't worry about the tab, it shall be taken care of, on me....' "Forget it, I'll pay for my things, lucky you I'm in a very VERY tolerant mood today...and here's a pointer for you, next time say that you don't have sugar pie dammit, I could have been another psycho....."Four-Eyes looked around and spotted an ashtray on a nearby empty table, he picked it up for the group's table and lighted up a smoke, listening to the others talking about the rest of the day, what's the job, and , of course, the pay. "Dunno guys, it seemed pretty clear to me when I signed up..and since we don't go around carrying nukes or V.I.P.s, must say that's still a nice pay..plus we get to travel! See new and exiting places! Get coffee dropped on us because of a misunderstanding about what I really wanted! Truly we are Kings in commoner's clothing!....""I'm gonna change pants now."(OOC:Maybe you're right about that part Krondax, but I could have said it roughly, but not impolitely.)

Lucille picks up a couple of bags from over the counter - soft white soy-rolls, dozens of them.. twenty minutes-half an hour..? Get some last minute pie in
then heads out to the bus, checking tyres, engine, fuel...
The mountains look sharp and crisp in the high air - always seemed like a fuzzy backdrop before. A few trees off to the side of the flattened area tower thirty and forty feet in the air, deep green orang-brown. white clouds rolling through blueish sky, small yellow blooms of real plants colonising the scrub grass and weeds around the perimeter. A vista, spoilt by the rumble of waggons along the wide grey zooms. Different from the Sprawl.
Who's sitting where guys? and what shifts will you be taking tonight? I will do a first or last coz i'm driving. Roads are clear to the North - sun's up - all aboard who's going aboard!

Stands up chuckling still at four eyes and walks up to the counter, kissing Vrenna as he grabs about a dozen glasses and then walks out to his truck.
Opening up the tail gate, he pulls out the backpack, gun case, 5 gallon jug and brings them onto the bus. "I dont care where I am, but I do have a surprise for when we get on the road."
(OOC: Major problems with computers and IP addresses. so, im going to be spotty for this week online. my roomate is going to reformate both my computers when im at work. hope to be back in a coupld days, but i do have their comps to check stuff out on. kinda)

" 'Change of pants, a few (real) ham and (real) cheese sandwiches, bill paid, cigarette burning, and even got to make an elf look bad..'must say it's going pretty well for me now."
"Yeah..so can I get a light now?"
"Huh?..oh yeah man, no problem"
Four-Eyes lit some trucker's smoke, waving him safe trip. Leaning on the bus waiting for the others to come back, taking time to enjoy the place..no cars who's gonna shoot at you, no whores who's stopping you for a 5 nuyen bang in an alley, no cops to harass you and the air...Fresh air, it's better that filtered air as far as he could tell...Might as well take pictures of the nature he thought, taking a few shots of the trees and nice panoramic view.
Lucille came out and brought him back out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, I'll take dh'last one, 'can't really sleep during the night anyway."
Four-Eyes threw his smoke on the ground and took 2 pieces of chewing gum while climbing out front.
"Doesn't bother no one if I sit here?..and Lucille, mind we stop at that gun shop Hunter said was a little down road? I need some gun oil..."
