Fleetwide Video

[A lot has gone on lately, many different conversations that in some form or another had Furiosa thinking about home. Even her experience ~~headbutting~~ helping Max took her back, and while she has been in the Fleet for some time now, the curiosity about the fate of those they left behind hasn't lessened. It's been unsaid, and she tries not to worry herself about it since there's nothing she can do, but she wonders. How would everyone fare? Who would take up in her stead? The Wives? The remaining Vuvalini? The past week has made it hard to forget about, so maybe if she indulges in dwelling in it]

[She opens a video, looking slightly worn after the debacle with Max's tooth and her own lingering concerns about home, but otherwise she seems to be doing well.]

Does anyone else wonder about the state of the homes we were pulled from? Anyone ... else ... feel like they're missing out on responsibilities?

So. You've been busy.

[Kitty can relate to a world like that.] How long has it been like that? [The word broken makes her think it was better once, but it could just be the hope for better talking.]

As long as I can remember. There are stories about what it used to be, remnants and scraps of society here and there, but nothing exists like it was.

[If you'd really like to know ask Max ~~don't ask Max that's a terrible idea~~]

I saw mine turn, but anyone born not long after would be in your position. [Like Charles.]

I'm sorry, that can't have been easy.

[She knows the pain of losing the Green Place, where she'd grown up, but she can't imagine watching a whole world fall to ruin. She's a little glad she's never had to, even if she's living in the aftermath.]

I doubt it's easy any way you go at it. But you play the hand you get, right? [Even people not from places that are the worst have their struggles, right?]

Swap some cards out, if you're lucky. [She felt she'd been able to do that; work with what she had until she could get something better.]

Hey, it's always worth a try. Maybe keep one or two up your sleeve. [She's not sure if it still plays to the metaphor, but you have to be resourceful in a land low on resources.]

It's worked for me before. [Yup, metaphor still works.]

I hope that comes with a good story.

I suppose it does. I rose up through the ranks of a tyrant until I gained a position driving the war rig, and utilized that in order to escape. [As well as being convinced to help others in the same endevor.]

Nicely done. Must have taken some time. [The long play. Patient. Something Kitty is rarely, so she's impressed.] What's a war rig? [Other than something you drive.]

Seven thousand days. [It's not a number you forget.]

The war rig is a tanker trailer we used to transport water and Mother's Milk to Gas Town and Bullet Farm for trade. Had to be outfitted with defensive and offensive mechanics to fend off bandits and Buzzards.

[You don't have units larger than days?]

I think I can picture what all of those are. The Buzzards though? Some kind of creature or just opportunists?

A tribe. Their territory runs near the Citadel and sometimes they try to raid our convoys.

Yeah, I imagine even with defenses it can be easier getting resources from other people than it is to forage or produce your own in a wasteland.

You find the oases and you connect them. That's the only way you'll get a diversity of goods.

Is that your plan? When you get back.

Possibly. We'd need to find out what things are like at Gas Town and Bullet Farm.

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. You might need less of those bullets of people are taken care of though.

Unfortunately I don't think our world quite works that way. We have have the Citadel under control for now, but the Wasteland is large; if we've at least got the bullets on our side, that's a boon.

Are there a lot of different tribes out there?

There are, and the occasional lone survivor. Under the old rule we'd send out raiding parties to scavenge for supplies and blood bags. Cars, guzzoline, weapons, ammunition.

[She wondered what the Citadel would do now, and if it was true they'd be going back from the moment they were plucked? That would a be a problem she'd have to confront.]

Blood bags? [While there are plenty of medical reasons for such her mind goes to vampires first. This is what happens when you spend too long in Marvel and RP.]

Healthy survivors, used to supplement the half-life Warboys. It's ... not an ideal position. [Another tradition she would need to find a new solution for.]

Wait the blood bags are people not just bags of blood? [That doesn't sound good.] What are half-life Warboys? [She pauses.] Am I asking too many questions? [She doesn't want her to feel like she's being interrogated.]
