    "America," Justin answers pulling the rifles off of his back and the submachine gun he scavenged along with lots of ammo. "Vault 47, Altlanta, Georgia. I'll trade the poison, the laxatives, and the bug spray, for a rifle and thiiis much ammo." He pushes a handful of the appropriate ammo forward on the ground.

    Abandoned Camp- Cabin #2

    "Deal. Did they complete the Vaults in America? Over here, the Vaults were commissioned by the government when war was inevitable. Vault A wasn't watertight and got flooded by the Thames after a nuke changed its course, Vault B wasn't properly braced and collapsed after a few months, and Vault Z wasn't fitted with a door before the bombs fell. Vault D got several old, unreliable nuclear power generators and only two beds. And that's only the ones I know about." They were all rushed, and incredibly poor work. But they helped save lives, and none had a deliberate social experiment put in place. Of course, only two beds meant one happened in D anyway, but still.

    "Lots of them were. Most of them pretty gruesome ends, mostly because of experiments." He hands off the rifle and the ammo before taking his choices. That's one less rifle off of his back. "Pleasure doing business, but if you're interested in leaving behind the hunger and the wandering and the creepers, I know a place you can live."

    "It's tempting, but I haven't been able to stay in one place since we left the Vault. Besides, nowhere's safe from creepers- they hide in the fields and attack the farmers, in the trees and attack the hunters, and near the rivers and attack the thirsty. Besides, if you know what to look for and where to find it, there's plenty of food. Creepers are often infested with large snails, and they're lovely raw or fried." And so the food chain continues.

    "Disgusting. No, I mean it's literally out of the wasteland, Creeper free," Justin tries to explain. "Technically you're already out of it. You might be able to go back if you turn back straight away, but you're probably stuck in the Nexus now." Way not to sound like a crazy person, Justin. "Real food and water. Real GOOD food and water. Weird people, but they're all good, at least at the camp."

    "It looks awfully like the Garden Wasteland out there. Trees, vegetation, giant snails.... Besides, I don't remember crossing the Channel." He's assuming 'Nexus' is what the Europeans call their wasteland(s), as it's the 'nexus' of the wars.

    "Where's Kansas?" Of course, given the two hundred odd years of post-apocalypse it's possible that Justin doesn't know the answer either.

    "It's a state in America. It's a saying that's a reference to a movie. It means you're in a place very different to your own." Justin begins to put back his bullets and re-sling his rifles. "I'm going to go back home, so this is probably good bye. If you see anything you don't recognize, don't shoot it. Wait and see if it looks like a wolf man or a goblin or a squid man. Yeah I know it sounds crazy, but I have friends that look like that. If you hurt one of them, even by accident, we'd have a problem."

    "Don't worry; the gun's for emergencies only. I've never fired one before, and I don't have many bullets. More bullets than probably everybody in the last two settlements I passed through combined, but still not many bullets. Wait; I'll go with you. You don't know what a creeper looks like, do you?" The man will follow after Justin, loading his new rifle and slinging it over his shoulder and grabbing his spear and knives. Everything else has gone into his bag. The knife he chooses is a large, machete-type job designed for hacking through vegetation.

    "Oh, I'm not following you. I'll just point out a creeper so you know what to look for and maybe demonstrate how to kill one, but then we'll go our own ways. No offence, but I don't know you and I don't want to be led into an ambush or cannibal camp." The tree that was growing through the car has now been joined by eight thick, thorny vines each branching out from a central body making them look somewhat like plant-starfish. In the middle of its central body is a cluster of large purple flowers. The man hasn't noticed it yet, as he's looking the other way.

    Justin indeed notices, because when someone around you spends so much time talking about evil monster plants, suspicious plants tend to stick out. "No offense taken, I thought you were a slaver before I noticed how kind of, pathetically armed, you were." You can't really enslave people with just a knife. "So what do Creeper's look like?" he lightly points over his fellow scavenger's shoulder.

    "Welcome to Britain, where we actually had gun laws before the war. Seriously curtailed the supply of most advanced weaponry like your rifles. Besides, most slavers use clubs, nets and tranquillisers. Stuff that don't kill and don't make noise. Heck, nobody uses guns except as a last resort- too noisy. Could be anything hiding in these trees; feral rad-lepers, creepers, rats, radders, deathclaws, mutts, slavers, bandits, mercenaries, cannibals, etc, etc. We're a bit far from the mountains for slavers, though." The man looks at the car and sees the new vines. "Yep, that's a creeper. Quite a small one; we're lucky. Stay here, watch what I do." He takes a step forward and throws the spear, taking the purple flower off the mutant plant. As it starts to writhe and whips the air with its thorny vines, he steps forward, slashing those vines that get too close. He's not trying to sever them, though he does amputate some. It seems the plant now knows where he is as it starts flailing its remaining vines in his direction, but he ignores them. When he's close enough, he brings his machete down and slices its body in two, causing it to stop moving. "It's safe now; you can get closer. If it hasn't seen you, aim for the flower- that stops it from smelling. Ignore the vines unless if possible; that only lets it know where you are. Cutting it in two like this kills it dead."

    "British army chose to be slightly old-fashioned and kept projectile weaponry as ubiquitous. Any laser or plasma weapons out here's either a large piece mounted onto a defence turret wired into a renewable energy source or on an old vehicle. Hand-held stuff was deemed too fragile and delicate for operational use." That would explain why everything in the bunker was projectile weaponry. "Yeah, maybe. Good luck out there, and keep an eye out."

    "Yes, basically. Shapeshifting, at least where I'm from, is divided into two separate abilities, and it's possible to only have one of the two, like I do. One ability is to absorb shapes, enabling a true shapeshifter to take on that form. The other ability is to actually change shape, like I do. Because I lack the first ability, I'm a latent shapeshifter. Some people have the first ability but lack the second, but it's hard to determine who has it and who doesn't because they can't do anything with it without the other part of the ability." Natalie smiles.

    Also, I've put her birthday in my signature to prevent myself forgetting and to alert others when it is because otherwise I'll forget like I nearly did last year.

    Abandoned Camp- Back to GLoG

    And off they part, neither knowing the name of the other. No killer plants lie in wait on the way back to GLoG, fortunately for Justin.

    Yuki thinks back to her time in the city. "Most of them were tan, but I did see a few who were much darker, black even. I didn't ask them what type they were."

    Yuki saw a lot of people in the city but didn't get a chance to interact with many of them.

    "Black? Really? I don't know of any black-skinned elves. They aren't City Elves, that's for certain, and Wild Elves only enter a city if they can burn it to the ground and slaughter the inhabitants. Sea Elves... Maybe, or Wood Elves. Is it a brownish black, or a bluish black?" Not quite true. Wild Elves would rather slaughter the inhabitants, and leave the city to be reclaimed by nature. Fire's dangerous, and Wild Elves live exclusively in forests.

    GLoG Campgrounds
    There's a bit of poetry in meeting someone and never knowing their name.

    Justin returns to GLoG from his little scavving adventure shambles into the GLoG grounds. He has several rifles strapped over his back, his usual duffle bag is stuffed full, there is a laptop bag over his shoulder, and in his arms is a box with several bottles of booze in it.

    He shambling towards the Main Cabin, but he's free to talk to just about anybody.
