*** Greta Mosele glances away from the window, turning to Claire. She offers a small smile, pivoting to face them.
Greta Mosele says "Hey."
*** Claire Riley doesn't see the smile, seeing as Greta's face is covered.
Claire Riley says "..Hey."
[LOOC] Greta Mosele: oh is that on LOL
[LOOC] Greta Mosele: void bandana
Greta Mosele says "Wow, nice move."
[LOOC] Claire Riley: oh ok void it then
Claire Riley says "What?"
Greta Mosele says "Surveying the train tracks, for Greta's evil friends..."
Claire Riley says "Don't mind me."
Claire Riley says "It's not like some of them want me dead or anything."
Claire Riley says "Business. You know how it is."
Greta Mosele says "..come on, Claire. We're friends. Don't you trust me?"
Claire Riley says "I do."
Claire Riley says "I don't trust him."
Claire Riley says "...Am I doing the right thing, Greta?"
Greta Mosele says "That's a broad question."
Claire Riley says "Coming here, trying to talk to you. I don't know what I'm doing, anymore. With anything."
***' Clearly enough, Claire looks as tired as she's ever been, almost broken under the pressure. Her hands seem to unwillingly shake, especially her right one.
Claire Riley says "Speakof the devil."
*** Greta Mosele takes a moment to gain a measure of the woman, looking her over - before glancing off to the left, absently. Her hands are sunk in her pockets.
*** Claire Riley side steps to the wall.
Greta Mosele says "..what?"
Claire Riley says "I'll give you /one/ guess who's on the tracks."
Greta Mosele says "Oh, pft."
Alexandre Durand radios in "She's hiding, huh?"
*** Claire Riley folds her arms, taking in a deep, shaky breath.
*** Greta Mosele squints over to the tracks, letting out a lighthearted laugh - completely a mismatch for the scenario. She looks down to her radio, speaking into it.
Greta Mosele radios in "Oh come on, 23, you're being scary. Don't disturb my nice chat."
Claire Riley says "Oh, I'm glad you think it's funny."
Claire Riley says "You said /alone/."
Greta Mosele says "No, no - I don't."
Greta Mosele says "And yes, we are."
Alexandre Durand radios in "I'm prone up here. Can she really see me? Only my scope's visible."
Claire Riley says "We're /not/."
Greta Mosele radios in "Yes, obviously she saw you on her little stroll - go away."
Alexandre Durand radios in "Fucking hawkeyes down there."
Greta Mosele: your*
Claire Riley says "I came here, and left Pavel at Campbell's."
Greta Mosele says "Okay, well I /expected/ we'd be alone."
Alexandre Durand radios in "I'll slink away for a little, but thigh taps are off the menu."
Greta Mosele says "Here, let's go downstairs."
Claire Riley says "I can't believe this."
Greta Mosele says "Sorry, I know."
Claire Riley radios in "I'm here."
Greta Mosele says "Much better."
Claire Riley radios in "I'm fine."
Claire Riley says "I don't know what I'm doing here."
Greta Mosele says "Okay -.. look, are you doing okay? You don't look well, at all."
Alexandre Durand radios in "Ground team, stay prepared for the signal from Greta. I don't think I'll have the opportunity from up here."
*** Greta Mosele reaches a hand over unprompted, moving to seemingly probe the woman's.. nose, with their fingers - albeit, gloved. "Face feeling okay? Wooden stocks aren't really that soft, from what I hear."
Lucas Boran radios in "Where?"
*** Claire Riley 's nose wrinkles, and she shakes her head away, swatting lightly at her hand. "No. It's not feeling okay."
Claire Riley says "Everything hurts."
Claire Riley says "Alice is--"
Alexandre Durand radios in "I'm coming down there."
Claire Riley says "She's wounded. Pavel's wounded. Max is wounded. Sarah's wounded. I'm wounded."
*** Greta Mosele retracts their hand, bringing it back to their pocket. She idles, listening to Claire for a moment.
Greta Mosele says "..what happened to Alice? She seemed fine, yesterday."

Greta Mosele says "Oh, eesh."
Claire Riley says "Drake's dead."
Greta Mosele says "I assume you're okay, from that incident - hopefull... oh, sheesh."
Claire Riley says "...I'm losing my mind, Greta."
Claire Riley says "I'm /tired/. I don't want to be here, anymore."
Greta Mosele says "..I know you don't. I don't want to be, either."
Claire Riley says "There's-- some things I have to do, first."
Greta Mosele says "Claire - come on. If you were serious, yesterday, just let go."
Greta Mosele says "I'm willing to, too."
Claire Riley says "I have to make sure Haven's ripped from the Commander, first."
Claire Riley says "Then we're all leaving."
Greta Mosele says "That doesn't sound very realistic, no."
Claire Riley says "I have a plan."
Greta Mosele says "Should tell me, maybe I can help."
*** Claire Riley brings her hand to her radio, switching the dial.
Greta Mosele says "I-.. you don't seem like you're in the best shape, for something like that."
Claire Riley says "Your people are already doing their part, don't worry."
Greta Mosele says "I don't like the sound of that."
Claire Riley says "Didn't you say you were at war with the Commander now?"
Claire Riley radios in "Hey."
Greta Mosele says "I mean, like I said - we never really cared about the RCA. Inigez was the goal, and he's out of the picture."
Claire Riley says "...He's-- dead?"
Claire Riley radios in "I saw him, don't worry."
*** Greta Mosele tilts their head off to the side, letting out a brief, exasperated sigh. "..no. He's gone, but his life is over, anyway."
Greta Mosele says "He's crippled, in pain, alone. Everyone hates him."
Greta Mosele says "We got what we wanted."
Claire Riley says "...That's a win-win."
Claire Riley says "Because, at least,you didn't kill him."
Greta Mosele says "Probably wishes we did."
Greta Mosele says "But he's gone, we did enough."
Claire Riley says "...Then I could use /your/ help."
*** Greta Mosele wrinkles their nose, frowning for a moment - bringing their eyes back to the other woman.
Greta Mosele says "I thought the plan was to go."
Claire Riley says "...If I leave without tying up some ends, then-- She'll be a problem in the future."
Greta Mosele says "She? Who, 470?"
Claire Riley says "There's Union resurgents to the south, there's the mad Commander."
Soviet has disconnected from the server.
Greta Mosele says "Claire - listen, listen. Okay? 470 was my divisional, a long time ago. Let me tell you a little bit about them."
Claire Riley says "Kaitlyn. I know."
Greta Mosele says "Yeah - overly emotional, not that bright. Starry eyed in terms of morale. She's not really anything to worry about."
Claire Riley says "She's crazy."
Greta Mosele says "Why.. who cares? Just leave it, it's not your responsibility. We're not going south, remember?"

Claire Riley says "...Pavel, Max, Sarah... They want out, too."

Claire Riley says "...They're my family, Alice."
[LOOC] Claire Riley: omit
[LOOC] Greta Mosele: lmao
Claire Riley says "I can't--"
Greta Mosele says "You /can/."
Claire Riley says "They're gonna die out here."
Greta Mosele says "..so might my friends, too. But I'm trying to care about you. I don't need more baggage."
Claire Riley says "Might? Your friends can handle themselves."
Claire Riley says "They--"
Claire Riley says "Everyone's wounded on my side, Greta."
Greta Mosele says "Then they're a liability to travel with."
Greta Mosele says "I can take care of you and Alice, but no more."
Claire Riley says "I love them, G...I can't--"

[OOC] Marcello Passos: where are my forklift fellas at
Greta Mosele says "I trust you, and Alice a bit - but not those other people."
*** Claire Riley runs her hand down her face, sucking in air through her teeth.
Claire Riley says "...I can /handle/ it. I can--"
Greta Mosele says "Please - I want this to work, you know."
Greta Mosele says "..let's be honest, Claire."
Greta Mosele says "Survival wise, out there, me and Alice are going to be doing the work."
Greta Mosele says "It's unfair to put more of a burden on us."
Greta Mosele says "And it'd be harder to sustain the group."
Claire Riley says "They're a not a /burden/, they're /people/ and I care about them. Max found a large cabin to the north, by a lake."
Claire Riley says "They /want/ to leave. And they're willing to trust and move forward with you."
Greta Mosele says "If he 'found' it, and came back, it's already too close."
Greta Mosele says "We're leaving this entire region."
Claire Riley says "It's out of radio range from here."
Greta Mosele says "..no. I'm not staying in this shithole region, near the capital."
Greta Mosele says "I want to go farther."
Claire Riley says "Then we can go wherever, I just--"
Greta Mosele says "Can you look at me while we're talking?"
Claire Riley says "...Please don't ask me to abandon them when they're like this--" She lowers the binoculars, looking to Greta. It was clear she was using them to try and hide tears forming. "I can't lose anymore people...""
*** Greta Mosele 's expression softens somewhat, noting Claire's tears. Relucantly, the woman would open up their arms, beckoning for her to approach.
Greta Mosele says "..here, looks like you need a hug."
Greta Mosele says "Don't need to be crying."
*** Claire Riley wordlessly approavhed, wrapping her arms tight around Greta
Claire Riley says "...I'm tired of losing people, Greta-- I can't--"
Greta Mosele whispers "Listen - it's alright, it's fine. Take a breath."
Claire Riley whispers "I can't keep dealing with it. I can't, it's-- too much for me."
Greta Mosele whispers "I know, I know. Please - just calm down, it's alright."
* Greta Mosele tightens their arms around the woman, gently patting her on the back.
* Claire Riley buries her face in Greta's shoulder, taking a deep breath as she tries to steady herself.
Claire Riley whispers "Alice almost died... Drake shot himself.. and Damian... all of it, last night, I just-- I can't handle this."
Lucas Boran radios in "VVhere is everyone?"
Greta Mosele whispers "..it's okay. We can get away from it all. Alice will be fine, I can help her once we're away."
Greta Mosele whispers "It'll be fine."
Greta Mosele whispers "23 won't be around anymore."
Claire Riley whispers "But I can't leave them, not right now. And-- Sebastijan's daughter is inbound, I-- need to find her and give her things--"
Greta Mosele whispers "..Claire. You're shaking, crying - you can't put all this on your shoulders. I'm sorry, but -.. look, you need to step back, for your sanity's sake."
Greta Mosele whispers "I hate seeing you like this."
Greta Mosele whispers "Please, just let me help you, one more time."
Greta Mosele whispers "You can't solve everyone's woes by yourself."
Greta Mosele whispers "Please - listen to me, alright? You need to take care of yourself."
Claire Riley whispers "...I need to do this, before we go. I-- I have to."
Claire Riley whispers "Please, just-- I need to make sure they can leave safely, too."
Greta Mosele whispers "Claire, you need to listen to me. They can handle it themselves, even if it might take them a while. They can go to that cabin, of his."
Greta Mosele whispers "Worry about /you/, /me/, and /Alice/, for now."
Claire Riley whispers "That's-- what I'm going to tell them to do."
Greta Mosele whispers "They know how to do it, on their own. It's not your job."
Greta Mosele whispers "This is our chance, before things get worse. Remember you told me that?"
Claire Riley whispers "I- I know."
Greta Mosele whispers "..listen. We'll get Alice out to us, tell the others your goodbyes, and go. You can't manage their lives for them."
Claire Riley whispers "She can't move. Not yet."
Greta Mosele whispers "What's her injuries, exactly?"
Claire Riley whispers "...Bullets-- to her legs and stomach."
Greta Mosele whispers "..talk about bad fucking timing, right."
Greta Mosele whispers "How fast can we get her moving?"
Claire Riley whispers "..A day? Two, maybe?"
Greta Mosele whispers "Listen - maybe I can just give her some painkillers, I have a decent amount left, with my stuff. We need to put some distance between us and this place."
Claire Riley whispers "I- I know."
Claire Riley radios in "Pavel."
Claire Riley radios in "...Go get everyone and bring them to Haven."
Claire Riley whispers "...I'll talk to them."
Greta Mosele whispers "..Claire, if you do, don't get cold feet. I'm sorry, but - if you end up bringing other people, I'm not going. Us three is what is best."

Claire Riley radios in "Max, Alice-- Move Sarah, too."
* Greta Mosele releases the woman, carefully, at this point - taking a short step back, but remaining close.
* Claire Riley rubs the back of her nekc.
Greta Mosele whispers "Are you doing better?"
Claire Riley radios in "Yeah. We are. For once."
Claire Riley whispers "...I'm losing my mind, Greta."
Greta Mosele whispers "I know, and the longer you stay, the worse it'll get."
Claire Riley whispers "...I love you, too, you know. You're-- like family. A stubborn, sometimes mean kinda family, but-- family."
Claire Riley whispers "I'd die for you, just like the others."
* Greta Mosele tenses up for a second, face flushing somewhat as she looks away. "Haven't -- heard that in a while."
Sgt.Spooky (RIP Eli) has disconnected from the server.
Greta Mosele whispers "I don't want you to die for me, though. Live for me, alright?"
Greta Mosele whispers "Go finish up, and come back with Alice."
Greta Mosele whispers "Intact."
Claire Riley whispers "...Walk me out."
Greta Mosele whispers "I'll come out with you."
Claire Riley whispers "...I don't trust that Damian's not out there waiting to /graze/ me or something."
