[IT'S...

IT'S...

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

What a wonderful thing to wake up to! Nothing but destruction as far as the eye can see! A true hell on earth! It was as if all of LeChuck's dreams were coming true. In fact, this had put him in such a good mood that he didn't even mind that his nice pirate clothes had gone missing. Ah, he so did love the smell of brimstone in the morning!]

[A: You might find LeChuck today sitting on top of a pile of rubble that may have been a house once, staring off in the distance. Another Mayfieldian quietly contemplating his own mortality in the face of the apocalypse? Nah, he's admiring the magnificent view. But you can go ahead and think it's first one if you want.]

[B: You can also find LeChuck wandering through what's left of Mayfield, poking through the ruins for... supplies? Weapons? Who knows. When he sees you, he'll offer a neighborly wave and a smile.]

Quite a pickle we've gotten ourselves into, isn't it? You know, I've heard tales of pirate crews who, after being lost at sea for weeks and running out of food, were forced to kill their weakest members and eat them! But I'm sure it won't come to that here, right? We just need to stay positive! [hearty laugh]

[Ruri peers at him with a small bag on her back and shakes her head]

I don't think the town will keep itself like this for that long. Its probably just retaliating for no one eating the Turkey.

Ah, yes, too bad about those turkeys/ All that food would come in handy! But, my dear, perhaps you are right! Why, with all of these smoldering ruins around, we may die of smoke inhalation first!

I doubt it. No, tomorrow there will probably be demands that we all start hunting each other for sport and that will go on for a few days till its everything back to normal again.

[Kaylee gives him a look of pure horror]

That's terrible. Only Reavers'd...

Ahoy there, captain.

[With a medkit around his back among other tools in his pockets, the Doctor gives LeChuck a wave as he approaches him.]

You seem to be in high spirits.

[Marvelous doesn't much care for the landscape. Too many bad memories of fire and explosions. His face shows this as he walks up]

Hmph. Pirates like that just don't have the right resolve. My experience is that you need your WHOLE crew, weaknesses and all. A little starvation is just character building.

If it does come to that I would probably go first. It would be better that you human eat us animals before you start to eat each other.

They do enjoy making us try to murder each other, don't they? They've got quite eccentric tastes when it comes to entertainment!

People are capable of terrible things when they are desperate! But fear not, I'm certain it won't get that bad!... Maybe.

See, that's probably the next step. Tomorrow they will offer things back to people who kill for them, and they'll probably keep us dead.

Now the defense forces will band together and say not to succumb, and that we're above us, and many of them will do so, but there will be a few who go out on a murder rampage and get the better materials. The humane thing would be probably to prepare for that but given this town, the smart thing to do right now would probably be to murder the strong opponents before they know its a game, then pick off the weak ones.

[She shrugs a bit and lets out a disgusted sigh]

I've always found that you've got to keep your chin up if you want to survive! Moping about isn't going to make anything better!

Very true, very true. And what better way to survive than with comrades? We're just about to regroup if you'd like to follow, LeChuck.

You shouldn't even bring somethin' like that up.

[Strokes his chin thoughtfully.]

I see you've been through quite a lot of these little 'events', haven't you? Judging from my own past experiences, I'd say you are correct! And, as heartless as it may seem that your plan may be the sure bet if survival is one's goal.

Oh, I agree! I simply couldn't help but be reminded of anecdotes from back home. Certainly, we are far more abiding than that!

Ah, of course! Strength in numbers! It would be a pleasure to ride this out among friends!

[Oh boy oh boy LeChuck sure hopes they're gonna go on a murdering spree!]

Most thoughtful of you, my furry little friend! But I wouldn't worry your fuzzy ears over it! Er, what was your name?

[YOU KNOW. Just. In case.]

I appear to have struck a nerve! Apologies, my dear, these Reavers you speak of must have been truly terrible!

[Don't bring it up = LETS TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE, apparently.]

[S...someone wants to know his name?? Mesousa is in heaven!]

My name is Mesousa! It's nice to meat you... uh...

[Marvelous likes that. It brings a small smile to his grim face]

Though I suppose starvation at sea and in space are two different things. Still, the fact remains.

Anecdotes eh? If this were a different meeting, I might inquire. But, I have to find my crew member. She's somewhere in this mess. You haven't seen her have you? Short on hair, same kind of face, an affinity for yellow, and fingers light enough to take off with a vault or two?

They're the nastiest thing in all the Black. The one thing I don't miss 'bout home.

The 'Black', eh? Well, now you've got me curious! You must come from a very dangerous land, indeed, if it's full of cannibals!

[Tell him moooore.]

The other option is this is starvation and then, once again, its probably best to off the stronger people before they realize that so that the pick of the food stores can be controlled.

[She shrugs a bit]

This place is all about despair and forcing people to be their worst so I don't expect much.

No, no, mostly it ain't bad at all! Reavers are out there but plenty of folk manage to never see 'em!
