The party had hatched a magnificent plan to overthrow Glue Boy in favor of Harridan the madam. Carlos and Maple stood in the middle of the thunder dome, their enemies slain on the ground at their feet, raising their arms in the air and begging the audience’s attention. Want held firmly to the bars of the cage, suspended halfway up the side of the dome and now feeling the weight of the crowds’ eyes, drawn his way by a shot in the air from Lithium’s gun.
Want delivered a rousing speech, pointing out the cruelty with which Glue Boy ruled and empowering the crowd to rise up and overthrow him. The empowered crowd did rise up… and rip Want from the side of the cage, to carry to a public execution. Lithium ran to her aide, but received a knife to the gut for her efforts. Lithium dispatched her attackers and ran to Glue Boy and his goons to take matters into her own hands. Cupid, who had found himself in the ring playing referee led the charge to free Want of her terrible fate.
Piss and a few thousand maniacs (3) sauntered over to Lithium, in hopes of joining in the fray against Glue Boy. More well armed, they dealt a heavy blow to the henchmen.
Want delivered a final rousing speech with a noose around his neck, turning the mob to her side, and sending them off to fight Glue Boy’s occupied minions. A quick burst of machine gun fire was enough to send those peasant running though, and once again leave the party alone to fight. Want, Carlos, and Maple ran off to grab the cars, since the caper seemed to be taking a darker turn. In their absence, Cupid entered the psychic maelstrom and called forth an amorphous angel, seemingly made of nothing and encompassing everything. Duke welcomed it into the material plane with a hail of gunfire.
Lithium finished off the goons and claimed Glue Boy’s head as her prize as the convoy pulled up to make their escape. She tossed the head into Maple’s car and climbed in behind it.
Cupid made a mad dash for the cars with his own monstrosity hot on his heels. Watching from the safety of the limo, Want saw 3 of her younglings trying to escape the clutches of the angel. Quickly he sprang forth from the sunroof, but judged that the situation was too dire to save all 3. She made the brave, noble choice and kicked out Leonard’s knee from the side, driving him to the ground in a fit of horrible screaming pain and incomprehension, affording Want time to grab the other 2 kids.
As they drove away, cupid watched as Leonard was sucked up by the Angel and disappeared, in a somewhat foreboding fashion.
That night at camp, Piss called Want over to discuss the state of the children, as they were more mouths to feed, and perhaps more trouble than they were worth. After much deliberation, they agreed to keep the kids on as a weapon, and Want would foot most of the bill, with a portion coming from the upcoming sell of some loot at the Railyard.
The following day, en route to the Railyard they encountered an odd fish man posted up beside a lake, with a net full of drowned debris he had recovered. Cupid bought the whole lot, with an odd organ he had found. Lithium fronted 2 rations of food, for the creature to fetch mushrooms for Want, and Piss put in an order with the creature for more high tech equipment from the zones, before the crew made their exit
