White Castle [Session 18, 3/19/2017]

WANT:
The group started off in Gut Town, everyone reeling from the battle.  Mutant and android bodies littered the ground, with the shell shocked compatriots milling around.  Cupid and Lithium investigate the town more and realize it resembles an outpost like the Facility, but is completely run down.  Lithium is plagued with memories of her past, so she takes stimulants from Cupid to keep herself awake, leading to her assault of a local villager.  Duke barely talks her out of the murder and brings the villager to Cupid to heal.  The injured mutant, Germander, tells them that he can safely lead them through the local zone to the white castle.

Lithium kills someone else instead.  Conveniently Piss found himself in need of a body to feed to Dick Flower and the other moss men, so Lithium did a little haggling and handed over her prize.  

Anyone who was actually sleeping the next morning was awoken by a nauseating sound coming from the white castle, signalling a tear in reality.  The group convened before embarking on their journey, with their new guide.  Want convinced Germander to bring along his own wife and child after suspicions arose that he would betray the group.  
Along the way Germander diffused traps and found a safe passage.  The environment changed as they got closer to the white castle.  Among the pillars of a large aquaduct, giant misty fish creatures swam through the air.  The mossmen set upon one of the large creatures and left only a mummified corpse, similar to the body they had devoured in town, tipping Germander off that he was not with good people.

Lithium looked into G’s soul and saw that he intended to sacrifice the party so that he could get the orb himself, so naturally she attempted to kill him for the 2nd time in 24 hrs.  Want and Duke dove to stop Lithium, she knocked out Duke, while Piss and Cupid hold the family close, with guns to their heads.  They convince G not to betray them and head out.  
The group entered the white castle and Duke inexplicably found a brand new truck parked in one of the hallways.  As they proceeded they heard the sound of rain coming from within the halls.  Lithium peaked around a corner and saw Mecha Grandma (ol maple) and her cronies examining a raining room that stood between them and a room containing the orb.  Piss miraculously pulled a giant grenade launcher out of his saddle bags, just as Lithium tossed a flashbang around the corner.  The onslaught from Piss killed everyone but Grandma, who stumbled back into the rain room.  The rain stopped and she was pulled into the air and wrenched apart by some unseen force.  Want gathers that this was the trap that G was laying for them and runs into the now safe room to grab the orb.  The orb dissintigrates and flows into Want, filling them with a vision of a safe piss pot, but only following the rescue of live oak and the defeat of the railyard.  A glowing Want, delivered this message to the group before absent mindedly tearing a hole in reality and proclaiming “away to live oak!” before stepping inside

LITHIUM:
I would just add that Duke also laid down a barrage of bullets into Grandma's men and then Lithium actually knocked Grandma back into the rain room with her barbed wire bar. Oh then Lithium finally murdered Germander right before they escaped.

DUKE:
Also, I went back and grabbed the truck, driving it through the portal. It is now our only method of transportation...
