Grayditch

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

The scene that presents itself to the people arriving from Milliways is one of devastation old and new. The shattered, weathered remains of what had once been a city street spill out to either side, and half-standing, half-slumping outer walls are all that remain of most of the buildings. There are no people here, no animals, no life to be seen...

Well, no. That's not necessarily true. Here and there, fires burn merrily, and the occasional scratching scuttling sound can be heard on the sullen August winds that wind through the empty streets.

"This is it," Ellen says. "Welcome to Grayditch."

He'll have to remember that thing about the cars. It's not uncommon for vehicles to get smashed when Red is working so he'll have to be careful.

It might also be something he can use if things get rough.

Looking at the headsets Tanya is holding and nods to Ellen.

"You'll probably wanna wear ours." She's leading after all, and he'll just lose it. Or break it. Or both.

The thing with the cars is, well, at least they aren't fission.

"Right Spoon, that makes sense."

"All right," says Ellen, and accepts the headset. "Okay, let's go. Those Pulowski shelters are kind of nasty. I don't want that poor kid to have to wait too long."

(OOC: Shall we split up into subthreads by pair from here, to avoid tagging order troubles?)

"Let's go." Tanya will show them how to operate the headsets: they are military comms gear, so they are made to be easy to use, having push-to-talk and voice-activated modes.

That done, she moves off with Val.
