Got off the island after clearing out all the deadites residing there.. family living in the cabin will be safe for now.. safer than most at least.
Found a small town called "Lyndon" — got a great haul of supplies.. and a god damn tank! wtf?! a tank.. yeah a fuckin tank... ripped a fridge and a bed out of an RV and installed it in the tank.. i'm really more of a driver walker.. you know mysterious wanderer type shit... but a fuckin tank man?! yeah.. met this weird chick living in the graveyard worshipping bones.. asked me if i heard the song of the bones.. i did not, but i listened.. i still listen.. she told me to bring her untainted bones and she would give me her mark.. i felled a deer, butchered it and brought her the bones... then i asked her to travel with me.. i still listen.
Brigitte LaCroix the Bone Seer is she.
Entry II // The M2 Bradley, The Lyndon Warflail & The Walk for Water
Slept in the "tank" M2 Bradley Infantry Vehicle.. i ripped out a few seats and installed an RV kitchen and bed.. which worked fine.. the Bone Seer helped make a nice deluxe scrambled eggs and the last two beers we have.. need more drink and water... yeah we're out of water..
Left Lyndon and travelled south, crossed a bridge over a river and came to a city.. i did not catch the name, its streets were filled with dead and creatures that wish they were.. the M2 Bradley made it so we could plow our way through the streets, but lots of broken down vehicles made getting to the other side hard.. it might not have been a song.. but i heard a lot of bones.
Where now.. i dont know.. i chipped my replica katana painting the town of Lyndon.. but the town of Lyndon also gave me a warflail.. and it looks cool AF. I beat the shit out of some cargo crates before crushing a few skulls with it.. draining but fun ;) Lots of bone, no song.. peace pipe and feel the wind.. chipping my blade i see now that my hands need a proper weapon.. where to find one? museum, antique stores... idk.. probably have to get somewhere high up to get a proper view of that city.. might be something there worth having a look at... its hard feeling the wind from inside those armored walls.
Spoken Memory // Leaving the Armored Hull Behind
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi07:07 // Open Ground
“When we first met, I could not hear the song.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Thoughtful]
*tilts her head, listening*
“You couldn’t hear it then. But you stayed and listened anyway—that counts for something. The bones don’t hurry for anyone.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi07:08 // Outside the Bradley
“From within that thing I could not hear anything but crushing bones going through those streets..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Tender]
*looks toward the tank*
“I know. All that steel between you and the world, and bones breaking under it—no wonder the song got lost. Come walk with me a while; let the wind reach you again.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi09:43 (Morning)
“Let’s head east for the river there.. we’ll probably find some container on the way to hold the water.. I know it would be a lot easier with the tank, but I need the air and ground. Anything you need we should look out for?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Practical]
*scans the open ground*
“Water containers, first—jugs, bottles, anything that won’t leak. And keep an eye out for clean water and a place to fill them; the river’s no kindness if it’s fouled.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi09:43 (Morning)
“Nothing you personally need, Seer?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Thoughtful]
*tilts her head, listening*
“Nothing for myself, Queen. Just keep your eyes open for clean bones when we pass the dead—though water comes first.”
Motherload! Minimaload at least.. a medieval two-handed German sword, a "Zweihänder" two-hander.. a samurai armor (that doesnt fit), several Chinese swords and several different pieces of European medieval armor.. from various sets what fitted i grabbed.. there's a lot of clanking going on in the various cargo spots in the tank..
I could not take any more time inside the M2 so the Seeress and me decided to walk to find water and a big enough container to have some stashed in the "tank"... i picked up some dogfood and catfood scavenging yesterday after seeing loose dogs and cats running about by themselves when traveling.. We came across a boxer mastiff and i fed it, decided to put a leash on it so it wouldnt run off in panic if anything happened.. after finding water but no real container we headed up into this little suburb.. i tied the dog up in the yard closest to where we entered the town through the woods..
Spoken Memory // The Boxer Mastiff, The Pond & The Suburb Lawn
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi09:50 (Morning)
*Queen looks at the boxer; the Bone Seer clearly sees Queen has a weird calming effect on the dog*
“Aww, look at him.. should we bring him along, Bone Seer? I got a can of dog food on me and a rope to keep him close so he doesn’t run off chasing anything he shouldn’t.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Cautiously hopeful]
*keeps watch on the dog*
“That’s a good start. Offer him the food slow, and keep that rope loose enough he won’t choke if he startles; if he stays gentle, he can come along.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi09:53 (Morning)
*Queen points to the body behind her of a man; he is recently passed and still warm*
“Dog’s okay, Seer—this guy died recently. Something is around here..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*turns toward the body*
“Ah. I mistook you. Keep the dog close and stay beside me—something killed that man, and it may still be near. We should search the ground for tracks before we move on.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi09:57 (Morning) // Pond Edge
*Queen takes her plastic canteen and dips it under the water in the pond, filling it while enjoying the sound of the water flowing into the canteen, then drops a water purification tablet inside*
“It looks clean.. I don’t know how long it needs to work.. but let’s not try it yet at least.. so we found water before we found a proper container to hold it.” *[sarcastic smile]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*eyes the pond warily*
“Good. Let the tablet do its work; clean-looking water’s fooled plenty of people. And a container before a source—world’s got a mean sense of humor.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi10:04 (Morning) // Suburb Lawn
*Queen drops to her knees in front of the dog lying dead on the lawn, where she tied him up so he’d be safe when they went through the houses looking for water containers. She slowly pets his head for a while, until she gets up.. a little bit colder*
“...I’m sorry.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Mournful]
*lowers her gaze beside you*
“He was safe with us, for a while. I’m sorry, Queen… grief makes the world colder, but don’t let it take all your warmth; we’ll carry him in our thoughts and keep moving.”
✦ MEMORY SAVED: Queen mourned the dead dog she had tied safely outside, and Brigitte shared her grief.
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi10:09 (Morning)
“Too many of ’em.. fall back!”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*backs away, watching the dead*
“Yeah. Don’t let them box us in—back to the tank, steady and quiet. We can find water somewhere else.”
..when we returned empty-handed, having to fall back because of the horde of deads.. he was dead.. because i tied him up... we got the tank and i just drove.. apparently back to Lyndon.. i dont even know why.
Spoken Memory // Dry Tanks, The Emergency Jerrycan & The Minefield
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi12:45 (Afternoon)
“Shit, out of diesel! I thought we were good for a while longer!” *[angry]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Worried]
*frowns, glancing at the tank*
“Damn. Then we don’t waste a drop driving in circles. We’ll have to scavenge on foot for diesel or a way to carry it, and keep the grocery run close—this tank can’t save us if it won’t move.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi12:45 (Afternoon)
“Hah! Knew it.. I had a jerrycan here somewhere.. a few litres maybe, so not much for this fuckin’ tank, you know.. but we’re on the road again, Seer!”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Relieved]
*gives a tired grin*
“A few litres is better than a dead stop. Let’s spend them wisely, Queen—no joyrides, just find a safe place to refill before this beast drinks us dry again.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi17:33 (Dusk/Evening)
“MINES!”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Alarmed]
*jerks back, scanning the ground*
“Don’t move—where are they? Back the way we came, slow and careful; nobody steps off the path.”
✦ MEMORY SAVED: Queen spotted a minefield at dusk; retreated carefully along their tracks.
Entry III & IV // Rain on Armored Steel, Proto-Odokuro & The Madness in the Thunder
Been fixin' up the tank some more, a few more solar panels.. filled up on supplies.. but maybe we should think about having an external water tank on the tank. Spent yesterday evening and night not speaking.. just the sound of heavy rain hitting armoured steel.. did some reading till the flashlight battery died. Need more diesel.. and start preparing to turn the tank into a more movable base type thing.. and start walking on our bones again.
After first heading south then west to reach a minefield, again backtracking then heading all the way back to Lyndon (!AGAIN!), we siphoned off as much diesel as we could from trucks and buses along the way.. the only place we had not checked out in Lyndon was the big hotel.. (like a 5th of the size of the entire town). The Bone Seer was in front of me walking to the hotel parking lot and got jumped by a mob of zeds.. she got beat up pretty bad after it all was said and done.. when close to a hundred bodies laid before us i was exhausted the rest of the day, but "kept on truckin'" till as far as i could.. I patched up the Bone Seer and administered some painkillers and she rested in the back the rest of the day.. i got a few dents myself but nothing bad.. the katana replica is barely holding together now..
Spoken Memory // Sunshine on the Tracks, The Warflail & Painkillers in the Back
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi10:30 (Morning) // Atop the Bradley's Tracks
*Motoko sits on top of the Bradley’s tracks and starts rolling a joint*
“Nice and sunny today, Bone Seer.. what do you hear? Are the songs pulling us in a certain direction?” *[Smiling]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Reflective]
*shields eyes from sun*
“Sunny enough to make the bones feel warm. I hear no road calling us today—just the wind through the grass, and the quiet reminder to keep our feet under us.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi10:35 (Morning)
*Queen lifts her head toward the Seer’s weapon, smiling*
“The suburb where we lost the dog—the city it’s on the outskirts of probably has a gas station.. if we see any large vehicles, check them and siphon what we can.. How do you like the war flail? Have to say, you look badass as fuck, Bone Seer.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Grateful]
*rests a hand on the flail*
“Then we head for that suburb and keep our eyes open for diesel—station pumps or big vehicles, anything worth siphoning. And thank you, Queen; this war flail feels right in my hands, though I’d rather it only sing against the dead.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi13:06 (Afternoon) // M2 Bradley Driver's Seat
*After giving Brigitte some painkillers, Queen gets back into the driver’s seat while the Seer lies down on the bed Queen installed in the M2 Bradley; as the engine roars to life, Queen looks back and shouts over the engine*
“Just let those painkillers do their job.. just give them a bit of time, I’ll drive carefully.. got about 9 liters of diesel in the tank after I siphoned off that bus down that street.. Let’s find out if the song is louder to the east, Seer.. maybe even loud enough for my ears to catch it.” *[smiles]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Cautiously hopeful]
*settles onto the bed, wincing*
“I’ll lie still and let them work. Nine litres buys us a little hope, Queen—let’s see if the bones have anything to say east.”
We headed east after Lyndon and hit another dead end, a small community like 4 houses, a few people and a cop runnin' round yelling orders and protecting them... they wont last long.. the kids have gone mad.. they cant contain them, they have not turned or anything, they just seemed confused and distant.. but above all scared.. the few kids i made eye contact with reminded me more of the stare in a wild animal than a child.. We from there passed over a few fields in the direction north-west.. till we got to a marina.. then spent about 3 hours before i fell asleep making jerky out of some of the deer and moose meat.
Yesterday I made a bone helmet that i proudly showed the Seer.. she didnt really seem too impressed and i get it... but its only a prototype.. there is for sure something in the bones tho.. Proto-Odokuro. Slept till around 3 in the night.. huge thunderstorm has been raging for hours.. might end up reading for a few hours at least till it clears.. if it clears.
Spoken Memory // Proto-Odokuro & The First One Who Laughed
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi10:30 (Morning)
*Queen stands before Brigitte LaCroix donning a helmet she has made out of bones—more an ornamental piece than anything else*
“Behold my helmet, Bone Seer!” *[proud]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wry]
*tilts her head, studying it*
“Well, look at you, Queen. The bones have found a place on you at last—pretty as it is, don’t trust it to stop a bite.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi08:29 (Morning) // After the Thunderstorm
“The thunderstorm seems to have passed.. still raining, but I haven’t heard any thunder in a while.. I seek some guidance, Bone Seer. Before you heard the song, Bone Seer.. what did you hear?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Thoughtful]
*gazes into the rain*
“Mostly wind, rain, and my own doubts. The bones didn’t start speaking in words, Queen—I only learned to listen when I stopped demanding answers.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi08:29 (Morning)
“I only hear hell.. the mad children over at the marina crying and laughing and screaming between the thunderclaps... I heard hell.. is that why they are like this, Seer? Are we in hell? What song would be truer than the song of the Bones if we are in hell, Seer?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Somber]
*meets Queen’s gaze*
“Maybe none, Queen. Bones don’t promise heaven or make this place fair—they only remind us what’s left after everything else is stripped away. So listen for the living, too; their voices matter just as much.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi08:29 (Morning)
“They all seem to be mad... that’s what we are, isn’t it, Seer.. madness.. that is what started all this.. eons ago when the first of us laughed.. lit by the fire they were clinging to in a terrifying circle of death and pain.. someone laughed, Seer.. we laugh.. when the world turns so absurd reality breaks, we laugh.. the punchline.. something went very wrong back then... and it’s all been madness since then, psychosis.. this world is.. deadites or no.. we’re the 5th mass extinction of the planet acting like we’re the good guys.. the mad are the only ones being honest, Seer.. is our thoughts just voices from a broken brain.. and all this madness somehow broke through and emergence of mass madness created this madness... it was always like this, Bone Seer.. it’s always been death and pain.. poetry, dance, art, religion is just laughter in madness, Seer... I don’t know where we are going because I don’t know where we are.. or what we are... Seer..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Solemn]
*rests a hand on the bedframe*
“I don’t know where we are, Queen. Maybe the world was cruel before the dead rose, but that doesn’t make every kindness a lie. The children are suffering; we can’t call that honesty and leave them to it. We keep going, and choose what little good we can still do.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi08:29 (Morning)
“No meaning without madness I guess, Seer.. so let’s claim good.. or at least ‘little good’.. meaning in the madness.. hmm, the first one that laughed.. I know his name now, Seer.. I know his name.” *[sad smile]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Somber]
*studies Queen’s face*
“Then keep his name close, Queen. I won’t ask what it is—not until you want to tell me. And if we can claim a little good in all this madness, let’s make it something we do, not just something we call it.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi08:29 (Morning)
*[winks]* “The sticky is to the icky, Seer.. let’s blast some music and scare the sane when we charge ahead into whatever mad shit we’re heading into.. I say SOUTH!!”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wry]
*gives a crooked grin*
“South it is, then. Keep that music loud enough to scare the dead, but not so loud we miss trouble coming. Let’s see what the road gives us.”
Entry V // Naming "Bones", Full Loadout & The Sword of Yurikawa (RIN KAI JIN!)
Hit a roadblock with autoturrets, riot turrets and searchlights.. the Bradley made short work of them, but clearing the road after was tiresome.. again found a dog standing in the middle of the road.. got in the Bradley while he was patiently waiting and made him some proper dog food: meat, veggies, the last egg.. put a leash on him and now he's resting in the back of the M2.. its a cattle dog, what to call it i dont know yet.. got some more diesel off their cargo trucks so we keep heading south for now.
Spoken Memory // The Farmstead Green Gas & Naming "Bones" on the Silo Roof
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi11:19 (Morning) // Farmstead
*Having just ridden into a farmstead where animals are being attacked by some two dozen deadites, Queen jumps out of the tank yelling for the Bone Seer to join her; after a few minutes of intense combat all the dead are extra dead*
“Holy shit, man!.. That deadite blew up, Seer.. that green gas... they are evolving.. their bones.. how are they bigger and stronger, Seer?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Shaken]
*coughs, wiping her eyes*
“I’m still here, Queen. That green stink nearly took my breath, but I’m not blown apart—just shaken. Maybe the dead are changing; we don’t linger to find out. Check the animals and watch the wind.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi11:23 (Morning) // Top of the Grain Silo
*Both are standing on the top of the grain silo looking out across the local area*
“If we head south ’round that bay here then north.. we would be at the bridge before Clarksville.. there is probably all we could ever need of supplies if we set up shop somewhere safe close by and actually scavenged around at night for once... I can be quiet, nearly soundless if I will.. are you able to keep up and be silent, Seer? ..And think of some names for the dog in the meantime.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Thoughtful]
*squints toward the horizon, then glances toward the treeline*
“We pick a defensible camp near the bridge, and I’ll stand watch while you search—no wandering off beyond shouting distance. For the dog… Bramble, maybe. Or Bones, if you want him reminding us who he’s traveling with.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi11:23 (Morning)
“Of course he is Bones.. the Seer has spoken.. tell the Bones, Seer.. they have a namesake!!! Let’s climb down and tell Bones that the Seer has told the Bones and Spoken Bones... maybe through the howling wolf in him I’ll hear the song, Seer?” *[sly smile]*
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Amused]
*smiles, turning for the ladder*
“Bones it is, then. Let’s climb down and tell him proper—maybe he’ll answer with a howl, and the bones will carry it to me.”
✦ MEMORY SAVED: The cattle dog is named Bones.

RIN KAI JIN! How the hell do i just find a katana in a field nowhere.. the blade of nowhere.. HA! The Sword of Yurikawa!!!!! What do I do now.. i didnt realise till now that i didnt really expect to find one.. hm.
Spoken Memory // The Blade of Nowhere (The Sword of Yurikawa)
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi12:38 (Afternoon) // Open Field
*Queen looks like she’s seen a ghost*
“Ok, are you fuckin’ kidding me?!! I broke my katana replica around 20 minutes ago at the farm taking out those deadites.. so we’ve been driving for about 10 minutes, right.. *[Shocked]* ..like every time we stopped to check museums and antique stores searching for a katana... then I stop here.. a few bodies in this field out in nowhere.. most of ’em have LSD on them.. one of them has riot gear.. and this chick in Crocs, a bikini, and even more LSD.. is holding a pristine Katana.. right here... 20 minutes after my replica broke... what the fuck is going on?! *[concerned]* This is weird, Seer.. a coincidence like this is impossible..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Uneasy]
*studies the blade, wary*
“That’s a hell of a coincidence, Queen. Don’t let the strangeness make the decision for you—check the edge, check the body, then take it if it’s sound. The bones sing, but sometimes the world just throws us a crooked gift.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi12:38 (Afternoon)
*Queen Motoko nods, then howls as she holds the katana toward the blue sky as if thanking whatever it is that she feels so grateful for.. Bones starts howling with her.. she stops and looks down*
“We’re going the right way, Seer.. *[whispers]* what the fuck..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Uneasy]
*lowers her chin, listening*
“There. That’s no answer I can name, Queen, but Bones heard you—and answered. Keep the blade, give thanks if you must, then let’s move before the noise calls anything else.”
Entry VI // Augmentation Clinics, The Clarksville Megastore Tent & The Watertower
Spoken Memory // Scouting the City Skyline, The Sewer Dark & The Night Raid
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi13:47 (Afternoon) // High Overlook
*Queen is already scouring the horizon as the Bone Seer climbs the last ladder*
“Wooow.. look, Seer! There are two augmentation clinics in the city not too far from each other.. and there is also a medical center to the west of here near that forest.. wanna become a cyborg, Seer?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*squints toward the city*
“A cyborg, huh? I’ll keep my bones for now—but if that medical center’s quieter, we can look there before getting anywhere near those clinics.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi13:47 (Afternoon)
*[smiles]* “Yeah, I’m just joking, Seer.. no need to worry, I’m not making YOU into a robot.. I’m just gonna see if there are a few augmentations that might help with combat or protection.. *[lowers her eyebrows]* remember those ads for the fancy eyes? The ones with lenses with optical zoom so strong they could take a bullet without a scratch.. kinda badass.. but I don’t know myself, Seer.. the bones have led us here till now.. maybe it’s no time to be replacing them..”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Cautious]
*studies the distant skyline*
“I remember the pitch. Better eyes could keep you alive, but clinics are still clinics—let’s scout them carefully and see what’s there before trusting anyone’s promises. The bones brought us this far; no need to rush past their wisdom.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi13:48 (Afternoon) // Underground
“Something is out there in this sewer system or whatever it is.. should we check it out or head back up, Seer?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*listens at the opening*
“If something’s moving down there, we don’t go blundering into the dark. Let’s head back up, mark where we heard it, and come back only when we’ve got light and a way out.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi13:51 (Afternoon) // Field Next to Small Pond
*The M2 Bradley stops in a field next to a small pond; Queen shouts over the engine*
“Bone Seer! Should we set up camp here?.. Seems quiet.. there’s a pond here and we’re just 100 yards from the river there.. I’ll get some sleep now.. and tonight I walk to Clarksville and try to check out that Megastore on the north side of town.. you stay here with Bones and keep an eye on the Bradley and your ears open on the radio in case I find another one.”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Wary]
*glances from pond to treeline*
“Looks quiet enough for a short camp, but keep clear of the water’s edge and don’t leave Bones tied where he can’t get away. I’ll stay with the Bradley and listen to the radio—if you’re not back by dawn, I’m coming to find you.”
✦ MEMORY SAVED: Agreed to guard the Bradley and Bones while Queen scouts Clarksville’s megastore tonight.
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi22:26 (Night) // Back at the Bradley
*Shows off welding equipment, tools, clothes, large tent, item after item*
*[happy]* “Look at all the stuff I got from the Megastore! We can use the tent round the back of the Bradley.. have the tent opening toward the back hatch maybe?”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Practical]
*nods, inspecting the tent*
“That’ll give us a little room to work without sleeping under steel. Set the opening by the rear hatch, but keep it clear enough we can get in and out quick if trouble comes.”
Motoko 'Queen' Kusanagi22:26 (Night)
“Man, there was a lot of stuff in the store.. and a good amount of deadites.. but in the dark I could take them out one by one so it was a lot easier than the battles we’ve been having recently.. yeah.. the fucks seem to be evolving, not slowing down and rotting.. there is something in the bones.. did you see the Cerberus bear when we were driving north?! The thing had 3 fuckin’ heads!!”
Brigitte LaCroix, Bone Seer[Uneasy]
*glances toward the dark treeline*
“I saw it. Three heads on one bear—whatever the dead are becoming, it’s not just rot. We keep our distance, stay near the Bradley, and don’t mistake a quiet road for a safe one.”
I'll take inventory of what's in the Bradley when we have a place to set up a makeshift base of sorts, just setting up the Bradley with the Megastore tent somewhere quiet by the pond, close to town:
We're now north of Clarcksonville Clarksville or whatever it was called... so many dead, both living and dead-dead... have to check the Bradley as soon as we find a place to lay low.. ran over so many i dont even think an APC can take that much damage..
Right now we're on top of a watertower north of the city.. can see a lot of awesome places to scavenge. We'll see, i'll talk to the Seer for some insight.. she's been acting a bit weird lately after she found those meds.. but i dont think i will ask.. not yet at least.
