Sorry...

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Hey, don't feel sorry. I don't blame you. Don't you ever wish for something better, though?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What would I wish for? We have food, and not that many people are sick this winter. Everything is so much better than it used to be.

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

*A crackle comes across the line*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

... That's good. That's... That's good.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Hello?

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Tunnel: What do you want, Data?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Usually. Attacking us when we're all at camp probably wouldn't end well for them.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That's no good, either.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Please, do.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Actually, this is Aron; Data's connected me to you. It's about Dark.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I've heard rumors of a bandit and/or raider group that tends to include those with abnormal abilities, so I'm glad to know it's just regular ones, even if those aren't exactly good news either.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Well, from what I've seen, not everywhere is the same as this. There are some groups that have been able to establish themselves as small towns and even get some basic technology up and running, like lights powered by water wheels and whatnot. But in general most groups tend to either stick to one place, or move somewhat. Another thing I've noticed is that there are some that forgo technology and stay away from any ruins, viewing them as evil or unlucky. That said, I've seen one or two major establishments where they've started rebuilding after securing themselves. Anything else?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I haven't ever seen one of those. They sound dangerous.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I know, which is why I'm glad I've only heard rumors of them existing, as unlikely as they may be.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Where did they get their powers, if they do exist? One of the atomic buildings?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Is quiet for but an unnoticeable split second before replying.* No one really knows, but most people I've run into consider those with abilities to be evil or crazy in one way or another, which is why, rare as they may be, those with abilities are usually kicked from their groups. Heck, even in what little info I've found about the past mentions nothing of people like that. Only thing that's generally agreed upon is that they only started appearing a couple of years after the end of our former civilization 300 to 200 years ago.

I hope your camp has a safe and healthy winter too.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Do you think they exist?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Thank you. We will.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

There are growth and change, then.

*Grins, but only in view of Thania*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Yea, but it'll be a while before it starts spreading outwards.

*Doesn't visibly react, but you see a bit of an annoyed warning look in my eye.*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I've never run into one myself, but I can say it's likely they do. That said, it's starting to get dark, so you should probably start heading back to your group.

Good idea. Do either of you need any firewood? We found a big wine cellar and we'd be happy to share if you do.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Okay. I was... Yeah. Change is good, isn't it?

*Winks*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Oh, I'm good. You don't want me near a fire.
