I had honestly wracked my brain trying to think of a reason a frontier scout, key word frontier, meaning on the edge of civilization, with only the bare minimum of connection to major population centers, would have to be at a wasteland diner.
And I honestly couldn't think of one. For a man who has lived his whole 60+ years of life on the frontier, scouting, mining and farming what land there well there is no reason to go to the major population centers I guess. A frontier town would have it's own smithy, it's own gun maker, it's own ammo press all of that to survive. And if it doesn't a group of frontier towns would have one to accommodate the needs of the many.
I'll figure out a way to meet up with the main group, if I have too. This being a sandbox RP, I guess we can make our own little side plots until things can make it so we can link up for awhile.
If that's so I think I can swing this whole subplot for my guy that's he's on the trail of an extremely dangerous type of creature, or several different creatures that are threatening the frontier. make it interesting tracking them down, getting into trouble along the way etc. Won't be as fun to RP just with myself at time, but I've done it before.
