So long coal town

by Halle Harken

Would you believe it? We actually pulled it off! Yeah, I may have been unconscious for an hour or so, but that was only somewhat related.
 
Okay, real talk; my ankle is in excruciating pain. Those wheel-bugs did a number on me the other day. I made it out alive, but it was much too close for comfort. Being in a wide open space like we were is not comfortable.
 
On the plus side, the crowd loves me now, and they were so disappointed when I wasn't able to perform. Im not surprised, but it's good to be admired.
 
Bugs got it worse than me this time. I gave him some Grit after he was psychically assaulted by that creep-o eyelid-less priest of Thorne at the end of the night, and he reacted very well to it. I'm thinking that drugs might not be as effective on him. That being said, if I can get my hands on some, it might be a good carrot later on.
 
After we made sure that priest would keep quiet(we gave him some documents which would hopefully be of use against Cornwall, the coal magnate) we split town. I was also lucky to get my hands on the volgunite receiver for a little bit. I listened to a receiver play and a stargazing broadcast of some kind.
