the pair then reached the top of the lab's ramp, the view was impressive, being able to see the entire city in front of them.
Hornsy: so, here is my place, I should introduce you to the gang seeing that your gonna be spending some time here until we figure out the next step
Grimmus: sure, sounds like a clever idea, and better than just walking for hours and sleeping outside
They both go inside to the 1st floor, which is desks and bookshelves. Hornsy explains that this is where they take stock of supplies, civilians, taxes, and extra information. The 2nd floor housed the living quarters, this included a kitchen, dining/living room, bedrooms, and a small games corner with a few games like chess, and other such games.
Sitting around the table was an assortment of characters from different races: 2 Shek, one female with a fragment axe and an annoyed look on her face while the other is slightly overweight and sports a stained tank top, a hive drone doing strongman poses, an old Greenlander with a rattan hat and a crossbow on his back, next to him was another hive drone, also with a crossbow on his back. There were also 3 skeletons, one of which was doing some cooking, as well as 2 Greenlanders, one of them is an old man with a goatee and the other is a young girl with a ponytail
Hornsy: hey guys!
Beep: yay Hornsy is back
The crowd the gather around the 2
Ruka: who is this?
Hornsy: oh, this is Grimmus, he gave me a hand with the research
Grimmus: and oh boy did we found something, just give us a few days for it to arrive though
Hornsy: well, Grimmus here will be staying here for a while as we need to plan our next move based on what we found
Hobbs: your welcome here anytime
Grimmus: thanks
Hornsy: well I guess I should introduce you to the gang: we have Hobbs, Ruka, Savant, Dr Chungus
Dr. Chung: its Chung not Chungus
Hornsy: potato, tomato. Continuing, we have Beep, Green, Izumi, my brother Bonesy
Bonesy: heyo bruv
Hornsy: and the 3 skeletons are Sadneal, burn and Agnu
Agnu: *friendly Agnu noises*
Hornsy: he's a bit defective
Burn: welcome to the group my friend, hope you like bread and high-quality meat-based meals
Grimmus: a cooking machine?
Hornsy: while burn doesn't need to eat, nor can he taste or smell, he's a bloody good cook
Burn: you spoil me sir
Hornsy: also, quick warning, Ruka can get a bit violent sometimes
Ruka: who the hell says I'm violent?! *hits table*
Hornsy: ...moving on...i can either get you a house in the upper-class district or a bed here in the bunks
Grimmus: upper-class
Hornsy: ok then, I'll make the arrangements but for the meantime, you can stay in my bed while I'll sleep down here on the floor cushions
Grimmus: hey thanks man
Hornsy: no problem, you're my friend, it's the least I could do
That evening as the gang got to bed Grimmus and Hornsy sat upstairs in Hornsy's personal room
Hornsy: so, any idea what to do next?
Grimmus: well, I do know a guy who can help
Hornsy: great, but I guess we'll wait for the journal to be written up
Grimmus: hopefully the courier survives his way through bucket-head territory
Grimmus then thinks about the spear he found in the bar
Grimmus: so...ive been to that rather impressive bar you got
Hornsy: yeah, my dad helped fill out a few things from his personal collection
Grimmus: including a spear
Hornsy: the one with the see-through red spearhead?
Grimmus: that one
Hornsy: well I don't know much about it, dad did say he got both off of a cannibal chief
Grimmus: ah, ok then
Hornsy looks at grimmus with curiosity, as he specifically asked about that one item
Hornsy: so...why are you so interested in that spear
Grimmus: oh...uh, well its...just so unusual to see
Hornsy: yeah, that what I thought when he gave it to me. Nobody has seen something this advanced at all
Grimmus: yeah...well I guess we should get some sleep
Hornsy then went downstairs as Grimmus got into his bed
Grimmus: *in his head* well, looks like I'm staying here a little longer
The next 3 days go on without trouble with Grimmus moving into his new house, its rather nice with a small balcony as well as a nice living room, kitchen, study and bedroom, as well as 2 extra spare rooms though Grimmus worries what's going on back home with the rest of the gang, especially his brother.
Grimmus: huh, I could get used to this
