"I topped off the tanks in both the beetle and the camper, and the camper's 2 (5gal) jugs are filled. So you're good to go. I do not know about the generators in your Dub Box campers, though they should only take 1 gallon of fuel. You should check on them." Fernando tells Jeanette.
 
"What about our camper?" Ruth asks.
 
"You gas tanks are full though you should load up on water since I was not able to check on that." Fernando answers.

"Mavis is asleep in the gas Camper Dub Box. I'll check on it when she wakes up." To the best of Jeanette's knowledge, everything is covered on this end.

Technical Note:
 
The VW Bug has a 250 mile range with its 10gallon tank (25MPG) and the VW Bus has a about a 220 mile range with its 10gallon tank(22MPG).
 
The Solar Camper has about a originally had a 220 mile range but with the extra batteries Fernando put in, it should double that, but night time running means his lights will eat up more battery juice as a faster rate. Without the solar panel charging the system as he runs at night, he should have a night time range of about 330 miles instead of 440+ miles.  
 
This can be a problem and part of the decision maker of what town to head too first. At best the furthest they can make it to is the third town (aka Fight Town). They can stop and empty out the fuel jugs into the beetle and camper and then continue going further from there.
 
The other vehicles have 20 gallon tanks so their range will be better than what the VW have despite having a lower MPG.
 
Something to think about.

Note: In the previous town Fernando and Hondo were talking about three towns. The first is not mutant-friendly, the second (the town the party is in now) is and the third has a radio doctor whom Fernando and Hondo want to see. Is that still on the agenda?
 
Which is the closest town Fernando and Hondo are considering? Does the caravan stop at that town?
 
Today I came up with an idea for fight town; I would need to write some dialog for Karl. Karl wishes to avoid fight town so this will fit right in unless, of course, you have another specific reason Karl wishes to avoid that town.
 
Edit: Where are you planning to go with the new couple? How does the human who joined the party today fit in?

Note:
 
According to my calculations, the town with the Radio Doc should be in the second town, and that was because Fernando wanted a more powerful rig for everyone or modify what they got for more power, channels and clarity. But the Radio has been known to travel with the caravan at times, so there is a 50/50 chance that he will be there. His shop will be open with his staff and they can do a few things but for a proper job the Radio doc is best to talk too.
 
For example - Fernando and Hondo's Cobra 148GTL has a programmable VFO (Digital Variable Frequency Oscillator). This basically means, depending on the digital input given to the chip, depends on what frequency it pushes out. So in theory the 148GTL has an unlimited channels potential, in actuality it has about 256 channels which includes the CB-40. But to have that many channels, the radio part has to be widen to handle more frequencies and tighten its bandwidth so it does not splash to other channels. Then is power output is upped from 5watts to 12watts.
 
The other Radios like the Cobra 19 and 29 have a limited VFO, which can give them 20 or so more channels on top of the CB-40 they have. Added channels are great for privacy. It depends if they are Uppers (above CB-40) or Subs (below CB-40)
 
He also wants a couple of Radio Linear Amplifiers, to make the radios push 10X to 100X more power so it can punch through the noise, static and develop skips. If the Radio Doc is not there, Fernando (and Hondo) can buy and put in the Power Linears himself.
 
Hint: I'll give you this much....
As hinted on Karl's girls rescue, the "Sex puppy" Sheep girl is emitting pheromones which is driving up the aggression and Testosterone in the men:  Fernando, Hondo and Karl.
 
Karl has been through Fight Town and does not want to return it and be dragged into a fight. Fernando and Hondo are willing to go there and kick some royal ass. But also the 4th town has a possibiity of rescuing the wessens by returning them as humans. The question is - how are wessens made?
 
-If wessens are humans injected with a mutagen that turns them into a wessen, then there is a possible possible cure.
 
-If wessens are born after the parents DNA have been manipulated, then there is a smaller chance of a cure.
 
In either case, they are then sold to who ever wants some cheap stronger than human slaves. And Sex Puppies are sold for... entertainment that you can guess.
 
If it is the first, there is a possibility that Wilima an Jason's relatives were sold to the lab and turned into wessens, then it would be impossible to recover them.
 
Karl was a laborer and a fighter for his master. He has won and lost fights in Fight Town, so he knows details about the place that the others do not. Because of that he does not want to return and he does not want to fight. There is a 50/50 chance of being killed as one goes up the fight pyramid.

Note: It sounds like we need to go to the second town.
 
The human I was asking about is not Wesen. She is, I presume, a daughter of a slave master . . . the one crying because she had to leave her makeup kit behind. How does she fit in the party?
 
For my fight town idea, I'll give you a teaser. There's a woman who Karl calls the "deadliest mutant in the ring." The exact wording is up to you.

The Human girl... well, Hondo's girls were part of the plantation next to hers. Karl and the Sheep girl were part of the human plantation. It's not such like the old south, but in the late 90s to present date farmers started to sell their farms to corporations because farming became a money losing proposition. So then the corporations stated to sell off these mega farms So at the time of The Happening few families owned these large super farms.
 
Thus such farms do have families running them, powerful political families. And the children of those families tend to grow up spoiled rotten brats. One thing some of those kids do as teens is sexually fool around a lot. Maribelle (Lady Maribelle when she becomes an older teen), tries to date 2 or 3 guys at once and then sneak them into a dark room/place and make them think they are doing her when in actuality they are doing Teri - her Sex Puppy. Sometimes the boys would go a long with the job, some are disgusted with having sex with a wessen when they were promised sex with a human (Maribelle).
 
As a Sex Puppy, Teri is closer looking to a human than a sheep but she still have many Sheep features like how Bill Hollbrook gives hooved animals fingers when needed, her finger and toe tips are tiny hooves instead of fingernails. And her hands and feet are smaller than normal of a girl her size. She does have "Wool" but she can be mistaken as an African American with kinky dense hair and Werewolf syndrome where she has that hair everywhere except for her face, hands and feet. Unlike Karl is more animal looking for strength as a field worker. Or Tonya who is more animal than Karl as she was created for her strength, speed and breeding material - she would make a great body guard for the right person and she was going to school for that - according to Hondo's earlier post. She, like other wessens, have a tail though her tail is small, smaller than most.
 
As Maribelle's SexPuppy, Teri would do whatever Maribelle tells her to do. That includes having sex with guys he bring over for "fun and games."Her father was Karl's Master, but Maribelle treated Karl as a play thing and sex toy with Teri as the bait. That is Maribelle's connection to them, and indirectly to Hondo's Zoey and Tonya OCs. They all lived in the same relative area, so they know and worked with each other.
 
Maibelle is crying because her way of life is over. No more fooling around, no more "Daddy's" money though much of that was recovered in that box, no more farm, no more being a town's political princess. No more using and manipulating people like she was learning how to do. It is more than just her make up kit, it was a way of life she is losing and that the make up kit was a representation and connection of that.
 
- - - - - - - -
 
Karl is a freestanding character so you can use him as needed. It is that he is very opinionated and full of himself. Full of himself until he is faced with something he can not do, like Fight Town because he lost fights he should have won. Since Hondo and Fernando saved his life, he thinks he owes them.
 
How you use him in Fight Town is up to you. But because of his failure there, he does not want to return.
 
Also, about Fight Town - if walking down the street somebody challenges you, you have to fight. Win or Lose, for this is how one gets respect in Fight Town. So the group can walk around fight town and then another group selects one from our group to fight and they must fight. For females though, saying that they pregnant could stop a fight before it starts if the challenger has a heart. But if the challenger does not like the female for what ever reason, they have to fight - pregnant of not. It's like that Bar Scene in Star Wars where the guy and his friend tells Luke Skywalker "My friend here does not like you... Neither do I! You watch yourself, we're wanted men. We got the Death sentence on 12 systems!" "Alright I'll watch myself. Want a drink?" "WRONG! You'll Be Dead!" and Obiwan Kinobe slices off their hands with his light saber as they draw their guns to shoot and gets Luke Skywalker out of the bar. This was a bar. Imagine a whole town like that? "It is a hive of scum and villainy." This is on top of the matches held at various bar/gyms which is ran by various characters of ill repute and organized crime which is done for money.

Note: The question is, now that Maribelle is a member of the party, how does the spoiled princess fit in as a member of the party or the story from here on?
 
She has to pull her own weight. She now lives in a camper. Is she going to make a big production of it?
 
We have a C List actress and the princess of Arendelle. Maribelle will get no sympathy from them.

LOL! I love the choice of words.
 
Given: Maribelle is going to be a problem like Karl was in the beginning. With Karl it took Fernando dangling his tail in front of Lucy - the T-Rex to set him straight. Maribelle is going to be an issue. But she has one thing the other do not have and that is, or was political power and with that political power comes connections. That is probably her only saving grace. But how far that political power reaches remains to be seen.
 
But somebody needs to get her fat lazy ass to stop lounging around and eating bon bons all day and be useful to the group. And she needs to be "trained" to stop using Teri as her puppet to get things done for her. Teri has her jobs to do and Maribelle will have hers. She can not circumvent responsibility onto Teri though Teri would do anything for her. That has to end. It will be a bitter pill for her to swallow.
 
But this is something that the guys can not do. Between Teri's Pheromones and her ability to manipulate (younger) guys, the men of the group will not be effective to her. This is something the women of the group has to do for them.

Note: Major miscalculation if no one caught it.
 
The location of the tractor trailer camper, as per the last RPG Post has the tractor trailer camper at Mr. Jamerson's farm. Mr. Jamerson's farm is at the other town we were in before this one, which was a 10+ hour ride. It is not 10 hours because of distance, but because of needing to drive slowly due to road conditions are bad. This would make retrieving the tractor trailer camper home a 24+ hour job. And the convoy leaves tonight.
 
The only way to fix this is to play out the 24 hours as a whole, or use handwavium and have Fernando or the spirits telelport them there, fix the tractor trailer camper and then teleport them back.
 
Which one should be done?
