Backstory125 MKRP
From Egs Mayhem
- OOC: AP declares that Mossy Knoll is an alternate universe of the War thread, where the War itself did not take place:
- "Lets say that the war with Svensylsquatostan happened, but came to a peaceful ending, and afterward Kraggi decided to send people on an expedition into the wastelands, those of whom found 'oasis', and seeign as it had excellent defences from attack, found it to be a good Haven to vacate to for some R&R. Though Ann took the opportunity first, Kraggi soon followed and joined the small recreational town."
- OOC: Grim explains how the Author Brothers came to Mossy Knoll.
Clothing Store (midnight)
- Xiao emerges, wearing his newly-purchased clothing, and looks around for some shelter. He enters the Rex, which is open, even though it is midnight for him.
