Of course, a lot of things can happen when you have two geeks stuck in an RV for an extended road trip.

One of those things is a universal in a road trip.

"So where do you want to stop next?"

And true to form this is said while the RV pulls an amazing 70 mph on a freeway.

Laini, feet up on the dashboard, has a lap full of brochures- the type one usually finds on a display rack in any roadside diner, about any and all 'places of interest' within the surrounding 500 miles. Judging by the sheer number of the ones in her possession, Laini must have been collecting them since she and Mother left San Fransisco.

"Hmmmm. You've already found most of the really fun places that these things aren't really going to mention- as I see a decided lack of 'Blowing up Black Mesa: A Weekend Trip' being mentioned here."

Silly tourists' guides.

Of course, brochures are not the only way to advertise attractions! Another way is roadside signs-

Including the one coming up just ahead of them.

"... How about that?"

[yucca_isnt_porn]

?

"How about wha-..." Mother's jaw snaps back shut. "No."

[foxy_l33t]

Laini blinks, and turns to give Mother a slightly bewildered look.

"But you asked! Why can't we-"

[yucca_isnt_porn]

"No, I may not be the sanest guy on the block, but I have enough imagination to know the kind of havok you'd created in five minutes there." Pause. "Besides, I already promised you that I wouldn't interfere with you playing around with Crease."

[foxy_l33t]

Laini folds her arms together and pouts.

"I would NOT create havok. Really."

"And you're looking forwards to me playing around with Crease, anyways."

[yucca_isnt_porn]

"I'll admit to wanting to see Crease get fucked with.. government ninjas......." If Laini catches that last part, it'll be all the more fun for her later.

"Besides that, I don't want to leave a trail of chaos leading up to Black Mesa."

[foxy_l33t]

Subtle hint taken, Mother.

But back to the current moment, Laini just gives Mother a look, before glancing wistfully back at the second sign right before the offramp.

"... It wouldn't be much chaos. And I could grab a few goodies for you, even!"

[yucca_isnt_porn]

"...they're not as gay and flirty as the tabloids make them out to be." Mother remarks dryly. "Besides that, I doubt they'd let me in."

[foxy_l33t]

"Wasn't as if I would be grabbing the guys in uniform for you." Laini mutters, sinking down into her seat.

The RV passes by the offramp, with its clearly labled sign, National Guard Armory.
