Shovels In Spades

"You're leaving again so soon?" Crusher asked Daz while she finished up polishing her sledgehammer.

Shortly after having decided on which of the two SS-ranked (Higher Tier) skills to use his free chance on, Daz had come to Crusher to tell her that he was leaving the base again and that she should be ready to come with him since she had asked him to tell her if he was going out again.

"Right," Daz nodded. "I need to go back to my home. There are a few things I need to collect."

'Not to mention, I have to do something to keep my mind occupied while I wait for Rimmy to be summonable again...' Daz had been trying his best to stay busy today, not only because he needed to get things in order, but because his heart was still hurt by Rimmy's absence.

"Well, I don't really mind, but who'll protect this place while we're both gone?" Crusher asked. Even if she wanted to stretch her legs and leave Fort Skip for a bit, she wasn't stupid. Crusher knew that only she and Daz were at a level that could adequately protect the place from most, if not, all threats currently.

"Lyle, Ger and Heather can handle things. After all, we have plenty of guns now. It should be fine to leave the base for a few hours. And just like with you, I'll be leaving a walkie-talkie with Lyle, so he can contact me if anything happens." Daz's words made sense to Crusher, so she nodded her head.

"Sure, gimme a few mins. I can't crush things unless Crusher is all clean, now can I? Hahaha!" Crusher claimed.

'She named her sledgehammer after herself? That's a bit odd,' Daz thought.

"Meet me at the outer gate. Take your time, I'm not in a rush." With that, Daz left and made his way to Lyle.

Daz then briefly explaining what he was going to do and got Lyle to promise to contact him immediately if something happened at Fort Skip during his trip home. Naturally, Lyle had voiced his opinion of wanting to come with Daz, but he was denied since Daz made it clear that he was only going to grab some stuff then return quickly.

Daz could see Crusher approaching him from the inner wall. She was wearing a tank top and a pair of camo baggy pants. What caught Daz's attention though, besides her sledgehammer that was strapped horizontally at the back of her waist, was her gloves.
