The Exclusion Zone: Amalia poured out the smoking green vodka. It hissed and fizzed as it spilled over the ground. "Hey man, that stuff looks nasty. No wonder you have the mother of all hangovers. Here, take a drink of this - pure water - well pure plus a few additives to boost energy and mood" Davydos grinned as he offered Bard his canteen

About this image

A moody, dystopian scene shows a group of survivors in a devastated urban landscape with a distant Ferris wheel. The woman in a black jacket kneels, conjuring a vivid green glow, while three men stand armed and ready—one with a guitar-like instrument—highlighting resilience, scavenging culture, and improvised music amid ruin. The image blends post-apocalyptic fantasy with survival mood and dramatic, muted colors.

"Boet, that's Bliksem Brew working it's magic" I take another sip, "Nothing like it to keep one firing on all cylinders. Now, Stargazer, what's the plan? Came to the Zone, to kick mutant arse, release some aggro. Things far too quiet back home" --- @panos

Sure did, just a pity that @TheBard used his lute as a weapon and then it got effectively destroyed or possessed when he cleaned demonic gunk off it with radiactive vodka. Anyhow I bought him a replacement guitar in Zalissya

🤣 But my Bliksem Brew in that flask helped in recover. And just as we were chilling, him playing some tunes and me sipping a coffee, SG and Amalia arrived calling us to go fight monsters --- @panos @TheBard

OH my! That stuff hisses? No wonder the Bard has a massive hangover. But it'll clean his lute of monster goop so that's a plus.

Thank goodness she threw it away; the last one seemed to offer him more.

I wipe the mouth of the canteen with a calloused thumb, looking entirely unbothered and take a long swig. "That's ,y own special recipe" I respont, matter-of-face. "The burn is the Sutherlandia—the 'Old Man's Bush' from back home; it’s scrubbing the bile out of your liver. The metallic tang? That’s powdered Vinca and a dash of Antirad salts I stripped from a dead Merc’s kit. It’s better than the 'Brain Scorcher' vodka you downed. It doesn't just hydrate you, it jump-starts your heart so you don't die in the mud while we're trying to stay alive."

No, not a Boer - that would be the colloquial for an Afrikaaner, means farmer in Afrikaans. But Boet means brother in Afrikaans, and it can be used as slang for another chap with whom your are mates . . . kind of like mate I guess, though there is a word for that specifically. Boet can have a bit of a rough edge to it which seemed right for Davydos. So drew on a bit of Saffa stuff and took the name from adapting my own to give it a Lithuanianb vibe, my gran was from Lithuania originally.
