"Okay, well I can't use most of this right now. Fuck! I could combo myself out of this problem if lands weren't one time use!" I cursed a little angrily as I looked at what I got.
I could technically play a few things but none of them really satisfied my current problem, being naked.
"Uh lets go Bag end and the island for a blue and white mana to start." I muttered as I reached and to my surprise pulled the cards out of the screen.
I sort of instinctively knew how to use them and tossed them out in front of me. Rather than flutter in the dry air like you would expect from cards they landed face up on the ground and began to glow as they turned sideways. From the island a blue glow shot out and into my chest and from the Bag end a chain shot into my chest that dragged back a small rainbow glowing orb to it before a white glow shot out of it and into my chest as both cards burnt up without leaving even ash behind.-
"Alright now I'll play East-Mark Cavalier." I muttered as I took the card from the screen and felt the strange glowing energies I just got flow from my chest, down my arm and into the card.
Unlike the lands this time the card forced itself out of my hand and floated in the air as it got bigger and bigger. Then the image on the card began to move and a horse as well as it's rider just walked out of the card before the card itself burnt up. It's not mentioned often but like warhorses were NOT small animals. The chestnut brown horse clad in leather saddle stood at least seven feet tall which put the blank faced armored man sitting on said saddle at about eight feet.-
This meant my five eleven ass had to crane my neck to look up at him. The rider himself had on a set of light leather armor on his torso over a long sleeved tunic, leather bracers and gloves and cloth pants with leather pads on the thighs and boots. One hand held the steering thingy that sits in a horses mouth while the other had a sick looking spear with a broad tip.-
"Hey like I know we just met and all but like can I have your cloak? I'm sorta naked and would like to fix that." I said awkwardly.
The blank faced man released the steering thing and unclasped the cloak hanging off his back and handed it to me wordlessly.
"Thanks. Now how did this work again?" I muttered as I wrapped the cape like article of clothing around my waist like one might a towel.
It wasn't pretty and I was still baking under the hot sun and the dry sandy ground beneath my feet but hey, at least my dick wasn't flopping in the wind for all to see. Improvement!

The system chimed in to the rescue and I had my heading.
"We have ourselves a goal my good soldier! Pants! Now help me up so we can get to looking for somewhere that may have them!" I said with a grin and the guy didn't even blink as he held out his non-weapon holding arm.
Now normally I should be terrified about being in a situation like this but as you may have noticed I'm not all there upstairs. Eccentric, my coworkers used to say but I preferred the term "boundless". I didn't let my situation bother me and chose to make the most out of everything even if it sucked. And this? SUCKED! After getting seated in front of rugged soldier man like a child we set off bravely into the unknown, and I was suffering for it.-
My first observation of the place I found myself was some sort of desert with yellow and red sand for miles and a roads that look not just abandoned but damned near intentionally destroyed. Oh yes reaching an asphalt road proved easy, we were only a ten minute ride away from one after all and it stood out like a sore thumb. The real problems came when we reached it.
"Where the dick am I?" I blurted out as I scanned all around us and saw desert, desert and you guessed it, more desert.
There wasn't a building in any direction for as far as my eyes could see. I could only sigh at this and eeny, meeny, miny, moe the road and pick a direction. Fun fact, horseback riding in the middle of a desert road without any protection from the sun was downright torturous. Frankly speaking I was pretty sure if the redness on my arms was any indication I was going to be hurting quite a bit by nightfall.
"Well at least we aren't getting attacked." I muttered before hearing something and groaning "God damnit all Murphy!" I cursed as I looked towards the origin of the sound.
There to our right rising from the sand was the biggest scorpion I have ever seen. I mean straight up the size of a dog big. And hostile! I owned a scorpion as a pet a few years back so I knew the difference between "Fuck off, i'll hurt you" and "I'm going to fucking kill you". The tensed charge this thing had going on was all the latter and I wasn't keen on finding out what happened to me when a two two soldier with a horse died to a big ass scorpion.-
"Stab it!" I ordered without hesitation.
My soldier man did not disappoint and skewered that scorp good in one nice clean thrust. The thing thrashed and stung the spear a bit but obviously didn't do any damage. Once it was good and dead I looked at it carefully and some part of my memory was itching at it's sight but I couldn't for the life of me recall why. It was a dark tan, almost brown really and of course really large. I had my soldier cut off the stinger that was big enough to be a knife and I kept it in case it was useful later.-
We continued our journey after that and there was a couple more of these scorpions along the way but we FINALLY came across a building. It was a bright red rusted metal gas station with a faded white and red rocket on top of the roof that finally snapped my memory clear.
"Oh my god, i'm in Fallout!" I yelled in horror.
