Fallout: Strains

[Evra]

rein nods "thanks" he says grabbing his bag and turns walking out the door and looks around wondering where he should look to see if anyone needs help with something

[Knight Errant]

"Damn. Where's that Wanderer guy when you need him?" Jack puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head in a world-weary kind of way.

"Dont tell me you swallow that Wanderer crap... No one person could have done all that stuff they were said to do. Besides, your telling me a kid who grew up in a cushy Vault would stand a chance out in the wastes? No way... that Wanderer is just a myth. Probably a mercenary group trying to stay under wraps... or Brotherhood propagada."

[Blaze]

Felix goes up to Max. "Hey again. I've been hired to help you deliver that Yao Guai meat." he says.

[muffinstud]

Eh, why not. Elijah slaps the necessary caps on the counter and heads towards the gate, glad to be free of the madman's yammering about Atom. He approaches the Asian man and nods his head in greeting. "Hey, you lookin' to make some caps? I need someone who knows which end of a gun to point at people."

[Haylie]

(It's alright. I understand. )

"Oh, I dunno about that. It'd be kinda redundant, don'cha think?" Moira slaps absently at a bug on the back of her head.

_____
Rein sees an Asian man by the main gate who seems to be waiting on something.

_____
Jack looks almost hurt. "Bit of a bleak outlook, don'cha think? Even if it is just propaganda, at least it gave some of us hope."

_____
Max doesn't look thrilled by this news, but politeness wins out. After a brief pause, Max nods and returns his shotgun to his back. "Alright, sure. One second, please." He gives a sharp whistle, and a moment later, a golden-furred dog comes barreling down the center of town to jump up and lick Max's face. "Hey, boy! We're gonna go for a walk, okay?" The dog barks merrily.

_____
As Elijah approaches, the man gives a short whistle to call a dog to him. He then looks up to see Elijah, seemingly confused, as if wondering to whom he's speaking. "... I like to think I've learned a few things. What are you proposing?"

[Blaze]

Felix says nothing, simply watching the man and his dog. He checks his Pip-Boy map and places a location marker on Arefu. "We ready to go now?" he asks Max.

[Mystic Mina]

(Posting this in class, so if it seems a bit disorganized.... >_>)

Rico rolls his eyes at Moira's comment before exiting the shop. That crazy woman.... Easy on the eyes, but hard on the head.

"Alright, now to get out.... Wait a second...."

"Hey, you lookin' to make some caps? I need someone who knows which end of a gun to point at people."

"Yeah, I've got a bit of knowledge on stuff like that." He walks up to Elijah. "Sorry for buttin' in like this, but I wanna hear what you gotta say. You're offerin' caps?"

[Evra]

As rein sees the asian man he walks over wondering who would just stand around this place as he walks up "uhm hello" he says looking at the person

[muffinstud]

Elijah nods. "Yeah, I'm offerin' caps. I'm a vendor of sorts, and I usually travel with a crew for protection. They up and got themselves killed, so I need me a new one. If you prove you've got the balls to stay alive out there, I'll make sure you don't fault for nothing." He smiles, looking Rico up and down a bit. If this guy survived, great. If not, more jerky for Elijah...

[Haylie]

"Yeah, whenever you are."

_____
(I'll leave this for Elijah)

_____
Max looks at Rein with a look of masked disbelief. "... Hey. Did you want something?"

_____
Max seems to notice Elijah eyeing Rico. Okay, that leaves two options for exactly what this guy is, and neither one is very pleasant, so I'll just keep this locked up for later...

[Evra]

"well i was wonderng if u possibly needed some help?" reins ays thanding there yawning looking around the town again

[Blaze]

"Then let's get going." Felix says, walking out the gates of Megaton.

[Mystic Mina]

"What'cha givin' me that look for? You think I'm not good enough for your ragtag team? Heh.... I'll show you. I'm in! When are we goin'? The sooner the better!"

[Knight Errant]

Jack looks almost hurt. "Bit of a bleak outlook, don'cha think? Even if it is just propaganda, at least it gave some of us hope."

"Instead of looking to the Brotherhood, the Wanderer, or whatever else out there... people should just solve their own damn problems. I make my life in one of the hardest jobs I have ever heard of... and I never accepted help from anyone. People like me, Tenpenny, Pinkerton... we carve our own piece of the world with our own work."

"I know shit is rough, with raiders and slavers and super mutants... But if you cant solve your own damn problems, even if someone comes by and helps you your only going to get rolled over once they leave."

He gets up. "And listening to myself... its plain I need to get off my ass and do something." Glancing over to Jack. "You in?"

((As a diver, he would have definitely met Pinkerton in the broken bow of Rivet City. XD))

[Haylie]

"Alright, sure. Whatever. Fine, let's go." Max also heads for Megaton's exit, Lucky trotting happily next to him.

It's not long before this motley group finds itself in the ruined town of Springvale. And not long after that, eight Raiders pop out of seemingly nowhere, carrying guns of various caliburs and sizes, and a few sporting Chinese Officer Swords and frag grenades on their belts. The apparent leader, wearing what looks remarkably like bones glued to leather with a few hands hanging from various spots, cackles like a crow.
"Hahahahaha! Lookee here, boys! Fresh meat!"

Lucky growls.

_____
(I was gonna say... also, I think I said this, but let's keep the worst of the curse words to a minimum, alright?)

Jack has a slightly surprised look, to say the least, but he nods and rotates a shoulder. "Alright. But we might need some help. Gotta be somebody in here with a death wish nothing to lose..."
With that, he turns around and begins tapping seemingly random people on their shoulders and whispering in their ears.
