[CHangohh BOyy]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti - Mayoral Office Interrogation Room

"Far too well, we waged a war with the NCR for control of Sasktoon, God i still remember it, it was my first battle, what they teach you in Basic Training doesn't prepare you for all that screaming, all that blood. The NCR are more than just a militia, or atleast then, they fought hard. I remember when a NCR solider almost killed Henry, now i wish i hadn't taken that bullet" she answered.

Hmm, that may be a problem. he stroked his chin.

"Well, if they're not nearby, I don't see any point in going further." he shrugged, checking his watch. "Okay, it's almost time to get some grub for the night. If you wish to stay here, I can offer you a place in which to stay. My old apartment is empty these days, and you're more than welcome to it. One of my men can escort you to it." he told her, allowing his eyes to gander over her body.

She was obviously fit, being a soldier, and her face held an innocent look that always attracted Frank. If I could somehow get her out of that uniform. . . No, you're with Lyn, Frankie! he gritted his teeth silently, trying to control his thoughts.

OOC: I thought it would be interesting if Frank decides to take interest in Senet, making Lyn jealous and vie for his attention. Would be a nice little sub-plot. What do you all say?

[Natasha Callaghan]

Mieux grimaced and leaned forward, slightly embarassed and NOT being able to do something for once, and spoke a little embarassed, "Truth be told, I can't hand any hypodermics over, any needles we have are in out hospital. However, everything south of here is claimed by me. So your free to scavenge the city. Now, I haven't scavenged it, but there MIGHT be some hypodermic needles in an old hospital on the southern tip of the island. We've yet to scavenge it, seeing as we've been slowly pushing our way south, expanding into the land we claimed. However, feel free to take whatever you need from it. As to our negotiations, I'm a very compromising man, to live by absolutes can only bring your doom. I live by 'whatever keeps the peace', within reason of course. As to what you can produce, I want fifty percent of the stims and fixer sent here to Arcadia, and the rest, I'd like sent to New Manhattan, they will not pay for it, but I will. Now, does this fix everything you need to sign our contract?" He leaned back and was half there, thinking three things, one mind on the message Frank had sent here, the other was Alex's 'surprise'. He then looked at Alex, "Oh, and Alex, Leon. I am now formally stepping down as head of Arcadia once this treaty of peace and business has been signed in a minute, Alex, this treaty is something I expect you to abide by." He offered Alex the seat he had just been sitting in. "Congratulations on your promotion....Mr. Mieux." He then gave the arrogant smirk of confidence he usually gave, then turned serious. "Just as well, I expect you to play ball with Frank, he has ALOT of pull with New Manhattan, you do whatever he asks for within reason to appease him if he gets mad. I've just sent a message to him at his manor, he'll be in contact within a few minutes, as this is alot more important than some child from Canada."

[Natalie Harvey]

OOC: Well considering there isn't really one set main plot...you're welcome to do it.

Captain Nikov

As Nikov's squad headed out, he heard, "Far too well, we waged a war with the NCR for control of Sasktoon." The squad all exchanged glances and headed as fast as they could towards Antium. Since they were all given Platinum level clearance after getting the Medal of Honour, Nikov's squad rushed inside the Zodiac Tower and took the working elevator to William's council room.

Captain Nikov was the first to yell out, "NCR...they're closer than we thought!"

The entire council started to get a bit uproarious before William calmed them down. "What happened Nikov?" He asked. After the recap of the events, William turned to the satellite control operative in the council room. "Where is Saskatoon?"

"Uh...judging from Pre-War data and the city that's built on the ruins currently...middle Canada, close to the Pre-War American border...that's all sir," He concluded. William's expression changed from the regular business face to worry.

"NCR is going to be closer...check readings on how strong this new force is," William ordered. Soon after, the readings were in. Surprisingly, despite its size and apparent infamy in Canada, it was still very little trouble for Antium, much less New Manhattan.

William smiled and waved Nikov out of the council room and after he left, William turned to his council.

"Now then, John Fairfield is going to land soon...I expect NSU guards with me at all times during the meetings. If they need to go somewhere, I expect new guards to come in. Also...he's going to bring power armoured soldiers. If need be, kill them. But otherwise, keep them there but at all times, they're your first targets if anything goes bad."

[Claudia Cook]

Senet smiled at him

He looks like a fine man.... she thought to herself

"How about you escort me, i would rather have the previous owner than a random person" she smiled at him

"Shall we?" she said

[Hayley O'Gara]

Leon sat in shock as the man he had just met was giving up his power to his...Alex person. Leon contemplated not signing the document as he wasn't sure how new managment would play ball but after a short conference with Garret he signed the document.

"What will you do now Mieux?"

OOC: Martyr are you leaving the RP?

[Aman Bhattal]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti - New Manhattan

Franks thoughts were cut short when he noticed that Senet was smiling back at him, which caused him to return the gesture as a reflex.

"How about you escort me, i would rather have the previous owner than a random person" she said to him.

Ooh, sounds enticing. the Mayor allowed the thought to process in his mind for a moment. Well, there's nothing wrong in showing her the old place, is there? he decided finally.

"Shall we?" she asked.

"Well, alright." he concluded. But we're still going to need security." he added, adjusting his sharp suit. "Men, to the old apartment." he said, leading the young woman, surrounded by several soldiers for protection. "Just around here." he pointed, guiding her through the streets of New Manhattan, allowing her to soak up the cities soul.

---

Nearly half an hour later, they had finally arrived at Evergreen, the location in which Frank had spent the better part of his life. "And here's the apartment!" he showed her, as they entered the dingy room at last. It was not a very big room, but it held a bed, a small kitchen, and a cupboard, along with a toilet and sink in the corner. The Mayors old things were cleared out months ago, leaving nothing but this bare furniture and a single worn out couch.

"It's not much, but it ain't nothing." Frank said, entering the room, hands on hips, inspecting the place. "I trust you'll be alright here?" he inquired, having sent the soldiers to wait outside. Throughout the time, his mind kept going over the thought of her, and him being with her. It's your nature Frank, don't fight it. . . No, you're a changed man. Lyn changed you. . . he kept arguing internally in the duration of the journey. As he stood there with her in front of him, his thoughts wandered there once more.

[Rachyroo]

OOC: Thought about it, but it's more I want to give others the chance to play head honcho. I've been at this since Thread 3, I'm more or less stepping down as a lesser main character. Imagine Vito Corleone going into Semi-Retirement, this is pretty much what my character has done.

Mieux, shrugging slightly, speaking with mild unconcern, "I'm a dead man, I'll be living my days in Arcadia, advising Alex when he asks, strolling in the courtard below, enjoying the time I have left." He put his hands in his pockets and said assuringly, "I've groomed Mr. Sc- I mean, Mr. Mieux here for a good while, I have full faith and confidence in him to take my chair and run things with a level head." He prepared a glass of scotch from the cabinet and took a drink and continued. "Besides, I've been alive for well over 200 years, not in a way I intended, but either way, I've lived a blessed life here in safety, I've given New Yorks ruins alot now, look at these people below, they live in safety, comfort, and work and eat. This is progress, I trust Alex as the perfect replacement. he has a temper, but he seems to be working on it."

[KU Fint]

OOC: Be warned, if Frank cheats on Lyn, there will be deathclaws seeking blood...or whatever you call the stuff that replaced Frank's blood.

[Sweets Sweets]

She walked around the room, gazing at the faded walls

"Would you care..for dinner, I still have some rations in my backpack somewhere, we could share it." she said

He stood there, more or less thinking about her.

Bout time someone appreciated me she thought with a smile.

[Katharine Newton]

OOC: Be warned, if Frank cheats on Lyn, there will be deathclaws seeking blood...or whatever you call the stuff that replaced Frank's blood.

Ragoo :laugh:

[Love iz not]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti - Senet's Apartment / Mayors Estate

She walked around the room, gazing at the faded walls "Would you care..for dinner, I still have some rations in my backpack somewhere, we could share it." she said.

Rations? I am the Mayor of this city. I have a silver platter with fresh streak and mashed potatoes at my estate, and you want me to eat rations? Frank considered the proposition for a moment before finally giving in. No harm in dinner. he decided, gazing at the walls along with her. Damn, I remember all the broads I brought up here. Well, not all of them. I bet even folks at the Commonwealth can't count that high! he chuckled to himself. Oh, I remember Lisa. She was good. . . his thoughts trailed off once more but snapped back to attention.

"Sure, I'd love to join you for dinner." he agreed, smiling.

Before long, he was done with his meal, and after sharing several jokes and old stories, decided to leave her. No more for tonight. he decided. I'll get carried away. Frank thought to himself, finally finding the resolve to stick by Lyn, at least for today. As he left the apartment, he sneaked one last glance at the womans figure. One of the best. he concluded. Lyn, you better get your tight-ass back, because I'm trippin'. he smiled to himself, making his way back to his estate accompanied by a platoon of guards.

---

Eventually, the Mayor reached his estate, and relaxed. He let his fine suit slide off of his lean body, and stood under the shower for several minutes before drying himself and plopping into bed. While he lay there, hands behind his head, his mind kept thinking back and forth from Lyn to Senet. Lyn, please come back. I don't want to be caught up in a mess. Not anymore. he thought to himself, surprised that this kind of situations were ones he used to strive for before he met Lyn. The last face in his head was that of Lyn setting off a deathclaw on him if she were to find out what was going on in his mind. It was not pleasant, and he had nightmares the entire night.

OOC: Off to bed for the night, folks.

[Sarah Knight]

Lyn Grave

Jeez, she could have given me a ride this time. Lyn thought to herself as Sonia took off in the vertibird. She shrugged, and went back to the carrier that brought her there. She boarded, along with Gramps, and they made their way back to New Manhattan.

"I certainly wasn't expecting that." Gramps said as the carrier rumbled along.

"I wasn't either. That was surely a Midwestern deathclaw, but how did it get all the way out here?" Lyn replied.

"It certainly didn't like humans, so I would guess when the Brotherhood recruited the deathclaws, it chose to leave to join a new nest." Gramps finished. Lyn accepted Gramp's anolysis without word, and after a few minutes, was asleep against Gramp's shoulder, just like on the trip there.

Lyn woke up to Gramps shakin her lightly. They were back in New Manhattan. The sky was dark, so Lyn and Gramps exchanged goodnights and went their separate ways. Lyn made her way to the Mayor's estate, then up into Frank's room. He was already asleep, but Lyn was feeling playful. She stripped down, and straddled Frank's sleeping body, hoping to rouse him for some nighttime fun before they both went back to bed for the night.

[Dan Wright]

Senet sat down on the couch of the apartment, cleaning the little knife she had ever since Sasktoon. She thought about the memories of her past life. She sorted her items in the little apartment, she pulled out an old book called

Cooking:The kitchen guide book

and she put it on the small kitchen counter. Looking at all the memories she felt sleepy, she stripped down and went into her bed. She drifted into a nightmare
-----------------------------------------------
Senet Massri-Sasktoon One Year Earlier

"PRIVATE! GET IN GEAR! THE NCR ARE MOVING IN!" shouted Henry over the gunfire.
Her squad picked up the pace through the shelled out city. They were after a tower, called "Empire Records". They fought their way into in, bursting into the top floor with guns ringing out. They killed or fatally wounded all of the NCR up there, but they were followed by NCR squads.

"AMBUSH!" screamed a Canadian solider as the NCR burst up into the top floor. The NCR killed most of her squad, but she dived infront of her squad leader before he could be killed, he rappelled down with a few other squad mates into the buildings below. Then a NCR colonel walked up to her bleeding, wounded body and got into her face

"I have plans for you Canadian......" he said with a heavy California Accent.
---------------------------------------------
She woke in a cold sweat, she got up, and grabbed her canteen, and drank down into the last drop. She fell back to sleep, greeted with another nightmare
--------------------------------------------
Senet Massri-Somewhere near Sasktoon- One Year Earlier

Senet was in a NCR prison camp, filled with thousands of tribals, Canadians, and anyone who fought against the NCR. She and a friend she met there staged a revolt, she and about one thousand fellow prisoners got out of the camp, but not before her friend was sniped by a NCR First Recon sniper.

"NO!" she screamed
---------------------------

[JD FROM HELL]

Lake Federation Military Command, The Pitt

"General Horatio, we have well, been tracking some tribesmen from Lake Simcoe, they are now in New Manhattan."

Horatio slammed his mug in anger. "Why didn't you tell me! I want them killed!"

"Too late sir, most are dead already."

"God damnit, thats not the [censored] point! We need to keep them in Canada, John told us that they are not to be allowed south of Lake Simcoe! We pushed them out of Toronto and killed them all for a reason!"

Alexander Scalatti

"Woah there Mr. Mieux, I like you and all, but I am not changing my last name, Scalatti has been in the family since Italy, and I an not giving that up." Alex said as he put down his book.

[Kanaoka]

Mieux grinned, "Kid, Mieux is a formal name, it's the name behind the business, your personal name is Scalatti, but, as a leader, you, and any future leader of Arcadia is Mr. Mieux, when it comes to business anyway." He gave another laugh, "I dont expect you to drop your name like I did, but you have to accept that you are now effectively Mieux in power and living. Mieux is nothing more than a title." He left the room, having concluded business with the people in the office, and went down the small staircase on the overlook of the penthouse down to the living area, and sat at a couch, sitting next to a floor lamp, the jukebox an old Annette Hanshaw song, but Mieux was to tired to recall what. He simply sat, loosened his tie, and just enjoyed the night view from the window.

[Chloe Yarnall]

Senet couldn't sleep all that night, she would wake up with a cold sweat, drift back to sleep, and the repeat. Thoughts of being deported back to the hellhole of Canada raced through her head. She also thoughts about the man who she had come to be attracted to. She decided she would go and figure out what to do. She got dressed in a T-shirt and jeans she had found in Portland, and left her apartment, she had about 1,500 caps, she was paid 500 caps a month. She decided to go find a bar, and get drunk. But she thought otherwise, she didn't feel like having a hangover right now, so she took off the T-shirt and jeans, and went back to sleep

[Trevi]

OOC: Alex, can you get Fairfield there? Especially considering what I think was a day has passed in the RP.

Director William Snowe

William ordered 3 scouts to bring Senet to him. He sighed as the satellite operator tried to fiddle with the controls to no avail to try and see "New Canada's" technology. But the satellite seemed to be unable to show exactly what they have in terms of technology.

"Just give it up," William said in a lazy fashion as he took a drink.
"With all due respect sir, nope!" The operator said enthusiastically. William smirked at his gesture and after a bit of small talk with the other councilors, Sonia burst into the room.

"Guess what? I got the blueprints!" She yelled triumphantly as Sonia threw down the stack of blueprints, other diagrams, and a bunch of mechanical models of a Tesla Coil. The council all began to get fired up as they organized the engineering teams.

William seemed the most excited. "Sonia...you're...AWESOME!" He yelled, completely breaking out of his cold business mood and hugged her in front of the entire council. Some awkward chuckles were heard but the council was too busy with the blueprints.

After the display of affection, the engineers, who had just came into the council room, examined the blueprints. Their verdict: it would take 3 months, one month to create one and two to modify it to fit the Plasma Lamp's power output. And in one month, the Plasma Lamp would either have to be taken off line or go create a nuclear explosion.

William sighed but nodded reluctantly. "Alright, you better get to work then," He said, still happy for Sonia. It was her entry test for the council and she passed with fly colours.

OOC: Icouldn'tthinkofaname(awesome name by the way, no sarcasm), just RP that one of my scouts found you.

[Kahli St Dennis]

OOC: Okay

Senet heard the footsteps, she quickly got dressed down into her armor and grabbed her rifle, but she knew by the footsteps one girl against more or less 10 men would end up with her being killed, she threw her gun on the bed and opened the door, three men grabbed her and knocked her out, she woke up in a cell room

"Where am i? Who are you? What the hell is going on?" she asked

[Jodie Bardgett]

Ignore the double post...um...it happens.

[no_excuse]

OOC: Alright...besides it was only 3 people. In any case, I'll roleplay I got there when you woke up. Oh and as I describe Horizon Square in Antium...bear in mind that it basically looks like an ultra small version of any beautiful park.

Director William Snowe

William watched as the scouts shuffled back in the room. After the delivery, the council meeting was adjourned and he sat with Sonia waiting for his scouts to come back. They did.

"Sir, she's in the NSU prison," The scout said as he left again. William nodded and he pointed to the satellite operator. "Keep one of the screens pointed to Fairfield's Vertibird at all times," William ordered as he and Sonia headed for Horizon Square.

As they walked, despite the reason why they were walking through the beautiful Horizon Square, both of them had to admire the beauty. Miniature water fountains dotted the small nestled square as they spouted clean fresh water pumped directly from the Chesapeake bay and purified of radiation. Fake trees were planted all over, real ones unable to grow very well due to the atmosphere.

Soon, both of them made it to the NSU building. William nudged Sonia. "Tell me again why I built the NSU HQ with the high security prison in this beautiful square?"

"Because you're an idiot," Sonia said with a big grin in a very teasing voice.

After some more friendly banter, they stopped the moment they got to the door to the high security prison. William heard a voice, "Where am i? Who are you? What the hell is going on?"

He smirked and held Sonia close before they headed to Senet's cell. As he looked over her, she was pretty. Although it wasn't like he was going to go for her, he was married for Christ's sake. But Nikov's description was spot on, a cute athletic girl, as he described him.

William sighed and shook the thought out of his head. "Senet Massri? You're in Antium, a city allied with New Manhattan. My name is William Snowe and I am the Director of this city...which is like the autocrat of this city. As for what's going on...well that's for you to decide whether or not you'll cooperate."

He paused for a bit and then continued. "I want to know the Canadian army's strengths, weaknesses, and the same for the NCR. Now go," William said, gesturing for her to tell him everything.

[mishionary]

"Look! I'm just a foot solider! I know that the Canadian army can easily moblize, but it lacks in morale. I don't know anything about the NCR! Just please, i want to leave!" she begged the man

[Sierra Ritsuka]

Director William Snowe

"Look! I'm just a foot solider! I know that the Canadian army can easily mobilize, but it lacks in morale. I don't know anything about the NCR! Just please, I want to leave!"

William sighed. "I couldn't care less about whether or not the Canadian Army lacks in morale. I'm talking about TECHNOLOGY! Do they have vast arrays of communications? Any satellite control? Anything?!" He yelled.

Sonia stood by watching silently but she couldn't help feel bad for Senet. It was like she was back in the interrogation chamber when her village was burnt down to the ground by GP or now, Antium Peacekeepers(APK).

[Laurenn Doylee]

"THEY HAVE RADIOS! THATS ALL I KNOW!" she screamed at the man "I don't know about the technology they have!"

[Elea Rossi]

OOC: Try to add more to your posts. I know that there's not much to add but Senet thinking or asking a question. And I'm not good at playing other people's characters so add more meat to a post, even if it's just one small paragraph's worth.

Sonia Snowe

"You know what, Sonia, you interrogate her, meet me at the Penthouse when you're done," William said as Senet yelled at him. He left the room leaving Sonia and Senet. Truthfully, William simply wanted to test Sonia to see if she'd get information or not and from her track record, she seemed very good at it, whatever she did.

Sonia stood in front of the cell bars and awkwardly sighed. She never had to do this before and she took lots of pity of Senet. "Sorry..." Sonia whispered just loud enough for Senet to hear.

Then it was time for business. "Listen...I'll tell you what William didn't tell you. We're from Antium, a military run dictatorship...but despite what you have been lead to believe, everybody here is wealthy. There is no rich and poor, the only divider is citizen and government. So there you have it. And the reason why we're interrogating you is because simply...NCR is a threat."

[Teghan Harris]

"Sorry? Don't take blame that's not due, but onto the matters, why the hell do you need me? You should know the NCR is bogged down, they think we are still in Saskatoon, but we left, we've been running a decoy op for years with those Californians. And how do i know this? I've gone through files in the shelled out HQ at Toronto, i don't know if this is even accurate." she said, she was pissed off, but she didn't show it.

"Now please, let me go, I am a mere foot solider, I have done nothing wrong." she said
