Alexander Scalatti

Alex sat down at Mieux's desk, no wait, my desk. Dean Martin was being played on the old TV, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS6-b7CONDI

Oh wait, I need to address the people. Alex walked over and opened up some doors to the balcony, most of the people down below looked up in awe.

"Hello people of Arcadia, I am the new Mr. Mieux. I am sure that certain, rumors, have been going around, such as me dipping people into VATS, and me being a rebel and a terrorist. I can explain everything."

"First, I am not a rebel, but a slave freer. William Snowe enslaved New Manhattan, and I fought for freedom, which the city got. Next, I did dip those poor souls into the VATS, to that, I am sorry. It haunts me every day."

"I may be new, but bear with me, I will unite this country by the end of my life, to this I promise." Alex then left the balcony and went into his apartment. The crowd was cheering.

[Amie Mccubbing]

Though it was night, there were still pidgeons out, and Mieux was sitting on a bench in a small park with trees, tossing seeds. He hadn't adressed anyone, simply sitting on the bench with his elbows on his knees, watching the pidgeons peck at the mix of seeds and bread he purchased from a food vendor. He was listening to the music of ANR, which was broadcasting gently on one of the nearby speakers installed throughout the Arcadia. He was eased up and lied down on the bench, staring at the tower in front of the park, the words 'Mieux Hotel' embroidered above the doors. He started wondering what to do, having spent 10 years running the hotel and the last seven running a settlement, he was used to being busy, but now he had nothing to keep busy with. He looked high above as heard a voice booming loudly from the roof, Alex standing high above, city. Standing on the same balcony Mieux first made his shady deal with the ancient Sutler from before the War. Alex was giving a brief speech trying to clear his name, to Mieux surprise, the citizens didnt seem to care, as long as the casinos, glitz, and luxury kept running as usual, they couldnt care less who ran it. As quickly as he came out to the balcony, he had gone back in, to which Mieux chuckled and thought aloud, "Becoming a recluse already? hehe"

Director William Snowe

As William closed his eyes, knowing that the moment he died and the Tesla Coil was complete, a dark age would reign. Adrian wasn't fit to rule anymore, his agenda of completing the Alpha Omega project was clouding his mind.

But when he reopened his eyes, there was no laser blast burning off his chest. John was standing in front of the laser. "First, he is not a commie, that is just a recruitment tool, second, he's right. Killing him will only make things worse Crosby, you know, and I know it."

William breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Fairfield realizes with my death would come an age of endless war

The Vice President stormed out of the Penthouse and John spoke to William. "Sorry about that William, now about the amount of equal taxation. I say, 6 percent will suffice?"

He nodded, still confused about what just happened. "Ok...Okay. It'll stay constant throughout this agreement. Now...next in business is this whole 'commie' thing. I don't get what people hate about communism but apparently, the communism and freedom brawl 200 years ago seems to still persist. Get rid of it. It prevents us from allying small tribes and forces us to exterminate them."

[Jimmie Allen]

Lyn Grave

Lyn sprinted off after Frank as they raced to Antium. Frank was still going faster, so she called the alpha male to give her a lift. It took a little while for the deathclaw to get there, and Frank was pretty far into the distance at that time. Lyn wasted no time getting on the deathclaw's back before it took off in a dead sprint towards Frank. Slowly but surely, the deathclaw gained back lost ground, until the Frank and the deathclaw were at an even position. Lyn took time to stick her tongue out at Frank from the deathclaw's back.

[Karine laverre]

John Fairfield

"Ok...Okay. It'll stay constant throughout this agreement. Now...next in business is this whole 'commie' thing. I don't get what people hate about communism but apparently, the communism and freedom brawl 200 years ago seems to still persist. Get rid of it. It prevents us from allying small tribes and forces us to exterminate them."

"I can't." John shook his head. "We rally troops by that cause, you see, about five years ago, the small Canadian tribes of the Toronto Peninsula decided to attack Detroit. We pushed them back, but I had enough. We rallied under the 'anti-commie' slogan, and massacred almost all of the tribesmen in the Peninsula. We as humans always need someone to blame, whether God, race, leaders etc. We choose to blame Communism, as they started the nuclear barrage."

Alexander Scalatti

Alex decided he and Ann needed some fresh air. All of this was a lot to take in, especially for a 24 year old man and for a 23 year old woman.

Both Ann and Alex took the elevator down to the lobby. Alex chased away the servants and aides and left the hotel. Arcadia was beautiful, neon lights, casinos, markets, it was a paradise in the wastes. Now, all he had to do was to combine Arcadia and New Manhattan together, with Arcadia being the fancy district, and New Manhattan as the downtown.

"So Ann," Alex stammered. "What are you're ideas for this city."

Ann couldn't help but smile. "Well, we could plant some more trees, that would help."

Alex nodded, "I want to rename this town, something catchy like New Town or something, Arcadia sounds just, well, to animated you know?"

Ann nodded in agreement.

Then, Alex saw Lyn on a deathclaw racing with Frank.

[Julie Serebrekoff]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti

Frank continued his dash towards Antium, nearly half-way there when suddenly he found Lyn at his tail on the back of a deathclaw. The Mayor faltered for a moment, thinking the deathclaw intended to kill him, but noticed Lyns expression and thus knew otherwise.

Before long, Lyn was finally alongside Frank and even teased him, sticking her tongue out as he continued running.

Oh, playing dirty are we? he grinned, and flashed her a wink before taking this to the next level, sprinting faster than he had ever before in a last ditch effort to gain the lead. While he did so, he knew deathclaws were infinitely faster than humans and thus would arrive at the city first.

Suddenly, the Mayor saw a glimpse of Alex and his wife as he blazed by.

"I want to rename this town, something catchy-" was all he could hear Alex say, and understood instantly.

"Call the whole thing Great Manhattan!" he called back from a distance as he kept his pace.

While he meant it more as joke, once it registered in his mind, he liked it. Great Manhattan. Sounds pretty snazzy on the fly. he realized, amazed at his own creativity.

---

Before the hour, Frank was finally in Antium. The city was much smaller, but far more technologically advanced. It were as if someone expanded the Gauss Project bunker, then tore down the walls. It probably was the limit of what the Director could achieve.

"Well this place is something else!" he exclaimed, and he came to a brief stop, not having to catch his breath like any ordinary man. He looked up and down the well illuminated and new looking streets.

Now how the hell am I supposed to find Senet? he began wondering, placing one hand in a pocket while the other one held a cigar up to his mouth. It's probably best if I see the Director himself. the Mayor decided finally. It was rather unusual for the Mayor of a city to be out in the open with no security whatsoever, but Frank was not just a politician. Being a trained hitman, he could easily handle himself if any trouble came his way.

[RaeAnne]

OOC: I'm surprised Frank has taken the transition of power so well. :laugh:

[Yvonne Gruening]

Senet heard thumping, not footsteps, but thumping

"What the hell?" said someone in the lobby

She saw a deathclaw

"Damn it, what the hell is a-" she saw a familiar face, she stormed out the door and ran toward the man

"Thank god you came! They took me, they want to know about the NCR, and the Canadian Army, but all they cared about was the technology, odd, but hey, everyone's got a hobby."

[Mylizards Dot com]

OOC: He had a plan up his sleeve, remember?

Oh yeah and Name, could you please make your posts more emotive? Not just dialogue. I'll try and fill in some stuff for you with this one, but from now on give us better material to work with. Explain details of your own character as she's not 100% developed yet so we could get a better idea of her, plus internal thoughts and describing the environment around you. Thanks!
BIC:

Mayor Frank Vercelotti - Antium

As he mayor stood there pondering, a woman burst out of a building to greet him. He immediately recognized her as Senet, the woman from before. Her bronze skin glowed in the sunset and her hair fluttered in the soft wind.

"Thank god you came! They took me, they want to know about the NCR, and the Canadian Army, but all they cared about was the technology, odd, but hey, everyone's got a hobby." she said to him.

Frank looked into her innocent eyes as he replied. "Well, that's Gauss Project for ya." he chuckled, taking a drag of his cigar. Realizing that Lyn was nearby he decided to introduce her. "Lyn, this is Senet. Ex-Canadian Army." he told her. "And Senet this is Lyn, she's from the West. A beast lord." he explained. "And my girlfriend." he added, his face turning slightly red at the mention.

Between two bombshells. This can't end well. he mused. Ironically, these were exactly the kind of situations he had been in before several times, although he never knew if he would make it out or not. If I'm not killed by a bullet, I'm gonna be killed by a woman. he always joked.

[Laura Simmonds]

Leon "Eclipse" Graves - Arcadia - Military Base

As Leon and company made their way back to the heliport he heard the voice of Arcadia's new ruler Alex Scalatti trying to make excuses as to his actions.

"Humph! We'll see your true colors soon enough, human dipper!", Leon scoffed.

Getting back aboard the bird it began it's trek back to Port Neptune.

[No Name]

Lyn Grave

Lyn watched as Frank bolted ahead in a burst of energy. Not wanting to be beaten, she coaxed the deathclaw into running even faster. Lyn regained the lead, but still only arrived at Antium a few second ahead of Frank. Seemingly unphased, Frank came to a halt and immediately lit up a cigar. Lyn jumped off the back of the deathclaw, who proceeded to lay down on his belly, obviously out of breath. Lyn started scratching the deathclaw's back as praise. She knew the deathclaws had a hard time itching their back with the horns that protruded from there. A woman soon came out of a building then, and approached Frank.

"I assume this is who you were talking about?" Lyn added.

[Dylan Markese]

Senet smiled at the woman on the Deathclaw

"Wow, you have a Deathclaw! These beasts roamed all over where I used to live, we'd breed them for food and eggs. Well, until the Canadian's came...." he voice trailed off thinking about her long lost tribe, she noticed Frank was blushing

Embarrassed, figures... she thought

She leaned away from the couple and saw the wall was torn off

"If only I had a deathclaw!" she joked.

[Robert Bindley]

Lyn Grave

"You BREEDED deathclaws? For food? That is very hard to believe, especially since deathclaws consider themselves to be far superior to humans, thus making them near impossible to domesticate. Plus, their meat is tough and leathery." Lyn shrugged, then went back to scratching the deathclaw's back.

"Oh, and I have a whole nest of them, by the way. I would estimate that there are around 80 of them. One of them is even capable of speaking." Lyn added, without taking her attention off the deathclaw.

[Da Missz]

Alexander Scalatti

Alex took and a jeep to Antium, and ran over to the group with Ann. Lyn, Frank, and some mysterious woman Alex had never met before were talking. Frank was blushing heavily.

Damn, musta banged them both.

"I saw your race, erm, that was very wild." Alex chuckled as he adjusted his fedora "I might ban street racing." Alex looked cautiously at the deathclaw. It was much too close for comfort.

Ann had noticed the new woman, and decided to introduce herself. "Hello, I'm Ann Scalatti, pleasure to meet you."

[^~LIL B0NE5~^]

OOC: Alex, you realize that they're in Antium right? And how two Deathclaws were let past security without being shot at by 30 guards is beyond me. But I really don't mind, I can roleplay that in easily.

Director William Snowe

William nodded as John explained the whole "commie" recruitment campaign. He smirked as much of the recruiting campaign in Antium was about bringing honour and power to their family, which they did, but not as much as recorded.

I guess everyone bends the truth one way or another... William mused. He nodded solemnly to John before Sonia shuffled into the room. Her face was red, either from crying or frustration, nobody could really tell. Sonia gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry William...I couldn't take that you were just making any old deal with our enemy..."

As she sat down, William shook his head. "Vengeance won't bring us our first wedding back, neither will it bring back my control of...." The radio rang.

"Uh sir...we just saw a man, identified as Mayor Frank Vercelotti of New Manhattan, race Lyn Grave of Bridgeport...on Deathclaws...to the main street of Antium. The people know them so it isn't causing an uproar...should we send a unit to dispatch?"

William sighed. Vercelotti HAD to have a fancy entrance didn't he? He radioed back, "I'll be there soon, send three guard squads to keep them from going anywhere."

"Yes sir...and uh Alex just walked in, that's causing severe negative responses from the crowd...we're sending in riot control along with the AG squads...."

He turned to John. "I guess we're done here. My main point was to get rid of the feud between the governments. I see little point in keeping barriers up...figuratively. In any case, I'll deal with the disturbance. Sonia, you're welcome to follow."

Sonia complied immediately as the two shuffled in the elevator to the main floor and in a second, the Personal Guard, armed with full body combat armour and Kevlar skin armour underneath fell into line with perfect timing. The two headed to the main street and sure enough, something of an uproar was happening.

William yelled to Frank. "Great entrance, you managed to spook my guards! And YOU," He turned to Alex, "Great to see that you, Mr. Scalatti, is breathing in my city. Just don't cause another revolution you terrorist," William groaned in a bored fashion.

[Vincent Joe]

Alexander Scalatti + John Fairfield

He turned to Alex, "Great to see that you, Mr. Scalatti, is breathing in my city. Just don't cause another revolution you terrorist," William groaned in a bored fashion.

Alex laughed a bit. "Well, I'm no terrorist anymore." Alex said as he pulled out his Arcadia keycard and waved it in front of William. "I am now the leader of Arcadia! Mr. Mieux stepped down, and gave me power!"

John Fairfield ran outside from the Zodiac tower. His guards formed a square with John in the middle. They forced their way through the crowd, even vaporising one man who had a knife who tried to kill John.

John walked over to Alex and gave him a man hug. "Great to see you again Alex, wow, that is a impressive key card."

"Ayup, I run a city now."

Ann, surprised, skipped over to John. "I haven't seen you since the vault, its great to see you Johnathan."

John bowed and kissed her hand. "I see you married my friend here, I knew that would happen."

Ann blushed. As this was happening, Alex walked over to William. "I don't think you met my wife, Ann."

[Stace]

Director William Snowe

Alex walked over to William. "I don't think you met my wife, Ann."

William just gave a "tch" and sighed. "I have...under very stressful conditions. During which the Gauss Project first revealed their hand, back when you were a pain to acquire. By the way, I'm guessing Lyn is of Bridgeport?"

Sonia flinched. As time went on, Sonia counted Lyn as a friend ever since she started to "date" Frank. But if Lyn is the new leader of Bridgeport, everybody in Antium knew what would happen. All the mutants would either be eradicated with a virus or would be assassinated by NSU forces, not by William's hand but by the collective riots of the citizens.

NSU Chairman, Jimmy Uzinen

"Mr. Chairman, did you get that?"
Jimmy smirked. "You bet I got that. This would be very interesting, watching two newcomers try and lead a city. In any case, we'll be assassinating the mutants soon, hate those sons of [censored]."

The Ghoul Squads were all sent to Bridgeport a while back, all that was left was activating them. Mutants were more accepting of ghouls rather than humans and that was a simple fact. Jimmy turned his chair around.

"Activate the ghoul cells in 4 days...if nothing goes to a fluke. If the mutant leaders are assassinated correctly, they'll blame ghoul high. Then we step in as their protectors, they join in as citizens...and we'll get more workers."

[Emmie Cate]

Alexander Scalatti

"I have...under very stressful conditions. During which the Gauss Project first revealed their hand, back when you were a pain to acquire. By the way, I'm guessing Lyn is of Bridgeport?"

Alex shook his head. "Nope, my friend Harris runs the town, but I influence it heavily you know? Since I am now very powerful, I might annex Bridgeport into my holdings."

Then, one super mutant walked out from the verti-bird, he was piloting the craft. John shook his hand. "Thanks pilot, we should leave now, take us to The Pitt first."

"Yes sir, its been a long damn time since I have flown a bird, I was one of the first to test this baby out, back in 2077 near Los Angeles, now the Boneyard."

John did not know that William hated mutants.

[Jordan Fletcher]

Mieux sat on the bench still, his heart heavy, he was in a casual brown toned suit, wearing a tieless white dress shirt. 'I hope I made the right choice. I did, didnt I?' He furrowed his eyes as another voice, another part of his concious said warningly, 'maybe, let's just hope Alex doesn't abuse his power and become a harsh god complexed dictator, power has made many a man go mad with power, thinking they were truly God.' Mieux raised his eyebrows in concern, 'I founded this city with the intention of owning all, controlling none. Frank is happy with his position, but, knowing him, he wouldn't overreact to Alex, there MUST be something I'm not aware of going on.' He looked overly sad, 'But, if Alex DOES cause something bad, what can I do? I'm just a man now, but, it WAS me who built up relations, maybe I COULD make an alliance against him' Then, in desperation, his concience wanting to be willfully blind said, 'No No, you're over reacting Justin, calm down, you're jumping to conclusions.' Mieux said aloud, finally unable to contain his thoughts, "I sincerely hope I AM over reacting." He started walking down the street feeling strange, 'I went from all seeing and seemingly all knowing to average man. I do miss it, but, I can't just ask for power back. Maybe someone will find need for my business prowess and genius' he thought hopefully.

OOC: I do hope someone can find a use for me to come back into the plot, since Mieux has nothing to do now :laugh:

[Beulah Bell]

OOC: Zerker, Lyn was the only one on a deathclaw. Frank was on foot. And the way I think about the deathclaws going past security is that most people know that the deathclaws belong to Lyn. Plus, if they killed one, the rest of the nest would seek revenge. I know we all don't really want war, though.

[KU Fint]

OOC: I have some plans for you Mr. Mieux...having to do with Antium's future.

[Laura Ellaby]

OOC: How do you vaporize someone with a knife?

Mayor Frank Vercelotti

The Mayor stood idly enjoying the breeze and admiring the city architecture, not listening to the exchange between Lyn and Senet. They're both feisty, they can handle themselves. he smirked to himself. In the distance he heard a humming coming from behind him, and noticed it was a jeep holding Alex and Ann. Oh, so they decided to join us? Since Franks primary objective of coming down to Antium was to rescue Senet, he now had nothing to do as she seemed to be free. The Mayor felt like taking a stroll down the streets of the futuristic looking town and meeting up with his old friend in exile, Director William Snowe.

His cunning mind had made plans for the time when Mieux had stepped down, and he wished to put those plans into action. For that, he would need Snowe. His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of the two in the jeep.

"I saw your race, erm, that was very wild. I might ban street racing." Alex chuckled as Ann introduced herself to Senet. A crowd had gathered at the arrival of the two and there was some commotion forming around them. Frank casually continued smoking his cigar when the Director made his appearance.

"Great entrance, you managed to spook my guards! And YOU," He turned to Alex, "Great to see that you, Mr. Scalatti, is breathing in my city. Just don't cause another revolution you terrorist."

"Good to see you too, Director." the Mayor bowed courteously, before allowing Alex and the Director to begin a verbal argument. Before long, yet another man made his appearance, apparently an acquaintance of Alex. As they conversed Frank grew more and more uninterested. It's their town, let them run it the way they want. he shrugged. He had his own plot up his sleeve, that he would soon share with Snowe.

"Oh, Director?" he interrupted. "We haven't met in a while, would you care to give me a tour of the city, maybe even show me your own office?" he asked, winking in such a way that only Snowe could see. It was Franks code for We need to talk business in private. and since they had spent so much time with each other ruling New Manhattan before, Frank was certain Snowe would recognize it.

[Ana]

"Oh yes, we did breed them, very hard though, but we did." she said, longing for home

She then saw a jeep roll into the town, she shuttered
------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry Pierce

Harry walked into the town of New Manhattan, strolling along, he knew if guns started blazing, he'd dive in the river.

"[censored]in town, people must live in tiny huts....." said a solider infront of him

"Shut it, we're here to find them, since most of em are dead, we're looking for two. The Colonel, and that Corporal...." he hissed

"Okay, so how do we find them?" asked the same solider

"Well, the Corporal, not so hard, how many Arabic people do you know?" he said

[Nancy RIP]

Lyn Grave

"I'm surprised...and impressed. The only way I can keep these deathclaws in line is through my telepathic suggestion. Now that they are mostly used to me, it doesn't take as much effort though." She got up from attending to the deathclaw to extend her hand towards the girl to shake.

"I'm Lyn. I know you've met Frank, and I'm his girlfriend."

[Daramis McGee]

OOC: Name, you could have Harry find the Colonels disfigured body laying around, as he's been executed.
