[Quick draw II]

SIGN UP IN OOC THREAD

Rules:

1. Keep Things Civil: I have seen many threads locked because of uncivility. Keep things clean and don't insult other people.

2. Post Length: I don't really care about the length of a post, but make it longer than just a sentence ok?

3. How Much You Should Post: If you are a main character or want to be one, post at least twice a day (this is not a binding rule.) If you are a side character, post at least once every two days or so. All I really want you to do is to make sure you are on top of whats going on. This RP is quick, and just missing a day can mean that you missed some key plot points.

4. NO UBERING: This is major. Don't play a god character. Don't uber at all, it ruins the RP for everybody. Please, follow RP canon. If you have to take an elevator to get to a location, don't just fly your vertibird, land, and just waltz in. Follow the lore that has been set.

5. Don't Do A Major Plot Change Without Other's Approval: Don't nuke a town to the ground unless you have approval.

6. Major events: Major events require planning. You HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME to plan a major event in the RP. Smaller events like a visit, no, you do not have to go through me. But a LARGE event like a huge battle, yes, go through me first.

7. Ask Questions. If in doubt, ask a me or a fellow RPer a question via OOC thread or PM. Don't assume, ask questions.

[Laura Tempel]

Alexander Scalatti

Alex looked at Joey with a look that could kill. "Look Joey, what would you rather have? A corrupt Communistic dictatorship in control of New Manhattan? Or a couple new mutants. I made the decision for a couple new mutants, no big deal. It did happen a while back, but get all the evidence before marching in on MY [censored] front door."

New Laketon

New Laketon was in chaos. Most did not support Donald, but he had a large portion of the army on his control. Within hours, he had taken all of New Laketon and began to march on the military city of the Pitt.

But first, he needed John taken down. He flew in a vertibird to New Manhattan, and landed right outside the gate. After some asking around, he discovered that John was at the CAPone.

[Alex Blacke]

Joey Gallo:

"I thought I had it all." Joey said out loud. "What Communistic dictatorship? Are you serious Alex? Government doesn't mean [censored] in a nuclear wasteland."

[AnDres MeZa]

Alexander Scalatti

"I thought I had it all." Joey said out loud. "What Communistic dictatorship? Are you serious Alex? Government doesn't mean [censored] in a nuclear wasteland."

Johnathan Fairfield was pissed. Before Alex could even respond, John jumped out of his seat and glared at Joey.

"Look [censored]! The Communistic Dictatorship is Antium! Where have you [censored] been you moron? [censored]! We are no longer in a [censored] wasteland! The world is rebuilding, especially in my country! Sorry for my insults, but comon!"

Alex nodded. "The Gauss Project enslaved all of New Manhattan, and I saved the city. Be glad."

A small live band was playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS6-b7CONDI

[Ashley Clifft]

Joey Gallo:

Joey burst into laughter

"You must be joking Mr.President, Antium can barely be considered a city. Why haven't you done anything about the psycho who runs the place? Mr.President, I have been right here, in New Manhattan, swiping ground from The New Manhattan Mafia, making it if you two would ever want to 'annex' New Manhattan, you would receive little casualties, other than the Cambinos."

Joey's guards almost raised their weapons at John.

"Alex, I am fully aware of the Gauss Project. That was the straw that broke my trust of William's back. Why won't you two declare war?"

[Liv Brown]

Alexander Scalatti

"Alex, I am fully aware of the Gauss Project. That was the straw that broke my trust of William's back. Why won't you two declare war?"

John spoke before Alex could even take a breath, "Its more complicated than that. Right now, my country is embroiled in two conflicts at the moment. We are fighting Canadian Tribals in Canada, and we are fighting slavers in Pennsylvania. We could declare war, but it would be far to costly."

[Fiori Pra]

Joey Gallo:

"Mr. President, I have 500 trained men JUST in Arcadia, I have many in New Manhattan, The Slums, and Bridgeport. I could easily call them to wipe the floor with William and his Nazis once and for all. But if you want that to happen, I would appreciate a little help, maybe artillery to blow his checkpoints and walls sky high. Maybe even avenging the deaths of the Band." Joey tried to strike John's nerves. Joey then turned to Aldo, his adviser

"Sir, you do realize what your getting into, thats just about 2,000 men total, but we will need garrison! The Gambino's might attack!" said Aldo

"I know, I know, place all of the men on Alert." Joey said

"Mr. President, Alex, do you want the constant fear of having a Nazi at your front door?"

[Jennie Skeletons]

Jordan Argero

After seeing the destruction of his house, Jordan knew it wouldn't last much longer. He left his house late at night, and walked towards CAPone. He entered the bar, asked around for Alex, and eventually was told Alex's location. Jordan headed out to see Alex, and tell him about what the Mafia man had told him. Jordan kncoed twice on the door before entering.

"Sorry sir, but--- Oh, is this a bad time?"

[kat no x]

Alexander Scalatti

"Sorry sir, but--- Oh, is this a bad time?"

"This is a great time, besides that my old friends are all pointing guns at me, accusing me of being a bigot and VAT dipper, and demanding my resignation from my post!"

[Penny Wills]

OOC: Haven't posted in a while eh?
Director William Snowe

"Sir...you should come see this..." A satellite operator said nervously.

William dragged himself to the satellite surveillance and then froze at what he saw. New Laketon was literally at war. Although the satellite couldn't get an accurate zoom on what was happening, it was clear that there was fighting amongst themselves.

And then, alarms went off. A Lake Federation Vertibird was detected at the entrance of New Manhattan, a safety measure in case New Manhattan was attacked. William growled and turned to the satellite operator. "Get a report on what's happening!"

Immediately, William radioed Fairfield. "Your city is in flames and a Vertibird of YOUR signature is parked right outside New Manhattan. It seems there's a coup going on in Laketon."

[Craig Martin]

Mieux waited for Sutlers response, working at the mainframe in his old office, Mieux woed internally, compared to the custom hardware in the penthouse of his former residence, this machine was terrible, but, it'd suffice for now. "Colonel, according to this here, the robots have detected a nonhostile intruder, would you be so kind as to greet this person, see who they are and what they want." The colonel silently nodded in farewell and exited the double doors of Mieux's capacious office.

Mieux continued to click and tap keys, uploading his holodisk and old server software onto the mainframe. It wouldn't be as powerful until Sutlers supplies came through, but in the meantime, this had to suffice. After several minutes. Mieux heard Mr. Utopia, the former DJ of Arcadia and the vocal AI of his programs. "Hello Mr. Mieux, finally resituated?" Mieux chuckled tiredly, "Yes my friend, I have. No time for idle pvssyr though, we'll need to move forward a few steps with our plans as events in the wider world have to a head." Mr. Utopia's voice expressed concern, "Mieux, I don't think thats a good idea, according to your data inputs, it says we have a 36.57% function capacity. What systems are you turning off to compensate the need for power?" Mieux paced thinking deeply, calculating things in his head, "Well," He looked to the computer, his face a little gaunt, due to stress, " Security and this mainframe are obviously vitals. We'll shut down all lights on every floor save the lobby and this penthouse level. So we'll have all lights in the lobby at a dim light level and maintain this floor at normal level. Alright, you ready Utopia?" Mr. Utopia gave a clearing of his throat and said confidently, "Ready sir!" Within seconds, he saw the meter on the mainframe rise, indicating power surging to the terminal. He then spoke into the Wattz radio "Mieux to Enclave, tell Sutler he needs to come with that technology NOW." He then turned it off, indicating he wasnt asking, he was demanding it.

Mieux then gave a sigh, "Alright Utopia, let's get this over with, the crap shall be hitting the fan soon. Mieux opened up a page labeled 'Arcadia subsystems' Which held miscelaneous options. He clicked 'Speakers' which controlled all speakers installed in Arcadia and New Manhattan put up by Mieux. "Mr. Scalatti, if you aren't in your penthouse, I suggest you do so, or find the nearest terminal that was installed during my position as Proprieter and CEO of Arcadia."

After Alex found a way to speak to Mieux, who was not able to use a picture since this server lacked the processor abilities. "Mr. Scalatti, I wanted to adress you for a reason, as of now, I have routed all control of the power that was once in Arcadias control, it's been routed, well, I think it's best we don't say where for now. You have the number to this radio frequency, so that's what you'll use. As of now, you have fourty eight hours to make a decision, your decision is simple, either return full control of Arcadia to me, you can maintain control, but in return, you'll be paying me 5 caps per kilowatt hour, or lastly, you can refuse one of those choices, and suffer the last option, plunge Arcadia into darkness until you choose otherwise. I expect to hear from you when you come to a conclusion. Good bye, and good night, Mr. Scalatti." He then turned from the terminal, and walked towards the executive lounge across the hall.

Mieux sat in front of a wide shatterproof window in the lounge, drink on the table next to him. He simply looked out at the bright lights of Arcadia, Mieux, who was currently in an old business offices with no lights in the area, seeing Arcadias lights in the distance was an esoteric feeling inside him. He looked down at the Enclave logo'd Wattz radio, then looked back out, hearing the gentle classical music the lounge played, tracks Mieux knew from back when he worked here.

James Beneteau

James up by the verti bird on top of the parking structure. He is checking for evidence of Brotherhood in the area while checking for any modifications done to the aircraft. "Seems i could learn a bit although i don't have tools to look inside i should be able to run a diagnostic inside if the hatch can be opened" he thinks to himself while checking the area for traps before he tries the hatch on the aircraft.

[quinnnn]

OOC: the vertibird is locked, but it was stolen from the BoS and painted the entire body a silver color with the standard of Arcadia on the side.

[matt]

OOC: RGR

James Beneteau


James giving up on the locked verti bird he heads back down towards the street. He wonders if he should just go into the building a few bots shouldn't be too much of an issue plus they may just be non hostile in the first place "the only way to see is to find out for myself" he mutters to himself. He walks towards the building weapon drawn in case he is attacked

[Greg Cavaliere]

The Vertibird touched down outside of Mieux's traced location, the remains of the old Chryslus Building. The engines didn't stop, indicating a swift operaion; a squad of soldiers scrambled out of the doors, almost before the Vertibird had even stopped moving. There was a loud cracking sound as the heavy bolts which kept the external cargo hold sealed slid back, Major Kong was leading the operation; he stood back and co-ordinated the unloading of several unassembled computer servers, mainframe's and terminals, noticabley absent were any signs of Enclave camp equipment. Kong turned to the looming tower before him and raised a megaphone to the front of his helmet.

"Mieux! I am Major Kong from the Department of Homeland Development & US Army, we have brought you half of the agreed upon computer equipment; President Sutler says that..." Kong pulled out a small piece of paper from a hardpoint case on his belt. " 'Your flipancy will not be tolerated, your revival as any kind of power in the region largely falls upon my shoulders, your offer is weak; you do not call the shots or give the orders. Await further equipment and garrison.' Do you have anything to say to us, being out here isn't really how I planned to spend my evening you know."

OOC: As I said at the base of my last fan-fic post, serious IRL problems at the moment, posts may become erratic in nature for a week or so, more than probably begining tomorrow. Will do my best to keep posts coming though .

[liz barnes]

Alexander Scalatti

Within a few minutes, Alex's perfect life was turned on its head.

Alex holstered his gun, but he then received a call from Justin. Justin spoke in a serious tone, but gave Alex three choices. After hanging up, Alex's face turned red.

"That good for nothing [censored] son of a [censored] moronic [censored] [censored] snake piece of chicken [censored]!" Alex yelled as he tossed the terminal onto the ground in his office.

Ann ran inside, "Whats wrong honey?" She said with worry in her eyes.

"Meiux, he [censored] stole all the electricity! He now wants ME to pay for electricity wattage! [censored]!"

Then, John received a call from William."Your city is in flames and a Vertibird of YOUR signature is parked right outside New Manhattan. It seems there's a coup going on in Laketon."

John ran inside of Alex's office and explained the situation. Alex handed him a phone to call the Pitt.

"Hello, Pitt Military Command? What the [censored] is happening?"

Even through the phone, John could hear the carnage. There was machine gun fire going off, mortar fire going off, and soldiers giving commands.

"John, its me, Horatio. Donald Crosby has led a coup. He massacred a ton of people in Laketon, and now is attacking the Pitt to gain supplies for his rebel army!"

"Hows the fight going? Tell me!"

"Well, they have numbers, but we are mowing them down at the bridge. Hell, most of their soldiers have no guns."

Then, the door slammed open. 10 well armed Lake Federation soldiers entered the casino.

"Ann, whatever happens, keep the door locked."

Ann nodded, trying to fight off the tears. She knew what was about to happen. Alex walked over to the office bedroom, unlocked a safe, and pulled out a Sub Machine Gun. He handed John a pistol. They both took positions on the far sides of the door. Then, Alex kicked the office door open.

Time seemed to go into slow motion for Alex in the seconds following the door kicking. He easily mowed down three Lake Federation soldiers, the rest went into cover.

[scorpion972]

Joey Gallo:

Joey saw as Alex and John's life went up in flames. He then saw about 10 men burst into the Casino. Alex shot at the soldiers, killing three.

"Damn all! MOW THEM DOWN!" Screamed Joey, his men complied without a word. They shot at the men, their guns firing the hot lead. Joey turned to Alex

"Just like old times." He said with a grin, Joey kept firing his .44 Magnum.
-----------------------------------
Garrison at New Manhattan:

Soon, all that was good for the Garrison was gone. They were besieged by the Cambinos, soon, nothing would be left of their small fort. SVT-40 gunfire rang out of the Garrison's building, mowing down many Cambinos. The radioman called for the Mayor of New Manhattan

"DAMN ALL!" He screamed as he shot his gun "WE NEED THAT SUPPORT!"

The Cambino's burst into the building

"GET THIS MESSAGE TO FRANK!" Hollered the radioman "KILL THE CAMBINOS!"

[GRAEME]

NSU Chairman, Jimmy Uzinen

"You didn't know about this?! DO SOMETHING!" Nikov yelled through the phone. Jimmy's face went into a very angry expression as he disconnected the line. He turned to one of the NSU Squad Leader.

"This is what I want you to do...go to the Federation Vertibird and put a bullet in the Vice President's head."

The NSU Squad Leader saluted him and left with his squad to a charter Vertibird, still taking civilians to Antium from New Manhattan after the hostile annexation of New Manhattan by Mieux.

NSU Deep Cover Unit 46

Unit 46, the eyes and ears of New Manhattan where V-L 1-3 and the military satellite couldn't go. Even before the Vertibird touched down, they knew about it, and reacted accordingly. The 4 man squad rushed to respond.

Slipping into a Federation disguise was easy as there was plenty of loot from dead Federation soldiers back during the First Battle with the Lake Federation, including Federation gear. Unit 46 headed closer to where Alex was and headed closer and closer, disguised as Federation soldiers.

Slowly but surely, they headed to the "battlegrounds" near Alex's office before they saw Alex kill three Federation soldiers before ducking in cover. 46 blended into the remaining seven Federation soldiers who were taking cover.

Before the real Federation soldiers could turn around, all four of Unit 46 shot, killing four more of them before turning the corner. There were only three left.

[Milagros Osorio]

Liam "Starrk" Conners - Port Neptune - Pauper's Drop

Twenty minutes slowly passed which Liam used to lounge on the unconscious conspirators rotten couch. A four door black car rolled down the street parking in front of the tenement. Looking out the window Liam saw two men with sub machine guns raised exiting the vehicle and surveying the area for threats. The driver killed the ignition and stepped out of the car walking over to the obese man still lounging on his lawn chair. Not waiting for the Suns to come to him, Liam lifting the comatose man slinging him over his shoulder fireman style and made his way down the stairs. Exiting the building he drew the attention of the Sun member conversing with the slumlord.

"So what's this about Conners?", the tall, heavily scarred Black Sun inquired.

"This guy needs to be taken to Moffet, for interrogation. He's part of the plot trying to oust Graves."

The imposing figure looked toward the limp figure that Liam was carrying with s snarl. "Say no more."

After depositing the body in the back Liam climbed into the front passenger side door and the car sped off from Pauper's Drop.

[Lizzie]

Jordan Argero

Jordan heard a bunch of stuff go down at once, all of it taking a huge toll on Alex. All Jordan knew was that Alex was the only person who had ever been kind to him his whole life. Jordan would do anything for him.

10 soldiers burst into the casino, and Alex killed 3 of them. They hid behind cover, and Jordan spoke to Alex.

"Sir, that's the area where the tiles are weak. If you shoot at the ground around them, they should fall through the floor!"

[Antony Holdsworth]

Mieux shrugged, though it couldn't be seen. "Half? How unreliable of Sutler. I'm not going to argue semantics. It's the full requisition or nothing. I won't be short changed by Sutler. Now, begone. Don't blame me for having wasted your evening my good sir, blame Sutler, he's the one who thinks this is a game of who's tougher." Mieux saw the Vertibird take off and went down to the lobby from the elevator. He complained as it landed on the ground floor with a rought jolt. "Humph, need to get that fixed." He then straightened up his face and said in a musical note. "Oh Andrew!", and a man on a ladder soldering wires stopped and lifted his welding mask, his face decomposed from the radiation, "You called Mr. Mieux?" said the raspy voice. "Indeed I did. Listen, since you're pre-war like me, you know the city too. I need you to go five blocks east of here, take that old military truck at the blockade with you and head to the old RobCo warehouse near the docks. I need you to bring back any functioning non rusted terminals, mainframes, holotapes, et cetera. The Enclave, Sutler in particular, want's to play pissy, but now's not the time for childish displays of whos more powerful." He watched as Andrew, in an old RobCo jumpsuit, led the other two ghouls to go salvage equipment. "Colonel, you take care of that guy lurking out front, if he's hostile, kill him, if not, ask him why he's here." Mieux, didnt even stay for long, he simply walked up the grand lobby staircase, hands in his brown suit pockets, and ascended back to the top of the office building.

[Lyd]

James Beneteau

James "looks like they noticed me" he says while thinking " not that its hard to spot me in this huge armor". He approaches them walking casually but with a bit of caution when he noticed the ghouls pass him they most likely noticing his armor. He surveys for any other possible dangers while the man he does not know gets closer. "Evening sir id ask you what you are doing here but that seems more like the question you should be asking me" he says when the man approaches him. "Well sir ill answer, I was going to loot some place down the road when i came across this place with still functioning security and people in it. ill just be frank from here on out sir I need a job if your hiring id appreciate the opportunity sir.. if you have no problems hiring a remnant soldier anyways." he says with his weapon put away to seem as polite as he can under that dark armor.

[Mason Nevitt]

Alexander Scalatti

"Sir, that's the area where the tiles are weak. If you shoot at the ground around them, they should fall through the floor!"

Alex nodded and began to shoot wildly at the tiles. Jordan was right. The floor caved in and the soldiers fell through the floor, impailing themselves on the wooden floor. It was a gruesome sight.

Then, a huge blast was heard from Alex's office. "ANN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Donald and six power armored soldiers entered the main casino room. Donald was holding Ann and had a gun pointed to her head.

"Let her go!!!" Alex yelled as he pointed his gun at Donald. Donald just laughed.

"Where are you John?!" He taunted. John walked over from behind a corner.

"Let her go Donald, let her [censored] go."

"I don't take orders from you now John, I am the new leader of the Federation."

"I'm not related to her [censored], she's just a random woman." John reasoned. He reached into his pocket, a knife was at the ready.

Donald smirked, "Nope, I know, she is the wife of your best friend here." Donald tightened his grip on Ann. She let out a little yelp.

"Let her GO!!!" Alex yelled. He did not want to lose Ann. They had known each other for their entire lives.

[Elisha KIng]

Joey Gallo:

Joey, receiving a call from the New Manhattan Garrison, bolted out of the casino right before Power Armor men burst open. He ran back to his operation station.

"GET MEN-" He never finished his sentence, Cambino's burst into his Casino, killing patrons, Mafia, and anyone who was there. Joey grabbed a .44 Revolver and shot wildly into the Cambinos, there was too many, he bought his time carefully and got out of the killing zone. He ran to his house, stuffed a suitcase full of all of the things he would need, and ran for the hills. He felt sorry for Alex, but there was nothing he could do, he ran straight into New Manhattan, he was met with dead Cambino's. He sprinted across New Manhattan, and got to a bridge, ruined with old trucks and rifles. He turned back, looking at his former home

"New York...New York...." He muttered. He thought for a second, he realized he was abandoning some real good things. But there was nothing left, he placed one final call from his house a hour earlier:

"To All Mafiosos under Joey Gallo, report to the meeting station Alpha. The Mafia is gone, I repeat, the Mafia is Gone. Go to Meeting Station Alpha.

[Epul Kedah]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti

Flaring his nostrils, Frank narrowed his eyes down onto the deathclaw. He noticed how Lyn was among the crowd and managed a wink before Tony yelled.

"Fight!"

Immediately the deathclaw lunged at the Mayor, the crowd let out a gasp, sure that their leader would be engulfed in its' grip instantly, but to their surprise, he dashed out of the way, stepping to its side, and offering a teasing smile. The beast snarled and turned towards Frank.

"Is that all you got?" he snorted. It merely hissed in reply before lunging once more. With ease, Frank stepped out of the way once more, much to the shock of the crowd. To them he must have seemed like a blur. The large foe continued to make hissing noises as it attempted this several more times, but the Mayor dodged it each time, casually. He let out a mocking yawn after several minutes of this, and seemed to have angered the deathclaw.

Standing still for several minutes, it merely glared at him.

"Tired already?" he chuckled. "You see, people!" Frank said, turning around and raising his arms. "No beast is a match for your Mayor!" he called out, and received a thunder of cheers which was suddenly cut short by a sharp scream. The deathclaw had suddenly made its move on the unsuspecting mayor, scratching it deeply. A jet of creamy white substance spewed all over the ground. Frank howled in agony, falling to his knees and gritting his teeth.

You got cocky Frankie. Not again. Time to finish this.

Grimacing, he stood back up, this time determined, and solemn. "So you like it rough, huh?" he croaked, clutching the gashes in it's back and arms. "Well, I'll show you what humans are made of!" he roared, causing the audience to burst out once more. In a sudden leap, Frank approached the deathclaw and kicked it hard on the knee joint. The sound of cracking was followed by a loud hissing, making it evident that Frank had hit home.

A satisfied smile curled onto his face as he watched the creature fall to one knee. "You want some more?" he snickered, before offering another kick, causing another sharp cry to pierce the ears of the audience.

Glaring, the deathclaw rose and gashed Frank once more, shrieking in pain, he reverted to his old tactic of dodging it's blows. It was much easier for him since the deathclaw was limping now. Before long, the deathclaw seemed to tire out and slow down significantly. Several kicks and cuts later, it fell back onto it's knees panting. Frank himself was in no presentable state at this point. His shirt was shredded, along with most of his torso, his hair was completely awry, and he was covered in dirt. However, he remained in control. With one final tackle, he pushed the beast onto the ground, securing a victory.

The crowd erupted into applause, and everyone ran towards him, cheering. Several people carried him up onto their shoulders to march him back into the office to sit him on his chair, while getting him beer and bandages. Each person chanted. "Long Live Vercelotti!"

---

Once Franks wounds had been treated in the clinic and had taken a shower, he sat in his office, requesting Lyn.

"How did I do?" he smiled, once she finally arrived.
