Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!

Don't fall ... Kathy thought to herself, with barely enough space to tuck the small pistol inside her bra. It was practical, that was all - trying to hold a purse to her chest was neither advisable nor at all comfortable, and she threw the object to the ground as quickly as possible; the poor looters who snatched it up as she dodged past them would find little more than a mirror, some blush and some eyeliner in there.

Six hours ago, she had been waiting in her Gomorrah suite with Alfie lecturing her ... ah, Alfie. Silver-tongued and the best agent she had ever had, and she didn't usually enter into statements like that lightly. In the chaos, he had gotten lost on the ground floor, and she didn't want to think about what might have happened to him. Six hours ago, however, he had been unscathed, warning her that there was something not quite right about this job. All the six and the booze, it only made sense that her starring role would only come with her clothes off. Strange that she had stopped caring so much about these things right before the world ended.

She tottered on high heels through the crowd, sweating more heavily than she had ever known herself to. Screams and fire, and ... it was like Hell on Earth; the sinners, all gathered together in one place, trying to repent or claw their way back to normality. Reaching the other end of the Strip, just past the Lucky 38 - somewhere that she could at least recover a few short breaths before deciding what was next for her - she stared out at the rioting crowd once again. She could do the math easily enough; a woman in finely tailored, figure-hugging clothes with a somewhat recognizable face wouldn't last five minutes in a crowd of these animals. Perhaps it was more hellish out there than it was in here, but at least there was more space, more chance of finding civilized people ... more chance of finding a body or two to scavenge from ... Lord, she was turning into one of them already.

Kathy slipped off her shoes, not caring for the label now that the world had dissolved into chaos - for the second time during the day, she made a break for it. Barely able to run in her skirt, and feeling the cold metal of the pistol against her chest, she stopped and turned only when she was far enough away to watch the steam rising off of a heated, animalistic crowd.

Back in the dark room, Mieux was finally aware of the situation. Mieux sat there, hissing "No! We can't open that door. We're best kept to ourselves. Maybe he'll go away!"

Mieux slipped off his suit and put it in a small rucksack he'd found in a corner, and redonned his armor. "Alright guys, circle around." He let the group around him then said in a slightly more raised voice. "Hey, Vegas Vic" he said, nodding to Sheriff Hoover, "You go get whatever it is you need to go grab in the morning, once my pocket watch strikes ten A.M., I'm taking these guys to go to the car. We'll make our way to the El Dorado Station, refuel, then curve through Nipton, then Primm to Goodsprings." He then pointed to the shopping cart. "See all those things in there? We'll turn these sheets into makeshift bags, carry our goods to the car, then split." Then, in a flash of thought. "WAIT!" Mieux whispered loudly, "What about Mount Charleston? It's bound to be safe right? And it's got an old Ski Lodge up there we could easily hide in. We'll run through Goodsprings so he can check the family, if they're okay, we'll take them with us. It'll be a cramped ride that's for sure. Sound good?"

OOC: Nuclear, if you intend to catch up with our group, you better find out how you'll run into us :laugh:

Luke walks to a nearby window (if there is one.), and attempts to kick it in, attempting to break it. Luke then shouted "I need in, open the [censored] door, I have supplies! I can give you some stuff!" and while this was happening, The Mr. Gutsy was firing at the looters with the plasma rifle, who then returned fire. the 9mm bullets did little to pierce the Mr. Gutsy armor, meanwhile. the Mr. Gutsy robots on the strip made sure to deal with the rioters at the ultra-luxe.

"Sounds perfect, I visited Charleston a couple of times, perfect place to hide out. Theres now way those [censored] commies bombed that place, I just hope America has sent there fair share of nukes back at those [censored] Chinese bastards! I sure hope Susy is okay, if not well... I don't even want to think about it."

Johnson regain consiousness, his face - though still clad in the gasmask - was pressed to the wooden floor. After pulling himself to his feet, Johnson approached one of the windows through which the light of day was streaming; even the sparse vegitation of the Mojave had been burnt clean, he could see the wreck of his car half sunk in the lake. He leaned against the wall and - slumped against it - sank to the floor; he pulled of his gasmask, wincing as he had to rip it from the clump of dried blood which had been dripping from his forehead as he slept. After pulling the other filter from his pocket, replacing it and then pulling on his gasmask Johnson got up. The fawcet he had noticed couldn't be drunk from now, he wouldn't take the chance.

"Where the hell I am going to even begin?" He said aloud.

After grabbing the rest of the contents of the survival kit, Johnson slowly edged open the door to the station and into the light of day; the world seemed a lot better than he would have honestly imagined. 'The windows haven't even been broken;. After reaching an interesection, Vegas proper hoved into sight and was not what Johnson was expecting, not a single building had collapsed.

edit: rushed, going to college :)

OOC: Indeed! xD I'm working on it, though, don't worry =) Kathy has a plan! Lol. Also, apologies for the slight hurriedness of this post ... I'm in class. ^^;;;


Doubled over, a short distance away from the main gate, Kathy could still hear the same screams tht had echoed throughout the Strip. People turned feral, beasts, losing their minds as the world collapsed around them. She had since picked up a more substantial pistol than the one she already owned, and it was now tucked uncomfortably into the waistband of her skirt. Not for the first time, she was doubled over and gasping for air, praying to a deity that she had only ever been taught to believe in that everything would be okay. That nobody would seize her about her waist and drag her off to some desolate corner of the city, kicking and screaming while rubble fell all around her. She would have to find something new to wear, and preferably something that wasn't covered in the blood of strangers ... that would be the day.

Wincing, she continued on, knowing that her stockings had now been torn to shreds, and that her feet were cut and bleeding. The faster she walked, however, the less it seemed to matter, one hand hovering over the pistol tucked into her skirt, ready to pull it out and fire if anyone assaulted her. As if it hadn't been bad when she had been in the business - any woman that crossed her path was a potential threat, just one more obstacle that would get in her way and prevent her from landing the starring role. Now, there was much more than just a lead at stake, and Kathy knew it well. Even as she stumbled, hurriedly, into the airport, she had a feeling she would be needing the pistol, even if she had no idea how many bullets it had left in it. Ammo. She probably should have picked it up.

"Huh ... Gomorrah might've been safer." She muttered to herself, unnerved by her surroundings. The fact that most of the people who had passed through her were probably dead by now, or worse ... that she could hear the bestial echoes and gunfire ... getting trapped inside again didn't sound like much of a hoot, but neither did getting caught in a crossfire.

CS:
Spoiler

Name: George Hayes
Age: 32
Occupation: SWAT

Personality: Sarcastic. Cocky. Stubborn. He is the type of guy that exaggerates stories, “it wasn't just one guy, it was five and they all came up behind with hammers and shotguns, but luckily...”. He's never afraid of a confrontation and is usually the one to start it, he will always make a joke of the situation, even if it's a funeral. He's stubborn, he won't let go of something once he wants it and getting him to see your side will be very hard if you don't have a silver tongue.

Traits: Blunt and straightforward, not easily offended, hates smoking.

Height: 6'7
Weight: 250Ilbs
Appearance: George is a man made mountain, with broad shoulders and rippling muscles. He has short flame-red hair and magnificent handlebar mustache of the same shade. He is almost always smiling as shown from the creases in his face and his eyes are a bright green. His hand are about the same size and shape of spades, a scar runs up his left hand from ricochet. His complexion is a tanned one from spending hours outside and he has a a couple of scars across his torso.

Apparel: He wears his regulation LVPD SWAT outfit...A blue, long sleeve shirt with a tactical vest over top, reading Police across the chest and SWAT across the back. A matching blue cap completes the outfit.

Misc: SIG P210, 2x Clips of ammunition, the Bible

Nationality: Irish

Brief Bio: Was born in northern Montana, a farm boy. He spent most of his time on a ranch with his father after his mother drowned in a nearby lake. George and his father were always close and they formed a strong bond through activities like fishing, hunting, and horseback riding. George attended the local public school which was about fifteen miles, right next to town square. They didn't have the best supplies or top of the line equipment, but the children(mostly boys) learned what they needed from their fathers and mother since most never strayed far from home.

Unfortunately his father developed lung cancer and when he passed away, George could no longer run the ranch by himself and sold it. With no where to turn and no relatives to go to, George decided to enlist in the armed forces, which he hated. The war or wars had not really begun yet, anchorage was a far off thing, yet all was not calm and there was plenty of action. After seeing one of his friends killed by a landmine and another by a child with a frag grenade, George was glad when his tour was finished.

However, he was still unsure on what to do. He was thinking about going back home, but the country life no longer appealed to him, it moved to slow and was closed to the outside world. Instead he used the skills he knew and took the exam to make it into the Special Weapons and Tactics division of the Las Vegas Police Department.

He spent the last decade or two of his life in Vegas and has grown fond of it's warm streets and lights, it's druggies and hokers. Fortunes could be made or lost in an instant and it was in constant motion, a stark contrast to the country life. He loved it and his dream of returning home, he realized, was no longer a dream just a distance wish in the past.

Starting Point: The Strip( Controlling Riot )


George Hayes
-The Strip-

The world is ending, just like in Revelations

Besides the fact that I was trying an impossible mission, the world had just flipped over on it's side, and the police station had apparently been bombed, I still wanted to lean over to my partner and whisper:

“Told you so.”

My partner, Steven, a proud atheist just looked at me with the “what the hell are you talking about” look. Before turning his attention back to the angry mob that we were trying to control. It was impossible though the amount of people to police was just too much, their was plenty of gaps. Tear gas and stun grenades did no good, just too many people.

And all honesty, they had a right to be angry, the U.S of A was just nuked after all and even some of the police officers were out in the streets protesting. But me and Steven were determined to keep the peace, or at least try to.

I was crouched behind my riot shield, but it hardly was able to protect my mass. That was okay though , it also gave second thoughts to attacking me. Though that wasn't going to last long, one of my squad mates had just received a couple pot shots, he open with a few shots from his sub machine gun.

“You dumb ass,” I shouted.

They were just civilians, they were pissed, yes, but not at us. Now they were.

A saw man run up from the crowd with something lit in his hands, I was already moving as my brain made the connection, I shouted but there was no need, they saw it too.

“Molotov!”

Steven shot the man with two shots in the chest, he went down gurgling in his own blood, but it was too late, it flipped through the air and broke at the bottom of the steps, right behind us. The officer that had fired first was immediately caught in the blaze, Steven only got a small bit of the splash, but it was enough.

The fire licked at his limbs and, climbing up his torso, he went down screaming. Our uniforms were not flame retardant.

“NO!”

The mob was able to surge forward now and the rest of the officer were forced to scatter, The Tops would have to defend itself now. I pushed through the crowd, parting the people like water, if anybody stood in my way too long I knocked them down. They didn't seem to care, it was mob mentality and they were focusing on The Tops

I found Steven laying on the ground, some of his clothes had melted to his skin. He was covered in burns and his hair was all gone, but he was still alive. I was ecstatic, I did not want to loose my partner of ten years. True there was other squad mates, but Steven and I were closest.

I picked him up gently and laid him over my shoulder. First I had to go to one of police cruisers and get the first aid supplies, then find a hospital. The Med-X and Stimpacks would keep him alive for a while, but he needed advanced medical attention, like a new set of lungs.

I did not bother to take the police cruiser, the streets were crowded, and the mob was likely to target them, I had no clue where the SWAT van had gone too. As I was running without trying to jostle Steven too much, I noticed that law and order were gone now and that uniform made me sort of a target.

A man ran up to me with a switchblade, screaming like a banshee, a grabbed his hand and squeezed. There were numerous popping and crunching sounds and he fell down grasping his mangled hand and crying. After that, people seemed to steer away for a while, but I knew it wouldn't last.

For one, I had a gun. That alone was attractive enough and I had an injured man on my shoulder, it marked me as a vulnerable. I knew I wouldn't be able to get to the hospital with Steven on my shoulders, I would need somewhere safe.

A small apartment building caught my view,

Perfect.

No one would want to loot a small apartment building, as I approached it, I saw a man shouting and trying to beat in a window. The security door had been rolled down apparently, as I walked up next to him, he fired off two shots, the window shattered, though there was still large chunks.

"Hey, the names George, you want in to huh?"

He looked like a trained solider and I found it easy to trust him.

"If you don't mind, I'll go in first and check it out."

First I put Steven through the window and then I squeezed in, I was barely able to fit through the window and I cut myself on the glass, but I was through. I checked out the are, the SIG held in front of me, the bottom floor seemed to be goo.

"All clear,"

I moved upstairs to find a barricade made of just pile furnited and assorted junk.

"Hey! Is anybody there! We've got injured, we don't need supplies, but we need somewhere safe."

My voice was deep and booming, echoing of the walls. Steven moaned and I was actually beginning to worry that he might die.

"But don't worry about it, it's just death, I'm sure he'll get better."

(Ytriumm: There's a security door, you won't be able to get in.)

Luke was frantically pissed off, he grabbed to one of his nuka cola bottles and removed the bottlecap, taking a couple sips. Luke shouted to the people "[censored]! Let me the [censored] in!", then he sat down, still sipping his nuka cola. He thought "[censored], why can't I get in?" and then he looked to his 9mm caliber pistol, which he could possibly break the glass with, he then got up and aimed toward the window, and squeezed off two shots.

Mieux, paranoid it was a trick. "Alright folks, I know it's not quite dawn, but we're bumping up the plan, might be raiders trying to trick us. Let's use the fire escape. Don't tarry, if anything happens to someone, on your head be it." He then slung his rucksack on his shoulder, and threw wrapped sheets to the others, those are the food and radio, I have the meds, let's go."

Mieux slowly and cautiously slid the window in the apartment up, letting the others out first, then himself. He let out a soft whisper, "Alright guys, down the stairs, into the alley, and it's a quick dash, no stopping, even if you get a stitch." He climbed down first to lead the party through the back alleys. The alleys were clearly neglected and dirty, long before the bombs fell. He'd force a pause, checking when they hit the streets to make sure they were clear enough. Luckily, the rioting was largely gone, now just stragglers and folks unsure what to do with themselves. "Alright, let's keep on going. Almost there, maybe three minutes left."

Off by two minutes, Mieux got to the clearing on the south side of Vegas. "Well well, it's all clear." Mieux stopped ded after they passed an alleyway. "You guys go to the car, I'll be there shortly." After he saw them off, he ran down the alley and kneeled to the barely covered body of a woman. "M-Maria. Is that...is that you? What happened?" Her eyes, swollen and her face beaten, she hoarsely whispered, "When we g-got seper....seperated. I fell, then....guys took me....and they....they..." He put a finger to her lips. "Don't worry. Are you okay?" She faintly nudged her head in a no. "I want....to die..." she whispered. Mieux, his heart plunging in pain at what he knew would happen, kissed her softly, closed her eyes and fired his silenced 10mm into her forehead. "The end was painful, mon cher, but in the your death, you knew no pain. May your soul find rest life could not give." Tears gently rolled down his face as his cheek rubbed hers. He covered her with the blanket in his sack, then proceeded to fix his appearance as though all was well.

"I apologize gentlemen." Mieux said smiling, "Had a small problem to take care of, my boot came untied." His heart feeling what his face wouldnt show, he unlocked the car door, pulling out of the garage of the gas station and when he reached the Black Mountian and Quarry Junction area, he turned left towards the direction of Hoover Dam. "I head the bombs hit Black Mountain, keep the windows up, maybe the rads arent strong enough to reach us."

He steadily drove along, his mind unable to forget the act he just commited, an act of love that broke his heart.

"Alright, let's keep on going. Almost there, maybe three minutes left." Miuex said

“I’ll meet up with up in Goodsprings, I need that Holotape and my car” Jason said to group before turning and walking back down the alleyway…

Drawing his plasma glock, Jason slowly walked out on street and back towards the strip, most off the rioters has moved away from this area but there was still a few people smashing shops and a robot..

Upon reaching the strip, Jason could see a young blonde boy dragging Barlow body out of this car “ get away from my Car “ Jason said aiming his pistol at the would-be car thief.

“ Whoa okay just don’t shoot, I just wanted his gun “ the boy replied , as picked up Barlows plasma pistol and slowly walked away..

getting inside the Car, Jason open the glove box, the Holotape was still there..

“now I just need a pipboy” Jason said to himself whilst placing the Holotape in his pocket and starting the cars engine.

Turning the car around Jason slowly drove down the streets, several rioters tired to jump on the car, only be shot off by Jason…

I’m not going to get anywhere if I have keep-shooting rioters off; I need to find a driver.

Turning the corner, Jason was outside the airport “ I bet someone can drive in there and isn’t crazy” Jason said to himself as he parked the car outside, looking around not many people were outside as the army had driven them away from the airport..

five minutes , then leave with or without a driver

Getting out the car (and taking the keys), Jason walked into the airport and called out “ hello does anyone know to drive a highwayman car? Or shoot a plasma pistol? ” to people inside…

Johnson was walking somberly up the road, dragging his feet slowly one after another up the long never ending road, the heat of the desert bluring everything; he had his jacket over his shoulder, loathed to throw it away as he probably wouldn't get one again. His face though was burning, sweat pooling inside his mask. Suddenly, a car hoved into distance over the horizon and was speeding towards him; Johnson didn't really stop to consider the practicality of his next move, his will and energy were sapped, his very reason for travelling forgotten. He pulled the laser pistol from the holster of his rifle and held it sloppily in his hand, squeezing of a shot - which actually went several feet above and to the right of the car - before collapsing to his knees and then face first onto the even hotter concrete of the road.

Luke nodded to the unknown man with the nearly-dead guy around him, Luke crawled through the window, wearing the US-ARMY issued gloves, he looked to what was inside, a Nuka cola vending machine and Luke said "[censored] YES! Jackpot!"and ran to the machine, pressing the buttons frantically, nothing came out due to him not having any money, he thought "[censored]!" he then turned outside and saw a abandoned car, with they keys inside. Luke exited the building through the broken window and opened the car door and got in, He started the car and rolled the windows up and started driving out of Las Vegas. Luke drove down Interstate 15, He drove past good springs, Primm. Everywhere mostly, He made a turn on to Interstate 95, and drove down it, heading toward Hoover Dam. As he was driving along the back of Black Mountain, a man in a tuxedo, with a burnt, melting face. was running towards Luke's car. He was screaming, and that was the first sighting ever recorded in history, of the "Ghoul" and the car drove on faster, moving towards hoover dam, some minutes later, the car stopped at hoover dam, No cars were in sight, most likely due to the instance that it was night-time when the bombs hit.

Kathy pulled out the pistol before she really knew what she was doing. It was the roar of the engine that had startled her, rather than the rioters or the screams. The surge would come soon enough. As soon as someone promised a vehicle and a weapon, they would come ... good thing that she was a little way apart from the rest of the crowd, then.

"Hey!" She called, used to having to raise her voice enough to be heard at the back of a theater. She didn't even realize that she was waving the 9mm above her head as a signal. "Hey! " She called out again, picking up speed as she moved towards the driver, unsure of why she was so keen to put her trust in a stranger. Perhaps it was the fact that he had not dissolved into violence and theft that told her she stood a chance if she followed ...

She held her free hand to her chest, massaging it a little as the stabbing pains in her chest surged again. She had never done so much running in her life - dance classes were one thing, but this was fatigue, out and out. She tucked some stray curls behind her ear and bent over, leaning against the vehicle and glancing across at the driver.

"Any chance of a girl catching a ride with you?" She gasped, forgetting her usual composure. Now was not the time for pristine appearances, clean clothes and not a hair out of place. If the situation called for it, she would do anything that was required. "I don't much like the idea of those animals taking me down, if you know what I mean."

It had been a good amount of time, an hour or so. The car was running low on fuel, "Damn, going to have to stop up at the El Dorado Gas Station across from Helio-" Mieux swerved and drove off the road into the sand. In anger, Mieux got out of the car. "Hey you dike! What the hell's your problem? And where the hell did you get that laser pistol from?" Mieux hadn't taken out his rifle, instead he picked the guy up off his knees. "HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Mieux stopped, realizing the man was near dead from fatigue. "Aw geez. Let's get up to that gas station, oh fellow RobCo employee." He pulled the car out of the sand and drove a few feet further to the gas station, leaving the guy inside the car. "Hello? Anyone here?" Mieux heard that twangy Western music popular with the small town desert folks on an old speaker, yet no one in the shop. He walked to the cooler, his combat boots clicking on the wooden floor, and found some water and Nuka Cola. "Heh, I hope this guy won't mind getting sticky." He rushed back out and dragged the guy out of the car carefully. "Sorry about this pal" He untwisted the cold Nuka and splashed it all on the mans face and head, then the cold water. "Hey, you alright? Come on, get up."

Despite calling out he had a free and relativity safe way out of city, no one had answered Jason calls until a young girl, who looked like she worked in casino, leaning against the vehicle and glancing across at Jason.

"Any chance of a girl catching a ride with you?" She gasped

Two pistols, I wonder if she knows how to fire them?

“Do you know how fire those guns?” Jason asked to girl.

Jason then noticed several large angry people, who were trying to break past the airport secuirty turn around and walked towards Jason car, with a couple swearing “ that mans got a [censored] car!” whlist another grabbed a metal pipe..

“eer on second thoughs get in now” Jason shouted as he and girl got into the highway and drove out of town and down the highway 95…

after driving the highwayman car for around 10 minutes, they had reached what appeared to be a small train yard, stopping the car Jason turned and faced the lady he had picked up at the airport.

“I guess I better introduce myself, the names Jason Hoover, I guess former FBl agent now, I’m meeting up with some folks in goodsprings, would you come along or should I drop you off somewere?” Jason asked the lady...

Kathy glanced down at the pistol she was still holding onto, and then the smaller one, biting her lip a little.

"I can't say I have much experience with them ..." She admitted, but before she had a chance to continue, people were screaming all around her, and she tumbled into the car without a second thought, heart racing all of a sudden again. She righted herself in the passenger seat as the car swerved, sweeping her hair behind her ears and waiting for the dust to clear ...

"Good to meet you, Jason," Kathy smiled, holding her hand out. A smile ... a Pre-War gesture, but one that felt appropriate nonetheless. "I'm Kathleen - well, Kathy. You might have seen me around? I've been trying to ... well, that doesn't really matter now, I suppose," She trailed, although her eyes lit up at the thought of making a go of things, not giving in. "Well, my agent most likely got trampled underfoot in Gomorrah a little while ago, so how would you feel about me tagging along for a while longer? I have a few basic repair skills from when I--uh ... never mind that, huh?" She had almost slipped up there ... but then, was there really time to deny her heritage at a time like this? Kathy shook her head a little, retaining her composure, her smile, as best as she could, hoping that Jason wouldn't mind her presence.

OOC: Excellent, thanks for the linkage. =D

Johnson coughed and spluttered as some cold fluid was poured over his face, he stirred slightly though didn't regain full conciousness. He stared vacantly into the eyes of the man leaning over him, through his muddled brain something seemed familiar.

"You..." Johnson slurred. "Your a little fish from RobCo, rememember you from Washington before. My mask, the mask where's the mask!?!" He was dilerious for a moment. "A bomb fell near the mountain I need my mask. We need to get out of here and go far away to the West." He blinked slowly.

“[censored] that hurts, you little [censored], what are you doing?”

The bombs had gone off, order in Vegas was collapsing and this was my opportunity to be out of the gang life forever. Two of them were already dead and the third was lying there, in a private room in the Gomorrah choking on his own blood. Only seconds ago I had shot him with his pistol twice in his lower body, he had managed to keep up with the verbal assault of words for a few seconds now, but I was going to finish him. I pulled the trigger. He had been wailing and moaning and swearing the entire time, but now that the third bullet entered his body shattering god knows only how many ribs, his screams picked up much more volume. I wheeled around and made my to the door, all the people had deserted this room, and I suspected Gomorrah bouncers were on their way to check out the disturbance.

I opened the door and moved into the hallway, I strolled down it my left hand dragging against the wall, the “storage room” was before me, and I knew what was in there. My old crew and I had just deposited a shipment of weapons from LA there last night, and I still had the key to access the room. I opened the door and a small room was before me weapons on racks and unopened labeled boxes. I looked around for a few seconds and moved one or two boxes out the way until I found one that I was particularly interested in. The box had MAC-10 labeled on it, and the box itself was only as large as a suitcase, I scooped it up, turned on my heels and left.

When I got to the main floor of the casino I couldn’t believe my eyes, the psycho rioting folks on the outside had managed to bust through the doors, the guards armed with sub machine guns had managed to mow a significant amount of people down, but they kept coming. I pressed my back up against a wall and began to slide my way around the outside of the casino floor. The guards were now being tackled and beaten to death and the people kept going attacking people and dragging them off, and looting. I sprinted towards the still open front door, in a matter of seconds I was out the door and onto the streets.

Things didn’t look so bad; obviously we hadn’t been directly hit here in Vegas as most structures were still standing. Out here it was peaceful, the insane folks had moved into the casino and out here all was calm. I strolled down the Strip; there were no ideas in my mind as to what to do, should I stay in Vegas or leave? My decision was made for me when I saw a man in a car speed by, I started shouting, hoping he would stop, but he didn’t, he kept driving. All I got from him was a bad taste in my mouth from the fumes coming out of his car. Car, the it dawned on me, my crew and I came here in a car and I still had the keys. I put my hand in my pocket, and fished around for a few seconds before I felt the cold metal touch my fingers.

It had been a few hours of driving now, I managed to find my car, and thank god it was still relatively intact. Now I was nearing the small town of Goodsprings, hoping, even praying a little that there would be people there and that they would be friendly.

Ooc: probably last or second last post of night...

Jason Hoover

Good to meet you, Jason," Kathy smiled, holding her hand out. A smile ... a Pre-War gesture, but one that felt appropriate nonetheless. "I'm Kathleen - well, Kathy. You might have seen me around? I've been trying to ... well, that doesn't really matter now, I suppose,"

“I’m not from around here, I come from upnorth… , was hunting these two outlaws donnie and Jackie, been stealing Cars and robbing Banks in eight different states… “ Jason repiled

"Well, my agent most likely got trampled underfoot in Gomorrah a little while ago, so how would you feel about me tagging along for a while longer? I have a few basic repair skills from when I--uh ... never mind that, huh?"

hmm she seems to embrassed about her past, I will have to look her up, if I ever get back to office…

"Sure, it’s always good to have company on road” Jason chuckled as he started the cars engine and began driving down the road again

"“It’s a long drive to goodsprings, do you want to talk about anything?” Jason asked kathy

“oh and keep the windows shut, there might be radiation outside, it will make you sick. ”

edit:Bar: based on Nuclear's reply Jason and kathy will make a slight detour to Hoover dam to get some water...

OOC: No problems - will most likely be the same for me, college tomorrow and all that. =)

“I’m not from around here, I come from upnorth… , was hunting these two outlaws donnie and Jackie, been stealing and robbing cars in eight different states… “ Jason repiled

"I gotta say, that sounds pretty exciting - I guess ... well," She motioned half-heartedly towards the sky, her smile faltering a little as she considered it. "I guess the job's done, huh?" She paused, biting her lip again, having slid the pistol back into the waistband of her skirt.

"Sure, it’s always good to have company on road” Jason chuckled as he started the cars engine and began driving down the road again

"I agree with you on that one - always good to have company." Kathy's eyes brightened once again - the irony that she had tried to hard to distance herself from her family, only to not want to be left alone in the end. She swallowed. She hadn't thought about them, not for a long time. She shook the thought immediately, knowing that there was nothing she could do, now, just like there was nothing she could do about Los Angeles, or Hollywood ... or her career.

"“It’s a long drive to goodsprings, do you want to talk about anything?” Jason asked kathy

“oh and keep the windows shut, there might be radiation outside, it will make you sick. ”

"I could go for that - you said you were a former FBI agent, right? What ... what was it like?" Her broken smile turned gently into a grin as she questioned Jason, like a child asking a question out of sheer curiosity. She glanced momentarily at the window to her right, shut it tightly, and nodded. "I guess that's a luxury we'll all be a lot more grateful for now, huh? Fresh air ...fresh air and fresh water."

OOC: ^ there we go. xD

OOC: Last post of the night and I have sixth forum tomorrow :)

edit: just to point out , the Glock 86 plasma pistol is the offical name of the Plasma Defender in new vegas

Jason Hoover

"I could go for that - you said you were a former FBI agent, right? What ... what was it like?"

“Technically I’m still in the FBI but giving the bombing and that all my bosses strangely disappeared last month, I’m guess I’m out of Job but I did get to keep my lucky pistol “Jason chucked as he put his Glock 86 plasma pistol on the dashboard...

“Anyway it was a good job, I got to travel across the country, collect evidence, shoot bad-guy, you know like in all the movies…It’s that recently I’ll be forced to do some things I didn’t like but I guess it may have prevent the war, just not the bombing”

kathy glanced momentarily at the window to her right, shut it tightly, and nodded. "I guess that's a luxury we'll all be a lot more grateful for now, huh? Fresh air ...fresh air and fresh water."

“Speaking of water, we better make a stop at Hoover Dam” Jason said as he turned the Car down the road leading to Hoover Dam

“It might be the last place with clean water for awhile…” Jason said as the car pasted a sign saying HOOVER DAM - ONE MILE

Bar/ Nuclear: feel free to CC, the black highwayman car arriving at Hoover Dam and Jason stepping out the car and drawing his Plasma Glock.

Luke noticed the car stopping at hoover dam, and a man coming out, armed with a plasma glock, Luke pulled out his nuka cola, taking a sip, Visibly sweating. Luke turned to the visitor center, there laid out two bodies dead, all of there skin burnt off due to the radiation. He then turned back to the man and said "Introduce yourself! I'm Luke Mallicoat, US ARMY major! Serving at Nellis Airforce base."

Mieux responded without hesitation, "Oh that? You won't need that mask, we're going to eat you alive." His face dead serious, after a few seconds, he broke into laughter, "Ha! Just messing with you, I had you going though. But seriously, don't worry, apparantly the way the mountain is angled and the side the missles hit on, apparently we're shielded from the worst, see? Background radiation is suitable. But we're not staying here, we've still got a ways to go. We're off to Goodsprings, then Mount Charleston, wanna come? I mean, if you like anarchic cities with derelict airports, Vegas is about a days walk that way." Mieux pointed north behind him. "Anyway, you want to come, hope in, I have to fill the car up first."

He walked over to the pump, the pump was locked, with a hard kick, he managed to route the power on, fueling the Chryslus. He turned and grinned to the stranger with a Poseidon lapel on his jacket. "Hope you don't mind me taking this gas, I doubt money'll be any good to you." He trailed off with a chuckle and got in the driver side, his voice eminating from the car, "Hey Posiedon! You coming?"

"Hey Posiedon! You coming?"

'This guy on the [censored] marijuana?' Johnson slowly rolled over, the side of his face which had been laying against the tarmac was red from the heat; he clambered slowly to his feat, grabbed his jacket and gasmask, grabbed his survival kit and bailed into the car.

"What's going on in Vegas?" He croaked, "and isn't Mount Charlston in the other direction? Glenn Johnson's the name by the way, work for Poseidon Energy with the Government in Washington and I was working my way west for a flight of immeasurable value."

Laying his head back into the seat of the car, Johnson closed his eyes, there was another person in the car but he would get any introductions later. "That's my car there," Johnson said as they drove past the lake across from El Dorado.
