DodgeOh Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Lying in the snow, trying to catch some breath, (getting held by the neck by a super mutant is unhealthy to the respiratory system) Fenix looks up to the towering Sordo ponting his loaded gauss rifle towards him, and Hoage, a few metres from them. Sordo"Or I'll splatter his kidneys all over the snow!" HoageYou again? Didn't I tell you to think before getting into such pressing matters? FenixOh! It's you! Never thought we'd meet aga- SordoSHUT UP, BOTH OF YOO! After a few moments he notices that Sordo is looking at the Vet again, so the merc decides to take a chance: - He slowly crawls out from the gauss rifle's line, trying to stay as subtle and unnoticed as possible. Fenix *thinksIf the mutie won't pay enough attention when pulling the trigger, the slug will miss... When he makes sure the rail-gun is not pointed at him, he quickly pulls out his pistol and fires all the 8 bullets from its clip into Sordo. Fenix *thinksNow, if the old man is smart and quick enough he'll take care of the rest... if not, I should get up and try to run as fast as I can... ... or my kidneys will be indeed splattered all around in ten metres!

MajikMoshos Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) *I'm not sure about Fenix firing the gun into Sordo's shoulder from that position. However I can totally buy that he'd have a sleeve-gun or something, so...I'll leave it up to you if you want to change any detail and I'll edit my post a bit in response.* Hoage slowly shifts his right foot behind the left. SordoQuiet you shits! The mutant keeps his gauss rifle on Fenix, stupidly taking his foot off the merc's chest. HoageListen to what I say, mutie. Sordo grits his rotten teeth with an unhealthy grinding. Attention no longer on the talon merc - HoageCall me senile once, I'll let it slide. Call me it again, dum-dum, and I'll make sure you remember not to do it a third time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Petra places Aaron into a seat, strapping him in as he comes to. AaronP-petra...what is this thing? PetraIt's a vertibird. Daddy used to fly in one, remember? AaronDaddy...is... The boy suddenly grows scared - Petra barely reacts as the Pilot wraps his hand around her mouth. Pilot (rather creepy)Shhhh....we're gonna get out of here and leave the angry men to their own game, yeah? There are some people who are very eager to...see you... the sound of gunfire and a disturbing pop outside breaks the pilot's concentration - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thirty seconds ago.... Hoage slowly moves his hand over the 9mm as a sign of his warning... HoageDo you get it, mutie? SordoYou really think you can intimidate me? I've been around longer than you have ya senile sack of crap, and I've killed plenty a share of - Suddenly Fenix's gunfire rings out - Fenix's bullets banging into the unprotected under arm and jaw - more richochet off the plating around sordo's back, chest and torso, sending bullets everywhere as the mutant reels in pain and pulls the trigger - The Gauss rifle jams! Energy buildups inside as it overloads - Hoage fires round after round into Sordo's face and neck, blasting out the mutant's left eye and breaking a few teeth - Sordo brings up the gauss rifle with one hand at Hoage, clicking the trigger - the Microfusion cell EXPLODES, blowing the mutant's right arm to chunks bits of blood and gore falling all over Fenix's face. In great pain, Sordo falls back, going over a tall rock and rolling down a steep, snowy hill...Screaming the whole way. HoageDisqualified, motherf***er. Suddenly he hears the children's scream. He turns around - Kard/Id/Dark's dissappeared, footprints leading to the tunnel and fading away there. Hoage (to Fenix)Get off your feet Kid, and stick with me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mexican standsoff with the Pilot, holding an AEP Laser Pistol to Petra's head. Hoage keeps his 9mm trained, the pilot trying his hardest to keep the teenager in the line of fire of both Hoage and Fenix Pilot (faux-casual)Woah there buddy! This flight's booked! Hoage looks to distraught Aaron, then to Petra, who keeps her gaze squarely on Fenix Hoage (calm, as Charismatic as he can be)Leave the kids with us...You can go on your way and I won't try to stop you. PilotOh...my god, what am I - Do you seriously think I'm gonna fall for that s***? What, you think you've got good speech skills? They glance at the readers, then back to eachother. Pilot (sinister chuckle)You don't understand - some people would pay good money to see these kids. They've got a lot of value to certain customers! Hoage stares down the Pilot... Hoage (addressing Fenix)Merc...Can you fly one of these things? Pilot (lifting his head up)Wait wha - Hoage caps the Pilot in the head. Hoage (listing things off)Because we need a pilot...and someone who knows the lands. We're gonna need supplies, ammo, spare parts and fission caps for the bird and a way to hide the kids and keep ourselves quiet... Petra trembles where she stands, turning back slowly - the pilot sporting a fine hole between the eyes.HoageBecause we just pissed off the Golden Fist. *I should probably implement a rule where if an NPC's name isn't in bold, their fair game for being 'controlled' by other players, which includes killing them.Anton: Our characters are going to meet within the next post or two, so get your character ready and Good Luck!* Edited June 6, 2011 by MajikMoshos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeOh Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Covered in mutant-bits, from head to toe, Fenix gets into the Vertibird. As he steps in, he spots the two kids, Petra and Aaron, and Hoage in the cockpit talking to the pilot. He waves his shrapnel-torn, bleeding right hand to Petra, and Aaron. Fenix (smiles as he sees the shocked look on the kids', especially on Petra's face)Hi there! Nice to meet you two! Before any of them could answer, his attention turns to Hoage, addressing him: HoageMerc...Can you fly one of these things? By the time he looked there, the pilot was already blessed with a pierced head. Fenixumm...no... or at least I've never tried... ...*a moment of silence... ... look, thanks for coming by, Old man. Again. It could have turned out far worse if you hadn't shown up when you did... Edited June 5, 2011 by Fenix HuN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonkr Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) *sorry guys screwed up basically went afk before posting came back clicked post without realizing more things went on sorry :blush: *around 10 minutes before current events with the pilot dead*William finishes up hacking his pipboy to work once again. He tries to at least get it to be functional and display the date. He than sees a vertibird land. He patiently waits for it to go up knowing that if it was the enclave they cannot stay at one spot for a long time. He would expect them to at least turn off the rotor. He waits for around 10 minutes and runs to the vertibird to see the merc and the oldman talking. He looked through the small window and saw that the pilot was dead. He knew he needed help or caps. He raises both of his hands and screamsDON'T SHOOT MEI am a pilot I've captured and flown one of those before. I need help. Some food water and ammo. I'll get you to safety if you can promise me at least that. William's hand was still on his submachine gun which had 4 bullets. He knew one of them was a merc, he didn't want to trust a merc but he knew that it was his only chance of survival.

MajikMoshos Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 *That's cool anton, just remember to stick a bit more to the RP's writing format and proofread before posting. Of course if you're in a rush don't worry too much about the punctuation or format, as long as what's going on in your post fits within the story, is clear enough for others (it's clear enough for me anyhow) and doesn't have any godmoding you can get back to it in your own time or just use the correct format in your next posts. Dialouge's spaced out from the action and marked with the speaking character's name, bold and underlined. Anyway I look forward to your future posts* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WilliamDON'T SHOOT! Hoage spins around, cocking his 9mm at the ghoul standing at the ramp. HoageWho the hell are you? WilliamI'm a pilot, I-I've captured and flown one of those before. I need help...Some food, water and ammo. I'll get you to safety if you can promise me at least that.Hoage watches the ghoul's eyes. Noticing the worn-out clothing - the pipboy on the ghoul's arm. Hoage smiles, lowering the 9. HoageThat's some outfit you got there bud. I'm gonna trust you... Petra and Aaron eye William with amazement. Hoage listens to the William and Fenix's response PetraWait...we need Aaron's medicine...I...It ran out... She holds up the empty syringe for all to see. PetraIt's from the medicine man at Willow creek. Just south and across the river. AaronThe medicine man...he gives the medicine, the pain goes away. Hoage takes the syringe from petra's hands, studying it - small, faded lettering reading "Fort Greely Medical Centre" PetraHe was my dad's friend, an old scientist who did stuff in Greater Anchorage HoageAnchorage was wiped out in the war kid, it's a crater full of zombies. Hoage quickly glances at William HoageNo offense. PetraNo! Greater Anchorage! AaronYeah dummy! Hoage...Y...You've lost me. PetraIt's the capital? How don't you...oh...you're not from around here... HoageThankfully not. Petra narrows her eyes PetraIt's ruled by King Saturn. He's meant to be civilising the coldlands. But...something happened and Daddy took us... HoageYou mean Brier? PetraYeah, my dad. Hoage seems puzzled, but shakes it off Hoage (thinking)Probably adopted the kids... AaronWe ran away from the bad guys...Uncle Sordo never liked daddy...Because Uncle Sord - PetraAaron - I think we've told them too much already. HoageRight...so what's the medicine man's name? Petra smiles PetraIzek. Hoage's eyes widen. HoageIzek...Summers? PetraYou know him? HoageHe owes me a favour. I came here to help... PetraThat's why he hides. Lots of people want him gone. Hoage holsters his pistol and looks to William.HoageYour Pip-boy should have a map of the Alaskan Coldlands. We need to fly out to Willow Creek - Now.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greater Anchorage, Dawn As sunlight breaks over the sprawling town, the locals get to work on their daily activites. In the Command Bunker, the largest of all the bunkers, sits the Royal Council Hall, and the homes of the highest in the milatary and noble heirarchy. Taurus sits in his personal quarters, surrounded by servants who pamper him. The naked green mutant, rather slender for one of his kind but still tall and muscular, seems reluctant of all this - Mutants in Greater Anchorage are treated with the utmost respect, serving in the elite squadron that often protects the coldlands from external threats - the Canadian Brotherhood, the Shi, Talon Mercanaries, Raiders (disorganised and otherwise), hostile tribes and Fiends. An aide enters the room, kneeling by his side AideMaster Taurus, sir...the Masked King seeks a private audience. TaurusFine...----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Moments later Taurus enters the royal council chamber, decked out in golden armour with a ceremonial cape. Before him sits King Saturn on his throne; an advanced command-seat with a holographic neural interface hooked into the back of the helmet. The T-72 power armour is an impressive sight - easily adding a foot to Saturn's height, resembling something of a cross between Midwestern Brotherhood and Advanced Power Armour. In front of Saturn stands Mai, one of his two personal assistants. MaiCommander Taurus. TaurusGoverness Mai, an honour to see you once more. Mai reads something on the Terminal-bot by her side. MaiWith great regret...I must inform you that Brier has been purged from the Golden Fist. Taurus is visibly distraught, at a loss for words TaurusB...brier... He gives Mai a stern eye TaurusWhen did this happen? MaiEight hours ago. Taurus (disbelief)Eight hours?? I...Why wasn't I informed of this operation!? MaiIt was in our best interests to not send you in. TaurusWhy couldn't you - King Saturn raises his hand - A message flashes on Mai's screen-bot MaiThat's enough, Commander. TaurusI LEAD the Fist; for the past thirty years I've done nothing but serve Saturn with honour and piety! And now you pull off some black operation under my nose, and purge the one man who took down the Brotherhood! MaiBrier's contributions to the service of our Masked King will not be forgotten, much more so than his tragic turn and the passing of such events. She reads the termi-bot. MaiIt is with this, by decree of the Masked King Saturn in all his holy glory, that all known records of Brier's existance will be cleared, and the victory at Port Valdez will be credited solely to Commander Taurus of the Golden Fist. A tear runs down Taurus' cheek. he grits his strangely perfect teeth and walks out the hall. Mai watches him leave, then turns around to face King Saturn. MaiHe'll come around. Kard watches Taurus leave, the nightkin bowing his head out of respect and shame. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deep in snow, Sordo shivers violently. a trail of blood leads down the hill, his bloody stump now frostbitten. The stolen Vertibird's long gone, leaving Sordo to the cold wastes. Snow falls into the hole in his left eye. Trembling, Sordo tries to call out - nothing comes. Sordo (extremly rasped and soft)Gu..gu...gutta...Kar...Kard... He barely notices the soft white glow shining over him. Until he hears footsteps in the snow. Lots of them. His right eye rolls up to try get a better look as the white glow grows stronger, a shadow over his body. Sordo (painful, barely audible)K...Kard? Hel..hulp.....help....pleeee..... The glow dies down, the footsteps wander off. Sordo sobs, gurgling, for quite a few hours... Suddenly a loud sound breaks into the wind. A vertibird. It lands by the half-dead mutant, who slowly shifts his head to see Kard rushing over to him, escorted by Guard Scouts. Kard (genuine excitement, teary)Sordo!? Dah-Darrling? You live! GuardWe can haul him back to Greater Anchorage. I'm sure the docs could fix him up...I think....---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *What's this? The very man Fenix is hunting down is also the man Hoage has come to assist and the man that provides the only treatment for poor little Aaron's affliction?

antonkr Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 *sorry about the format I was just more used to the RP's I did a few years back I'll try my best as my character interacts a lot with the environment and technology. Hoage holsters his pistol and looks to William. HoageYour Pip-boy should have a map of the Alaskan Coldlands. We need to fly out to Willow Creek - Now. William Well not sure if my Pip-boy even works much. Hoping the NAV map on the Vertibird is functional at least. PetraHow does your Pip-boy not work? Those things could last a century! William grinsIt did last a century. But we don't have much time its getting a bit windy we gotta take off now. William climbs in the pilot seat trying to remember the controls. He turns the two nuclear reactor switches on and turns on the generator. He than pushes the throttle a little up enough to take off. He knew he had to be careful, but he did it before and it was surprisingly easy for him. He takes off without trouble puts out the gear and gains speed. William You see they never mass production really, I am sure there were no more than 10 in the continental United States stationed on different bunker-like bases. AaronBut but I've seen more than ten of them how is it possible if we are onl.... William interuptsWell enclave has some real good technology. They could have been and are probably making them easily on Adams AIr Force base. Not anymore on the Oil-Rig since it was destroyed. On one hand they are preserving technology that could be of great use to all but on the other it is mostly available for the absolute elite of the wasteland. Damn if I could find that production plant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeOh Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Just as Fenix finished his sentence, he heard someone shout outside: WilliamDON'T SHOOT! Fenix immidiately raises his gun and points it at the stranger. HoageWho the hell are you? WilliamI'm a pilot, I-I've captured and flown one of those before. I need help...Some food, water and ammo. I'll get you to safety if you can promise me at least that. Fenix looks upon the Ghoul, with suspicion... FenixCan we trust this guy? HoageThat's some outfit you got there bud. I'm gonna trust you... Fenix...WHAT? can a guy just walk in here, say "Oh I can fly a plane" and we actually believe him? What if he's after the kids? <...Somewhat later...> Fenix is sitting on a bench in the Bird, keeping an eye on Will, and listening to Petra, Aaron and Hoage talk. HoageRight...so what's the medicine man's name? PetraIzek. Hearing the name of his target, Fenix quickly raises his head, stirring up some attention. He looks at Petra, then Hoage. PetraIs everything Okay? FenixYeah, no problem, I just... ah nevermind... Few moments later, when Petra and Hoage get back to talking he opens up one of his pockets, and takes out a small datapad, - sorta like an ebook reader - and reads it (not aloud of course) CONTRACT INFORMATIONTARGET: IZEK SUMMERSINFO: This guy owes some stuff to a creepy "Gentleman" called Freija. Don't kill him, or at least till he gives the 10000 caps and something else he owes back. (You could also take it from his corpse, but I'll leave that call to Walkie) He was last seen in the Alaskan wasteland, so that's where we are sending the team. He is a well-known guy around there, so it shouldn't pose much trouble finding him. But be careful: try to avoid the Golden Fist as much as possible - they don't really like us mercs, I don't want them to actively hunt us.Good luck,Captain Kirrahee, Talon CompanySQUAD MAKEUP:Cole "Walkie" McFadden - Squad leaderJohn "Biggy" Sasmon - Heavy weapons specialistJay "Fenix" Sullivan - Explosives expertJared Owitz - MedicREWARD: 1500 caps / head, if the money is brought back. He notices Hoage suspiciously looking at him. Fenix <thinks>I guess the old man already knows why I'm here...

MajikMoshos Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) *Much better Anton. Keep it up!* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hoage grabs onto the handrail as the bird takes off, keep Petra close While Will speaks, Hoage turns his attention to Fenix, looking over the datapad. Hoage (thinking)He's up to something...all I need is another backstabbing s*** to deal with, right under my nose... The Talon merc looks back up at him, Hoage staring at him with suspicion. AaronWh...what's an Enclave!? PetraThey were like...some old dudes who founded Greater Anchorage. Really long time ago. Listening to William talk about the vertibirds, Hoage snickers HoageNice history lesson pal. PetraDaddy told me the founders had lots of Vertibirds. They even had a factoryboat that the older guys gave them, then something happened to it. Like they lost contact and it sank or something. HoageYour...Father seemed like a nice guy. PetraYou never met him... Hoage kneels down to Petra. He prepares himself for what he has to say. Hoage...I did. Aaron's eyes light up. AaronReally!? Is he okay. Hoage bites his lip, looking back to Petra...the girl has a forlorn look on her face, knowing the worst. He walks over to Aaron, putting a hard hand on the child's shoulders. HoageYour dad...told me to...take...care of you from now on. A tear rolls down Aaron's eyes. The boy turns his head away from Hoage. Hoage (thinking)Great, all I need is someone else to worry about now, like it wasn't hard enough mourning all those friends and my family...What if I'm gone and these kids are left with that Merc? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few hours in the Air, Hoage gets up from his seat. Petra sits calmly, eying Fenix, while Aaron's fast asleep on her leg. Hoage notices the the nav map HoageAlright, so this is an old world map... He looks back at Petra. HoagePetra... She slowly gets off the seat, taking care not to wake Aaron. HoageI need you to point out Willow Creek for me again... She points to a spot on the nav map, not too far from their current position and closing in fast. HoageNow, you have to remember really hard here - How many people live around there? Settlements, farms, ranches - PetraJust Izek, a few ranchers, Rad-Otters, and the...Silver Bats. HoageSilver Bats? PetraYou don't wanna get chased by a silver Bat. They're really smart and at night, you can never see 'em coming - then they suck at your blood and give you malaria! HoageSounds cute. Raiders? PetraNah, just smugglers. They're cool so long as you ain't a Regulator. HoagePerfect.PetraAnd you don't piss em off.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Fenix: Ahhh I rushed that line a bit and forgot it, oh well even DM's make mistakes sometimes.* Edited June 6, 2011 by MajikMoshos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeOh Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Fenix puts the datapad away, and looks out of the bird's window. Fenix <thinks>What the hell I'm gonna do? I really hope that this guy is reasonable, and pays... <his attention shifts to Aaron, sleeping on the other bench>... because I don't want to kill the only one who can treat the poor kid. When he hears Petra finish talking to Hoage, he turns to the girl. Fenix (friendly)Tell me something about yourself; I'd like to get to know you better. *MajikMoshos: Which line? :D Edited June 6, 2011 by Fenix HuN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajikMoshos Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Petra blushes, shying away for a brief moment PetraI-I...I... She glances at Hoage, busy looking over the Nav Map while cleaning out his 9mm. PetraI...lived with Daddy and Aaron...My little bro...in Greater Anchorage. Daddy says when I was born it was a "happy day"...I don't know why...but he told me I was special. Even as I grew up he never told me more than that... She gulps as she tries to recall events. PetraThe other folks called me that too. All of Daddy's friends...except for Uncle Sordo. He was always...angry...Then Aaron was born...mommy died giving birth...and Aaron didn't come out right - at least that's what Doc Quon said. She shudders at the mention of that name PetraI never liked the doc though, especially when he came back from that trip all messed up...kinda like that William guy over there. But a lot smarter. He'd always give me shots till I was five...then said I didn't need them no more. Then Aaron came into this world...and suddenly Daddy's friends were upset. I think they were dissapointed that he wasn't "special". Whatever that meant anyway. Petra looks back at her brother, still sleeping. She pulls the fire-blanket over him some more with a smile. PetraHe looked normal enough for me. Then again, other kids said we were different. They said our Dad isn't our real father...but I know he is...was... She sniffles, wiping away the tears. PetraAaron's been sick his whole life. I don't know... She turns her gaze back to Fenix. PetraYou...don't think we're wierd, right Merc? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Fenix: Hoage suddenly trusting William. :) I would've written something better but eh, I'm trying to move the story forward as much as I can.* Edited June 6, 2011 by MajikMoshos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
