-The Tops- “Uh huh. Well enjoy the stay,” the greeter said to the four, letting them in now, Edda looking around. It was pretty big, well lit, and air conditioning played over their faces. Several people were playing cards, some roulette. Slots lined the walls as well. People were drinking, laughing, and generally having a good time as they lost all their money. “Well, welcome to New Vegas,” Edda said to the others. -Monorail- “Mmmm, for another night with you dear, I'd gladly pay an arm and a leg,” Ethan told Kanna, as the monorail came to a stop. Erin stayed clutching Jason's arm. She hoped this talk he wanted wasn't about her having to leave him... -Freeside- “Looks like this is Freeside...” Galv said, looking around. There were a few well dressed people moving about, heading towards The Strip. A few burly looking men stood by the gate, advertising bodyguard services. Some man was selling...odd looking meat, which Galv ignored as he kept moving with Melanie. The two were getting a few looks. A shirtless young man with a pretty girl on his arm... “Hey kid, maybe you should head to the fort over there,” one of the bodyguards called out, pointing towards a nearby structure. “Ummm...thank you...” Galv said, bringing Melanie along, heading towards the fort. Suddenly they heard a series of gunshots, and Galv wheeled, moving Melanie behind him. A wild eyed man appeared, racing down the street. He paused, centered on Galv and Melanie, and charged! Galv focused, glaring at the man. Electricity sparked in his hands, and he fired, blasting it towards the man, sending him flying backwards! |

The Tops The group of teens walked into The Tops, a bit amazed at how big and crowded it was...Like the outside there were a ton of sights and sounds and it was all rather overwhelming to someone not used to it. "This is so cool! I never even knew places like this existed when I lived back in the Capitol" Chloe said, taking a drink from a man carrying a silver platter of cocktails. She casually took a sip, giving an approving grin at the taste. Sarai meanwhile continued to sty close to Connor. She knew he'd protect her in a place like this...But she also knew she needed to relax a bit....She took a breath, taking Chloe's lead and taking a cocktail from another passing server. She stared into the strange liquid for a moment before downing the entire thing in one massive gulp....She then proceeded to choke and gag on the bitter, burning taste. She was starting to miss not having a tongue. "What the crap Sarai?! You're gonna kill yourself drinking like that" Chloe said with a slight laugh. Freeside Melanie followed Galv to the structure, keeping very close to Galv....She could feel people staring at them, but couldn't do much since she was feeling so uneven on her own feet. She continued to clutch Galv's arm until the sound of gunshots rang through the air and Galv threw Melanie behind him. The girl stumbled but grabbed onto the back of Galv's shirt, ducking her head behind him. There was then a massive crackling of electricity and Melanie shut her eyes tightly. Monorail "I'll keep that in mind" Kanna said with a slight smirk, stepping off the monorail and looking around. She looked noticeably more upbeat. "Now this is a place I could get used to. Let's find the liquor" |

[The Tops] “S-S-Sarai!” Connor gasped as he saw her drink an entire cocktail in one gulp. He groaned a little… he had a feeling that Sarai had never been drunk before, and had a feeling that this would be a very bad place for her to start drinking. “We shouldn’t drink… this town is full of dangerous people. We need to keep our wits about us.” Connor sighed. |

The Tops Sarai coughed for a few more seconds before managing to catch her breath. She had never had something like that before...It tasted terrible. The girl wrinkled her nose moving to clutch Connor's arm once more. "W-Why do people d-d-drink stuff like t-t-that?" She asked, coughing once more. "To relax of course my dear!" A voice stated, appearing out of the crowd. "They also play poker to relax? Care to watch me play? I'm not much competition-wise but I do love putting on a show!" A tall man with white hair held out his hand, which Sarai naturally shrunk away from. The man blinked, before offering the rest of them a toothy grin. "Not from around here are you? But where are my manners, my name is Castor! I work for the man in charge" Chloe grinned, taking another sip of her drink, her free hand on her hip. "Nice place" "The best in the free-world!" Castor laughed, obviously exaggerating a bit. |

-The Tops- Edda paused, staring at the man, nodding back to him. “We're from the Hub, back from the NCR,” Edda lied. He didn't think it was a good idea to let anyone know that Connor, Sarai, and Chloe were from Panem. “And you work for House here?” Edda was interested...It might be helpful for the Rebels... -The Strip- Ethan smirked back, leading Kanna along the streets. “A number of different places we could go dear. Hmmm...I think the Gomorrah would be your kind of place,” Ethan said, “Plenty of drinks for you, and I can win some extra money for you. Meanwhile Erin stayed close to Jason, clutching his arm. “What did you want to talk about...?” Erin asked quietly. -Freeside- The thug fell back, not getting back up after Galv shocked him. Galv took a few steps back, then turned to help Melanie up. “So you have a power?” Galv paused, stiffening up and looking towards the source of the voice. Standing by the wall was a tall man with light brown hair, grinning a little as he looked at the two. “Probably don't have any caps on you...” the man then said, “No money at all...You could probably use some help...” |

Freeside Melanie clutched Galv's shirt tightly, turning to see a tall man with brown hair. He didn't seem to be attacking them...That was always good. “Probably don't have any caps on you...” the man then said, “No money at all...You could probably use some help...” "Help....Would be nice" Melanie mumbled, her face still rather warm. "Somewhere cold maybe?" The Strip "I just wanted to make sure you're okay...Maybe we should go walk somewhere else" Jason said, looking around and pulling Erin down a side street so that they were away from Kanna and the guys. "So......Us......How do you feel about us?" [...] "Gomorrah?" Kanna asked, raising a brow "Strange name but sounds interesting...Alright, let's go there." The Tops "I do!" Castor said with a grin. "Just call me the....House manager" Castor laughed at his own joke, still looking at Sarai with curious eyes. "Don't be so scared looking, little bird! You're in the most exciting place on the Strip!" Sarai didn't seem too thrilled. "Don't mind her, she doesn't talk much" Chloe said with a shrugged. Castor shrugged "How about we go somewhere quiet, i'd love to show an interesting group like yourselves out private suite! All the drinks you could want, beautiful ladies...And some very interesting gossip...." He said that last part, knowing it would get their attention. |

-Freeside- “Hmmm...might now a place. For now...” the man began, then focused. A cold breeze blew around Melanie now, coming from the man, cooling him down, “Perhaps my own power will help.” He grinned, turning to them, “You two...are Galv Hawkins and Melanie Narroh, aren't you? From the Hunger Games.” The man's grin broadened, “From Panem...Long ways away. Name's Russel. Antoine Russel. I use to be from there too...” -Gomorrah- Ethan led Kanna into the casino, where a man stepped forward, holding out his hands. “Hand over any weapons you have on you,” the man in the suit said, “Standard policy.” Ethan sighed and produced a knife from his jacket, handing it over. He didn't need it if they got into a scuffle, his own super strength would be more then enough. -The Strip- “...I like us...” Erin said, quietly at first, “When I'm around you I feel better...I don't have the nightmares as much...” Erin had taken to sneaking into Jason's room at night to sleep next to him. Not anything beyond that, just taking his arm and falling asleep next to him...and probably greatly surprising Jason when he woke up. She paused, taking his hands now with her own, looking up at him with her big green eyes. “I know I'm not...very...stable...” Erin said carefully, “I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave me... No one really cared about me before, just my brother...” -The Tops- Edda was suspicious. This odd man was being way too nice for a place like The Strip... He glanced towards the others. If things got bad...Well, they didn't have any weapons, not really. Though Edda was hiding a knife or two on his person, along with a couple other things that might be helpful in a fight... But he didn't know about the others... Chloe had her super strength at least. “That sounds interesting, Mr. Castor,” Edda said, “Though I'm not sure how much us tourists will be.” |

Freeside Melanie loosened her grip on Galv and gave a small sigh of relief as a cool gust of wind hit her. At this point any small amount of air was welcomed in cooling her down. But then he mentioned the Games....Instantly Melanie was on the defensive again, unsure if the man was friendly...Or ready to bring them in for trying to escape. "I use to be from there too..." Melanie blinked "You're not going to turn us in are you?" Gomorrah "You think a lady such as myself is so barbaric to have to carry weapons?" Kanna asked the man, a look of offense on her face. In all truth she had two knives strapped to her thigh. "These men are my protection thank you very much" The Strip N-No! Of course I don't want to leave you! I like you too!" Jason exclaimed, afraid she was taking this talk the wrong way. "I just don't want to put you in a relationship you might not be ready for Puuuullleeeeeease. Erin's already plotting how to have babies with you--without you even realizing it. I think she understands relationships... .... ......... .............Okay maybe not. The Tops "Oh i'm sure you;ll be interesting enough" Castor said with a smile "Come along ladies and gentlemen! The private lounge awaits!" Castor led the small group past many of the gambling crowds and into another room with significantly less people. Everyone here seemed to be keeping to themselves, secluded on their own thanks to several plush circle-shaped red velvet couches. Castor led the group to one, sat down himself and clapped his hands. A moment later a pretty lady in a short white dress came up to the group offering them drinks. Sarai frowned a bit at the girl who appeared, not because she didn't like her...But because she instantly felt very sad for her. She had been in that position not too long ago-" "Don't worry little bird, the girls here are some of the highest paid in the city. They serve by choice" Castor explained, handing a few caps to the girl who giggled and scampered away to get more booze for her guests. Sarai stiffened.."H-How did you know-" "That you thought she was an Avox?" Castor replied. "But of course, you probably served so many people who do not recognize a face as plain as mine. But I never would forget one like yours" Castor sipping his blue cocktail. "While I typically reside on the fringes of society that we tend to call New Vegas I have also wined and dined with some of the finest in Panem. I like to think of myself as an ambassador of the free world. You we're at one of those parties, serving little tiny Cornish game-hens with an absolutely delightful orange-jasmine marmalade on top." Castor then turned to the others. "In fact I know about all of you. And I must say i'm impressed that you got out of those games in such a spectacular fashion. Even outside of Panem you were the talk of the town...Mostly because we love to watch Panem fail at being flashy." |

[The Tops] Connor frowned. He didn’t like the idea of following Castor into a private room, but he went quietly with the others. When Castor revealed that he knew who they were, Connor immediately stood up. He knew this had been a bad idea, and he suddenly had the desire to get away as quickly as they could. “… What is it you want?” Connor asked. He was suspicious… and worried. [Gomorrah] “Everybody carries weapons, doll.” The Gomorrah was run by the Omertas; a vicious gang of criminals. One of the Omertas appeared walking towards Kanna and Ethan with a smirk on his face. “You ain’t regulars. Eh, caps is caps.” |

The Tops "Calm down Connor I don't want anything...Like I mentioned before i'm impressed with your skills. And in fact i'm quite honored you decided on our humble little city as your refuge from the Capitol. I think you all could do rather well here...We may not be involved in your nation's rebellion, but that doesn't mean we're not interested." Chloe now had a frown on her face, but the girl continued to sip her drink. "So what? You just brought us in here so you could shake our hands?" "While shaking your hands would be quite nice i'm sure you all could offer me more...Well me, and other people. Of course in return I could help you with your little problem." Castor said, turning his attention back on Sarai. "We were all rather impressed with your display of...Skill....In the Games Connor" he said, all the while eye still on Sarai. He motioned for the girl to lean forward. Naturally Sarai just shrunk back. "Don't worry, I won't bite. I just want to see what your little friend managed to do for you. Remember, I knew you were an Avox in the past, and I just heard you speak. I won't hurt you. I just want to see if Connor would be a good fit for my first little task." |

[The Tops] Connor frowned. He had forgotten that all of Panem (and places beyond) had watched the Hunger Games and seen his healing abilities. He wasn’t used to this kind of attention for his powers. Prior to the Games, he had only used them on people in his family’s clinic… “Leave Sarai alone.” Connor said. “If you want something from me, then just ask me. Don’t bother her about it.” He was worried… this strange man clearly had something in mind. [Camp McCarren] Rica was currently walking around the camp, looking for Melanie. He had hoped to spend some time with her and get to know her better… but he couldn’t find her anywhere. Galv seemed to be missing too. So Rica soon sought out Samuel. “Have you seen Melanie and Galv? I can’t find them anywhere.” |

-The Tops- Edda followed along with them, frowning a bit as the man said he knew who they were. He stayed quiet, listening though. He was ready to move if something happened...But so far it seemed that this man wasn't going to hurt them... -Freeside- “Turn you in?” Russel asked, laughing and shaking his head, “Hah, even if I handed you over on a silver platter, they'd still kill me.” He shrugged a little, getting up from the wall now, moving towards Galv and Melanie. “I use to be high up, actually, in the Enclave. Then I...got out. Didn't really see eye to eye with some of the higher ups,” Russel answered. Technically, that was true, in that he use to be hooked up with Claire Douglas, Gallic's right hand...person, but then got fresh with a younger woman, and then fled after Claire tried to kill him. There was more to the story too, but Russel wasn't even going to share that bit with the two. “Come on, I have a place on The Strip,” Russel said, turning and walking towards the large gate where several Securitrons were guarding. Galv paused, glancing towards Melanie. It might be the best place to go right now... -Gomorrah- “I'm good enough that she doesn't need to carry weapons,” Ethan said, reaching into his pockets and pulling out some gold coins. Legion coins. Technically they were old coins, taken for money when he fled the Legion with his daughter almost two decades ago. But still good. “Where do you think I got these?” Ethan smirked, taking Kanna by the arm and heading towards the counter to exchange the coins for chips. -The Strip- “No, I want to stay with you...” Erin said, suddenly moving closer to Jason, pressing herself close to him. “Maybe we could get married...” Erin added, blushing slightly. You've known him like a week, Erin. -Camp McCarren- “No...I haven't...” Samuel said, frowning, “I kind of assumed they found somewhere private...” Samuel didn't want to walk in on his son somewhere making out with Melanie. It would be awkward. “They're probably hiding somewhere,” Samuel said, but was growing worried, “We can ask around.” |

[The Tops] "Really I must insist" Castor said with a frown, motioning again for Sarai to move forward. "I'd rather not explain anything unless i'm sure...Darling, if you would-" Sarai stared at the man for a few more seconds before giving a tiny nod, leaning forward just close enough that Castor could touch her chin. The man carefully took her face in her hand, proping her mouth the tiniest big ajar so that he could see inside. "Impressive....You can regrow body parts....Quite well in fact..." Castor said, sitting back and taking his drink again. "And you can speak normally? With no trouble?" "M-Mostly" she said quietly, sitting back herself and clutching Connor's hand in a death grip. "Alright then, I think i'm convinced...Connor I have a job for you. I have a.....We'll call her a friend. She is in very critical condition, wrong place at the wrong time and now she is quite injured. If you can use your abilities on her then I am prepared to offer you a surefire way to get to who you're trying to kill" Chloe stiffened "How did you know he-" "I'm very in the know....I have my connections....That or I just assumed Connor here would like to kill the man who sent his parent's heads in a box with a bow." Castor said with a shrug "Much like you would like to off those good for nothing parents of yours who volunteered you for those games Miss. Chloe....Or how you, little bird, would like to stab the man who chopped off your tounge and made you a slave...Just like you did to that Peacekeeper...Nine times? Isn't that a bit much?" Instantly Sarai's eyes went down to her lap. Castor then paused, turning his attention to Edda. "Now you....You're slightly harder to figure out....What is your motivation young man?" Gomorrah "Oh really...Would you like to search me and see what you find?" Kanna asked the man, a grin on her lips. He'd find a knife right in the throat. “I'm good enough that she doesn't need to carry weapons,” "Indeed. I'm very well protected" Kanna said with a nod. The Strip "M-Married?!" Jason exclaimed "I-I don't think we've known eachother that long....Maybe we should take it slow....Start with getting to know eachother?" Freeside Melanie was unsure, but she was still burning up and this man had helped a bit...Perhaps it would be okay? This logic would get her killed one day. Luckily it doesn't look like she can die! She followed Galv. Edited by Crystal Rose, Mar 7 2013, 07:42 PM.

[Gomorrah] “Yeah, yeah. Just don’t go causin’ trouble.” The Omerta warned, and then he headed off. [Camp McCarren] Rica frowned. “… Let’s find them. I had hoped to spend some time with Melanie.” [The Tops] Connor immediately flinched as Castor mentioned his parents… and alluded to Autumn, who was responsible for their deaths. He mentioned Chloe’s parents too… and that they had volunteered her. That would have been the biggest surprise… at least, until he mentioned that Sarai had stabbed someone – nine times. Nine times. “… I can heal your friend…” Connor agreed silently. |

-The Tops- “I don't want anything...not really,” Edda answered, with a shrug, “I just want to help my friends. I just got mixed up in all this on accident, but I can't just walk away from it all...” Edda had an odd moral code. One where he was quite willing to run from danger, but where he wouldn't abandon his friends. -Gomorrah- Ethan exchanged the coins for some chips, turning back to Kanna, taking a drink as it passed by on a platter, handing it to Kanna. “Hear you go dear,” Ethan offered with a smile, “Enjoy.” -The Strip- “Oh...okay...” Erin said, looking a little crestfallen, but brightened back up since Jason hadn't technically said “no.” Just “not now.” “What do you want to do then?” Erin asked. -Freeside- Antoine Russel stopped in front of the gate, a Securitron approaching him. Russel reached into his jacket and pulled out a passport, waving it in front of the robot. “These two are with me,” Russel said to the robot, indicating Galv and Melanie. “Understood. Please proceed,” the Securitron said. Russel motioned to Galv and Melanie, bringing them to... The Strip! “I have a room at the Ultra-Luxe. Hosts are a bit odd, but it's a nice place,” Russel explained to them. -Camp McCarren- Samuel nodded, looking as well. After some time he started to panic, worried that they had gotten out...but how? Samuel walked around the tents, pausing as he saw Melanie's coat. He looked up, and saw an NCR soldier loading a wagon with some supplies... “When did the last cart leave?” Samuel asked suddenly, walking towards the man. “Not too long ago...” the soldier answered, thinking it over, “Why?” A horrible feeling overcame Samuel...he was pretty sure Galv and Melanie had taken that wagon... “Where was it going?” Samuel asked. “Freeside,” the soldier answered, “Supplies for NCR citizens...” |
