As Quinch sat in the middle of the bar, surveying his surroundings, a man suddenly approaches and sits next to him.
"Heya. Can I offer you a drink?"
He raised his shades above his eyes, old and battered, but the red mirror finish still polished to a shine. This man sounded familiar.... the tone of voice, the straightforward attitude. He wondered if he had met him before.
"Barman, two whisky!" As the bartender shuffled towards them with two bottles and glasses that have probably seen the Big One, if not a few before that, the stranger continued. "To answer your question, I've heard tales about some dude called Ramone, who is in the deepest shit of his life. All sorts of disaster seem to cross his path. They call it "The tale of the Survivor". Beats me why they call it that way, but I think they like it." He tok a nip at his whiskey. "That's all I know, I don't hear much stories nowadays. Hey, weren't you that guy who I was tagging along for some time? The guy who beat the Enclave ? Man, that was some time ago... "
The profile suddenly clicked into place. Of course....
"Caesar. Yes, I remember you... no, we got separated after that encounter with the Deathclaws. I heard Ratcatcher fought with the remains of COC somewhere." At this point he took a sip of the whiskey. "I thought about following him, especially after what I heard about that place, but I had..." Quinch suddenly stopped himself, leaving an awkward pause in the air.
Another man walked up to them. Caesar immediately called to the barman.
"Barman ! Another whisky for this man here!" He pointed at the stranger.
"Reptile, meet Quinch. Quich, meet Reptile." Quinch stood up and took Reptile's hand in a firm handshake. "Quinch is an old buddy of mine," Caesar said to Reptile. "We went through a lot together. Ahh, those were the days...
Anyway, I think I must have misunderstood your question, Quinch. I am involved in some adventure to relieve the world from an even greater danger than the COC, the CND. That's the Children of the New Dawn. It's about a massive army that was build by the remaining leaders of the COC. They plan on taking over the world ("as always", he added with a smirk) and are invading Texas as we speak. Reptile, Will, and someone you may have met earlier, Smaug (and I of course) are trying to stop them with the help of the NTA, the New Texan Army. We already won some battles, but we just figured out they found nukes in an abandoned missle silo, wich they want to use to blow up Arroyo."
Caesar frowned. "Hell, we can use every help we can get. Interested in fighting with us?"
Quinch thought about this. "Sure," he said eventually. "It sounds interesting, and besides, it's been a while since I've had some decent action." His face was expressionless as always, but his voice was casual, almost flippant.
He finished his whiskey. "Now... how far is that missile base? What's the plan?"
OOC Reptile
Yeah, I know what a RP fanfic is... I've posted a few a long while ago {check the NCR and NCR 2 Reno threads}, but since I've been away I've lost track of the newer stories...
