"If it helps in the long run, then we would love your help" Damien replied. "Of course, be prepared for the fight of your life. Me and Edward know what Jack is capable of, so do not let your guard down at all. If you do, he'll kill you." (The mask, been inspired by Darksiders))
(the mask caught me a little by surprise! it startled me a little when I saw the bottom pic with the eyes in it 0_0. anyhoo, I think it's a great fit for Jack ^_^) Jenny: good thing we all have a healthy level of self-preservation then! how many dudes are we dealing with here?
Damien thought for a moment. "I can't imagine that with his operations currently so small, maybe around 80. Luckily for us, it's a small operation. If it really takes off, we would have delt with at least 800 guys. Although, Jack himself wouldn't be there when we hit his gang. If we make enough noise, he'll come after us."
Will: 80 or so guys shouldn't be so bad. If me, Barb and wins work on the ground and Abbey and Jenny work from a distance as snipers, we should be able to deal with most of them. Barbara: If you insist William. Will: You know I don't like being called that. Barbara: hehe... You haven't changed a bit
"I can work on the ground, I can also disable any security systems that he might include" Taylor replied cheerfully. "I'll work on the ground. Damien, do they know about what I'm famous for?" Edward said, nudging Damien's arm. "Oh yeah, Edward can ricochet bullets off walls. He can kill 12 people with six bullets. Yet again, having almost three centuries of experience can let yo do stuff like that" Damien joked. "I'll work as a Sniper, although I'll isolate myself from Abbey and Jenny so they don't pinpoint where we are."
Abbey: I'll take the role of an anti-materiel sniper. My rifle has the power to kill a guy 5 times over, so it'd make more sense to use it on bigger targets. Will: Are there any innocents we need to free?
"I seriously doubt it. Jack is a drug dealer, having hostages would just slow him down" Damien replied. "One thing however, Jack has his operations in California, somewhere in some place that was called the 'Salton Sea'. Its a fair trip, about a week or so, but this will be worth it." (Fast Forward?)
About a week later, the group found themselves at Desert Shores, an incredibly remote town next to the Salton Sea, which was now almost dried up after centuries of desertification took their toll on the environment. Even by the NCR's standards, the entire place was ridiculously remote. It was fairly close to the pre-war Mexican border and also a couple of hours from Dayglow by a pre-war car. This former town in the middle of absolute nowhere was an oasis for Jack and his enterprise to thrive right underneath the noses of the NCR. It was the place to make a killing, or get killed.
The group made a camp some distance away from the Ripper's compound to prepare themselves and fine tune their plan of attack. They also took time to get to know each other a little more. Barbara was looking out over the compound using a pair of binoculars. Damien approached her to see what was going down. Barbara: (looks through binoculars) Hmph... not good.
Skeleton Jack had set up his headquarters in an abandoned motel that was located near the centre of town, it's large size and some prior fortifications that had been made to the building made it easily defendable. The rest of the town had been untouched, most of it was already abandoned before the war anyway. Damien had brought along his Silenced Sniper Rifle for this operation. Although it lacked the killing power of Abbey's ATR, it was much lighter and ammo for it was far more common. And in the right hands, had a much better fire rate and was semi-auto. In Damien's view, his Sniper Rifle was more suited for the mission at hand. However, there was a very real possibility that Jack still kept his own modified ATR somewhere, he likely had it on him. And if he did, then this put the entire group and the operation at an enormous disadvantage. Damien was at least a kilometre or so from the town and at the highest altitude he can get at without being detected, while Taylor and Edward worked on the ground. While through his scope, he kept his earpiece at him. "What's the matter? You seeing what I'm seeing?" Damien asked her through the radio.
(oh! Sorry for the mix up, I was going to have it that barbara was looking over the camp out of her own interest to see what was happening then have Damien and her talk about things. After all I know a lot about Damien but you probably don't know much about my characters.
(I was actually thing the same thing! I was thinking something between Damien and Barbara just before. Who knows, if the two characters go well together, this could actually end up somewhere :3)
(Right on! How about we have Barbara and Damien talk and get to know each other and have Taylor & your ghoul guy get to know Will, Jenny and Abbey? )
(Sure. I'll just Damien closer to Barbara, or right next to her. Taylor and Edward will be on the ground with the rest of your group.) "You guys look like you've walked across America to get here. Why don't you guys tell us about yourselves, I'm sure that you are bored with some of our stories anyway." Taylor said as stood with the group, Edward was leaning against an abandoned Van. Meanwhile... Damien went over to Barbara's location and just sat down next to her. "Well, nobody seems to be home at the moment. I guess we can pull off the attack for a few hours, I'm sure a beautiful lady such as yourself must have seen some stuff." Damien said, putting his imaginary bachelor hat on. He was good with women, especially since one of his oldest friends was one. It was also how he met his wife. "Why don't you tell me about yourself?"
(I was thinking that this could be the night before the attack and that the attack would happen in the morning. Taylor's talking to my guys around the campfire and Barbara is looking on over the camp with binoculars) Barbara: Okay, first off, don't EVER try that s*** on me again. Meanwhile.... Jenny: It's alright Tay ^_^ Anyway as for my sto- Abbey: (interrupts Jenny) My life is a long tale. One full of tragedy, deceit, treachery and passion. Jenny: hey! D:
"Fine, not with that attitude." Damien said before laying down on his back nearby Barbara's position. ------------------------- Taylor laughed near the end. "Go on...."
