[color=aba000][u][b]Steve Cooper- Salem [/b][/u][/color] "Good luck, I'll head to the dinner and get us some drinks along with finding out if anyone else has arrived in town yet..." Leaving Johnny Steve made his way to the dinner. Along with Barney the diner’s owner Ace makarov? Makovich? Or whatever is was Mako was the only other person in town. He had seemlying arrived a few weeks ago and spent his time cleaning the dinner... he’d actually done an pretty good job. Approaching the cleaned up Dinner Ace was nowhere to see; no doubt he’d gone on an little hunting trip or something which would hopefully mean better food tonight. With the dinner closed however Steve looked around for new arrivals and noticed a young lady sitting on a bench cleaning some model of scoped hunting rifle. Lighting up a cigarette Steve walked to towards the young lady. Approaching the younger woman she oddly enough looked like a girl version of Johnny being very small, pale and boney although judging by the various items strapped to her long coat she was some sort of "skilled" wastelander instead of chemist. “Hi...err...Welcome to Salem I’m Steve cooper, good to see that more people are arriving” Steve stated as he held his hand out to shake. [i]Looks like the sort who’d take drugs [/i] “Me and my business partner John Kaye are setting up a drug store and brothel in town... if you ever need some chemical help or... som er-“Steve somewhat awkwardly tried to pitch to the young lady but was distracted by gun fire... [i] Plasma bolt from the sound of it[/i] Quickly Drawing his 50.cal Desert Eagle Pistol Steve turned around to direction of the gunfire only see an female Merc in some sort of confrontation with an Green skin super mutant but what was perhaps more strange was that the mutant was hold an white flag. [i]Surely it can’t be? Must be a trap. [/i] Compared to the orange super Mutants in DC these green super mutants where somewhat smarter with them seemlying creating their own guns & weapons and even bloody computers and fucking turrets(With the help of human slaves) in some cases. Although the mutant was seemlying friendly and not beating that Merc to death right now , Steve was high suspicious of what it was planning to do.. “Stay here... I’m gonna check this out.” With his pistol pointed non-directly at the mutant freaks head Steve slowly approached, cautious of the green mutant. During this time Barney also made his way over and examined to the woman merc that this super mutant “rook” as he was called was apparently an "friend" one and also unbelievable as it sounded was looking to settle down [i] there was stories about that friendly mutant in DC... could be same but why take the risk? [/i] "Reasonable folk use their words." “They also don’t let hostile monsters roam freely around town...” Steve muttered to himself, approaching and lowering his pistol as he continued to stare at the mutant. [i] What’s your plan... [/i] "Now, welcome to Salem. I'm Barney Rook of the volunteer militia, and that there is...er, Rook. No relation." He looked over at the super mutant. "No offense." “And I’m Steve cooper.” Steve added on "Motherfucking insane," the woman breathed. She readjusted her bag once more. "I'm Frieda. Been travelling for a spell looking for work, if you think you could use another member of your...militia, was it?" She glanced between the mutant and Barney as she awaited the response. "Depends. We don't let just anyone join up." “It’s not like you’re overburdened with volunteers now Barney.” Steve chuckled taking a puff on his smoke as he did. "Did you not just say you were a volunteer militia --" "We still have a screenin' process. Gotta have some standards. Folk are gonna depend on you to defend life and limb, you gotta be competent." “It’s pretty clear hot stuff has served before.” Steve stated as he turned to Frieda “Along with the impressive figure Just look at how she stands, holds that plasma pistol, a plasma pistol....” [i]“E” Now where have I seen that before? [/i] “What outfit where you with? I don’t see any stupid tattoo so it’s not the gunners Brotherhood perhaps? The operators? Or maybe perhaps the Talon company?” [i] We did have an few lady soldiers [/i]
