[color=fff200][b]Rick Noel - Diner - Nightfall[/b][/color]

Rick sat on the booth and what seemed to be a server approached him. Howver, unlike the friendly synth servers or those that he read of in books. She approached him, "So watcha want...come on."

"Ummm...sorry...ummm" Rick was blanking out, he really didn't drink.

"Oh my fuck...seriously. I do not have all night kid...come on." Betty answered gruffly, looking impatiently, tapping her foot. 

"Ok, ok..." Rick stuttered. He remember reading of vodka and its manufacturing process. Rick looked back up to her, "I'd like vodka...and umm...some...nuka cola." He smiled at her and she just rolled her eyes. She soon returned and placed a cup with vodka and a bottle of nuka cola on the table. He did note that she didn't slam it as he would've expected... Could her attitude and way she behaved be an act?

He tried some of the cola by itself...it was far different than what used to be served in the Institute. It had a slight metalic tinge to it, but it wasnt bad. He also tried the vodka, and he started to cough as the buring sensation went down his throat. He wheezed, it was not what he was expecting. The institute distilled alcohol, the scientist though tended to prefer whiskey or scotch.  He never developed a taste for alcohol, yet his intellectual curiosity wanted to see why people liked it so much, especially here in the wastes.

He mixed the two beverages, and forced himself to drink it, he surmized it would taste better if it was ice cold, and perhaps had some ice cubes. As he drank and the alcohol began to spread through his body the radio came on. The travis guy began to speak.:

[color=82ca9d][i]"Ladies and gentlemen, Diamond City Radio has some breaking news for you... hold on to your hats, and try not to spill your drinks... As reported yesterday, the Minutemen launched a daring raid on the Gunner's Downtown Boston Oupost located a Mass Bay Medical Center..."

Travis paused for effect, "The Minutemen were succesful in disloging the Gunners and taking control of the location. According to reports the Minutemen suffered a loss of 14 troopers. Quite a few were injured, most with non life threating injuries. Although the  gunners outnumbered the Minutemen, they were defeated by Colonel Preston's swift strategy. We tried to get an exclusive interview, but he had promised one to Piper, Editor-in-chief of Publik Occurences."

"Gunner losses and injuries were severe, no official record, but losses are reported to be around a hundred. Captured Gunners are slated to be placed on trial and those deemed guilty of egregious crimes against the Commonwealth will be hanged...Hold on a minute folks...Just received another report...It is estimated that a large number of Gunner escaped, and where headed north. Folks living in the northern parts of the commonwealth are advised to be careful, and if you see anyone strange, report them to authorities. If we receive any other news, we'll be sure to let you know."
