[indent][b][color=#838A46]“Why hello my dearest compatriots. Welcome to Magnolia Ranch.”[/color][/b] You find yourself in an old-timey plantation with updates that have kept it [i]current[/i] but only just. You stand in a lobby made of pristine wooden floors, wooden walls, and numerous paintings hanging on the wall alongside a set of massive stairs leading to the next level. Several of these paintings are of a flower you’ve never seen before. You assume this is what magnolias looked like. Prewar light fixtures, power cables stretching from them and into discreet holes in the wall, and the soft hum of an unseen generator, reminds you that even if you’re in the midst of someone far richer than yourself--your benefactor’s pockets weren’t endless. And that’s probably why he hired the lot of you. You look around. This was an [i]odd[/i] group.

Perched at the center of the balcony is a man dressed quite finely with graying black hair, spectacles, and an intense mustache. He looks down at the group with a smile. [b][color=#838A46]“My, my, I didn’t think my offer would ever bring such spirited adventurers my way.”[/color][/b] You didn’t just [i]show up[/i], you’d been vetted for this mission. You were then transported from Shreve’s Port via brahmin caravan, which was stuffed to the gills with Governor Cassom’s armed guard. You had to say the ride was scenic, which was nearly unheard of in the Swamplands.

You traveled through a “tunnel” of old, gnarled trees. One of the guards told you this used to be a pecan orchard. He looked very smug about that knowledge. There were large fields on either side of you for quite some time. Razorgrain and tato were the largest crops, but there was this odd purple vine that you’d never seen before. You know these farmlands help supply the Northern Province, one of the Five Great Counties of Louisiana. You were welcomed by Governor Stanley Cassom, the Governor of this county. Large buildings surrounded the plantation proper, they looked like they were recently constructed, formed from cannibalized pieces and parts from PreWar structure. Robots, ghouls, and humans circled around them and gave you looks as you entered the property. The grass was green here and obviously fake. Plastic, pink birds littered the lawn along with small, brightly colored benches. Men dressed in fancy suits with pieces of metal armor led you to the large, bright blue front door. 

So, here you were--in the employment of Governor Cassom. He drummed his fingers across the banister, through surveying you all. [b][color=#838A46]“I have a most thrilling prospect for you. I need a package delivered to the President of Louisiana, Jean-Napoleon Arceneaux in case you are too low a class to know his proper name. And I need it to reach there unharmed and without tampering. Can I ask that of you? I mean the package is quite large. It’ll require a sizeable caravan, which I will provide. I’ll also be lending you my daughter, as she has the means and knowledge to open the package.”[/color][/b] He then laughed, as if what he said was the slightest bit humorous. [b][color=#838A46]“And if you think of doing anything funny or vile to her, I’ve hired the best protection. An ex-Brotherhood something... He came highly recommended.”[/color][/b] You felt as if he’s the sort of person that throws caps at issues and fails to learn anything about it.

[b][color=#838A46]“But before I get ahead of myself, let me lay down the rules.”[/color][/b] He cleared his throat. [b][color=#838A46]“If you try to disturb the package. It will explode. If you don’t deliver it within a month, it’ll explode. And more so, my daughter has a means of making it explode if she finds herself in a perilous situation. And the explosion is very large and very nasty. Don’t think you can just [i]run[/i] from it.”[/color][/b] He smiled. [b][color=#838A46]“But once you reach the Big Easy, you will get the second half of your payment--a thousand caps. You can leave without any other thought on the thing. I promise you, it’s easy money.”[/color][/b] He nodded. [b][color=#838A46]“And to sweeten the pot, with my daughter in tow, you’ll have access to the other Governor’s houses and resources--well with the exception of the Traitor’s.”[/color][/b] His eyes narrowed, lips turning down. But only for a moment, as they bubbled back into his saccharine smile from before. [b][color=#838A46]“Meaning, all you have to worry about are the bandits, silverfish, mirelurks, super mutants, and various death traps between here and there. You all look like seasoned adventurers. You can handle it.”[/color][/b] He clapped his hand down on the banister. The guards around you rocked back on their heels and held their guns a little tighter. [b][color=#838A46]“So, do you accept?”[/color][/b][/indent]

[indent]This roleplay is set in the Fallout Universe, 2291. Down on your luck, career mercenary, or looking for an easy and well-paying job, you hear about an offer from the Governor of the Northern Province himself. Possibly thinking it a joke, or truly interested, you ask around. That leads to the Governor’s men at your doorstep. You’re thoroughly questioned and you prove your array of skills. After that, you come into the employ of Governor Cassom, and that’s where our RP begins.

Please keep in mind that this is a bubble RP. The events from the previous Fallouts do not matter here, because Louisiana is so far away. That being said, there will be asides and mentions here and there, but they will be more of a wink and a nod than a “you have to know canon” references. This is for players that are very new to the Fallout Universe or have never played before.

The plot of the roleplay is that you are to take the caravan from the northernmost top of Louisiana and down to the most southern area. This trip will send you through the majority of the state. While you are tethered to the caravan, in a sense, you will have the option to investigate various places and people. This trip is to get you acclimated to how the state of Louisiana is run. There is a lore section down below of things you should know before jumping in, as some of the factions and mutations are different here due to the geography and political structure.

Also know that this caravan mission is only about 25% of the actual roleplay. What’s afterwards? You’ll just have to find out.[/indent]
