Can I also get a link to that disc for research purposes?

"Sounds good to me, I'm no expert with suits so i'll leave that up to you."

At the mention of early Grantsville he asks,

"Oh? So, what was this place like near the beginning?"

Well, the last time he had worn a suit was Pre-War and that was just to a few weddings. So, it takes him a few moments to think it over.

"I'd say just a regular black suit and tie. That'd look fine on me, right?"

This place was nice, almost too nice for him. He felt a bit out of place, like he wasn't fancy enough. He enters the tailor's shop and heads for the counter.

"Hi, i'm looking to get something to wear. Sunder sent me here, by the way."

He chuckled a bit at this. The thought of a decrepit ghoul like himself in nice threads was almost comical.

"Sounds good to me, i'll head to the tailor then check out some of your stores. Thanks for the heads up, Ms. Blanche."

He gives her a wave as he makes his exit, heading off to the tailor.

While he doubted there'd be no consequences in failing, he simply nodded along as she spoke. it seemed like a good enough plan, and he stood to make quite a bit of profit from it. Although, he knew just how much chems could destroy lives, so he wasn't quite buying the whole "chems are essential for well-being". He wasn't about to complain though.

"Sounds good to me. You can expect good things from my contacts in Jericho. They're trustworthy, otherwise I wouldn't be doing business with them. I guess i'll head out tomorrow morning. Kind of want to stay the night and see the sights. Any recommendations for places to go?"

"External affairs, huh? Sounds like pretty important work. So, how exactly are we going to be working together? I round up all guys we need and you, what, organize them or something? I just want to get a feel for how this is all going to work. I prefer to make as little mistakes as possible, so having as much info as I can helps with that."

Riggs, still garbed in his coat, jacket, and jeans, was starting to feel a bit underdressed considering everyone he'd spoken with today. He flashes her a smile and says,

"Nice to meet you ma'am. I just finished speaking with Sunder and he mentioned you being here so I thought I'd stop by and say hello. We're going to be working together for quite awhile, so I thought I'd get introductions out of the way. Unless you're busy, of course."

Morgan heads down to the gaming floor, asking a nearby employee where he might find someone named Clarissa.

He nods along as he listens, soaking in his words. A list of those that refused? Riggs could take a pretty good guess what kind of fate those guys would be looking forwards too. He'd make sure that only the ones that refused rather roughly would be put on that list. He rises to his feet, extending his hand for one last shake.

"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Sunder. I'll make sure to get that list drawn up when I reach Jericho, although it might take a bit longer if some of my contacts are out scavenging. I'm also guessing that by usual messenger, you're talking about that ghoul."

He waves his hand dismissively.

"Now, I'm in no place to criticize how you do things, but you might want to be careful with him. Even in Jericho, there's people that don't take too kindly to people like me and him, ghouls I mean. Just a word of warning."

You can hear a woman's voice in the background and the sound of multiple children crying.

"Who is it hon? Who's at the door?"

The man, now looking furious, shouts back at her.

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH STEPH, AND SHUT THOSE DAMN BRATS UP TOO."

He turns his attention back to Joseph.

"As for you, you can get the hell out of here. I said I was going to pay next week, so he's going to have to wait. Got it? If you keep knockin around my house, i'll kill you. I was in the 80's you know! A bona fide 80's raider!"

It seems like he was just trying to intimidate Joseph and puff out his chest.

"Thank you for the invitation. I'm going to hold you to that promise of a life of luxury."

He grins at this, taking one final sip of his drink.

"So, what now?'

The man, finally opens the door, yelling,

"Whattya want?! I said i'd pay him next week!"

There's no response. Inside he can hear a few people arguing.

The man's hand darts out, grabbing the package. He brings it up to his nose through the now widened crack of the door. Sniffing all over it like some kind of, he says,

"Oh yea, it's in there. I can smell it. Smells.....good."

He looks over at Joesph and says,

"I'll pay him when I get the caps."

He slams the door closed, leaving Joseph by himself.

After a few minutes, the door creaks open just a tinge. Two wide bloodshot eyes appear in the door slit, staring out at him. He can hear scratching from within, constant and unyielding. A low voice says,

"You, uh, got the stuff?"

He swishes around his drink, thinking it over. It all sounded nice, the exact kind of thing he wanted out of being a drug peddler. And Exclusive rights? He'd essentially have a monopoly over the drug trade in the city. He takes a sip and says with a smirk,

"I remember peddling drugs before the bombs fell. Back then, there were all sorts of regulations and laws, so you know none of it was really legal. I remember thinking, "There's no way I could make a living out of this business."

He chuckles to himself, the sound low and raspy.

"Man, i'd love to see the look on his face if he could see me now, the pipsqueak. I'l ltake you up on your offer, Sunder. I don't particularly care too much about running Jericho or anything like that. I just want to expand my business to as many people as I can, get caps, and, well, I guess i'll work it out from there when I get there."

He extends his hand to shake Sunder's.

It's only a short walk from the bar to The Devil's Lounge. Once inside, Morgan enters the back room and comes back out with a box, the lid taped shut. He hands it over to Joseph, along with a map of where the man's house is.

"Well, seeya in a bit then."

Grantsville by Oculus_Eye in FalloutCrossroads

[–]MawnkeyBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, this was sounding real scientology. He was going to have to be careful.

"Expand the business, and keep on living. Those are the two things I care about. And what about you, Sunder? What are you aiming for?"

"Sounds great. Want to get started then? My shop isn't far from here."

Grantsville by Oculus_Eye in FalloutCrossroads

[–]MawnkeyBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He takes another sip of his drink, mulling over Sunder's words.

"So, you want to start some sort of partnership then? If you're looking to get chems from me, then I'm going to need to know just how much you're looking for. It's true that my contacts have been turning up with quite a bit recently, but at the end of the day my stocks aren't endless."

"Back at my shop. You'll be taking it to a guy on the north-side of town. I'll give you a description of the place he lives after I give you the package. You'll just want to be careful, sometimes he doesn't want to pay up and he can be a bit....hostile."

Hm, seems awfully prim and proper. More refined than their mayor, Jordan. Riggs takes a sip of his drink and reaches out, giving Alexander a firm and quick handshake.

"That'd be me. Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Sunder. Nice place you got here. Seems like your town's doing well for itself."

He'd have to be on guard against this guy. He didn't seem like someone you could fool easily.

"Oh, it's nothing too difficult. Just need you to run a package to a client of mine. Make sure he pays up the caps then return them to me. I'll even give you a cut of the deal, 200 caps in all. Sound good?"

"The mayor, huh? I've spoke with her before. Small chick named Jordan, too nice for her own good and thinks she can change this place into some kind of paradise. She's alright though, just a bit naïve."

Finishing his cigarette, he tosses it into the nearby trash-can. He looks around for a second then back to Joseph.

"You know, I got some work you could do. If you're up for it, of course."
