voice testing again after so long

[donttreadon]

And here I was starting to hope you forgot all about me.

I don't care that you "miss" me. We tried this before, and it's one headache I'm happy to avoid reliving. The only war I need to be worrying about is ours, understood?

Comments

[first_of_steel]

They never listen.

Believe me, I've tried.

[donttreadon]

I have no doubt about that. Guess it really is too optimistic to hope for in the long run.

[first_of_steel]

Mine's still trying to find a place to stick me even though she knows damn well the kind of responsibilities I have at home. They take some kind of bizarre joy in interrupting important work for the sake of plot.

[donttreadon]

Children generally have a hard time grasping the concept of responsibility. Still, I'd count yourself lucky that she hasn't settled on anywhere just yet.

[justnumbers]

You mean the war with the Legion? You don't need to worry, Colonel Moore. I've got this.

[Just... tell Oliver to cool it, will you? The Courier doesn't want to throw him off the Dam again.]

[donttreadon]

[Yes Courier, please don't. You have no idea how much paperwork it takes to keep replacing him. 8(]

We've got this. These men have fought the Legion once before, they can fight them again.

It's not that I don't appreciate your aid. But while you've proven to be surprisingly capable, this is hardly a matter we can just leave in the hands of one woman. [Curt? Moore? Never.]

[justnumbers]

[Well maybe if he stopped being such a huge dick, he wouldn't need a date with the law of gravity, now, would he? :| ]

...May I at least help? I won't deny that the NCR's troops are impressive. [Especially First Recon.] But an extra set of hands never hurts.

Besides... I only want to do what's right. [Right for the Mojave, anyway.]

[donttreadon]

[Moore won't argue there. :| But alas, superior officer and all.]

[Also, as much as she's against the thought of using civilians....] I'm not one to turn down an extra gun when it's offered. As I said, the aid is appreciated, especially now.

[ex_desertfox514]

Why don't you come with me, Colonel, and I'll show you what real war is.

/sidles into this thread

[justnumbers]

...Don't you dare.

[Haaaaet.]

[ex_desertfox514]

Dare what? Talk to the Colonel? Stop me if you think yourself strong enough.

[justnumbers]

[Click goes the hammer on the dainty little derringer that Courier Six is packing. But she doesn't raise it from her side.]

Talk is... fine. But if you try to hurt Colonel Moore, Vulpes Inculta, then I promise you, I will burn Fortification Hill to the ground.

[donttreadon]

[Daww, color Moore surprised.]

Being assigned to a desk hasn't made me any less capable of handling myself. Stand down, courier. We'll have time enough for that very soon.

[ex_desertfox514]

You should visit the Fort some time. Our men have better control of their mongrels than you seem to.

[donttreadon]

You would enjoy that, wouldn't you. Come back to the dam and I can show you the same.

[ex_desertfox514]

Make no mistake, we'll meet on that battlefield soon enough. I can't promise that it'll be in person, though.

[donttreadon]

That's too bad. I was looking forward to the chance of seeing you again.

[Through a rifle scope. :|]

[mojavewildcard]

Yeah, I'd say that war is a little more important.

Trouble with the mundane Colonel?

[donttreadon]

I'm glad that so many are in agreement, at least.

I may as well be shouting at the wall, for all the good this does.

[mojavewildcard]

It's not a hard sell for most of us who've seen the Legion.

Do they have anything planned for you, or just thoughts? Distracting them with something else might work if it's the latter.

[donttreadon]

It's a shame it's only "most".

But no, thoughts I wouldn't even waste my time with. She has a place in mind, but fortunately there are others with a higher priority before she comes back to me.

[mojavewildcard]

There's always those who can look the other way with things like that. Or the ones who actually don't think they're insane men, running around with dead animals tied to their heads, destroying everything they find.

[The Courier is not a fan. She also believes that the NCR is the best choice for the Mohave out of the alternatives.]

That's good. Always better to have a few people between you and the mun's plans. Especially since the plans are always things like; what horrible place can I send them today?

[No mundane, she will not get over her recent DLC adventures. They were not fun.]

[donttreadon]

[Clearly a courier after Moore's own heart. ♥] Hard to say which is worse sometimes. But it won't much matter in the end.

....I believe I know the feeling all too well, unfortunately.

[mojavewildcard]

[Totally. Minus a few strong ties to the Brotherhood of Steel and the Followers of course. Shesh Moore, it's like you don't want her to make truces with everyone else the NCR doesn't like.]

Nope. Though if the people who like the Legion decided to follow the failing remains of it back East, I don't think I'd be too heartbroken.

[Quite the opposite in fact.]

Yes, that wonderful feeling of dread and paranoia. And knowing you're going to be shot at a lot in the future.

OH HI THERE

[snarkingscribe]

...well, fancy seeing you around, Colonel.

[Cue the most awkward 'PLEASE DON'T KILL ME' grin Veronica can muster.]
