Knox opens a beer he had taken out of Gamorrah and flops on a bench outside of it, facing the street and door, and just people watches.

With his pay now in his pocket, although to Lucius it was nothing more than a nice bonus for serving the Legion, the Legion Scout walked out of the Lucky 38 onto the strip. He was still somewhat sore from his fight with the Deathclaws, so he decided to head over to the Old Mormon Fort he had saw in Freeside. He had heard of the Followers of the Apocalypse before (he had even heard stories about how the Caesar himself had been one before beginning the Legion) and from what he could tell, they would be able to take care of his wounds.
With his goal in mind, Lucius strode off down the Strip and into Freeside. His Legion armor once again attracted alot of attention from random passersby. None of them gave him any grief though as a Legionaire confidently walking through New Vegas fully armed was not someone to be messed with. None of them that is except a group of thugs, no doubt on something. They must have figured since Lucius had no friends in this area, he would be an easy target. Nobody else on the street seemed interested in helping him, as everyone was moving away from the group, wanting nothing to do with the Legionaire or the thugs.
One of the thugs barked at Lucius from the back of the group, "Well, look who we have here. Some Legion punk who thinks he can just walk right down these streets without any trouble. You're a long way from the Fort, ya bloodthirsty tribal."
Lucius merely stared at the approaching group, showing nothing but subtle contempt for them. "I don't care what you call me dissolute. Get out of my way now before I severe your drug-addled mind from your neck."
"Heh, he thinks he can take us boss," one of the other thugs said, obviously eager for a fight.
"Well if you think you can take us, why don't you show us what you're made of? Show 'im who's streets these are boys!" yelled the leader of the group.
The only response from Lucius was a thin smirk while he took out his machete.

One of the thugs, obviously high out of his mind, ran forth with a yell, swinging a pool cue at the Scout's head. Lucius brought his left arm up to take the blow, no doubt bruising himself, but still staying on his feet. In response though, he made a brutal strike at the neck of the thug, cutting deep into his jugular. Blood began pumping vigorously out of the neck of the unfortunate man as Lucius removed his blade and waited as another two thugs came at him.
One came swinging a lead pipe, which the Legionaire managed to dodge, and other came with a pair of brass knuckles. He hit the Scout in the jaw and despite Lucius' attempt to roll with the blow, the punch still hurt. With a yell, Lucius swung his blade into the man's side in retaliation, making him cry out in pain. He dodged another clumsy blow from the lead pipe and received another punch to the chest, though it had much less effect due to the Legion armor. With his adrenaline pumping through him now, the Scout made another quick swipe, this time into the left side of the thug he had already hit, right before making another swipe at the neck. More blood flowed as the blade was removed, though Lucius received a blow to the back of his head, thankfully dulled by his helmet. The Legionaire turned around and lashed out somewhat clumsily at his attacker's face, which the man managed to partly dodge. He still received a gash across the side of his face, which gave Lucius some time
The leader of the thugs had entered the melee now and swung his sledgehammer at Lucius. The Legionaire was in full battle mode now, a crazed grin spread across his face, and he dodged the slow blow somewhat easily. While Lucius would have loved to draw out the fight somewhat, he had places to go. So the Scout allowed the leader to make another sweep with his weapon, which he once again dodged out of the way of, before tackling the man to the ground. He hacked at one of the man's hands, allowing Lucius to rip the hammer out of his other and throw it out of the way. Lucius now was kneeling over the man, who now seemed genuinely scared, looking around at the crowd that had begun to gather around the fight. No one moved in to help him and his distraction made it easy for Lucius to set up his killing blow. Gripping the man's head in place, he made a long and forceful horizontal slash across the neck, cutting most of the way through. He quickly made another cut, removing the head completely. Lucius lifted the head up to eye level and made one last grin at the now lifeless eyes of the thug before cutting off one of the ears and throwing away the rest of the severed body part.
The Scout now stood up and pocketed the ear, looking around at the people who had gathered. All of them looked at Lucius with a mixture of awe and horror due to what had just happened. The Legionaire payed them little heed and continued on walking to the Mormon Fort, leaving the bodies of the thugs to rot in the streets.

Now with a new set of bumps and bruises, Lucius set back off to the Mormon Fort to get patched up. He realized that going so as an obvious member of the Legion might not be a good idea, as the recent fight proved, and so went off to find another pair of clothes. He happened upon a small store named Mick and Ralph's and entered. The two men tending the store immediately jumped up and aimed their pistols at him, obviously expecting trouble.
"What are you doing here Legion? Last time I checked your kind weren't regulars to New Vegas or Freeside," one of them asked.
"I am an exception. I'm here on Legion business working with the Mr. House. I do not intend to cause trouble. I am only here to buy another set of clothes," Lucius replied while raising his hands to make sure they knew he was telling the truth.
"Oh really? And why is that? Looking to infiltrate New Vegas for the Legion?"
"No, only so that I can walk through these streets without having every weapon pointed in my direction as I do so. I have the bottle caps you use as currency and am willing to pay."
The two men looked at each other for a moment before the one closest to Lucius lower his weapon, although the one farther in the store continued to keep his shotgun trained on the Legionaire. "Well I've got an outfit that will help you from drawing attention. It'll cost you 55 caps."
"I will take it, as well as a sack to store my armor for now," Lucius replied immediately, hoping to get the suit as soon as possible to change into.
Somewhat surprised by the Legionaire's acceptance at the price for the armor, Ralph figured he could get some more out of the man, "Well a sack will cost another 10 caps, making it a total of 65."
"Very well," Lucius said while handing over the requested amount. Ralph went and grabbed the outfit (a merc cruiser suit) while Mick continued to watch the Legionaire the whole time from behind the barrel of his shotgun. Lucius made no moves though as Ralph returned with the suit and sack before headed out the door upon receiving them. With another outfit to clothe himself with, Lucius headed into an alley where he wouldn't be seen and changed out of his Legion armor. Now not obviously Legion, Lucius walked over the the Mormon Fort to find a doctor.
Upon entering he was welcomed by a guard whom he told what he was there for. She called one of the doctor's over to, who agreed to treat him. Lucius followed the Follower over to a tent where him strip off most of his armor so that the doctor could look over his wounds. The Follower seemed surprised at the amount of cuts, bruises and scars that covered the man's body, but it seemed he could treat them all. Lucius requested that Med-x not be used to help dull the pain of the treatment, which once again surprised the Follower, but Lucius proved that he was a cooperative patient as he simply ground his teeth against the pain as the open cuts on his body were stitched up. He payed up the 50 bottle caps that was the payment for the treatment before leaving the Mormon Fort.
Now done with what he had headed into Freeside to do, Lucius walked back over to the strip. He barely spared a glance at the bodies of the thugs he had killed, now moved over to the entrance of a side-street and obviously looted. He showed the Securitrons guarding the gate to the Strip his passport and then walked through.

All these spoilers are to keep from getting everyone confused as to what's happening when as I'm writing what Lucius is doing while Lemiel is writing for the group.
After about 30-40 minutes of people watching Dead Eye decided to walk around a bit. As he was walking past Ghommorah he noticed knoxx doing what he himself had just been doing.
"So did you happen to throw your Khan colors onto your Tesla armour yet?
he asked curiosly.
"So did you happen to throw your Khan colors onto your Tesla armour yet?
he asked curiosly.
"Yeah. I went out and bought this." He points to his new Troublemaker outfit. "Oh wait, you mean decorate it. No, I haven't gotten around to it yet."
-----On the strip-----
Ethan, Marcus and Sarah had moved down across the strip, stopping a securitron on the way. "Hey, boxy, can you connect to House?"
"I can, what would you like to know?"
(E)"See if he can find out where we can spend nights here in Vegas."
"All the hotels are currently open for residence. This unit will accompany you to the hotel of your choice, and inform its owners.
(E)"Well, I'm going over to Vault 21, from what I know of Vaults it'll be the safest place on the Strip."
(S)"Are you sure Ethan? It's DULL in a vault, nothing but grey and metal. Just walls, no windows, no sun."
(E)"And all that spells safety, we're going to 21. You're still getting a free place on the strip."
(S)"Oh, all right, you're paying though."
(M)"I'll take a room at the Tops. I don't trust the Omertas or those freaks in the Ultra Lux." Marcus said. "Also," he said to the robot, "Have one of you bring my armor to the Tops."
(K)Knox sees the group walk through the doors and chugs his drink. He tosses it into the nearest can and walks to them. "Hey guys! Miss."
(E)"Oh, hey Knox; we're looking for places to stay on the strip, you want to come with?"
(K)"sure, not like I have anything else to do."
Lucius also came over out of the gate from Freeside, he saw the impromptu group standing together and approached.
(L)"What has happened so far with the rest of you?"
(E)"Oh, not all that much. We're looking for a place to stay while we're on the Strip."
(L)"Then I'll join you"
The first stop was Gomorrah, given that it was directly across from the lucky 38 it was a quick stop for them to make. Knox and Lucius talked to the the proprietor and negotiated a good deal on a permanent residence. With house's approval through the Securitron they agreed to a payment of 500 caps for a permanent residence.
Next was the Tops, Marcus made the same deal with the chairmen, 500 caps for a permanent residence.
Finally, Ethan and Sarah, having been left by the group when they entered the hotels. Went to Vault 21. They and the Securitron made their way into the Vault 21 office and gift shop. and talked to the woman in the Vault uniform behind the desk, making the same deal. He handed over the 500 caps, and the two of them, holding each other close, made their way down into the Vaults rooms.
-----Ethan-----
Sarah had dropped her things off in a locker in the rooms in Vault 21. Ethan saw that the entirety of it was essentially a few spare Followers coats, some books and some food.
"If this is all you have to wear then we clearly both need to get some clothes to wear on the Strip."
The pair walked up to the main office, and asked the blonde behind the desk where they could buy clothes. The two walked out, hand in hand over to Mick and Ralphs, that sold what they were looking for. Ethan chose out a dusty suit described by the salesman as a 'gamblers' suit, and a black, wide brimmed desperado cowboy hat to keep the sun out of his eyes, along with a pair of sunglasses, to help while playing poker. He also bought a set of brown and grey dye and paint, to color his Combat armor, in order to be less visible in the waste land.
Sarah picked out for herself an accompanying dress, finding a veiled hat that went well with it. And Ethan picked out for her a set of sexy sleepwear, which brought on a lot of giggling from Sarah and feigned reluctance as he brought it over to the counter.
He also bought her a silenced .22, when Mick brought it out from behind the counter she showed genuine concern on her face.
"Ethan, that's a gun, you know how I feel about guns."
"yeah, but you know that the wasteland is dangerous."
"I still don't like guns."
"Listen, I care about you, and I don't want you to get hurt. If a gun will make that possible, then I'll get you a gun"
"I'm a follower, I help people, I don't shoot them."
"Listen, I don't care if you run over to patch up a guy after you shoot them, hell I love you because I know you would. As long as you're safe."
After a long pause, Mick spoke up, "So, are you going to get the gun or what?"
Sarah looked at the sliver .22, and finally nodded her head. "Alright" She picked it up and concealed it in her dress. Then took a step back.
Ethan payed the 130 caps for the lot, when he saw the distress Sarah was in over owning a gun, he hugged her sand whispered calming words. The two walked back onto the strip, arms around each others waists, keeping close to the other. Dressed to gamble and to turn heads on the Strip.

When the group headed away. Dead Eye went wondering into Freeside since he heard Night Owl mumbling something about it. He found him shortly sitting on the curb starring into nothingness. After he called his name a few times, he finally nudged him a few times with the buttt of his rifle to no avail. Finaly he fired the ARM next to his head. This finaly awoke him from the chance.
"Jesus christ man, What the hell is wrong with you? Well anyway I'm going to Camp McCarren for the night, You wana come? Hell of alot safer than here."
"Jesus christ man, What the hell is wrong with you? Well anyway I'm going to Camp McCarren for the night, You wana come? Hell of alot safer than here."
"Sure, I'm up for it. Only thing is that I don't need the pay."
After finishing the conversation with House, Isaac looked a bit around. He saw many snowglobes. "I guess he has a weakness for collection. Look at the number of those things." He thought.
He decided to have a night walk in the Strip, so he went to the elevator. By the elevator stood the man he was following. With nothing better to do, Isaac tried to start a conversation: "Hello there. The name's Isaac, you must be Charles, right? I guess we are on the same team, so maybe we get to know each other better? You know, like partners do."

Night Owl laughed.
"Sorry about that, need to get more sleep I guess. Lost track of time, sure may as well head back to McCarran, the longer you hang around vegas the higher the chance of you having no caps left gets." Night Owl got to his feet and joined Dead Eye.

"Isaac" Said chaz cautiously, "first off, its chaz, secondly, you're on the verge of a very dangerous secret from what house said to me - you tell anyone, and i will personally stick a three-ought-eight in your skull whilst you sleep".
With his warning given, chaz took the elevator down to the ground level of the '38, and walked up to the nearest securitron.
"Hey victor", he said, imperiously,"take a weeks worth of my 'packages' to the Ultra-Luxe's high roller suite for me, will you?"
"Yes sir", acknowledged the securitron, rolling off to do its new task. with this taken care of, Charles decided to stop off at mick and ralph's for some odds and ends he would require. As he arrived, he saw a man only slightly shorter than himself exiting, and putting a set of legionary armour into a sack. slightly puzzled, Chaz entered the shop, and purchased a Sheriff's hat (35), A pair of Lucky shades (40), and 3 stimpacks (225), 20 additional rounds of .308 (80) and 42 of .357 (84), for a total of (486), which he paid before leaving.
As chaz walked back through freeside, a group of three thugs ran towards him. Quickly drawing his .357, Chaz dropped two of them before they even reached him (3 rounds), and, after dodging a clumsy swing from a pool cue, double-tapped the last thug, adding yet another to freeside's growing body count. After taking the meager 12 caps the thugs were carrying, along with 2 syringes of Jet, Chaz continued to his suite in the Ultra-Luxe.
In his suite, Chaz partook of one of house's packages, and found it to be of brilliant quality. he would have to inquire where house had got these from...

Intimidated by Chaz, Isaac decided not to get involved in this ?secret? who he apparently has no idea of. ?Hey you, say to House that if he needs me, i'll be at the freeside.? He said to the nearby securitron. As he said that, he rode down and went out of the Lucky 38.
*sniff* Ahh. The smell of trouble, I like it. To make it better, I should get some booze. ?Hey there! You look like someone who knows where to find some Whiskey or Liqour I'm new around here, I could use some advice.? He said to an oiled man and grinned, because he knew that he'll soon have one hell of a time.

Possible word mistakes, English isn't my native.
Alex did a couple more workout techniques and left the hotel. He noticed that no one would start a fight with a man in power armour carrying a laser rifle.
2 things.
1.Do we have a price list for residence at hotels.
2.I'm not sure if you can join (person above)

So after buying his supplies from Mick and Ralph's (65) as well as getting a residence at Gomorrah (500), Lucius now has 85 bottle-caps to spare. I also figure that he has a little Legion coin as well, so I figure 10 Denarii.
Also his Luck stat is 5, which rounded is 2 and a half. Seeing as you can't roll half of a die, whenever I roll to gamble I'll roll 2 extra die along with the 2 that I will always count; one is for that half point of Luck and the other is to see whether I can use it (if I roll a 1 I can't and if I roll a 2 I can). This means that occasionally I'll have 3 dice to choose from, while other times I'll only have 2.

With only 69 bottle caps and 10 Denarii, Lucius figured he wouldn't be winning much, but then of course the Legionaire had never relied heavily on stuff that you needed to buy. Moving over to the chip dealer, Lucius exchanged 60 of his bottle-caps and 8 of his Denarii for a total of 84 chips (OoC: Bottle-caps exchange for 1 chip and a Denarius for 4). Making his way over to the blackjack table, Lucius watched several games be played to try to get a handle on the rules of the game. After some time, the Scout figured that he had a good enough grasp to try his luck. Hoping to win some more caps to use while he was on the strip.
Walking over to the dealer, Lucius got some odd looks due to his less than formal outfit, but the look of unwavering purpose on his face, as well as his recent scars, meant that nobody complained; in earshot anyway. Laying down 20 of his chips, Lucius figured he would start small and see if he could win some more chips before betting anything big. His first couple plays, though starting with horrible luck, ended with a good streak overall for Lucius, earning him an amazing 200 chips for the measly 20 he had originally put down. Seeing as Luck seemed to be on his side, Lucius put down another 60 to see if his streak could continue. It seemed like it did, as Lucius won a bit more this, but nowhere near as much as doing his first couple playthroughs. Lucius decided that he would have another go, much to the interest of the people who had begun to gather thanks to extremely good luck during his first couple plays. This time he decided to try big and but down a full 100 chips. His gamble paid off again as those around him cheered his good luck, with him winning another large amount due to some luck and smart moves. A sizable group had gather around the dealer's table now, eager to watch as this strange man seemed to win out in the end time and time again. Lucius also found a woman wearing very little wrapped around his arm while he played out the games. Figuring that he might as well have one more go before calling it quiets, Lucius put down another 150 chips, hoping to squeeze just a bit more out of his good streak. Nothing more came of it though, as he pretty much broke even in the the end. He picked up the multitude of chips that he now had and headed over to the chip dealer to exchange them for caps and Legion coin (52 chips for 13 Denarii and the other 852 exchanged for caps).
1st time, 20 chips down: 1, 10, 3; 2 - Third roll used, but it doesn't matter. Won really big (10x = 200). Chips now at 284.
2nd time, 60 chips down: 7, 5, 10; 1 - Third roll discarded ( :'( ). Won a little bit though (2x = 120). Chips now at 404 (chips not found).
3rd time, 100 chips down: 9, 6, 6; 2 - Third roll used, but once again it doesn't matter. Won big again (5x = 500). Chips now at 904.
4th time, 150 chips down: 2, 5, 4, - Third roll used, didn't matter. Broke even, chips stayed the same.
His final money count is 861 bottle caps and 15 Denarii.

Knox wanders into the Gamorrah adn hands his Riot and Sledge to the bouncer and is patted down. He then walks over to the desk woman and gets everything all straightend around for a room and heads on up for a nap.
I have 500 caps and its 500 for a residence 
Alex walked back into the strip and decided to watch some entertainment at the tops. He walked in to the Aces Theatre and watched a group he didn't know the name of preform. He walked out and went down to the tables.
Where is the roll link for gambling?
NM about OOC2 in previous post. BTW I really did get 10 on my gambling. 1st roll-2, 2nd-4, 3rd-10 (I have 7 luck so I rolled 3 times)
Alex walked to the tables and bet 100 caps. He used some earlier techniques and hit the house jackpot.
"Thats me for the night. Cheers." said Alex before departing.
Night Owl took the train to McCarran and found the locker he used on the odd occasions he was present at McCarran. With his gear safely locked away, Night Owl found a place for himself to rest. He was hoping to get a full night sleep rather than the few restless hours he usually managed. Running on Nuka Cola couldn't be good for your health.
Having dined at his suite, Chaz decided to hit the tables once again, in pursuit of more caps. he left 1500 in his room, and went down to the gambling halls, and straight to the blackjack tables. he put down his 226 remaining chips, and within the hour had a return of +1000 chips (2,7,4,10). he pocketed the 1000, and put the initial 226 down once more, with no return (3,5,1,4). having played 2 almost 2 hours of blackjack, chaz hit the bar for a Scotch (-20), leaving 6 caps as a tip, and wandered over for a few spins of the wheel. putting his 200 caps on the table, he played for a further hour (5,8,3,5), giving a return of +600 caps. Chaz decided at this point to retire for the night, and went back to his room, becoming somewhat familiar with the feeling of counting his winnings. walking through the casino, Chaz happened upon a slightly drunk girl, who he estimated to be around 25, and started talking. her eyes lit up at the sight of the 1800 caps chaz was just putting into his bag, and they started chatting. as it became clear that the girl was interested in more than just talking, Chaz spotted an opportunity, and invited the girl back to his room....
well, this luck's paying off! a good night of gambling - the rolls are in the text.

Alex walked away from the blackjack dealer and decided to change his winnings to caps and enquire about a residence.
"Hey, I'm with house and wondering if you got any rooms open." he said.
"Yeah, Pay up." said the guy.
Alex gave him the money and went up to his room.
CAPS: 1000
