F!Courier/Dean Domino - A Heist - 7c

(Anonymous) 2013-04-19 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
“Never should have left those stupid handprints,” he growled finally, in a dejected kind of way. He was being robbed one way or another. At least this way she stayed alive, and he ensured his own survival. “Dead giveaway!”

“You certainly went out of your way to avoid the other sections, didn’t you,” she said approaching him. Her voice had no trace of pain she was likely enduring. Miracle of drugs, or something such.

“Residential area always had the least amount of buggers. Which is not saying much considering they could still pack a theater,” he sighed, his tone deflated. Mood was bouncing all over the place and he felt like he was less and less in control of the situation. They went where she dictated – well, where the boss man dictated… she had proceeded to rob him of his precious few valuables. All of that contributed only to worsening his temper.

When he turned back he saw one Sierra Madre chip dancing across her knuckles. His eyes followed it, as the coin twirled and disappeared into her pocket. Not the first one. Not the last one, in fact. She probably had a full purse of those under her belt by now.

She started doing that after the light and gun show, collecting chips but not using too many of them; returning some surviving pre-war bits and pieces for more… Like they were made of gold, and she was at the height of a gold fever. A wheel clicked and turned in his head. Do they even have gold fevers nowadays? Does gold have any value now?

For some incomprehensible reason, these things bothered him. The way she held onto them. It made him paranoid. What will she do once they reached the vault? Perhaps she won’t reach the vault. Perhaps she’ll just open the vault and then…

“You sure came a long way to rob this place. I guess greed is in the blood.” She heard him say, interrupting wherever her thoughts may have gone. Acidic slime oozing from the chomped up limbs of ghosts couldn’t compare to his words.

Guilty was silent at first, mulling over the best suited answer – one that wouldn’t set him off like a powder charge.

“If this is about the Casino, I’ll say right now that I have zero interest in it. Feel free to keep anything you find in it.”

Building falling, behind them preferably, would have had less of an effect.

“Really?” He called with utter disbelief in his voice. She stopped and turned. As the night had fallen and the Cloud had turn from red to sickly purple, she was barely visible in her dark suit, and her helmet tilted down. It made it impossible for Dean to have any grasp of her possible reactions with it obscuring her face. In light that she refused to remove it even in the face of injury he had come to conclusion that she must do it to either keep him on his toes or because she had a face to make him appreciate his own appearance. “Why are you here then? I can’t imagine you stumbling your way into Madre.”

Other reasons… Although Guilty didn’t think Dean would show anything more than a passing, superficial interest in ‘when’ and ‘how’ and ‘that’s bloody why’ of her coming here, she choose not to elaborate.

“I knew Sierra Madre had a vault. I just assumed that it was a shelter from bombs, not a… depository. Guess I didn’t expect things to be this bad when I headed out.”

“Yeah, right,” he snorted but as she kept quiet he turned thoughtful. “Partner,” he started, “people don’t come to Sierra Madre because of nice weather, beautiful atmosphere, generous locals or,” he pointedly looked at her, “to satisfy their curiosity.”

Courier’s eyes narrowed. He was sharp – for the most part. She was yet to decide what to make of that.

“You not believing me is not my problem, unless you decide to make it so,” she spoke softly and moved away, measuring steppes carefully. They had ways to go still.

Dean snorted, because he didn’t believe a word she had said. The Courier had displayed interest in the Madre, Dean didn’t miss things like that, and he was not about to let her get the better of him.

And so it continues. Again, apologies for taking a bit longer.

***

Whenever she looked up through the red fog at night, she could see faint glow of the stars. It was the easiest way to know the difference between day and night, pip-boy notwithstanding, because the shade, the tone, the light… everything remained the same. The same dull rust red that threatened to drive you insane.

So it was with eyes firmly set on weakly twinkling stars that the Courier wondered, where was the thunder coming from? On occasion, often when she least expected it, a thunderous clap would crack over her head making her muscles tense for a brief moment. Before Zion she had never experienced rain and storm. Thunder and lightning and storms not made purely of sand were a new experience to her but to her own surprise even, she had adapted to them quickly. Thunder-like sounds in the Madre had nothing in common with the sky cracking open in the canyon.

The moans were a whole different thing altogether. The screeching and something she could only describe as desperate cries of pain filled the air accompanying every twist and turn. She wanted to ask Dean, the oldest living resident of the Sierra Madre, where the hell was it all coming from but one look on the broken down speakers mounted on the walls, flickering and sparking in all directions was the answer enough. It was easy to be thankful that no living thing was letting out those screams. At this point she needed to believe that no living throat was capable of letting out those noises.

Her eyes swept over the street, the narrow terraces and musty, cracked windows. No traps, no Ghost People so far… they had an appropriate name as they seemed to appear just as fast as they have vanished into the fog. It clicked in her brain than that it had to have been Dean who had named them – who else lived in this resort long enough to see them grow from normal people to something only Big MT’s purely scientific imagination could produce. Two centuries in this place and flair for dramatics still hadn’t left him.

They headed forward, faster now as they approached the final terminal. And approaching the final terminal in many a roundabout way meant being one step closer to the Madre. This time around the activation didn’t need the overly complicated procedure the last one endured; only growing mistrust and doubt mingled with the anticipation in the air. There was no sofa for the ex-star to lounge on, and no awkward subjects were being spouted out. It was quick, it was efficient and before long a blue light of security hologram illuminated that corner of the street that led to the already near inaccessible roof with cut wires.

She paused, zooming in the map on her pip-boy and the markers Elijah had sent her. “I still have to escort Christine and God to their place, so you just sit tight and wait for the signal. With the holograms powered up you should be safe enough.” This was one third of the road done and one more thing to cross off of her list of assignments. Guilty rubbed her chin under the smooth surface of her helmet, already in her mind going through the possible routes she’d likely have to employ, abandon or just improvise. It was fortunate that the resort was relatively small, and that she had highly advanced map with trackers built in.

“Christine? Is that her name?” Dean asked – because he had to say something after a lengthy silence between them, or else she might think he was somehow acquiescent to her, and he couldn’t have that! – expertly ignoring any further mentioning of the mutant. “Of course, you can’t see it in posters but…” The helmet gave him the look. He tried to ignore the unsettling feeling that a black helmet succeeding in doing so. “…never mind. But uh… how do I know the power won’t suddenly go out? And… I don’t know, this still sounds risky to me. For me.”

Guilty let out a small puff of air, with the helmet on it sounded horribly like the wheezing of a gas-mask the Ghosts used and Dean felt an uncontrollable urge to scrub himself clean - it being impossible in current circumstances wasn’t something his brain gave a fiddle-stick about. She had stopped counting hoops she had to jump through to get him to stay in one place as far back as the previous district. The Strip didn’t demand this much micro-management and it had, among many other attractions, cannibals running a deluxe restaurant.

“Far be it for me to tell you but…” the tone of voice she had adopted immediately put the ghoul on edge. It reminded him too much of a woman using a pretense hug as her hand slid down his back reaching for his wallet-… “Dean, a man with cold feet isn’t someone any woman would share her bed with.”

Had crickets survived nuclear blast, and if in some spectacular case they had survived Sierra Madre, they’d surely be supplementing the atmosphere right now.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked tersely, cigar out of his mouth and quickly forgotten under his heel. It happened a lot since they became ‘partners’ in this little heist.

“Christine. You wall-flowered away when she gave you the silent treatment, didn’t you?”

Muscles around the remains of his nose flared, and she knew that his eyes had narrowed as well. If there was one thing Dean Domino did not take light of, it was mocking. Now, an angry Dean was not a manageable Dean, but the Courier refused to try and placate him.

“There’s no need to spit fire and radiation. You got away scot-free and in one piece. Not many could say that after propositioning to an assassin from Brotherhood of Steel.” Who also wasn’t interested in men in any way, shape or form, but the Guilty decided that she shouldn’t crumb-stomp Domino’s ego too much. It might backfire.

“Brotherhood of what now-…?” He had no idea what she was talking about and it certainly had no bearing to-…“Assassin?!”

The black helmet and her shoulders shivered a bit in what he assumed was suppressed laughter – and so much worse for her if it was! – but she wasn’t about to elaborate further as the helmet sagged to the side. Regardless, he looked incredibly glad that nothing came of it his ill-timed proposition in the end. So much so that he didn’t even bother to hide that he had tried something to begin with. His focus was once more squarely set on the postman and the ridiculous insinuations she had been concocting.

“Let’s clear something up here. I am not scared. I never said I was. And you’re being ridiculous if you think so. I’ve played to worse crowds than this. I can hold the fort here.” Especially if it meant he’d finally get into the casino, and into that vault. “But listen… try and get in the Sierra Madre without me. You’ll wish you haven’t,” he leaned over her, all imposing-like, with a look, and a lowered voice, and promises of unpleasant things left hanging in the air. Things he could provide in the centuries past, when situation called for it.

Guilty paused, and she was not amused. He threatened her. He – a spoiled lounge singer who was lucky enough not to be killed outright by radiation and managed to survive in this little old world pocket of hell, was threatening her – someone who was born and bred into the survival-of-the-strongest reality of the post-war world.

Had his intentions of eventually killing her not so plain, she might have found him charming in his refusal to take her seriously as anything more than a small time thief who was going to make off with his cut. But it told her one thing she needed to know: Dean held on to things he considered to be his for dear life, be they material or emotional. What out of the two the Madre, the casino, was to him she didn’t know yet, but his focus was becoming a problem.

Silently, she turned around to walk away and brought her arm up, switching between tabs on her pip-boy. It looked like she had come to some vital conclusion. Dean had noticed this too and when she quickly, not to say furiously, started typing across the keys he gripped her arm and brought the pip-boy’s screen to his face.

“‘Note to self: take off that poster of ‘King of Swing’ from the wall,’” he read in a little menu labeled as ‘NOTES’. These words piqued his interest immediately, and brought a sensation to his dissolute heart the kind he hadn’t felt in a while. He laughed, the previous tension shattered. “So they did survive, as well! And how’s that for a pleasant surprise? I didn’t picture you as a fan,” he managed between chuckles. She wasn’t. Patiently, and with great effort, she stayed silent but this news had brought amusement and heightened his spirit, so he pressed on in a most devious manner he could imagine. “Is it signed?”

Yes. As a matter of fact it was. And framed. And behind bulletproof glass. And Mr. New Vegas took liking to playing some of Domino’s songs more often than it was humane. But she wasn’t going to tell him any of that, oh no, because that would turn him from merely pompous to nigh insufferable. One was harder to deal with than the other.

“The previous owner of the flat had a thing for you, so don’t flatter yourself on my account.”

It didn’t help, because he did flatter himself. The world outside hadn’t forgotten about Dean Domino, not like they did Vera Keys. His fame might have faded, got trashed and buried under sand, and under general impression that he was dead, might simply be overlooked as the Old World curiosity. But he had not disappeared; the memory of him had not turned to dust and ashes. All right, so Danny Parker was among the bunch of surviving wall-stickers, but that bastard wasn’t alive now and he could do nothing to prevent Dean from tearing every single one of them on his track across the world – provided he chose to take some time off his busy schedule and waste it by doing so.

He grinned widely, not bothering to hide the satisfaction this news had brought to him. He looked at the postman, a woman wrapped left and right in armour thick enough to stop bullets, if not knives. The Courier had delivered him some great news indeed.

Scoffing but satisfied that the ghoul was pacified and would finally stay in one place, presumingly smoking like a chimney, Guilty stepped away from him and not looking back disappeared down the street and into the Cloud. When she got back to Lucky 38, and she was getting home, over Elijah’s and everyone else’s cold bodies if needed be, that poster was coming off of her wall. If Sierra Madre thought her anything, it was that the last thing she wanted was a grinning Dean Domino watching her sleep.

This story is a bit wasted on me as I haven't played the DLC, but it's really nicely written.

By the way the usual practice is to make each chapter a reply to the 1st installment. I only mention this because in a long fill like this if you reply to the last updates instead of the first it will keep moving to the right and you risk disappearing off the edge of the page!
