IF I COULD BURN THIS TOWN - raid

MICAH K. · 12-01-2020, 09:42 AM

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]after the announcement at the meeting, micah doesn't hesitate to round up members to accompany him and juliette to northstar district. the two administrators would pose as a distraction, acting as though this is simply a friendly visit, as if they're on a tour to meet all the other leaders around. then, the rest of the party would come in. micah stresses the necessity to take any and all weapons, as well as any substances, and then they raiders could have a field day, taking anything else they want as long as the weapons and drugs and alcohol are prioritized. he lays out the rules and expectations in his usual manor of conducting himself and business, a stern and stoic face, little inflection in his tone.

he'd let juliette dress up in a nice suit, knowing the impression both juli and teddy wanted to portray. once he's put together, micah slides a pistol into a pocket on the inside of his open suit jacket. after saying a goodbye to their twin boys, the knopes set off with their entourage.

" one of yous will stay with juli 'n i, " micah instructs, " [color=#000000]the rest, position yourselves and wait 'til we got the leader busy, take 'em into a buildin' or somethin', then go in. remember! badlands supplies first, if i hear anyone picked other shit first, ya ain't gonna like it, " he adds the warning, but is curious if anyone will try to get too greedy; he'd love to show them what disobeying the administration would result in. it'd be fun for him, whatever punishment came to mind.

hm. a graveyard greeting visitors? seems ghoulish. he shrugs to himself before looking back to the people following, " [color=#000000]go, get ready, " he hisses. adjusting his coat and glancing at juliette, a sly smile coming onto his face; this is where he shines. when he's sure everyone who's meant to hide has gone, he begins to try and get someone's attention from inside northstar.

an npc meets them as they reach the gate. " [color=#000000]we're fixin' to meet the guardian, is it, " micah states as he instinctively adjusts his grip on his brass knuckles he almost never took off, " [color=#000000]i'm micah, this is my wife juliette, we're here from the badlands. " he's never good at the talking, that's much more juli's wheelhouse. " [color=#000000]somewhere we can sit 'n chat? "

// so, essentially bl is raiding nd for supplies mostly to start their stockpiling. they're masquerading as a friendly visit to meet green.

[align=center][div style="width: 430px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 6pt; letter-spacing: 2.5px; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 12px; color: #000"]The memory still burned in the back of his mind. Peaceful citizens cowering in fear of their life as the vicious Badlands stormed the quaint coastal city of Northstar District. They seized control of the group, they took everything from them. Children slept on empty stomachs and families struggled to make ends meet. Cordial fishermen were overworked as they tried to keep up with the Badlands’ acquisitive demands. All of those people were still alive right now — because of Green.

Things were finally going Green’s way. In fact, life was going great. Finally, after months of torment, whether it was from the Badlands or from Mateo, Green finally had the chance to live his life to his very fullest. He found love, he was raising two children, he had the greatest friends who meant so much to him, and his dogs were his most loyal companions. Green adored each and every member of Northstar District with the utmost authenticity. In fact, he tried so hard to save each and every one of his people because he had no idea how to help himself.

As long as his people were content, then Green could live in peace.

He’d heard through the grapevine of the Badlands’ change of leadership, not that it mattered much to him anymore. Green would always be somewhat wary of the group ever since the events which had happened in the past, but he’d give the new leaders a chance. After all, the constant fear that they’d attack again was stressful — perhaps there would come a day where the two groups could hold out the olive branch to one another.

He was ever an optimist.

Upon hearing that two of the new Badlands’ leaders were wandering around Northstar territory, Green was quick to assume that they were here to see him. Whilst an NPC pointed out that they seemed to be friendly, Green couldn’t help the pang of panic that sat heavy in his chest. He was simply paranoid at this point, he had to remind himself as he went to greet the two leaders. If they wanted to cause any harm, then they would’ve done so by now. ❝ It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. ❞ Green put on a smile, despite the worry, as he approached the three Badlanders.

❝ You can call me Green. Would you like to sit down? There’s a cafe in the town square, if you’d like to sit there. ❞ If this were to happen this time last year, Green would have welcomed them into his home to talk. Nowadays, the thought of bringing strangers into his home only induced a panic at the memory of being alone in his living room with Mateo. Never again would he put himself in such a compromising position. With a wary smile, Green’s gaze shifted across the leaders before he led them to the cafe. The small talk came easy to him as he nervously chatted. Hopefully this would be better than last time.

As they finally reached the cafe, other patrons in the shop were quick to leave as the three leaders took a seat. ❝ So, what brings you here today? ❞

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]micah offers a tight-lipped smile, about as good and friendly he gets. bringing up the back of the trio, he periodically looks over his shoulder to see if he can see any badlanders. in reality, he hopes this stays mostly stealthy, he doesn't want to kill the leader or start a huge brawl, not with both him and juliette being here. he can't have anything happen to her and they have the boys to return home to. hopefully, they'll look just like visitors to the peaceful coastal town.

holding the door so juli can walk in, micah looks back again, spotting a few people entire the city, he thinks some of their names are kipp and salem. he takes a deep breath, a surge of power beginning to go through him. their plans were finally getting underway. micah wants guns to be a rare discovery within the new world, driving people to have to go through the badlands to maybe get their weapons; even then, they'll probably steal them back.

juliette positions herself to face outside, that's his girl. he knows he has to put on a bit of a front, being a bit more chatty than is usual. " introducin' ourselves, thought it be appropriate, " he leans back in his chair slightly. " [color=#000000]m'brother is back at da badlands, ya understand, but two outta three ofus here, " micah makes a bit of an attempt to be chummy. " [color=#000000]'swell, we havin' casino nights, y'all more than invited, they some good times, " he tells him, eyes drifting to behind green as he spots one of his npcs begin to get into a bit of a scuffle with someone from northstar.

SALEM

ENTRY #01

8.15.16

BL PROSPECTIVE

[div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 333px; min-height: 347px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: #000000; line-height: 99%;"]Salem had pressed herself against the back of the building, peering into the window on occasion to see how Micah and Juliette were fairing. What she did not expect, however, was to hear Green's voice. She figured it must've been a mistake...there was no way Green was leader now, right?

She collapsed with a thud when she glanced inside again and saw her childhood best friend walking side by side with the Badlands' leaders.

Salem didn't know if she could do this. Green was the reason why she was able to escape, why she was able to start a new life. It felt wrong to stab him in the back and raid his beloved city.

When she shoved her hands into her pockets, debating whether or not she should simply leave, she felt the switchblade she'd packed for the raid. It was smooth, yet with the flick of a wrist it could be deadly; she thought it was glorious. She'd brought it with the intention of killing someone, cutting out someone's tongue for Juliette, doing anything.

Quietly, Salem stood up and crept to the side of the building, waiting for a signal. She knew she had to keep going, no matter what. She was a Badlander after all: loyalties outside of the group wouldn't be tolerated.
