Roleplay part 7

I'm doing it based on what you guys said you put out and what you said you need.
I shook my head, drawing my attention back away from thinking about my sister. Insomnia had kept me awake periodically during the night, so it was a welcome sight to see Odessa preparing coffee. Sucking in the smell, I smiled and thanked her as I put some into my cup. "Melkov, have you sorted out the ammunition-split?"
Taking a drink of the coffee, I coughed and looked at the floor in front of me. There were piles of softly gleaming rounds and dull red shells, each nicely divided up. I did indeed have all of the ammunition sorted out. "Odessa, I think you can hang on to all of the 12 gauge shells. Nobody else has a shotgun right now. After that, it gets little trickier. For those of us using 7.62mm" I looked at Dark, since he was the only other one "I'm going to keep 3 of these AK magazines for the gun bag, and fill just one of the HK 91 mags. Then, I've gotta take 120 for my FN FAL, so there's 240 extra rounds for you." I pushed Dark's magazines that he had put out, plus the extra rounds over to him.

"Sergei and Odessa, you guys get 450 rounds apiece of 5.45mm."

"Now, Zhenya, I don't know how many magazines you have left,comrade. But, if you don't have any, then you and Benjamin are splitting the 5.56mm mags 2 and 3." I pushed them both their magazines.

"Odessa, I've taken the 9mm rounds I need for my pistol."I patted under my arm where my holster hung, then continued. "You okay with getting 224 rounds of whats left? I was going to put the rest of it in the gun bag."

After I had sorted through the ammunition last night, I had put all of the guns back into the bag. I threw the flare on top now, and the 3 AK mags and the HK91 magazines. "Hope everybody is okay with the ammunition arrangements. No use pissing off the new group." I thought to myself. Turning back to the group, I asked "What do we want to do with the 11 grenades, Odessa's incendiaries, and that block of what I am guessing is C4? We could give them to the people who are gonna' be up front the most, or evenly divide them, or..." I left the question hanging, uncertain how they normally operated with their heavier weapons.

 

Odessa approached me as i sat on the small concrete "porch" next to the rails. I greeted her and had a small conversation while she made some cofee. I accepted it and drank it slowly watching the gently eluminated tunnel going into the darkness. With peace and a sense of quite. I then accepted the rounds, "I have 4 mags." i concluded.

I havent slept much. Actually i havent slept at all. I didnt want to. Nor did i physically need to. Suprisingly i wasnt really tired.

I got up and went back inside the darker room. Where the others were waking up. "You guys get ready, i guess we're leaving soon." i got my bag and took off my jacket, putting it in my bag. So that the cold could wake me up and give me some energy.

I approached Odessa, "Are we ready?"

 

*I took the ammo that Melnikov gave me and got ready to move out. the scientist had not said anything in all this time and was wandering what to do with him. we couldn't leave him alone here, without equipment. he wouldn't last a minute*

'I'm ready, however, what are we gonna do with our daredevil scientist guys? we can't leave him here, and, if I'm honest, I don't fancy the idea of taking him with us, I don't trust him, but we can't keep an eye on him all the time either, so, any suggestions?'

 

"If you don't trust me then please leave me."
Was all I said.

 

Yes, I did also see that, and I actually literally laughed out loud when I read it

I'll get up my next post later on when I get back in a couple o' hours btw.

 

*I looked at the scientist while I debated how to answer that*

'you should know the reason why I don't trust you. you came into our group guns blazing, throwing our carefully planned stealth run on the surface out the window, and put in us in a lot of danger. agreed you saved us from the deamon and you didn't know why we were on the surface or what our plans were. but then you kept insisting on us going to D-2, without giving a logical explanation as to why. and you just kept on rambling and contradictng yourself about what happened at the station you want us to save, and little more' I said without loosing a hearbeat.

'now, if you tell us what you really need from us, and are honest and make sense, I will reconsider my position. I can see you are not a bad person, perhaps a bit impulsive, and you certainly do things without thinking first. this is an extremley dangerous journey, and I have no time to babysit green ones. prove your worth. that's all I have to say, personally, since I do not know what the rest of the group think' I took a deep breath and continued talking

'I only speak for myself, and no-one else. decisions are taken democratically here, and if the guys decide to let you join us, I'll abide by their decision. the fact that this is my mission we are carrying out doens't mean that I'm the boss or anything like that. contrary to what you might think, I'm not a cold hearted bitch. If we had to leave you here on your own, I would be blaming myself forever if anything happend to you. and your name as well would be a good start. I cannot be calling you 'the scientist' forever, now can I?' I said to him mellowing a bit and with the hint of a smile in my lips.

 

As Zhenya had four magazines for his Compact G36, I handed him one of my five, so that we both had five each. I was about to cold-heartedly say that I would vote to leave the Daredevil be, but as Odessa dealt nicely with the situation and changed her tone, I restrained myself.
"All the explosives are belonging to Odessa I believe, so the call is up to her, but I suggest that we evenly hand out some of the grenades, for the extra power", I suggested.

 

Im planning on introducing my character within the next few pages. Can someone give me an update on the setting of the current scene? Thanks.

 

"nlw that your paying attention I can tell you the whole story" I said witg a smile.
"pleSe sit down" I said preparing to tell tge long story
lurkers there is a charecter thread to introduce your person.

 

Already did. I meant I was wondering what is the setting so I can have my character show up.

 

sounds like you guys are going on a mission to get this guy out need some help?I asked stepping out of the shadows

 

dang it steve we are in middle of a closed off tunnel lol

 

woops

 

Steve, I suggest you read the new "Roleplay Help/Rules" You'll have to get to know where we are and you got to know how you are able to get close up to us. You need to know where you are.

I Hate Lurkers, this is a copy of what I had written earlier on page eight. A good summary of the mission:

With a gloomy voice, still looking at the fire, I answered Melkov. "The explosion on the surface a few minutes ago.... It was because of some Nazis. There is a Nazi member, an officer if you like, named Glock who wants Odessa's head after some unfinished business. As the true members of this group that we are, we defended Odessa when Glock sent some men to assassinate her. At first, it did not seem like a big deal. But this 'Glock' seems to know where everyone is at any time, and he has kept sending Nazis on Nazis after us. After what we did to the first Nazis who tried to assassinate Odessa during our presence.

We cannot let this happen much longer. There is only one way to stop Glock, and that is to find him and kill him. The Northern part of the Hansa ring between Prospekt Mira, which is where we travelled from, and Novoslobodskaya, is closed. We have taken a way around via the surface, to get to Tsvetnoi Bulvar, where he is rumored to be stationed. Recent rumor, though, says that he has moved from Tsvetnoi Bulvar to the South-Eastern part of the Nazis' home station, named Tverskaya, which is positioned just south of Tsvetnoi Bulvar. We are travelling to Tsvetnoi to find Glock. If he is not there, we will most likely travel further on to Tverskaya", I said before I took a little moment to breathe.

"If we were to go to Tverskaya via the metro, we would have to first fight our way through Chekhovskaya. By the time we would make it to Tverskaya, we would have the population of Pushkinskaya after us, and we would be trapped in the middle of a firefight with Nazis on both sides. That would be close to impossible. It would be a death-trap. That is why we will go via the surface. I have heard strange rumors about some unusual mutant there. Some says it's one, some says it's several of it. Some say it's the mutant of a ranger, other say it's a mutant-ghost. Either way, it is just rumors. Rumors spread fast in the metro. That is probably why Glock moved from Tsvetnoi to Tverskaya; He had heard of our journey to get him, and decided to move to a safer location. That is, if he did so in the first place. We cannot know for sure until we get to Tsvetnoi", I finished.

-NOTE-: The text above is not In-Character; I just posted it in not-red for Lurker-hater to be able to read it easier. -NOTE-

I could not help it to plant my face in my palm. "Scientist, we are not in the situation to sit down and let you tell us this story now. It is too late for that. We will have to go through another time. That is, if you plan to join us. I really cannot tell wether you are suited to join do so either. Nonetheless, we are packing and leaving in five minutes", I said before I poured down the last coffee and put my cup in my backpack.

 

Alright. Thanks.

 

We're in a sealed and shut service room between some sewer pipe systems and a tunnel, below Savelovskaya and Dmitrovskaya, if I'm correct. North of the Hansa Ring.

hmm. how sealed are we talking?

 

A little service room with two steel door entrances, shut and locked tightly.

 

Yuri's grip around my neck grows tighter. He tugs at my collar until I respond.

"What?" I blurt out in stubbornness.

His little hand just motions behind me. I sigh and reluctantly turn around. Down the road smoke leaves a manhole cover. I muttured some sinful words to myself before proceeding down the road. Upon approaching the manhole I crouch down. Using the bayonet as a jack, I remove the manhole cover. There is a hiatus in my process. I rethink if whether or not this is a good idea. Yuri just squeezes me again.

"Alright. Alright. I'm going ... Jeez." I replied as I toss my legs into the darkness of the Metro.

Gravity does the rest and I drop into the unfamiliar sewer tunnel below. Smoke leaves a vent along the bottom of a nearby wall. I tap Yuri's left foot with my hand and he releases from my back. I move closer to investigate the source of the smoke. Leaning the rifle against the sewer wall, I tear the grate from the hole and crawl inside. My belly scrapes against the vent's cold steel touch. My hand wraps around the grip of my revolver. I yank it from my chest before proceeding further into the smoke filled vent. At a crossroads there is yet another hiatus in my process. Though I have the chance to turn back I continue through the vent. I close the distance between yet another grate and myself. I begin to hear voices murmuring back and forth as I draw further to the source of the thick black pollunant. Talk of surface and Tverskaya echo in my ears. Joyful laughs and bickers drift in the background. A fire, the source of my curiousity, crackles nearby. Stopping just before the grate, I peer into the room of what appears to be a group of heavily armed stalkers resting up. Not wanting any trouble and now knowing the source of the smoke I back up. Though as caustiously as I came in. My foot smacks against a pole on the side of the vent. There's the sound of metal scratching against itself. Gravity betrays me as the vent tilts fowards and I inadvertently plunge throught the grate and into the room. I land on my back in front of the fire. Like a flipped over turtle I am helpless and at the mercy of the total strangers before me. Knowing the Metro's reputation, thats just great.

 

I carefully inserted six of the magazines in my vest pouches, and put the last two mags in my backpack. Just as I had finished, Wojcie kneeled into a firing position. I didn't know what the danger was, but if Wojcie did it, there usually was a damn good reason for it. Thus I took up a firing position, and a stranger stumbled in. To our luck he landed on his back, and I decided it would be better to interrogate him, seeing how helpless he was. I bowed down over the stranger, and I noticed he was only a teenager. What would a teenager be doing on the dangerous surface? Was he alone? A lot of questions whirled through my mind as I lifted him up. "Ok, if you cooperate and answer our questions satisfactory, we will consider letting you live." I told as I forced his upper body towards the wall, and destabilized his legs, so he couldn't move without falling. "Who sent you?" was my first question.
