[b]There was a knocking at the doors of the Dojo. Wasn’t someone in Dojoville, wasn’t some new recruit, it was a familiar face to some. It was the daughter of one of the NCR’s Rangers, Jamie Grant. She had been given order that her father, Alexander Grant, had been killed. She wasn’t aware how, she just received a radio transmission with a message and an order. To come back and take care of Grant’s children. So exactly that she would do.
Jamie wasn’t a very tall person like her father, no she was only a little over five and a half feet tall. She wore green combat armor, pistols and knives strapped to her belt. She had long, black hair, but one side of her head lacked it entirely. And the reason was pretty evident, there was a massive scar from a bullet on the left side of her head. She had a rather somber look on her pale face, banging on the door of the Dojo.[/b]
[spoiler]Open. I know it’s bad, just got bored and decided to put something out.[/spoiler]

"That would honestly work out more than me trying to negotiate things with you. Though I'm still offering double the caps and triple the men, and.. perhaps, this little dinner so we can get to know each other, depending on how quickly the creature arrives to my custody."
-
“I can get it here in about six hours, depending on if you get a baby or not. Adults will take a bit more time. And by a bit I mean about a week. We have to catch it and train it and make it non-aggressive before we turn it over, then you can do whatever the hell you want with it.”
-
"I'll double the already doubled payment if you get it to me before Christmas. Thirty-two thousand fuсking caps, gal." [i]A Christmas present for her cause. Pandora genuinely wanted to see the expression on their faces when she arrived with a Deathclaw.[/i] "What about those.. Cazador things? Any deals on those too?"
-
"You.. captured things in the Mojave? Oh, well, that's.. amazing. Could you tell me about the Deathclaws, perhaps? Maybe what you sell them for, too?" [i]Pandora had.. access, at least hopefully, to actually acquiring the usual payment of cash throughout her own capabilities and the Valravyn. Though it seemed like the bill didn't run the world anymore - Pan would have to rely on cash yet, else she's have to acquire other means of payment.[/i] [i]Not like she'd give up on a Deathclaw, though.[/i]

"You've come a long way from your shy self..." Bedlam and Panta could be heard through the door. The two of them seemed to be getting along despite the recent death of Grant, smiling and even laughing a little. "Oh right, I should actually let her in..." The door suddenly opened, Bedlam standing right behind it with his now blue eyes. He extended a hand to Jamie, a friendly smile on his face. "Hello, Jamie. It's nice to see you again." "H-Hi!" Panta smiled and waved from behind Bedlam.
-
[b]Jamie had a wide smile on her face, looking almost manic. In reality, she was just hopped up on a ton of drugs. She walked right over to Bedlam and Panta, bringing them both in for a tight hug.[/b] “‘Sup guys?! Guess who’s basically your mom now? Well, I’m basically Panta’s mom for now. I dunno how guys work, Bedlam, but I’m sure you’ll be okay. I’m here for you guys!” [b]She looked absolutely crazy. Perhaps it wasn’t the best caretaker for them.[/b] “Oh! But where are my manners? It’s great to see you guys!”
-
Bedlam and Panta glance over at each other and then back to Jamie, with weirded out smiles. "Y-Yeah, great to see you too." Panta said, nervously laughing. ""Are you...okay? You seem a lil...very off." Bedlam added, a bit worried about this woman trying to be Panta's new adopted mother.
-
“Pfft! I’m alright! Well, besides the extreme brain damage and pain meds! I’m incapable of feeling any emotion but happiness and anger! Helps when people die! Kinda like what happened yesterday... I’d feel bad for being so happy but I can’t.” [b]She lets go of them both, smiling wildly.[/b] “You guys buried his body yet? Or were you waiting for me to get here?”
-
Bedlam's smile faded a little at Jamie's response, even more worried now. "Y-Yeah, we can talk about that later. Are you sure you're fit to try and take care of Panta? I think you need help, Jamie." Panta just stood there, looking back and forth between Jamie and Bedlam.
-
“Bedlam, I’m a certified doctor by the Followers of the Apocalypse and saved hundreds of lives through my service as a medic in the NCR. While I was on leave, I took care of my fellow soldier’s children. I think I can handle it. Besides, no amount of help solves missing a chunk of your frontal lobe, now does it?” [b]Jamie keeps smiling at Bedlam, gesturing towards the huge scare covering half her scalp.[/b]
-
"Well, technically someone could heal it and....Nah, you're too old. I doubt your brain would be able to heal itself like Panta's would." He shook his head and chuckled. "That's off topic...sorry. I'm very protective of my friends so I just want to make sure Panta will be okay with you. I can't watch over her 24/7." "I don't need to be watched constantly..." Panta crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes at Bedlam.
-
“The girl’s right, Bedlam. You’re what, fourteen? Dad kept me updated about you, Panta. And Bedlam, he told me about you too. I was specifically told to take care of both of you best I could, so that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. Said it about Traci too, but I have no clue where she is or could be.” [b]She leans over, and hugs Bedlam.[/b] “You don’t have to worry about a single thing, alright?”
-
He sighed and hugged back. "Yeah, alright. Thank you, Jamie. I'm over thinking and worrying too much." "Fifteen! And thank you for siding with me." Panta giggled before gasping, just realizing something. "Oh, right! Traci! Where is she? She doesn't know, does she?" Bedlam let go of Jamie and took a step back, sighing again. "Yeah, I'll have to find her. She's probably out fighting with Freya still."
-
“Maybe wait just a bit to let Traci know. From what I know about her, her emotions are a little more... Extreme. How about... We go do something? If Traci’s off with somebody else, how about us three go do something we we can learn more about each other? Well, more like so you guys can learn more about me. I know plenty about you guys from dad.”
-
Panta quickly nods in agreement, loving the idea of getting out of the house and spending time with both Jamie and Bedlam. "Sounds great!" Bedlam smiled at Panta's excitement, seeing her smile helped him keep back the more sad thoughts about the recent death. "Well, if she's into it then so am I. Not sure what Grant told you, but I bet this'll still be a learning experience for all of us. Hearing about someone and actually meeting them are very different."
-
“Exactly! Just... I’ll be real with you guys for a second. How I do things is probably a lot different than how Grant did. But I don’t want you to be afraid to come to me if some sh- crap goes down, alright?” [b]Jamie gets an empathetic look on her face.[/b]
-
"We won't be afraid to, Jamie. You're a very likable and friendly person after all." Bedlam replied, giving Jamie a friendly smile. "Yeah, you're like a big sister!" Panta added.
-
“Panta, that’s exactly what I am. Oldest of the bunch here, I’m pretty sure. But... I have a question. Bedlam, did Grant ever straight-up adopt you or did it just kinda happen? He never told me.”
-
He sighed at the question. "Technically he never really adopted me, no. Who cares if there are legal papers though? We're still family."
-
“I was just wondering if you were actually under his name or not. He has a habit of not filling out papers, you see.” [b]Jamie looks down at her radio, like she expects someone to contact her.[/b] “He was always really forgetful. But that just comes with old age.”
-
Edited by Stitch: 12/14/2017 3:57:17 AM"Yeah, I guess so." Bedlam shrugged. "Let's get going, eh?" "What about the cupcakes?" "Oh, right. Jamie, I-" "WE." "We baked some cupcakes for all of us to eat to celebrate your arrival."
-
“Oh, really? Thanks, guys! Can’t wait to finally actually get to know you guys! It’s been a real long time since I’ve see anybody from my family at all, let alone a sister and a brother! I can tell we are going to get along juuuuust fine. Can you guys help me get my stuff before we head out, though? It’s all loaded on the truck outside.”
-
"Yeah." "Yeah!" The two said simultaneously, Panta having a bit more enthusiasm.
-
“Alright, nice! Lead the way to the cupcakes, though. That first. Mostly because I haven’t had anything not from a can for almost a year.”
-
The two kids chuckled before leading Jamie into the kitchen where a plate of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes waited for them. "They should be good, but considering Panta helped...eh..." "Hey!"
