"Hmm. I wouldn't know, to be honest. All my life, I've been training with mom and dad. Dad wanted me to head here, of all places...
Anything I should know? Before I try to become a member?"

"First off, don't kill another member. They'd probably rip your throats out and shove it up your ass. Second, for the love of god, don't piss any of the others members off. Speaking personally, they'd wreck my shit. Got a feeling it'd be different for you, though, being Orenstein's kid and all. Also, there's this place off to the west, called the Twilight. Don't go there. Ever."

"Well then...that sounds absolutely grand..." [i]Olivia turned to look into the direction of the Twilight, sighing at the sight of its corruption. One could tell that she disliked it in some manner, but she didn't show any hatred. She began moving once more, still following Grant while tightening her grip on the body of the child in her armored arms.[/i]

[b]We had almost made it to the top of the stairs, when I saw one of them. Those bastards in crimson. He was all alone. It was my chance to kill one of them without the others even knowing I was here. I pulled my revolver from my hip, and took aim at the Legionnaire's head. I put my finger on the trigger, but stopped. If one of the others happened by while I was shooting the guy, they'd kill me and possibly Olivia and the kid, too. I sighed as I put my revolver away.[/b] "Come on. Let's hurry past these assholes."
-
[i]Only staring at Grant, Olivia looked as if she was ready to panic, but still followed the Ranger while only staring at the Legionnaire he was about to shoot. She had never had the drive to kill someone before, so she didn't know what to think. To make matters worse, she didn't even understand why Grant wanted to kill the man. It just didn't make sense.[/i] "Who was that? And...why did you nearly kill them?"
-
"That was a Legionnaire from Caesar's Legion. Bastards have killed to many good NCR troops and civilians on the grounds of 'They're the enemy, let's slaughter them'. They also kill anybody they feel like, lash people to crosses, torture them, whatever the hell they feel like doing. Normally, I'd kill the bastard, but I don't wanna risk yours or the kid's life. I've already lost good people to the Legion, no more."
-
[i]Olivia's grip suddenly tightened on the bleeding boy's body, her voice becoming low and venomous, as if a new hatred for the Legion had brewed up within her suddenly.[/i] "...I understand completely. Let's...lets just get going."
-
"Don't worry about them. They aren't allowed to kill us, but nothing says we can't kill them. Only the Legate and the Cursor are protected. Rest we get free reign."
-
"K..." [i]Olivia went silent, still following Ranger Grant and carrying the dying child.[/i]
