As Lazlo arrived at the meeting place he was surprised to find, a young woman greeting him, "Yes I am Doctor Lazlo bell" surprise could be heard in his voice he looked over the young lady wondering how it was she came to become leader of a city, he slowly walked up to the girl.
"Don't smoke" Lazlo said as he pulled the cigarette out of the girls mouth and placing it in his, he inhaled depleting most of the joint, he took the cigarette out of his mouth and spoke again "So I assume your the leader of the city I spoke with?"
The good doctor still was not completely convinced this girl could be the leader of such a place he imagined the city must be fairly minor, and most of those who lived there were likely no more than 20 years old, other than ghouls she mentioned.

She nodded "Yes, my name is Eris. The city once belonged to my parents...." she sighed softly "I'm the leader now. And yes I am quite young, only 18." she nodded. 'And I know your a doctor, but smoking helps me relieve stress." she said softly.
She rubbed her bleeding arm nervously. "It's nice to meet you. I do have some leather armor for you, it would probably be a good idea to wear. We also have a certain type of outfit we wear if that would be ok with you?" she chewed her lip.

"Cigarettes are stressors you'll feel better without it in the long run, the only reason I smoke is because i'm a ghoul and they strengthen my lung cancer, which I theorize that cancers can make ghouls more healthy...It's all in my book" he looked at the girl wondering why she didn't ask him why he smoked, in any case he grabbed out his book on ghoul anatomy, which was essentially just a bunch of papers he sloppily stapled together and handed it to the girl.
Lazlo Spotted the girls wound, and sprung into action without saying anything he grabbed the girls arm and injected her with med-ex he then grabbed a stick and his suture kit, and then spoke "Bite down on this" he handed her the stick and began to carefully stitch up her arm.
"Now normally I would say we should wait until this heals to move but It would do you know good to stay outside in this condition."

She shook her head for the stick "I don't need it, I am no stranger to pain." she barely winced as he fixed her arm. "Just some nasty super mutants, but don't worry Mallsterdam isn't too far from here." she looked at his ghoul anatomy "This is very interesting, probably took a lot of research huh?"
She watched as he finished up with her arm "Thanks." she smiled. She adjusted her guns as she stood there. 'Well, you ready? I promise it isn't too bad of a city." she chuckled softly.

He was satisfied that the girl was not struggling to much in reaction to the pain Lazlo figured she was either stupid, brave, or trying not to show weakness, "Mallsterdam aye?... sounds nice" Lazlo stated still fixated on the young woman's arm.
Lazlo Loosened the sling that was securing his hunting rifle and then clutched it tightly in his hands, and then responded "Ready..." Lazlo paused for a second to only break the silence once more "By the way I don't think I ever got your name."

"Oh I'm sorry, it's Eris." she replied. "just follow me and we should be back within a few hours." She stretched herinjured arm a bit and began to walk back towards D.C.
After a few hours they made it just outside Mallsterdam "Um...we will have to put your weapons in our armory. It's protocol." she said waiting for him to start protesting. She headed towards the front doors. She sighed softly hoping they would be pleased with her.

The pair had returned within a matters of hours and the journey had gone off without a hitch though Lazlo was faced with something he was not expecting, Although he understood why a city would want to take away guns from someone they don't know, though he grew suspicious, while thinking he just stood at the gate to the city not saying a word.
Lazlo's head was buzzing with questions it was not typical for a city to ask new members to give up their arms, seeing as most people in the town would be armed anyway nobody would try anything, uneasily Lazlo held his rifle out in front of himself, and then un-holstered his 10 mm pistol he stared at the engraving "Charlotte" while Eris took his rifle, he slowly handed over his pistol and as she gripped it he held firm and looked her straight in the eye, and then spoke "You take care of this"

She nodded "Would it make you feel better if I put them in my room, no one goes in there except me." she looked straight at him as she say this taking his weapons gently. "Oh before I forget..." she handed him a purple dyed male parkstroller outfit "Purple is just ho we identify. I hope it will fit okay."
She looked over his pistol "Charlotte?" she mumbled. She felt that she shouldn't ask though. "well are you ready to go in to your new home?"

"That would put me at ease thank you" Lazlo said in response to Eris's kind gesture his face stretched as he attempted a smile.
Lazlo looked down at the clothes confused it wasn't something he typically wore, and he wasn't particularly happy with it, he grabbed the clothing and said [EAC117]"This may be fine for when I am outside of my clinic but what I really need are some scrubs and maybe a lab coat, for when I am working.
He looked down at his own mercenary leather armor, thinking to himself, and then voicing his thoughts "Although I've been wearing this for every almost every surgery I've performed for the last 200 some years."
He then told her "I am ready to see the inside of the city now"

"Okay that is fine. Just after hours wear this please." she said politely and nodded opening the doors. She stepped inside and gestured for him to enter. She smiled politely.
Placing his guns in her pack carefully and looked around "Most of the citizens will probably be sleeping right now. But, Argo will be up. He is basically family to me. He's been there since my parents passed away." she said softly

Lazlo took the clothes and laughed remembering that he used to to wear similar clothing before the Bombs dropped, he gently put them inside his medic bag and then looked over at Eris as he entered the building he grabbed a smoke and then lit a match but paused looking back at Eris as he asked "Is it okay if I smoke in here?"
He looked at her as she mentioned her parents passing and this Argo person taking care of her, and then spoke "It's good you have someone to take care of you, and I am sorry for your loss, but it's getting late can you direct me to my room and then maybe in the morning you can show me the clinic, unless they are the same place of course"

"You can smoke here and the clinic will be downstairs. Your house can be next to it though." she walked inside and went over to his home. "The fridge is full of food and drink. There is a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. We have clean water here as well." she paused. "I will have your guns in the safe in my room. I do have to situate some beds and such into your clinic, but I will do that tomorrow. I haven't slept since we left, but it will get done at dawn."
Argo walked up to them "Ah you must be Doctor Bell." he said extended his hand. He was a ghoul as well although you could see he wasn't as old as most of the ghouls. "It's nice to meet you." He hugged Eris with his other arm and Eris smiled up fondly at him.

Lazlo was pleased to see where he would be working though he was concerned that his home was next to the clinic, he knew he would be smoking in his home and didn't want the second hand fumes to get into the clinic but he just considered either smoking outside or just being careful about where in his home he smokes and being mindful of open doors and windows.
As the fellow ghoul approached him and held out his hand Lazlo extended his own hand to meet the ghouls, "you've heard of me? Lazlo prodded.
"And may I ask your name?" the good doctor questioned the stranger.

"Yes I have heard of you and my name is Argo." he attempted a smile "I have heard about some of your works, such as trying to figure out the ghoul anatomy." Eris nodded as the two talked. "I will actually be right next to you." he pointed to the door that had Argo wrote across it. "I think you will quite enjoy Mallsterdam, and Eris isn't too bad of a leader if I do say so myself." Eris blushed slightly at that.
"Well I am going to bed, I am tired out." Eris said and slipped away from the two walking upstairs and into her room. It was cornered upstairs. She placed Lazlo's guns in her safe and locked it tight.

Lazlo was happy that some of his works were getting out there into the large world around him, he Looked at Argo and spoke with a pleasant tone "It was a pleasure to meet you, I hope to get to work here very soon."
He looked over at where Eris told him his room was, he then crushed his lit cigarette between his fingers until it was nothing but ash, and then spoke once again "I'm sure Eris is a fine leader, but it's getting late thank you for allowing me to stay here you have been very kind, hopefully I will see you in the morning"
Lazlo walked through the threshold of his new home, he looked around at all of the features, although it wasn't very fancy he was still happy he grabbed a Holodisk from his medical bag, and put it on a desk in his room, and turned it on, a voice began to ring out from the disk, "...Good morning america this is your president John Henry Eden..."
Lazlo had recorded almost every speech President Eden gave before raven rock was destroyed and he listened to them often, he then went through his bag removing all of the packs of cigarettes and putting them in the desk drawer he then laid down in his bed while listening to some of the speeches on the tapes and even some of the patriotic songs played as well, after an hour he turned the tape off and then went too sleep.
