The party at the Burning Mutineer’s was what you would have expected. Local fire dancers were moving and displaying their art in the front. There were local food trucks, beer from local brewers, and women from all over the county present. Indian Wells was past Its former glory but still was a haven for misfits. Smiling as he watched the chaos Robert’s right tattooed hand was gripping a beer. His other arm was around Britt.<br/><br/><br/><br/>“This is my kind of crowd,” he said as he gave her peck on the cheek, the bristles of his beard gently tore at her skin.  Taking another pull of his beverage he felt a tap on his shoulder, the same type of tap he used to get back when he was a prospect.<br/><br/><br/><br/>“It’s time Robo, get the fucking jacket and find the girl,” Banshee said, she didn’t do much to acknowledge Britt which was usual, Banshee didn’t give a fuck about floozy’s that fucked with her people.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Taking a final pull, he handed his beer to Britt. “Club business we gotta patch in the newbie I’ll be back in a second.” With that he stood up and stretched, his ribs were still sore from that last fight. He took a baseball bat to his torso but the stack of cash in his wallet made it worth it.<br/><br/>It didn’t take long to find the paper wrapped parcel that is going to be her jacket. Pushing his way through the rest of the crowd he found her. Smirking he watched as she was taking out the trash from behind the bar. “Yeah that’s so twisted shit the pres and the vp tend to do on a patch night,” he murmured to himself thoughtfully before he barked at Maddie.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="1298" data-username="@Teneo Lupum" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/1298/">@Teneo Lupum</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>“AYE! NOOBIE DROP THAT SHIT AND GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE,” his voice boomed past the crowd. Finally, he let out a genuine chuckle and moved his lips closer to her ear, so she could hear over the music. “President and VP want us to meet right now in front of the club meeting room. I don’t got the details but it seemed important,” he said as he pulled away.<br/><br/>Big Pop stood in front of the office. As soon as he saw Robert and Maddie approach he barked to the DJ. “HEY TURN THAT SHIT DOWN, WE GOT CLUB BUSINESS.” The president was smaller than most bikers but he carried with him a very cold no nonsense demeanor. The whole area fell silent as he gave Maddie a disapproving look.<br/><br/>“You’re done girl, take that shit off,” he finally said.<br/><br/>Banshee kept a straight face her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses.<br/><br/>Robert instead moved in tandem with the order from the president. “I’m sorry kid,” he said as he began to remove the jacket.<br/><br/>“A prospect is someone who hangs with the club but ain’t in the club. When you pass you get let go or you get your patch. You no longer get to wear that jacket Maddie,” the President said as the silence continued until finally Robert began to unwrap the parcel. Moving in front of her there was a scent of fresh high quality black leather as the paper revealed a Mutineer jacket with the official patch and no word of prospect in sight. “You had to take that shit off because you made it Maddie welcome to the family,” Robert said, both the VP and the president flanked her and began to help pull her into her new leathers. Robert affectionately gave her a kiss on the forehead. “Welcome to the family Madz, you proved that you have what it takes to ride with us.”<br/><br/><br/><br/>Banshee whispered as the right arm was slipped through. “This is the sign that you no longer walk the straight path. You ride with us through the highway of hell and you accept this patch as your new family.”<br/><br/><br/><br/>Big Pop then whispered as he helped on the other side. “This is to signify that you have thrown away your past and now you accept the club as your present. You will be asked to sacrifice for your brothers and sisters just as they are asked to sacrifice for you. Do you accept your new duties as a fully-fledged Mutineer?”
