CptHatterr Posted October 23, 2024 Report Posted October 23, 2024 (edited) Quote BACK STORY Shaun "Toast" Myers, and Audrey "Toasty Myers" The pair originate from a deep organized crime background both previously being in a gang in Los santos. The pair happened to meet each other before Audrey had any affiliation with the group. When Audrey happened to show up at the Casino she ran into Toast. They quickly introduced themselves but Toast noticed something about her. The look in her eyes. It was oddly familiar. Not being able to connect the dots at the time he got her number and the relationship began to develop. Little did they both know they came to the city escaping the same thing.... The traveling circus. As their relationship started growing into something more they started connecting the dots that they actually met way before the gang. They encountered each other because of the circus and the tyrannical ring master. Toast being brought in as a jester of sorts for their amusement and Audrey being forcibly trapped there. After realizing all this, and what the ringmaster truly planned for them, they decided it's time to spread their wings and right the wrongs of the past. For weeks they discussed starting something of their own. The way they think a group should be led and structured... something but a little more.. funny. They called this new band of marry freaks the last Grin aka The Grin. The name comes from the last thing you will see if you ever encounter this crew.

CptHatterr Posted October 24, 2024 Author Report Posted October 24, 2024 Quote It’s the beginning of a new beautiful day in Los Santos since Toast and Audrey established The Grin. Eager to grow in numbers they look to the ones closest to them. Audrey had been trying for days to convince Toast to let her best friend Briana into the organization. Toast had finally agreed. Audrey being excited immediately contacted Briana and brought her to their apartment to talk to her about The Grin and offer her a place in the circus. With the rumors going around about her being a confidential informant during her time as DOC. With underlying doubts, they had to be sure. So, Audrey and Toast had to give Briana a task that would really prove to them that they can trust her. If she accomplishes what was given to her, it can change her life forever. 5
CptHatterr Posted October 25, 2024 Author Report Posted October 25, 2024 Quote Eager with something to prove Brianna Star starts the day with Audrey & Toast’s task front and center in her mind. “How can I prove I’m not a C.I” Bri thinks. And then it clicked “I can take a hostage and make them play one of our games & and If that doesn’t work I’ll call the police on myself and demand a ransom it’s perfect” she says. So just like that Bri ran off to complete her task with a grin on her face! First step was to convince her gf to help, once that was done it was finding a worthy target and making sure the understood they wouldn’t be hurt it’s just so Bri would go to jail. Later in the day Bri connects with Audrey & Toast to report on the success of her task and to provide proof it was completed. Toast is very pleased by this so much so he feels he can trust Bri more and after some discussion with Audrey Bri is offered a promotion to harlequin “high command”. Tears of joy start running down Bri’s face as she knows she’s finally found her family and that everything’s about to change! 4
CptHatterr Posted October 28, 2024 Author Report Posted October 28, 2024 (edited) Quote With everything coming together inside the circus the group needs to start making connections outside of the circus. Briana worked really hard on making connections to the other gangs in Los Santos. Well, that hard work paid off. Audrey got a phone call from an unknown number, it was Chris Pine high command of Alliance. A last minute meeting was set up at the observatory. Once they met up Toast explained what The Last Grin was all about. Alliance was happy with how the interaction went and a peaceful alliance was formed. Before they left Chris took Toast to the side and warned him of Briana and the things being said about her. Toast reassured Chris explaining everything he had Briana do to prove herself. Before the conversation ended Toast said, "If you ever need us don't hesitate to call." Chris agreed and said the same thing to Toast. It was a quick meeting but it was a big step for the circus. Right after the meeting with Alliance the circus headed to their planned meeting with the Water Felons. Audrey mentioned Robert Beef, her "Peepaw" was high command in The Last Grin. Which started the meeting off really strong as the Water Felons truly trusted Robert. They agreed to do chops for the water felons in exchange for guns. A business agreement was made! Another alliance for The Last Grin was made. It truly was a pursuit of diplomacy. After the meetings were finished the four of them started robbing stores to get their money up for the HQ. All three stores were smooth and successful. Toast truly felt like things were coming together, and expressed, "I am so very proud of all of you. Your hard work is paying off." Things were really looking up for The Last Grin. Edited October 28, 2024 by CptHatterr Fixing font 4 1
CptHatterr Posted October 29, 2024 Author Report Posted October 29, 2024 (edited) Quote Another great start to a day in Los Santos for The Last Grin. The group of four made their way to Bayview little did they know they would have a meeting with a High Command of a The Shadows, Billy. They came to a business agreement with them, bring them packed money and they'll provide throwaways and small armed guns for us. Audrey and Toast agreed any agreement is good for the circus. Once they finished that meeting the group started discussing a solution to their HQ. Briana brought up the idea of renting out a place and had a direct connection! She called Redacted up and ten minutes later they were looking at their potential HQ. It wasn't huge, but it was perfect for now. Toast, Audrey, Briana, and Robert loved it. It felt good to be making so much progress like this. They all agreed to take up the offer on this rental and signed the lease! The four of them were overjoyed and extremely proud of each other. The Last Grin continues to make great progress, and they're only just getting started. Edited October 29, 2024 by CptHatterr 4 1
