Megaton 2300: Post-Apocalyptic Life Simulation RP

Post » Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:15 am

Welcome to Megaton 2300 RP. Perhaps the most lax roleplay thread on the forums. Applications are always open and anyone is welcome to join. :)

**The Premise**

The location: Town of http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Megaton, Capital Wasteland.
Date: Year 2300 AD, roughly 23 years after the events of Fallout 3.

A passing wanderer defused the bomb in the center of town many years ago. Though the layout of the town remains the same, things have changed. Moriarty no longer owns the saloon and has disappeared. Gob the bartender takes care of it in his stead. Nova has not aged well, and thus is no longer in the same line of work. She has taken a fleet of younger, more fresh women to take her place. The town mayor and sheriff is no longer Lucas Simms, but his son Harden Simms. The Church of Atom still lives, though is considered just as inane as ever, however no one is to harm its followers. Maggie has grown to be a graceful woman in her own right and now helps her caretaker Billy Creel who's health is failing him. Sadly, Nathan and Manya Vargas are no longer among the living, but their memory is dearly cherished. Every now and then, a caravan comes to visit the entrance to the city which is still well protected by an elderly Stockholm and Deputy Weld, who's been delivering the same line to newcomers for more than a quarter century. Joining them in case of attack would be an old Jericho, along with the mercenary hired to protect a withered Moira Brown. The common rooms are still bustling, both with new faces and old, as the population of the town grows still.

Upcoming events of interest:

  • Election for Mayor. The choice for Harden to follow his father is a shaky one.
  • The search for Moriarty. He may not be dead, he is sure to reward whoever finds him.
  • Abandoned house for sale. The house that was once occupied by a wanderer is up for sale. Who shall take it?
  • Personel Wanted: People with skills are wanted all over town for various jobs. Who will fill the positions?
  • The Church of Atom is to be dealt with somehow. Many people complain. What is the resolution to this?
  • Raiders threaten to attack the city. Who will stop them? By what means? Or will they join them and watch the city crumble instead?
  • Free houses. Though they may not be the best places to live in the world, they can comfortably fit a family. Is anyone willing?
  • The chem trade is slowing down. Is anyone willing to take over the market and begin selling them once more? Or will they succumb to the pleasures it offers instead? Or perhaps they shall abolish the market completely.

Back-story: Carl grew up following his father everywhere, they spent all their time in the wastes, hunting down evil doers and collecting the bounty on their heads. Every second that wasn’t spent tracking a criminal was time that Carl was taught to shoot. Every plant the pair came across would be documented in the journal his father kept, they would scope out the plants and see whether the wildlife would eat from it, if so they would test it themselves, those safe to eat were documented as such, those that weren’t we’re used as poison or aesthetic. The pair went on living like this for years.

One day, a 17 year old Carl and his father reported back to the Regulator HQ to collect a bounty, they collected a sum of 150 caps and split the cost according to how many ‘notches’ they both had scored. Carl had four, so kept 80 caps. His father had killed three of the band of raiders, so collected the remaining 70 caps. Every visit back to RHQ was spent cleaning and maintaining their guns, telling stories of close encounters with raiders and slavers, and times they ate the wrong plant and spent three days purging their systems. Night after night Carl’s father collected a new bounty, he sat reading it while the two cooked Molerat meat or some other exquisite tasting animal. The nights were filled with stories and laughter. The two carried on like this for another three years, until his father, at the age of 50 was stung by a Radscorpion, on his deathbed he told Carl. “Son, don’t spend your life wandering like your father… Find a place, and dedicate your life to it. We can’t make the world a better place, but you can be that light in the darkness.” These were Ol’ Jones’s last words before the poison took him. The next two years of Carls life, were spent finding that place.

Equipment:
-Weapons- FN FAL Assault rifle, Glock 18, M95 Barrett Sniper Rifle hidden in his shop. An uneven dagger.

Carrying Pouch, caps, bottle of water.

Personality: Can be a great friend if you get to know him. He loves exploring. He does not like showing his face though, because of many scars that are slowly healing are there.

Skills: Good gun mechanic, firearms expert, accurate shooter, but has trouble in close range fights. However, when it comes to melee or brawling, he can stand his ground. He is a great mentor towards his child, and is very protective of his family.
Joey also is usually not afraid of the wasteland.

Occupation: Runs a gun-shop in Megaton called," Joey's Bullets 'n Guns." He also is an explorer, either paid too or not. He accepts mercenary jobs and usually can be seen guarding caravans.

Backstory: Joey was born in the year 2273. He was raised in Rivet City until the age of 16 when he decided to go explore the wasteland. He set out one night and left a note to his parents stating," He was going to the air machine city", better known as Megaton. His journey was quite safe thanks to the Brotherhood of Steel patrols, and he reached Megaton in record time. In Megaton, he tried finding available jobs so he could make some caps. A lady named Rachel and quite young at the age of 15 and her father happened to need a guard for their caravan. Max applied and was given an old FN FAL. He fixed it right up and successfully made sure she reached her destination safely. After this job, she offered even more to him. After a year of working with her, their relationship grew stronger, and eventually when he was 19 and she was 18, their first child was born. They named him Max and eventually settled down in Megaton. Joey opened up a gun-shop with guns he found at an old police station armory. He found a sniper he used for hunting game and keeping raiders away. He also found a pistol for a concealment weapon. Also, military Desert Ranger armor and helmet was found in an abandoned truck parked near the station, so he started wearing it since it was warm and offered protection while he explored. One day when exploring an old factory, raiders captured him and slowly cut at his arms and used hot steel to burn at his face. BoS paladins luckily were in the area and killed the raiders before any serious damaged happened to Joey. However, scars were all over his face and arms. After 8 years of healing and medicine, his arms looked brand new. His face however was taking a little bit more time to do so. He decided to wear his scavenged helmet all the time in public, except with his family. He has thought about someday showing his closets friends, but that has yet to come.

Rachel-26 as of 2300. Brunette hair. Almost 27.

Max-Brown medium hair. 8 as of 2300. Very agile and helps around the shop. Is shy sometimes, but loves his dad and usually follows him when he is not with his loved mother.

Name: Chester 'Doc' Reynolds

Age: 45

six: Male

Race: Black - Scottish

Hair: Buzz-cut. Dark brown, but speckled with white and gray. Detached goatee.

Eyes: Brown

Height: 5 '11

Weight: 170lbs

Other aesthetic attributes: Average height and build, though he has a bit of a beer belly, he is otherwise athletic. Short hair. Slightly wrinkled face from age.

Clothing: Plain white shirt, almost always smeared with bloodstains and dark brown cargo pants with black boots. Dons a lab coat when practicing. Always wears glasses.

General appearance: Like this, more or less. Except hair more like this.

Equipment: Tokarev T-33 that seldom leaves it's holster. Pack of cigarettes. Lighter. Pouch of caps. Satchel of surgical equipment. Utility knife.

Personality: "Doc" as everyone has come to call him is a low tempered, heavy drinking old coot. Doesn't have any room for manners and always speaks his mind. Though he shows no physical prowess, or combat capabilities he holds his own in a verbal argument as if he were the most feared man in the Wasteland. He does however have a soft side, and would be willing to help anyone in need. He would not show it though. His kind acts would be masked by bitter words and a begrudging attitude. Foul-mouthed and ill-mannered would be the best way to describe him in most cases. His idea of a perfect day would be one in which no patients show up, so he could sleep in through half the day, then spend the rest smoking, drinking, and flirting with women at the saloon before passing out in a drunken stupor. He speaks with a thick Scottish accent, and when he is drunk, he is utterly incomprehensible.

Skills: Expert doctor and scientist. Skilled repairman if required, though not the best. Can shoot to save his life, but no more. Though he may get into petty squabbles every now and then, he detests violence as it means more work for him.

Occupation: Doctor - Resides and works in the Clinic left by the towns former "Doc".

Backstory: Chester was born and raised in Rivet City. Under the wing of the doctor and scientists there, he learned the tricks of the trade. He was once a very pleasant and mild-mannered man. Ambitious, and passionate about his goal of opening up a large hospital in the DC Ruins to which people would come from all corners of the Wasteland, as well as ghouls to be cured somehow. Sadly, this dream remained as nothing more than just that; a dream. Once of age, he married a lab assistant working with him whom he loved very much and several years later had a child with her. It was a girl. As the years passed, Chester realized that his plans would never come to fruition, so he grew vain and cynical. He took to drink and became violent with his family, to the point where his wife decided to leave him. He sorely regretted this, and hates himself for it. Alone, Chester moved out of the city to spare himself the shame, and thus moved to Megaton where he found a clinic ripe for the plucking. Having no other choice, they appointed him town doctor in exchange for accommodation and caps. If anyone so much as has a scraqe in the town, he is the one they go to. His prices are fair and just, as his only expenses are booze and women.

Relations:

Clarissa Reynolds - Ex-wife - Caucasian female.
Claire Reynolds - Daughter - Mixed race female.

Silas doesn’t trust most of the people he knows but that doesn’t stop him from liking them.

Silas has killed members of the Demons who reveal information about the business and has even killed his own brother, secretly of course, for revealing information.

Six months after the event Charles returned but with a gang of his own, Charles started pushing drugs out like no tomorrow and at a smaller price, this lead to Silas initiating war on the gang. A gunfight broke out in the Rivet City marketplace between the two gangs, many were killed but only gang members, a few bystanders were injured. While fleeing the scene Rivet City security ran straight into Silas and many members of the Demons, they immediately opened fire on the Demons, Silas and the Demons fought back and escaped Rivet City. Knowing they would never be allowed to return Silas and the Demons moved to Megaton to start up there criminal empire once again. Silas moved in with his father and set up business in his house.

f8lcobra
Spoiler
Name: Arianna Rose Richardson (Ari)

Age: 28

six: female

Race: African-American

Hair: long, black, braided hair that hangs to the middle of her back. Beads of her native colors cover the last couple inches of her braids. (Red, orange, yellow, green and brown)

Eyes: golden brown, in direct sunlight, they look almost vampirish.

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 130 pounds

Other aesthetic attributes: Ari is very toned, her muscles defined, she has a washboard stomach. Largely due to her work load. Ari does all the heavy lifting for Miora these days, she jogs up and down the catwalks in the early morning before Craterside Supply opens up. The pinky and ring finger on her left hand are crooked, results from not being set properly after dropping some scrap metal on them, fracturing both fingers.

Clothing: during the day, she wears either khaki cargo pants or cutoff shorts (barely covering her rear), and a black or white tight tank top with a bandanna tied around her head. Keeps her braids from interfering in her work.

At night, she has two seductive dresses she alters while working at the saloon as a waitress and prosttute.

General appearance: she looks like Tara from True Blood. Smooth, chocolaty skin, long legs.
http://i.cdn.hbo.com...ason-3-1024.jpg

Equipment: Ari has managed to save up a substantial amount of caps. Ari keeps them locked away, as she lives a rather low maintenance lifestyle. She one day hopes Miora will hand over Craterside Supply to her, for her years of tolerating the woman.

Not leaving Megaton too much, she doesn't have much need for high caliber weapons. She carries a .32 pistol and a switchblade.

She often gets food deducted from her salary at both places of employment.

Personality: pleasant most of the time, mostly while working at Craterside Supply. Ari is standoffish, and rude at times. Though, when it comes to making caps, a seductive nature takes presidence.

Skills: Ari has learned to repair various weapons and merchandise. She can also cook and seduce men out of caps efficiently.

Occupation: Ari works for Miora Brown, tinkering as Miora has done for years. She can repair whatever you bring in the shop, making it better than it was, but not perfect. Ari cooks a mean Iguana too, and does well to satisfy a variety of appetites.

After the shop closes, she has a couple of hours to ready herself for her shift at the saloon. She work there as a waitress and prosttute. She also dabbles in selling Jet and Med-X.

Backstory: When Ari was two years old, her Mother, deathly ill with radiation poisoning, left her to grow up in Little Lamplight. She started tinkering with what little items she could scavenge. As she grew older, she became known as, Scary Ari. Because, as she grew, so did her attitude, and she wasn't afraid to let the other kids know it.

During her time at Lamplight, Ari would fix up the weapons, structures, and barricades. As long as she was busy, Ari wasn't too scary. When the time came, as it always did, she was sent off to Big Town. Big Town was a big disappointment, a bunch of whiny ass people. Though, Ari did meet an old woman, Bittercup. They would talk about Bittercup's past, how she had even made a play for the infamous, Lone wanderer once. When Bittercup succumbed to the afterlife, Ari was left to listen to the residents whine. Though they complained, they rarely, if at all, did anything about it.

To occupy herself, Ari messed with the several incapacitated robots that lay about the town. She managed to salvage a protectron from spare parts of other robotic corpses. Satisfied with her accomplished, she celebrated that night. Ari ended up getting drunk on whiskey and breaking into Ol'Red's Clinic. She stole some Jet and Med-X, and got blew out of her mind. As she stumbled the street, she ranted, not holding anything back she verbally tore her home town a new one. In the early morning, Ari was found passed out between two decrepit houses. The towns folk concluded, from the needle marks in her arm, and the empty Jet inhaler clutched in her hand, that she did indeed break in and steal from Ol'Red. She was ousted from the town, never allowed to return, unless she wanted a bullet in her brain.

That was after spending five years in that dump, twenty three years old and homeless. She wandered with a caravaner named Mike for a short while, repairing things people presented to them. Ari did so for food and a tent, the protection, she had to give up her body for that. It wasn't all bad, she was never lonely. One day, they arrived at Megaton to do some trading with Miora Brown. Ari loved the ingenuity of using old, prewar aircraft husks for building materials. Mike found a couple of pistols of Miora's he was interested in, their condition was poor. Mike asked Ari to take a look at them, Miora offered up her workbench. Within a few minutes, Ari had both pistols working in satisfactory fashion. Miora, pleasantly surprised with the young woman's ability, offered her a job. Ari accepted.

Ari slept in the common house for the first few months while in Megaton. Usually taking a partner there with her for some extra caps. Miora offered her to stay with her at Cratersidean once she felt she could trust Ari. Ari jumped at the chance, and has lived there, helping the aged Miora for the last five years.


Relations: Miora Brown, she's like a mother to Ari.

**Megaton 2300**

A warm summer breeze could be felt, carrying dust and sand along with it through the harsh Wasteland. None of this reached penetrated the high, well reinforced walls. The early morning sun peeked over the horizon and it's rays gleamed off of the metal walkways that the town was comprised of. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the small town slowly came to life. In addition to the gentle sway of the wind, the bustle of footsteps clanging upon wrought iron sheets could be heard throughout as people made their ways to whatever destination they had. Be it to their place of work, or simply down to the Brass Lantern for breakfast. As time passed, more and more sounds could be heard. The preaching of Church of Atom Confessors, the laughter of playing children, the mooing of Brahmin, the sounds of caravan traders announcing their arrival, and the echo of distant gunshots. The year is 2300 AD. This is Megaton.

Chester 'Doc' Reynolds - Clinic

The Doc awoke with a start at the sound of a loud thud and a sudden pain in his hip. "Argh!" he cried, wincing. As he rubbed his eyes, he sat up, only to realize that the sound and pain both came as a result of him falling out of his bunk.

Not again. he grimaced to himself, as he stumbled to his feet, covering his eyes from the rays of light that seeped in through the shutters of the clinic window.

"Doc, are you okay?!" chirped a high pitched voice. It was Eduardo, Doc's young Hispanic assistant.

"Yeah, yeah I'm alive. Don't celebrate yet." the old man grunted in his thick Scottish accent, trudging over to the dresser in his quarters and throwing on some clothes. His usual white T shirt and cargo pants. Once finished, he shuffled over to his bedside table to don his spectacles.

I need a drink. He thought to himself as they slipped into place, and he headed to the saloon as there were no patients as of yet.

"Tend to whoever comes in," he yawned, scratching his nether regions as he swung the door open to face the warm air, "Unless their brains are leaking out of their ears, fix them up yourself. Otherwise, call me." he ordered the nervous yet loyal assistant.

***

Slowly making his way up the metal catwalks, several settlers greeted him.

"Heya Doc!" one said.

"Good mornin' Doctor!" smiled another.

Chester merely grunted and nodded as they passed, his mind on the drink he was about to start the day with. As he entered the crowded and smoke filled saloon, his ears were greeted by the welcoming of the bartender Gob, followed by the music that played on the radio.

When will they get rid of that noise box? the Doc grumbled to himself silently as he took a seat, pulling out a cigarette, and lit it.

"Looks like you're up early Doc. It's only 2 PM! What'll ya have?" croaked the Ghoul bartender.

"Gimme a whiskey." he replied curtly.

"So early?" Gob chuckled.

The old man blew his smoke out in the Ghoul's face. That would suffice as an answer.

OOC: Bad Internet connection. May be some problems with post.

A brown blanket withers in the wasteland's heat and breezes. Under this blanket a long barrel suddenly reveals itself.

"It's turned around! Now is are chance," whispered young Max to his father.

Joey Ziven slowly placed a single .50 caliber round in his sniper rifle and focused the sights on the Bighorner's head. Bighorner's amazed Joey, for their massive size and that they don't attack you on sight like molerats. They also made a good dinner.

The bare wasteland suddenly is filled with a loud boom. The massive bullet ejects out of the gun as Joey pulls the trigger. He watches as the munching Bighorn's head explodes into a watermelon.

"Headshot Max," Joey said silently. "Let's go!"

The brown blanket it thrown off the two as they get up from their "sniper's nest." It flies away in the wind as they approach the Bighorn. "You get the legs and i'll handle the main course!"

Joey began slowly cutting the meat and skin off around the stomach as Max peeled the leg's meat off. They carefully carved around the bottom skin to avoid the intestines from pouring out and irradiating the meat.

After ten minutes of gathering meat, Joey picks his son up and places him on his shoulders and walks to Megaton with dinner, plus a little more. At the gate, he waves his hand at the sniper perched above him. The door suddenly opens.

Joey starts walking in this circled society and stops at the Brass Lantern. "Hello Jenny."

The late 30s or 40s woman instantly turned around to see Joey and his son standing at the outside bar with a sack of fresh Bighorn meat. "We happened to hunt a Bighorn in the desert today. We have a lot of meet here, too much to eat until it spoils first. How about you have some?"

Jenny Stahl, the sister of the owner and worker at the Brass Lantern was starring at Joey's helmet as he spoke. She couldn't help but wonder what he looked like. "Sure I guess. How much?"

Joey insisted it was a gift. Jenny thanked him kindly and offered him a fresh bottle of water on the house. He chugged half of the water and gave the rest to his son who towered over him on his shoulders.

He trudged up the scrap metal stairs to a blue and green painted house. Well, the best he could have painted it anyways.

Joey lowered Max and dug for his keys in his pouch. After two minutes he grabbed the keys and opened the door slowly.

Joey motioned for Max to be silent as he snuck upstairs to his bedroom. He opened the door to the room to reveal his wonderful and pretty wife combing her hair.

"Boo!"

Rachel yelped playfully as Joey spooked her. She started pushing him in revenge for the hair brush that tangled in her hair. But soon, she started laughing childishly and fell into Joey's arms.

"Hello beautiful. It is great to see you and your hair." Joey burst out laughing as he untangled her hair as she laid in his arms.

"Oh stop it Joey. How about you show me your hair?"

Joey normally would ignore such comments from people, but since he loved his wife and she sees him out of his helmet all the time, he felt comfortable doing so.

He carefully pulled the helmet over his head and placed it down at his feet. He then untangled the bandages that covered his head.

"You see? Your handsome. Show the world you." Rachel patted his curvy brown hair as she said this.

Joey's scars littered his face. While they didn't make him look ugly, they scared people or made him embarrassed in public.

Joey replied," I'm not ready yet."

He got up from the bed he sat on and grabbed his helmet. As he picked it up, he noticed his son watching him. "You look like one of those bounty hunters in my books dad."

Joey smiled and looked for his bandages. The one's he took off were no longer fresh.

"I'm gonna go visit that doc guy. Buy some sterile bandages. I'm not sure he should look at my face too."

"That drunken slob? Why would you wanna visit him? I'd be surprised if he could even hold a needle straight."

"Because Rachel, he's the only one in town and his prices are most likely low. Besides, he is easy too find! In his second home, that bar Gob runs. You know, the nice ghoul up there. Listen, I'm probably gonna be out for a little while. Gonna go visit the shop and get a drink or two. I have some fresh Bighorn meat right here. I should be back by dinner time. Max is gonna come with me. He is quite the explorer. Gets the exploring from his dad and the agility from his mom." Joey winked as he started out the door.

Helmet on his head, he walked to the bar and sat down an ordered a scotch and glass of water for Max.

He instantly saw the doc drinking whiskey in his usual mood at the bar.

"Hey doc, if it is ok I'd like to go down to the clinic. I, well, need more fresh bandage tape."

Joey quietly sipped his scotch as Max stared at the girls in the bar.

Arianna (Ari) Richardson - Craterside Supply


Ari lay in bed, stretching her arms above her head, and wiggling her toes as she yawned. She sat up, rolling back her shoulders with a pop. Rubbing her eyes, she slowly stood up, yawning again. She went into the bathroom, looked into the mirror.

"UGH" she splashed some cool water on her face, gotta quit working so damn late. Ari washed up, and got dressed in her cutoff denim shorts and white tank top. After checking on Miora, seeing that she was still asleep, Ari went for her morning jog through the maze of catwalks. About an hour later, she returned home to Craterside. She went inside, Miora was trying to slide a tub of scrap metal.

"MAMA, what are you doing? I told you, I'll get that done today." Ari ushered Miora away from the heavy tub, "what would you have done had you gotten hurt?"

"Honey, not to many years ago, I would haul the extra scrap up to the water supply with no problems." Miora defended, but gladly sat down on the tool by the work bench.

"Mama, please don't do that anymore." Pleaded Ari, she put her hand on her shoulder.

"But you work so many hours between here and the saloon." Said Miora.

"I know, but I got this, you just take it easy alright?" Ari widened her eyes, making sure Miora knew she was serious.

"Alright dear" Miora agreed.

Though it was only one ramp to the water supply, the heavy tub of scrap metal made it seem like a mile. Ari knocked on the door, she waited and nobody answered. [censored] it, Ari left the tub right in front of the door and went back to the shop. Miora was sweeping, Ari didn't mind her doing that, at least the broom helped to keep her stable. Ari pitched in, cleaning the stuff on the shelves.

early afternoon

POP

"God dammit" Ari shook her finger, then put it in her mouth, "[censored] fans" she uttered. The fan she had been trying to rewire shorted out, zapping her finger. Ari shoved it off into a bin frustrated. She looked at the small burn on her finger tip.

"Ari dear, can you run these shot glasses up to the saloon?" Miora called out.

"Yeah mama, coming" Ari hopped up and went to the front counter. There sitting in an old milk crate, fifteen shot glasses.

"Five caps a piece dear, that's what Gob and I agreed on." Miora instructed, Ari grabbed the crate and walked out into the hot sun.

For quite some time, people were confused by the way Ari referred to Miora as mama. In reality, Miora was the closest thing to a mother that Ari had ever had. Being that her own mother dropped her off at Little Lamplight, because she was too sick to care for her anymore, and not wanting to see her end up at Paradise Falls. He real mother deemed it the best scenario for Ari. Ari and Miora's shared a special bond, since she was motherless, and Miora was childless, it just happened.

Shoving open the saloon door, there sat Doc Reynolds, smoking his morning cigarette, and replacing coffee with whiskey.

"Heya Gob, here's the shot glasses you wanted, five caps a pop." Ari grinned, turning to face the doctor.

"Hey doc, if it is ok I'd like to go down to the clinic. I, well, need more fresh bandage tape." Joey called out.

Ari reached over and rubbed his shoulder, "hey there old man, one of them days huh?"

OOC: Lewis is wearing his combat armour right now, Sarah is wearing the "Wasteland scout" (green dress) that several child wear in fallout 3


Lewis whitely - The road to megaton - Noon

“Daddy are we there yet?” Sarah asked

“Not yet Sarah see that Metal thing” Lewis said pointing to what looked like Giant piece of scrap metal “ That megaton”

“Oh” Sarah sadly replied obvious tired of walking

“Here Take Mr Teddy and sit on Brahmin we will be there in No-time” Lewis said as picked up Sarah and placed on Brahmin.

Lewis then turned to older-middle age Mute Merc he had hired “ Keep a look out for Raiders, that super duper mart use to Run by them” Lewis said as he drew his Magnum…

Lewis & Sarah had been travelling from Canterbury commons to Megaton although Lewis could probably handle anything they can across he had hided the Mute merc just incase Raiders, epically considering what Raider would do with Sarah…. if they caught he alive...

Fortunately however they had only ran into few Mole rats easily put down by the Mute’s shotgun and an old Enclave eye-bot, similar to ones Lewis Father worked but his one had left for Navarro….

After another Hour of travelling they finally reached Megaton, going inside the group travelled down to Middle of town were several wackos were worshiping the Megaton bomb

still can't beileve people worship that bomb

Parking the Brahmin in front of Clinic, next to the other Brahmin Lewis pay the Merc for Journey, she thanked Lewis and left megaton, heading back to her Jet Junkie girlfriend….

Now lets find somewhere to sleep for the night I bet … Gob…. Will know

Lewis and Sarah travelled up the Ramp and enter the Saloon, several people including a Guy in Marine issue combat armour were inside Bar

Lifting Sarah on to a Bar stool, Lewis spoke to Gob “ Hello… Gob can I have two nuka colas” Lewis asked

“Sure that will be 20 caps” Gob said as he placed Tow nuka colas on the Table “ everything thing else?” he asked

“ Yeah would you Happen to know were me and Sarah can find a place to sleep tonight, perhaps buy a house as well?” Lewis asked as he paid Gob and Sarah began drinking her Nuka cola…

Chester 'Doc' Reynolds - Saloon

As the Doc continued sipping his drink, he heard the door swing open.

Wonder who it is. he mused, not bothering to turn around. Making his presence known was Joey. Owner of the local weapons store. The tall man entered wearing his helmet as usual and his son in tow.

What's he got to hide? Chester would often wonder suspiciously, but then figured better not to ask. We all deserve to keep our secrets. he thought to himself, taking yet another swig as Joey opened his mouth to speak.

"Hey doc, if it is ok I'd like to go down to the clinic. I, well, need more fresh bandage tape." he said.

So why not just go and do it?

"Joey," the old man grunted, taking a final puff of his dwindling cigarette, butting it and lighting another; his third, "long time, no see, big guy," he grumbled, offering the man a cigarette, "sure, you can go down and help yourself to some bandages. Just don't clean me out. With all the raider attacks we've been having lately, you'd never know when someone's gonna end up hurt," he snorted, "and while you're at it, check on Eduardo for me. Make sure that idiot isn't reading comics again." he completed, finished the last of his whiskey before ordering another.

It was then that Doc heard a rather cheery voice.

"Heya Gob, here's the shot glasses you wanted, five caps a pop." Arianna said to Gob, a pleasant smile on her face. She then turned to the old man, noticing the irritable look on his face, as he often wore. She took the liberty to place a hand on Doc's shoulder comfortingly. "hey there old man, one of them days huh?"

The corners of the Doc's lips fought a smile. He liked her attitude and the fact that she was so frank with him. She reminded him of his own daughter, whom had grown up and most likely resembled her in more ways than one.

"Aye," he grunted, "I fear I won't be free of this mess till the day I pass on," he snickered in his Scottish intonation. "and how goes the day for you, young Ari?" he asked, mildly interested.

The Doc then shifted in his seat upon hearing the door creak open once more. This time it was a rather large man - even taller than Joey - who entered the saloon, accompanied by a child.

This is a saloon, not Little Lamplight. the Doc grimaced, as he heard the man speak. He ordered his drinks and asked Gob a question.

“ Yeah would you Happen to know were me and Sarah can find a place to sleep tonight, perhaps buy a house as well?” he inquired.

Another newcomer looking to move in. Brilliant. the old man sneered, shaking his head and returning to his drink.

Joey picked himself up from his bar stool and adjusted his helmet. A few green lights flashed around the visors, but he quickly adjusted them to turn off.

"Thanks Doc. If you knew why you would...understand. And Arianna, just remember I'm married and I hate drugs..."

Joey looked at her sternly while he rejected the doc's offer of a cigarette.

Joey didn't really like Ari. He felt she was rude and misusing her body in her crooked line of work. He also hated her use of drugs, especially around Max when they'd sometimes stop in late.

Speaking of Max, he sat staring at a girl two or three years older than he was. Joey wondered if her father noticed too as he did.

"Come on buddy. Let's go get the bandages and get to work at the shop."

Max didn't respond until a minute later. "Uh, ok daddy."

Both boys walked to the clinic and knocked on the door in a little tune.

"Hello Joey, hello Max!" Eduardo was always happy to have people visit him, especially Joey and Max since they were nice people to him. A comic book laid on his desk turned upside down.

"Well hiya Eddy! How are those comic books?"

Eduardo talked on and on about Grognik the Barbarian and his heroic actions. Joey listened carefully. "So issue number 14 is your favorite?"

"You betcha Joe!"

"Awesome Eddy. Hey Eddy, I could use a roll of sterile bandage tape please."

"Yep. Let me get those bad boys for ya."

After a few minutes of clumsiness as Eddy toppled over medical equipment, he finally found the tape and threw it to Joe.

"Thanks Eddy."

Joey and Max walked up the metal planks to their successful gun shop, "Joey's Bullets 'n Guns."

As Max unlocked and opened the door, Joey immediately took off the helmet and closed the door behind him. "[censored]. Sorry son, it burns and it has not been covered for too long.

Joey spun the bandage tape around his head. Each turn gave him a sharp pain, but he had gotten used to it. Max handed his father his helmet and watched as he put it back on.

"Thanks sport. Let's get to work then shall we?"

Joey turned the closed sign to open and cranked up the 50's era music as it flowed out his radio near the window. They both danced like classics as they waited for customers.

"Ring-a-ding dad!"

Joey laughed and really got to work. He pulled out his order book and looked at what he had to work on today.

"An "Eric Johnson needs his 1911 Colt repaired. Max, you handle that.

As for me, a "Mike Jacob" needs his M1 Garand clip ejector cleaned and repaired. Let's get to work my boy!"

Arianna Richardson - Saloon


"Aye," Doc reynolds grunted, "I fear I won't be free of this mess till the day I pass on," he snickered in his Scottish intonation. "and how goes the day for you, young Ari?"

"Meh....deliveries, getting shocked working on a fan, same ol s**t I guess." Ari smiled, "Gob, put his shot on my tab."

"You starting early today Ari?" Gob asked.

"Now you know mama don't close up shop til eight these days, I'll settle with ya after my shift." Ari leaned on the bar, "you know I'm good for it Gob."

"Ah hell, alright, don't you forget." Gob shook what was left of his finger.

Ari just caught Joey saying her name, "just remember I'm married and I hate drugs..."

Ari's eyes widened, she svcked in her bottom lip, "too bad for you, you don't know what you're missing, and drugs? S**t, you can by em almost anywhere, I'm just getting a piece of the pie these days, nothing wrong with that." She held up her hand, cocking her head to the side, "nope, uh huh, best get your butt home to your wifey little man."

Ari turned back to Doc Reynolds, "have a good day Doc, thanks for not an a*****e to me." Ari shot Joey a glare as he walked off, "see ya"

"Nine O'clock Ari" Gob called out, reminding her what time her shift started at the saloon.

"I know buggaboo, I know" she replied sarcastically, while noticing the really tall new guy, and his kid.

"This ain't no damn daycare bean pole, you best put on some weight." Ari shook her head, she didn't understand why people brought their kids into the saloon. Jericho was getting up there, you never knew what his senile old ass would do. Ari once asked him why he even owned a house, because he was always perched on the barstool in front of the door.

Back at Craterside, Miora busied herself on her terminal, Ari walked over, leaning her head on Miora's shoulder, "whatcha doing mama?"

"Oh, just reading some old files. I remember the first time the Lone wanderer came in here. He ended up helping with research for my survival guide, what a sweet boy. Ari?"

"Yes mama?" Ari smiled back.

"You need a nice boy like that dear." Miora pat Ari's hand.

"Pfft, like that will happen. You haven't seen what walks into the saloon mama." Ari shook her head in disgust, "besides, I don't need a man. He would just distract me from helping you." Ari and Miora shared a smile, then went about their business in the shop.
