Re: Let's Play: Fallout 3 (PC)
So begins the story of Anginia, the Cowgirl of DC.
(If you're interested, I'm going to be following the main story arc but trying to keep the commentary and actions consistent with my character's temperment. Think of it as a forum-based fanfic with pictures and I'll take suggestions on where to take it occasionally)(insert boring intro sequence here)
Pops raised me to be self-sufficient and in-dee-pendant, which is why I took charge when Amata woke me up that night. A girl's gotta take care of herself, nobody else is gonna do it for ya unless they want something out of ya.
Gettin' out of that disgustin' hole was the first step in the right direction, if'n you ask me. Overseer whatsisface always breathin' down your neck is no way to live, 'specially when he's all creepy-like on me an' Amata. Nice gal, but I ain't interested in her or nothin' like he seems to think.
Made it real easy to pull his strings when he was starin' me down though, just mention Amata and he crumpled like a sheet a' paper.
So anyway, next step out is to find Pops again. I love the old lug, couldn't bear bein' out without at least clappin' him on the back for leadin' the way. Amata didn't know anything about where he went other than outside (typical, dame doesn't bother to check her facts first), so I'll have to do a bit of lookin' around. Shouldn't be too hard, guy like him makes waves.
The outside world is a dump, no lie. Crumblin' concrete everywhere and lots a' dust. Luckily, I found Pop's dog K9. Friendly fella, 'parently he wants to hang round me 'til we find Pops, so we set off together.
I met this gal Silver hidin' in a shack near the vault entrance. Seems like a pretty decent gal, but she's a little bit too comfy, if you get my drift. I ain't interested, but she seem like she thought I was.
I got out of there quick-like and roamed around some more. Town's a wreck where Silver's shack was, a few odds and ends around worth collecting, but not much else. On the horizon at night was a pretty big light, turned out to be another town, still occupied. I moseyed on in and met the sheriff, Simms. I like his attitude, doesn't take nonsense, so I sang the right notes when he asked me to. I don' intend to cause him any trouble, but I might just cause some trouble for someone else. Some folk deserve some trouble made on 'em, if'n you know what I mean.
Askin' around town, I met this guy Moriarty. Real shady fellow, kept lookin' at his computer screen the entire time I was tryin' to talk to 'im. I think I saw him grippin' his saddle horn pretty tight, but the back room of his saloon was too dark to tell rightly. I don't doubt it though, I know his type. Think they own the place 'cause they got dirt on all the folk around, treat everybody like ♥♥♥♥ and extract favors out of honest folk 'cause he knows something they don't want told. I don't like 'im, and if he tries anything funny I might just smack some sense into him. Old coot needs to be taught his place and let law-abidin' folk get along with their bizness.
Moriarty said he knows where Pops went, but I have to pay him nice before he'll talk. 100 caps, which is what they use for money 'round the surface, seems. I'll get him his 100 caps, I ain't no freeloader. But, 100 caps is all he gets, he tries for more and he'll find himself starin' down the wrong end of a hot barrel.
Same time, met this shady character Blake. He looks like a city slicker, talks like a city slicker, and even smells like a city slicker. Like Moriarty, I know the type. Dirty, real dirty, and not afraid of gettin' others dirty if it's easier on his back. Pointin' to the bomb in the town square, he asked me to rig it with some fancy detonator and blow up the whole town for 100 caps. I told him to take that idea and shove it so far up 'is ass it came out his mouth agin. Greasy ♥♥♥♥ told me the offer still stood in case I changed my mind. I might just have to start some trouble on him, but not now. Got more impor'nt things to take care of.
Finally, met this dame Moira mindin' the only shop in town. Right scatterbrain, this one. Asked me what life in the hole was like. I told it to her straight, and she scribbled around in some notebook. 'Parently, she's writin' some book for other folk to read about survivin' in the wastes. Now I ain't too crazy about the idea, since if'n you ask me survivin's a pretty simple concept, but she was damn pushy about me helpin' her out. I'll be paid and she gave me a slight advance in the form of some new clothin', but the gleam in her eyes made me a mite scared. I dunno what she's gonna have me do, but I have a feelin' it ain't gonna be pleasant. Right after she explained it all to me, I noticed she had a piece of mighty fine-looking cheesecake on her desk. Oh lawdy, what I wouldn't do for that cheesecake, but t'aint right to take what ain't mine, Pops always said that. I left the shop before I got any funny ideas (though tell truth, Moira prob'ly wouldn't notice, gal was too busy countin' the bolts in the wall behind the counter).
Next time I got the caps, I'm buyin' that cheesecake.
