a nearby little uh ‘ town ’ ,
really just a couple of shacks
made by some farmers but eh .
i can point y’over to it - they got

“ more brotherhood ׅׅ𖤠
huh— could’ve sworn y’guys
left with the prydwin - some big
new mission or whatever .”
her armor at least looked like
a brotherhood member’s , so he
figured she’d ought to be right .
“ i’m on my way to +
Her eyes would look at the man’s offered hand before lifting to regard his face, hesitating for a long moment before accepting the hand up with a grunt.
“My thanks, and I suppose so…”
She was getting sloppy. Muties almost never got the drop on her…
“Sarah Lyons.+
not bad kid , y’got
like 90% . . no i’ll give
you 95% — you got 95%
percent of that right .
you don’t look as dumb as
ya’ look— eh scratch that , you
still seem kind of slow .
uhhh ...
( squinting. it's been a while since he's played. )
there were four bases, and you had to hit each on your way back to home or whatever, or you'd get tagged out. each lap was a point, i think ?
... and if the ball hits one of the lights, you get yelled at.
man i love
hancock , guy’s
been great since
the start .
could always use an extra
guy on watch at sanctuary , too .
just temporary work - current guy
broke his leg or whatever .
“ what— no , no
that can’t be right i-”
now he’s starting to question
his own existence - further pacing ,
both hands resting on top of the
minutemen general’s head .
“ i stepped out of the vault , went
to concord , saved preston - +
“( you’re * ) supposed to be dead —”
margot can’t help herself, stepping closer to him.
“can i touch you? are you real?”
her voice is still soft, expression finally contorting into worry, with some degree of horror.
“do you have your ring?”
as if that will properly +
“ we’ve united just about
every settlement in the commonwealth
up to this point , shit ; even goodneighbor
&. far harbor , you’d be surprised to know
that goodneighbor was easier than far
harbor , though .”
“ if ya’ promise
to BEHAVE — then
yeah sure , oh &. if
i tell you to do something ;
you sure as shit are gonna’
do it , this is a military operation
baby - there ain’t no winging it .”
Oh, he frowns. He does NOT like Vim. It’s not the same at all as Nuka Cola. Not at all!
“Can’t I just come with you to NukaWorld with the minutemen? I’ll be useful and awesome!”
He’d really do anything to go to that damn park.
“ no—”
backing up , worried expression
on face , pacing back &. forth ;
repeating the word ‘ no ’ over &.
over to himself .
“ you’re— you’re dead , kellogg
shot you ; i saw it .ᐟ i saw the body .ᐟ”
her expression doesn’t change outside of her eyes — widened slightly at the mention of sanctuary hills. she’s sure that he sees right through her.
“they — uh, they do.”
a confirmation, voice shaky. it’s hard to hide how overwhelming this is.
r ── really ? i mean , wow . . uh . i dunno what to say dude . well , if you ever need someone blown to pieces consider callin ' me again , ' kay ? it was real fun hiking around together .
“ never been better ,
not sure how that asshole
managed to get so far from
home -”
getting up , dusting himself
off - what a day .
“ nearest mutant hold out is
across the river at fort strong ,
but oh yeah— thank you .”
Smoke rises from both barrels of his sawed-off shotgun. Seems the monstrosity’s thick skin wasn’t enough to stop buckshot.
The stranger looked down at the mutant with scorn, before shifting his gaze towards the other man.
“Another one down. . you alright, mister?”
@angelspitr er— he hadn’t planned on
eating it , not really his style .
“ just so you know , what you
did here really made a group of
farmers day today - assholes been
freaking them out for weeks .”
