This is like the set up t’a bad joke. A super Mutant, Courier, N’Cannibal walk into a bar. Aha— no? no. Sorry.

[luckythirtyeight]

I dunno, sounds like a good start to me! What comes next?

Oh, hello! [He is… very tall… and she is… very not… Sheepishly, she offers a smile and a wave.] I-Is there something I can help you with?

[thehuntsmanofthewaste-deactivat]

Hmmm…

[He looks around the place he’s in. He’s been walking around for 20 minutes and he’s still unsure of where he is.]

Uh… What is this place again?

[luckythirtyeight]

This? This is an old Pre-War gypsum trainyard. Nearest settlements are NCR's Bitter Springs, which is east of here, or you could head northwest and hit Vegas.

[Elle tilts her head.] Where... were you trying to go?

Good evening, Courier. Are you doing well?

I am! What about you, Joshua? And Zion?

It may not be "my world", but I am the only one capable of leading it. The Brotherhood projections all concluded the same regardless of the variables. Attempt to make peace? An attack was inevitable. Attempt to rehabilitate? An attack was inevitable. There was no other option. Destruction was the answer.

[luckythirtyeight]

Did you even try working me into your equations? Caesar let me walk freely through his camp. I survived the Boomers' howitzers and not only do they accept me now, they trust me. Me, the first outsider to be allowed in their home in decades. And the -- [And then there's the Think Tank, except that she never told him about Big MT, better recover fast] -- And the Kings even made me an official member!

[She falls quiet suddenly, and her eyes drop as a thought strikes her. She forces herself to raise them back to the screen, despite the tightening of her throat.] Just how big of a number am I in your calculations?

Dean! I was hopi — I was starting to wonder when I’d see you around town. How have you been?

[musicandmartinis]

“Oh, the usual. Wandering around this lovely little desert, getting reminded time after time that I’m a has-been, or not worth remembering at all. Bah, who cares about all that? I’m wonderful. Couldn’t be better. And you, my dear?”

[luckythirtyeight]

“Oh, come on. Surely you’ve been into the Tops, at least. Tommy Torini won’t let you down.” She flashes a smile.

“Oh… Me? Not too bad, I guess. You’d think that after the fight for the Dam, things might calm down a bit, but, nope. If anything, it’s more crazy. Here in Freeside, anyway.”

((OOC: Gdi, I reblogged my answer to this on my personal blog instead of this one. /headdesk. Sorry!))

[musicandmartinis]

((not a problem at all xD))

“Torini keeps me on stage and full of liquor, so I guess I can’t complain,” Dean said. “And yes, I have been to the Tops. Hardly my usual gig, but it’ll do for the Great Comeback, I suppose.”

He raised an eyebrow.

“… Someone fought over Hoover Dam?”

[luckythirtyeight]

"Honestly, you could really only do better at the Ultra-Luxe, and they don't quite strike me as your style." She paused and realized how that could sound. "That is, I mean... I think there are more people you could get along with at the Tops. It seems like more of a place you'd feel at home at."

Elle blinked at his reaction to the Dam, but once she thought it over, she supposed it made sense that he wouldn't get it. "Of course. It produces power and then there's the whole water part. That makes it pretty important if someone wants to control the area."

[Also I feel like since I’ve been so inactive and inconsistent in my roleplay style, I can’t just dick around in people’s askboxes like I used to, or ask others to roleplay. So I just sit and wait for others to ask me and they don’t and I get more and more inactive… it’s a vicious circle.

Here’s an uncharacteristically unhappy ann to illustrate the current state of this blog:]

[luckythirtyeight]

[Ahaha… If it makes you feel any better, I’m in a similar vicious circle, though mine is less because I’ve been inactive and more because I’m new and shy.]

[the-unsettler-deactivated201310]

[I’M OLD AS FUCK, WITH ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS EMBARRASSING.]

[luckythirtyeight]

[Everyone has their lulls! Has... have... eh, 4:30am. Getting back into the groove is always the hardest part of RP for me, too, at the other place I play. It's like, "oh god but I'm so behind this will never woororkrkrkrkkk." But, I'm sure if you drop people lines, they won't mind working something out?]

Update: Canon Relationships

I finally finished putting together the bare bones of a page about Elle's relationships, including the people from her past, the vanilla game, and the DLCs. You can take a look at it over here on her Dreamwidth journal.

One of these days, I'm going to sit down and put all of that into proper paragraph form, but it's good enough at this point in time.

Now I'm going to go burrito myself in a blanket and sleep. G'night~

[luckythirtyeight]

[Elle exhales slowly. Yup, just as she thought… The desire for answers. To Know.]

Because… I don’t care about anything like that. The resources matter; I can’t deny that. But… [She falls silent for a moment. How does she explain this?] What matters most to me, is… Helping people.

[It sounds lame to her ears, so she hurriedly tries to expand on it.] That’s something you can understand, right? You saved New Vegas. You’re working to help people. I just… I look around, and see all of these people, and each and every one of them has a story, and they’ve all suffered. All I want is what’s best for them. I just want a future that isn’t going to be so horrible as the present. For everyone.

… and, the day that I… [She swallows.] When I told you I had the Brotherhood’s support. The way you reacted, and the way you sounded, then… It… [She looks away.] It reminded me of someone. Someone… dangerous. And I was scared…

[Her voice falls.] I was scared that you’d end up like him. That you were like him. And I couldn’t keep my eyes closed any more. I couldn’t risk… [Another Elijah.]

I didn’t want… I never wanted to hurt you. Please, believe that. I would have just put you back, but you… [Just kill me!]

I’m sorry.

[robert-edwinhouse-deactivated20]

Like Him?

I do not know who this person you refer to is, but I am not one to miss the obvious.

You sought a purpose, that you felt was higher.  You want to do more on the ground.

You want to be there, in the thick of it, working with your hands. Seeing people first hand.

Nothing you could not have done here.

Nothing the other couriers haven’t done themselves.

[luckythirtyeight]

But it's... It's not just that. I know I could have done that with... with your guidance. And that's why I followed your path. But...

[She takes a deep breath.] This isn't just your world. It's everyone's. No one should be able to dictate whether or not an entire group of people should be annihilated. Everyone deserves a chance to find their place. The Brotherhood lost theirs, and they still need more time to find a new one. It's one thing if they're like the Legion or the Fiends, who destroy everything in their path and oppress people while they're doing it. But the Brotherhood... They're just misguided. I think with the right helping hand, they could get back on their feet again.
