Counting down until I see System Of A Down in Warsaw (July 19)

70 days left

[ncrgrunt]

there’s parts of the mojave that are unnervingly silent at night, but boone welcomes the quiet. the only sound for miles is the crackling of their small fire. he’d prefer to not have a light illuminating their exact position, but at this time of the year they could FREEZE to death before morning without a fire. 

he sits in the sand, elbows on his knees. he’s used to being up this late, to see the stars in the sky. this solitude isn’t good; it keeps him thinking. his guilt is unbearable, but ... at least ... some justice has been given to carla. he remembers the boiling ANGER he felt when learning it was jeannie may who sold his wife off. he keeps the receipt on him as a reminder to NEVER trust anyone again. and yet... he rubs a hand over his face before glancing over to mairwen. 

“you awake?” he asks lowly, voice barely heard over the fire. | @daggersandsparks

MAIN VERSES.

MAIN.

boone is the night-guard for the town of novac. he seeks revenge for his wife, who was sold into slavery to the legion.

COMPANION.

boone travels with the courier 6. if he’s not traveling with the courier, he begrudgingly hangs out at lucky 38 / new vegas with the other companions.

HEAD OF SECURITY. based entirely off this ending from FNV (taken from the fallout wikia):

though NCR was withdrawing from the region, boone remained in new vegas, finding work as a security guard and caravan scout along the highways.    while he might've preferred rejoining his old unit, boone couldn't bring himself to abandon the city where he'd met his wife.

my variant is that it is strictly for INDEPENDENT new vegas under the courier’s reign, who boone works closely with keeping the peace. he’s better at leaving bitter springs behind him, even if the ghosts still linger in his mind.

it’s late, but he’s used to these hours from his night-guard shifts. he thinks he might be the only one awake, so he sits outside the patio of the suite, looking out into the dark night of the mojave wasteland. new vegas is still BRIGHT around him, and he finds himself lost in thought. coming back to new vegas opens up old wounds. sure, he has some kind of consolation now, but he still has to LIVE with everything that’s happened.

                               carla should’ve never gotten close to him. he’s a bad omen. 

“go to sleep,” he says, when he hears the door slide open. he doesn’t care which one of these rag-tag companions it is; he just wants to be left ALONE. there’s a prickly feeling in his neck, and his heart rate’s elevated. he just needs to be alone to settle himself. | @betterhealing

Was I discovered or invented? Feels like I’ve always been here.

:/ | @ccuriersix

“t’ch.” the sun is hot over the mojave today – probably with temperatures up to one-hundred-and-twenty degrees. the sweat trickles down his face, soaks his shirt. he’s used to the feeling now, the desperate need of thirst, the lightheadedness caused by the extreme heat. he slowly sips his purified water, knowing he has to save every last drop. boone’s quiet at the musing. sure, it’s not UNUSUAL to hear talk like this, but it throws him. 

because… in a way… he feels the same.

was it always like this? was he always here? he’s felt different since bitter springs. it’s the discovered part that he hangs on to – because she was DISCOVERED. a doc found her dying in the desert and patched her up. her memories faded, blurred. his are the same, but there’s no bullet in the head that’s changed his – except… for carla. 

he’s not a man of a lot of words; he’s not profound. boone can’t talk at length like arcade or veronica. he’s not a man of poetry or even intelligence. he’s just boone. the one thing he has going for him is his perception – in the battlefield. of the world. 

“does it matter?” he asks, voice sounding rougher than he intends, but he doesn’t know how to be anything but SHARP EDGES. jagged to the touch. don’t get close. “you decide. that’s what that bullet gave you – the CHOICE. besides, the desert makes everyone feel that way if you’re out here too long. we had some new recruits that would lose it within the first week of enlistment after training.”
