How would the companions react to Little Lamplight and Mayor Maccready?
Thanks for requesting!
Cait:
Little Lamplight: “It may seem cruel for these children to have to live like this but… I think I would prefer this over my own childhood, you know?”
MacCready: “Not a hope that this little shithead and MacCready are the same person! Way too polite, that bloke.”
Codsworth:
Little Lamplight: “A society run by children? Oh mum/sir, I don’t dare imagine little Shaun having to grow up in a place like this.”
MacCready: “Oh dear, such hostility from a child? I suppose I can’t expect anything different. These poor kids never had any proper adult guidance! Sir/mum, I propose we send a Ms Nanny their way!”
Curie:
Little Lamplight: “Oh, this is just horrible! No child should have to survive in these conditions! Isn’t there anything we can do to help them?”
MacCready: “Such vulgarity! Has no one got manners anymore in this world?”
Danse:
Little Lamplight: “Look what the war did to these children! This is yet more proof of why technology in the hands of the wrong people can have devastating consequences!”
MacCready: “The exact attitude one would expect from someone who’d grow up to be a mercenary.” (Mac: “What’s that supposed to mean??”)
Deacon:
Little Lamplight: “A parentless life is a sad reality for many children in the wastes. However morbid this may look, they’ve been managing well.”
MacCready: Deacon will try to convince mayor MacCready that he’s just a really tall child. On top of that, he will forever call adult MacCready ‘mungo’ and make up countless different reasons for how he knows that term.
Gage:
Little Lamplight: “Interesting set-up. I guess they’re pretty safe here from outside threats, except - you know - the gigantic green monsters next door.” (insert sarcasm)
MacCready: “Kid, you have no idea the kind of company I’ve had to deal with all these years. You wanna rile me up? Then stray away from your vanilla boring ass insults ‘cause I ain’t impressed.”
Hancock:
Little Lamplight: “Huh, cozying up right next to a super mutant den? Either these kids are incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. Probably an unhealthy mix of both.”
MacCready: “So this is the origin story of our favorite mercenary? Hm, I’ll admit, almost as good as mine.”
Longfellow:
Little Lamplight: Longfellow won’t say anything, but a profound sadness washes over him at the sight in front of him. If somewhere deep down he still had hope for the world, it was now for sure fully taken away.
MacCready: “Youngsters these days…”
MacCready:
“Ahh the good old times.”
Nick:
Little Lamplight: “I can’t tell if I’m more impressed by their tenacity, or more disappointed that they need it to survive.”
MacCready: “Well, behind every hardened mercenary, there is some kind of tragic backstory, isn’t there?” He sighs. “Maybe I’ve been too hard on the kid.”
Piper:
Little Lamplight: “Oh god… I’ve always known the Wasteland was hard but… these are children. They should be getting raised by two loving parents not living like… this.”
MacCready: Piper’s always known MacCready as a chill mercenary who tries a bit too hard to flirt with her. She’s never paid much attention to him, but seeing him as a child living in these circumstances, she suddenly finds herself looking at him in a completely different light.
Preston:
Little Lamplight: “This is why we have to bring back the Minutemen! Children deserve to grow up in a safe place, not hiding out in a cave.”
MacCready: “Damn… With how chill he is, you’d never guess he had this kind of childhood. Certainly explains why he’s so good at his job though.”
Strong:
Little Lamplight: “Not safe for small human! Brother smash small human!”
MacCready: “Small human talk too much!”
X6-88:
Little Lamplight: “And here I thought I’d already seen the worst of the surface.”
MacCready: “Interesting. Somehow the child version seems tougher than the adult.”
What would be their reaction to sole survivor's obsession with collecting stuffed animals? (Like the teddies or sloths.) Especially if they insisted some of the stuffed animals be in bed with them while they sleep. (If they are romantic partners)
Thank you for requesting!
Cait:
Cait will get annoyed fast, whether Sole is actively looking for them or just picking them up as they see them, it is both a waste of time and space in their backpacks to be carrying around anything that isn’t food, ammo or weapons. Her reaction therefore will be largely the same as when you pick up junk, and she’ll refuse to carry anything Sole handed them if the stuffed animals are the only reason Sole can’t carry it themselves.
Taking them to bed: No focking way. She’ll kick them out at first, but if Sole is persistent in putting them back, she might end up liking the extra softness – not that she’ll admit it.
Codsworth:
Codsworth won’t blink an eye at first, but as he notices the stuffed animals keep piling up and their living space is becoming a mess, he’ll carefully try to ask Sole what they are for. When Sole looks him dead in the eyes without saying anything in response, he’ll awkwardly back off with a fake hearty laugh.
Curie:
“You already picked up that same one before, no? Is there some sort of reward for collecting them?” Curie will ask all excitedly. When you tell her that the stuffed animals somehow comfort you, she’ll back off a bit. There’s something about you that tells her you’re not quite ready to talk about it yet.
Taking them to bed: “Oh, this is very uncomfortable. How can you sleep like this?” The need for sleep is still new to Curie. It took her a while to get used to lying still in bed trying to drift off and it’s still not easy for her, so the random stuffed animals poking her from all sides don’t help. She’ll try to shove them your way, but always somehow misses one.
Danse:
“Sole, this is an absolute waste of space! Get rid of them, at once!”
“No,” Sole would growl back.
“That’s an order, soldier!”
“Take your order and shove it! This isn’t military business, Danse, this is personal!”
Though he doesn’t understand what you mean exactly, Danse will be a bit more lenient with you, sometimes even going as far as letting you collect them without a single complaint. It was rare though.
Taking them to bed: “Is this really necessary?” When you tell him it absolutely is, he’ll sigh but leave it be, only getting really annoyed if they come in between you two when he’s trying to snuggle up to you.
Deacon:
“Oh sure, when you wanna pick up teddy bears it’s okay, but when I pick something up it’s ‘useless’ and a ‘waste of space’.”
“You were picking up human skulls!”
“Hey, I had plans for those.”
Taking them to bed: Deacon won’t complain, but the moment you’re fast asleep, he’ll throw them all out and pretend to be sleeping like a little angel. If you wake up and ask him where your teddy bears are, he’ll just innocently roll into you and wrap his arms around you. “I’m right here.”
“Not what I meant, Deacon.”
“And yet, you suddenly realize that I am, in fact, the only teddy bear you’ll ever need.”
You scoff but wrap your arms around him as well. “You’re the worst.”
Gage:
Have you ever seen someone who’s just absolutely done with life? Yeah, that’s Gage the fifth time he’ll find you down in Nuka-World’s arcade instead of clearing out the park with him.
“For the love of- Boss! We need to talk.” Oh, he is pissed.
“Later, Gage, I’m-”
“Nothing later,” he’ll say and grab your arm, roughly spinning you away from the machine so you’re looking at him. “My life depends on how well you do as Overboss, so get your shit together already!”
Taking them to bed: No. Plain and simple, it just isn’t happening. It would make him look soft and he can’t have that. If you insist, he’ll threaten you with some form of punishment like sleeping separately, no sex, or whatever he knows will affect you.
Hancock:
Hancock is easily the most patient with you (besides Curie, of course). The first few times, he doesn’t think anything of it. When it happens more frequently, he starts to get worried but doesn’t say anything to you at the moment. Only when you get back to the Old State House does he carefully bring it up.
“So, Sunshine, wanna tell me what the story is behind these?”
Taking them to bed: Sure, as long as it doesn’t hinder his ability to cuddle you to sleep.
Longfellow:
He’ll comment on its uselessness as most other companions do, but you know Longfellow is almost permanently drunk, so you take advantage of his lowered state of alertness to pick up the stuffed animals without him noticing. He’ll eventually find out when he tries to share some rations with you, only for them to spill out of your backpack when you try to store the food away. The instant look of disappointment is hard to miss as Longfellow wonders what it was about you again that made him sign up to be your guide.
MacCready:
“Uh, are you sure, boss? Okay…”
You are paying him so he kind of has to just let this go, right? He thinks it’s weird for sure, but it’s also not his place to comment on it. Once you two are closer and the deal with Barnes and Winlock is over, he’ll grow annoyed a lot faster.
“Oh come on, leave it! It’s useless!”
He’ll be annoyed if you don’t listen to him, but there’s nothing much he can do. He will refuse to carry them himself though - unless you pay him to.
Taking them to bed: He’ll complain nonstop. “Is this really necessary?” “Ugh, they’re poking me from all sides!” “How can you sleep like this?” You might have to get rid of the teddy bears just so he’ll shut up, and only then will he notice that he actually liked having them around.
Nick:
Big sigh. “Kid, I swear, the more I travel with you, the more I wonder how the hell you’ve lasted this long out here.” And he’ll make snarky remarks. “You know, kid, we’d move a lot faster if we didn’t have to stop every 20 meters.” “How many until you’re satisfied? I’ll keep count so I know when the suffering can end.”
Taking them to bed: Nick doesn’t sleep. Sometimes he lies down with you if you want him to and having the stuffed animals there won’t change that, though he might complain about them like a grumpy old man.
Piper:
“Priorities, Blue! Ugh!”
She’ll comment on it a few times. If it keeps happening, she’ll stop you and try to talk to you about it. Whether you share your reason with her or not is up to you, but if you don’t, she’ll make a lot more comments, trying to make you slip up and tell her something.
“You know, if we die here, I’d love to see the face of the poor wastelander who ends up finding our corpses. How will they give meaning to the mystery that is the bag full of teddy bears? What do you think, Blue?”
Taking them to bed: She doesn’t really want it, but she won’t complain as much as the others. Most of the time, she’ll like having the extra softness around, but other times she just wants to snuggle up to you and if the stuffed animals get in the way, they’ll have to go.
Preston:
Preston doesn’t understand what you’re trying to achieve with it and he’ll try to carefully breach the topic with you. “That’s a lot of stuffed animals, General. Are you planning something?”
Taking them to bed: He’ll toss and turn, getting annoyed at the teddy bears constantly getting in the way, but will wake up the next morning with one or more wrapped tightly in his arms. Maybe he could get used to this after all.
Strong:
“Human stop!! No more soft things!!” Strong shouts angrily at you after already telling you three times over(!!) that he wants to see no more soft things!
“Shut up, you dumb green brute! What do you know?!” Sole yells back in frustration.
“Bah!” Strong proclaims loudly and leaves your company.
X6-88:
Says nothing, but reports back to Father that you are too unstable to become the next director.
Taking them to bed: Same as with Nick. He doesn’t sleep and only joins you in bed if you ask him to. He’ll start to shove them aside if you tell him to join you, and when you stop him, he’ll make you choose: do you want your bed to be filled with teddy bears or him?
Can I request the companions over hearing sole admit they want to kiss/sleep with/be with them in a game of truth or dare?
Truth: if you could be with anyone in the settlement who would it be
Sole: Obviously (companion)! You know I love them
Thank you for requesting! I changed the truth or dare game to the companions just overhearing Sole talk about their feelings for them to a friend. It can still be read the same way though!
Cait:
Cait will have a field day. She won’t tell you she overheard you at all, but she’ll make a lot of comments trying to embarrass you or make you stutter. “We’d move a lot faster if you kept your eyes on the road and off me arse!” “Admiring the view, are you?” “Didn’t know you cared that much about me.”
Curie:
Instantly confronts you about your feelings because she’s confused about her own.
Danse:
Before BB: He’ll berate you for being unprofessional, not at all thinking about whether he himself has feelings or not.
After BB: He’ll contemplate whether he should confront you about it or not. He respects and trusts you a lot and there’s no one he’d rather be with than you, but he doesn’t think himself worthy of you so he’ll keep quiet.
Deacon:
Deacon will pretend like he didn’t hear anything. He’ll act the exact same as he’s always acted around you, but he won’t be able to stop thinking about your words. And he’ll hate it. Chances are, Deacon will try to find some excuse to distance himself from you for a while if not indefinitely.
Gage:
At first, Gage immediately thinks about how he can have some dirty fun with you, but he finds himself unable to act on it because he respects you too much. This confuses him and you’ll find him often spacing while you’re talking to him.
Hancock:
Chuckles to himself and is very flattered, but he won’t mention anything to you unless he notices you acting differently around him. (Like if he suddenly notices that you’re acting shy whenever you’re with him.) He’ll tease you a bit when that happens, but he won’t take things further or mention your feelings for him (or his feelings for you) because he thinks it’s just a crush and that you deserve better than him.
MacCready:
Mac will be - like Hancock - flattered and amused, and he won’t be able to hide it. He’ll smirk at you, wink at the most random of times and make flirty jokes in a very unsubtle way. If you blush in response, he’ll find it both hilarious and adorable. This can go on for a while before he finally confesses that he overheard your conversation. As you groan and hide your face in your hands in embarrassment, he’ll pull you in his arms while laughing before he reassures you that you are adorable and that he feels the same.
Nick:
Sighs loudly. He had not expected this and he doesn’t want things to become awkward or complicated. Without even thinking about his own feelings, he’ll sit you down and talk about it, trying his best to let you down gently.
Piper:
Knowing Piper’s horrible “journalism”, she might just write an article exposing you.
Honestly, I think she’ll talk to you almost instantly, not even caring that you’ll find out she was spying on you. She needs to know if you’re serious or not, because she is serious about you.
Preston:
In shock. He’ll tell himself to not mention to you that he overheard you, but every time he sees you, he’s reminded of it. Suddenly, he starts to look at you differently and notices that he too has feelings for you. Before he even notices, he’s spoken up: “General, can I talk to you about something?”
X6-88:
Doesn’t realize the significance of your words and just carries on. I’m not sure if coursers can forget things, but the information will be pushed to the back of his mind and is not likely to resurface.
Companions react to Sole being stuck in a Pulowski Preservation shelter
Found this idea on this prompts list, and I wanted to give it a go. I ended up having so much fun writing this! However, in my reaction Dogmeat doesn’t lead the Companion to Sole, how they find her is a mystery (purely because otherwise Hancock’s and Longfellow’s reactions don’t work).
Cait:
“You’ve gotta be shitting me right now!” you hear Cait’s angry voice from outside the chamber. “How’d you manage to get yourself stuck in there?! Better not be because you were running away from a fight!”
“Help…”
“Just give it a few good kicks!”
Codsworth:
“Sir/Mum!” Codsworth calls out oh so worriedly. “Are you okay in there?! Hold on! I’ll call the firebrigade right away! One of the many virtues of having a mr. Handy around!” he says, laughing with fake cheer. His denial once again of the current state of the world immediately tells you he’s in panic mode.
Curie:
“Madam/Monsieur? Are you in there?”
“Yes, Curie and I’m stuck! Help.”
“Oh no! This is most unfortunate! How do you suggest I start this rescue mission?”
Danse:
Speechless because he’s so disappointed in you.
“Soldier… just….” He sighs and decides it’s not worth it, so instead of wasting more time on words, he silently helps them out and then give them judgmental looks for the rest of the day.
Deacon:
“Hey, I ain’t judging you. These things are great eavesdropping spots, you just gotta pick the right locations. And this one: not so good. Too close to Trinity Tower, unless you can decipher some intelligent code in the Super Mutants grunting. Never was able to myself.”
“That’s great, Deacon. Can you get me out?”
“What? Oh yeah, pull the lever on your left.”
Gage:
“Boss,” he starts but then stops for a second and breathes in deeply before he’d lash out in annoyance and disappointment. How was he supposed to put his faith in you as Overboss if you can’t even figure out how to open the door of a Pulowski Shelter. “How the hell did you get yourself stuck in there? You know what, no, I don’t even wanna know. Just get out before one of the gangs finds out.”
Hancock:
Thinks the drugs are making him hallucinate when he hears your voice but doesn’t see you anywhere.
“The jet will make you jittery,” he mumbles to himself and moves on. Only realizing later that day that you are nowhere to be found and he might not have been hallucinating after all.
Longfellow:
Longfellow is too preoccupied with his drunken sailor songs to even hear your cries. And by the time he gets back to his cabin, he has probably forgotten he was with you at all, so chances are there’d be no rescue for you.
MacCready:
Mac is laughing his ass off. “Oh man! I am never letting this one go.”
“Please laugh after helping-.”
“I mean, how’d you even manage to get stuck in there in the first place?”
“Mac-“
You’ll have to wait a few minutes before he gets serious about helping you get out of there. And even then, he’ll probably get some laughter fits in between every now and then.
Nick:
“Kid, the situations you manage to get yourself into…” he sighs.
“Help me, please.”
“And how do you expect me to do that? I don’t see what you see! I’m sure there’s a lever or a button somewhere.”
Piper:
“Hm, interesting spot to crawl into, Blue. Tell me, what kind of secrets does it hold?” she says teasingly.
“You tell me, I thought I’d seen you hide in one of these once.”
Instantly her teasing tone changes as she feels caught. “Well, y-yeah, but that’s for my job!”
“Yeah, that makes it better, Piper.”
Preston:
“General, why were you in there in the first place?”
“…Recon.”
“Hm. So what did you discover?” Preston says, sounding amused.
Strong:
“Human should not hide!! Human weak!”
“Just get me out already, big guy.”
And he will, by ripping the shelter in two.
X6-88:
“Sir/Ma’am, what were you looking for in there?”
“That’s not important, X6! Just help me get out.”
“I would recommend teleporting back to the Institute, that should solve the issue.”
Romanced companions react to Sole with a hotwife/cuckold/cuckquean fetish?
Thank you for requesting! Sorry, it took me literally over a year to write this... I left out the hotwife fetish because I don't think any of the companions would be into it.
Cait:
Absolutely not, and you better drop it immediately before this becomes a dealbreaker. Having sex with another man while you watch would remind her too much of her time being used as a slave and all those gross nights with some raiders. Cait might talk about anything sex-related nonchalantly, but there’s a reason she started abusing drugs. She wants her relationship with you to be different. Threesomes are fine, but being watched feels too much like being a piece of meat put on display.
She also isn’t into watching you have sex with someone else.
Curie:
Curie doesn’t understand the appeal. She loves you, so she doesn’t want to have sex with another man, and surely if you love her, you wouldn’t want to have sex with another woman? It will take a lot of explaining for her to accept that it merely turns you on. If she decides to give one of the options a go, she’ll choose to watch you be with someone else, but she’ll end up hating it and be very upset with you for ever bringing it up.
Danse:
No. Asking him to watch you have sex with another guy will make him very angry because he really doesn’t get what you’re trying to achieve. Are you trying to make him jealous? To rile him up? Because it’s working, only with a ton of added insecurities and doubts about your relationship on top of it. Same as with Curie, you’ll have to spend a lot of time explaining the fetish to him before he calms down a bit and stops accusing you of not wanting to be with him anymore.
If you tell him you want him to have sex with someone else while you watch, he won’t be as angry, but he’ll still be confused and refuse the offer, silently wondering at night why the hell you’d want to put yourself through that.
Deacon:
Deacon will laugh it off and pray that you’re just joking. Whether you want him to have sex with someone else while you watch or you want to have sex with someone else while he watches, neither option appeals to him, and he’ll refuse. Unlike Danse and Curie, however, he will not bombard you with questions. Instead, he’ll pretend you two never had the conversation at all, but this approach results in him having a lot of unanswered questions still on his mind. Late at night, while you’re already fast asleep in his arms, he’ll try to understand what turns you on so much about it by imagining the different scenarios and… did his cock just twitch imagining you getting fucked by someone else while he jerks off?
Gage:
Instantly refuses but only really thinks about your suggestion later during the day. It’ll take him a few more days to come around to the idea, but he’ll eventually bring it up someday after you two just had sex. “So, you want to watch while I do this with some other chick?”
However, he denies that he wants to do this because it arouses him. Instead, he tells himself he wants to make you regret asking for it, he wants to see you get jealous and admit how stupid a suggestion it was. That doesn’t work out so well however because you were serious when you said it was a kink of yours. So instead, he has to watch you get off while his cock is destroying some random chick’s pussy, and it only makes him want to be inside of you more. So he quickly makes the girl cum, then finishes off buried deep inside of you anyway.
It’ll take longer for him to come around to the idea of you getting fucked by someone else, but he’ll eventually give that a try too. Still, he prefers the sex to just be between the two of you.
Hancock:
Hancock has had no desire to have sex with someone else ever since he got together with you, but he quickly agrees to watching you get fucked by someone else. There are several rules that need to be followed though: 1: You keep eye contact with him throughout the entire thing. 2: His name is the only name leaving your mouth. And 3: You trash talk the guy afterward. Abide by these rules and everything will be fine, but break one - especially the second one - and Hancock won’t hesitate to interrupt your little session and switch the roles, making the other guy watch as he punishes you.
MacCready:
Spits out his drink and thinks (hopes) he misunderstood you, but when you assure him you’re serious, he scratches his head and wonders what the hell he’s even supposed to think of this.
“So shit like that turns you on? Wh… What do you want me to say to that, Sole?”
He’s utterly confused, so you have to make sure he fully understands the situation, and then you let him take as much time as he needs to think things through.
Mac will be too jealous to let you have sex with another guy, but he’ll eventually come around to having you watch him have sex with another woman. It gets him off, sure, he’s surrounded by two naked women after all: one he’s fucking and you, who’s clearly enjoying the view. But something about the entire situation feels wrong to him. Sex is supposed to be just between the two of you. So afterward, he talks to you about it and you both decide to not do that over. He tried it, it just wasn’t his thing.
Nick:
No.
Piper:
Piper can’t decide whether she’s more hurt or angry, regardless, she’s not a fan. All of a sudden, all the women she sees you talk to make her feel jealous and she starts to think more seriously about having you watch her have sex with someone else. But much as with Gage, this is more a means to make you jealous than anything else. So when, one day, her eyes land on a particularly handsome guy that just sauntered into Diamond City, she takes you up on your offer after all. She’s surprised to see you were sincere about your kink, no matter how much you told her you were, and she can’t deny how aroused she is by seeing you jerk off while her pussy is being penetrated by some other guy.
Maybe this could become more than a one-time thing after all.
Preston:
Preston is in shock when you ask if you can watch him have sex with another woman and won’t be able to hear your explanation anymore. You want to what? Why? And where was he supposed to find a second woman who wants to have sex with him? Yes, before even he was aware of it, he was already considering it. But then he remembers how awkward his first time with you was, and he really doesn’t want a repeat of that.
If you ask him whether he wants to watch you have sex with someone else, he’ll just feel betrayed by you. So in the end, his answer will be no regardless.
X6-88 (I always think of X6 as asexual, so I’m rolling with it):
X6 really doesn’t care about sex. He engages in it with you to keep you happy, but he could do fine without it. When you ask him whether you can watch each other have sex with other people, he feels like you’re pushing your luck.
“I don’t see how that would benefit either of us.”
He’ll refuse to have sex with another woman just to get you off - he can do that himself just fine, thanks. And though he agrees to let you have sex with someone else as he watches, it’s a really awkward experience for everyone as he just sits there, unimpressed and bored.
What are the companions reactions to twin soles (so, technically not soles??) who finish each other's sentences and just do Creepy Twin Shit™.
Thank you for the request! Now that I read it again, however, I didn't do what you asked for... your request made me think of the twins on TLC who constantly try to talk in unison but are terribly bad at it, and I went with that, sorry! Still hope you like it because I had so much fun writing this! (Also sorry for taking literal years to write this)
Cait:
Cait will be instantly annoyed at it and is not afraid to let them know.
“Yeah, quit that already, it’s not cute.”
Codsworth:
If this is a new post-war thing, Codsworth will be very concerned, but he’ll just laugh it off awkwardly whenever it happens.
“Yes… haha… that’s right, sirs/mums.”
Curie:
Plain confused: “Why do you do that? Why not just listen to what the other has to say?”
Danse:
Danse will be creeped out, but he’ll try to hide it by sounding annoyed instead. However, he will most likely not offer the twins a spot on his team in Cambridge.
Deacon:
He’s heard tales of the twins, but only good stuff, so you can imagine the disappointment when they come knocking on the Railroad doors only to discover that they are actually weirdly off-putting.
“Ah man, if only you were actually good at speaking in sync, imagine the things we could pull off. Well anyway, welcome to our little freakshow, and I think you, my friend, might just top Tinker Tom.” And he’d silently add a sarcastic "hurray".
Gage:
“Look, we can’t have two Overbosses, that’s not how it works,” Gage says, already full-on annoyed that even the very start of his new Overboss plan didn’t go according to plan.
“We do a- everything together. We’re bas- basically one person.”
“We do everything together. We’re act- basically one person.”
The twins say in semi-unison, constantly looking at each other to make sure they say the same thing but still failing half the time.
“Oh for the love of- cut that shit out! Why the hell did I help ya’ll out against Colter?”
Hancock:
Hancock completely ignores the weird twin stuff, mostly because he thinks he’s so high on jet he’s hallucinating one of the two. The only thing is… if he’s hallucinating a second person, then why are they so bad at talking in unison?
Longfellow:
Longfellow has about enough of the twins the moment they first open their mouths. He won’t want to talk to them after that, but if he happens to cross paths with them, he won’t hesitate to insult them either.
“You one of them lunatic rad freaks? You’d fit right in.”
MacCready:
“Yeah, whatever you say, boss, as long as I get my share of the money at the end.” He says at first, but after traveling with them for a spell, he won’t be able to handle it anymore and part ways – not even caring if he gets his money or not.
Nick:
Deep, irritated sigh. “We get it, you two are twins. What more do you have to prove to anyone?”
Piper:
Absolutely flabbergasted during the interview. Piper is unsure whether she should say anything about this weird behavior or not, she decides to stay quiet and stares at her notes from the interview in semi-shock and with a heap of regret.
Preston:
“So which one of you is going to be the general?”
The twins look at each other.
“We wou- will only become general if we can do it together.”
“We will- will only be… become general if we can do it together.”
Preston will be speechless for a moment. His first instinct is to explain why that isn’t possible, but he quickly realizes any such attempt will be futile anyway and gives up.
Strong:
It can either go one or two ways here. Either he's focused on them being twins which he'll perceive as something positive: "Humans look alike! Like Strong and brothers look alike! Good!
Or he's focused on the talking, which (as we all know) is bad: “Humans talk too much! Humans should fight!”
X6-88:
“So which one of you is Father’s parent?”
“We are both his mother.”
“We are both his mother.”
The twins say with much difficulty in syncing their lines. X6-88’s disappointment was immeasurable, but he sure was glad Father had been taken away from his mother(s?) and was raised inside the Institute instead. If Father insisted on keeping the twins around, X6-88 would question Father's objectivity, but he would follow orders as always and keep his opinion to himself.
