((For the meme, I'm going to cheat here. Victor (yours truly), Sean (sad-sax-ghoul), Fox (a-commonwealth-fox), Asher.))

Send me another muse and I’ll tell you what kind of ship I think they could potentially have with mine.  [x]

HOO BOY!Okay, let me dive right in here, then.

Victor 

At first, he’s gonna scare the shit out of her. I’m sure he’s used to that, though. But once she found out he really didn’t mean her any harm, she’d be all about helping him out. She doesn’t know much about Super Mutants (other than they’re big and green and angry - a lot like the Hulk, but more murderous) but from what she’s heard most of ‘em didn’t choose to be what they are.So she’d be glad to be his friend (or at least a friendly acquaintance) if he can handle her eventual (gentle and well-meaning) questions about his ‘condition’.

Sean

Oh man, she’s gonna find him so fun and talented. She’ll also be curious as to how he’s gotten to where he has and what his life was like before the war. If they got close enough, she might even share some of her past with him (i.e. also being a ‘survivor’ of the war and the nukes). They’re bound to be fighty-friends, okay? No one wants to bother the jazzy ghoul and the friendly chick at the bar who have knocked out people twice their size.

Fox

He’s handsome, sarcastic, and can hold his own. Rori’s not going to develop a ‘crush’ so much as a not-so-subtle physical/personality attraction to him. Flirting will occur. I doubt they’d ever have a romantic relationship (he doesn’t seem the type?), but a friendship is possible (given Fox is open to the idea) or a ‘we’re not friends because he doesn’t like that term, but we’re gonna hang out and drink and make stupid jokes and maybe get into trouble and take on the occasional bounty together’ type relationship.

Asher

AHA.Rori is going to find Asher amusing and more bark than bite. Which is fortunate for him, as if he really seemed like a threat to her, she’d put him on his ass faster than he could blink. (She may actually do this should he push a little too far - either with herself or someone she knows/cares about).Oddly enough, they do get along for the most part. Rori likes a good dirty joke as much as Asher does, but Rori also understands when to stop - and she has no problem letting Asher know when he’s about to cross that point. He gets her to laugh when she needs it, and she gets him to shut up when he should.

((As is now custom, I cheat because I am lazy. For the meme: Victor, Tetsuo, Fox, Sean.))

Send me another muse and I’ll tell you what kind of ship I think they could potentially have with mine.

Obviously Holly finds Victor more than a little scary, and is very intimidated by him. At the moment she seems to be handling it alright. And while he’s being pleasant and nonviolent, she’s still very wary. She really doesn’t know a whole lot about Super Mutants, so sure he’s being rational and calm now, but will he always be that way? Will something trigger a sudden change in his behavior?

Though, to be fair to him, Holly wonders this about most people at one point or another. There is potential for them to be occasional scavving partners. I’m not sure she’d feel comfortable actively seeking him out for that kind of thing. She’s almost need to happen upon him, and just so happen to need assistance as well.

I can see Holly and Tetsuo developing a pretty decent business relationship. He asks her to find random things for his various projects, and she happily accepts. This could easily to lead to some sort of casual friendship, though she’ll try really hard to keep things professional and somewhat distant. As with everyone else, that could change though.They haven’t had much interaction so far, assuming you count asks, but from what I see in his bio and interactions with other characters, I fairly certain that Holly won’t like Fox too much. I’m sure she’d be happy to trade with him and such, but his general attitude may very well rub her the wrong way and she may end up being quite cold to him.I’m not sure where things might go with Holly and Sean. After their brief interaction, I think she’s decided that he’s alright. And if they crossed paths again she might say hi. She doesn’t care for bars usually, so dropping by The Third Rail is unlikely. Their interactions may be mostly limited to bumping into each other while out and about.

“you’re bleeding.”

The rifle was heavy in her hands, arms shaking from the strain it took to hold it aimed at the mutant. She had leveled it quickly, though cold fingers had yet to pull the trigger. Victoria worked to steady her breathing, her lungs aching protesting the effort.

Blood oozed from her shoulder, seeping through the heavy fabric of her coat like an ink stain.

“Your grasp of the obvious is impeccable.” She didn’t sound nearly as calm as she had been hoping.

💎 ((Just remember, the scale doesn't go negative.))

“Well...can’t say I ever found Super Mutants attractive. But then most of the ones I’ve run into were tryin’ to kill me. So...I guess if I consider that he never tried stovin’ my head in...I’d have to give him a three or four outta ten, insteada the usual zero.”

[blackwiidowsniper]

“Ever had something on the tip of your tongue, but the harder you try to remember it, the more it slips away?”

She looked up from picking at a stray thread on the sleeve of her coat, her idle thoughts of fixing the garment washed away by the question.

She blinked, giving it a genuine moment of thought.

“Not particularly. I tend to have the opposite problem, things I want to abandon always bubbling back to the surface no matter how hard I try to forget.” She looked to the mutant, curious. “I don’t suppose asking what you’re attempting to remember would be of any use, would it?”

[saltyspitfire]

“You’re going down. Grrr. That’s menacing, right?”

Ducking at the sight of a Super Mutant was a habit, and generally a good one. Taking one down on your own was possible, but tended to require a lot more firepower than what Holly had. Hiding didn’t always work of course. Sometimes she was spotted, and had to toss a couple of grenades before running from a furious, roaring brute or two. 

This one was different apparently. Not only was he speaking coherently but he seemed oddly unaggressive. 

Slowly, Holly shifted around, and peeked up over the heap of concrete and steel. She cleared her throat, and in an uncharacteristically meek voice said, “...Less menacin’ than bein’ beat all to hell by a sledge.”
