[whatwastelanders]

If they had a kid: Dana and Robin

[Prompt]

Name: Erin Walker Bailey Gender: Female General Appearance: Short, brown hair; brown eyes; grunge/punk-wastelander apparel. Personality: Sarcastic and anti-authoritarian to her very core; optimistic with a healthy dash of impulsiveness. Erin gets herself into (and fortunately out of) trouble with ease, constantly questioning the status quo in order to sate her curiosity. Special Talents: Charisma - persuasion and a quick wit is mostly what Erin depends on. She is capable of holding her own in a fight, but prefers pacifism. Who they like better: Robin. Who they take after more: Dana. Personal Headcanon: It was to no one's surprise that Erin took up a job with Piper at Publick Occurrences. It may have worried her mothers to near-death, but Erin was good at her job and even better at keeping herself from the brink of death. Once Piper retired, the newspaper was put into Erin's hands, so long as she promised to keep asking The Big Questions. Faceclaim:  Brigette Lundy-Paine

“Yeah, I think he was as drunk as us last night, so consider it collective amnesia.” (Robin, probably talking about Elvis)

[Prompt]

“Ugh, remind me not to drink with you guys anymore,” she said, practically cradling her hot mug of coffee in her hands, face held over the steam to warm her up. The night before had nearly been a blur, but there were a few stand out moments that had her stomach in knots with worry. But maybe no one would remember.

“It feels like I fell off a building and landed on my face.”

[vaultedcuriosity]

“Oh, hey. You’re up. Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you wanted to sleep in or not, so…” (Elvis)

[Prompt]

Abby offered him a sheepish smile and tucked some of her hair out of her eyes, embarrassment clear in her expression.

“Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to sleep in so long...” she apologized as she scooted by him to grab a coffee mug from the cabinet. “I guess I was more tired than I thought.”

“Apparently, I made out with some guy she liked right in front of her last night.” (Elvis)

[Prompt]

“Oof, tough break,” she said, taking a sip of her drink as she thought the situation over. “I mean... did you know she was interested in him to begin with? Could help erase some asshole points if you didn’t.”

[commonwealthcats]

“Don’t ‘what’ me. You know exactly what you’re doing, Dana.” (Elvis)

[Prompt]

“How dare you accuse me of doing anything other than being incredibly nice and kind and helpful to my friends,” she said, brows raised in shock. Her expression would have sold her innocence were it not for the mischievous tone her words had. With less kindness than she was touting, the mechanic turned Elvis around and pushed him towards the trailer Abby was staying in.

“Go on. Bring her dinner already.”

“Birthdays are just excuses to, like, eat cake and open presents and shit. There’s no real meaning behind a birthday.” (Elvis)

[Prompt]

“That’s what I’ve been telling her, but she refuses to listen,” Ben agreed, waving a hand in Dana’s direction. Dana, in turn, leveled a glare of frustration at Elvis.

“They do have meaning! It’s supposed to be your friends and family showing you how happy they are that you made it another year,” she countered, throwing a ball of crepe paper at Ben’s head, which bounced off his hair before hitting the counter.

“Even if you’re a Negative Nancy.”

[commonwealthcats]

“You want a coffee? 'Cause I could use a coffee.“

[Prompt]

“Yes, I would love coffee,” Dana sighed with relief, as if she had been waiting for Robin to suggest a break all along. Almost immediately, Dana dropped the rag she had been using to polish the Power Armor helmet and stood from her seat, stretching with a groan as she headed towards the kitchen.

“You want to grab a snack while we’re in there?”

[vaultedcuriosity]

“The docks can be dangerous. It’s not the sort of place you want to visit alone at night.”

[Prompt]

“Oh? I was planning on meeting somewhere there tonight,” she said, a frown settling on her face. She didn’t think Tyler would have set her up for danger and the boater had said she could stop by at any time. 

“But, um... hm, if you think it’s not a good idea, I can just go in the morning, I suppose.”
