Today started like most days, wake up in Megaton, visit Aoria (Or whatever her name is) and skip out'a town to do some crazy shit for her lil' survival book she is cookin' up. She keeps sayin' she'll pay me, but its never in caps, always in stuff. Don't get me wrong, I loved the anti-rad-food-cleaner-amajig. It would just be a nice chance of pace to get some FUCKING MONEY.
Left Megaton around 12pm or so, headed North East to a place called "Mine field" Aoria wanted some live frag mines to inspect and wanted to see how dangerous it was hanging around live ones, not much to say about Mine field, some crazy old man on some ruins shottin' his way at some old cars, and a few houses, nothin' special. It was the trip back to Megaton which made today particularly interesting.
On my way back, I kinda' got lost... Wasn't paying halfamind's attention, ended up going some ways west for a bit and wouldn't you know it, I stumbled across something mighty creepy. Some four or five houses strung together from the outside by cheep metal and barbed wire to pose as some kind of fence, really laughable if you ask me. On my way around to the little bridge they got going to their happy lil' home, I got stopped by a guard. Place is called "Big Town", turns out the damn town is nearly empty. Why?
Super Mutants have been coming along and snatching everyone who lives here, not killin'em but takin'em away to... Somewhere, I heard about this from Uncle Joe. I guess this is one of the places they go to get more peps' to turn into Super Mutants. And fuck me senseless that isn't their only problem, aparently half the fucking town- Or at least what was half the fucking town got hauled off away by some Slavers. Not only that but when I asked where and why everyone would be coming here of all places to live it turns out everyone came from some shit hole called "Lamplight Village" or something, where when you turn 16 they shove you off to this ass of a place. Met a girl there, her name was Bittercup, and instead of outright insulting her name and ho she talked I humored her for quite a bit. Not after tow minutes of talking the crazy chick is hitting on me. Sweet kid but, god damn is she loose.
But Shit town to live in if you ask me.
So after talking around a bit the town asked me if I could go to this Super Mutant hide out and getting back their friends. Being the nice sap I am, I agreed, but from a price to be decided later. (Which in hinesight, was a terrible idea.) They told me they capped out at some old police station up further north. After a days or so travel, some bandits and a Yai Guai, I stumbled on "The small police station", the fucking thing was gigantic! A mile or so long at LEAST. But a job is a job so I hiked up the western side of the hill it was on and before I could get my hunting rifle out I was in more shit than a guy who had his colostomy bag ripped wide open on top of him.
I fucking booked it the hell out'a there. On my way out thought the path I used to get there was covered with Centuars, Super Mutants and a fucking Sentry Bot. I had to get creative.
So I jumped down and fell off the side of a cliff... And lived!
When I came to, I saw something I couldn't believe with my own eyes. A mall, if you'd even believe it. All boarded up from every way in and out. After finding the main gate, the place's guard stops me and gave me some serious attitude. Turns out I stumbled open Paradise City, home of the Slavers. After convincing this thug I wasn't a do gooder from god, we decided on a plan to get my inside. I do a little work for him, he lets me in. He wanted me to go out slavin' the lazy prick. So he gives me this gun called "The Mezmerzer" Some weird lookin' hand held TV that shots some kind of field or energy. Stuns whoever its aimed at, and sets off slave collars too. Said he'd give me 300 caps, and holy fuck did my equipment need some repairs. Sure would be a nice break from Aoria's Schematics and those random gizmos. So after thinking of either to go back to Big Town and enslave three of the people there, or rape the ass of Paradise. I figure its time for slavin'... But..
I get to the outskirts of Paradise and I can't fuckin' do it, so. I turn around, pull out my trusty 10mm. Pistol and figure I can get to work on paradise tomorrow.
