Terry casually glances at each item when you bring it out, giving each an appraisal by the time you set it down on the counter. He even adds up the total value as he goes, showing off quite the math skills. It may have been simple addition, but the effortless speed in which he does it is pretty impressive. With the ones you're for sure selling out of the way, you then ask for information and maintenance, in which he nods, willing to do this. You bring out the milspec 9mm first, making his eyes light a little as he picks it and gives it a once over. When you pull out the Vortex Crossfire though he practically forgets out the fancy 9mm. His eyes light up, the man clearly very interested in the rifle. He puts down the milspec 9mm and picks up the rifle, holding it in a standard low grip before raising it to a shooting position, making sure not to point it your way. He looks through the scope for a bit, tweaks with the scope, works the bolt over once or twice after letting out the 6 shot magazine it had. After a minute of playing around with it he sets it down on the counter and stares at it for a moment, giving the weapon an appreciative whistle. "One sec.", he says.

He turns around and heads to one of the heavy steel lockers behind him, but when he opens it this one is filled with books and magazine. He begins to peruse it, clearly looking for something specific, and it doesn't take you look to realize it was a huge collections of fire arms books, ranging from technical manuals to the ever popular Gun's n Bullets Magazine... just about every issue of it too by the looks of it! After about another minute he pulls one out, and flips through the pages until he finds what he wants. "There we go... Vortex Crossfire.", he says, before bringing the book over and showing you an prewar advertisement of the rifle. "One of a limited series of rifles targeted at the kind of rich collector types. Only around 5000 made, meant for hunting bigger game like bears or more exotic things that used to exist overseas. Meant for the well off gun collector. They cost 23,000 dollars!", he explains, before looking it over again. "I've actually seen one before, but it was weathered and beat up like a lot of things. This one is in perfect condition though, not even so much as a fleck of missing bluing or a single scratch! Must've been in a sealed gun locker when you found it, or at least not that long ago before you found it. It's a fantastic find.

"The pistol meanwhile, well it's definitely less impressive but still pretty good. It's a P229 model used by prewar police. This one has an added red dot sight, muzzle brake, under barrel laser, and professional gripping. It doesn't shoot any harder but it is lightweight, and has so little kick that it's really easy to aim.", he then adds.

When you ask about maintaining your 10mm and trusty bolt action he nods, before telling you the total of what you wanted to sell currently. "So far with the guns and ammo you want to sell I'm willing to give you 588 caps. However since you've brought in a very special piece I'll make you an offer for it. I'm willing to give you 2300 caps for the Vortex Crossfire.", he then offers. You nearly wheeze at that, not sure if you've ever sold such a high value item before. However the Vortex Crossfire has a straight upgrade to your firepower that you'd likely need given some of the things you might be going up against in the future... then again Terry did have a lot of guns. Maybe you could get something more common but just as damaging?

[Soru]

While Joy had a feeling the Vortex Crossfire rifle would get his attention she was still surprised by his reaction as if she just brought him some sort of legendary treasure. When he gave it a whistle Joy had a feeling that this rifle was much more valuable than she originally thought as he then puts it down and has her wait for a moment as he goes through a locker of books and magazines. It only takes her a moment to recognize them as an assortment of fire arms books and magazines, and quite a bit collection as well that seemed well organized too as it seemed like he had ever issue of Gun's n Bullets in there. He eventually pulls one out and shows her a page that displayed the Vortex Crossfire on it. "Yeah, the condition I found it was surprising since I got it from a raider den. I assumed either they just found it or forgot about it in the corner behind some stuff where I found it." She tells him a bit about where she came across it.

Then he gets to the pistol that he pretty much ignored when he saw the rifle. "I see... Would you say it's better than my 10mm? I guess I could carry both but I might try to carry less if possible." She tells him as while the 9mm was modified well the 10mm was a bigger bullet so she assumed it is stronger, though being lightweight with little recoil makes the 9mm rather appealing too.

Then he makes a deal on the Vortex Crossfire, an offer that nearly made her wheeze in shock. She's never made that amount all at once before, and certainly not on any single item too. However she did plan on using it for the stronger things she might face, like super mutants or deathclaws but the offer was extremely tempting. "That's... quite a lot to bed honest. Though I was planning on using it since I might be encountering some strong things soon. But tell you what; this seems much more valuable to you than me since you said it's more of a collector's item. Anything less rare than this that you can provide that packs around the same amount of punch?" She offers. In her time as a scavenger Joy has often come across items that were much more valuable to collectors or certain individuals than other people, like that time she encounter this person that bought Nuka Cola related items from her at a high price. What a strange lady she thought at the time. This situation isn't much different; this rifle was much more a collector's item than a weapon to be used often so it might be better in his hands than hers. "Considering how rare this is and the condition I assume there's something you can provide in addition to a large sum of caps. I mostly just need something to help me keep the big things away, a good addition to my hunting rifle and pistols."

[jondude]

"Honestly the 10mm bullet does do a little more damage technically, but with such a slight increase in size it barely makes any real difference. What you might notice slightly better is that the 10mm can retain velocity for a little bit longer, meaning you can use it at slightly longer range. However at the distance most people use hand guns... well long range is hardly the point for a hand gun. As it stands I'd definitely recommend you keep the 9mm over your 10mm. But I also have a vast collection of furniture and add-ons to make your 10mm better. No matter what though the 10mm will pretty much always be a little heavier, plus kitting it out will be a little pricey. Probably somewhere between 200 to 500 caps depending on how crazy you want to go with it.", Terry explains.

When you ask about something to potentially replace the Vortex Crossfire though he just grins a little. "But of course. Allow me to present some competitive options.", he says, then goes around and starts grabbing some weapons, carrying them back and presenting them one by one.

"The first is the classic US military M4 combat rifle.", he starts, introducing a blacked out gun that had a few scratches but seemed pristine otherwise. "Chambered in 5.56mm it won't do as much damage as thew Vortex Crossfire or your Hunting rifle per shot. But what it lacks in stopping power it makes up for in capacity. With thirty rounds standard in the mag and the ability to go fully auto, you'll find that it'll be able to solve most problems very effectively, especially warms. Though it will still struggle against harder targets like deathclaws, super gators, sentry bots, etcetera.", he explains. "Probably one of the most moddable and lightweight platforms you'll find, with incredibly common ammunition. Comes with a foregrip, adjustable stock, 2x scope, and canting iron sights. 1000 Caps."

"The next weapon...", He then says, placing the M4 down and picking up another bigger meaner looking rifle, this one covered in a mostly intact but slightly chipped woodland camo pattern, "This is a FN Scar 17S Marksmen rifle. Though most just call it the Scar DMR since most aren't able to discern the slight differences between models. This was a civilian sold rifle back in the day, so it doesn't have fully automatic fire. It does have better punch firing 7.62mm though, and can interchange rounds to use the 308. as well. It has less capacity at 20 rounds, and is notably heavier. A nice middle ground weapon, it'll do as much damage as your hunting rifle, but won't quite have the same reach, but unless you're frequently having engagements at a 600 meters or more you probably won't notice that. Like the the M4 it is very moddable: it comes with a 2x scope that can tilt to let you use iron sights, and a fore grip. Also 1000 caps."

"And the third...", he says, then shows you a long lever action rifle, this one made of blacked out steel and carbon fiber with a long sight rail on the top. "This here is a Marlin Dark Series model 1903. It shoots the same 338. Winchester magnum rounds as the Vortex crossfire and has a slightly larger capacity at 6 rounds in it's tube magazine. It'll punch just as hard as the Vortex Crossfire within 500 meters, but the shorter barrel length will make the bullet a little slower after that. Same deal with accuracy. However, given that most things do like to get up close and personal with pretty things such as yourself, I wouldn't worry about extreme long range engagement distances. Close range will probably serve you better, and this will do that just fine. Price is 1100 caps. 1200 to 1300 if you'd like to put a nice sight on it."

As he puts that one down there he does add one last thing. "Now these are what I would consider competitive options while still allowing you to turn a nice profit. However I could offer you things like... an M249: Belt fed machine gun in 5.56mm with 200 round box mags. Fifty caliber rifles. Hell even a minigun! Though you don't strike me as the type that wants to lug around a 55 pound when fully loaded weapon. These kinds of options however... well with the Vortex Crossfire to trade, you won't be losing money by any means since you'd be upgunning by a lot, but you'll basically be spending everything I'm offering you, and maybe then some. Just something to consider."

[Soru]

"Hmm... While the 9mm seems better overall... That little extra punch and range has helped me time and again... But I think I'll hold on to both, incase one jams. Do you any pistol holsters for 9mm, and for my left side since I'll keep them on different hips." She tells him after he gave his opinion on the two pistols. She'll hold on to the 10mm for the extra range and damage but the 9mm will be used when she needs better accuracy and recoil.

Then he starts to pull options for something that can compare to the Vortex Crossfire, bringing out three options and tells her about each one though blushes lightly at the comment about how things like to get up close and personal with someone like her. Once he was finished with the three options he also mentions some other options to consider. "Hmm...As fun as using those might be I'm not one to carry such heavy and ammo consuming weapons. I try to travel at least somewhat light since I'm a scavenger." She looks over the three before looking at the third option, the lever action rifle.. "I think I'll take this one; I might run into some... big things around here and incase I ever run into one of those gatorclaws I've heard so much about... I want something with more damage. How much would it be to modify it for a bit better range and a scope like the one from the Scar DMR? I might like to take things out at a distance before they see me. Though I'm open to opinions about how to go about that." She asked him as she leans over the counter a bit to better look at the weapon which unintentionally shows off her breasts a bit within the tiny bikini top.

[jondude]

"Nothing wrong with having a back up plan. I can certainly sell you a holster for the 9mm. I can you a basic one for 20 caps, or a slightly nicer one for 30 with a couple of small zipper pockets for small items and a hook for a small tool like a screwdriver or a grenade. And of course you can still give your 10mm some upgrades, if you'd like. Just let me know.", Terry says.

When you explain that you like to travel light though Terry nods sagely. "Fair enough miss, though to be fair it's only the minigun that weighs that much. The machine gun and anti material rifles are only about 15 pounds when loaded compared to it, so plenty manageable still. But still heavier and bulkier then any of these. Just food for thought!", he explains. When you pick the lever action though he gives you a small smile, nodding before putting the other two back on racks behind the counter. "The Marlin 1903 .338 it is then. A good choice."

Curious about some additional scopes though you ask the question and lean over the counter a bit, unintentionally showing your big breasts as they strain against the two small bikini top. Even though you've had some time to calm down after that encounter in the alley with those scum bags, your nipples kind of always stuck out prominently against the fabric, especially when you lean such as this. You may notice or you may not, but Terry's eyes flick down briefly to your bust.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

CHA roll: 13 + 3 = 16 (Success!)

His eyes seem to hang there for only a couple seconds before they flick back up to meet your eyes. "We can certainly do that. I got a few different makes and models. I can give you some 2x scopes for 50 caps, some 4x scopes for 75, but that's about it with the sight rail for the lever. It's not all that long, so it's be hard to fit something like what the Vortex Crossfire has with it's 10x scope. I can however giving you a tilting option that will also allow you to put a red dot sight on so you can you have two optics on at once like M4 or Scar had.", he explains as he starts pulling various sights from underneath the counter. "I'll propose four options. A single tilting 2x scope that'll let you use your iron sights: 50 caps. A single tilting 4x scope for 75 caps. A red dot sight that you can put in front of the scope for 30 caps plus the price of the scope you want. And...", he trails off, before pulling out a black squarish looking scope, "Since I'm feeling a little generous, a red dot paired with with this 4x recon scope that can highlight targets. Normally this scope is about 200 on it's own, but I'll offer it to you with the red dot for 125 since you've brought in a truly special piece today."

[Soru]

"Oh, I'll take that nicer one." She said when he told her of a nicer holster that can hold small tools and a grenade. "As for the 10mm, just some maintenance for today. It's been reliable for me though has been jamming a bit recently, probably from over use recently. But I'll probably get some upgrades for it once I see the comparison of the two pistols in action." She said to him before they move on to the new rifle for her.

"I know, but the ammo usage on the machine gun is a bit high for my liking and well, the anti-material rifle is tempting but I think the other options are a bit better for me at the moment." Joy tells him when he gave her some notes on the other options he had for her. As she was looking over the lever action rifle she noticed his gaze was a bit low for a moment but not on the rifle and blushes lightly when she realizes her breasts are on display at the moment. He then gives her options for the scopes and is happy to hear about a discount for the red dot with recon scope for a discount. "Oh, I'll go with that then if you're giving me a deal. And the recon scope tilts too? Because having the option to switch between scope and sights will be very useful." She said as she smiles from what she is getting so far.

[jondude]

"Yes the recon scope tilts too, and is much easier to sight then typical scopes too boot. I'll attach them for you.", Terry says before putting the scopes on place on the lever action and tightening them down. From there he fiddles with them a little, making minor adjustments so the recon lines up with the red dot easily, then does a brief little demonstration on how to make the recon scope tilt out of the way. "Like so...", he says.

With the transaction seemingly nearly done he does a final total. "Okay... so... 2300 caps for the Vortex Crossfire, and 588 caps for everything else, thats... 2888 caps, minus 1225 for the Marlin 1903 plus scopes, and... minus... mmm... 25 caps for weapon maintenance. 5 caps for the hunting rifle since it's in pretty good shape. 20 caps for the 10mm handgun since it's definitely seen some action. Comes out to you making a respectable 1638 caps. Gimme a moment here.", Terry says, and begins counting out your money. It takes him a minute, but soon he slides a small pile of caps across the counter. You can't help but feel a little giddy at the sight of it, the amount nearly doubling your cash.

"I'll need about 10 minutes with your hunting rifle and 10mm to get them maintained and up to snuff. If you have any other shopping to do elsewhere feel free to go. I promise your guns are safe with me.", Terry then says.

[Soru]

Even with the new weapon, repairs, and new holster for the 9mm Joy was still walking away with a fat sum of caps which almost doubled what she already had. Looking at the pile caps she smiles with a bit of glee; it was rare to see such a stack of caps all at once. Eagerly she takes the caps as she lets him take the Vortex Crossfire and her two main weapons for repairs. "I can believe that, considering your interest in guns and your security." She said when he promised that her guns will be safe. "I'll be back in a bit; going to see if I can... fix my clothing situation." She tells him once she had her pack back on. "I'll be back soon."

Joy leaves the gun store and heads to the place called The Gift Shop which she head sells clothes and hopes that they have something decent that will fit her new body because walking around in this small bikini is not ideal if she's going to be doing a job soon.

[jondude]

"Mmhmm. You stay safe out there. See you soon.", Terry replies, starting to dissemble your hunting rifle and 10mm pistol as you leave.

With matters settled at the gun store you to the Gift Shop, eager to get some more useful clothing even if you've gotten to used to prancing about in a bikini for the most part. Heading inside you immediately notice that the shelves are definitely looking a little thin, and what is left is a big on the lighter side. You're not really surprised by this though, knowing the reason why. Speaking of when you head toward the counter you see Leena, the futa wolf girl from Devin's caravan who had helped you recover Devin's brahmin. Her rags gone, she's know wearing what appears to be long cargo shorts that reach to her knees, a pair of combat boots, and a open leather jacket in which underneath appears to be a black bikini top. Granted though her bikini top seemed a little more well suited to her admittedly large size then yours was, which after your transformation was barely bigger then a micro bikini top.

"Hey Joy! Getting some shopping in? There should still be some good options left for you.", Leena asks in a friendly manner. Meanwhile the two clerks behind the counter, a young red headed woman and a slightly woman with long black hair nod. "Yes welcome! We're definitely a little under stock at the moment, but we still have some options left. We can also do our best to repair or tailor and no longer fitting clothing, as we can make custom pieces, but it is fairly expensive and it'll take sometime for us to make it."

[Soru]

When she enters the store Joy frowns lightly when she notices that the shelves were looking a bit light though she knew the reason why and wasn't surprised. 'Maybe I should have focused on clothing first...' She thinks to herself before noticing Leena in a new outfit. "Hey Leena. Yeah, I'm hoping for something decent and maybe get my old duster fixed up." She said before he attention turns to the shopkeepers behind the counter. "Well... Can you at least fix this duster here?" She asked as she pulls out her damaged duster. Then she pulls out the jeans and shorts she had on her. "These no longer fit me. Can you show me my options for what can fit me? I want something a bit better than this bikini, which used to fit me better before the changes."

[jondude]

The red head hums when you show her your poor beat up duster, but eventually nods. "Yeah I can fix it. Not sure if it'll fit you super great now though.", she asks you. "I'd hate to charge you for repairs only for you to be unable to use it. But if you want to be safe I can take some measurements of you and we can determine if I can tailor it to your size of it's more worth your time to get something to replace it.", she explains.

When you bring out your no longer fitting clothing though the older raven haired woman speaks up. "Yeah I think we still got a few options left. None overly so durable unless you want to commission something, but certainly a little more covering then what you are now. However I can already tell you with your current... endowments, most of the shirts we have are either or going to be pretty tight on the chest, or shirts that are way to loose since they are XXL men's sizes. But we do have some tube tops. A little more racy, but cheap and easily replaceable. As for pants... probably not? You have some pretty wide hips. But I think we can give you some nice polyester or cotton shorts. Decently cheap, and nice and stretchy around the waist. Pretty hard unrepairable though. What we do have though is a lot rolls of leather and cloth that can make into some much more wasteland survivable for you, custom tailored to you. But it'll be more expensive then off the shelf stuff."

"And bikini's! We got a lot of those, all sorts of styles! Never hurts to have spares!", a sudden third voice says. A pretty blonde woman peers out from a doorway behind the counter, a big beaming smile on her face. She gives you a thumbs up then promptly disappears, and then you hear the older girl sigh and put a hand to her forehead and the redhead girl just rolls her eyes. "She's right, we do have lots of those. They are pretty easy to make given you don't need a lot of materials and all.", the redhead tells you.

"Well good luck with your shopping Joy. I'm going to get some grub. See you tomorrow hopefully!", she says, referring to the "we fucking made it" party Devin was going to hold after everyone had a chance to get their bearings today. It occurs to you this would also be a good opportunity to ask if Leena might be interested in joining you with Liam's crazy scheme.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Two short things, firstly:
Clothing with the modifier of "tight" will make enemies more likely to engage to stripping attacks, but have a slightly harder chance at succeeding.
Clothing with the modifier of "loose" will make enemies less likely to engage in stripping attacks, but if they do they will have advantage(Best result of two dice rolls) since there is a lot of easily grabable material

Second is I said that Liam wanted you to meet him tomorrow at the Mariott with any other potentially interested people. I think I sort of implied that was when the quest would start, but that is not the case. You're just trying to gather interested parties for tomorrow for a planning session so to speak. Liam's excursion won't happen till probably the day after. I just want to make sure you know you don't have to pick between the big quest or Devin's party.

[Soru]

Joy was a bit disappointed by the selection that didn't include too many choices for her. "Well I'm not against you guys taking my measurements, especially if it'll help my Duster fit better. Was really disappointed when some damn bugs tore it up; damn insect had a really strong grip on my clothes. The last shirt is in scraps of cloth right now..."

"Oh, Leena, before you go I want to ask you something..." She gives the wolf a short version about the job Liam wanted to do. "So yeah, if you're interested he want to meet at noon tomorrow to discuss the job. So if you're interested just meet us at the Mariott's bar area at noon." After Leena gave her response she turns back to her clothing options.

"Hmm... Well not sure how durable my clothes really need to be but... a bikini at least suited to my... new form would be a nice start. After that... guess I'll take a tube top, and if I can't get new pants... I guess that I'll have to try some shorts then since I guess it'll take a bit to make something more durable." She tells the women behind the counter. "Though I might be interested in something more durable for something I'm planning for in a couple days. How much would that be?"

[jondude]

"Oh! Um yeah! Okay sure! Can never have too many caps! Especially since I just spent most of mine gearing back up. I'll see you then!", Leena says, then heads out and let's you get back to shopping.

"Yeah that's fair. That bikini do be looking a little... snug.", The redhead says, glancing down at your top and the notable bumps of your nipples. "Alright. A new bikini will be 25 caps. A tube top is 25 caps, and some shorts will be 35. Not much in the way of physical protection, but it'll hopefully greatly reduce chance of some random asshole deciding to smack your ass or fondle you in public. The pants and short meanwhile... huh. Good condition and clean, but just fit anymore after the whole... event with the caravan. Hmm... Honestly you're coming out a little ahead here. 108 caps minus 85... 23 caps in your favor for now."

"As for more durable options...", The older raven haired woman starts. "Normally we'd have some stuff mostly premade, with a little bit of tailoring for fitting. The rest of your caravan cleaned pretty much all of that out. What we do have though are lots of bolts of materials. We got rolls of cotton and polyester and denim that come from an old textiles factory that used to make tens of thousands of of these things a day, so we're pretty well supplied. But we also got brahmin leather, big horner leather, Gator leather, rad scorpion chitin, even some carbon fiber sheets. All sorts of things. We can use one material, or we can use a combination of all sorts of things. The choice is yours. Price will depend on what we use and the size of your item, a brand new duster being more expensive then a jacket for example. Most reasonable custom requests will usually be about 200 to 300 caps, but if you really want go all out and use deathclaw hide with ballistic armor inserts with albino radscorpion chitin knee pads and custom silk embroidery you can get to the 1000 plus range really quickly.

"But, no need to decide that all this instant. Why don't we get you on back and measure you up and see if we can actually refit and recover your duster first? Miss... Joy? That was what Leena called you right?", The raven haired woman says as she raises a section of counter and invites you to come into the fitting area.

[Soru]

"Yeah, I didn't even get to wear those shorts after I bought them and the pants were fixed up right before I was changed." She explains the condition of the clothes that no longer fit her before they started giving her options for things they can make for her.

The last thing they said sounded really good but she didn't want to spend the majority of her newly gained caps so quickly. "Geez, that all sounds like a really good and cool outfit but a bit much for me, especially if anything happens to me that will cause me to get a new wardrobe again. Mostly I would like something lightweight and wouldn't tear too easily or be easy to fix up if damaged." She explained her needs a bit to them and explains that due to her traveling and her profession as an scavenger she prefers something that will go along with that.

"Joy is correct, yes." She nods her head before going to the fitting area so they could measure her. She takes off her pack and waits for them to start.

[jondude]

"Excellent. I'm Rory, the redhead is Tanya, and Blonde is Gwen. Come on back and you'll get you sorted out!", The older woman, Rory, says.

You follow her into the back and are immediately greeted with loads of clothing racks and hangers the vast majority of which are empty while others simply contain half made products. In the corner you see a large textile work bench where you see the blonde woman Gwen sitting and working with a large sewing machine of some kind, turning small bits of fabric, leathers, and string into various kinds of bikini's humming a jaunty little tune to herself as she goes. Going through here Rory leads you to a large room then filled with bins and bolts of sorts of textile materials, the middle of the room largely opened with a couple one foot tall stages.

More curious though is a large one way mirror taking up one wall. You recall seeing it on your way in and though that was just a regular mirror were people could try out some clothing and see how they looked. What it actually was though was a one way one, and it allowed whoever was working in the room to also keep an eye on the store from a different angle then those behind the counter. Smart enough from a business perspective, and as you recall memories of what happened in the vault, well... at least your were on the other side of the glass this time.

"Stand on one of the stages please. It doesn't matter which.", Rory requests as she heads to a bunch near the door and grabs a measuring tape along with paper pad and pen. "When you're on just go ahead and lift your arms up in a T-pose like manner."

Joy soon finds herself behind the counter and then in the back area where it seems to be one of the work areas for making new clothes, though it seems that Gwen is only interesting in making all sorts of bikinis at the moment. She notices the window near her before realizing it's a large one way mirror, making her blush as she remembers her last encounter with one of these.

"Sure." She nods her head and goes to one of the stages to stand before holding her arms out. "So I guess it's normal for you guys to have to deal with this kind of thing; pack of newly transformed people needing new clothes."

"Well... I wouldn't say it's normal quite yet, but it's rapidly getting there." Rory answers as she gets gets behind you and starts to unravel her tailors measuring tape a little. "It's been about five years since it happened the first time, the next one was 8 months after that. These days it however its happening every other month. If it continues at this rate... within a year or two it could happen multiple times a week! People will be rightly too scared to come here anymore. Well unless they want to be transformed that is. I've met a few people were doing caravan runs hoping the vaulters would change 'em! This torn relies on the I5 for trade, so if it dries up... well a lot of people might to move shop to Disney or further west."

After she says her piece she stands cloth a puts her measuring tape around your waist to take the first measurement. As soon as her hand touch your fine coat of fur though she trills a little bit. "Oh wow! You're so silky soft feeling! hmm!", she says, brushing her fingers along your hips for a moment before seemingly recalling she was working. "Oh! Sorry about that. Despite doing this basically all day it's kind of surprisingly how different a lot of you feel. All very soft in general, boys too, but everyone feels different in their own way. It's a nice little charm to your new forms I suppose.", she says as she withdraws her hands and writes down your hip measurement. From there she goes a little further down, putting the tape around your right thigh, and then to your calf and ankle, then measures the length of your leg from your ankle to your waist. "Makes anthros very nice to... work with."

Well that last sentence certainly had a bit of a... commanding tone to it.

Rory makes a few more leg measurements, but then suddenly stands on the stage with you. She wraps the tape measure around your hips then, getting the size for the thinner part of your proverbial hourglass figure. "Tell me miss Joy. How have you been adapting to your new form? Any big differences or is it just a new coat of paint so to speak?", Rory asks, her breath tickling the back of your neck.

"I see... I do remember encountering... I think she was a reptile, lady on my way here talking about the transformations in a positive light. I was just heading this way since I heard how much scavengers like me can make here. I didn't expect to actually run into those vault guys though." She said after Rory answered her question and explained how often the transformations started to how often it happens in recent times.

Then the measuring starts and she blushes a bit as she feels Rory's fingers through the fur on her hips and from the comments on how soft her feels and how it adds charm to her and the others who have been transformed. She takes a moment to calm herself before Rory continues, this time with her legs and Joy couldn't help but notice the bit of tone with how she said anthros are nice to work with. After a moment she finds Rory on the stage with her and she gulps as she felt the tape around her waist with the woman right behind her. "W-Well... I do have better hearing and smell now, like a canine would... My hide seems tougher, got hit by some pellets but the skin didn't break. I'm not sure how durable I am but I'm not about to let myself get shot just to test it. Outside of that, maybe a bit stronger but not so much I can overpower someone with a good amount of muscle or if they are on chems." She explains but keeps out the the more sexual related changes like how her libido and sensitivity seem higher.

It was a cat girl actually, haha :P

"I see! It seems even within groups people get changed in slightly different ways. I wonder how they go about choosing what they change about people? Is it random, or is there a method to it? Hmm...", Rory says, holding the tape against your waist a little longer. She holds it a little longer then the other measurements, but given that she was on her own maybe she was holding the tape with one hands and trying to write the result with the other? Whatever the case though she moves on shortly enough, soon hiking the measurement up to just under your breasts.

"Still I've been measure you new canine folk pretty much all day now. I've heard all sorts of... interesting things.", Rory continues even as she write down another quick measurement. Next thing you know and she hikes the measurement up to your bust, not really at all shy with her hands as her palms briefly brush up against the sides of your breasts as she maneuvers the tape into place. As it was it basically rests right over top your nipples, and though the pressure is light you are acutely aware of the tape as it ever so gently squeezes against you. No matter how it felt though this was probably one of the more measurements she was taking. It would basically be how she'd make sure any shirts, jackets, or dusters would be able to actually contain your breasts! "Yeah... certain, mmm... anecdotes from an abandoned fire station used for shelter last night.", she adds.

As she says that she stands close, very close. Enough so that you can feel her hips brush against your ass gently. What is more surprising however is that the very clear bulge in her pants that was gently pressing against your butt. It was quite clear to you then that this Rory woman was packing a little something extra downstairs! It seemed you had gotten her a little... hot and bothered as it were, but since she had been measuring the others from Devin's caravan all day maybe she was a little pent up about it. Given her sudden forwardness though... was this maybe some other subtle thing the vaulters had changed about you? Maybe the lingering effects from your earlier encounter with Hector was playing with this woman's mind? ...or maybe she was just horny? The wasteland certainly did that to lots of people long before these mystery vaulters did that was for sure.

It would be... easy to give in and have some fun. Hell maybe even get some discounts out of it! But you could also try to steer the woman back on track and snap her out of it so to speak.

"Honestly I have no idea. I was drugged for most of my time with them so I the time between getting captured and waking up near where I was captured is mostly a blur." She said as she purposely leaves out the one part she was very awake for, with the assaultron and the dogs.

Soon her breasts were being measured and she couldn't help but gasps a bit as she felt Rory's palms brush against the sides of her breasts while the tape was pressing against her nipples through the tiny bikini top. Her face turns more read as she mentions the fire station and felt the woman standing right against her backside. "Wait, what?" She said in response before her eyes widen as she felt something against her rear, a bulge which made her tense up. "Wait... huh?" She stands there frozen, unsure how to react right now as she felt that bulge rubbing against her plush rear a bit, the woman with something extra getting to really feel how soft she is back there now since Joy's ass was mostly exposed from how little the bikini covered. She gulps as she tries to glance back at Rory. "Um... Are you... d-done measuring here?" She stammers out.
