Fallout: Sunshine Wasteland (Soru)

[jondude]

Getting up quickly you head down stairs toward the bar, soon passing by another woman with dirty blonde hair who was heading up the stairs and to her room. You two exchange quick glances, but otherwise she keeps going her own way, not at all aware of your peaking.

Heading downstairs the bar is still fairly active, though seems to be winding down. The same bald handlebared mustache man is behind the bar counter, serving a drink a pair of regular unchanged people sitting on the end. Inside the bar, a group appears to be playing pool and another group playing poker, while a few other tables are occupied by small groups of friends simple socializing and drinking. Somewhat curiously you see a canine anthro girl you recognize from the convoy, though you never ended up talking too, serving drinks. Dressed in a simple tank top and tight short shorts its pretty clear like many she was just trying to make a few extra caps tonight to help recoup from the losses of losing all her gear on the road. You suppose if you really needed to or wanted too, you could consider such work in the future.

Alternatively though you could just head to the bar and get a snack or something. Maybe you could ask the bartender where he got a dog such as Kane?

[Soru]

Joy gives a quick glance to the woman she passes by but keeps going and tries to calm her heated up body a bit. Down in the bar she looks around, seeing people playing games or just socializing and all just enjoying themselves. It was a bit nicer than most bars she's been too, usually full of drunks causing trouble. She then spots a canine girl serving drinks and Joy recognizes her from the caravan but she doesn't recall ever talking to her before. The canine girl is probably working for extra caps, probably to replace lost gear, and Joy remembers the many times she's done odd jobs when she couldn't find good salvage to sell and jobs she could handle. Sure there's always job to kill mutant creatures but she was manly a scavenger, not an exterminator.

After looking around a bit she goes to the bar and sits down, now in more proper clothes and not a tiny bikini. "Hey, can I get some snacks please?" She asked the bartender as she sat down. Once he told her what was available and orders she asks him, "Hey, where did that dog come from? Kane, right? He seems... a bit weird for a place like this."

[jondude]

"Sure, we don't have a ton of variety but I do have a few things.", The bartender says, handing a little menu to peruse. Looking at it has some decent options though, such as fried pickles, or nachos with salsa. There was also pre-war stuff, such as freeze dried fruits or sealed potato chips.

Asking about Kane though the Bartender let's out a little wistful sigh, but rather then sad seems like he's recalling a rather good memory. "Truth be told I took him in from a similar group from what happened to yourselves. A little over five years ago now though. Was one of the very first kidnapped and transformed trade convoys those vault folks took, back when we suspect they hadn't nailed down their process yet. In those days some people were transformed and others only slightly, getting only ears and a tail and such. If you were lucky you might not be notably different at all. At the same time though, sometimes people would disappear from those convoys entirely. Failed experiments is the going theory to explain those.

"Anyway though, Kane was with them. Shivering and terrified despite being a rather big dog. He fits in well here though. Certainly is a... draw of his own... makes a little envious sometimes.", The bartender then says, very much implying he knows what a lot of his female customers like to do with Kane.

[Soru]

"Hmm... I'll try the nachos and then a bag of potato chips to munch on later." Joy orders before handing him back the menu. "Good selection, by the way. It's rare to find the selection I've been seeing in this town." She comments before the bartender tells her about Kane.

After hearing the story Joy wonders a couple things... Kane reminded her of the dogs that were used to... 'test' her when she was first transformed. Considering how... bold he is towards women maybe he was from the vault and also used to 'test' other transformed women. It was the only thing that made sense to her off the top of her head and would explain how skilled he was at pleasuring women. "I see..." Blushing lightly as the bartended seemed to know about Kane's antics. "Honestly can't see Kane looking terrified with his size and how... friendly he seems to be. At least he seems happy here now."

When Joy gets her food she decides to stay sitting at the bar, lightly snacking on her nachos and simply just enjoying her food. If nothing else happens by the time she finishes eating she plans to take her chips back to her room and get ready for bed.

[jondude]

"Thanks. We have decent options being on a major trade route here, even despite the danger. Though the selection might dry up if this vaulters keep scaring even from the highway. For now though things seem to holding...", the bartender explains as compliment the selection. He gives you the potato chips right away, while he starts putting together a few things for the nachos behind the counter, throwing chips onto a tray before opening a fridge and getting what appears to be already cooked containers of meat and along with some cheese and sprinkling it on top to make the nachos. As you comment about struggling to imagine Kane all scared, he puts the tray of nachos into an oven.

"Yeah believe it or not, he was though. Awfully skittish dog back then. Rather clumsy too. Sometimes he'd got spooked and and he'd be scrambling all over like he forgot how to run or something!", the man explains, chuckling a little at some memory.

18+ 1 = 19

Those are all some very curious choice of words. Kane had been scared after a vault attack, and seemed very clumsy, as if unused to his body. Given that this all happened back when these transforming raids first happened it's possible that he could just be from the vault. But could it be... could he be an experiment that instead went to far?

As your nachos are place in front of you you can't help but dwell on that a bit, munching away as your lost in thought. During this time nothing else really happens at the bar, so you pay the ten caps or so for the food and head back to your room, ready to get some decent sleep.

[Soru]

When hearing a bit more about Kane, certain words made something click in her head... He was found from around the time shortly after the vaulters began transforming people and didn't have the process down yet... The Bartender mentioned that some only had ears and/or tails... What if it went the opposite way, going too far. Is Kane... A person turned into a dog?! The thought alone made her feel a bit sick... but it did make a lot of sense if it was true. Maybe if she encounters Kane later on she might be able to test that theory of hers... At least something to keep in mind.

"Thanks for the food." She told the bartender once she finished her nachos before she heads back to her room, ready to get some sleep and push those thoughts away for now. Once in her room she strips off her shorts and shirt before deciding to also take off the bikini and sleep naked in the bed; it looked clean enough for her to sleep naked in it. Once under the covers she closes her eyes and tries to sleep after such a long day.

[jondude]

The bartender nods when you thank him for the food, but you pay the man ten caps or so for the food before heading back to your room to head to bed. Somewhat mercifully as you pass the shower room you don't hear any moaning anymore, though the shower was still running so it seemed like that raven haired girl was actually cleaning herself now.

In your room you lock the door then strip down, sighing happily as you lay down on a clean bed that was relatively soft and comfortable compared to most of the sleeping arrangements you had out while scavenging for look out in the wastelands. You slip into the covers, lay your head down on the pillows, and find sleep claims you within minutes. After all the physical activity of today, you're not shocked sleep finds you so readily.

Somewhat mercifully, your sleep is dreamless and uneventful. You do sleep for nearly ten hours though, and quite deeply! When you awake at first light you feel wonderfully refreshed and find yourself feeling fantastic, as if you can take on the world!

With everything that's happened to her today it only takes minutes before she falls asleep. Thankfully for her Joy's sleep is dreamless, no lewd dreams to make her toss and turn through the night, and ends up sleeping a bit late too. When she awakens she yawns and stretches a bit before checking the clock on the wall to see that she's slept for around ten hours. It's been a while since she's had such a deep sleep. She felt the benefits of such sleep too as she feels rather well rested, ready to take on the day!

I don't quite recall what perks she had so hopefully this one isn't the same

New Perk: Sex Appeal - Her body's sexy curves and large assets draws eyes and makes convincing others easier. When trying to barter or persuade gain a bonus towards success but also increases odds of being asked for sexual favors.

She dresses herself in her new clothes and gets her gear together before heading out, ready to get her day started. She had time before she meets with Liam at noon and then Devin's party later in the day. Joy remembers the notice board and decides to check it out, seeing if the radstag request is still there or if there was anything else new that she can get done before meeting up with Liam.

Amusingly, that basically is the same as one of the two you have already. You can see your perks on the first post/front page on your character sheet there! If you want, I can modify that one a little to include everything rather then just beasts. That being said though, I'll need you to think of something else for your new perk.

And don't forget to give me a special stat you'd like to increase by 1!

You get dressed in your still somewhat skimpy clothes, but given the ordeals of the last few days it feels rather conservative given to what you had to work with in the mean time. You sling on your pack, check your weapons, and then head out, eager to make some more money!

Heading over to that notice board from yesterday, the scene is much the same before with a bunch of people examining all the various notices. You look for the one you recall about the rad stag, and for a moment find yourself slightly disappointed as it seems to be missing, but soon discover why as you find a newly updated notice it! It seems the reward has gone up from 300 to now 500 caps! That's seems like a crazy amount to hunt a rad stag, so there had to be some kind of catch to it for sure. The notice says you should talk Miss Julia Kholer, who was a big horner rancher about a mile to the north east from here for extra details.
