GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Howdy. | 1 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatriceRussellTopic000 | Interested in working for the Garrets? | Neutral 50 | They already have that pig McCaffery working for them. Do they need another guard? | 2 |
Interested in working for the Garrets? | Neutral 50 | Still trying to convince me, huh? | 3 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 | Got any advice to share? | Neutral 50 | Feed a man for free, and he'll be back asking for more. | 4 |
Neutral 50 | Feed a man a bullet. You won't hear from him again. | 5 | ||
Got any advice to share? | Neutral 50 | Good, bad... The guy with the gun makes the rules. | 6 | |
Got any advice to share? | Neutral 50 | Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time. | 7 | |
Got any advice to share? | Neutral 50 | The only thing I know for certain is that I don't know nothing. | 8 | |
Got any advice to share? | Neutral 50 | Longing makes the heart grow fonder, but I've always been a fan of hog-tying my lovers to make sure they can't escape. | 9 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic001 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | What do you have in mind? | 10 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic003 <Barter> |
One of the employee perks is a discount... | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Now you're talking. I suppose I could sleaze it up a bit for their customers if it means I have a non-stop supply of drink. | 11 |
Neutral 50 | Tell the Garrets I'm in. I'll make my way there shortly. | 12 | ||
Caps are caps, honey. You can't be picky about how you make them! | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I don't need caps that bad. A hard day's labor pays well enough. | 13 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic004 | That's a bit cryptic, Beatrix. | Happy 50 | Hey, who doesn't enjoy a little pinch and squeal every once in a while? | 14 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic005 | You could be the next big thing at the Wrangler. | Neutral 50 | I've never been much of a showboat, or cared about being a public figure. I'm plenty content with caps for an honest hard day's work. | 15 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic006 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | What do you have in mind? | 16 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic007 | So, who are you? | Neutral 50 | I've been around a while. Currently working for the Followers as a gun for hire, but it's getting rather dull. | 17 |
Disgust 30 | Aside from protecting them from the occasional thug looking to intercept supply shipments, there isn't much to do around here. | 18 | ||
Sad 15 | The one researcher I liked who I could chat up about liquor got transferred, and the rest of the docs are pretty uptight about my kind of fun. | 19 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic008 | I have some questions. | Neutral 50 | And I may have answers. | 20 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic010 | Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | Goodbye. | 21 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic015 | Tell me about Freeside. | Neutral 50 | What starts in misery tends to stay there. Freeside wasn't Freeside until six or seven years ago. | 22 |
Neutral 50 | That's when Mr. House's robots rolled out of the Lucky 38 and started pushing everyone who wouldn't join him off the Strip. | 23 | ||
Neutral 50 | Lots of folks died. Some scattered to the winds. The rest wound up in Freeside and seem never to lose the habit of living like refugees. | 24 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic016 | What are you doing with the Followers? | Neutral 50 | I joined up looking for a decent-paying job. Granted, the pay is all right, but they won't let me kick back and slog a brew at the end of the day. | 25 |
Disgust 30 | They're worried the filthy drunkies in detox seeing me drink will cause an immediate relapse. I say their rehab effort here is just a revolving door. | 26 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic017 | I bet you've seen a lot over the years. | Happy 50 | I've been around long enough to observe patterns of human behavior. Physical and mental anguish are especially exciting to explore. | 27 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic018 | I'm in the market for something a little unusual. | Neutral 50 | I'm available, sweetie - but you'll have to do as I say. | 28 |
I'm in the market for something a little unusual. | Neutral 50 | Then you'll need to get a room first, sweetie. You're going to want the privacy. | 29 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic019 | Sounds good to me. <Pay 25 caps.> | Neutral 50 | Meet me upstairs. I'll try to leave you in one piece. | 30 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic020 | Maybe another time. | Neutral 50 | Suit yourself. Anything else on your mind? | 31 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic021 | What about The Kings? | Neutral 50 | What about them? Pretty much the sort of gang you'd find anywhere else, just with better clothes. | 32 |
Neutral 50 | The King himself, though? He's got that something special you can't put a finger on. Too bad he likes girls with skin. | 33 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic022 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | What did you want to know? | 34 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic023 | What do you think of the NCR? | Neutral 50 | I reckon they care about getting water and electricity from the dam, and that's where it ends. | 35 |
Neutral 50 | The locals here are just an inconvenience to them, something to step over or stomp down. They're here for the resources, plain and simple. | 36 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic024 | What's your opinion of Mr. House? | Neutral 50 | Before or after the human race shot itself in the foot? I been around long enough to have both opinions, see. | 37 |
Neutral 50 | Before the war, Mr. House was a famous captain of industry - robotics, to be specific. Seemed charming in interviews, until he became a recluse. | 38 | ||
Neutral 50 | Since the war, though? Didn't make a peep for near two hundred years - but when he came back, he came back strong and killed a lot of people. | 39 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic025 | What do you think of the Followers of the Apocalypse? | Neutral 50 | I don't know how they do it. They're like saints, those Followers. | 40 |
Neutral 50 | If they didn't charge for their services, I'd think they was crazy. But no, they're just naive. Warms your heart. | 41 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic026 | What do you know about the Van Graffs? | Neutral 50 | A couple of Radscorpions, those two. Gloria is the stable one, but she'd slit your throat if there's a profit in it. | 42 |
Neutral 50 | Or rather she'd tell her brother to do it for her. Jean Baptiste is one of the sicker humans I've had the displeasure of observing. | 43 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic027 | This would be as an "escort." | Neutral 50 | I've escorted my share of idiot tourists around Freeside. Too much trouble for what it pays. | 44 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic028 | When I say "escort," I mean "prostitute." | Neutral 50 | I'm all boot knives and leather, friend - and a ghoul, besides. What kind of weirdo wants what I've got? | 45 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic029 | Turns out there are customers looking for someone just like you. | Neutral 50 | Weirdos into bullwhips and necrosis, eh? Doesn't sound half-bad... | 46 |
Neutral 50 | What am I thinking? I'm no whore, and I ain't about to hand my ass over to some penny-ante hustler like he owns me. | 47 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic030 <Speech> |
You'd be an independent - with a deep discount on the booze, maybe? | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Hmm. They do have a damn good selection of hooch over at the Wrangler. | 48 |
Neutral 50 | If I get to choose my customers, if I get to be a little rough with them, if my cut is fair, and if I get that discount? That just might work. {emphasize every "if"} | 49 | ||
Neutral 50 | Tell the Garrets I'll stop by to work out terms. | 50 | ||
Let's face it... this is the only way you're going to get any action. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] Take your best shot, sweetheart. That's all the action I need. {you've heard every insult before} | 51 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic032 | Never mind. | Neutral 50 | Then, what do you want? | 52 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic033 | It's not like you'd be a slave. You'd get to choose your clients. | Neutral 50 | What's the difference?! Once you start working for the man, you gotta buy nice things to wear. | 53 |
Neutral 50 | Then, you gotta make more money to afford the nice things. Seems like a right vicious cycle to get into. | 54 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic036 | You'll be paid well, and room and board is on the house. | Neutral 50 | Not saying there wouldn't be advantages, especially if it'd let me start saving up my caps... | 55 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic037 | Perhaps a bottle of Jacob's Absinthe might convince you? | Neutral 50 | Absinthe?! I haven't had a taste of that in decades! | 56 |
Neutral 50 | If they keep bottles stocked at the Wrangler, you can count me in. I'll head that way and talk to Mr. Garret. | 57 |
