Fallout: Life In The Wasteland
Part 2 - "Sin & Vice"
By: Jesse Racine AKA Samson
Original Date Written: May 30, 2010
Marv walked along the dusty wasteland ground, looking to the ground constantly as a wind of grit whipped along the ground, lashing along his clothing violently. He suddenly heard a few quick and stealthy footsteps behind him, Marv instantly turning around to the surprised face of Heather, the little girl he had rescued from the slavers in the metro station. She let out a surprised "Eeek!" sound before trying to hide behind a nearby boulder. The light breeze began to die down, the constant wall of sand being tossed along the ground finally ending. Marv put his hands on his hips for a moment before saying "I saw you, Heather. Come out here." Heather didn't do anything in response. Marv rolled his eyes gently, lowering his hands from his sides as he said "Heather, I told you not to follow me, I mean, I gave you some normal food, right? You would've been okay on your way to Redding. You must've been following this whole time, huh?" Heather popped her head out from the side of the boulder, her face fully visible. She nodded. "Y-Yeah..." She said softly. "It's been...Two days now...Right?...I followed you as soon as you left the station..."
Marv approached the boulder. "Why?" He asked. Heather stepped out from behind the boulder. "Because...Well..." She said shyly, looking down to the ground and shifting her feet a little. Marv raised an eyebrow. Heather suddenly gained a confused face of sorts, looking off to the side. Marv heard some sort of hard clacking, like something was moving. "Marv, it's...Some kind of bug!...I think?..." Marv looked over, his eyes widening. A huge green insect was racing towards them, running rather quickly. It's arms were like scythes, it's eyes looking along them emotionlessly. It was a giant praying mantis! It was way larger than any of the mantises he had ever seen before. Marv grabbed Heather in his arms, sprinting northeast. The large creature kept chasing them. Marv didn't know that mantises were in the same part of the wasteland that they were. He always thought they stuck to the far south, only reaching to the mid-south during summer, never going much higher than New Reno. It wasn't as big as a deathclaw, but it was about as big as a mole rat, being much larger than a dog. It was like something out of an old science-fiction flick. It chased them for a while before it began to slow down, doing so once it saw them slowly escaping. Marv carried Heather off for a bit before slowing down and turning around. The mantis, being a good ways away from them, simply stood and watched them calmly, tilting it's head to the side slightly. Now that it had lost it's sneak advantage, it didn't seem interested in pursuing them much further.
A shot rang out, Heather flinching in Marv's arms, burying her face in his chest, grabbing him tightly. The bullet hit the mantis right through the head, it's body remaining in a standing position for a few more moments before toppling over into a clattering jumble. Footsteps approached them from behind, slow, shuffling footsteps. "Outta my way smoothskin, I got places to be, people to see, bitches to lay." A figure lightly bumped into Marv's side slightly before continuing past them. Marv looked at him. He was a ghoul, a human horribly affected by intense amounts of radiation. Most of his skin seemed almost melted, being dark green with spots of dark brown, the brown actually being his inner muscles, darkened slightly from the wasteland sun. His skin was sort of greenish, like it was intensely sick. He was totally bald. The left side of his forehead had melted down enough to cover his left eye, leaving him blind in it, only giving him effectiveness in his right. His shirt was torn slightly, along with the legs of his pants. In his hands he clutched a sniper rifle. He walked with a rather severe limp, one of his legs almost seeming totally locked up, like it was unable to move any of it's muscles and bend like it normally would.
All in all, he looked like a very horribly disfigured human being, but he wasn't human anymore, the radiation had pushed him beyond that. A slight odour, much like decay, drifted from the ghoul. Marv called out "Hey, thanks for that!" The ghoul waved a stiff arm over his shoulder. "Don't mention it smoothie, just git a move on 'fore more show up." Marv thought "There's more of them?" Heather looked up from Marv's chest. "Who's that talking?" She asked, about to look around. Marv spun around and said "Just a person, who else? Nothing to see...Let's keep moving." Heather seemed curious, trying to look over Marv's shoulders, but not seeing the ghoul. "Who was it? His voice sounded all dry and scratchy!" She exclaimed. Marv began to wonder if going to Gecko would be such a good idea, what with the innocent curiosity of a little girl instilled within Heather and everything. He didn't want to come across as rude to the nice people there. Vault City was out of the question, the last thing he'd do was involve himself with the elitist assholes there. A day before, Marv had run into a traveler, finding out about the nearby cities. He had heard terrible things about Vault City, but rather nice things about Gecko, a city for ghouls. "The tragic thing about ghouls is that they treat us so well, but we treat them like freaks, like goddamn zombies."
The traveler's words stood out in Marv's mind. He smirked slightly the first time he had heard it, not because he had anything against ghouls, but because he had never heard anyone refer to a ghoul as a "zombie" before. It was a little humorous. He slowed down to a stop, still carrying Heather in his arms. She was rather light, so it wasn't tiring to carry her. She looked up into his face. "Marv? Why are you slowing down? Is something wrong?" She asked softly and calmly. Marv nodded. "Yeah...We're not going in this direction anymore..." He smiled down to her face. "We’re heading somewhere else. Modoc." Heather didn't know where he was talking about, and it showed on her face. She eventually smiled peacefully and cuddled closer to him in his arms. "Will you keep carrying me like this, Marv?..." She asked gently and innocently. "I got so tired from all that walking...For so long...I made sure to never-" She suddenly yawned powerfully. "...Let you out of my sight..." She finished her sentence. Marv said "Yeah...I suppose...But you never told me why it was that you followed me. Why did you?" Heather seemed to grow shy once more.
Marv said "Come on, why did you? I mean...You watched me eat those slavers in the metro station. I told you not to, but you watched me the whole time. That was another weird thing. What's up with that?" Heather blushed lightly, trying to hide her face in his shirt. Marv sighed gently and said "Will you at least tell me why it is that you followed me? It must have been a long trip for you. Not a lot of kids would have done the same as you." Heather softly said "Because...As long as I'm with you...Nothing can hurt me...." She looked up to his face seriously, losing her blush. "...That's why...You protect me...You're big and tough...Thank you for that..." Marv smiled at her softly. "Oh...I see...Yeah, okay...No worries...You just rest, we'll settle down somewhere for the night when the sun sets, but that won't be for a while. We'll be moving for a bit still." Heather nodded gently. "Okay..." She said softly, resting her face against his chest once more. Marv continued to walk off with her in his arms, heading off, going west-ward.
Dawn awoke gently, opening her eyes slowly. The warmth of Kid's body emanated from beside her, Dawn lying on her side, facing Kid, Kid facing her as well. She smiled a little, kissing him on the forehead, whispering his name. He didn't stir. She realized that he must have still been asleep. Dawn smiled a little more, finding his sleeping face to be rather cute. She slowly and gently slipped her body out from within the bed, getting dressed in her armour. She thought for a few moments as to finding herself some new clothes before stepping back over to the bed. She leaned over on the bed, bringing her face near his. "No nightmares while I'm gone...Okay, baby?" Kid smiled slightly, smiling at the mere sound of her voice in his sleep. She smiled to herself at his face. She quietly left the room, closing the door behind her without a sound. As she began to walk down a hallway, another door nearby began to open. Dawn raised an eyebrow, slowing her movements as a completely nude man walked out into the hallway. He quickly spotted her, saying "Dawn?" Dawn raised her eyebrows at him. "When did you get back in New Reno?" The man asked. Dawn smiled a little condescendingly. "Well well well, if it isn't Mister Pink." The man looked at her angrily. "I didn't think you remembered my stage name...Ruby-Red."
Dawn laughed at the mention of her own stage name and grinned at him, the man suddenly grinning at her as well. They walked over to one another, hugging tightly when they reached each other. "How have you been?" He asked in a warm tone. Dawn released him, smiling as she said "I've been okay, I suppose. And you?" He smiled. "Never better. I kicked my Jet addiction. Took me a while and it royally fucking sucked, but I did it, and it was worth it." Dawn grinned. "Yeah, I heard about that from Rocky, way to go!" Mister Pink nodded with a smile. Dawn suddenly said "Hey listen, can I ask you a huge favour?" Mister Pink raised an eyebrow in curiosity, nodding "Sure. But if it's something downright crazy, we better go get some cameras, heh." Dawn rolled her eyes for a moment, still smiling. Mister Pink was a tall man with completely blonde hair. His eyes were a deep, beautiful shade of blue, much like Dawn's were. Mister Pink didn't ask Dawn why she was wearing a suit of metallic combat armour, and Dawn didn't inquire as to why Mister Pink was wearing naught but his birthday suit. "I need some clothes and a stimpack or two. Doesn't matter what clothes you get, as long as it's not a dominatrix outfit or something ridiculous like that."
Mister Pink chuckled and said "Damn it, just what I was thinking of, too!" He nodded a moment later with a smile. "Don't worry, I think I know what you'd like, I know what your taste in clothes is. I'll be back as soon as I can, but first I think I should get dressed first, heh." Dawn smiled. "Thanks babe, it means a lot to me. I'll be in my room until you get back, okay?" Mister Pink nodded. "You got it." The two of them walked off, Mister Pink stepping back into his room to get dressed, Dawn stepping back into her room, as well. Closing and locking the door behind herself, she saw Kid still in her bed in the faint light of the room. He suddenly shifted around in the bed, seemingly awakening. Dawn walked over to the bed, sitting down on it's edge. Kid opened his eyes a little and sat up sleepily. When he saw her, he said "Hey..." Dawn smiled gently. "Good morning..." She said softly. There was a moment of silence. Kid said "About last night..." Dawn looked into his eyes. "...Yeah?" She said. Kid smiled. "It was special...Really...I'm g-glad that we got to c-come closer like that..." Dawn smiled a little more. Kid got up and came closer to her, hugging her, Dawn hugging him back.
They hugged silently for a few moments before they released one another. "Listen...Kid....I'll be going out for a little to see some old friends, I think I should tell them that I'm back in town...Remember last night, when I talked about the Wrights?...Well...I was close friends with a few people in the Wright family, and I think they should know that I'm back in town...I'll be back in a few hours, so until then, you should just stay here..." Kid looked off to the side for a moment as he said "Well...Alright...But th-there's something I should do t-today as well...I have to see s-someone..." Dawn didn't ask any questions, just nodding gently as she said "Okay...But please be careful...New Reno is not a really safe place..." Kid nodded, looking into her eyes. "I know..." He said. Dawn felt through some of his hair as she softly said "Don't be out for long, 'kay?...I'll try to bring you back some food while I'm out...I'll tell the guards around here that you're okay to go into my room, so they won't bother you..." Kid nodded. "Do you have t-to leave right away?..." He asked. Dawn smiled a little and shook her head.
"No...I still have a bit of time to stay here with you...What do you want to do?..." Kid smiled a little as he said "Why don't we just relax t-together?..." Dawn raised her eyebrows as she quietly said "I'm in my armour Kid, cuddling probably wouldn't feel too good for you." Kid smiled more as he said "Then g-get out of your armour..." Dawn smiled more as she said "Ooh, of course, master...Master gets what master wants, and if master wants to hold my naked body close, then that's what master will get!..." Kid blushed faintly, blinking a few times in shock as he stared into Dawn's eyes. Dawn held back a giggle, smiling happily as she stood up from the bed, saying "I'm just messing with you. Let me undress, I wouldn't mind some cuddling right now..." Dawn quickly undressed, stripping away her armour, crawling onto the bed by Kid. They held one another close, looking into the other's eyes, whispering sweet nothings to one another, feeling the other close to them happily.
Ace had only grown more and more angry as she traveled the wastes. She had never stopped for sleep or anything, eating what little she had on the go with Penelope. Finally New Reno began to come into view. Ace narrowed her eyes in determination. Her head was throbbing from lack of sleep, but she had no intention of stopping for sleep, not out in the open wastes, at least. A scurrying movement sounded out nearby, sounding sort of like a large creature, but sounding sort of like an insect, as well. Looking to the side, she spotted a giant radscorpion racing towards her, it's deadly stinger raised for an attack. It was definitely huge, being about the length of two normal-sized humans, being about as tall as a mole rat, unless you counted it's stinger, in which case it'd nearly be as tall as a deathclaw. Penelope growled when she saw the radscorpion racing towards them. "Like I need this shit." Ace muttered to herself. She gripped her sawed-off shotgun in her right hand, her combat knife in her left, the blade protruding from the bottom of her fist.
The radscorpion immediately shot it's stinger out as soon as it reached her, Ace jumping to the side, the stinger embedding itself into the dusty ground, sticking into the ground and almost anchoring the beast in place. Ace jumped behind it as it tried to grab her with it's huge claws. She fired both her shells into it's tail from behind, near the base. The creature let out a pained cackling sound, it's mandibles shaking slightly. She kicked it as it tried to turn to face her, forcing it to face the front for a moment, but she only needed a moment for her next movement. She grabbed the thick tail with one hand, dropping her sawed-off. She stabbed into the large wounds she had inflicted upon it with her previous shots, quickly ramming the knife into it a few times, moving the knife around, nearly severing the tail entirely before it finally twisted around and knocked her to the ground. The radscorpion looked just like a normal tiny little pre-war scorpion, only it was much, much, bigger. It's body's defensive plates were dark brown in colour, it's many dark eyes staring at Ace emotionlessly.
It snapped out at her with a claw, Ace rolling the side and narrowly avoiding the deadly attack, grabbing her sawed-off in the process. Penelope barked ferociously, growling as she bite one of the radscorpions legs, chewing on it deeply for a few moments before the creature spun to the side, sending Penelope away. Ace got to her feet and popped down the barrels of her sawed-off, pulling out the empty shells, reaching into her pocket and pulling out two more, slipping them into the barrels. She closed the barrels, the creature snapping at Penelope with a claw, Penelope jumping onto the creature's back and down it's side, running behind it with a growl. Ace ran up to the creature's side, pointing her sawed-off down into it's two main eyes, the largest ones peeping out of it's front, in a soft spot of the plating on it's top side. She fired twice quickly, the creature letting out a hissing shriek, swinging to the side and smashing into Ace's legs with it's claws, knocking her onto it's own body, onto it's back. The plating on it's front had been blasted open, revealing bloody muscle. It's left eye had been totally destroyed. Ace lying on it's back, the creature moved in a confused manner. It's tail was too hurt to be used, and it couldn't reach onto it's back with it's claws, almost putting Ace in the eye of a hurricane. She quickly reloaded her shotgun once more, Penelope barking at the radscorpion. The scorpion turned it's attention to her, racing towards her, Ace shaking on it's back from it's movements as she reloaded her shotgun.
Finished reloading, she jammed the two barrels down into the soft flesh where the radscorpion's left eye used to be, pulling the trigger once. The beast collapsed to the ground, hissing softly. Ace pulled the trigger again, blowing deep into it's body. It's tail fell uselessly to the ground as it stopped moving entirely. It was dead. Ace sighed, getting up from the creature's corpse, reloading her shotgun once more before leaning her head to the side, a slight cracking sound appearing from her neck before she straightened out her neck and head, sighing once more. "C'mon girl, we have to keep moving, New Reno isn't far." Ace said to Penelope. Penelope couldn't help but begin tearing at one of the small legs of the radscorpion, Ace watching her with a raised eyebrow for a moment before smiling, closing her eyes a little. She walked over to the body, taking her knife to the leg that Penelope was trying to pull off, finding a weak spot between it's plates and cutting the leg off. Penelope began to chew on the leg, eating some of the meat inside the plates, simply chewing on the tough plates, seemingly using them as a toy. Ace smiled and rubbed Penelope's head, saying "Let's go, you got your food, now we have to go." The two of them walked off, heading towards the image of New Reno on the horizon, never stopping for any breaks.
A soft knocking sounded out at the door to Dawn's room. Dawn got up from the bed, Kid watching her as she walked over to the door. She opened it a crack, looking outside. Mister Pink stood there, dressed in a tight blue shirt and a dark brown pair of pants. He wore a necklace adorned with earthen-coloured beads, a very small skull in the middle between his collarbones, seeming to be a bird's skull. He held up a dark bag, saying "I got you some clothes, plus some stimpacks. Just what the doctor ordered." Dawn grinned happily and pulled the door open fully, rushing closer to him, throwing her arms around him and hugging him tightly. "Thank you!" She said appreciatively. Mister Pink smiled and hugged her back, seemingly comfortable with Dawn's state of nudity. "You owe me, babe." Dawn released him and took the bag, Mister Pink having held it out for her. "Some day I'll pay you back...Depending on what you want, I might repay you sooner than later..." Mister Pink smiled, noticing someone in Dawn's bed. "Not now, I'll tell you what I want later." Dawn grinned and winked knowingly. "Oh, sure." She said. Mister Pink laughed softly, Dawn joining him in his mirth.
When their laughter died down, Dawn thanked him once more, Mister Pink walking off down the hall, Dawn closing the door to her room as he did so. Kid watched her as she turned on the gentle red light of the room, opening up the bag with a grin. She pulled out three stimpacks, laying them on the bed by Kid. She said "Oh, awesome! He got some shades!" Dawn quickly pulled out the clothes in the bag, laying them on the bed. First she slipped on a pair of dark silk panties, along with a matching bra. Dawn murmured to herself, saying "Hmm...He must have gotten this from the wardrobe room...Ah well, I'm sure they won't mind..." She then pulled on a red t-shirt with a wavy and psychedelic design of dark purple, a rip going across the chest near the neck. Dawn knew that the rip was intentional, designed to give a glance of the wearer's cleavage. The shirt had a bit of a rip along the left side of it, but she knew that, unlike the rip on the chest, that one wasn't intentional. She had no idea as to how the shirt could have been ripped on it's side, but it was still wearable, just with the rip she'd also give people a glance at her hip. A pair of black bell-bottom pants were also among the clothes, but no belt was there to go with it. Dawn made a bit of a face, thinking to herself for a few moments about getting a belt.
A pair of dirty pre-war sneakers were also among the clothes, along with a slightly-torn pair of socks. A pair of sunglasses sat atop all of the clothes, looking rather stylish and pre-war with their dark, tinted lenses and equally dark frames. Dawn got dressed, slipping on all of the clothing, putting the sunglasses on last, pushing the stimpacks into her pockets gently. She got down by Kid and kissed him one more time, Kid saying after the kiss "You look p-pretty good..." Dawn smiled happily. "Aw, really? Thanks!" She kissed him again, Kid smiling as Dawn said "I'll be back in a few hours. If you have to go out, make sure it's not for long, okay? I'll try and bring some food back, Nuka-Cola as well, I know you like that stuff." Kid nodded, Dawn grabbing her mp5 and walking over to the door, opening it up and stepping out into the doorway. She paused and looked back into the room, Kid looking at her, his face red from the glow of the room's light. Dawn looked him in the eyes for a moment in silence. "Kid...Later, when I come back...Would you want to make love again?" Kid smiled with some blush in his cheeks, but because of the red light, Dawn couldn't see it. He nodded. "Y-Yeah...I'd like that..." He said softly. Dawn smiled and said "Okay...Be here when I get back..." She raised a hand to her face, kissing her palm, lowering her hand a moment later, blowing softly. Kid smiled and blushed more at her blown kiss. She closed the door softly, walking off with a gentle smile, heading out of the studio and into the streets beyond.
