"War. War never changes" The old holotape starts to say, it being one of Froppy's last holdovers from her previous state of sanity "In 2077 the world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation. For-" She suddenly heard footsteps outside of her shack and grabbed her old shotgun to check it out. It was daytime in Old Bell, an area that used to be Philadelphia. Froppy didn't get much sleep per usual and she was itching to get in a fight in order to blow off steam. As she stepped out if her shack, she saw another one of those men in strange blue jumpsuits fighting some ghouls this time with the jumpsuit having the number 17 on them.
She would have normally killed them all and looted thier bodies but something about the number 17 was almost making her remember things so she shot the 2 remaining ghouls in 2 quick head shots and went up to the clearly nervous man.
"Hey!" She said pointing at him with her shotgun "where did you get that jumpsuit? Just answer me and nobody gets hurt! Well...nobody else anyway!"
"My name is Jimi DeSoto and I am from Vault 17." The man replied with his hands up "I escaped the vault after it was overrun by bad men in weird spiky amour and I am looking for a group called the Brotherhood of Steel" Froppy grabbed at her head with one hand as she tried to remember things again "Hey are you alright? You look like you don't see the sun much-"
"Shut up! I am fine! Froppy is fine!" Just that Vault number is making me remember things again but I still can't get a clear picture of who I was before that FEV strain"
"FEV strain?"
"Yeah! Forced Evolutionary Virus! Made me all froggy and unable to remember stuff. All I know is that my first name started with a T from this old card I had" Jimi looks at the clearly brunt card and is shocked
"This is a card from my vault!" Jimi says as he pulls out his own card "wait I know you! You are Tsuyu Asui! You used to be my friend. What happened to you?"
"Bad men...big super mutants capture and experiment on me and turn me like this I think." She suddenly gasps and drops the shotgun "you're telling the truth! I remember now. What have I been doing all this time?"
"It seems like you were just being a hermit if the shack is anything to go by" He looks at the shack which is held together by wood screws and a wish "do you have any supplies?"
"Yes I do! Come in come in! Just don't touch my Nuka-Cola collection without my permission" The shack itself is small with only one story. Many weapons are on the floor and a Nuka-Cola branded fridge is kept on by a crude electrical device. There is only one uncomfortable looking bed and a variety of holotapes beside it making Jimi notice the pipboy on Froppy's wrist
"Couldn't you have learned your name from the pipboy?" He asked "I thought it logged your name in it"
"It was corrupted in the FEV and only plays holotapes now" She shrugs and grabs and eats some cooked mole rat before offering some to him "you netter eat this you will not get much cooked food in the wasteland. Man I'd kill for another deathclaw steak but I am not going to try to kill another one after the hell I went through the first time..."
"Yeah I saw one of those big monsters on the way to the city and I just snuck by it" Jimi shrugged as he ate "so what is your end goal here? I know you left because you were trying to see the world."
"Survive. That is my only goal right now" Froppy says as she grabs two bottles of Nuka-Cola and gives him one "I am gonna live a simple life in this shack. Though I am looking to replace this crappy bed but I am afraid to try to loot one of those old houses because of the raiders in there. Ghouls can be predictable but raiders are a different story."
"Huh. Maybe I can try to help"
"We'd just end up sharing the same grave unfortunately" Froppy says sadly "but I do know a place where we can get some big firepower I just need you to help me loot that place. It is full of ghouls but they are all regular small time ones."
"Well I guess if it would help you finally get some sleep we can go there."
"Yes! Just give me a second to grab some Rad-x and Radaway." Soon enough they go towards an abandoned gun shop "lots of guns here but the ghouls are a bit vicious. Are you sure you are ready for this?"
"I have faced a lot of ghouls I know what makes them tick" they head into the small gun shop and sneaked around the shop managing to kill a couple of ghouls before they all came to attack them. After a short gunfight they manage to shoot the last ghoul before going to loot the guns around the shop.
"So much ammo and guns here! I'd actually move here if it is not a hotbed for ghoul activity." Froppy said as she grabbed a plasma rifle "now the house we need to loot is not too far from here and I know a guy who can lug the bed back to my shack afterwards"
"How many raiders are in there by the way?" Jimi asks as he grabs some stimpacks
"About seven but one of them has a sniper rifle." She grabs two steath boys "we will sneak around the house and take him out first" they head to a residential area and put on the stealth boys "Alright you take the right side and I will take the left" Froppy manage to get inside via an open door but Jimi IA noticed due to him having to sneak through a window and accidentally breaking some glass.
"Hey someone is in here-" the raider with the sniper rifle starts to say before he is turned into goop via the plasma rifle. The raiders make the mistake of splitting up and are easy pickings for Froppy and Jimi and soon the area is cleared out amd Froppy tries out the bed
"Ahh feels so good!" She says as she relaxes on the bed "my guy is not far from here and he probably heard the gunfire so he shouldn't be long"
"I am just glad to see you maybe get some sleep-" as he says that he sees that she is already asleep "well then. I guess you should get some rest because I think the next few days might be rough"
TO BE CONTINUED (maybe)
