"Imagine a picture, okay? A picture of the Capital Wasteland. All that brick and rock. A whole lot of nothing, right? There's people out there trying to just barely make it from day to day. Fighting to stay alive and make something out of what they got. But then you've got all kinds of shit... Slavers, Super Mutants, Raiders... They all want a slice of the pie too and aim to take it by force." -- Three Dog

Johnny


"...and till the day lady liberty stands again,
till we walk the beach of Malibu my friend,
you will find me here playing my guitar,
the ghoul in black I will never be far."


Johnny played the last few country tunes of his song before he was finished playing for the day. A few of the patrons clapped and the barkeeper brought Johnny his drink. The people of Underworld loved to have their own livemusic, it made them feel more like a fancy establishment instead of a haven for outcasts.
The ghoul in black thanked the barkeeper and put his guitar in his case. He then took a sip of the alcohol. Johnnys sense of taste disappeared sometime in the last 60 years.
He looked at the other ghouls sitting in the room, a few of them were also from before the war. Johnny stood up and walked over to the bar,
taking a seat next to the huge ghoul he came to know as Kane. "I was thinking about a new song. How does 'In the Underworld I met an Irishman' sound to you?", he took another sip of his drink, "What even is this supposed to be? Whiskey? Vodka? No drink should have such a colour."

The sun shone bright in the cloudless day,
White awoke to find him self his rented room in Megaton. Strewn about his bed was his wares, the he had tried to pack the day before. White sighed and murmured to him self guess I'm getting a late start today.


Once White's caravan was finally packed it was already evening the sun could be see approaching the horizon. White locked his door, walked past the Bomb, and set off into the wasteland for rivet city.
Once White passed though the gates he strode past Deupty Weld and winced as it said "WELCOME TO MEGATON, THE BOMB IS TOTALLY SAFE" White continued on into the horrible wasteland

Seeing the town of megaton coming into view she could hear the metallic sounds of the jet engine slowly closing the city gates. After reaching a certain distance from the town she began too hear the sounds of the raged place and it's inhabitants. She paused a moment when the *pink* of a Brahman's bell as it slowly walked struck her ear and pulled her gaze to fellow guiding the large animal away from the noisy town. She contemplated for a second before somewhat quickly walking towards the man, attempting too grab his attention. "Excuse me sir." She mused as she approached him. "If you don't mind I'd like too tag along. You don't gatta pay me nothin, I can offer you some protection whilst I'm with you." She said shifing her backpack on her shoulder. "You'll be doing my sanity some protecting if you keep me out of that unpleasant town." She explained as she turned too look over her shoulder then back at him, smiling under her mask.

White glanced at her,
She looked like someone you can trust but one can never tell put here in the wasteland. Even with her mask, "some people have their thing" White said to himself "I'm headed to rivet city if you're interested. Otherwise you can walk with me till you get to whereever your going in this god forsaken world. Also want to buy some ammo for that .45? I think I've got some. Or your 9mm I know I have ammo for that. But that big gun what is that a .50 those rounds are hard to come by so I don't have any of those for sale" White could always use some protection in this land. Especially since the raider problem has been rising.

"Great, rivet city it is then." She said grabbing a small radio from her pack whilst they started walking. She cliped her earphones into its small slot, placing one of the buds in her ear, tuned in to GNR, and clipped the radio onto her belt. "And your listening to galaxy news radiooo." She said quietly too herself as she began to check all of her guns were loaded and not too dirty. "So how long you been doin this for Mr... crap, I forgot too introduce myself. I'm Lesley, nice too meet you." she said outstretching her hand.

Winston walked into the Fairfax ruins, his arms up in the air to signal he was unarmed. The raiders hidden in the surrounding buildings quickly emerged, from their hiding spots, signalling a friendly entrant. "Maybe this time they wont screw me' Winston thought to himself. Two of the masked raiders came approached him, their stench making his nose quiver. They patted him down, checking for any hidden weapons. taking the bag he had slung over his shoulder, they dumped its contents onto the floor. Hundreds of bullets poured out of the sack onto the floor. 'Unappreciative mongrels' Winston thought to himself.
The raider's signaled back further into the shadows of the buildings until another one emerged from a building to Winston's left. He carried a small metal box engraved with a large S encased in a ruby like shape. The raider approached Winston and handed him the small box. Unhinging the small latch, Winston opened the box and checked the contents to make sure it was what he paid for. Nodding his head he shook hands with the raider.
"If you guys get your hand's on anything else you think I might be interested in, I'll be happy to do business with you again." Marcus said turning around heading back out of the ruins. He heard the raiders gather the bullets back into the sack and scatter back into the ruins.
'That could've gone a whole lot worse' Winston thought to himself. Making his way further out of the raider campsite, Winston further inspected the contents of the box. Inside were 3 small canisters with small plastic tips. Old faded labels read "Butane". Picking up the canister and giving it a good shake, he could feel the gas inside. He smirked as this specific group of raiders had screwed him in the last two trades he'd made. Walking further out of the city, Marcus found the bush under the make shift road sign sticking on the side of the road. He'd seen it many times coming through fairfax, and the awkward shape of the bush made it a perfect stache spot. Reaching into the thorns, he pulled out his large backpack of metals and assorted trinkets.
He couldn't help but notice blood had been splatted on the sign. Someone's had been at his spot and didn't grab his supply, he grinned to himself with satisfaction. Reading the sign as he walked away "Megaton 4 mi' he thought. 'I can be there by nightfall' as he began to walk north.

John Shook her hand, "The name is John White, nice to meet you miss, now we best get going. I would like to get as far as possible before the sun sets"
With that John urged his Brahman on, and set off. While he walked he tried to make small talk "Ever been to rivet city before?" He asked

"I actually haven't, I'm kinda new here. The the only 'big city' I've ever been too here in DC is megaton." Lesley said putting air quotes on big city as she started to walk. The crunches of Mr. white's boots sounding distinct compared to her's as they walked together.

Almost through the strip of city separating the river from the West side of the wastes Lesley stopped for a moment before hearing a loud "Hey!" Spinning around to see a few thugs standing in the road trying too look tough. "I see your friend there is trader, correct?" one of the thugs said too Lesley as she put her backpack down along with her large rifle. "Do you know what happens to traders that pass through these roads little lady?" one of the larger ones said with his arms crossed. "Do YOU know what happens to punks that try something?" Lesley snickered back, her hand ready to flick to any of her weapons. "Why don't you just step aside little lady." the large one growled as their group stepped closer, looking angry. When Lesley began to focus and calm herself, everything went quiet, every minor sound could be heard, even the sounds of the pipes moving in the dirty fingers of the attacking men. Suddenly her right arm tightened and her eyes opened wide under her mask as her slender fingers wrapped around her trusty revolver with the name 'dirge' carved on the underside of it's barrel.

Her fingers were fast to bring the pistol up to her waist and meet her other hand. The large revolver gave loud *crack's* as its .45 payloads were fanned out of its barrel in quick succession, two bullets per person. After killing three thugs she exhausted her cylinder and had to reload, but one of the two remaining attackers got close enough and swung at her head, missing and striking her mask off instead. She turned her body, grabbing one of her twin katakana's backwards. Lesley waited for him to attack again, ducking and dashing towards him. from bellow she struck upwards, cutting from caller to his throat with her sharp blade. she flicked her blade clean, and reloaded her revolver quickly before sheathing her sword. The only goon left was the large one and he was already dangerously close to Mr. White. she brought her revolver up with a flashy spin before firing into the back of the last man's bald head, making a mess in the progress.

John barely had time to react before Lesley had killed the group of raiders, he was left with his 10mm pistol in his hand, he was amazed. "Well I've got to thank you miss, if you would like I invite you to protect my Caravan, I'll give you 5% of all sales, and a discount on ammo for your weapons" she was clearly not a person to mess with.


Rivet City
They say rivet city used to be a ship, and from the inside you could barely tell.
John led his caravan to a corner of the Market and set up hoping to get some sales before renting a room. To Lesley he addressed "Why don't you go find some rooms for rent, I'll even pay for your room, it's the best I can do after you saved my life" John was clearly grateful, and he even knew it. John handed more than enough caps to her and said please find a room.

Lesley happily took the caps, she began to cross the main marketplace to the booth that rented the rooms to people when halfway across the floor she noticed a armor store and a nice mask. Going over to look at it she piled it up too feel it's weight and decided to get it. "There goes 50 caps" she mumbled to herself as she jostled the bag of caps in her pack. Finally reaching the booth she leaned on the counter and said "me and a friend need a room, it doesn't need to be big." To a ghoul in nicer clothes. "Sure thing smooth skin." He said in a gruff voice "that'll be 27 caps for the night" she said with a tap of his finger in the counter. Lesley tossed a small bad of 28 caps and got a key with the number 145 on it. "Huh..." she said slowing down as she noticed the number. Walking past Mr. White Lesley shouted "number 145" as she jangled the key in her fingers, the doorway of the hall making an echoed sound as she walked.

John White sold until the sun had set,
Some interesting sales were made, a person buying 15 cans of cram, another buying 2 feet of fiber optic cable, even a person buying a shotgun from White. But the sale that stood out the most to him was the Security Captain buying 200 rounds of 9mm, 150 of 10mm, 100 of 5.56, a baseball, lights, and a pillow. At that point John called it a night.


He locked up his caravan, and wandered the halls to Room what was it? 145. When he got there he knocked on the Door and waited. Hoping Lesley was in the room and he wasn't locked out.

Lesley heard the knocking from her seat. She stood up, walked to the door, and opened it. Greeting Mr white through a crack in the bulk head door with a tired "hey" as well as a tired face, she forgot she was wearing just the leotard she wore under everything and some old bunny slippers she kept in her pack. She shuffled over to one of the few bed/seats where she set up her stuff and sat down wrapping herself in blanket, picking up one of her swords and cleaning cloth next that she was using to rub off her last few smudges of blood and the like. "How goes theeeeehhhhhhhh... selling?" She said with a long yawn and stretch of both her arms.

A pair of dogs fought over a scrap of dried molerat skin, while a skinny, lanky man scratched at scales on his skin standing next to a fat man and a leaner toned man. While the muscular fat one took a hit of Jet and passed it along to the skinny guy. Mange takes a hit and stares at the old Fairfax ruins.

“Whats’ in ‘ere that?” Mange ask.

“Kind of creepy,” Rottooth says exposing his blackened teeth and a gaping hole, he says shivering and trying to hold himself in his fat arms. While Fleabite just looked at the dilapidated placed with a delighted smile, his teeth slightly yellowed, as he slipped a mentat into his mouth. To keep alert or perhaps keep his mind busy.

“Nothing much boys beside some desecrated walking corpses,” Fleabite replies, “But. It’s also a place used often among gang members.”

“So we takem ‘em back,” Mange says excitedly.

“No, we’re taking their stash,” Fleabite laughs. Mange and Rottooth join in on the chortle. While Fleabite lets the Mentat dissolve in his mouth. It got difficulter and difficulter chasing a high. They rarely ever gave him more of a tingle and he had to go deeper and deeper and find more combinations to find himself in a state enough to find the Great Mother and her words.

Ripjaw and Shredclaw followed along closely, their tails high in the air like a signal flag. Ripjaw’s hackles stood up and he began to growl. While Shredclaw sniffed the air. They were not alone. It was either the bloated walking corpses known as feral ghouls. Or something completely different. Both dogs wandered off ahead of them. Though many of them had great faith in the companions that followed them closely by.

Walking down the skeleton of what was once a paved road, Winston could actually somewhat feel the radiation taking its toll on him. Though he had not been mutated horrendously like others, he could always tell when levels went beyond his tolerance when the intense nausea began to set in. In a matter of yards, Winston had gone from completely fine to hunched over on the side of the road dry-heaving and retching. He had walked right into a radioactive hot-spot. He emptied what little contents of his stomach onto the ground, stumbling backward. He began to feel lightheaded and the nausea was only getting worse. Doing his best to get away, Winston began dragging himself back the way he came. Standing became impossible and he soon collapsed into the dirt, unable to stand or walk. Lying face down in the dirt, Winston pulled himself back towards the ruins, a desperate army crawl to safety. He heaved again, this time only bring a wave of bile and stomach acid. Winston felt his eyes becoming heavy and the pressure in his skull felt like it was going to pop, but he continued to drag himself down the road. His body gave out quickly, his arms to weak to pull his own weight, he only prayed that he was out of any danger. Winston closed his eyes, accepting his own doom, the air deprivation now causing hallucinations, the dopamine releasing throughout his body. As he lay in the dirt, barely conscious, he feels something wet run across his face, like that of an animal. Through blurred squinted vision, Winston sees the silhouettes of what he counts as 3 possibly 6 figures approaching, it was hard to tell.

John walked in already half asleep.
"It was.... good" he yawned back. John inspected the room, set down his backpack and started rummaging through it. Once he had organized the backpack. He asked "Where can I sleep?" John was dead tired, and he knew the moment his head hit the bed he would be asleep.

"Anywhere is fine I guess. There another cot over there with a blanket." Lesley said pointing at a small bed hanging off the wall by chains. "I'm pretty tired." She said putting all of her things away. " I think I'm gonna go to sleep now." She mumbled as she slumped over with her blanket and fell fast asleep.

"Ugh, 'ow in the bloody 'ell did America's listen to this shite?" A gravely voice gripped as Johnny finished his set. The annoyed tone was coming from no other than Underworld's resident Irishman, Kane, who was currently downing yet another drink. ""Or drink this shite." He grunted as he lowered his glass that had just moments before been filled with whiskey. He waved the bartender down for another drink and as he did so he noticed the performer he was just berating take a seat next to him and offered him some rather dry humor. "'onestly all country is pretty shite so the name fits." Kane said as he had his drink set in front of him. He drank along side Johnny who this time offered his take on the lovely selection of boozes down in underworld. "Aye, I've 'ad mole rat piss that tasted better than this." He said with a chuckle. "Been too damn long since I 'ad a decent drink. What 'bout you mate?"
