Note from writer: Okay, so, despite really loving New Vegas, and New Vegas being the first game in the Fallout Franchise that I'd ever played, there are surprisingly few characters that I think I could write a short about. It'd be difficult to write for Caesar's Legion, even with Jimmy's in-game story to nick ideas from, because, even though I love the Legion for the fact that they're horrible and terrible, I don't think I could write the horrible and terrible things that they do into a short story that is really just meant to be cute. Who knows, maybe I'll think of something to make it less awful. Maybe we'll witness the fate of the town of Nipton yet. 

Oh, it has also crossed my mind that the short of Mister Burke was kind of terrible about needing outside sources to make it make sense. Along with that, there are just an awful lot of ways in which I could make it better: I didn't do a good job of explaining that Main Character is just a wastelander and not the Lone Wanderer, I didn't do a good job of teasing that the fourth letter canonically is the breakup one, I didn't do a good job when I explained some of the in-game quests as a passive observer or as someone in-universe, it was kind of all over the place. Heck, I was even going to do a joke about how Gob and Moriarty kind of sound the same, due to them having the same Voice Actor, but I never actually explained the setting, or really anyone but Burke, and Moira to a very small extent. The description of the Wasteland Survival Guide quests didn't go anywhere, so that probably could have been left out, too. So, I'm sorry. About all of that, which could have been so much better, I'm sorry. I'll be ever trying to get better at writing, however much it may be that I'm not succeeding.

Not that anyone actually reads this, but thanks for sticking with me, anyone that may. I've grown up since I've last been around here, and I'm sorry for being a little cringelord when I was younger. I'm sure it'd be kind of funny if you viewed it just to make fun of it, but I'll probably unpublish it before this even goes out. I kind of hate it, and it's not making me happy, that it's there. I'm not really sure where I was going with this. It was probably something along the lines of: Maybe Vulpes Inculta next, we'll see. 

Character suggestions are welcome, at time of typing, although reads are zero, too, so I'm not sure who I'd get suggestions from. I don't want to keep whining about the readership, I just think that it's kind of funny that something of mine had some amount of success, and now I'm ruining it with so much time away, and then a complete change in direction. I suppose I should just try to adapt with my new focus, I'm sure I'll have fun. I hope that you will, too.

TL;DR: Sorry that things in my writing is bad, sorry that I was cringey when I was younger, feel free to suggest Fallout or potentially not Fallout characters, maybe Vulpes Inculta will be next if I can work out how to write him, or maybe someone else, thanks for being here.

"You can't fire me, I'm the boss of this gang. And I say YOU'RE fired. I'm going back to the Muddy Rudder for a drink," shrills a black-haired young man in a rather nice leather jacket. He seems to be having an argument with a Brotherhood of Steel member, the one being yelled at is in some hefty Power Armour. Somehow, under all that metal, one can notice the exasperation. The Power Armoured one turns towards the exit as the angry greaser stomps out of the market, and toward the lower deck of Rivet City.

'They don't even look like they'd know eachother,' thinks (Y/N), having just witnessed the scene. Nobody in the market seemed to mind too much. Even the head of Rivet City security, Harkness, just watched, leaning against the far wall. Wanderers have been known to kick up a fuss in the market from time to time, but the loud one of the two, he seemed to be comically harmless in his tantrum throwing. It was sort of cute.
