love me a vault dweller

sounds like a pretty good dad.

yeah. a few. did you wanna see them?

at least clint is used to weird shit

[lonewanderer]

usually. he tried to be, at least. sounds like you are, too.

yeah. i like kids when they're not trying to shoot me.

[arcum]

i try. still slip up. i guess that's part of parenting.

that's the worst.

[ He's quiet for a minute before she gets a photo of him (holding the baby), Laura standing next to him and the other two in front. They're at the beach. ]

[lonewanderer]

i think that's part of being human.

[ Oh, look at them. They're young kids, healthy looking, and Clint and his wife look happy. ]

i hope you get them back. and get the time to enjoy them again.

what are their names?

[arcum]

me too. they're good kids. though not because of my influence. that's all my wife.

[ His kids are the reason he does most of the stupid stuff he does. ]

cooper and lila. the baby is nathaniel. my wife is named laura.

[lonewanderer]

if they grow up to fight for things, that'll be your influence. that will make them good people.

[ baw ]

they're beautiful.

[ There's a pause, and then Clint will get a picture. ]

that's dogmeat. he's the only family i have left. figured since you were being nice and sharing yours, i should share mine.

[arcum]

guess you got a point. it's gonna drive their mother insane.

[ Because he's pretty sure the first person they'll be fighting and telling no is her. ]

that's a good looking dog. he a mutt?

[lonewanderer]

i think that's true no matter what as far as kids go.

probably? he's a wasteland dog. there aren't pet stores or anything like there are here.

[arcum]

i think it's something coded into their dna. make your parents go crazy.

what's a wasteland dog like?

[lonewanderer]

tough. a survivor.

some of them are missing all their fur and attack people, eat them. but there are humans like that too.

[arcum]

sounds like a damn good dog then.

that's rough. but at least you got the one that's not looking to eat you. that's a plus.

[lonewanderer]

he's my best friend.

absolutely. actually saved him from some people who wanted to make him a meal. they got his old owner first, poor guy.

[arcum]

dogs're good like that. wanna get my kids one. look after them and their mother for me.

that's good. bet you're just about his favorite person ever.

[lonewanderer]

maybe you could get one here and have the representatives send it to them or something.

i think i'm definitely up there. though he loves how everyone here is willing to pet him instead of shoot at him.

[arcum]

probably wouldn't hurt to ask. it'd be good to send them something good considering they're probably going through hell.

i'll have to meet him some day. see if he's any good at fetch.

[lonewanderer]

time works a little strangely here, though. i was here before for months and when i went back, no time had passed at all. but either way.

i'm sure he would think he's the best at it. we actually don't get to play it much back in my world, but he's great at finding things for me.

[arcum]

weird. still even before i left it wasn't easy.

[ Being a cell was awful, but the worst part was leaving them to help Steve. But it was the right thing to do. ]

what sorta things?

[lonewanderer]

i understand that.

pretty much anything. food, medical supplies, bottle caps - that's the currency in my world - and just junk. also he's good at sniffing out enemies before i do.

[arcum]

sounds like a pretty damn resourceful dog. did you train him to find that stuff or did his old owner?

sorry about the delay, my wrist decided i wasn't allowed to use it for 3 weeks :'|

[lonewanderer]

part his old owner, part he's just that smart. at least, i think so

no problemo

[arcum]

you sure that's not just you being biased? maybe he's just lucky?

[ He's just teasing now. ]

\o/

[lonewanderer]

could always take him out and show you

[ Dogmeat is the best okok ]

[arcum]

But will he perform on command? What if he's feeling shy or thinks your exploiting his awesome instincts?

[lonewanderer]

he always does. i think the possibility of excess treats and headscratches will make up for any stage fright.

[arcum]

Someone should get that dog an agent. So he knows if he's being taken advantage of.
