oh she is good.
Requires threadmark~
Glad you like her! And yeah,she was born out of my general annoyance with all the pro-NCR stories and the stories that have the Courier be a hardass gunslinger with no real social skill, and yet they always seem to get the speech checks for the best endings.I like Day, she is a great character. You are doing a great job doing a social character instead of the same old gun nut you see in most fallout fics.
This line made me laugh, the double meanings are great.
She actually hasn't done that yet. Day prefers the Gommoragh and the Tops for the most part, and while the Ultra-Lux is a great, if you aren't anyone important or rich you'll get in, but be given cool welcome.
And an edit! Seriously, learn from me and don't publish your stuff at 2am, it never ends well. I have also added some more diaolge and context to the scene, and more of Day flirting of course. Vulpes is only in his 20s and she pulls all of his levers, so to speak.

Like most groups, there are people she likes and people she dislikes.Day prefers Gommorah the most apparently, so I have to ask, what does she feel about the Omertas themselves?
D'aww. . . so refreshing to see another woman with her priorities straight.Like most groups, there are people she likes and people she dislikes.
She tends to favour the prostitutes and chem-dealers the most, because they fulfill her many vices and the like. But she dislikes the Bosses, figuring them to be more cruel and ruthless than is necessary and she find Chahino to be completely despicable.
Of course that doesn't stop her from giving them her hard earned caps.
One thing I've found about female Couriers in fanfiction is that they more often than not suffer from being too... good. They're demure or shy, they keep their tempers pretty even and they don't indulge in the many vices like drugs or sex (only sticking to the occasional bit of drinking.) Where's the foul tempered heavy weapons specialist? Where's the re-formed junkie who is one bad day away from a lethal relapse or the psychopath who is barely restraining herself from just murdering the next person who gives her lip?D'aww. . . so refreshing to see another woman with her priorities straight.
*Anticipation intensifies* Can't wait to see her tear Caesar's brain to fucking shreds with a single, politely-worded sentence.One thing I've found about female Couriers in fanfiction is that they more often than not suffer from being too... good.

Day is a break from the traditional look at female Couriers; she's a hedonist who can manipulate damn near anyone, even a Legionnaire in the right circumstances. She can also be a viscous bitch when she wants to be. It hasn't come up yet so far, because Day's mostly been interacting with people who she likes, she can be cruel when nesseary, or when she's in a bad mood. A person like her, who can home in on the softspots of persons self-esteem, is not someone you want to piss off.
Maniacal_Laughter.gifA thousand words in. Also, Day is a massive flirt, Vulpes doesn't know how to handle it, at all. I guess the kind of social interaction with women that the Legion supplies might leave them at certain disadvantage...

That'd actually work better than Vulpes, Anthony is genuinely a pitiably person. He is just another victium of the Legion's war-machine, lashing out in repressed anger and grief at the one target that won't fight back.It could be worse, they could have sent Antony.
"Someone is showing positive emotions towards me. How do I respond?!"

Vulpes is honestly a monster, though I prefair to portray him as a human being rather than just an atrocity machine. And as such he thinks he's in the right and that his actions are justified. He has likes and dislikes; fears and he can break his code of conduct at times.
Manipulating Anthony on the other hand is like whacking an abuse victium, just not a nice thing to do. And he is an abuse victium, let that be clear as Day. He doesn't buy into the Legion, in fact if there was anywhere for him to go, I'd bet he'd have at least tried to run. But no, his dogs are dead, his tribe has been scattered and absorbed into the greater Legion and he is broken, like the rest of his peers.
Day might not be nice, but she isn't cruel enough to try and drag him by the nose. And that means that the Day wouldn't have pushed him too hard once she got the skivvy on him, he's a talker as well so that helps.
FTFY. The Legion doesn't follow the societal model of the nation-state. It use a far more traditional method of ordering civilization.The Legion is basically the Cycle of Abuse personified as an Empire.
You're not wrong.The Legion is basically the Cycle of Abuse personified as a nation-state.
In all honesty the Legion is still tribal; despite what Caesar thinks the Legion still acts tribal, with a singular leader who rules through strength of arms and charisma with his chosen flunkies leading in his name, and they still fight like tribals.FTFY. The Legion doesn't follow the societal model of the nation-state. It use a far more traditional method of ordering civilization.
Boone probably just needs a hug?
I've never seen a single FO:NV story with that kind of character and it's really fun to read, because of it.Of course the reasons why she wasn't telling was because the end result of that little escapade was far from heroic or worthy of admiration, at least to a Legionnaire.
Taking their stash and getting completely baked in in her Novac flat was something she doubted he'd all that great. All she really remembered was waking up beside Veronica half-naked a week later with most of her food eaten, all of her alcohol gone and the entire stash of chems used up in what was her biggest binge to date.
She'd promised herself that once all of this shit done, and Vegas was safe in House's metaphorical hands, she'd use some of her ridicules pay-check to rent the biggest suit the Gommorah had and enough drugs, alcohol and whores of various flavours to make the last one look positively tame in comparison.
