Which Job Do You Take?
Dusty Trails
The idea of breaking up a bandit gang appeals to you. You've got the skill set to get the job done, that much is certain. You're...technically a gunzerker, but with a fair amount of hunting/sniping training to boot resulting in a curious fusion. There are times when you can access an **** hyper-focus when time seems to slow and your dual-weilding accuracy becomes stupidly good. A friend of yours once referred to this as "high noon", but you didn't get the reference since wild west echo-shows aren't really your thing, never the less this "talent" has saved your life (and ended others) on a number of occasions. You accept the job.
After grabbing a bite at one of Sanctuary's greasy spoons (not bad given some of the meals you've had to endure in your past) you head to Scooter's in order to get signed up for a Catch-a-Ride account and arrange an introduction, having learned just by listening that Ellie happens to be Scooter's sister and that he's...protective of her. Still, he doesn't seem to mind. The fact that you both know Roland and are planning to help Ellie both go over well and he signs you up for a substantial discount. Naturally, you're given the warning that dire things will happen to you if you make fun of the way Ellie looks, but you'd no plan to do that anyway. Given your quirky face, wiry build and incomprehension of the concept of "fashion sense", you don't figure you have any cause critiquing what other people look like.
Upon arriving at Ellie's garage in The Dust, you're just in time for a rather interesting event. You see that the car crusher is set up with a vehicle in it...and someone else tied in the driver's seat. A woman who, you figure, must be Ellie is standing by. She is...quite a lot of woman. Not just tall but exceedingly wide. It seems everything about her (and by everything you mean everything) is..."family-sized" so to speak.
"I shoulda killed your fat ass when I had the chance!" screams the masked bandit in the car.
"Sorry, what you say?" came Ellie's answer in a rather sexy southern accent, "Ya gotta speak up!"
But there was no time as the crusher claimed both the car and the bandit, after which Ellie let out a short laugh that caused her truly titanic bosom and gargantuan belly to jiggle just enough.
"That was awesome," she concludes before turning to you getting out of your car, and waving as if nothing had just happened, "Oh howdy! I didn't see you there."
You approach with some trepidation, but also a fair amount of respect. You decide to accept (for the moment anyway) that whoever that bandit was, he deserved what happened to him. You give Ellie your best friendly grin and see it returned.
"Good evening, Ms. Ellie," you say, having been advised by Scooter not to use the Hodunk name around her, "Name's Otto. Came in reference to the job you posted. Said you could use a hand, preferably with a gun in it, in dealing with a little bandit problem."
"Oh yeah," she says, her already broad smile broadening even more as she looks you over, "Scooter said you was comin'. Don't get many visitors 'round here, 'specially not ones so cute."
The compliment takes you by surprise. You don't think you've ever been described as cute, but decide to accept it...and as the flirtation has already been initiated...
"And I don't normally get job offers from ladies as gorgeous as yourself, if you don't mind my saying so," you say with the easy air of one whose flirtation is never really taken seriously, "but here I am and I'm all yours. So let's have the details."
Now it's her turn to be surprised. Her eyes even narrow in mild suspicion, but as you were sincere (having always had a bit of a thing for "substantial" ladies) her expression returns to a sly smile. You can already tell you're going to like Ellie. At that moment...
What happens? Get the details? Sudden attack? Does Ellie come on to you?
