ulysses week 2023, day one: dry wells

twisted hairs are dead, lost at dry wells, died in vulpes' smile. won't discuss their fate with you, not now - their past is mine to keep.

obsidian had to make ulysses an antagonistic character becuase they knew he and the courier would be unstoppable as besties. Like they'd be the emo cowboy ryan and sharpay evans the mojave never asked for but gets anyway. those two traumatized, plot armored to the teeth mailmen would win the battle of hoover dam armed with flagpoles and the power of friendship as a drunken sidequest just to graffiti it and divert the power to small blossoming towns across the mojave.

After the battle, Ulysses would say some shit like "the bear and the bull could not be trusted with this old world relic, as they do not seek to learn from such relics, rather they wallow in them and use them as weapons against their neighbors and community. we must defend this relic from those who seek to use it only in that capacity," and then courier 6 would be like, "yeah, man. so true. wanna watch me do a sick backflip off the side of the dam i wont break my neck this time i promise,"

Been a while since I posted one of these. Some of the characters were kinda hard to place in a specific category for this prompt, but I think I got it somewhat accurate lol

Walk back home from the divide is easier when you have a friend to share the burden with you

[dykedvonte]

How I imagine Ulysses would react if the Courier just like never came to divide for his elaborate Rube Goldberg, saw trap existential lesson while also being able to see them fucking it up in Vegas:

courier six waking up on the ground: whuh happen

ulysses: you tried to ride a bighorner and got kicked in the head. lied down next to you so people would think we were chilling

six: why do i taste beer? am i drunk?

ulysses: poured an entire beer into your mouth. you drank it quite easily

six: nice. thank you

a courier. wore an old world flag on his back. he was the one who pulled me out there, told me where elijah had gone. helped me heal up, listened to my story. he… sympathized.

what kind of drunk i think each of the fnv companions/honorary companions get

Boone: sad drunk. he drinks like once a year and when he does he has one beer and starts feeling like a mitski song. he always leaves the function/bar/club/etc to go stand in the yard and stare pensively up into the night sky.

arcade: horny drunk. mr "overt flirtation will get you anywhere," actually drinks fairly frequently but only really gets drunk once every few months. absolutely the worlds worst flirt and he knows it, his strategy is just to tousle his hair a little, lounge on surfaces in a slutty white button up with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and wait for someone to come make out with him. it always works.

benny: also horny drunk, but in an obnoxious, over the top way. terrible flirt but earnestly tries his best. lives for drunk cigs and is usually the guy to go over and make out with arcade.

Cass: we already see this is game but crabby drunk who just kinda wants to sit alone in a silent room with her whiskey like an alcoholic white dad in his office on a weeknight.

Lily: sleepy drunk but she doesnt drink around the grandkids, she thinks it'll be a bad influence on them

Raul: chill drunk. he's pretty much the same but more tired and more jokey

Vulpes: "im not drunk," drunk. thinks he has the alcohol tolerance of a bull but actually has the tolerance of a waifish goat. spends the entire night confidently slurring out the phrase "i'm not even that drunk,", shit talking every single person at the function (to their face and behind their back), starting petty drama, and listening in on other people's conversations. All star flip cup champion. always throws up in the yard and finds a way to blame in on "being sickened by the profligate's behavior," rather than alcohol poisonig. thinks that anything he did during a blackout doesnt count because he doesnt remember it, therefore it didn't happen.

Veronica: supportive drunk: Veronica's the girl who sits in the club bathroom and cries with you while you tell her your traumatic backstory. usually the one to talk down boone and make sure Vulpes got home safe.

ulysses: infodump drunk/sad drunk. self explanatory.

rex: no

ede: NO

I started down that lonesome road. geiger playthrough update: So far, Ulysses reminds me of geiger when he was in his "I'm going to start The Great War 2" era. But if he was a dork
