Companions react to Sole picking up a plunger and X6 saying "I bet that brings back memories"

Original post

Maccready

"It brings back memories for me too... of that one time I ate way too much cram..."

Hes so confused like yeah plumbing was way better pre boom, but people still use the bathroom...?

Hancock

"What I wouldn't give for actual plumbing. Gotta say the bathroom situation in Goodneighbor leaves something to be desired... and I don't even have a nose..."

Seriously who tf pisses in a trash can? Nasty. Probably why there's always construction on those bathroom things by the entrance of goodneighborh.

Cait

"I know right? Must've been nice, actually havin' plumbing back then, but as far as I'm concerned just give me a hole and I'm good."

Shes serious too. She doesn't need anything fancy, but it still would be nice. no use wishin for something that's never gonna happen though.

Danse

"Glad to know the brotherhood is more advanced with our plumbing..."

Hes dead serious should you ever travel with both x6 and Danse everything is gonna turn into a dick measuring contest. Funny thing is if they could ever get over trying to out do eachother they actual have a lot in common.... (They both have a fetish for getting in and out of power armour)

Curie

"Oh fascinating Monsieur X6, could you tell me more about plumbing in the institute? Oh or if you've come up with a substitute for plumbing!"

She (like she does most things) finds a way to take data on the small talk that gets her into an hour long discussion on the institutes plumbing system with X6. She's thrilled.

Deacon

"Can tell you've never gone bald otherwise you'd be on a first name basis with plungers....

He's practically shitting himself whenever X6 is around because duh corser, but this actually was some much needed comedic relief.

Piper

"Woah, woah woah. The big bad institute death machine has never heard of a plunger? Ha no one is gonna belive that, but im still putting it in the paper anyway. Truth prevail or whatever."

She thinks it's honestly hilarious, and she's been looking for something a bit more light hearted to help keep spirits during such a depressing subject matter as the boogy man's assassin.

Nick

"Is there not plumbing back at the institute? With all there technology I think I'm a bit concerned you've never heard of a plunger...."

Is genuinely curious. He would like to know more about where he came from, not because he actually cares, but to better defend himself. On this one though he'll indulge his curiosity a bit.

Preston

"Good find general I bet we could use the material at one of the settlements!"

Doesn't even process what X6 said is more fascinated with the new piece of salvage. It isn't until sole starts laughing at X6 that he finally realizes and starts laughing along with them.

X6-88

"Ma'am/Sir I hardly see what you find amusing about that statement... Besides its so covered in irradiated vile how was I supposed to know what it was?"

Hes embarrassed. You got him good. He'd probably be adorning a slight blush and an unusual stutter to his voice. In retrospect what he said was kinda foolish and he can see that, but he's not gonna let you in on that.

(Not gonna lie might start writing more of these to go along with past shitposts because all though it's not the best quality I really enjoyed writing it lmfao)
