"Ugh, how much stuff do you have?" asked a nineteen year old. He was carrying a box full of junk and put it on the table. He then looked over at the brown haired woman who swept the floor. "Oh, quite a bit." said the woman, fixing her hair bun a bit.
The teen sighed and ran a hand through his messy blue hair as complete black eyes scanned the contents of the box. His name is 2D, formally Stuart Tusspot of Vault 101. He once lived in the vault but escaped after learning the Overseer was trying to kill him.
Now he lives here in Megaton with his lover: Murdoc Niccals. As 2D thought of Murdoc, he was brought to their adventure of drifting around the Wasteland for a bit.
It wasn't till the end of the trip that 2D learned something about his destiny: that he was the peace-bringer from a 200 year old prophecy. The bluenette sighed deeply, that trip was six weeks ago and he still had no idea of what to do next. Till there was a plan, Murdoc had suggested that 2D get a job to pass the time.
So he got a job here at Crater-side Supplies, of course that just pissed his lover off. Murdoc and the shop owner: Moria Brown, have trouble getting along, especially when she sends 2D on 'errands'. Luckily nothing bad ever happens...okay, nothing bad ever happens because Murdoc always follows him on his errands. His lover was very protective and possessive of him.
2D was brought back when a few more boxes were put on the table. "I need you to put these on the right shelf, okay, it's easy, the medical aid goes on the middle shelf, the clothing goes on top, and the extra stuff goes on the bottom." said Moria. "It's just a box of junk." said 2D. "Yes, but this junk is valuable, it can be used to make things like Rock-it launchers and Railroad guns." said Moria. She walked away and pulled out two blueprints.
"See?" asked Moria. 2D took the plans and nodded at them. "Okay, so junk CAN be valuable." said 2D. He gave the plans back and grabbed a box to start sorting.
As 2D put the items away, he once again thought of the prophecy. How was he to bring peace if he didn't even know where to start?! Plus how can he save the Wasteland when people lost hope long ago? 2D sighed but then shrugged. 'Eh, I'll wing it, it's what worked for Muds and me so far.' thought 2D.
2D soon finished putting the things away and looked at the last box full of scrap metal. "Hey Moria, what should I do about the scrap metal?" asked 2D. "Oh, that's for Walter, he needs the scrap metal to help with repairs when the water treatment plant gets busted pipes." said Moria. 2D nodded and looked out the window to see the sun was almost at the highest point. 'Almost noon.' thought 2D.
The bluenette grabs the box of scrap metal and looks to his boss. "If I take this to Walter, can I go on my lunch break?" asked 2D. "Of course, it is noon, well, noonish." said Moria. 2D nodded and carried the box of scrap metal out of the shop and started walking up.
As he headed to the water treatment plant, he saw a black old man with white hair with a white beard smoking. "Hey Walter." greeted 2D. Walter turned to him and gave a nod. "Hey peace-bringer." said Walter. 2D smirked at that and shook his head.
After he and Murdoc brought peace to Arefu and The Family, the news spread fast and everyone in Megaton soon found out. Things were a bit crazy the first week back, people kept praising him and giving him gifts. It was nice of them, but it also was too much. He was just glad things cooled down after the first week, though people still call him peace-bringer.
"Please call me 2D, Walter." sighed the bluenette. Walter laughed and put his cigarette out. "Sorry, just teasing ya a bit, so, that more scrap metal?" asked Walter. 2D nodded and handed over the box. "Thanks 2D, I'll see you around." said Walter.
"See ya." said 2D. He walks away and crosses over more walkways.
He looks around Megaton, seeing everyone go on with their normal routines. It was peaceful, very peaceful. "But how can I bring peace like this?" whispered 2D. He shook his head and headed to Moriarty's Saloon.
Before you say anything, no, 2D wasn't here to get drunk, he was here for his friend: Gob, and Murdoc. Both work here for an old bastard named Moriarty. 2D hates the guy, and he hates the teen back. After all, he DID stand up against him when he hurt Gob.
2D walked into the bar to see it was pretty empty today, usually people come in during lunch. 2D walked to the bar to see a Ghoul in a stained white shirt and tan pants. This is Gob, 2D's first friend here. The bluenette blinked as he watched Gob hit a radio.
"Stupid piece of junk." grumbled Gob. "Radio not working?" asked 2D. Gob suddenly looked up and smiled a bit. "Hey 'D, how is everything?" asked Gob. "Good, I'm on my lunch break." said 2D.
Gob nodded and hit the radio. "Something wrong?" asked 2D. "Ugh, the radio works fine but we just get the stupid Enclave station." said Gob. 2D tilted his head a bit, what was an Enclave? "I just want to listen to Three Dog." sighed Gob.
"Enclave, Three Dog?" asked 2D. "Oh right, I forgot, you're still new to the Wasteland; Three Dog is the host, DJ, and news guy at Galaxy News Radio, he's also the biggest Enclave hater out there." said Gob. "Okay, but who are the Enclave?" asked 2D. "Just a bunch of assholes saying that they're the last of the American Government, but in reality, they're just a bunch of evil, selfish bastards." huffed Gob. 2D nodded when suddenly, the static stopped.
"Oh finally, it's working." said Gob. 2D stared at the radio and listened. "Hello children, this is ol' Three Dog, awhoooo, bringing you the truth, no matter how much it hurts." said the radio. The bluenette chuckled at that, he liked the catch phrase. "It's hell down in D.C., what with all the Super Mutants and Enclave bastards walking around, luckily the Brotherhood of Steel is around." said Three Dog.
"Brotherhood of Steel?" muttered 2D. "Ya, they're a group of people in silver power armor who protect the innocent and fight the Enclave, a never ending battle but at least with the Brotherhood, we have protection." said Gob. 2D nodded and listened to the radio again. "Those Enclave bastards, more like 'Enslave' since that's all they're doing to us, enslaving us!" said Three Dog. "How true, stupid assholes." said Gob.
"Anyway kiddies, here's some more music, and keep listening as ol' Three Dog fights the good fight." said Three Dog. 2D stared as music starts playing. "The good fight?" asked 2D. "Ya, fighting against the Enclave, those bastards are pretty much killing us." said Gob.
2D nodded and looked around, where was Murdoc, shouldn't he be here by now? Just then there was a loud crash from upstairs. "What was that?" asked 2D. "Oh, Moriarty is still giving Murdoc hell for leaving, even after six weeks, and also for not bringing in the caps." said Gob, cleaning a glass.
"Wait, caps?" asked 2D. "Don't you remember, Murdoc used to sleep with all the women who came in here, now that you and him are together, he's not sleeping with the women anymore." said Gob. The bluenette felt touched by that when he heard a loud slam.
Stomping down the stairs is a twenty-eight year old man with black hair, tan skin with a green hue and mismatched eyes of black and red. He wore a long sleeved dark gray shirt with dark jeans and Cuban heeled boots, he also had on a golden inverted cross. This was none other than Murdoc Niccals.
Gob put down a bottle of rum and resumed cleaning the glasses. Murdoc snatched it up and chugged the bottle down to half way. "You okay, Mudsy?" asked 2D. Murdoc glared but his gaze quickly softened.
"Better, but that ass needs to stay out of my business, bastard needs to go fuck himself." snarled Murdoc. "He already has, why do you think some of the mirrors are covered in jizz?" asked Gob, eying a glass he was cleaning. It was silent as 2D shook his head. "I did NOT need to know that." said 2D. Murdoc just laughed and looked at the radio.
"GNR is back?" asked Murdoc. "Thankfully yes, I was just about to toss it if I had to hear anymore of that Enclave station." said Gob. The Ghoul turned away as Murdoc took a seat next to the teen.
He then pulled 2D into a deep kiss. "That bitch being nice?" asked Murdoc. 2D could only laugh at it. "Yes Mudsy, don't fret." teased 2D.
Gob peeked back and smiled happily. He was happy for his friend and for Murdoc. 'About time ol' Murdoc settles down.' thought Gob. So, Gob re-joined his friends and they talked, listening to Three Dog's radio show as well.
