Nag, nag, nag...finish your story H2. (I can't nag too much--I haven't finished mine yet either.

I couldn't even build a friggin' house, much less anything else. Give me a game where I have a sword, gun, or fishing rod (hey, if I can't catch fish in Rl, I'm going to do it on a game) and I'm happy.

Do I need to start nagging you, too? I've got plenty of nag to go around.

<<shys away quietly so you don't pound me for telling you to fic.>>

I like the Sims. The way it handles child-raising is a bit funky. I sit for hours working on my Sim-city, Sim-tower, and the Sims.

Asmiley · 12th December 2001, 06:42 PM

cool.

More fic now H2!

<<<mumble mumble>>>

Okay - i know - it's been forever -- but i had this other story that just popped into my head and had to write it - and i had 5 days vacation from work (which is when the story decided to begin) - and just before that i had this mad rush of crap to do so there wouldn't be a huge mess when i got back, so there was no room in my brain for impromtu fic --- however, have no fear -- it's Friday here! and that means - i'm gonna slack at work and write this thing instead! bwahahahahahahaha -- just don't tell my boss!

The Skum Pit

Jack and Ian, followed by Dogmeat (yes, that's really the dog's name in the game) make their way to a shabby building proclaiming itself the "Skum Pitt".

"This must be the place," Jack stated, quirking an eyebrow at the shack.

"The drinks are bad, but the company's worse," Ian said, blandly.

"Great." Jack entered the building and strolled to the bar, having spotted the proprietor of the drinking establishment. "Hey, how's it going?"

"What can I get you?"

"A beer."

The bartender handed Jack a beer and gladly took his money.

Jack noticed an odd implement at the end of the bar. "Hey, what's in the vase?"

"It's not a vase. It's an urn. It's the ashes of my dear departed wife," the bartender replied, sadly.

"Oh. Sorry to hear about that."

Then a fight started off to Jack's left. A man and woman were yelling at each other. He heard the woman yell 'Oh, Saul,' then run crying into the corner.

"What's that all about?" Jack asked Ian.

Ian shrugged. "Don't know."

Jack scratched his head and wandered over to talk to the woman. He learned about Saul - her boyfriend - who is a boxer. She doesn't like that he's a boxer, but thinks he won't listen to her.

"Hey, tell ya what, I'll see what I can do," Jack suggested, patting her shoulder.

"You would do that?" she asked.

"Yeah. Sure."

"Thanks."

Jack nodded, then made his way back over to Ian and Dogmeat.

A grand thanks and ten truckloads of choccie for that thanks.

Highlander II · 15th December 2001, 05:31 AM

yep --

dunno when i'll get around to more tho ---

you'll just have to wait and see ---

Morrigan · 15th December 2001, 05:32 AM

SWEET! More fic. Wait, heh heh, H2 is my fic hookup. If I don't tell them what I mean when I say 'fic,' it'll confuse their feeble little minds.

okay - now that all of ascifi knows that morrigan has completely lost her mind ------

i'll post more eventually ---

can't guarantee anything definite - but i WILL finish this fic - why? b/c the MOB, or at least Asmiley and Morrigan will bug me until i do

Morrigan · 19th December 2001, 04:02 AM

<poke> I never HAD a mind. I can't LOSE a mind if in fact I never posessed one.

And why aren't you writing? Has Spike taken you over? Hmm? Where is Mike? Just as soon as I get use to your avatar, you change it.

you're one to talk!

what happened to Homer??

and yeah -- Spike kinda did take over -- i've done one story, a 'missing scene' (sort of - more a POV piece), and the beginning of another -- all Spike-based -- sorry -- he's just so damned charming sometimes!! -- okay - maybe pushy is more appropriate, but it's Spike ---

i'll get back on this soon --- may have to dig out my Fallout walkthrough to remember what i did so i can write it --- but, i'll get there ----

<internal musings of the Fallout Character>

Ahem - forget loading the freaking game - we're not playing now, I'm thinking. Actually, I'm gonna take a look at this contraption the fool back at the Vault called a 'PIPBoy' - whatever the heck that is. Okay, this button <presses button> shows me a map with a lovely picture of the beautiful billboard-like display for this town. Great.

What does this button do? <presses next button> A list? There's a list? Does this mean I have more things to do? <taps screen> Wow! Stuff's crossed off! I've accomplished something:

1. Rid Shady Sands of Rad Scorpion problem
2. Get Radscorpion tails for Razlo

(psst, i'd put strikethroughs on those, but i don't think VBCode does that)

<taps screen 2x's> Vault 13:

1. Locate water chip

nope - that one's not crossed off. Probably won't be for a long time. Man, doesn't ANYONE have this stinking waterchip?

<taps button then switches PIPBoy off and tucks it into a pocket> That thing it worthless.

Okay, my travels to date: I've left the nice cozy vault, travelled across the sands to a small town, located Ian - still not entirely sure what he's good for - found another vault, long-since abandoned, full of rats and vermin when I got there, and got these cool leather things (well, they do offer some protection). Then, I had to snuff out some giant scorpions, and trudge across the damned desert to get here - Junktown. And that guy, that mayor/sherrif/general store guy, he reminds me of someone and I just can't seem to figure out who!

"O'Neill," a deep voice calls from my right.

I look, it's Teal'c. What's he doing here? Especially in my internal musings? Ah hell, who cares.

"Hello, Teal'c. What's up?"

"The man to whom you are referring...."

"Yeah?"

"He resembles you, O'Neill."

"What? Have you lost your Jaffa mind? He does not..." *Hey, wait a minute! He does look like me! Oh for cryin' out loud! OW!*

"O'Neill, did you damage yourself?"

Remind me to not smack myself in the head w/ a .10mm pistol next time.........
