Wipe The Slate Clean

Cait

Has unfortunately vivid dreams. They arent always bad, thankfully, but they are always surreal. It makes getting to sleep every night a reluctant surrender because she knows she will feel whatever dream awakes her.

Post Benign intervention she puts on some weight. She's visibly healthy now and her hair isn't falling out anymore. Although it still is growing back in so occasionally she keeps her hair messy to hide the patchwork.

Codsworth

Has been out of cleaning supplies for years so has been cleaning via heating things. Anything flammable he attempts to boil but that's asking for rust.

He can tap into local radios and if Sole let's him he will keep an ear out for their Pipboy frequency so he can get things ready for them when they are on the way home.

Curie

In her synth body she is actively straining her voice some to make it sound like her original voice box. This occasionally causes her to lose her voice or have voice breaks.

She tailors each stimpak she makes for the person she makes it for. Exact dosages scale to the patients size, activity level, tendency to get into situations.

Danse

Something Something awkwardly holding Sole as they sleep and he only moves every hour or so. Not for his own comfort, absolutely not because he's twisted as much like a pretzel as he can be, but for Sole's. He is trying to think of how he used to sleep on Cutler's shoulder after long missions. How he used to hold Cutler when Cutler slept on him. Tldr he's awkwardly trying to cradle Sole and cover their ears from any vertibird or power armour noise. Even if they are in bed. In sanctuary. Old habits are filled with a mourning love.

He doesn't have a favourite beer. Not that he'll admit. But he DOES have a least favourite. He won't admit that either but you can tell by the slight frown on his lips and furrowed of his brow.

Deacon

He wasnt bluffing about the secret handshake for the railroad. He was honest. He made it fully and has a book he's drawn out with each of the hand gestures being snippets and extracts of hands from old shopping catalogues and posters.

His code name is some sort of rank in the church. I don't know if he is still Christian, but I can imagine maybe he was in his youth. That joining the UP Deathclaws was senseless lynchings justified by bible verses Deacon chose without yet understanding or caring for any nuance that contradicted him. That the code name he wears in the railroad is an eternal reminder to himself of how he twisted faith to justify his actions in his youth, and how he must to atone.

Dogmeat

If laying down when getting good scratches: he kicks all legs instead of just one.

Can get out of any collar put on him. And any harness. He refuses to be robed.

Hancock

Ghouls have a very funky circadian rhythm. Hancock can go days or even a week without sleep and then not last thirty minutes without yawning. The chems don't help either. The only reason this man doesn't have bags under his eyes some days is because they melted off.

Currently the second in the weekly karaoke at the third rail.

MacCready

Knows every scout knot possible from growing up in Little Lamplight. Occasionally makes hanging nets or bags when he needs them. He made Duncan a beautiful hammock.

Hates sleeping alone. Not that he wants to sleep in barracks. He hated sharing a room in the Gunners, afterall. He means he wants to sleep in the same room at the people he trusts. Sleeping in a room and waking alone is a harsh reminder he's alone. That Lucy is gone and Duncan is miles and miles away. That he is alone and it is very much his own fault even if everyone tells him otherwise.

Nick Valentine

Has a collection of old detective movie holotapes he occasionally plays to himself. He will watch them manually with Ellie too, but he always keeps one handy to watch in his head whilst getting his wires or joints sorted.

He occasionally dad monologues at Ellie over her posture or chair. He isn't human but he damn well remembers the aches that a bad chair can give you.

Piper

She is ridiculously good at scrabble. Going against her is like trying to out flex a super mutant.

She keeps a picture of her Dad and Nat in her little cap tucked into the lining. It helps her remember what she is fighting for on the tougher days.

Preston Garvey

He knows how to service wheel chairs and some prosthetics. He's not the best but he knows what is right and what is dangerous.

Runs cold. He wraps up like that for a reason.

Strong

He is rather fascinated by the idea of baths. He remembers the verse of Lady MacBeth trying in vain to wash the spot from her hands and can be seen looking to his own hands whenever he's near water. He'll let you know when he sees a spot.

Prefers mirelurk to human meat. Not for the taste. More for the enrichment of mmmm crab leg.

X6-88

He is severely competitive. Never with a human. But with the other coursers he holds himself to the highest standard. If they have outdone him then he takes it personally and will not stop even if he levels the playing field.
