“Hey, Marce.”

“What do you say about a fella who’s kinky but monogamous?” 

@beenpole​ asked: “that is not an appropriate question to ask a lady you’ve just met.”

          “Oy. ... I’m sorry.” He looks to his feet, a bit sheepishly, but not quite as much as he probably should look. When he’d asked Marcie if she “fell in” after coming back from the restroom, he had thought it would be funny, but the look on her face is telling him he’s screwed this one up pretty badly. He does honestly feel a little bad about it, but it’s still kind of funny.

Visitors to Novac weren’t uncommon, no, but rarely did Boone recognize them so readily. Marcie Lindell was easy to recognize anyway, what with her face plastered over every NCR recruitment poster worth looking at. She wore less lipstick in real life though, Boone knew that from the last time he’d seen her in person.

He’d called it babysitting. That seemed to be what her escort was supposed to be doing, although it seemed he was more interested in losing his stomach in the medical tent this time. Something he’d ate maybe.

Of course Boone waited until his shift was up before he ventured down from the dinosaur, and this time instead of a beeline to the dark safety of his room he headed elsewhere.

aside from reading people’s rules and not taking this hobby personally:

learn about the other person’s muse!! there are hc posts people usually do, wishlists, etc. of course so often we as writers care the most about our muses but like... this is a collaborative effort. it’s about story telling with others. come up with ideas and share them, and eventually with two brains together it can be something HELLA dope.

so like, reading about another’s muse not only gives you ideas on where your muse could fit in to really make them shine, but it makes other people feel like you care. and makes all the hard work put into characters and their blog all the worth while. it gets both parties so excited for the thread because there is stakes for both characters!!!

“You’re seeming awfully chipper today.”

He’d arrived a few days ago for some PERSONAL business, and he thought it prudent to pay her a NON-BUSINESS related visit as to help ease her mind. When last he’d seen her she seemed STRESSED ( though that could have just been him thinking too much into things ). Adjusting his finely crafted coat ( courtesy of present company ) he glances at her, head canted to the side before he continues.

“Did you have a high volume shipment come in today or something?”

A small joke at the behest of habits he’d noticed she seemed to have. Not everyone enjoyed the responsibility of a position of authority & importance, but for some it was absolute NIRVANA in every sense of the word.
