freeside was a nasty place, to him. the degeneracy of new vegas on the outskirts of it, unpoliced and uncivilised. it was a shame the only monorail to completely skirt around freeside was under ncr control. vulpes would find no luck there, both from not wanting to be around the ncr in general on top of it being the ncr. freeside it was, though the stench was heavy and unpleasant. ( it smelt of poverty. ) but he had already attained a passport into vegas, so the hardest part of this whole mission was over. the mission in itself felt utterly ridiculous, but vulpes was in no position or state of mind to start arguing about it. ( he didn't care too much, the fresh air would do him good, stifling as it may be. )

and thankfully, liveliness aside, vegas was bright enough to light up the mojave for miles. the absence of the sun was quite a welcoming condition to be traveling under. but something -- someone -- catches his sight almost instantaneously. stark white hair, down past her waist. it was an easy spot, against the shadowed building talking to someone who's face vulpes doesn't care to look at. he waits, only feeling slightly awkward, until they leave, then he speaks, clumsily and all over the place, and for once he's afraid he can't find his words.

𝚆𝙷𝙰𝚃   𝙰   𝙷𝙾𝚁𝚁𝙸𝙳   𝙿𝙻𝙰𝙲𝙴.    Every   crevice   and   shadowy   corner   of   Freeside   held   depravity   and   filth   —   illicit   dealings   to   senseless   murder.    Those   without   the   caps   or   the   right   connections   to   enter   the   Strip   found   themselves   trapped   in   the   endless   cycle   of   poverty   and   crime.    For   Vasta,   it   was   a   necessary   cycle.    [  .  .  .  ]   Where   there   was   the   desperate   and   the   destitute,   there   was   both   profit   and   trades   to   be   made.    Such   as   a   handful   of   caps   given   in   order   to   secure   another   supply   of   chems.    Indulging   in   this   vice   that   made   it   possible   for   her   to   truly   harness   the   Sight.    Without   them,   Vasta's   gift   showed   little   more   than   frayed   pieces   of   disconnected   scenes   that   held   no   meaning   or   use.

When   she   turned   and   found   another   staring   at   her   with   a   discomforting   intensity   she   froze   in   place.   Fear   soared   in   her   chest,   thinking   this   man   meant   to   rob   her,   or   worse.    '  You're   like   me.  '    The   man's   words   were   odd   and   made   little   sense   at   first,   but   as   Vasta   stared   back   at   him   the   realization   grew.    His   skin   was   ghostly   pale   and   scorched   in   places   where   the   sun   had   touched   it,   his   eyes   an   unusual   shade   striking   blue   —   Vasta   had   seen   the   like   countless   times   in   her   own   reflection.    ❝    So   we   are.    ❞
