You’re not from around here are you.

How can you tell?
You’ve got a squint in your eye, like the sun’s a little too bright.

You’re right. Maybe you could help me with some directions.
No, I’m not the man for that. I don’t know up from down. Although I still probably don’t look as lost as you do.

I can’t imagine why anyone would say they were.
Ha, it’s not that bad. At least, once you get used to that rusted iron smell. But I can see why an outsider would hate it.

Wrong, sir. I’ve been here all my life.
Maybe. But if you are new, don’t worry about that sickly feeling in your stomach. That’s just the radiation melting your insides.

Oh honey, don’t tease the poor thing.

I’m not teasing, just stating the facts.

Don’t pay him any mind dear. I think you fit right in.

Thanks. I do feel like a bit of a stranger.
I’m sure that will pass in time.
After all, it’s not where you’re from that’s important, but where you go from here.

No, he’s right, I stick out like a sore thumb.
Well, that’s not entirely a bad thing. I certainly wouldn’t mind the attention.

And besides, it’s not where you’re from that’s important, but where you go from here.

I appreciate it. I actually do feel like one of the locals.
You are one of us. Whether that starts today or tomorrow is besides the point.

I don’t need you to defend me.
Oh of course not. I didn’t mean to imply you did. I was just saying there’s nothing wrong with being new.

Well, I know better than to argue with my wife.
Still, if I were a betting man, I’d put twenty caps on you being from one of those vaults.

What makes you think I came from a vault?
Just a feeling. See, I met a vault dweller once before, about three years ago. He was just a kid, really. Even more wide-eyed than you.

Do you know where I can find this person?
I don’t know if you’d want to. Right around the time he was here, a couple settlers got snatched up by slavers.
You could try the Temple of the Union. Some of the free men might know what happened to him.

Tell me more about yourself.
Not much to tell, I’m afraid. Most people here don’t do anything save live and breathe.
Me, I like to do a little drinking in between.

Anything you can tell me about Megaton?
If you want information, I’d talk to someone smart like the Doc or Moira.
If you want absolution, there’s the church or the bottle. My wife and I disagree on which is more holy.

Goodbyes
Don’t get lost out there.
See ya.

Dempster Hellos
They say you can dodge radiation, if only you could see it.

Something I can do for you?

Still hanging around, huh. At this rate, you’ll be one of the locals soon enough.

You again? Ha, people know you better than they know me, and I live here.

Kristen Hellos
Hello dear.

The Stahls run a very family oriented tavern. Not like that Moriarty fellow. There are some shady characters in that saloon.

Don’t worry about what my husband says. You’ll fit right in.

See? What did I tell you about fitting in? You had nothing to worry about.

I hope you’ll visit the church when you have a moment. 

You can find Confessor Cromwell out preaching by Atom’s Gift.

Megaton is blessing for all of us.

Conversations

Honey, you really should spend more time at the church.

I do. The people at the Lantern are probably sick of my face.

You know what I mean. 

You know I love you Kristen, but that bomb makes me feel sick. I don’t know if I can pray to something that wrenches my guts.

Conversation 2

Isn’t it refreshing to have new people around town?

Depends on the people. You wouldn’t want a gang of raiders in here, would you?

Sure. If they’re willing to convert themselves to our ways.

I think you’d have better luck teaching a molerat to mamba.

Conversation 3

We need to take more walks. Doc Church says you need more exercise.

And what do you call walking up and down those railings? It certainly feels like a workout.

You’re right, dear. They really should build more housing on the lower levels.
