11 Welcome to Goodsprings!

Coming back to the gang. Six prepares to leave with them in an hour or two. Leaving Primm, it takes another two days to get to Good Springs with no encounters whatsoever.

Making Six's trigger finger itchy with anticipation to shoot something. Sadly, they still didn't meet any Opposition for him to take out his frustration.

"There's always hope, fingers crossed."

Regrettably for Six nothing happens.

Sulking because he didn't get anything to kill. Six and the crew arrive at the Prospector Saloon, where Betty jumps off the Wagon and she hugs an old man sitting on the deck of the saloon. Everyone then heads towards Betty to see what is going on.

"Sorry guys for surprising you this is my uncle Peter Ezekiel He's the younger brother of my mother and he's the last family member I have." 

"Yu'll, can call me Easy Pete. Was a prospector until I decided to settle here to get away from the NCR. Now I just take it easy and help out with the Brahmin and Bighorners. what happened dear."

Betty then begins to explain what happened to her husband on the trip.

"Those damn no-good slavers! they better be six under' if not there won't be a single piece of that leftover when I get my hands on them."

The group is astonished. That this old man would blow up people, well all except one. That would be Six.

"Names Six I'm the one that put them 6 feet under, get the joke. Ha..ha ha ha ha! I'm so funny. why is nobody laughing?"

Easy Pete asked the group

"is he gonna be ok?"

"God damn it guys. I feed you sugar, and you give me brahmin shit" Six Stormed off into the saloon.

Entering Six meets Sunny Smiles and her dog.

"Cheyenne, stay... Don't worry, she won't bite, unless I tell her to."

"Well, you don't have to worry about me either I don't bite unless I'm told to either."

A small chuckle escaped sunny smiles lips.

"Name's Six adventurer extraordinaire. So, what's your name good looking or is it angel because you fell from heaven."

Sonny Smiles couldn't contain it and broke out and laughter.

"Names Sunny Smiles. I help keep the town clear of Radscorpions, Geckos, and coyotes. I also sell hides from geckos and whatever else I can get from what I kill."

"Well, it sounds like you're an adventure as well my lady. Could I invite you to some refreshments? And maybe later at night, we can have some more fun for ourselves. Hehehehe."

Raising his eyebrows back and forth he leaves his arm to see if she will take it.

Sunny then smiles and takes his arm.

"I'll take you on those drinks and then we'll see if things progress from there. Do we have a deal?"

"You had me at drinks my lady."

Six smiles back at Sunny Smiles Leading her into the bar but while she's not looking, he picks up the skill magazines Fixin' Things, Meeting People, and Salesman Weekly.

"Well, hello there youngster names Trudy. Kind of the town mom, I like to meet newcomers. So, what brings you to our neck of the woods. heard yu'll folks Chatting it up with easy peat outside."

"Name's Six adventurer extraordinaire. And I'm here right now to buy this fine lady today a few drinks and above my friends outside." He then began to tell them of Miss Betty's Tragic backstory.

"Hope the poor dear is all right. Losing her husband and leaving her alone with her kids, it's such a tragic story." Trudy Teared up.

"Fuck, there's never a good story in the Wasteland is there. it's always tragic this, loss that, enslavement who. God, I hate this place. why can't we have any good stories, where the hero triumphs? They live happily ever after. But no, We always get this tragic Brahman shit"

Sunny rants until she cools off.

"There you can you tell me about Goodsprings?"

Six Replied trying to change the conversation.

"There's a general store just up the road. Run by a Chet. He doesn't have nothing fancy, but he's got your basics covered. Then there's Doc Mitchell who's almost next door to the gas station so you can't miss him and then there's me."

"If you're looking to wet your whistle, the Prospector Saloon. I'm the bartender here, I know everyone in town. Other than that, there's not much to see. Just people trying to scratch out a living."

"Oh, also I took over the saloon seven years ago. Some people have said its owner lived here, but no one knows who it was."

After drinking for a couple of hours he noticed that Cassidy walked in, and she came directly towards the bar saying hi to Trudy.

"Well seems you already met Trudy. She's famous for Knowing everyone in these parks. But I still can't believe that Betty is related to Easy Pete. God that just blows my mind!"

"Ha! Here I thought you didn't have a sense of humor Cassidy."

"Hey! Just because I don't laugh at those shitty jokes doesn't mean I lack a sense of humor."

"Oh, Betty is going to spend the whole day with Easy Pete. So, we're free for the whole day. That means I'm spending my time drinking the whole day. so, what-ja gonna do partner."

Cassidy told Six while teasing him.

"I'm working on what I'm going to be doing the whole day right now so can you leave me alone for a couple of hours."

Six Pointed towards Sunny.

"Good Hunting soldier. hope for the best"

Six woke up the next morning with two women in each arm. Six was in love with this world. Ok more in love with his upgrades, since he was Literally a Cyborg. That allowed him to last longer than he would with his old regular body.

"Maybe I could go, terminator on Caesar's ass. "I'll be back!", then Boom, you've been terminated."

Six carefully untangled himself from Cassidy's grasp and Sonny's legs and eventually got off the bed. With a stretch here and it's stretched there. He Equipped all his gear and prepared himself for the day.

Six sneakily swiped the copy of Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual and left. As he closed the door on Sonny's house, he took out Lucky and twirling it around. And it just hit him Like a stack of bricks he doesn't have any ammo for it.

Lamenting on his stupidity Six activated the merchant system and purchased: 1000 Rounds of .357 Mag Ammo for 500 MSP, 1000 Rounds of .357 Mag Ammo JSP for 600 MSP, and 1000 Rounds of .357 Mag Ammo HP for 600 MSP. Leaving with 950 MSP.

Six Realized that purchasing items in the merchant system is cheaper than getting them in this world. So, he might as well sell them in this world to make a profit. Then he can start his own business and see the money coming.

"Muah ha ha ha ha ha! Ow bit my tongue!"

Next Stop. The corpses of Geckos and any other Creature that gets in my way. They will pay with their blood. Muah ha ha ha ha ha!" "Ow bit my tongue again"!
