Agatha's House
Nov. 28th, 2011 12:01 amThe door opens onto the dusty shadows of a Wasteland mid-morning. "We're a good few hours north of Megaton," Ellen reports. "If you look up, we're directly under the remains of one of the old roads. Agatha lives up ahead- see that metal mast poking up out of those rocks? That's her broadcast antenna. Her house is on the other side of that gorge, hidden among the rocks."

"Don't do that, you'll make a mess, you silly horse."

Agatha is standing in the door frame behind him, watching- there ought to be somebody to see you off, after all. "Well," Paulson says, adjusting the small bundle of possessions slung over his shoulder, "I'm ready."
