Work Text:
Vulpes: Vulpes brags about his snowboarding skills. He has actually never seen a snowboard in his life(the Legion lives in the fucking desert). He ends up strapped to a ski and tossed down a green run. Somehow crashes spectacularly anyways.
Caesar: Cites health issues. Refuses to participate. Spends the entire time sipping hot chocolate at the ski resort.
Lanius: A snowboarder. One of those fucking terrifying snowboarders. You ever see a 7ft hunk a man barrelling straight at you on a snowboard? Yes, that’s Lanius. Also refuses to take off his ski gear, even inside. (This is actually because he can’t figure out the release mechanism for his snowboarding helmet, so he simply never takes it off.)
Also secretly doesn’t know how to hockey stop(or stop at all), so instead he just barrels through everything in his way because he’s a huge armored boulder on a snowboard. Nothing survives a collision with him.
The Courier: Somehow got on ski patrol, is zooming up and down the mountain on the skidoo.
Arcade: He’s the first aid dispatcher. Riding in the skidoo with the Courier, running around trying to patch Vulpes up after he crashed into a pole, and trying to patch up 3 others after Lanius crashed into a pole and the fucking pole toppled over.
Boone: Dragged kicking and screaming to the resort. Ends up sitting at the lodge, sipping black coffee, and muttering about the cold (Caesar is also there, sipping hot chocolate). When finally convinced to ski, he’s surprisingly good but refuses to admit it. Glares at anyone who compliments him.
Yes Man: He’s the lift operator.
Mr. House: Also the lift operator. Watching everything via resort surveillance cameras from the comfort of a heated suite. Sends Securitron snowplows to clear paths that no one asked to be cleared. Also bans Lanius from entering the lodge after his helmet incident damages a chandelier. (This starts a fistfight)
Dogmeat: Having the best time of his life. Even manages to steal some meatballs from the lodge during Lanius’ fistfight.
Veronica: Somehow snuck in and smuggled herself into the lifts. She builds a sled from a repurposed metal serving tray from the lodge. Mr. House has to ban her after that.
Lily Bowen: She tries snowboarding but keeps accidentally snapping the boards in half due to her size. Ends up making a makeshift sled from a broken snowboard and carrying Dogmeat around the resort, both of them howling with joy. She also knits the Courier a scarf. It ends up ridiculously oversized for the Courier, but they wear it anyways.
Rex: Is fascinated by the snow but keeps short-circuiting his cybernetic parts every time he dives into it. The Courier keeps trying to dry him off with a hairdryer, to little success.
Rose of Sharon Cassidy (Cass): She challenges Vulpes to a snowball fight and absolutely destroys him. Her aim is terrifying, and she takes no prisoners.
Lanius (again): Continues said snowball fight…on the ski lift. Somehow breaks off an icicle and hurls it at Vulpes.
Vulpes (again): Dodges the icicle. Falls off the ski lift in the process.
Arcade (again): Complaining with the Courier after they have to skidoo over to where Vulpes fell.
Lanius: Laughs maniacally as Vulpes falls, then promptly gets into another fight when Caesar yells at him for damaging the ski lift. Lanius responds by hurling snowballs at Caesar through the lodge window in retaliation.
Caesar: Now covered in snow from Lanius’s barrage, demands someone “remove the barbarian.” Boone just laughs.
Yes Man (again): Enthusiastically cheers everyone on from the lift controls, accidentally speeds up the lift so fast that passengers are flung off at the top like carnival rides. Vulpes (finally back on the lift) is the first casualty of this "enthusiasm."
Vulpes(yet again): Loudly claims falling off the ski lift was part of his plan to “distract” his enemies. Lanius snowboards down and accidentally runs over him. Vulpes tries to “subtly” manipulate Lanius into believing he was purposefully trampled. He's not having a great time.
Lanius(again, again): Snowboards over Vulpes again, this time on purpose, cause "it was part of Vulpes' plan". He's having a great time. Crashes into a pole in the process cause he doesn't know how to hockey stop. The pole falls over first.
Arcade: Trying to patch up Vulpes after his second trampling. Gives up when the pole Lanius knocked over falls on him.
Mr. House: Furiously repairing the poles Lanius crashed into(Lanius is fine, the poles are not). He tries to broadcast a loud, unhelpful announcement over the resort speakers: “All skiers are hereby warned that reckless snowboarding is not covered by the resort insurance policy. You will be banned.”
Lanius: Lanius doesn't have insurance so he doesn't care.
Caesar: Chatting with Boone over hot chocolate, both of them tiredly watching Lanius fistfight a pole(and win). "It's easier to let them apologize afterwards than to stop them."
Mr. House: Actually bans Lanius from the lifts.
Lanius: After being banned from the lifts, he picks up the snowboard and nonchalantly WALKS to the top of the slope. What a power move. Slides down again, hitting a snowplow in the process.
Mr House: Bans Lanius from the lifts. (Again). Lanius manually climbs up the ski lift and hangs on like an overly armored koala.
Yes-Man: Yes-man accidentally sets the ski lifts to 3917% speed, hurling riders off at breakneck pace. Lanius stubbornly clings on, yelling “THIS IS A TEST OF STRENGTH, YOU DISHONORABLE CURS!”
The Courier: Is given the job of skidooing to Lanius to deliver the insurance papers after he gets flung through a pole like a flying, overly armored koala.
Dogmeat: Exciteldly, chasing the Courier's skidoo, he races after them. He grabs a snowball mid-air and sprints through the lodge, trying to deliver it to Lanius’s face. He misses but somehow lands the snowball perfectly on Mr. House’s surveillance screen.
Lily: Crashes into Lanius on her way down(and Lanius' way up, manually climbing the slopes after being banned from the lifts). This starts a fistfight. Neither of them manage to land a hit - Lanius is too armored, and Lily's too bundled under her snowsuits, but the fistfight continues anyways.
Vulpes: Ends the fistfight by skiing down and crashing into Lanius. Problem is that he still doesn’t know how to ski. Ends up skiing down a black diamond, screaming at the top of his lungs, chased by a hulking armored Lanius on a snowboard.
Arcade: Holding a fist aid kit, chasing after Lanius and Vulpes on the skidoo. Somehow, both of them outrace him.
Joshua Graham: He steps in at the bottom of the slope to “mediate” the situation. When Lanius and Vulpes arrive, Graham simply stands there, arms crossed, radiating disappointment. Lanius attempts to snowboard around him and falls over instead. Vulpes takes this as a divine victory.
Vulpes: Takes advantage of the chaos to loudly proclaim himself “victorious” over Lanius. This backfires when Lily, still thinking she's fistfighting Lanius, accidentally chucks him into a snowdrift.
Cass: Just to add insult to injury, Cass snipes Vulpes in the head with a snow boulder. Declares herself winner of the snowball fight.
Lanius: After falling over trying to dodge Graham, Lanius decides the snowboard is “inferior Legion technology” and starts sliding down slopes on a stolen shield instead. Somehow, he’s even more terrifying on the shield.
Rex: Excitedly follows Dogmeat’s lead and starts flinging snowballs at random guests with his mouth. Accidentally hits Caesar, who spills his hot chocolate and angrily declares war on Rex. This backfires as Rex starts chasing Caesar around the lodge, barking loudly.
Caesar: Orders Lanius to “go deal with Rex”.
Rex: Wins the chase vs Lanius when Lanius crashes into another snowplow.
Lanius (yet again): He fights the snowplows head-on. Wins. Then declares victory when the snowplow malfunctions and starts spinning in circles. Lanius uses the shield to sled down to Caesar, presenting the snowplow’s spinning wheel as a “trophy.” He also loses the Blade of the East in the process, but simply rips off the snowplow’s blade and decides to use that as a weapon instead. Everone else is too scared to tell him “no”.
Lily (again): Decides that if Lanius can use a shield, she can use something even better. She uproots a bench from the lodge and uses it as a sled, plowing through anyone in her way. Vulpes narrowly escapes but ends up stuck in a tree when he scrambles up its branches in a panic and can’t get down. Lily declares victory and challenges Lanius to a bench-vs-shield sled race.
Lanius (still going): Accepts Lily’s challenge, declaring that no one out-sleds the Monster of the East.
The race is a disaster. It ends when the two somehow take out a ski lift.
Joshua Graham: Tries to restore order by organizing a snowball truce. It immediately devolves into chaos when Lanius breaks the truce by launching a giant snow boulder at Lily, who retaliates by throwing a snowman.
The Courier: Gets recruited to referee the race between Lily and Lanius. Ends up outrunning both of them and dodging a flying snowman thrown by Lily.
Veronica: Tries to sneak back in by building a sled from the Lodge’s vending machine. Gets found out by the Securitrons when Dogmeat tries to gnaw on the “vending machine”. Kicked out again.
Rex: Climbs onto the wreckage of the snowplow and starts barking triumphantly, claiming it as his “territory.” Dogmeat joins him, and they start a snowball fight with Caesar and Boone, who are still sitting in the lodge. Caesar dodges a snowball but spills another hot chocolate, leading to more angry declarations of war. Caesar declares the Legion at war with Rex.
The resulting avalanche from stampeding Legionnaires buries half the lodge. Caesar blames Lanius(who was actually innocent and snowboarding). Rex wins the Legion vs Rex war.
Mr House: At his wit’s ends and having a nervous breakdown. Activates the "Resort Lockdown Protocol," closing all lifts and banning *everyone* from the lodge. The Securitrons begin plowing everyone off the slopes. Lanius destroys three before declaring them “unworthy opponents.”
Lily: still trying to one-up Lanius. Sleds on a whole table.
Lanius: Doesn't even notice the avalanche, snowboarding down a double black diamond, chased by a grandma supermutant on a table.
Arcade: Trapped under a toppled pole from Lanius’ earlier escapades, he yells for help. The Courier rides by on the skidoo, gives him a thumbs up, and keeps going because they’re trying to outrun a Securitron snowplow now.
Vulpes: Still stuck in the tree after narrowly avoiding Lily’s sled. Attempts to climb down, but is struck by a flying snowman from the Lanius-Lily race. He barely hangs onto the edge of a branch, complaining about “Northern climates”.
Cass: Knocks Vulpes off the branch with a well-aimed snowball. The snowball lodges itself in Vulpes’ fox hat, much to Vulpes’ disgrace.
Vulpes: Ends up buried in the snow at the base of the tree, loudly cursing "these decadent Northern activities."
Veronica: Insulted after being kicked out. Sneaks back in by building an entire snowplow and pretending she was here on a job.
The Courier: Steals Veronica’s snowplow and uses it to carve "Courier Was Here" into the slopes. When Mr. House spots this via surveillance, the Courier makes a run for it, skidooing over the avalanche like a ski-jumping daredevil. Dogmeat follows, howling excitedly.
Rex (still king of chaos): Teams up with Dogmeat to chase Lanius across the resort. They manage to snag his shield and use it as a sled. Lanius is furious and storms after them on foot, roaring threats about "honorless curs." The dogs dodge him at every turn.
Caesar (still sipping hot chocolate): Attempts to call a truce with the dogs, offering them steak from the lodge. This backfires when Dogmeat and Rex steal the entire tray and bolt outside. Caesar sighs and decides to "leave it to Lanius," who is now fighting a snow plow for some reason.
Lanius: Outwrestles the snowplow. Somehow wins.
Veronica: The Brotherhood of Steel declares war on Lanius for destroying Veronica’s snowplow.
Cass: Offers to sell Caesar hot chocolate at a ridiculously inflated price. Caesar actually accepts. Caesar now has hot chocolate.
Mr House: Sends a second snowplow. Lanius wrestles that one too. Vulpes somehow gets run over in the process.
Caesar: Caesar sighs. “This is why I drink.” Watches Lanius, who is fighting a tree again for some reason. (The tree lost)
Lily: Feeling left out, wrestling a third snowplow. Vulpes gets run over this time too.
Arcade: Reluctantly helps Vulpes out from under the snowplow, only to watch him trip and get run over by a third one.
Veronica: Driving the third snowplow, doesn’t even notice the bump.
Arcade: After helping Vulpes out from under one snowplow, he just…sighs in sheer disappointment. He starts bandaging Vulpes again, only for another snowplow to appear. This time, Vulpes grabs him in a panic and somehow manages to get both of them flattened under the plow.
Veronica: Cheerfully upgrades the snowplow’s speed in response. Vulpes gets run over a second time while trying to escape.
Lanius (yet again): Having defeated two snowplows, a tree and the vending machine, Lanius roars victoriously from the top of the half-buried lodge. Then the Courier zooms by and runs him over with the skiddoo, sending him crashing into a snowbank.
Cass: With the vending machine broken, Cass makes a killing selling snacks right next to its remains.
The Courier: Now chased by Lanius, they end up launching off a ramp and landing straight into the lodge’s hot tub, right beside Caesar, who raises an eyebrow but says nothing.
Lanius: He charges the hot tub. Caesar calmly sips his hot chocolate as Lanius trips on the edge and tumbles straight into the hot tub, still-armored. The colossal splash drenches half the deck.
Caesar: Caesar just lounges in the hot tub, next to a grumbling Lanius and a grinning Courier. He's watching Lanius struggle to climb out of the hot tub while still in full armor. Disappointed, but amused.
Lanius: Furious but somehow still in the hot tub. After sitting up, soaked and enraged, he roars, "I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A BATH," before trying to lunge out of the tub.
The Courier: Jokingly splashes Lanius. He slips on the wet deck and lands on his back, causing another giant splash. Rex and Dogmeat take this as an invitation to leap into the hot tub with him. Lanius is officially outnumbered by a dogpile of chaos.
Caesar: Sees Rex fighting Lanius, and immediately hides his hot chocolate. This fails when Lanius takes his mug and uses it as an improvised weapon to punt the Courier out of the hot tub.
The Courier: Sent flying out of the tub by Lanius. Recovers after rolling a perfect Luck save. Smugly takes a bow afterwards.
Yes-Man: Takes a photo of the Courier being punted.
Lanius: Finally frees himself(and armor) from the hot tub. Proceeds to step on a loose towel and slip right back into the hot tub, splashing everyone in a new wave of water.
Caesar: Gives the Courier a quest to bring him a new mug of hot chocolate.
Lanius (defeated... for now): Finally manages to get out of the hot tub once and for all. Soaked and with steam rising from his armor, he looks like a giant wet cat. He stops to glare at the others.
Lily: Belly flops into the hot tub while Lanius is glaring, knocking him back in again.
Lanius: Finally pulls himself out of the hot tub again and roars.
Caesar: Caesar looks down at his now-empty hot chocolate mug that somehow ended up in Rex’s mouth. He sighs.
Mr. House: Decides enough is enough and tries to kick out the Legion. Lanius doesn’t care. He wrestles a patio chair next. (He wins)
The Courier: Accepts Caesar’s quest to retrieve a new mug of hot chocolate. They commandeer a nearby skidoo and tear off toward the lodge’s café. The quest involves them dodging Securitons trying to file insurance claims.
Arcade: Futilely patching up Vulpes, who is still complaining about being run over. “Do you ever stop talking?” Arcade mutters. Vulpes just grumbles something about “Northern savagery.” They both get run over by the passing Securitons.
Boone: Quietly sitting at the far end of the lodge, sipping tea and reading a book. Occasionally glances up to see Lanius fistfight a snowplow in the distance.
Caesar: Decides the entire resort is now Legion territory. Shortly gives up when he sees Lanius more interested in fistfighting the snowplows. He orders Lanius to stop fucking around and stand guard over a random Legion flag he planted in the snow.
Lanius: Actually does that.
Joshua Graham: Walks in, utterly calm, and starts handing out towels. Caesar begrudgingly takes one.
The Courier (returning): Triumphantly skids back to the hot tub with Caesar’s new mug of hot chocolate, only for Dogmeat to leap into their arms and spill the drink again.
Lanius: Gets run over by the Courier on the skidoo(again) while they're delivering the hot chocolate.
Rex: Rex tries to "rescue" the Courier's hot chocolate quest by snatching a random mug from a passing waiter and sprinting back to Caesar. It’s empty. Caesar glares at Rex.
Mr. House: Sends Securitrons to confiscate the hot tub. Caesar distracts them by ordering "a mug of hot chocolate Rex, Lanius and the Courier can't steal."
Arcade: Standing outside the hot tub area, soaking wet and shivering and badly bruised. He angrily waves a first aid kid at Caesar. “You want me to patch up your "Monster of the East"? Fine! But I’m charging double for hazard pay! And don't forget the tip!"
Caesar: “You can take it out of Lanius’s pay.”
Lanius: Lanius laughs. He doesn't get paid. Proceeds to punch Arcade's attempt to try and check if he has a concussion from crashing into multiple snow plows, poles, a hot tub and a skidoo.
Arcade: Concludes that Lanius is simply diagnosed with a minor case of major brain damage and gives up.
The Courier: Having successfully retrieved Caesar’s new mug of hot chocolate, they hand it over to Caesar. Caesar takes a sip, only to discover it’s spiked with vodka.
Mr. House: Absolutely livid. Orders his Securitons:“Forget confiscating the hot tub. Take the snow!”
Securitrons: Begin sucking up the snowbank with industrial vacuums. One of them inadvertently vacuums up Lanius’s flag.
Lanius: Declares war on the Securitrons. Tackles Mr. House’s display screen to the floor.
The Courier: Sees the chaos brewing and decides to instigate further by challenging Lanius to a snowball fight. Lanius roars and scoops up half a snowbank to hurl at the Courier.
Vulpes: Limping back into the hot tub to report to Caesar "his glorious report". Walks in just to time to see Lanius' flying snow bank. Panics and dives behind Arcade at the last second.
Arcade: Gets buried with Vulpes under Lanius' snow bank.
Cass: Cheerfully offers to sell a buried Arcade medical supplies and a snow shovel at a greviously inflated price. Arcade, with absolutely no other options, accepts.
Yes-Man: In an act of goodwill, he tries to send a plow to clear the snowbank. Accidentally crashes into Vulpes, who was buried under the snow. Arcade digs himself out just to glare at Yes-Man.
Caesar: Sips his spiked hot chocolate, visibly unimpressed. Glares at the Courier.
The Courier: Loses Legion reputation.
The Courier: In retaliation, they ram their skiddoo into the hot tub(again), shattering the tub and thoroughly drenching Caesar.
Caesar: Now thoroughly soaked and holding an empty mug. “Lanius! Fix this.”
Lanius: Takes Caesar very seriously. He picks up the remains of the hot tub and hurls it into the woods. “Fixed.”
Vulpes: Finally digs himself out of the snowbank, only to be hit by Lanius’ thrown hot tub. Screams in anguish.
Arcade: Digs himself out just to see his patient(Vulpes) get smashed by a flying hot tub.
Mr. House: [logging into another monitor] "Lanius, you muscle-headed lunatic! That’s my snow! Do you know how expensive imported snow is in the Mojave?!"
Lanius: Doesn’t get paid so he doesn’t care. Also rips the monitor off and throws it into the woods.
Vulpes: Finally crawling out of the debris, only to be hit by Lanius' thrown monitor. “The Legion… does not… need snow…” Then he collapses from a concussion.
Caesar: Very unimpressed, poking Vulpes' unconscious form with a stick. "Get up! If you can complain, you can work.”
Lanius: “Accidentally” misinterprets Caesar poking Vulpes with a stick as an order to "finish off the weak."
Arcade: Frantically jumps between Vulpes and Lanius - who was moments away from crushing Vulpes entirely with a snowplow’s blade. "He has a concussion! A real one this time! Do you even know what that means?!"
Lanius: "It means he is weak."
Arcade: Screaming now. "It means he needs rest! And you need therapy!"
Caesar: Pokes Vulpes with a second stick.
Vulpes: Wakes up just long enough to scream as Lanius punts him with a snowplow’s blade.
Arcade: Using the good ole “Healer’s Feather Fall”: aka, he watches Vulpes crash down into a snowbank and then rush over to stem the bleeding.
Vulpes (semi-conscious): Weakly groans, “Glory… to the Legion…” before passing out again.
Veronica: Steals the broken monitor from the woods. Makes a third sled from it. Mr. House kicks her out again, not for inappropriate sledding, but because she “mistreated his monitors” and scratched the monitor’s paintcoat.
Mr. House: Losing patience, yelling over every monitor in the lodge. “You primitive savages! If you don’t stop, I will nuke this lodge!”
The Courier: Cheers. Receives Quest: “Steal Mr. House’s Nuke”
Arcade: [screaming over the chaos] “If anyone’s interested, Vulpes has at least five broken ribs! Maybe more-” Gets hit by the Courier’s snow spray when they zoom past on their skidoo. Gives up and considers calling Graham over to give Vulpes his Last Rites.
Mr. House: Switching all monitors to a countdown display. “I warned you! Initiating lodge self-destruct in 5... 4... 3… 2... 1...”
The Courier (from the woods): Over the radio. “Hey, House! I found your nuke! I also found Lanius's blade - thanks for the new shiny!”
Mr. House: “Courier, if you so much as-”
The Courier: The sound of distant laughter and an explosion. “Oops!”
The screen resets to “0,” followed by stunned silence. A mushroom cloud blooms in the distance, followed by the Courier laughing over the radio static.
Boone: Says nothing. Picks up his book from the wreckage, sits down and calmly turns to a page.
Mr. House: ….
Yes-man: Cheering.
Mr. House: Drops a skilift Securitron on Yes-man for cheering.
Caesar: Sits silently in the wreckage of the lodge, still dripping wet and holding his now-empty mug. He sighs heavily. "Lanius, again. Fix this."
Lanius: Looks at the smoking remains of the lodge and the distant mushroom cloud. He grunts and picks up the largest piece of debris he can find. Without hesitation, he hurls it at the horizon. “Fixed.”
The Courier: Laughing uncontrollably over the radio. “You should really invest in sturdier safes, Mr. House. Oh, by the way, Lanius’s sword makes an excellent crowbar.”
Lanius: Finally notices his missing sword. Lets out an ear-piercing roar. “COURIER! I WILL FLAY YOU ALIVE!” Starts chasing after the Courier on foot. He is actually faster on foot than the Securitrons on snowmobiles who try to stop him.
Caesar: Sips what’s left of his hot chocolate, watching Lanius barrel off into the woods. “This is why I have migraines.”
Vulpes: Weakly raises one hand, still buried under the remnants of the snowplow, hot tub, and a monitor. “Permission… to die…”
Caesar: “Denied.”
Arcade: Researching “Euthanasia and assisted dying for foxes” and “Roman funerals for deceased patients”.
Graham: Helping Arcade perform Vulpes’ Last Rites
Vulpes: Still alive, having a funeral anyways.
The Courier: Cheerfully dragging the remains of the nuke behind them on a sled, heading back to the remains of the lodge, chased by Lanius. “So...who wants fireworks?”
Mr. House (on the one remaining monitor): Flickers back on, incoherent static. “Do you realize how much that nuke cost? I will be billing all of you. I WILL HAVE YOUR INSURANCE FOR THIS-”
The Courier: Zooming back into the lodge, covered in soot but grinning ear to ear. “Don’t worry! I have good news! Your nuke’s been disarmed, Mr. House. And the bad news…” Points toward the horizon, where a second explosion blooms. “I may have accidentally armed two more backup nukes.”
Boone: Deadpan, still reading his book in the wreckage. “We’re all going to die.”
Yes-Man: Rolling into the wreckage, charred but still chipper. “Great news! I took the liberty of disabling the third backup nuke Mr. House had stashed! You’re welcome!” He starts handing out charred marshmallows on sticks to everyone.
Mr. House: Screams in fury. “You idiot! I DON’T HAVE A THIRD BACKUP NUKE! That wasn’t a backup nuke! That was the power core for the Strip’s entire electrical grid!”
Yes-Man: Pauses. “..... oh. ”
Lodge: Loses power.
Mr. House: Static reaches deafening levels before one final burst of electricity fries the last monitor. Utter silence.
Caesar: Glances around the smoldering ruin, taking another sip from his mug. It’s empty. He sighs heavily. “Lanius?”
Arcade: Standing next to Vulpes’ “grave”. “Please, please, please, don’t-”
Caesar: Ignores him. “Lanius.”
Lanius: From the woods, still chasing after the Courier. “Yes, Caesar?”
Caesar: “Fix this. And don’t come back until you’ve brought me all the Courier’s limbs. Preferably unattached.”
Lanius: A distant roar can be heard. Followed up Vulpes’ scream as Lanius runs right on top of his grave. The Courier, laughing, can be seen roasting marshmellows over the engine of their skidoo, racing around while chased by Lanius. They run over Vulpes’ grave a second time in the process.
The Courier: Still cackling over the radio. “See you in Vegas, suckers!”
Moments later, a distant explosion echoes through the woods, as a third mushroom cloud appears over Vegas.
The Courier loses karma.
Epilogue:
Everyone in the Mojave collectively agree to never ever go on a winter vacation ever again.
Lanius gets a snowplow blade as a trophy. Vulpes gets a concussion. Arcade gets 10% of the Legion’s treasury in hazard pay (and spends most of it on therapy). The Courier earns money from all sides (and somehow finds another nuke). Boone drinks more. Caesar joins him in drinking. Joshua writes a book banning snow. Yes-Man roasts marshmallows over the remains of the power grid. Veronica finally manages to sneak back in and sled as much as she wants. Lily gleefully proclaims herself the best fighter in winter(much to Lanius’ disgrace). Cass can be found in the souvenir shop. Rex and Dogmeat get to eat all the meatballs that remain in the lodge.
And finally, Mr. House has a breakdown paying for the repairs. He’s seriously considering moving his entire operation to the Eastern Wasteland for "a fresh start."
