Step right up, my friend! I've got a special opportunity for you, approved by Management themselves. How would you like to go on a little vacation?
|
|
| 2
|
006C1CEB
|
Care to learn more? I haven't got brochures, but there's just no way the big AC could fit on such a little piece of paper.
|
|
| 3
|
006C1CEC
|
I would be delighted to answer any questions you have.
|
|
| 4
|
006C1CED
|
Do I have a curious tourist on my hands? That's my second favorite kind of tourist, just behind a satisfied one.
|
|
| 5
|
006C1CEF
|
Hello! I hear you've been making waves in Atlantic City. And with any wave, you never know what treasures may wash ashore.
|
|
| 6
|
006C1CF0
|
I trust America's Playground has delighted you as much as it delights me.
|
|
| 7
|
006C1CF1
|
You're back, and looking healthier than ever! How about that.
|
Surprised the player is unharmed, but hiding it with a diplomatic smile
|
| 8
|
006C1C69
|
006C1CDD
|
Lights, games, an ocean breeze. America's Playground awaits.
|
|
| 9
|
006C1CDE
|
Could I interest you in a vacation?
|
|
| 10
|
006C1CDF
|
Could I interest you in a visit to the best city in America?
|
|
| 11
|
006C1CE0
|
You look like someone who needs a vacation. Am I right, or am I right?
|
|
| 12
|
006C1CE1
|
Allow me to tell you about your next vacation destination!
|
|
| 13
|
006C1CE2
|
Atlantic City! Ain't no place like it across the entire coast.
|
|
| 14
|
006C1CE3
|
There's no place like Atlantic City. I would know! I've seen it all.
|
He's seen parts of AC that he doesn't like, but is hiding it behind a diplomatic smile
|
| 15
|
006C1CE4
|
Atlantic City welcomes all visitors! The rich, the poor, the sane, the insane, the ghoulified and mutated... There's something for everyone!
|
Slightly uncomfortable with the things he's talking about, but hiding it behind a diplomatic smile
|
| 16
|
006C1CE5
|
Comfort, entertainment, adventure - Atlantic City has it all! Sometimes even more than you bargained for.
|
"More than you bargained for" is NOT a good thing, but Jeremiah is hiding it behind a diplomatic smile
|
| 17
|
006C1C6A
|
006C1CD2
|
Don't think about it. Just keep doing your job.
|
Muttering quietly to himself. Still with a positive, if hesitant tone
|
| 18
|
006C1CD3
|
As long as I stay inside this lovely Refuge, I'm all good.
|
Muttering quietly to himself. Still with a positive, if hesitant tone
|
| 19
|
006C1CD4
|
Think happy thoughts! That's the way.
|
|
| 20
|
006C1CD5
|
Ain't nothing bad gonna happen inside this Refuge.
|
Comforting himself
|
| 21
|
006C1CD6
|
Now isn't this a nice vacation, Jeremiah?
|
|
| 22
|
006C1CD7
|
These Responders must really have a game plan, the way they're always flitting about. Now that's something to admire.
|
This should be alarming, but Jeremiah is taking a positive interpretation
|
| 23
|
006C1CD8
|
Should I practice my pitch? Nah, who am I kidding? I've been doing this all decade.
|
|
| 24
|
006C1CD9
|
You're gonna wow 'em. That's your gift, Jeremiah, and it just wouldn't be right to waste it.
|
|
| 25
|
006C1C6B
|
006C1CE6
|
We are offering free travel to America's Playground: Atlantic City, New Jersey!
|
|
| 26
|
A haven of wonder, excitement, and opportunity. Fully governed and, I assure you, safe from the dangers of the world outside.
|
It appears to be safe on the surface, but Jeremiah knows what threats lurk underneath...
|
| 27
|
In exchange for your all-expenses-paid vertibird flight, all we ask is a little assistance paid back to the locals.
|
|
| 28
|
006C1CE7
|
It varies from person to person. I don't have all the details, but I know the Lombardi family is looking for assistance with some business matters.
|
|
| 29
|
If game shows are more your style, the Showmen are always looking for fresh faces to star in their entertainment.
|
|
| 30
|
I'm sure a bright person like you will find just the opportunity you're looking for.
|
|
| 31
|
006C1CE8
|
That's right! As long as the city leadership hears you're helping out, that's all they ask of you.
|
|
| 32
|
They were mighty jazzed to hear word of an organization from abroad that's all about helping people.
|
|
| 33
|
We can always use fresh faces in AC, and especially ones with initiative. That's what keeps our city alive!
|
|
| 34
|
006C1C6D
|
006C1CB2
|
That's the spirit!
|
|
| 35
|
006C1C6F
|
006C1CC6
|
We're talking about the greatest city on the east coast.
|
|
| 36
|
006C1C71
|
006C1CB6
|
Then you'll be happy to hear that part of this vacation involves helping out the local residents.
|
|
| 37
|
006C1C73
|
006C1CBA
|
Sounds like a deal, right?
|
|
| 38
|
006C1C75
|
006C1CCD
|
Hey, now that's what I'm talking about!
|
|
| 39
|
I'll let Orlando know you've agreed to help out. I'm sure they'll get word back to the city leaders.
|
|
| 40
|
And hey, you come right back and talk to me if you have any questions, alright? I'm your one-stop guide to the city.
|
|
| 41
|
006C1C7D
|
006C1CF3
|
Well, by all means, ask away!
|
|
| 42
|
006C1C7F
|
006C1CC4
|
Jeremiah Hopkins, mighty pleased to make your acquaintance. I am at your service to tell you anything you'd like to know about Atlantic City.
|
|
| 43
|
006C1C81
|
006C1CB4
|
Glad to help out. You let me know if you have any more questions.
|
|
| 44
|
006C1C87
|
006C1CCB
|
Of course!
|
|
| 45
|
006C1C89
|
006C1CBB
|
Do you remember relaxing beach getaways? Exciting nights out on the town?
|
|
| 46
|
Amenities and entertainment to fill your safe and mundane life with inspiration and excitement?
|
|
| 47
|
Even if you're not old enough to remember those blissful before-days, Atlantic City is your chance to experience them for the first time.
|
|
| 48
|
Our city is safe, luxurious, and beautiful. But don't believe me - see it for yourself!
|
|
| 49
|
006C1C8B
|
006C1CCE
|
First off, you can take a relaxing stroll along the Boardwalk to enjoy street vendors and a delightful sea breeze.
|
|
| 50
|
Larger attractions take place at Showman's Pier on the far end of the Boardwalk.
|
|
| 51
|
Underneath the Pier, lose yourself in the architectural wonder of an aquarium built beneath the sea.
|
|
| 52
|
When night falls, Casino Quarter has everything you need to make it an evening to remember: nightclubs and casinos galore.
|
|
| 53
|
Further inward, all the magic you don't see happens at the city center. That's where the Mayor's Office keeps the city running.
|
|
| 54
|
006C1C8D
|
006C1CBE
|
Outside of civilians and visitors such as yourself, there are three groups that keep on the lights and life of Atlantic City.
|
|
| 55
|
The Showmen are our entertainers, hosting performances and games of all kinds, primarily from the Boardwalk and Pier.
|
|
| 56
|
The Lombardi family manages the nightlife in Casino Quarter.
|
|
| 57
|
They're an intimate bunch, but don't be intimidated. They're as much a part of Atlantic City's charm as anyone else.
|
|
| 58
|
Last but definitely not least, our city government workers manage the day-to-day operations that make life easy for the rest of us.
|
|
| 59
|
006C1C8F
|
006C1CDA
|
Threats? Oh, no, you're unlikely to encounter any of those.
|
Surprised and nervous, but still attempting to be diplomatic
|
| 60
|
Not unless the gorgeous wildlife of the Pine Barrens bordering our city becomes unruly, but the Mayor's Office has that completely under control.
|
Acting friendly and optimistic, but the truth is they do NOT have it under control, which is why this is on his mind
|
| 61
|
006C1C91
|
006C1CBF
|
Aw, and we were just getting to the good part!
|
Friendly. He wants to talk about AC more
|
| 62
|
006C1C93
|
006C1CF2
|
*awkward laugh* Well now, of course reality is always more complicated! But just like any place, it depends on where you stick your head.
|
|
| 63
|
Stick it too deep, and well... You're not likely to appreciate what you find. I much prefer the delightful breeze comfortably above the water.
|
He knows firsthand
|
| 64
|
006C1C95
|
006C1CC3
|
That it is, my friend, that it is.
|
|
| 65
|
006C1C97
|
006C1CB3
|
Nothing's impossible, my friend!
|
|
| 66
|
006C1C98
|
006C1CC7
|
After the war, the city government worked hard to keep things running how they should. No need to let a bomb ruin a great day!
|
|
| 67
|
006C1C9A
|
006C1CB7
|
Well, if that's the case, then... The mutated flora... We call them the Overgrown.
|
Uncomfortable talking about this
|
| 68
|
For the most part, folks don't know they're a problem because the municipal workers have been fighting them back.
|
Uncomfortable talking about this
|
| 69
|
But that's not all. There's something more sinister out there.
|
Genuinely terrified
|
| 70
|
I'd prefer not to talk about this anymore. Every city's got problems, right? And outside of this little pest problem, there's so much to love in AC!
|
Putting the joyful and diplomatic mask back on
|
| 71
|
006C1C9C
|
006C1CC2
|
No, no, of course not! Of course, every city's got city going-ons, if that's what you're talking about. You know, street drama.
|
|
| 72
|
Big shots talking about who disappeared who, and who stole who's exclusive designer drugs, and who's all screwed up until they get another dose...
|
Rambling on more than he should
|
| 73
|
I'm kidding, of course! That's all radio drama. Good ol' fashioned entertainment, ain't that right?
|
Trying to save it and pretend he was joking
|
| 74
|
006C1C9E
|
006C1CB1
|
It's the safest place in the Wasteland. You have my guarantee.
|
|
| 75
|
006C1CA0
|
006C1CC5
|
How insightful you are! Yes, my travel was arranged by the Atlantic City Mayor's Office.
|
|
| 76
|
There's no tourism board per se, but the groups managing the nightlife and entertainment of the city are always interested in bringing in new faces.
|
|
| 77
|
They worked out an arrangement with the city, who decided my skills were best put to work out here, in a fresh and safe new environment!
|
|
| 78
|
006C1CA2
|
006C1CB5
|
Now if I were to stop being optimistic, I would have to think about all the stressful things that I may or may not be choosing not to think about.
|
Joyful tone
|
| 79
|
Better to focus on the good and keep smiling, ain't that right?
|
Joyful tone
|
| 80
|
006C1CA4
|
006C1CC9
|
Beautiful place! Just a gorgeous view, from up there on the rooftop. Never seen anything like it.
|
|
| 81
|
006C1CA6
|
006C1CB9
|
Certainly!
|
|
| 82
|
006C1CA8
|
006C1CCC
|
Well, I, uh... I saw something that was... against nature. Evidence of the unholy.
|
Deeply uncomfortable
|
| 83
|
Look, I can accept mutated wildlife. All those nukes weren't gonna fall without consequence.
|
|
| 84
|
But this thing... It was too close to my nightmares. I can't handle the possibility of Hell on Earth. And in my fair city, of all places. I just...
|
Deeply uncomfortable
|
| 85
|
Let's not talk about this anymore. I came here to clear my mind of all that nonsense, get a fresh start.
|
Deeply uncomfortable
|
| 86
|
006C1CAA
|
006C1CBC
|
Well, the Responders are all about helping others, ain't that right? Just like the Mayor's Office back home. Only problem is...
|
|
| 87
|
*awkward laugh* Well, there's a lot of helping to do. Sometimes too much for a gentle heart like mine to handle.
|
He doesn't want to talk about this
|
| 88
|
006C1CAC
|
006C1CDB
|
I truly appreciate that. I couldn't imagine a better post than serving our surprising and... delightful city!
|
Surprising in good ways and bad
|
| 89
|
006C1CAE
|
006C1CCF
|
Outside? Now why would there be any need for that when I'm enjoying my snug and secure accommodations right here?
|
Surprised to be asked. Emphasis on secure - he's terrified to go outside
|
| 90
|
No siree, I am fully satisfied staying inside, where there are no surprises.
|
|
| 91
|
006C1CB0
|
006C1CC1
|
Heh, are you trying to scare me now?
|
Uncomfortable, but trying to be friendly
|
| 92
|
I've heard, I've heard. You get breathed on by a bat and suddenly big green crystals are growing out of your skin, right? *nervous laugh*
|
Trying to make light of something that terrifies him
|
| 93
|
I am perfectly good never seeing one of those, thank you very much.
|
Uncomfortable, but trying to be friendly
|
| 94
|
006F88D6
|
006F88E1
|
If you're interested in some new sights, how about Atlantic City?
|
|
| 95
|
006F88D7
|
006F88DD
|
Well yes, I understand that Initiate Ellison over there is a member of such a Brotherhood. And he's an upstanding young man.
|
|
| 96
|
He asked me if I would go outside if I had a suit of power armor to protect me. The answer is: absolutely not.
|
|
| 97
|
What if the armor malfunctioned and crushed me alive? Or ran out of juice just as something scary approached?
|
|
| 98
|
I bet if someone saw me in the armor, they'd think I was a monster! I'd rather make friends than scare people.
|
|
| 99
|
006F88D8
|
006F88E2
|
A wendigo? You mean the mythical flesh-eating kind, but... bigger? That... *nervous laugh* I'm sure that's not possible.
|
Optimistically disbelieving
|
| 100
|
You're just coming up with stories to scare me. I'm used to that. Can't let good old fiction haunt my dreams, after all.
|
|
| 101
|
Now, why don't we talk about something else?
|
Slightly stern, but still friendly. He doesn't apprciate the player trying to scare him.
|
| 102
|
006F88D9
|
006F88DE
|
That is true, isn't it? Everyone's got their own special style in this crazy world of ours.

"A day without laughter is a day wasted!"
|
Quote from Charlie Chaplin
|
| 104
|
Now, I'm not much of a comedian, but I sure do love to smile.
|
|
| 105
|
006F88DB
|
006F88DF
|
Yeah... I know.
|
Uncharacteristically serious. If there's a moment to see Jeremiah's thoughtful and intelligent side (when he usually seems quite ditzy), this is it.
|
| 106
|
My father used to say that too. He was a courageous man. Did a lot for people. Then went out just the way he wanted to: in a blaze of glory.
|
|
| 107
|
I know there are dangerous things out there. And other people may be well-equipped to handle them, but... I'm not.
|
|
| 108
|
My energy is best spent making people smile. Helping them not to worry. If that means putting my blinders on a little, so be it.
|
|
| 109
|
Let me enjoy the little pocket of this world that I still have left to me. That's still... safe.
|
|
| 110
|
And let the bold ones venture out and take on the world. That's what they're born to do. I don't want any part of it.
|

|
Our city is run by the tough and virtuous Mayor Tim. Once a humble farmer, now a city leader.
|
|
| 112
|
Around Casino Quarter you'll hear the name Quentino Lombardi, who's known to be a bit hot-headed. He's been the head of the Family for a long time.
|
A long time = kind of suspicious. Shouldn't he be dead by now?
|
| 113
|
And finally, there's Mother Charlotte, the creative and daring founder of the Showmen.
|
Creative and daring = scary and insane. Jeremiah may struggle here to have a positive tone, giving away a bit of his fear
|
| 114
|
These three work together to provide the city with everything it needs to thrive: lights, entertainment, and a functioning economy.
|
|
