TheBlueKidd Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Not sure if anyone even cares enough to read this, but I can't sleep and I'm going to keep a journalish sort of thing for the character I'm playing, Barron Lake. If you want to read his backstory here it is: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/306644-tell-us-about-your-character/page-11 Anyway, here goes nothing. Dear Mom and Dad, I know I haven't written you guys for a while, and I'm sorry for that. This courier work is so demanding. I never really have time to sit back and relax much. I guess I like it that way, always moving around, but now I just don't know about this work anymore. Scout...he's dead. We were ambushed by some big shot in a goofy suit and some thugs who wanted the package I was carrying to New Vegas and..he didn't make it. I still can't believe it. He was my best friend and I couldn't protect him. I know I shouldn't be blaming myself, but I just can't stop thinking about it. Scout never hurt anyone, he didn't deserve it. You always told me the desert was unforgiving, I just never thought it would happen to me. I thought the good times would never end. I was dead wrong. Why did he have to try and protect me? I should have listened to you guys and left him home with you guys. Maybe I shouldn't have left home in the first place. I was so stupid and naive back then. I'm in a town called Goodsprings, this odd looking robot dug me up and a doctor patched me up. He must be some kind of miracle worker because that man shot me square in the face, point blank. Dumb luck I guess. They even gave me some supplies to get me back on my feet. I've decided to put this courier gig on hold and go after him. I know what you're thinking. I'm acting like some angry idiot, I'm going to get myself killed, and I should quit while I'm ahead. Well the truth is, I am angry and I might not come back, but I've got to find this guy. When I find him I'll...well I don't know what I'll do, but I have to find him. Before that I've got to help these people here in Goodsprings. Seems they're having trouble with a local gang. I know I shouldn't get involved with their personal matters, but I can't leave them after all they've done for me. You and I know I've never killed before so God forgive me for what I'm about to do. God forgive me for going on this quest in the first place. I just buried Scout. I decorated his grave all nice-like. I even put his name on it. I'm so sorry, but I can't go back now. There's no turning back now. Take care. Love, Barry P.S. I'll try to write to you guys more, but I might not write frequently. This bullet has made things a little hard to remember recently. I can remember most things but the little things are a little fuzzy right now. It should pass sooner or later.
