Tales from the sun chaser.

I was in a game playing the role of either a bank robber of cop. It had fallout rules to it. Meaning I needed to set up my points in the pip boy.

I'm outside of my house and I notice that my yard has extra ditches, but I don't RC...I kept walking and these random cats started walking beside me and in front of me. They reminded me of the strays that come around every so often....and the. All of a sudden they're human. One of them is holding a baby while balancing on one foot. She asks me to keep her steady and leans into me (I think deliberately on purpose) several times. I even made note of how I didn't feel any arm strain, but still, no RC. I took the baby from her after that and sat down with her a bit and made silly noises and faces at her for a while. Eventually I became sad, because I'd rather play with my own daughter. J came up and she eventually took her away from me. I guess she could see the hurt in my eyes.

I'm in a random bar, so I'm a little unsure about my surrounds and what not..and I call myself putting an 8 ball back on the table, and it rolls off onto another table where people are playing poker at. I apologize, and head elsewhere. Someone shows me something on their phone for a second, but I forget what it was. I remember bending over to to get something, and then I felt something in my back pocket. I turned around and there was a guy going for my damn phone!

I started chasing after the guy as he bolted outside, sliding over hoods of random peoples cars. I yelled at a guy to help me, and we both were chasing him but we couldn't catch up. I thought about getting in my car and running him down/over as I saw him in the distance throwing my phone up into the air and catching it.

"I bet you wont come and get it where I'm at now", he taunted. I went over towards the run down section of buildings with overgrowth and trees, and noticed several black wolves. I decided it was best to just take my car. I got in, and drove over there, and the guy was no where to be found. I said to myself "fuck it", and got out. The two biggest approached me, snarling and showing teeth. I quickly looked in my car for any scraps of food, but I didn't find any. I grabbed a twig off the ground and put it up to the dogs mouth. It ate it and relaxed. WTF, okay whatever. I got a bigger stick and tossed it and it retrieved it for me. Looks like I'm no going to get mauled by dogs after all. I played with them for a while longer, and named the biggest one "mad dog" and the other one "killer".

There was a old lady with a shot gun that was hanging outside of a trailer who was ready to kill. I told her I was looking for a guy who stole my phone. She said if I could escort her kid to a different bus station then she'd tell me. You see, this place was getting evacuated for some reason, but the numbers were limited or something. So, I really didn't have a choice.

We came up to this patchwork of barbed wire, wood and other crap put together like a maze or something. It looked like we were heading through something out of fallout. I told Mad Dog to take the lead, because I had a bad feeling. We continued on down this narrow pathway when all of a sudden we were surrounded by dogs. All breeds, all looking blood thirsty. Some kind of way they had us separated. I mean it had to be like 50 dogs in this narrow ass pathway seperating me, the girl, mad dog and killer. I tried to move and stay calm. They just growled.....noting was happening, so I continued. One of them bit the crap out of me and I yelled "attack!". All of a sudden, we're in this gladiator styled arena, and the dogs are humans. It's complete carnage at this point, and I'm running to find a weapon. I see a chain on a pole and I leap up and grab it, wrap it around someones throat and break their neck before I even hit the ground. A few no-hands cartwheels later I'm in full "come at me bro!" mode. I was just owning DC's with that damn chain...and soon as I thought about mad dog, he shows up unscathed. The battle was brutal and we basked its glory. We never did make to that bus station. Oh well.

Much of this dream is forgotten, but I do remember fighting super mutants. These muscle bound freaks were everywhere, and they had regular coloured flesh. No guns, just fisticuffs. I'd own them, and they'd own me, but I knew I couldn't really die.

I was either in a submarine, or in the lower decks of a ship. The floors were wooden, but the walls were made of metal. I went down the hallway, and opened the door, and there was this guy...who was a ghost. I'm not sure if i was supposed to meet up with this guy, but someone else showed up, and asked me questions. Every time he did, a falloutesque list of answers came up, except it was like 15 different things I could say. I remember one of the answers involved the NCR, and that's when I started wondering if it was a dream or not, but it ended.

I had reoccurring frags of the Fallout Vegas ending. But I was actually in it. Every time, there would be minor tweaks to what happens at the end. The one I remember the most vividly involved Boone and I.

Spoiler for cause this crap goes down almost like the last battle.:

We just killed a lot of the legion, and the NCR was all that remained. I went the Yes Man route, so I was going to kill the General of the NCR. He said his little speech, and I immediately sent all my robots at him. I wasn't expecting Boone to turn around and try to attack, but he did, and went down in a rain of laser fire. I obviously ducked around the corner and avoided it all.

Instead of dreaming of playing the game, I'm actually in a post apocalyptic America. Everything is in ruins, the trees are gone, the grass is gone, and I'm in a twisted version of my own neighborhood.

I checked my pipboy to see if there were any jobs available, and there were two. I headed towards the closest one, and came up to a huge C130. Limitless greeted me, and told me that she was going to teach me how to fly the old bird. We started out with all the basic boring stuff...safety precautions and that sort of thing. Then she started telling me the operations of the doors, both manual and automatic. I was about to head out and see what the other mission was about, because it was kinda boring, but I woke up.

I spent the whole night running Fallout 3 scenarios through my head to see what would have given a different ending.
