For the Wasteland that was once the United States, it is often a difficult task just trying to survive a battle for survival every day for all the wastelanders who call the charred remains of the United States their home. The day that Fluffy’s entered a world that they had no knowledge of many of them often were killed by the harsh new nature of the Wasteland however if it was not nature that would often kill him it would be all that was left of mankind but at times when it comes to mankind some do not act with hostility others act with the idea of providing a new means of resources for every Survivor across what was once the United States. For a majority of these Biotoys, some were achieving what they were made to do, giving company and having mamas or daddies
Our Story opens with a man in leather armor pulling a two-headed Brahmin, by his side a pink fluffy with a white main wearing goggle and special baggies, on her back are an assortment of little Foals who were only a day old they being covered by a special little Umbrella protecting them from the harsh sun
The man is drinking a bottle of Nuka Cola just enjoying the vast nothingness of the Californian desert and although it’s a tough job being a trader and all, it’s not without its own merriments and besides he’s not alone he’s got his loyal old Brahmin Betty and of course his little fluffy companion Lucy.
For many across the Wasteland especially farmers, fluffies are seen as an annoying pest worse than that of rad roaches and the occasional bloat fly not even fit to waste a bullet on, however it’s mostly those that steal food aka the ferals but once in a blue moon a traveler will often find a fluffy that doesn’t demand food or you giving them a warm home all they want is simply a companion to ease those troubled Wasteland nights.
In the case of Lucy here he found the little furball when her mother and her siblings ended up as bug Chow for a group of cazadors getting rid of the vile monsters wasn’t an easy task and it was by sheer luck that the man found Lucy at all if it hadn’t been for a weak crying she would have been forgotten and ended up starving without her mother
The man is brought out of his musings when the lisp talk of his fluffy companion makes her voice known.
“Daddhe when we get to shwady wand soon?”
The man looks down on his little friend and smiles almost envying that innocent little mind of hers.
“Soon Lucy we’re almost there we’re just about 2 hours away from making it to Shady Sands and I bet you’re asking this because your little hooves are starting to get sore from all this walking if you want I can put you on top of Betty and she can give you a ride?”
The little fluffy shakes her head on the offer of her daddhe.
Nu, it am otay Daddhe wucy jus wan know for wittle chripy babbhes"
The Foals in question were newborns with two being males and the three being females, the males were pegasi, with two females being earth types, but it was the last female that was an alicorn, a very rare fluffy that would have earned anyone top dollar in the old world, but now in the wasteland it was just another fluffy.
When Lucy first saw that little baby she was scared for her life, but her Daddy was firm yet gentle with her as he explained that sometimes in the Wasteland certain people are born with extra stuff but that extra stuff doesn’t mean they’re monsters they’re just born different.
“Just remember Lucy your babies are fine as long as you wear that special umbrella for them because it is a hot one out here today but it’s going to be worth it after all what is the one thing that I always say”
“Workies means we get shinnies and data means we get nummies wite daddhe?”
The man smiles and pets his little companion, it took a while for her to understand the importance of work when she was a baby but now as a full-grown fluffy she now understands the importance of Scavenging and of course, working for your pay.
“That’s right you little puffball it’s hard work but it means that you and I get to have food and water and not only that your little babies will have toys and milkies (turns his head) oh would you look at that there’s Shady Sands just across from us”
The fluffy mama looks and sees the very pretty-looking human land and unlike some of the human lands that were either scary-looking or no look or smelled pretty.
Shandy wand looked really big but safe for you, your babies, and your daddy as you and daddy head for the open place your stop by two humans with long sorry sticks wearing funny hats and clothes with a two think place yow gyu munster on it.
“Please State your business sir and provide any documentation that you may have”
The man grabs his backpack from the Brahmin and begins searching through it for the necessary documentation and although it takes a while he’s able to provide the necessary documentation to enter the NCR territory.
"(looks at the papers and hands them back) Here you go sir everything looks all sorted out.
The NCR soldier looks down and notices Lucy and begins to frown.
“That thing and her pest are with you?”
The man frowns at the comment of the soldier and he understands that a lot of people don’t really like fluffies they don’t have to be assholes when it comes to people who own them they’re just pets like any other Wasteland Critter out there.
“Yes she’s with me sir and not only that she’s my assistant so please if you would so kindly let us in so that we may do business then we can be about on our merry way”
The soldier stepped aside and allowed the trader and his pets to enter without any delay they were told to enter near the plaza area and begin to sell their wares there any profits they make though is taken by 5% by the NCR government although not an exactly a fair deal it’s an understandable one has a lot of Traders often accepted if it means they can have a safe place to do their business.
“Fresh milk we have fresh milk here 100% fresh radiation-free, all we’re asking for is a total of five caps a bottle fir each”
For our trader friend here, he often sells both hunted food and of course, milk but his milk was special it was a special blend of Bhramin and fluffy mare milk when it comes to both of the two they have certain nutrients that the other Lacks for starters fluffy-mare milk has certain vitamins that are good in preventing certain sicknesses from entering the human body Brahmin milk is a source of protein when combined they’re able to make up the lack of necessary key ingredients that the other Lacks.
“mama wuv babies, babies wuv mama dwink wots of milkies gow up big and stwong”
Lucy was in her own little world singing to her babies as they just lay in her fluff all nice and relaxed without the fear of bad humans with their sorry sticks trying to hurt her and her daddy to the big green monsters who yelled at them saying that they were going to be their Nummies for shady land was a very nice place that she and her daddy could do all their hard work and get the Nummies being needed for themselves and now for her babies.
“All right Lucy time to eat, going to give you an extra batch of mute fruit so that way not only will your babies have enough milk but we’re able to make our quota margin and pay for all the necessary stuff that we need for our stay here in Shady Sands”
“Otay daddeh”
The traitor gives a big bowl of mute fruit especially mutated fruit that was born after the bombs fell for many in the Wasteland it’s a source of food that a lot of farmers often eat but for some odd reason when a fluffy mare eats mute fruit it induces a form of lactation even for Mayors who never even had babies to begin with it’s unknown why it does this but for the trader this fruit is able to provide fluffy mere milk which is something he needs for his Brahmin milk and it is lucys favorite food.
5 hours later
“Thank you come again, all right Lucy we made a total of 500 caps you know what that means right?”
“We am hav sketii soup?”
“that’s right girl”
When it comes to Fluffy’s and the term sketties it was often associated with many fluffies who ate spaghetti before the bombs dropped now their descendants often associated with favorite foods but from a majority of fluffies who are owned by fellow wastelanders they often have the chance to eating not exactly the food itself but a similar substitute for it for in the case of Lucy she was having Ramen with her daddy.
“Yay, babies, mama gonna have sketties it am bestest bright times eber and den make sketties milikes for babbhies”
The world wasn’t exactly what Lucy pictured it sometimes because sometimes her thinking place would show her places where there were tons and lots of humans but some of those places that she and her daddy now visit are scary there aren’t any humans there but she wasn’t concerned with that right now she was just glad to be a helpful Little Critter for her daddy and be a good Mama for her babies and sometimes daddy says that’s just enough.
