MacCready: “Can’t you just… Tone it down a notch or two?”
Jasmine: (Throws up her hands) “It’s Halloween!!! It’s suppose to freak you out!!! That’s the point!!!”
Piper: “After all the spooky scares we pulled on each other during the prank war- we all are a bit tender!!! So give us a break! Now we have to worry about some vengeance filled Mexican lady coming after us!”
Jasmine: (Rolls her eyes) “¡Cobardes! Y’all are a bunch of sissies! I’ve been hearing this story since I was born and so had most of the kids my age in my neighborhood.”
MacCready: “And I’m pretty sure you kids were living off a gallon of coffee and three hours of sleep all the time!”
Deacon: (Comes out from behind a bush dressed in a white nightgown and a long dark wig) “OoOoOoOoOoOo!!!” (Slowly moves towards the campfire, the smoke machine he set up earlier adding extra dramatic flare)
Jasmine: (Points and gasps) “¡La Llorona!”
MacCready, Danse, and Piper: (Scream bloody murder in sync)

Nick: (Comes running over) “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?”
Everyone: (Dives behind RoboDad for protection)
Jasmine: (Runs up and puts her arms around his waist, staring up at him innocently) “Papi- La Llorona wants to take me away and drown me! So you hafta protect me!”
Nick: (Heavy sigh as he picks the teen girl up) “Not the vengeance ghost lady again- haven’t you told enough of those scary stories?”
Jasmine: (Huffs) “No- I haven’t told everyone about El Cucuy yet.”
Nick: (Glances behind him at the trembling adults) “Maybe hold off the scary stories until after Christmas…”
Deacon: (Waves his hands around some more) “OoOoOoOoOo!”
#So the version of La Llorona I heard growing up was that she wouldn’t take adults. Just children.#Specifically children that weren’t listening to their parents and being wild at night.#Especially by the riverside or the lakeside. So as long as we hid behind an adult- we would be safe.#One of my older cousins would tell us this story at night while we were sitting around the fireplace at a river or lake.#And he would hide his speaker in the woods to play her cries to scare us.#But jokes on him because us kids just got ready to go to war with La Llorona. We were ready to square up to the ghost lady.#At night we would look out the windows of whoever house we were at and try to spot her in the distance.#So our Google searches were consisted of “How to summon La Llorona”.#If her cries sounded like they were close- La Llorona was far away. If her cries sounded far away- La Llorona was actually very close.#Anyways- Jasmine likes to tell these stories around campfires. She has the best ghost stories.#Some maaaaay or may not be true.#I mean- ghosts are REAL in Fallout.#The poor companions have to deal with their little sister being a menace all the time with her ghost stories and antics#Deacon tried to do La Llorona’s cry- but his pronunciation wasn’t that good so he just did typical ghost noises.#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#nick valentine#fallout oc#fallout original character#fallout 4 companions#maccready#robert joseph maccready#piper wright#x6 88#fallout x6 88#paladin danse#danse#danse fallout 4
