its More Canus Drivel
The Van Graff trader falls to the ground, clutching at his ribcage, blood seeping from between his fingers as he gasps for breath.
“Aw shit,” Canus grits his teeth. Stares at the muzzle of his pistol and clicks his tongue. “Really thought I had the safety on…”
“You s-son of a bitch,” wheezes the Van Graff. He pushes himself up on an arm, the concrete beneath him is already red. Hit something vital, probably. No fuckin’ way he’s dragging him to a doctor in time. “Do you know who you’re messing with.”
“Look I didn’t want to shoot you—”
“P-pointed a gun at me!”
“I just wanted to ask you a question,” Canus readjusts his aim, presses the silencer against the trader’s temple. “Guess I will anyway, since I’m here.”
“Go to hell,” the man glares at him, eyes cold and blue, set against yellowed whites. Canus raises his eyes and looks over the man’s head, towards the pack brahmin standing disinterestedly aside, watching as its master slowly bleeds out.
Thing’s probably smarter than this trader. What kind of idiot goes for his gun when there’s already one pointed in his face?
“Hm,” Canus trips on that thought, “Yeah, what— No, wait. I wanted to ask if you know anything about that weapons deal the Van Graffs are brokering with the Legion.” He shoves the silencer harder against the man’s temple, and the man simply sinks to the ground, his breathing diminished to a soft pant.
“Hey!” Canus shoves the man with his boot, rolls him onto his back. But the light’s gone from his eyes. Fucking fantastic. He puts a bullet through the middle of the corpse’s brow, then steps over him, towards the brahmin.
“Hey,” he says to the creature. It stares at him, snorts. “To be fair, that guy was a fucking creep.” He pats the brahmin on the nose, then helps himself to one of the saddlebags hanging over its back. “Least I don’t have to follow him around anymore. You know I never once saw him leave a tip for the good Garret twins…”
The first saddlebag is full of electron charge packs, and Canus huffs, flips it shut again before moving onto the next. Microfusion cells. He pockets those.
There are two cloth rolls full of rifles, and a long metal case of parts. He tugs at the ropes and buckles, calculates the worth of all of it. “Shame to let pretty guns go to waste...”
He peers down the road, the sun is already peaking along the edge of the horizon. Eerie and teal. Turning the ruins a dark shade of violet. He’s all the way in North Vegas. Gun Runners and Crimson Caravan are a long way to drag this shit behind him.
The brahmin snorts again, and Canus pats the side of its neck, eyes falling to the rope dangling from the harness around its snout. “New plan,” he snaps up the rope, loops it around his fist. “You and me are gonna go for a walk across town. Or, around town.”
He takes a step and pulls on the rope, pleased at the sound of the creature’s hooves clopping along the concrete. Echoing along the stretch of road. Clip clop. Like drumming along the surface of water.

Last line tag meme - tagged by @deacons-wig (thank you so much!!)
Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or the last wip you drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).
Nox clicks her tongue. “You seem to be having your share of that down at the Atomic Wrangler. Surely the Silver Rush does not pay so generously as to afford you a Strip visit next.”
From my Fallout: New Vegas fic, which I've been going over again recently! Here she is having a little hangout with her sketchy Legion bestie/informant, Canus, as one does. Feel like half the collective has already tagged each other here but uhh in case any of y'all like these and haven't done it yet, tagging: @mademoisellegush @egopoiesis @namira @thespiral @vaultsexteen @lesbenny @corsairesix @khanartist
#its dialogue so im counting this all as one 'line' for the sake of comprehensibility hope that's okay#courier nox#oc:canus#tag meme#myfic

For Canus and Cat :]
do they periodically give the player items? what kind of items?
would they be able to do specialised task? (eg. repairs, hacking)
Canus:
Do they periodically give the player items? what kind of items?
Canus only knows how to show appreciation through gifts so if the player has high enough affinity with him, he will give ammunition and various junk trinkets - batteries, lockpicks, etc.
Would they be able to do specialised task? (eg. repairs, hacking)
Slapdash: Canus may repair broken weapons, but they will decay faster until they're fixed up properly.
He can also a build a few unique modifications, especially for sniper and plasma weapons.
Cat:
Do they periodically give the player items? what kind of items?
Cat hates sharing. Travelling with him is basically like leaving your sarsaparillas on the counter at the Lucky 38 and finding Arcade has been drinking them all.
Would they be able to do specialised task? (eg. repairs, hacking)
Roughing It: Cat's high survival skill and interest in botany unlock unique campfire recipes.

🌋 for nox, 🍹 for canus (from themojaveexpress ♥)
🌋 Done!
🍹 - Does your OC drink? If so, what’s their drink of choice?
Canus does indeed drink, and he’s a bit of a snob about it when he can afford to be. If it’s fancy (or pretending to be) he wants it. He likes top shelf liquors: particularly whiskey and dark rum.
He is also the only of my ocs who would be lured into a basement with the promise of a nice Amontillado. (he gets bricked into the wall while holding the wine glass to his ear)

🥦, 📎, 💡 for whoever you like!
Doing this one for Canus!
🥦 - Does your OC eat healthily or live off junk food?
Almost entirely junk food when it’s available, Canus doesn’t like to hunt very much so he tries to keep snacks on him at all times. His healthiest meal is usually root vegetable soup (he just throws unpeeled carrots and veggies with the tops still on them in some water, bone apple tea)
📎 - How organised is your OC? Do they keep on top of responsibilities, or leave things to the last minute?
Canus has 0 organizational skills whatsoever. He’s the worst frumentarii for a reason. If he had a phone it’d just be Vulpes blowing up his texts asking why he hasn’t turned any intel in for 5 weeks and getting left on read.
💡 - How does your OC enact plans? Do they plan down to the smallest details, or do the wing it?
He wings it every time. Usually it doesn’t go well and he or someone else gets blown up/shot in the process. However he often slides by without getting in too much trouble, because everyone he pisses off (the ncr, the legion, that guy he stole from) all mistakenly expect him to do the thing that makes sense.

yo, 10, 11, 12 for canus n nox 🙏
For Nox:
10. What do they fear the most?
Pretty much the Only thing nox fears at all is failure, not even drastic failure but just like making a mistake and losing reputation points over it which is why she has to be Perfect and Infallible always
11. Their biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?
Nox recognizes and admits to no flaws; which is also her biggest one. Her arrogance tends to have her letting conflicts escalate to a ridiculous point bc she views a lot of things as not being worth her time/effort
12. What are they most insecure about?
There is 1 insecurity nox has and that is actually not like, being married as most officers of her rank in the Legion would be. But she also dislikes the way legion marriages are conducted and just could never bring herself to do it all the same. (instead she just hooks up w her fellow officers’ dissatisfied wives lmao)
For Canus:
10. What do they fear the most?
He is genuinely terrified of lanius like everything else pales in comparison to his fear of lanius sacrificing him or some other messed up nonsense
11. Their biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?
Carelessness is his biggest flaw, he’s really prone to just muck his frumentarius missions up bc he doesn’t give a shit about Not mucking it up, and he knows this. However in his mind he doesn’t see it as a flaw because if he really had a reason to put care into his work, he figures he could
12. What are they insecure about?
Any of his scars he’s gotten from fights/missions/corporal punishments because while a lot of Legionaries wear their scars like trophies, Canus is incredibly vain and hates to be marked up (that said he still has totally fake overcompensating badass stories for each one)
