They own one of the casinos at the Strip. The Ultra-Luxe. Basically a casino dedicated to bringing back luxury to the wasteland or something.
[You can hear the eye-roll in his voice.]
All of the people working there dress in suits or dresses, and they're all really polite. They wear masks, too. White and gold ones. Always creeped me the hell out.
Yeah, I guess. Still not sure I'd blame anything except the White Glove Society, though. Some people wear masks, but they're not like those fancy ones.
[Somehow, the actual murderers wearing masks aren't as weird as the polite people wearing them.]
Maybe it's the people too. White Glove Society used to be a tribe of cannibals. They're not now, but I guess that's a reputation that's hard to completely shake.
Not sure, no. Actually, last time I went there one of the guys in charge was trying to trick everyone into eating human meat again. We had to get some guy out of one of their freezers before he was butchered.
Not usually my idea, but yeah. We've helped a lot of people.
[It's usually only his idea if it involves screwing the Legion over somehow, or rescuing slaves.]
I did a lot of travelling with a courier. She got shot in the head by some scumbag called Benny, but she lived and went after him. Found me along the way, helped me out with something so I went with her. She always wanted to stop and help people if she could. You don't get a lot of people like that out in the wasteland.
[Boone didn't know Benny, but from what he'd heard it seemed like the guy was a real asshole. He's glad that he got what he deserved, and it shows in his voice.]
She gave me the guy's gun afterwards. She didn't want it. Real nice one, too bad I didn't get to bring it with me.

[Way to try to make people paranoid, Wrench.]
But cool, cool, you get it then. Sometimes you just have stuff you like.
no subject
Thanks.
[Yeah, way to go Wrench.]
Anything I can do about it?
[Assuming he ever gets to go home.]
no subject
Keep an eye out, man. If this was home, I could give you some tools or something but it ain't gonna work if your shit's different.
But I bet you'll be fine.
no subject
[He's still going to be suspicious, though.]
Hell, maybe I should get a mask if I ever get back home. Like you.
no subject
[A legacy that transcends even the apocalypse. Neat.]
It's a cool thing to have, anyway.
no subject
[He has no idea how those work.]
no subject
I'm sure you'll come up with something awesome.
no subject
[He seems to think on it for a moment.]
I wonder if the White Glove Society wear masks because they know something. Always figured it was just to look creepy.
no subject
What's the White Glove Society?

no subject
[That is indeed one audible eye-roll, and Wrench can totally understand.]
Creepy is totally a valid reason for a mask, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're totally actually trying to go for that one.
no subject
[Since the masks are so fancy.]
If they're going for creepy, they sure managed it.
no subject
[He pauses.]
Elegant creepy. Totally an option.
no subject
[Even if he sounds unsure.]
Then again, there's not much back home that I'd call elegant. Mostly just creepy.
no subject
[He gestures vaguely with his hands.]
That's just my guess.

no subject
[Hey, man, you never know.]
You'd think fancy people would wanna maybe, I dunno, come up with something different and less related to cannibals.
no subject
[Normal, everyday stuff.]
You know fancy cannibals too?
no subject
[But hey, what's he know.]
That's pretty cool, dude. The saving the guy thing, not the guy in the freezer thing. You do that kinda rescue a lot?

[Sounds like that worked out. Not in the guy's favor, of course, but that doesn't matter.]
Definitely sucks we couldn't bring a bunch of shit with us. I would've liked to bring a lot of my things.
