My romance with Nora ... whoops ... Piper

[Captain Australia]

There really needs to be an option at some point when you're banging happily away with Piper getting the "Lovers Embrace" perk benefit that I can accidentally call her "Nora"

(There's a resemblance, so for me, she's a kind of proxy dead spouse, a kind of sick way of replacing the void let by Nora as I mount my desperate yet meandering search for Shaun)

Or even a casual accident while travelling.

"It's great travelling with you like this, Blue. I love you.", says Piper with a half-smile.
"I love you too, Nora", I say absently while studying the figures on the horizon trying to work out if they're Settlers or Raiders.

(Followed by a long, awkward and unsettling silence, signifying the slow and frosty decline in the relationship - which is appropriate .. my relationship with surrogate Nora also ends in a frosty and unexpected turn of events)

Since the game won't give this to me, I just dress her up in the unflattering pre-war housewife clothes, and assign her to chores around the Red Rocket .. but it's not the same :(

I didn't know this was a fanfiction board

Mate, I'm sure we'd need to build several multistorey libraries to house the many shelves upon shelves and volumes upon volumes of things you don't know. Actually it'd be much simpler to find a copy of "the internet and the uninteresting cliche personalities it enables" and focus on the things you DO know.

Mum always said: if you don't have anything constructive to add ... why not keep your idiot opinions to yourself .. oh .. right .. it's the internet.

you can go back to drinking canned beam and cola at the bus stop now

not to sound like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but it's "swap" and "you're" .. actually, sorry, just realised you probably wouldn't understand the whole DNR remark .. means "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" and it means basically that .. I don't dislike you enough to actively want to kill you .. but .. you know ... if you slip away after an accidental drowning ..

(let's face it ♥♥♥♥ like that happens to people like you all the time)

.. well .. it's probably best for all to let you go into the light.

Anyway, thanks for the constructive and hilarious remarks, it's been Real. But I have to go and do real world stuff, so sorry if my random comment about my character's grieving process was so hard to digest.
Kind Regards
