Belle Bonny

Belle Bonny is the 55-year old owner of the Muddy Rudder in Rivet City in Fallout 3..

Background
Born on 2222, the acerbic proprietor of the Muddy Rudder, Rivet City's "working man's" bar, Belle Bonny is a crotchety old woman, salty as hell, known for her sharp tongue, unswerving dedication to making money, and unceasing supply of alcohol. Gossip around Rivet City speaks volumes about the Muddy Rudder and, by its extension, its owner.

She is considered to be riffraff, even by the Hangar Deck crowd (everybody needs someone to look down on). She is a crotchety old woman, salty as hell. She won’t take crap from anyone: she even stared down Sister. Even Garza is reluctant to tangle with her.

Even though she has her faithful bouncer, Brock, brawls are a common occurrence in Bonny's establishment, and, rather than pay for new furniture, Bonny typically scrounges replacements from unused portions of the ship. Bonny rarely ventures out of her bar, however, and keeps longer hours than most other establishments in Rivet City, including her closest competition, the Weatherly Hotel. Only those about at the very small hours of the morning will find the bar closed.

Nothing is known regarding Bonny's past, and the tight-lipped bartender is unlikely to let on any secrets. <!-- // NOte the "Fresh Meat" bit and Aggressive threat/promise to have Brock bodyguard //

// Doesn't have a high opinion of her own establishment.... because its a roudy dive-bar //

// SHe WONT talk gossip. Agressivly Avoids it. Notes that Vera Weatherly is the town Gossip. //

// When negativly refering to her alcohol she has a sense of humor. //

// About Sister and Belle's attitudes //

// Knows Pinkerton well... enough //

// Won't talk about customers //

// Knows Pinkerton well... enough - Bannon is a lier //

Is there anyone on this ship named Pinkerton? I'm looking for someone named Pinkerton. Ring any bells? " Belle Bonny: "What a moron. Always going on about how he started Rivet City. Who gives a crap? Right before he disappeared, he was going on about some new fangled contraption he was sure was in the broken bow of the ship."'' (Belle Bonny's dialogue)

// Ted and it does rain @_@ - Is this Generic? //

Could I ask you about Rivet City's history? Have any stories about this place's history? " Belle Bonny: "History? What, not enough shit around here already, you need to dig up more? Don't know if it ever had an official start. It's just been here forever, stuck in the river and full of assholes."'' (Belle Bonny's dialogue)

// Dialogue whose parameters escape me. //

// NPC conversation needed too! //

HELLO When that little shit gets here, watch him. If he starts anything, kick his ass.

Every week you come down here preaching this crap. Why don't you just stay in your god damned church?

What'll you have? And don't say water.

What'll you have?

What?

GREETING I'm Belle Bonny, and this is the Muddy Rudder. I'll tell you what I tell all the fresh meat. Don't start anything down here or I'll have to kick your ass.

You're a new one. I'm Belle Bonny of the Muddy Rudder. Make it quick.

What the hell do you want?

RCPackageEnd Think I'll get something to nibble on.

Where did I put that food?

I'm getting tired. Watch the bar, Brock.

RCGoodbye No. I haven't seen anything.

RCGoodbye Nothing I'd contact security for.

RCGoodbye You're always trying to pull that shit. You know I don't run tabs for nobody, Tammy.

RCGoodbye That's a load of crap. Preach to them if you have to, but don't get in the way of their drinking.

RCGoodbye Don't tell me how to run my business, Brock. These prices have worked for 30 years, and they be fine for 30 more.

RCGoodbye This is the last one, Trinnie. You're too goddamn drunk.

RCGoodbye You're full of crap, Father. If you keep bothering my customers, I'm going to throw you out. Again.

RCGoodbye You're a Mirelurk humping, Wasteland reject, Armitage. You're getting a beer, and you're paying for it. And I expect a tip.

RCGoodbye I don't serve that swill here. Beer, whiskey, even some wine, but no goddamn water.

RCGoodbye Not much call for wine. Real men drink beer or whiskey.

RCGoodbye Potent. It'll burn all the way down.

RCGoodbye One glass of rotgut, coming up.

Quests

 * The Replicated Man: Bonny can provide some information and another breadcrumb on the trail of holodisks, but offers nothing conclusive.
 * The Wasteland Survival Guide: Bonny can provide a clue to the whereabouts of Pinkerton, Rivet City's missing founder. However, without information from other non-player characters who mostly reside in the Marketplace, the quest cannot be fulfilled, making Bonny's contribution far less valuable.
